I was exposed for mining on Mars - Chapter 238 ‘Pluto’

Cao Guolin is currently dealing with the matter between mechanical ascensionists and synthetic ascensioners. Because there is such a bounty competition recently, many people who originally planned to undergo mechanical ascension surgery have invested in research with a glimmer of hope and great enthusiasm. Among computer viruses.

Although most of them are like sheep in the herd effect, they are enveloped in the people and atmosphere around them, but they themselves are not aware of this at all.

However, Luo Xiu has already given Cao Guolin a target, which is that the proportion of Blue Star’s mechanical ascension users in the next stage will be increased from the original 2% to 20%, and all of these people must join the mechanical ascension legion and join the army. Conduct training.

This was not a notice, but an order. No matter how reluctant Cao Guolin was, he had to obey Luo Xiu’s order, and he also knew that Luo Xiu did this for the sake of the United Civilization of the entire solar system.

As far as the current situation is concerned, only Blue Star has the largest population, reaching 20 billion, which is actually far more than Blue Star can support.

If it weren’t for the explosion of technology that turned previously uninhabitable places into habitable places, and the virtual world also diverted a large portion of the population, and the shadow of war silenced some people who wanted to cause trouble, otherwise If so, Blue Star would definitely be in chaos now.

The other three civilizations of the United Solar System Civilization, except for the starships, are not very good.

The total population of Proxima Centauri is only one billion. Their physiological characteristics determine that they are a group of natural scientists. It would be a huge waste to send them to the battlefield.

As for the Kasakuk civilization, there are less than a million people, and these two decades are simply not enough for them to recover.

As for the starship people, they are all the elites among the Blue Star people. Each one is selected from thousands of miles away, and let them go to the battlefield? Cao Guolin himself did not dare to have this idea.

So after all the calculations, the largest number of soldiers in this war can only fall on the Blue Star people in the end. Who let us have more people?

Moreover, Cao Guolin remembered what Luo Xiu said was right. If all the two tens of billions of Blue Star people were really allowed to undergo synthetic ascension, then these Blue Star people with thousands of lifespans would also be a very big burden for Blue Star.

Although everyone wants to live forever, most people have probably never thought about how much impact it would have on the surrounding environment if they really became immortal.

However, if we want to solve this problem at present, it can’t be as simple as notifying people.

So Cao Guolin asked his assistant to find all the representatives from several regions.

Soon, these representatives sat in front of Cao Guolin.

There was a look of fear on the faces of these people. Although they had high prestige and power in front of the people, they knew that they were not enough in front of Cao Guolin.

At least they are not qualified to undergo synthetic ascension surgery yet, and the old comrade in front of them, who looks to be in his thirties but is actually almost a hundred years old, is actually a very successful synthetic ascension user, and his synthetic performance has already matched that of… Mechanical Ascendants are no different.

This is something that many people would not envy. Even the richest man in Blue Star, the royal family and the heads of other families with great wealth cannot do this.

Cao Guolin coughed, and then said: “I came to you today not for anything else. There is a policy from above that requires you to implement it, and it must be strictly implemented.”

“Yes, it must be strictly implemented.” The representative of the Americas region immediately stood up and said seriously.

The other representatives frowned at him and could only smile bitterly. They usually didn’t have many opportunities to contact Cao Guolin, and it was even more rare to win the other party’s favor. They didn’t expect that this old guy would take the lead.

However, Cao Guolin just glanced at the representative of the Americas Region, and then continued: “The policy is this. Within one year, the number of mechanical ascenders in each region must reach 5% of the total population, and the rest will all undergo genetic optimization. .”

“Yes, huh? What? Five percent?”

The representative from the Americas Region agreed at first, but soon realized that this was wrong. Wasn’t the proportion of those who requested mechanical ascension two percent before?

The representative of Dahua stood up and said: “Mr. Cao, what is going on? Why is there such a policy suddenly? You have to know that although mechanical ascensioners are welcomed by some people at the bottom, if there are too many, it will explode. Lots of questions.”

“Yes, there have been more and more complaints about mechanical ascendants in recent years, and we can hardly suppress the public’s emotions.” The representative of the Ocean Region also stood up.

The representative of the African-European Region didn’t say anything. Not only did the people of the African-European Region not reject mechanical ascensioners, but they welcomed them very much. If it weren’t for the strict limit of 2% of the total population, maybe it would even reach 1%. Fifty scales are all very easy.

Cao Guolin looked at the people in front of him and said: “I know everything you said, but you only need to know one thing, that is, the war is about to break out again, and these mechanical ascendants will form a mechanical ascendant army to represent our Blue Star. Go to war.”

This sentence directly silenced the atmosphere in the conference room, and the representatives from these districts were stunned.

As high-level officials in each district, they have some access to some internal information, but these internal information are still far from what Cao Guolin said today.

They originally knew that there would be a war between the United Solar System Civilizations, but they did not know who they would fight with and when.

Unexpectedly, Cao Guolin suddenly exposed such shocking inside information today.

Cao Guolin didn’t waste any more nonsense and directly put a video on the projection in front of him. This was a battle that took place on the ruins of the Star Gate.

This kind of fighting scene is beyond the imagination of the representatives of these districts.

Their mouths were open and their eyes almost popped out.

But what they didn’t expect was that they actually won this seemingly one-sided battle.

“Is that torpedo-like warship our warship?” the representative of the Americas Region asked blankly, pointing to the ghost warship in the projection.

Cao Guolin nodded and said: “As you can see, we have won this battle, but this is just the beginning, so we need to recruit a large number of soldiers who will only obey orders without fear.”

