571: Chapter 571 Blue Star Ecological Transformation Plan

“Furthermore, at that time, Blue Star only contained the most primitive single-celled organisms, and the oxygen content in the air was not high. Transforming it into a habitable planet would require a long time and a massive investment of resources.”

“This was indeed ill-suited for humanity, which had just suffered tremendous losses.”

“After a long period of consultation, and under pressure from the other two countries, Dragon Country finally agreed to the plan of designating Venus as a habitable planet.”

“The three countries re-divided the Venusian continent and each began to rebuild their homes.”

“To ensure human safety, all three countries, by unspoken agreement, began to clear out Mercury species. Almost all terrestrial giant organisms were slaughtered and gradually became extinct over the next 100 years.”

“Conversely, due to humanity's continuous reduction in investment in Mars, and a series of chain effects on Mars' operation caused by Mercury's disappearance, its ecosystem began to change. We will discuss this later.”

“Next, let's talk about the human cultivation project.”

“In Dragon Calendar year 7602, which was 120 years after Mercury was destroyed, Dragon Country secretly launched a long-term plan without reporting it to the United Nations: the Blue Star Ecological Transformation Project.”

“This plan was the predecessor of the human cultivation project.”

“The Mars Base you see was built at that time.”

“So why did Dragon Country formulate this plan?”

“This is because the Laventa Clan had already predicted that a great catastrophe would occur on Venus within the next thousand years, and humanity was very likely to perish.”

“Monga of the Laventa Clan has already introduced her to you, so I won't elaborate further.”

“Although their prophecy cannot predict specific events, it is still quite accurate on a large time scale.”

“Dragon Country could not make this public, because once it was, the situation on Venus would face a huge crisis. Therefore, the Dragon Country's high-level officials turned their attention to Blue Star, planning to transform it into a habitable planet over several hundred years.”

“This plan is the Blue Star Ecological Transformation Project.”

“To ensure safety to the greatest extent, Dragon Country spent a large amount of resources to build this secret base on Mars.”

“You should understand that an ecosystem is a very complex self-consistent system, and optimizing and adjusting it is a long process. This requires the joint efforts of several, or even a dozen, generations of Dragon Country people.”

“However, the biggest variable in this plan is humans. So the safest way is for the entire plan to proceed without human intervention. Otherwise, this plan will definitely fail.”

This is like knowing you have 1 million in your bank card.

Knowing this means that the 1 million will most likely not last long.

Because there are too many variables with people.

You might not be able to afford food tomorrow, or you might get sick and be hospitalized the day after tomorrow… In short, special circumstances happen every day, and they are never the same.

When you know you have 1 million in your card, some of that money might be spent due to one of these reasons.

After a portion is spent, the remaining money will face the same problem.

If this continues, can that 1 million truly remain safely in the card?

Even if it's safe in your hands, what about when it's passed to your children?

By the same token, can the legacy of a dozen generations of Dragon Country people carry on this plan without any accidents? Who can guarantee that?

Therefore, no one knowing about this plan is the best way to ensure its success.

“Then did the other two countries not discover the existence of this plan?” Oriental Chen asked.

“It's not that they didn't, they noticed it a long time ago, but no one raised objections, and no one stopped it.”

“Bagu Country, due to its huge losses in scientific research, has temporarily given up on the development of Mars, and their Mars military bases have also been abandoned due to long-term lack of maintenance. For them, whatever Dragon Country does on Mars, even if they have objections, they are helpless. The reason they didn't raise it is, firstly, insufficient evidence, and secondly, because Sa America didn't raise it, their stance would be meaningless.”

“Although Sa America still has troops stationed on Mars, they are pitifully few. Due to long-term insufficient funding, most of their Mars Bases have also been abandoned. The only two remaining bases are mainly for scientific research and have completely stopped the development of Mars.”

“They didn't raise it because they felt that developing Blue Star was beneficial to them.”

“On the one hand, Dragon Country's massive investment of resources in this area would inevitably lead to a slowdown in development in other areas. This is something they are very happy to see.”

“On the other hand, once Blue Star's ecosystem is improved, they can use the same trick again, uniting Bagu Country to pressure Dragon Country. This way, they can successfully get a share without any initial investment.” Dragon Three explained.

“They dream big.” Oriental Chen laughed.

“Indeed. But they overlooked a very big problem.”

“What problem?”

“Time. Even if the Blue Star Ecological Transformation Project succeeds, that will be hundreds of years from now. Humanity is already starting to decline, and whether they will still be able to leave Venus in a few hundred years is still a question.”
