My Items Have an Upgrade Panel

He thought there would be few participants but to his surprise…

There were over sixty academicians just for the meeting, and the rest, outstanding professors and experts of the “Jie Qing” level, totaled over three hundred.

The auditorium at Xi Gong University was packed.

Tang Rui sat in the second row, together with Professor Yu.

Although the first two rows were occupied by professors, no one thought it strange for him to sit there.

“Professor, this meeting is quite a big deal.”

“Yes, it was originally scheduled for the end of the year, but the recent situation in the USA has led the higher-ups to move it forward.”

“Is that necessary? An asteroid impact is a random event; there’s no need to rush.”

“Who said it’s random? But it’s a big threat to us.”

Academician Yu answered seriously.

Tang Rui’s mouth twitched.

What a situation.

Our original target was the USA, but now it seems the higher-ups have shifted focus from the USA to outer space.

The meeting began.

It mainly discussed the recent development of the country’s aerospace industry, the current major strategic opportunities, and the challenges ahead.

In short.

The meeting was about unifying thoughts, letting everyone understand the current situation, and what to do next.

Making everyone aware.

After the general meeting, a closed-door session began.

This meeting only involved a select few outstanding “Jie Qing” scholars and professors, and its content was explosive.

The South Heavenly Gate Space Station Plan, Magpie Bridge Relay Spaceport

Plan, Moon Network Plan, Guanghan Palace Base Plan, Jianmu Space Elevator

Plan, Space Great Wall Star Ring Plan, Mars Outpost Plan…

To be honest.

Tang Rui was stunned to hear these plans.

Even as a “cheater,” he hadn’t thought of going this crazy.

But now…

The country was launching so many projects at once.

They planned to establish a traffic network between Earth and the Moon within ten years, connect the Earth’s surface with outer space in ten to thirty years, complete the construction of the Space Great Wall within fifty years, and establish a Martian outpost during this period.

Timelines were set.

And these were all major projects, with numerous smaller sub-projects.

For instance, the Jingwei Asteroid Development Plan, Bai Ze Intelligent Defense Network, and so on.

After hearing all this, Tang Rui was skeptical if this was the Chinese version of the Star Wars program, but it didn’t seem so.

Even he couldn’t determine who, let alone the USA.

Forget trying to discern the truth; the question was, would they follow or not?
