Those words made a great deal of sense.
Quite a few experts nodded.
Great Xia's Fifth-Order Robots, Sixth Rank Pangu, gun-barrel weapons, nuclear fusion, spaceships, Universal Factories, and more all required Zheng Gold. Its applications were extremely broad.
This material would provide an enormous boost to Great Xia's technological strength!
But the people from the Environmental Engineering Group and Public Welfare Group could no longer sit still either.
"I recommend choosing the Colonized Planet Ecological Transformation Plan."
An expert from the Public Welfare Group stood and immediately brought up real-time data on Blue Star's surface.
Extreme heat, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, superstorms, nuclear radiation, soil contamination, disrupted water cycles, atmospheric escape, and so on.
Red indicators filled the screen.
"Everyone, our thirty-six underground cities can still hold out, but underground cities are ultimately no long-term solution. They are merely temporary spaces for our survival."
"Advancing the technology tree requires large numbers of highly capable people, which requires a huge population base, and that population needs more space!"
"Our industries also need more room to expand!"
"Our underground cities have long been overburdened by these demands!"
"If humanity wants a future, we must rebuild the surface environment!"
An environmental engineering expert took over.
"The Colonized Planet Ecological Transformation Plan isn't just greening technology."
"It includes atmospheric regulation, Radiation Shielding Elimination, soil remediation, Water Cycle Reconstruction, Microbial Community Construction, Extreme Environment Ecological Habitats, and a long-term monitoring model."
"Blue Star needs it, and so does the moon."
"If we really take Blue Star and the moon out of the Solar System in the future, this suite of technologies will be the foundation of our survival before our civilization's migration. It is critically important!"
A materials expert immediately countered:
"If we had better materials, the planetary engines could be more reliable, our technology could
