Even though Woolf is retired now, he still has some people's phone numbers, and some people once owed him favors.

Now Woolf used all these favors at once.

The result, of course, was failure.

As he had originally told Steinbeck, no one would agree to such a project.

This means they have to give up their current lives and pay huge amounts of money.

Even so, it is far from enough.

They must mobilize the remaining people in the world, take away the already limited survival capital from their mouths, and require these people to work hard.

Under this premise.

No one thought the project would succeed.

final.

Woolf could only helplessly tell Steinbeck the news.

However, Steinbeck remained calm when he received the call.

"Is that so? I understand," he just whispered.

With an unsettling silence.

Even Woolf was a little silent.

"I'm sorry," Wolfe said finally.

"It's not your fault, Mr. Wolfe. You've done your best. We all have." Steinbeck's voice was still dead silent.

In fact, he had guessed this result after his last meeting with Woolf.

From the initial despair, it was hard to accept.

Until now, I can only feel numb.

This is not the first time that his hopes have been dashed. At his current age, he really has no ability to struggle anymore.

After hanging up the phone.

Steinbeck just sat in his seat blankly, thinking nothing and doing nothing.

Until Dale's somewhat excited voice was heard.

"Dad, they are coming."

Steinbeck finally reacted. He looked up and saw two people following Dale.

Reed and Gu Yan.

"I'm sorry." When Steinbeck saw them, his numb heart suddenly collapsed. He couldn't even stop crying. He just kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

It was obvious that the other party had offered such hope and such a miracle.

But here, this generation, which was already full of sins, was destroyed once again.

Steinbeck even wished he could die right away.

But death is just an escape.

"You don't need to apologize." Reed said casually, "We didn't expect you to succeed in the first place. We asked you to try just to know the reaction of the human leaders. Now, we know it."

Such words of comfort obviously have no comforting effect.

The elderly Steinbeck still kept his head down, crying like a child who had done something wrong but could not make up for it.

"I can only say that the result is better than we expected." Gu Yan suddenly said, "Compared to what I showed you before, what you show us now is the real hope."

These words made Steinbeck look up in surprise.

The global government has rejected the idea of ​​reopening the space immigration project to save humanity.

But it gave them hope? "The space migration project was never the best option, at least not right now." Reed sat on the sofa, half-lying with his back against the wall, crossing his legs. "You don't think that we, who have artificial intelligence life, only have this one technology, do you?"

Steinbeck's eyes suddenly opened wide.

His lips trembled.

It seemed like he wanted to say something, but he was a little afraid instead.

He could no longer experience the feeling of shattered hope, and he didn't even dare to have hope again.

But this time, Reed wanted to give him real hope! "Take a look at this plan." He handed him a tablet.

On the front, there is a line of big characters.

——A new development city of human civilization.

With ecological cities as the main focus and sterile soilless high-yield plants as the supplement, we will establish new development cities for human civilization with positive growth in productivity and science and technology, aiming to have the industrial capacity to build space cities within fifty years, and the technical capacity to gradually improve and restore the earth's spiritual environment within a hundred years. This plan is a plan for human civilization's self-rescue over a hundred years!

Steinbeck's hands holding the tablet trembled again.

I was even more excited than when I saw the spacecraft power blueprints before! Because this was not a whimsical plan, it even listed every step in detail, as well as the investment required and the specific technology.

It is planned completely according to the current state of human civilization!

"The technologies listed above." Stanbeck raised his head and looked at Reed nervously and uneasily, not even having the courage to ask the following questions.

However, Reed said straightforwardly: "In terms of technology, we have already achieved it. What bothers us now is only the personnel and investment. As you can see, the new development base of human civilization cannot be built by us without manpower and material resources."

"Personnel." Stanbeck pursed his lips and once again looked at the plan in front of him.

My muscles couldn't help but tense up.

I just regret that I can’t be a few decades younger.

After all, we have already achieved this level!

Aren't these sinful people willing to give their all to make up for their mistakes?

"What do you need us to do?" Although Dale was equally excited, compared to Stanbeck, she was more expectant and motivated. She even mustered up the courage to look at Gu Yan and said, "Since you are here, there must be something we can help with."

"right!"

Steinbeck finally reacted.

He suddenly raised his head.

"No matter what you want us to do, even if it costs my old life, as long as I can help you even a little, I will do my best!"

He was out of options.

There's nothing we can do.

However, the two people in front of him, and the Human Reason Protection Association behind them, must have a way to do it, a way to save human civilization, so they came to him!

Now Steinbeck could only believe in this way to break free from the despair that made him breathless.

"We do have something we need you to do." Gu Yan was not polite. "I need your identities to assist us in propaganda according to our requirements. This war to save human civilization is actually a war of spirit and will!"

Don't forget.

They came here in the first place because of Steinbeck's identity as a "representative of hope".

Now we have found the direction.

So first step.

We must first gather together the hopeful people and the young people who also have hope! (End of this chapter)
