A week after finishing his conversation with Luo Ji, Lin Feng established a direct video link with the PDC again and explained his concept for space cities.
"Space cities?" PDC Rotating Chairman Garnin asked.
"Yes. I plan to build space cities. If humanity wants to fight the Trisolarans, deep development of other planets is something we must do. But other planets are nowhere near as suitable for human survival as Earth; their environments are extremely harsh. Even Mars, which is relatively habitable for humans, has dust storms every day."
"Therefore, establishing space cities in the orbits of these planets is absolutely necessary."
The concept of space cities was meant to be combined with the space farmland he had considered before. Space farmland would not only ease the food shortages of the Great Depression, but also serve as food bases and supply transit stations for the space cities.
With space cities as a foundation, whether it was Radiiaz's Dyson Cloud plan or the extraction of Jupiter's hydrogen resources, they would have suitable staging points.
"Have you considered the threat these space cities would face once the Trisolaran Fleet arrives?" the Russian Representative asked.
Lin Feng answered as though it were obvious. "What is there to consider? Won't the Trisolaran Fleet still need a long time to get here? We can evacuate the populations of those space cities before the fleet reaches the Solar System. It's not as if they can move at light speed."
"Or we could equip those space cities with engines from the beginning and convert them into enormous mobile spacecraft."
"There's no air resistance in space. As long as there is even a little acceleration, velocity can gradually stack up to very high speeds. If we accurately estimate when the Trisolaran Fleet will arrive, these space cities can
