Out of necessity.

Well said!

The president was sitting in his office. He looked at the TV screen and the applause from the audience. He couldnt help but feel excited.

Before the summit began, he was a little worried that Lu Zhou could not stand his ground against the western journalists and environmental activists. However, Academician Lu not only presented the achievements of China over the past five years to the world, but he also portrayed the potential for the future of the moon landing project.

The development of outer space was not only for the benefit of China but also for human beings obligation to survive. As a responsible superpower, Academician Lus words touched the heart of the president.

Director Li smiled and spoke.

After all, its Academician Lu. He is well-spoken. Every time I discuss issues with him, I feel enlightened.

Not only was he enlightened, but Lu Zhou was often able to solve the problems for him.

The thing he loved most was to visit Academician Lus home.

The president grabbed the armrests of the chair with both hands. He stood up from his desk and walked to the blueprint hanging on the wall.

This blueprint was jointly designed by the Lunar Orbit Committee and the Guanghan City Planning Committee. It depicted the citys appearance in the Guanghan Special Zone after the population exceeded 10,000. Even though it was just a conceptual picture that looked no different from a movie poster, many of the technologies involved were already achieved in the laboratory of the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study.

As long as they continued to develop step by step at the current pace, sooner or later, this blueprint would become a reality

The president stared at this blueprint for a long time. He suddenly spoke.

Speaking of which, when will the first batch of migrants leave?

Director Li responded, It should be in a few days.

The president nodded. After thinking for a while, he continued, Even though our Entertainment Department Office has done a series of promotions, I still feel like something is lacking.

The technology is in place, and the medium and long-term strategies have been strategized. But one important thing has been overlooked, which is, our spirit has not been conveyed to the world.

The Lunar Orbit Committees development of lunar resources is not only for China but also for the world and the future of mankind.

The president looked at the secretary, who was standing on the other side of his desk, and spoke with a serious expression.

Tomorrows newspaper headlines will be on Academician Lus speech on necessity.

The secretary nodded immediately and replied respectfully, Yes, sir!

In the early morning of the next day, a headline titled Necessity appeared on the front page of Everyone Daily.

The author took the speech of Academician Lu on the Copenhagen Global Climate Summit and his answers to questions from environmentalists. They depicted his thoughts on the future of mankind and discussed the ultimate way out of ecological protection.

In the end, the article refined the speech of Academician Lu and put forward the conclusion that human beings cannot be contained in a cradle forever, the only future is to leave the cradle.

Even though this sounded a bit ridiculous, it was actually a very serious problem.

There had been many species that dominated the planet and stood at the top of the food chain. They might not have established a prosperous civilization like human beings, but their existence was far longer than homo sapiens, which had a history of 250,000 years.

And now, most of those species no longer existed.

This showed that, even if an industrialized civilization never existed, it did not mean that the ecosystem and the individuals in the ecosystem could always live in harmony.

Ultimately, controlling nature was the only way out for human civilization.

This might not be the only solution to environmental problems, but it was the only solution for a better future.

Of course, since this article appeared in Everyone Daily instead of Science or Nature, the real purpose was obviously not to discuss the issue of environmental protection.

Its purpose was to convey a signal, or a thought, to the outside world.

This was all about the development of lunar resources and the conquest of outer space.

In other words

This was Chinas destiny!

As soon as this article was published, it immediately caused a sensation online. It spread across the entire internet in the morning and on various social media websites.

Even though there were no emotional speeches in the article, it resonated with the soul of every reader.

People were surprised by the amount of information revealed in this article, specifically the aerospace plans.

The first immigrants to the Guanghan Special Economic Zone will leave soon?

How come we didnt even get to apply?

The Weibo post from Everyone Daily was filled with comments.

F*ck me! Theyre really planning to leave?

I thought it was a joke? I didnt think that the Guanghan Special Economic Zone was actually true!

Is it too late to go there?

Go there my a*s! Its not a place anyone can just go!

Apparently, there are already more than 100 people in the Guanghan zone. The number of PhDs per capita is insane!

The widespread discussion of this article made people think.

Wow, I really didnt expect that there will come a day where we have to lead the world forward

Almost everyone who liked the comment also didnt expect this day to come so suddenly.

When they realized it, they were shocked.

Just five years ago, the throne of the global world still belonged to the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The imagination for the future could be found in a certain street in North America or inside a certain Western university.

Now that five years had gone by, the focus had unknowingly shifted to the East.

From controllable fusion to the aerospace industry, the rise of Chinas intelligent manufacturing had subtly changed the balance and redefined the new world.

How to move forward into the future also became a new problem.

They could leverage their power, sit back, and enjoy fat profits for the next century. Or they could manifest the prosperity of the community, building a future for mankind as a whole.

The whole world was waiting for an answer from the dragon.

And now, this speech called Necessity had obviously given an answer