He didn’t want to tell these representatives that he wasn’t afraid of sacrifice, or that after the war all these soldiers could be restored to normal humans. After all, they could stand here, so they definitely wouldn’t care about such things.

The representatives from these districts nodded.

The representative of Dahua District stood up again: “Since we have won this war, I want to know, who is our enemy?”

Only then did the others react and focused their attention on Cao Guolin.

Cao Guolin took a deep breath and said, “This is top-secret news. I can tell you, but if this news gets out, all of you here may face prison. Do you still want to hear it now?”

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

Just kidding, it took more than ten or even decades of hard work and effort for them to be here. Now if they leave here overnight, no one can accept it.

What’s more, even if they believe in themselves, they don’t believe in others here.

Cao Guolin shook his head helplessly, and then said: “Okay, just do your job well. If there are no major problems with your work this time, I will apply to the higher authorities for approval of synthetic ascension technology.”

When these regional representatives heard this, they immediately showed excited expressions, and then they all stood up and bowed to Cao Guolin and said: “Then I’m sorry to bother Mr. Cao, we must do our job well.” .”

Cao Guolin nodded, and then put a file into the projection in front of him.

“This is the recruitment plan. You should all take it for reference. I will inspect your work progress in one day. Don’t let me down. This work is of great importance and I will not protect any of you.”

After speaking, Cao Guolin left.

The representatives from these districts copied the files into their portable communicators, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Although they had made promises in front of Cao Guolin, now that it really came down to the specific work, they were a little numb.

The ratio of 20% is really too high, which means that one out of every five people will become a mechanical ascendant. This does not take into account whether the other four people are old, weak, sick or disabled.

The only good news may be that mechanical ascension is also a boon to the old, weak, sick and disabled, and their physical defects can be completely eliminated after surgery.

…

When Cao Guolin left the conference room, he quickly received a call from Luo Xiu.

He originally thought that Luo Xiu was asking about the recruitment situation, but he didn’t expect Luo Xiu to directly ask him to represent the United Solar System United Civilization as an envoy to the joint meeting of the Orion United Civilization.

This is a great honor. In the past, such matters were left to Xue He and Gou Wen. Unexpectedly, Luo Xiu would let him go this time.

Some of the unhappiness in Cao Guolin’s heart disappeared immediately, and he came to the Starship Civilization Command with a smile on his face.

After Luo Xiu explained some precautions to him, he took the Catalina, Luo Xiu’s exclusive car, directly to the main star where the Bernie tribe was located.

As for what Cao Guolin could negotiate, Luo Xiu was not too worried. He went directly to a secret test base located at the bottom of the starship.

Everything produced and researched here was designated by him.

Inside, a silver-gray external mecha about five meters long is lying on the experimental table, and a machine nearby is polishing it.

This is the latest generation of plug-in armor ‘Pluto’ that integrates all the cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements of the current United Solar System civilization.

Although it only has a skeleton now, it only takes a few minutes for all the parts to be fully dressed.

Because there are too many parts, its height reaches five meters, which can completely wrap Luo Xiu in it.

“Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this is an experimental model, prepared for intelligent species. It contains…”

The researcher began to introduce Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu nodded and walked around the ‘Pluto’ test bed several times.

This mecha was developed under his instruction and careful review. He actually knows its performance better than the researchers here.

However, he listened to the researcher out of respect.

“Are there nanorobots in ‘Pluto’?” Luo Xiu suddenly asked.

The researcher was stunned for a moment, and then said: “No, because the current technology can completely create robots that are lower than the nanometer level, neutron robots and even electronic robots. This technology is in the breakthrough stage, so…”

The researcher didn’t finish speaking, but Luo Xiu already understood.

He nodded and said: “I’ll leave this matter to you, but within a year, this armor will be finalized, and then two thousand sets will be produced and stored here. You can prepare one for yourself, our starship The most precious thing of civilization is not the research equipment and technology, but you people.”

Luo Xiu looked at the busy researchers and said seriously.

These people were carefully selected by him one by one, and each one was a very precious asset to him.

Even if this war is defeated, as long as he can take away these people from the starship, Luo Xiu is confident that he can make a comeback even in other galaxies.

The researcher couldn’t help but burst into tears when he heard Luo Xiu’s words.

“Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you are so kind to us. It is the greatest luck in our lives that we can meet you.”

As he said that, he was about to hug him, but Luo Xiu quickly dodged him.

“Okay, I’m not here to watch your performance this time. I want to assemble ‘Pluto’ and test it out.”

Luo Xiu said helplessly.

“yes.”

Soon, the ‘Pluto’ armor that was originally lying on the experimental table stood up, and then the parts began to be assembled one by one. There was only a groove as high as a person on the chest, which was Luo Xiu’s cockpit.

After the last head part was installed, Luo Xiu nodded, then instantly increased his body’s metabolic rate, jumped into the groove of ‘Pluto’ with a small jump, turned around, closed the breastplate in one go, and then ‘Pluto’ There were sounds of mechanical bites all over his body, and then his eyes lit up.

“Welcome to the commander-in-chief to use the ‘Pluto’ armor for the first time. Now I will introduce to you the functions of this armor…”

The ‘Pluto’ armor has the backup data of the control system, so there is not much difference in terms of computing power or other aspects.

In addition, Luo Xiu himself was very familiar with armors such as mechas, so he quickly became familiar with the basic operations of ‘Pluto’.

What surprised him even more was that although most of the materials of ‘Pluto’ were made of strong interaction materials, its energy was very sufficient. As long as it did not remain in a high-energy state, there would be no major problems in operating for ten years.
