Chapter 1106: "Trench" Plan
Mogunov's proposal made all the committee members present nod their heads, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the benefits of this, and even Jiang Chen couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, because he and Kerrwin had come to the same conclusion when discussing it yesterday.

The Kuiper Belt extends from 40 to several hundred AU from the Sun and is dotted with icy microplanets ranging from a few kilometers to thousands of kilometers in diameter, as well as tens of thousands of comets left over from the primordial ice of the solar system's formative years.
The construction of fixed fortifications in the Kuiper Belt not only provides long-range fire support on the battlefield, but also provides supplies and ammunition to the defending fleet. The high-speed comets and ice bodies on the periphery can not only act as defensive shelter, but also provide abundant water for the garrisons in the fort.
"It's a good idea to build fortifications, but how to solve the problem of revolution, and if our fortress is changing positions all the time, how can we ensure that they will be able to stand in the way of the prospect of the colony ships and provide support to our fleet when needed?" Wu Changfeng asked.
"Don't worry about that," said Leibniz, who used to work at ESA, "the Kuiper Belt orbital period in the solar system is quite long, and if we build the fortress on the inner side of the Kuiper Belt, we can control the orbital period to about three hundred years." Considering the course of the Harmony Civilization colony ships, if they want to be captured by the gravitational pull of the solar system, they must approach the Kuiper Belt at a tangential angle while reducing their speed below the third cosmic velocity. At a wide angle of 60 degrees, our fortresses can provide effective support. ”
"As long as we make sure that Battlestar is in the right place to be completed, and that the engines fine-tune its coordinates, the plan to build a Battlestar is completely feasible. ”
After hearing Leibniz's explanation, Wu Changfeng nodded and sat back in his seat. He didn't know much about space technology, but from a military point of view, as long as he could make sure that Battlestar didn't go in the opposite direction because of the revolution, then the plan would be completely feasible.
Thus, at the same time as the construction of the space fleet, the general direction of building a spacestar in the Kuiper Belt was thus determined.
As for whether there is the technical conditions to build a fortress in the Kuiper Belt, which is 40 astronomical units from the sun, this is not a question to be considered at this meeting, it is the work of scientists.
Over the course of the next hour, twenty committee members put forward their opinions one after another, refining the details of the construction of the Battlestar. For example, how many artillery guns are deployed in the fortress, how much budget range is appropriate, the size of the fortress and the number of permanent troops, etc.
Jiang Chen also put forward additional suggestions on the plan, such as laying minefields on the outside of the Kuiper belt while building the fort.
The entire plan was named the "Trench Plan".
Considering that it is uncertain whether there is an organization similar to the "Black Ship" on Earth that may have ties to the Harmonious Civilization, the "Trench Project" is classified as Class E secret, and all information except for the fortress itself is not to be disclosed to the outside world.
At the end of the meeting, the 20 members took the oath in turn, pledging to keep their mouths shut about the topics discussed at the meeting.
Of course, the so-called oath is just a formality, and the law is not very binding on people of their status. No matter how much they swear, their ass is determined by their brains, and if conditions permit, they will fight for the interests of their homeland as much as possible.
For example, leak plans to relevant companies in advance, and then prepare bids in advance.
For at least 20 years, the Earth Defense Alliance will still have a strong national color.
However, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry, he had a way to assimilate them into "his own people".
After the oath was taken, the meeting was over, and the members put away their things on the table and prepared to leave.
However, just as the people were about to leave, Jiang Chen clapped his hands lightly and motioned for everyone to look at him.
"Before we adjourn, I would like to give you a gift on behalf of the Warp Trade. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Chen tapped lightly on the control panel.
Soon, four housekeeping robots walked out of the side door, walked to the conference table with trays in their hands, and distributed the contents of the trays to everyone's tables.
Facing everyone's bewildered eyes.
"It's a DNA telomere modification agent. ”
Hearing this unfamiliar name, all the committee members present frowned and became more and more confused. After all, the profession is not right, they all know DNA, but what telomeres are, only the Malay biologist has reacted.
"DNA telomeres?!this, is this...!" I saw that the biologist was speechless with excitement, looking at the eyes of the needle on the table, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably, as if he was looking at some kind of fetish.
"Is this ...... Transwarp Trade's Genetic Elixir? Holding the needle in his hand, Wu Changfeng looked at it with interest.
As the former deputy director of the Second Department of the General Staff, of course he had heard rumors about the miraculous genetic potion of the Transwarp trade, and Hua Guo had always wanted to get some of this thing from Xinguo to go back to research, but he had no intention of selling it at all.
It is said that the genetic medicine developed by Transwarp Trade can greatly strengthen the body's functions as long as it is injected into the arm. Even a weak IT coder can have explosive power and endurance comparable to that of special forces.
Crucially, this change only affects somatic cells and does not have any effect on germ cells, so it is not passed on to future generations.
Hearing the word genetic potion, the old Maozi officer also looked at the elixir on the table, his eyes flashing with fiery light.
"This is not some kind of genetic medicine," Jiang Chen shook his head with a smile as he looked at the crowd with different expressions.
"What is that?" Wu Changfeng was stunned, looked at Jiang Chen and asked.
Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously.
"Something that sustains life. ”
……
After the meeting, Wu Changfeng took the MRT to the living area of Star Ring City and returned to the hotel where he stayed.
Standing still at the door, he paused, looked back at the guard behind him, and said solemnly.
"Don't come in and disturb me without my orders. ”
"Yes. The guard saluted and stepped aside.
Walking into the house and closing the door, Wu Changfeng hurriedly walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, looked at the needle in his hand, and his breathing gradually became short.
He is forty-one years old, and to be able to sit in the position of major general at his age, and to represent the Republic in such an important position, his resume can be said to be unique among his peers. He has a beautiful wife, ten years younger than him, and he also has a son who is in junior high school and a daughter who is in elementary school.
With the double harvest of career and family, he thinks that there is no temptation in this world, and he can still bewitch his heart.
However, at this moment, his eyes were firmly glued to the needle in his hand.
His identity reminded him that he should take it back and take it to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for study, or give it to the big people who "need it more". Another voice, however, was repeatedly instigating him in his head to take it for himself.
At this time, he recalled the last few words Jiang Chen had left.
【…… The serum in the test tube is only 20ml, which can effectively resist aging and extend the life span by 10 years. Up to 10 tubes can be injected per person before absolute resistance develops, and each injection must be given a ten-year gap, and each injection will be weakened relative to the last one. 】
[Ideally, as long as you can inject this special serum for ten years, it would not be a problem to extend your life for seventy or eighty years. 】
[Frankly, the production of this serum is quite limited, and if it weren't for the day when you would live to see the 'victory', I wouldn't have given it to you at all.] 】
It is both your right and your duty to live longer than others. 】
[Of course, pick up or put down, the choice is yours. (To be continued.) )
