I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 457 Internal Meeting, The Dawn of the Interstellar Age
Soon, it was October.

The new year's assessment has officially begun!
It can be said that the annual extraordinary person assessment has become the grandest event in the entire human society.

However, during the assessment of extraordinary individuals, most of the high-ranking members of the Human Alliance were discussing another matter.

Selection of regions for Earth terraforming.

The People's Federation has been discussing this matter for several months.

It's not that anyone is against it.

On the contrary, all the forces unanimously and without hesitation chose to agree.

Of course, the main reason is that Xia Yuan brought this up.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it would inevitably lead to a long and complicated dispute.

After all, while terraforming Earth could greatly accelerate the pace of extraordinary development, it still carries some risks!

So far, after deliberation, the SUPP has selected three general areas.

These are located in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the southwest of Kyushu, the Lijiang Waterfall Forest in western United States, and the Arctic Ocean in the northern part of the North Sea.

These places all have in common that they are sparsely populated and have a great variety and abundance of wild flora and fauna.

Therefore, it is a very suitable place for renovation.

However, the People's Federation did not only select these three places; it also selected several other smaller locations as alternatives.

We've only identified the general area so far.

The specific areas to be modified will depend on Xia Yuan's decision!

Just then, Xie Xuan, who was at the front of the conference room, spoke again:
Ladies and gentlemen, I have a suggestion.

Oh? What suggestion?

[It concerns the location selection for the three extraordinary talent academies a few years from now!]

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Isn't the topic of terraforming Earth being discussed now?
Why did we suddenly jump to the topic of choosing a location for the Academy of Extraordinary Individuals?

Smith's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.

Minister Xie, do you really intend to build the Academy of Extraordinary Individuals near these three areas?

Vice President Smith is right, I did have that idea.

Xie Xuan smiled and nodded.

In his view, building the Academy of Extraordinary Individuals nearby would not only make it convenient for students to go there for training.

It can also serve as a protective barrier.

This can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

I agree!

Before anyone could voice their opinion, the representative from the North Sea region spoke first.

Furthermore, the Arctic waters to the north of our North Sea region are not only rich in species but also vast in area.

[It can be said to be an extremely suitable place for renovation!]

【Yes! 】

The rest of the people from the North Sea region quickly echoed this sentiment.

【? ? ? 】

Upon hearing this, everyone stared in disbelief at the representative from the North Sea region.

Damn, your change of attitude is way too fast!
Wasn't it said that the North Sea region was too remote and unsuitable for renovation?

Where did that determined and reasoned attitude go?
In fact, the Beihai region was originally dissatisfied with the fact that the area to be transformed was chosen to be within its sphere of influence.

But now, they are eager to choose their own region.

After all, this is related to the location of the Extraordinary Academy!
The benefits of establishing a superhuman academy within their sphere of influence are unimaginable.

Moreover, there is no need to worry about the modified ferocious beast posing a threat.

Because the Academy of Extraordinary Individuals is the best protective barrier.

Actually, I think our Rakshasa Kingdom's Siberian Ice Plains are also very suitable as an area for land reclamation.

[Heh, the waters around our Cherry Blossom Country are clearly more suitable.]

[Bullshit, the tropical rainforests of our Silver Continent are the best.]

【…】

Before long, representatives from many different factions were arguing amongst themselves.

The current reactions among the people are in stark contrast to those before.

After all, everyone wants the Academy of Extraordinary Individuals to be established within their own sphere of influence.

Looking at the increasingly noisy conference room, Xie Xuan sighed helplessly.

If other people saw this, they might think it was a vegetable market!
[Please be quiet for a moment.]

After a few moments, the crowd gradually quieted down after Xie Xuan reminded them several times.

The point we are discussing now is not where to build the college.

[The first step is to determine whether the academy should be built near the redevelopment area!]

Of course!

The representative from the North Sea region spoke again.

