76: Chapter 76 The Tragedy of the US, The Plan

After returning from the moon, Su Fan did not head back to Nanshan Base. Instead, he went straight to the Kyoto Council of Elders.

On the way back from the moon, the Great Elder had already contacted him.

The Council of Elders was the central hub of the Xia State that countless people dreamed of entering.

At this moment, a spacecraft descended from the sky and landed directly on the small plaza in front of the Council of Elders.

As soon as Su Fan stepped off the ship, the reception staff, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward and guided him to a small meeting room.

The Great Elder was sitting on a sofa in the meeting room, waiting. When he saw Su Fan, his eyes lit up, and he quickly beckoned Su Fan over to sit beside him.

Once Su Fan was seated, the Great Elder wasted no time. He directly had the nearby staff turn on the large screen in the meeting room to play a video.

In the video, a massive monster was going on a rampage, killing and destroying everything in a city.

This giant beast was colossal; many buildings were not even as tall as its legs.

It raised its thick, powerful leg and crushed a building with a single stomp. Then, with a gentle swipe of its sharp claws, a commercial CBD building was sliced clean in half.

Beneath its feet, countless cars were flattened like tin cans, and people fled in a frenzy under the beast's devastation!

In the sky, over a hundred fighter jets attacked frantically. Unfortunately, whether they used armor-piercing rounds, incendiary bombs, or explosive shells, they couldn't inflict a single scratch on the giant beast.

Instead, fighter jets were occasionally struck by rays fired from the third eye on the beast's forehead, turning into dust!

Su Fan frowned deeply. Unsurprisingly, the giant beast in the footage was a Star-Devouring Beast.

The Great Elder looked at the video playing on the big screen and said with a serious expression, "Su Fan, this video shows the situation currently unfolding within the borders of the Eagle Nation."

"The city in the video is a major city closest to Yellowstone Park. It is currently in total chaos."

"According to information provided by the Eagle Nation, this giant beast was discovered underground within Yellowstone Park."

"This is a detailed set of data, 'voluntarily' (forcedly) provided by the Eagle Nation." The Great Elder handed Su Fan a tablet computer.

Su Fan nodded, took the tablet, and began to examine it carefully.

These were the archival records kept by the Eagle Nation's military professionals during their exploration of the underground beast in Yellowstone Park, detailing the entire discovery and excavation process.

As Su Fan read, his brows furrowed tightly, and his temples throbbed.

"Great Elder, the Eagle Nation is truly courting death!"

"Do they have nothing better to do? It was sleeping perfectly fine underground, and they just had to wake it up!" Su Fan was fuming. He didn't even know what to say about this turn of events.

"Some people in the Eagle Nation have lived the good life for too long; they love looking for thrills when there's nothing else to do."

"Now, they've overdone the thrill and kicked a steel plate," the Great Elder said with a smile.

"Su Fan, do you know what kind of creature this is?"

Su Fan frowned. He naturally knew what it was, but...

Seeing Su Fan's deep frown, the Great Elder sighed.

"Su Fan, you only need to tell me if the Xia State will be in danger."

Su Fan also sighed. There was no point in hiding this; it was better to tell the Great Elder. At least in terms of talent and policy, the Elder could provide significant help.

"This thing isn't just harmful to the Xia State. Once the situation worsens, no one on the entire Blue Planet will be able to escape!" Su Fan's expression was bitter.

The Great Elder's pupils constricted, and he gasped, but he quickly calmed himself down.

He asked solemnly, "What exactly is this creature that it is so dangerous!"

"A Star-Devouring Beast!" Su Fan's tone was grave.

"Star-Devouring Beast?"

"A monster that devours planets?" the Great Elder asked tentatively.

"Exactly!" Su Fan rubbed his temples. "These things feed on planets, and they are social creatures that exist in massive numbers."

"The Star-Devouring Beast in the video is only 880 meters long according to the Eagle Nation's data. This is clearly just an immature juvenile."

The Great Elder was truly stunned this time. He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea.

"I'm getting old; I can't handle such scares!" the Great Elder said with a wry smile.

