"Alright, Ye Chen, we've received the gifts and witnessed the power of artificial intelligence."
"Now, let's get down to business."
After seeing that the arrangements for the capture of the spy had been made, the top leader regained his composure and spoke to Ye Chen.
"Of course, that was just an appetizer. What I really want to show you, leaders, is my space development plan," Ye Chen said, swiping his finger across the large screen.
Then, the screen switched to show the outline of his three-year plan.
"I know that the Chinese Academy of Sciences has formulated the Tiangong Kaiwu Plan, which is prepared to take a hundred years to complete the development of space resources, but according to my plan, it will only take three years to complete!" Ye Chen said confidently.
"Three years! Are you sure?" the second-in-command said in surprise.
"Of course, I already have a detailed plan and technological reserves. Please take a look, esteemed leaders," Ye Chen said, continuing to scroll through the plan on the large screen.
"My plan is to take a step-by-step approach, gradually building bases on the moon, Mars and other celestial bodies, developing resources, and leading the development of related science and technology."
"The first step is to build a space resource supply station at the Lagrange point between the Earth and the Moon within one year, complete the development of the Moon, and then establish a base on the Moon to form a system for lunar resource development and near-Earth small celestial body development."
"The second step is to spend another year building facilities such as an extraterrestrial exploration and mining station and a space resource processing station, using the moon as a base, between Earth and Mars, and between Earth and Jupiter, so as to gradually form the ability to explore, develop and utilize resources throughout the entire solar system."
"The third step, the final year, is to build a large-scale, commercial trading platform to comprehensively and sustainably develop the resources of the solar system."
"I believe that through these three steps, the resources of the entire solar system will be at our disposal, providing us with a continuous supply of resources, enough to free us from the constraints of Earth. At that time, China will usher in a leapfrog development."
Ye Chen stood in front of the screen, introducing the contents of the plan, his face full of excitement.
He knew that as long as this plan was successfully implemented, humanity would officially begin to enter interstellar space, and his goal would be one step closer!
"Good! Very good!"
After listening to his introduction, the five leaders all showed delight and couldn't help but exclaim in praise.
If this plan can be realized, then China's future will be limitless!
"Ye Chen, isn't three years too short? Our current level of technology and infrastructure is not enough to support this plan. Moreover, fully understanding the science and technology in your plan is not an easy task even for researchers!"
After praising the leader, the fourth-ranking official said with some concern.
Looking at the hundreds of advanced technologies, any one of them could significantly improve existing technologies.
It would probably take a lot of time for researchers to learn and master these technologies.
Hearing the concerns of the fourth leader, Ye Chen smiled confidently and said, "I had already thought of this problem, and it's actually not difficult to solve."
The images on the big screen changed as he spoke, and Tomoko emerged, this time wearing a white lab coat and a helmet.
"The base will adopt robots and automated production as much as possible. Resource coordination and production operations will be uniformly coordinated by Zhizi, which can maximize efficiency. It will be slower in the early stages, but it will accelerate in the later stages and will only get faster and faster."
"As for researchers, current learning methods are indeed too inefficient, but with this brain-computer interface device, they can engage in deep learning. Scientific knowledge will be directly engraved in the hippocampus of the brain, forming a memory, which can save a lot of learning time," Ye Chen explained.
Of course, the brain-computer interface device he presented had functional limitations.
Human memory can be categorized into many types, such as visual memory, logical memory, emotional memory, and motor memory.
To achieve a brainwashing-like function of replacing memories, many areas of the brain need to be stimulated. However, if it is just visual memory, such as learning knowledge, it is much simpler and only requires stimulating one specific area.
"That's wonderful! Ye Chen, you've really given us a big surprise."
The fourth leader looked at the large screen in front of him with a face full of joy.
"Ye Chen, since you devised this plan and provided the technical data, you are undoubtedly the chief commander of the plan!" the top leader said with a smile.
"Okay, I won't refuse."
Ye Chen readily agreed; at this point, there was no need for further formalities.
Only he can be the commander-in-chief; no one else can do it!
"As the commander-in-chief, why don't you give this project a name?" the top leader continued.
Ye Chen already had a plan in mind, so he said, "Let's use what's already there. Let's call it the 'Creative Craftsmanship Project.' What do you all think?"
"The wonders of nature reflect the vast sky, the profound universe is captured in the painting, we bravely explore the unknown and pave the way for a glorious future."
The fourth leader casually recited a few lines of poetry and said with a smile, "The name 'Tiangong Kaiwu' is good. If the ancient scientist Song Yingxing knew the title of his work and that it could become the name of China's first project to step into the stars, he would surely be very pleased!"
Seeing this, the top leader proposed: "Therefore, the China Space Resources Development Plan - Tiangong Kaiwu Project is officially established. Ye Chen will serve as the project's chief commander and be in charge of all matters. Let's all raise our hands to vote!"
After he finished speaking, he was the first to raise his hand.
The other four people raised their hands without hesitation, and the project was approved unanimously!
The top leader lowered his hand and cast an inquiring glance at the other four people, who all nodded slightly in response.
Therefore, he solemnly said, "Commander-in-Chief Ye, in order to better coordinate the smooth implementation of the Tiangong Kaiwu Project, the five of us have unanimously decided to appoint you as the Hidden Dragon Commander of China."
"Hidden Dragon Commander? Which Hidden Dragon Commander is it from the rumors?" Ye Chen asked, a thought flashing through his mind as he recalled some folk tales in China, though the official position had never been made public.
Rumors circulate that the Hidden Dragon Commander's role is equivalent to that of the Vice President of the United States. When the existing leaders are unable to fulfill their duties, the Hidden Dragon Commander will step out from behind the scenes and assume the role of interim leader to ensure the normal operation of the regime.
Throughout Chinese history, General Yinlong has repeatedly turned the tide during times of national crisis, ensuring a smooth transition of power.
"That's it. I hope you won't refuse." The number one leader said, taking out a token and an authorization letter from his pocket, standing up and solemnly handing them to Ye Chen.
The other four leaders also stood up, their faces solemn.
Ye Chen also quickly stood up and solemnly accepted the two items from the No. 1 leader.
The token is palm-sized and dark gold in color. The front is engraved with a dragon pattern, and the back is engraved with the two small seal characters "Hidden Dragon".
As for the authorization letter, Ye Chen glanced at it briefly and saw that it had the signatures of five people.
He was authorized to perform duties in place of the five individuals if they became incapacitated.
"Thank you for your trust, leaders. I will certainly fulfill my duties as Commander Hidden Dragon!"