As Minister Xie said, building the academy near the redevelopment area not only facilitates the students' training but also serves as a protective barrier.

[It's safe to say that Minister Xie's decision couldn't be more appropriate!]

The person spoke with a solemn expression, as if he had absolutely no ulterior motives.

But those watching from the sidelines twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Damn it, since your Arctic waters in the North Sea region are the top priority for transformation, you'll naturally say that.

This issue is indeed beyond discussion!

However, I think we should renegotiate the areas to be renovated.

The task of terraforming Earth is so significant that it should be approached with greater care and not decided so hastily.

At least the North Sea region is not suitable; they probably don't have enough strength to defend it.

That's right, if the Arctic Ocean is chosen for modification, unexpected things could happen.

Clearly, everyone's target was basically the North Sea region.

After all, the other two locations are located in Kyushu and the United States, respectively.

Who dares to refute this?

But upon hearing this, the people of the North Sea region instantly lost their composure.

[Bullshit! Why didn't you say this before?]

[And why is it that our North Sea region has lost its strength?]

Seeing the crowd arguing again, Xie Xuan couldn't help but rub his temples.

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought it up later!

Now, things are really messed up; it's likely that the debate will continue for a long time.

as predicted.

It wasn't until half a month later.

The group then reached a basic consensus.

The end result was that more than a dozen alternative areas were added.

However, the expressions on the faces of the people from the North Sea region were still quite grim.

This result clearly did not meet their expectations.

After all, the Arctic Ocean was originally likely to be selected, but now there are many more variables.

However, there were simply too many opposing forces, so they had no choice but to compromise.

"It seems I'll have to find another opportunity to talk to Xie Xuan about this later."

Clearly, they didn't want to give up just like that.

Now, the only one who has the ability to help them is Xie Xuan!
Apart from him, it is almost impossible for anyone else to influence the decision of the progenitor.

Now, let's talk about one last thing!

After the area to be renovated was basically determined, Xie Xuan continued:
A few days ago, I received a message from the Origin Academy.

[It is said that Professor Mays' ongoing project has made a breakthrough.]

Currently, energy conversion technology has reached a point of near stability.

[Barring unforeseen circumstances, the development of the power system should be fully completed within six months at the latest!]

【real? 】

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was taken aback.

It's safe to say that once a new power system emerges, it will undoubtedly be a revolutionary breakthrough in technological development!

Of course, it is far from being widely used in the short term.

This is not only because the source crystals are scarce, but also because the materials that carry the source energy are very scarce.

Currently, most metals on Earth cannot withstand very large energy outputs.

However, while resources are scarce on Earth, they are abundant in the universe.

Humans were simply unable to explore the universe before.

With the successful development of the source energy power system, exploring the universe will become a reality.

And it's not some distant future.

Within a few years, humanity will surely be able to successfully develop the first spacecraft capable of flying in space.

It is true, of course.

Xie Xuan smiled and nodded.

【Very good! 】

Everyone showed expressions of excitement.

these past few years.

Human society has invested enormous financial and material resources in developing spacecraft capable of flying in space.

Now, we're finally seeing results!
Compared to Earth, the resources in the universe are inexhaustible.

Once we officially enter space, the speed of human development will truly begin to take off.

Perhaps in just a few decades, the entire solar system will be covered with human footprints.

By then, the territory that humanity can live on will no longer be limited to just Earth!

This was a pleasant surprise for everyone.

Of course, to achieve this, the help of extraordinary individuals is indispensable.

After all, with today's technology, it is still too dangerous for ordinary people to explore space.

In the universe, the extraordinary are the absolute main force.

They will serve as pioneers for humanity, opening up new frontiers.

Please don't rush.

Our most urgent task right now is to come up with a concrete plan!

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xie Xuan smiled and raised his hand.

【Yes. 】

We don't yet have the capacity to build too many spaceships; we have to take it one step at a time.

Many people followed suit.

no way.

After all, the Human Alliance, having gathered the strength of the entire human society, has only managed to build a half-finished spaceship so far.

