Chapter 26 Plan passed

"The sparrows on the telephone poles were made up by the Chinese because most people know that the American police number is 911, not 110."

"Only the extremely bored Chinese and Americans would be keen to make up such funny chicken soup stories." The French representative on the side said rather frivolously.

"Okay, stop talking about these useless things." The German representative said: "Chairman Say, no one said that people are not allowed to eat, but you seem to be a little too enthusiastic in this regard.

"To be honest, you are the one who has an abnormal obsession with agriculture. Even in the face of the three-body crisis, you still insist on making agricultural innovations."

"Please pay attention to your attitude. You should not question the personal attitude of the Wallfacer." Say warned the German representative, who then fell silent.

"Everyone, I have sent you the rough plan, please take a look." After Sai finished these words, the representatives from various countries started reading it with complicated emotions.

After seeing Sai's grand plan, everyone was stunned, not because of other reasons, but mainly because the cost was too staggering.

Such a grand plan cannot be expressed in terms of money. It consumes technical talents and resources. It can only be said that these plans are enough for the entire human civilization to take several years to complete without food or drink.

"Even if the governments of all countries do not spend a penny from now on and leave all the fiscal revenue to you alone, it will still take nearly ten years to meet your unrealistic demands." The British representative questioned.

"I wonder if you think that when the money is not enough, you can just print out more money?"

"Sir, you must know that not all places are as developed as the Western world. It's just that for some shady reasons, they have been abandoned by the media."

The fourth agricultural revolution proposed by Say can alleviate the food problem, and the poor who have solved the food problem will naturally turn to other consumption.

"Even excluding humanitarian considerations, you have always heard the saying that the economic base determines the superstructure. How can you develop an interstellar fleet if you don't even have enough to eat?" Sai pursued the victory.

"It is a pity that this naive idea does not comply with the most basic economics. No one can do this." The American representative also mocked.

"You mean the whole world should learn from North Korea?" Sai asked rhetorically.

"I, a wall-facer, have to protect the modern democratic system, but you are starting to be a dictator?" Say said disdainfully before the U.S. representative finished speaking.

"As for the poor having enough food to eat, we need to worry about it later. We should not delay because of the living conditions of some people."

"Of course I know that this project costs a lot of resources, but the benefits it brings are also amazing, and human civilization will usher in a qualitative leap."

"It's a pity that the PDC's Wallfacer hearing only allows the participation of the nine major council members, otherwise those small countries will definitely express their opinions."

"But this is an era of war! We are now facing an alien invasion." The U.S. representative argued: "Building a space fleet and a solar system defense ring is what humans should do first."

……..

In the end, under the balance of all parties, Say passed the Fourth Agricultural Revolution Plan at the PDC on the condition that the three-dimensional rural areas and ecological circulation circle to be built were reduced from the requirements of the original plan.

Because unlike developed countries with cutting-edge technologies, developing countries face the problem of a limited market for low-end industrial products, so they hope to expand the market through various means.

"That's not what I meant!" The American representative felt as if he had eaten a fly when he heard this. He quickly defended: "But the war with the Trisolarans is something mankind has never experienced before."

The main problem is that in the face of the three-body crisis, it is impossible to formally develop the economy and invest resources in foreign countries.

Of course you can do this after the big trough, but now it's very difficult, and you can't get over the political hurdle alone.

"It's impossible for humans to stop eating after the Trisomy Crisis. As long as humans still need to eat, the agricultural problem will be solved sooner or later."

"And if you want to lay the foundation, people must first have enough to eat before they can develop other things. So agriculture is the foundation of human civilization."

Secondly, the Wallfacer itself is a supplement to the mainstream defense plan. Say's previous vigorous involvement in the Space Force's refrigerant engine has actually caused some people to question it.

"The lighthouse of the world ignored the human rights of the poor in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and abandoned precious democratic politics before the Trisolarans arrived. This is definitely sensational news!"

"The Trisolaran fleet will not arrive in the solar system tomorrow. We can lay a solid foundation in a century or two first, and then build a more powerful interstellar fleet."

"Now the whole world is facing the Trisomy Crisis. Humanity still has a lot to do, and we should not waste energy on such trivial matters." the U.S. representative retorted.

But at this time, she voluntarily quit the Space Force to do something that the PDC would never do, which could actually increase public support.

However, it is different if the suggestion is made by a wall-facer. First of all, the wall-facer can do unreasonable things. The outrageous suggestions made by the wall-facer are worthy of encouragement.

"What I'm curious about is, do you have any unique philosophical insights like Socrates? Otherwise, how could you have the nerve to say this?"

"Ah? Do you think that the billions of people in Asia, Africa and Latin America are not human beings, but some kind of beasts? Otherwise, how can they be called trivial matters?" Sai asked, pretending to be surprised.

After hearing this, the representatives from various countries in the audience began to whisper. In fact, although some countries reacted violently to this, for those council members from developing countries, Say's suggestions were still very attractive.

"You are slandering!" the American representative said dissatisfiedly. He seemed to have a lot to say, but unfortunately he couldn't think of anything to say in defense.

This can expand the market by extension, allowing developing industrial countries to obtain a large enough market.

This can also be regarded as the result of the game between countries. Although the United States and Germany strongly opposed this, China, Russia, India and France voted in favor of this plan.

However, the countries that voted in favor also specifically stated to Say that the development of the Star Fleet is the key project at this stage, and the level of the Fourth Agricultural Revolution is under the defense of the Trisolaran invasion.

In other words, although the resources allocated to this plan are still an astronomical amount, they are definitely not as many as Sai originally requested. This is a scaled-down plan.

While the PDC countries were still pondering this plan, Say began to read the news on the Internet.
