After listening to Ding Yi's explanation, Qiao Lu finally understood the general situation.

Although it can't be said to be risk-free, it is already much better than he originally thought.

"So, what do you want me to do?" Qiao Lu asked curiously.

Ding Yi should not know the existence of the system, so why is he saying this to himself?

Ding Yi replied: "I hope you can submit a resolution to the coalition government council to increase investment in this research." Although the Wake Up Earth project exists, it is completely unappreciated, and the budget given is quite low, and if we can't change this situation, I don't think this project will ever be completed! ”

It turns out that although Ding Yi's status as a scientist is quite high, when it comes to political influence, there is still no way to compare with Qiao Lu.

If you really want to complete the Awakening Earth Project, the support of the government is necessary, so you need to ask Qiao Lu for help.

"Understood, I'll think about it." Qiao Lu nodded and said.

Shen Huabei, who had not spoken, stood up and said, "Then I will go back and revise the regulations for the use of the Earth Cannon, and prohibit the Earth Cannon from firing strong force materials until you complete the Earth Awakening Project." ”

After all, this is also an option, depending on when the Wake Up Earth project can be completed.

Qiao Lu also left Ding Yi's office, just awakening the earth required him to spend all his civilization savings, and he couldn't think about anything else for the time being.

However, before that, Qiao Lu still submitted a proposal to the Standing Council of the coalition government according to Ding Yi's request.

After all, this matter cannot be decided by him alone, and it still needs to be done by the Prophet and others.

Soon after, the coalition government convened a meeting to discuss the issue.

This time, the meeting was attended by a larger number of representatives, not only the permanent council representatives, but also experts from the Central Academy of Sciences, including Ding Yi, Grace, Shen Huabei and others, as well as regional representatives with important seats in the coalition government, including representatives from Japan, Germany and India.

The matter is even more serious than Qiao Lu imagined, in the final analysis, this is the earth of all mankind, and it is impossible to make a decision without careful consideration.

Luo Feng presided over the meeting as usual and said, "Okay, everyone should have already got the information and know what kind of topic we are discussing. But before that, let's make a simple summary. Dr. Grace, excuse me. ”

Although the plan was proposed by Ding Yi to Qiao Lu, when it comes to understanding the Awakening Earth project, Dr. Grace, who has been on the planet Pandora for more than ten years, has more to say.

After all, the origin of the entire project is the planet Will Eva of the Avatar world, and Dr. Grace is undoubtedly the most researched about it.

"Thank you." Dr. Grace stood up and began to introduce the entire project.

"I think everyone remembers that on the planet Pandora there is a nerve center of an entire planetary network, which the Na'vi call Eva, a bit like Gaia, the goddess of the earth on Earth who has long been worshipped, but it is real and has a reasonable explanation in science."

"The Awakening Earth Project is to give birth to a planetary will like Eva on Earth, and for this we need to complete a planetary miracle - the Flower of the Heart, which will become the nerve center of the Earth and awaken the consciousness of the Earth for us. There will be a series of complex changes that will follow, but I believe that in general it will be good for us humans. ”

Flower of the Soul, this mega-project is the key to the Awakening Earth program.

At present, it is only a theoretical idea, and whether it can be turned into reality like the Wandering Earth Project depends on the decision of this meeting.

Before Dr. Grace could finish speaking, the representative of Japan, Kayoko Yamabin, stood up, bowed politely, and said:

"Rude, I would like to ask Dr. Grace, how confident do you feel that after the awakening of the will of the earth, you will not be an enemy of us, but a friend of us? Human beings are not a noble race, and the idea of being able to find out the will of the earth is inevitably too lacking in reverence for nature! ”

Kayoko Yamabin, who looks like a gentle and virtuous woman on the outside, speaks sharply, like a rose with thorns.

Japanese Shintoism, which is based on nature worship, may also be influenced by this culture, which makes Kayoko think that awakening the earth is a very blasphemous idea.

At the same time, the literary and artistic works about the earth's decision to destroy humanity after awakening its own will are the most appearing in Japan, and Qiao Lu can't count them for a while.

"I can answer that question." Ding Yi took the microphone and said,

"As I said earlier, the Flower of the Mind will become the nerve center of the Earth, that is, the will of the Earth will be created after the Flower of the Heart is completed. She doesn't have 4.5 billion years of memories as we think, but like a newborn baby. What the Earth will do to us depends on what kind of message we send to her. It's not that we lack reverence, it's that the nascent Earth will really need our guidance! ”

Without the nerve center, there would be no consciousness, let alone memory, and the earth is still a blank slate, waiting for someone to wake it up.

"So what kind of message should we send to the earth?" Harald, the representative of India, said, "Should we treat it as a god? ”

India is one of the most religiously affected countries in the world, and if this Awakening Earth project is successfully implemented, it is inevitable that a new religion will be formed immediately.

Fictional gods can attract so many people to worship, let alone a real planetary will.

Qiao Lu was the first to stand up and objected: "No, we don't need a god who rules all things, and it is extremely dangerous to instill such ideas into the will of the earth. Today, the symbiotic relationship between human beings and the earth is one that prospers and loses. ”

"If you think about it carefully, although the Wandering Earth Project is our human self-help, it has also objectively taken the Earth through the crisis of solar helium flash. If we had chosen the spaceship project, and now that the earth has been swallowed up by the expanding sun, is there any god that needs to be saved by believers? ”

Wandering on the earth human beings are no longer babies who are still in the cradle, but they have not chosen to abandon this cradle when they grow up.

After this explanation, the participants' rejection of the Awakening Earth project has been reduced a lot.

It's just that it's impossible to make a decision in a while, in addition to the risk and religious issues, there are many other issues that need to be discussed, and Qiao Lu can only continue to accompany him.
