Although he said that, Lu Yongchang knew in his heart that such an important matter still had to be decided by the Speaker of the Council.

At least until we truly leave Earth, national interests will always come first.

then……

More than an hour later.

In that office within Beijing's first ring road.

"Hiss..." The old man put down his teacup, frowned, and glanced at Lü Yongchang in front of the desk.

"Yongchang, what do you think?"

Facing the Speaker of Parliament, Lu Yongchang naturally couldn't utter the same nonsense he had before.

He pondered for a moment, organizing his thoughts in his mind.

“Speaker, I believe we need to carry out this rescue mission.”

Representative Li raised an eyebrow slightly and took a sip of the tea in his cup: "Oh?"

"Even if it means falling out with the US, it's all okay?"

A glint flashed in Lü Yongchang's eyes, and he nodded firmly: "Not bad!"

The office returned to silence, with only the faint sound of water as the old man drank his tea.

a long time.

"Tell me your reason." The old man put down his teacup again, his eyes sharpening. "I need a reason!"

Lu Yongchang glanced at the calendar on his desk.

2031.10.12

“It’s been a year.” Lü Yongchang didn’t answer the old man’s question directly, but sighed softly.

The old man frowned slightly: "A year?"

The next second, a look of realization dawned on the old man's eyes: "You mean, the sun has 14 years left?"

Lü Yongchang nodded, then shook his head.

The old man was puzzled by Lü Yongchang's reaction.

But the next moment, Lü Yongchang answered the old man's question.

"Speaker, based on the mathematical model of solar evolution that I developed at the time, I estimate that the sun is about to undergo a significant change."

"It's estimated that in a few days, the West will also discover the problem with the sun."

Representative Li's expression changed slightly: "So fast?!"

Faced with the old man's sigh, Lü Yongchang gave a bitter smile.

Is it fast?

It's actually not fast.

According to the progress of the previous life, this is actually the sixth year since the sun underwent its mutation.

"So you mean..."

Representative Li looked at Lü Yongchang with a serious expression and asked in a low voice.

Lu Yongchang took a deep breath and uttered a sentence.

“Speaker, I believe it is time for humanity to unite.”

Even Representative Lee was horrified when he heard Lu Yongchang's words!

But soon, the old man composed himself.

His eyes flickered slightly, and his fingers tapped lightly on the desk in front of him.

From the old man's micro-expressions, Lü Yongchang could see his struggle and panic.

Human unity...

These four words seem simple, but they are incredibly difficult to put into practice.

Since the emergence of apes, the entire history of human civilization has essentially been a vast history of war.

Not to mention the whole world, even the Xia Kingdom itself was in a state of constant warfare a few hundred years ago.

"Yongchang," the councilor's voice was somewhat strained, "isn't it a bit too early to talk about this now?"

"We don't yet have the strength to convince everyone."

A smile appeared on Lü Yongchang's face.

“Speaker, if that’s your concern, I can assure you that we now have absolute power!”

As he spoke, he took a document from his briefcase and handed it to the old man.

"Speaker, this is an improvement plan for Xuan Nu No. 1 from the laboratory. You can take a look."

The councilor frowned as he took the document: "Improvement plan for Xuan Nu No. 1? What's wrong with the current Xuan Nu No. 1?"

As he spoke, the Speaker of Parliament gently turned to the first page of the document.

"Speaker, this improvement plan is geared towards military considerations."

"We named it Xuan Nu-X."

As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, a high-definition concept image came into the eyes of the legislator.

A fighter jet with forward-swept wings and an overall gray-white color.

"This is!"

Looking at the beautifully designed, lightweight airplane, the old man's breathing quickened, and a hint of excitement quietly rose in his eyes.

It is well known that a fighter jet's combat effectiveness is directly proportional to its appearance.

"Speaker, according to the design, this is a variable-wing fighter jet."

"Among them, the forward-swept main wings can be folded, which can better perform combat missions in outer space."

"As for the atmosphere..."

"Because of the significant reduction in cockpit and cabin space, this model of the Xuan Nu fighter jet can achieve higher speeds and carry more than 20 tons of missiles."

"In addition to ordinary missiles, considering that it is equipped with a second-generation fusion reactor, we have added a high-power laser rapid-fire cannon to it."

"..."

The councilor stared blankly at the documents in front of him, momentarily unable to process what was happening.

After a long silence, he finally spoke softly, "Yongchang, can we manufacture this Xuan Nu-X fighter jet right now?"

After speaking, the councilor looked at Lü Yongchang with anticipation.

He didn't want to hear that the plane was still just a concept product!

Lu Yongchang chuckled: "Chairman, if you agree, the first Xuan Nu-X can appear in the zero-control factory within three days."

"Hiss!" The councilor gasped sharply!

"You, you let me think about it!"

After speaking, the Speaker of Parliament took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions.

...

A few minutes later.

Representative Li suddenly opened his eyes, and a terrifying glint flashed across them.

"good!"

"In that case, let's begin the plan you mentioned!"

"By the way, how many of these Mystic Maiden-X are you planning to build?"

Lu Yongchang was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Twenty planes?"

"So few?" The councilor frowned and said in a low voice, "Are twenty enough?"

Lu Yongchang shook his head with a wry smile: "Speaker, I even think there are more than twenty."

"The main combat platform of the Xuan Nu-X is within the atmosphere."

"This thing... is only useful for now."

"Moreover, if something really happens... Academician Cao Liangcai speculates that only three to five Xuan Nu-X aircraft carrying nuclear warheads would be enough to destroy a country."

The councilor's breath hitched.

"Since that's the case... then let's do as you say and start with twenty!"

Lü Yongchang nodded: "There's one more thing."

"Speaker, we can consider announcing the rescue plan..."

The old man smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
