After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

In the conference room, the atmosphere was solemn and heated, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang cleared his throat, stood up and walked to the front of the stage. A carefully prepared plan instantly lit up on the big screen behind him.

"Everyone, our current shipbuilding and weapons production plans are progressing smoothly. However, if we want to fully defend against Charon, relying solely on high-end equipment is not enough. We must tap into our own potential and strengthen the strength of every Blue Star citizen."

"So, I announce a strengthening plan." Zhao Gang looked serious, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

"First, we need to consider the use of the genetic modification fluid. The amount of genetic modification fluid we brought back from the auction is limited, so we must select the best."

"Next, we will launch a rigorous selection process within the military, scientific research teams, and key industrial sectors."

"There are three criteria: first, strong physical qualities, able to withstand the stress of the transformation process; second, strong mental qualities and a firm will, so as not to panic in the face of unknown physical changes."

"Third, they must have outstanding professional skills and learning abilities to ensure they can quickly get back to work after the transformation and transform their abilities into tangible results."

"The selected candidates will undergo genetic modification in batches. The entire process will be monitored, and the medical team will be on standby at all times to ensure that everything goes well."

He gently swiped the screen and switched to the next page: "Furthermore, the National Immortal Cultivation Program will start early."

"This may sound like a fantasy, but the situation is urgent now. Our ancient books and legends contain many clues to extraordinary powers. It's worth a try."

"The first step is for the Ministry of Culture and Education to work with the Special Bureau to compile easy-to-understand introductory materials on cultivation within a week, covering basic breathing techniques and meridian knowledge. These materials will be made available to everyone free of charge through online courses and community lectures. Simultaneously, interest classes for cultivation will be added to primary and secondary schools and universities, selecting talented individuals for key training."

"In the second step, the city's parks and squares will be transformed into a number of cultivation sites. Spirit gathering arrays will be set up. Although they are simple, they can at least gather spiritual energy and facilitate people's daily cultivation."

"In rural areas, we will send professional instructors to the countryside to take advantage of the local natural environment and guide villagers to try cultivation."

"The third step is to establish a cultivation level assessment system, just like an academic exam. People who pass the assessment will receive corresponding resource rewards, such as rare cultivation elixirs and fragments of ancient books."

"Outstanding candidates will have the opportunity to enter the state-designated Advanced Immortal Cultivation Academy for further study, delving into more advanced techniques alongside top talents, and thus reserving a comprehensive pool of talent to protect Blue Star."

"Finally, media publicity must keep up. Major television stations and online platforms should develop special columns on cultivation, reporting cases of remarkable cultivation achievements, sharing cultivation experiences, and creating a passionate atmosphere for cultivation among the entire nation."

"We must make every Blue Star citizen realize that they can contribute to protecting their homeland. Even if it's just cultivating a little more spiritual power, when combined, it will become a force that cannot be underestimated!"

After Zhao Gang finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the conference room, followed by warm applause.

Everyone knows that this defense battle, a race against time and heading into the unknown, has already begun in full swing.

In the evening, Nan Qiao sat at her desk. She hadn't been to school for a long time. Tomorrow was the final exam, so she might as well cram for it.

I just flipped through a few pages of the textbook when I suddenly remembered that I didn’t know the specific arrangements for the exam, so I reached for my cell phone.

I swiped the screen with my finger, and before I clicked into the group chat, I saw a series of unread messages, all from Fang Xuyao.

When she clicked on the message, her head buzzed. Today was Fang Xuyao’s birthday!

I've been so busy lately that I've completely forgotten about this matter.

I looked up at the clock on the wall. It was exactly eight o'clock. There was still time to make amends.

Nan Qiao dialed Uncle Zhao Gang's number without hesitation. Her voice was urgent and a bit flattering. She applied to the other party for the use of the Dark Shadow Sky Breaker. After getting the approval, she breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Fang Xuyao's birthday was dull and boring.

After sitting down to eat dinner with his family, he would go back to his room and fiddle with his favorite stargazing equipment. The more he fiddled, the more annoyed he became.

What on earth is Nan Qiao busy about? She even forgot about his birthday?

Just as I was secretly feeling annoyed, I heard my grandfather knock on the door, "Xuyao, there are some special forces people at the door. They said they are looking for you."

Fang Xuyao ​​was full of doubts. He had never had any contact with the special forces. Why would someone look for him?

He slipped on his slippers, slowly opened the door, and went downstairs full of suspicion.

Several tall, stern-looking men stood in the living room. Seeing him coming down, the leader stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Mr. Fang Xuyao, Miss Nan Qiao sent us here. Please come with us."

Fang Xuyao ​​stood there in a daze, his heart full of doubts was instantly filled with surprise. Fortunately, Nan Qiao had a conscience and knew to celebrate his birthday!

He turned around, waved to his grandfather, and hurried out with the special forces.

Fang Xuyao ​​followed those people into the car and sped along. Soon he saw the majestic Dark Shadow Breaking the Sky.

It is quietly docked in a secret space base, surrounded by towering protective walls and layers of encrypted electromagnetic protection nets. Various monitoring equipment scans continuously, and the security measures are top-notch.

Fang Xuyao ​​saw Nan Qiao and asked in surprise, "Why did you ask someone to bring me here?"

Nan Qiao smiled slightly, "I promised you that I would take you to see the stars if I had the chance."

"Today is your birthday, and I brought back the Shadow Skybreaker. It's just right."

"Look at the stars?" Before Fang Xuyao ​​could react and figure out how to look at the stars, Nan Qiao excitedly pulled Fang Xuyao ​​into the cabin.

After you settle down, the spacecraft roars into the air again.

When breaking through the atmosphere, the slight tremor made Fang Xuyao ​​nervous. He asked in shock, "Are we really going to space to see the stars?"

Did they just go into outer space so gracefully?

"Yeah." Nan Qiao grinned at him, controlling the cockpit while observing the starry sky with excitement.

Seeing Nan Qiao so happy, Fang Xuyao's heart also jumped for joy.

Soon, the bumpy surface of the moon came into view, and every texture of the craters was clearly visible, like an ancient epic engraved in the universe.

Fang Xuyao ​​leaned against the window, his eyes wide open, and exclamations came out of his mouth from time to time.

"That's nothing. Let's go to Pluto!" Nan Qiao snapped his fingers playfully and adjusted the course.

Pluto comes into view with a mysterious light blue halo. It is lonely and cold. The distant starlight shines on this icy planet, like a dream.

Fang Xuyao ​​subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he could touch the coldness that spanned billions of miles.

"You can actually fly a spaceship, that's amazing." Fang Xuyao ​​couldn't help but praise him. "Have you flown it many times?"

"No, it's my first time." Nan Qiao laughed, "Why do you think the spaceship was so bumpy?"

Fang Xuyao ​​choked. He was too careless when he saw the debris in space many times just now.
