Trading Cosmic Battleship From The Start-Chapter 124 - 102: We Are Building a Fortress_2
Chapter 124: Chapter 102: We Are Building a Fortress_2
More and more people are beginning to seriously consider the transformation suggestions of the Star Spirit, and voices from these people have started to appear online.
"Just now the Star Spirit told me that if I want to become a doctor, I can consider heading towards the field of prosthetics. My God! I’m a car mechanic, do I really have a chance to become a doctor in this life?"
"Hahaha, the taxi industry won’t be phased out, I can directly transition to learn how to drive magnetic levitation flying cars!"
"The Star Spirit suggested I learn city construction, saying that it will be an incredibly popular field in the coming decades!"
"I want to continue being a writer, but the Star Spirit advised against it, saying I might lack talent, but my fingers are nimble and I type fast, so I should learn precise mechanical maintenance... tragic!"
"..."
With the continuous emergence of these voices, many people who were initially resistant to transformation and didn’t want to painstakingly learn new skills gradually changed their minds.
On one hand, it’s because the learning devices gave them the courage to start anew in a brand-new field, and on the other hand, this will be a new era that is no longer boring but increasingly exciting!
No one wants to miss out on the convenience brought by high technology, the brand-new life it brings, and no one wants to live a dull life in such an exciting era!
And at this moment in the hearing.
Although Laurie did not see the audience’s reactions and changes, he already vaguely noticed something was wrong, and the sweat on his forehead began to increase more and more.
Clearly, today was planned to reveal the ambitions, even the conspiracy, of Star Sea Company and the Human Federation, but instead, he was the one rebutted into silence.
And these people’s reactions are too fast!
It’s as if they already knew what questions he was going to ask and were prepared for it!
Could it be Quint...
No!
Laurie immediately dismissed the thought; he had seen with his own eyes how miserably Quint lived after appearing at Star Sea Company. If it weren’t for him, Quint might still be on the street fighting other homeless people for bread.
From a prominent lawyer to such a state, he couldn’t believe Quint didn’t resent the Star Sea Company!
Yes, but he still had one last question, a killer question!
"Although I don’t understand why you trust the Star Sea Company, trust that Alien who still dares not to show its face, but could you please explain what you’ve been doing in Outer Space over the past month? Why does the construction industry occupy such an important position in your arranged economic transformation? What exactly are those thousands of Space Elevators transporting day and night? What exactly are you hiding? If these questions aren’t answered, then we can never trust the Star Sea! We can’t possibly trust you!"
The moment this series of intensive questions fell with Laurie’s impassioned tone, applause immediately erupted in the spectator stands.
Many people were waiting for this question!
This is also exactly the point the Star Sea Association has been vehemently attacking during this time.
Even at this moment on the internet, many were excitedly typing away.
"That’s right, what exactly are you doing above our heads?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
"There has to be a conspiracy!"
"I bet they’re building space weapons, just like the ’Insight Plan,’ with countless weapons aimed at every one of us!"
"God, my brother was also sent to space, I can’t even imagine what he’s encountered!"
"The Human Federation has been corrupted! Alien promised them the status of ’God,’ they’re traitors to humanity!"
"They’ve already been brainwashed; the cell potion contains microchips that can control everyone’s thoughts!"
"..."
No matter how ridiculous some speculations or conspiracy theories appear, when such voices are overwhelming, many people are bound to be influenced.
With all sorts of incredible alien technologies existing, these seem to be not entirely impossible.
Even some who originally didn’t care at this time couldn’t help but start getting nervous inside.
Could there really be a conspiracy?
After all, the Human Federation doing something big in space is undeniable; everyone can see it. In less than a month, over a thousand Space Elevators have spread across the globe, and almost all Space Elevators are running at full capacity, with countless large containers, unknown goods wrapped in tarpaulins, and many people being transported to space.
And a large part of this is coming from Star Sea Company.
Even now, as the voices resisting Star Sea Company grow stronger, there are still countless national cruise ships and planes ferrying back and forth from Star Sea Island.
Indeed, if it’s a bright day, when people look up, they can already see some silvery light at the edge of the sky, even clearer at night!
For the Human Federation to say they’re not doing something major in Outer Space, no one in the world would believe it.
So at this moment, those who have confidence in, or even gratitude towards, Star Sea Company could not rebut the resistors much online. They could only stare intensely at the screens, hoping for a response from the Human Federation and Star Sea Company.
However, the previously eloquent and confident Human Federation representatives are now falling silent one after another.
Including Song Yao, the representative of Star Sea Company.
They even turned off their microphones, seemingly having a tight discussion among themselves.
This reaction made Laurie involuntarily smile.
They’re guilty!
In his view, this was a sign of guilt.
He truly had to thank Quint; the string of questions just now was something Quint hand-taught him last night, even instructing him clearly on the tone and emotion, and had him repeatedly practice it many times, which led to the smooth and flowing questioning just now.
Quint also said that once he finished saying this segment, everything would be over!
It seems to be the case; the Human Federation would never disclose their secret!
However, what Laurie didn’t know at this moment was that Quint, whom he was thanking in his heart, was also on the spectator stands and let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"This guy finally got to it." Quint was genuinely worried Laurie would be too scared to throw out the question due to the fluent responses before.
That would have required finding someone else to go through the process, which might not have been as good in effect considering Laurie’s identity.
But since it’s been said.
For Laurie, everything is indeed over.
At this moment!
The representative of the Human Federation sitting in the center suddenly stood up from his seat.
Many cameras turned towards him at this moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, the Human Federation Parliament held an efficient online vote, and in the end, the majority of senators agreed, and at this moment, I represent all the senators of the Human Federation Parliament to announce to all humanity an extremely important event, one that even concerns the fate of all mankind."
He used a series of prefixes and adjectives, immediately elevating the atmosphere of the scene, and even the atmosphere of the entire global audience, to a peak!
After all, the preamble of his words was too exaggerated!
An emergency online meeting, unanimous approval, extremely important, involving all of mankind’s future.
Even Laurie, who was just smiling, couldn’t help but continually gulp at this moment.
And in the next moment.
The worldwide audience heard clearly as this Human Federation representative spoke with a booming voice and heavy tone:
"With the help of the founder of Star Sea Company, Mr. Shen, we are conducting a grand project construction in Outer Space, the project name is Planet Fortress! Yes, we are building our planet into a powerful military fortress! This is a defensive project that aims to protect our planet, our entire civilization, during the impending Interstellar War!"