Moreover, it was thanks to the metal that Xia Yuan brought back.

Therefore, building more spaceships in the short term is clearly not realistic.

Yes, this is what I'm thinking.

Xie Xuan nodded, then continued:
In the first decade of the Extraordinary Era, our primary objective is to develop Luna.

Once the development of the lunar planet is on track, we will then plan our journey to more distant planets.

Over the next decade, we need to build a comprehensive base on the moon and stars.

[Simultaneously begin mining lunar resources.]

As you all probably know, the Moon contains a great deal of that metal brought back by the Primal Ancestor.

That metal plays a crucial role in both the construction of spaceships and the research of energy technology.

In the ensuing discussion, everyone shared their opinions.

However, in the end, the issue of profit distribution is still unavoidable.

After all, Moonstar is a huge cake.

Even though humanity has now formed a unified whole.

But when it comes to their own interests, no one is willing to back down.

Of course, those who contribute more will naturally receive a larger share of the benefits.

Everyone actually knows this.

Such as the Nine Provinces, the United States, the North Sea Region, and several other extraordinary forces.

They certainly gain far more benefits than other forces.

As for the forces that just joined the People's Association this year, they will most likely only get a small share of the spoils.

However, being able to drink the soup was already a good reward for them!
Minister Xie, should we send some of the most powerful superhumans to explore more distant planets ahead of schedule?

Just then, someone spoke up and asked.

There's no need for that at the moment.

Xie Xuan shook his head.

At this stage, most extraordinary individuals haven't even reached the Transcendent Realm.

[The risks of venturing into the far reaches of space are simply too great!]

Furthermore, areas that are too far away are currently inaccessible to us, so even if we obtained some information, it wouldn't be of much use.

Upon hearing this, someone else asked curiously:

Minister Xie, what level of spiritual attainment does a superhuman need to reach to survive alone in the universe?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Xie Xuan.

Clearly, they are very concerned about this.

After all, once we can survive alone in the universe, the pace of exploring the universe will be much faster.

Of course, the biggest advantage is...

Many factions might be able to take over a planet on their own with the help of superhumans.

This is what attracts everyone the most.

Don't even think about it anytime soon!

According to the Origin Ancestor, only those at the True Spirit Realm, whose strength surpasses the Unity Realm, can initially qualify for survival in the universe.

[And this is just for survival; it's not even enough to explore the universe, let alone reach the ordinary True Spirit Realm!]

Xie Xuan chuckled to himself; these people were thinking way too far ahead.

Leaving aside the difficulty of expanding territory, the terraforming of a life-bearing planet is no simple matter.

Even most planets, even if they could be terraformed, would not be suitable for ordinary people to live on.

After all, the bodies of ordinary people are far too fragile.

Ordinary people who have adapted to Earth's gravity and environment will find it difficult to adapt to other planets.

Currently, Mars is actually the most suitable place in the entire solar system.

Even if Mars produces oxygen and an atmosphere, which are essential for life, it still wouldn't be enough.

Ultimately, those who can survive for a long time need at least the strength of the Body Tempering Realm.

Unless we find another planet with the exact same day as Earth.

But that probability is undoubtedly too low!

It might take thousands or even tens of thousands of years to find one.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to get everyone on the path to extraordinary achievements.

To put it simply, one must at least reach the Body Tempering Realm.

Otherwise, ruling more planets would be virtually impossible.

The number of people in the Body Tempering Realm is the foundation of everything!

To solve this problem, we must first address the issues of insufficient Body Tempering Techniques and energy sources.

If these two problems are not solved, the superhuman ability will never be available to everyone.

However, a new generation of Body Tempering Realm cultivation techniques has already emerged in the former.

As long as Qin Xue can prove that the cultivation technique she created is without problems.

That leaves only the issue of energy source!

Xie Xuan sighed silently.

"I hope Xia Yuan can really succeed!"