"You've already been injected with gene optimization fluid; you can live for over another 100 years. You're not old at all," Su Fan said with a smile, not liking the overly heavy atmosphere.

"An 880-meter monster, and you say it's just an immature juvenile? And they're social creatures? In this situation, never mind living to 200, this old man might not even make it to next year."

The Great Elder regained his composure. In his position, his ability to maintain his mental state was top-notch.

"Can the Eagle Nation handle this Star-Devouring Beast themselves?" the Great Elder inquired.

"They can. They just need to drop a few high-yield nuclear warheads. After all, it's just a juvenile."

"If it were an adult Star-Devouring Beast, nuclear bombs wouldn't be able to hurt them."

Su Fan refrained from mentioning the Star-Devouring Beast King and Star-Devouring Beast Emperor for now, fearing he would drive the Great Elder to despair.

After all, dealing with a Star-Devouring Beast Emperor required a Level 4 cosmic civilization. He knew he had the system and could rapidly develop technology to raise their civilization level; Level 4 was not that far off.

However, the Great Elder didn't know that. He might know Su Fan was extraordinary, but he would never imagine Su Fan had obtained such a powerful system.

"Su Fan, I know you have many ideas. Do you have any suggestions for this situation?" the Great Elder asked tentatively.

"I do have suggestions. There have been breakthroughs in technology recently." Su Fan smiled.

"In a while, mechas can be developed and produced. Using mechas to deal with ordinary adult Star-Devouring Beasts won't be a problem."

"However, mechas require excellent pilots." Su Fan paused and took a sip of the special tea provided by the Council of Elders.

"Recently, I made a breakthrough in virtual reality technology and created a game called star wars world."

"This game can train and select elite mecha combat personnel."

"The future battle against the Star-Devouring Beasts is destined not to be a short-term affair."

"Elite mecha pilots will be the main force in the fight against them."

The Great Elder's eyes lit up after hearing Su Fan's words, and he said happily, "Su Fan, I knew you would give me a surprise!"

"Rest assured, I will fully cooperate in promoting the game star wars world."

"Alright, I will officially release star wars world in a few days. The gaming helmets and pods will be delivered to purchasers by Super God Logistics personnel," Su Fan said with a smile.

"The government will start with an order of 10 million sets. Give me a quote, and we'll transfer the money to you later." The Great Elder decisively ordered a batch.

He planned to distribute these gaming helmets or pods to the military and his own teams as soon as possible.

"100 for a helmet, 1,000 for a pod." Su Fan thought for a moment and quoted an extremely low price.

"That's too cheap!" The Great Elder was startled. Selling such high-tech items so cheaply—he hoped Su Fan wouldn't lose money.

Su Fan smiled: "The production cost is low, and I don't want to profit from the people's hard-earned money at a time like this."

"Not only is this the price for the state, but it will be the same for all Xia people."

In truth, it wasn't that Su Fan's production cost was low—he had no cost at all!

Take the star wars world game itself; it was deployed on a quantum computer, zero cost.

As for the gaming helmets and pods, their production lines were in the secret base on the moon, manifested from the system, zero cost.

The raw materials for producing the helmets and pods could be mined from the moon, and even the mining vehicles were remotely controlled by the Red Queen's AI.

Regarding the cost of transporting them from the moon back to the Blue Planet, with kunpeng no. 1, the cost was just a bit of nuclear fuel.

The cost of that nuclear fuel was a drop in the bucket for Su Fan.

The development of technology brought the ultimate liberation of labor!

In the future, the Xia people could either choose to live a leisurely life, relying on high child-rearing subsidies from the Xia civilization after marriage.

Or they could demonstrate superb mecha combat talent or powerful warship command capabilities in star wars world.

Or they could devote themselves to scientific research, contributing to the construction of the civilization.

Or they could simply be a person of leisure, doing things they enjoyed that weren't illegal.

Su Fan and the Great Elder chatted about a few more things, and then the small meeting concluded.

Just as he was about to leave, he was roped in by the Great Elder.

"Su Fan, there is a meaningful task. I wonder if you're interested in doing it!"

"What is it?"

"Evacuating citizens from the Eagle Nation!"
