In the end of the ice age, I hoarded tens of billions of supplies

Chapter 2574 Elon Freeman's Exploration Team 2

Before deciding to head to Mars, Zhang Yi still needed to give some instructions to the people in the six regions.

Zhang Yi brought up the projectors for each region one by one, and the round tables lit up one by one, as if six people sitting thousands of miles apart had suddenly pushed open the door and entered at the same time.

Meetings have been held very frequently lately, because every minute and every second, the world is undergoing many changes due to the appearance of alien races.

So no one was particularly surprised; they just stared at Zhang Yi, waiting for him to speak.

Zhang Yi crossed his arms and said calmly to everyone, "Everyone's here, so I won't beat around the bush."

"I'm going to lead a team away for a while to find resources on other planets."

"It could take two or three months at the shortest, or... maybe half a year if it drags on a bit."

The high-ranking officials of the six regions looked at each other in bewilderment. Should they leave Earth and go to another planet?

This is something that other regions, or even all human kingdoms, would not dare to even imagine.

Interstellar travel, within the solar system, is also possible for some powerful nations at close range.

But it's just sailing; mining resources is far too troublesome.

Without a large workforce and advanced equipment, it would be impossible to do so.

But—he is Zhang Yi.

He doesn't need manpower or mining tools; just by being there, he can empty out veins of minerals as large as small mountains.

Space systems are incredibly convenient.

Guan Longyue from Shengjing moved first, her upright posture loosening slightly.

"You're leaving Earth? Where are you going?"

Zhang Yi didn't hide anything from them. He tapped his fingers on the table as he said, "Mars. It's the closest planet to us and also one of the most resource-rich."

A look of doubt appeared on Meng Yuanjun's face.

"But right now, the Huaxu Kingdom has no shortage of resources at all, does it?"

After several major battles, they gained a great deal of resources.

In particular, the resources of the entire Wuluan Empire were divided up among the six major regions.

Even if the six major regions only receive about 10% of it, and 90% is in Zhang Yi's hands, that is still enough to support their industrial consumption for hundreds of years!

Moreover, Zhang Yi later went to the moon, received gifts from the lunar people, defeated the Zhu Rong clan, and obtained their methods for applying geothermal energy.

The current Huaxu Kingdom is extremely wealthy.

"If we simply maintain the current level of technology, resources are certainly sufficient. However, given the current unpredictable world situation, we must accelerate the pace of technological development!"

Zhang Yi analyzed it carefully.

"Moreover, Huaxu lacks many resources domestically and relies on imports. For example, iron ore. But now the Australian continent has been occupied by many foreign tribes, and I don't think we can trade amicably with them."

Zhang Yi's words have given some people pause for thought.

In the past, we were all from six generations of humanity. Even if there were disagreements between us, cooperation and mutual benefit were the key.

But if even the races are different, then the focus is more on a zero-sum game!

"Furthermore, I discovered some advanced technologies from the Yihen tribe. If we can utilize them effectively, they will undoubtedly elevate the overall strength of the Huaxu Kingdom by one, or even several levels!"

Zhang Yi dropped a bombshell, which immediately caused an uproar among the top executives of the six major regions present!

"The technology of the Ihen Clan!"

Shang Daowen couldn't help but scream.

He quickly realized his lapse in composure, coughed twice, and then asked in a trembling voice, "Is it that second-generation human race, the one with near-divine power?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yi stated succinctly.

"We have already deciphered part of the technology of the Yihen tribe."

"These include new materials, a more powerful energy defense field, and more advanced weapon manufacturing technology. And—engines with higher energy efficiency!"

Zhang Yi heard a sound of swallowing saliva.

This is not surprising, because in any field, even the smallest progress will be quickly developed and amplified by clever humans.

Even if the efficiency of the engine is increased by only 1%, the power of energy cannons, defensive force fields, fighter jets, and space-based weapons can be greatly enhanced by one level!

Moreover, the technologies Zhang Yi mentioned, once developed, would elevate the technological level of Huaxu Kingdom by at least ten thousand years!

Anyone with even a little technical knowledge would look like they were dreaming and couldn't believe it when they heard Zhang Yi's words.

"If this plan succeeds, the Huaxu Kingdom has the potential to become a civilization that surpasses the Cangyuan Clan!"

Zhang Yi's every word was so powerful and resonant.

Ji Changhai took a drag on his cigarette, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Is what you said...all true?"

For the past five years since the apocalypse, they have lived in constant fear, feeling like a lone boat adrift on a vast ocean.

One after another, powerful ancient civilizations emerged. The Huaxu Kingdom almost perished when it faced invasion from the Wuluan Empire.

Ji Changhai is only in his fifties, but most of his hair has already turned white, all due to worry.

They dream of peace.

But peace requires sufficient strength to safeguard it!

"That's great, that's really great!"

"Your Excellency Chaos, please go ahead and do it! We will fully support you!"

There were no dissenting voices at the scene, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and exhilaration.

Zhang Yi nodded: "Those technological products are very good, but to actually make them, you need a lot of rare materials."

"Earth is occupied now, and I don't want to compete with those old guys for food, so I can only look up at the sky."

"This is why I want to go to Mars to obtain resources."

Hearing that Zhang Yi was going to be gone for so long, Xiao Lie frowned, his voice carrying a hint of unease.

"With you gone, the Huaxu Kingdom is practically empty now, isn't it?"

"If you're not here and someone comes along who doesn't like us and tries to lay a hand on us, should we put up with it or fight back?"

This is a very realistic problem.

They lacked communication with other races. They clearly understood the attitudes of groups like the Fangwolf and the Ironclad towards humans during the negotiations in Australia.

That was a stance that completely disregarded six generations and aimed to eradicate them as quickly as possible.

If Zhang Yi hadn't displayed formidable power and deterred them, the Huaxu Kingdom would already be engulfed in war.

Zhang Yi looked at him, her tone calm.

"We should be patient. The negotiations have just ended, and the Dragon Clan has endorsed the Huaxu Kingdom. At most, they will test our bottom line, but they will not dare to launch a major attack."

"Don't start a fight while I'm not around!"

“If any alien race causes trouble, write down their names. When I return, I will naturally confront them.”

"If you fight head-on with people when I'm gone, it's pointless; you'll just be sacrificing yourselves in vain."
