Hearing Peng Yixuan’s question, Tang Li smiled and said,
“This life, we will not build underground and underwater cities in the name of the government. Instead, we will establish a company to construct them.”
“Furthermore, we will only build them in sparsely populated areas, such as the northwestern Gobi Desert, the snowy plateau, the deep mountains of the northeast, and the oceans of the East and South China Seas.”
“Our country has vast uninhabited areas in the west and a very large sea area, enough to build underground and underwater cities that can accommodate over a billion people nationwide.”
“Connecting these underground and underwater cities through underground and underwater tunnels will form a transportation network that can also cover the entire country.”
“This way, when the apocalypse arrives, it will be very convenient to build underground cities in the central regions or expand to other parts of the world.”
Xue Keyue heard this and asked, “But building underground and underwater cities requires a large amount of steel. If the government doesn't act, how can we possibly gather such a massive quantity of steel?”
Tang Li replied, “We can’t gather that much steel on Earth, but there’s the asteroid belt!”
“We have been together for two lifetimes now, so you must already know that I have a space that can replicate supplies, right?”
If in the second life, Tang Li had very well hidden the fact that she owned a replication space by using the identity of ‘Omnipotent Merchant Boss Li,’ then in the third life, while counter-attacking the Holy Light Organization, the fact that Tang Li could replicate items could no longer be concealed.
Especially for those who had been reborn with her from the second life.
“Once the space planes are manufactured, I will personally go to the asteroid belt and collect some small mineral asteroids. Wouldn’t that provide the steel needed for building underground and underwater cities?”
Upon hearing Tang Li’s words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that Tang Li’s replication space could not only turn mineral asteroids from the asteroid belt into steel but could also directly replicate finished underground and underwater cities.
This would be even more beneficial for their secret construction of underground and underwater cities.
For underground cities, it was only necessary to excavate underground soil and rock spaces in advance, install fluid-bound magnetic field equipment, and inject fluid.
Once Tang Li replicated the underground city modules, they could be directly installed.
Underwater cities were even simpler; nothing needed to be done beforehand, and the underwater city modules could be placed directly into the seawater.
Therefore, the most important thing now was indeed to replicate the technological products from the previous life.
“Finally, there is one problem that must be resolved: the Holy Light Organization.”
“We cannot, like in the previous life, directly bury the seeds of the Holy Light Organization’s R-country branch in Z-country, nor can we completely eradicate the Holy Light Organization’s Z-country branch. Doing so would alert them and draw the attention of the Holy Light Organization’s headquarters.”
“However, when we build the underground cities, and when the government makes preparations to deal with natural disasters, we must absolutely not leak any information that could let the Holy Light Organization know in advance that the apocalypse is coming.”
“No matter what, the Holy Light Organization must be completely exterminated, just like in the second life!”
The Holy Light Organization held absolute dominance in M-country and O-country.
It was impossible to eradicate the Holy Light Organization in those countries in the same way they had eradicated the R-country seeds and the Holy Light Organization’s Z-country branch.
Only when the entire elite class of M-country and O-country was annihilated could the Holy Light Organization be exterminated.
Therefore, before the apocalypse arrived, they could only cooperate with the Z-country government to eliminate all potential members of the Holy Light Organization from the start, and the construction of underground and underwater cities had to be kept absolutely secret.
Hearing Tang Li’s arrangements, everyone greatly agreed.
Following this plan, they began to act.
With the help of Old Song and Old Xue, Song Pinxuan established an absolutely secret laboratory to replicate all the technological products researched in the previous life.
Peng Yue, as the eldest, founded "Pangu Company" and, with the help of the government, acquired large tracts of uninhabited land in the border regions.
Brain-computer interfaces, engineering mechas, quantum communication technology, and infinite brain-controlled robots were quickly developed. They were operated by the disciples of the Peng and Bai families, along with Zhong Heng’s comrades, after they had used mental enhancement drugs, to excavate the underground cities.
Those involved in the excavation remotely operated the engineering mechas and infinite brain-controlled robots and did not know the actual excavation locations.
As for Tang Li, Peng Yixuan, Lu Wan, and others who were not assigned tasks, they continued to live their normal lives.
After the National Day holiday, Tang Li returned to high school.
However, she brought with her a brain-computer interface equipped with a quantum communication transmitter, allowing her to remotely control things no matter where she was.
