Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 545 - 321 Casting the Strongest Foundation_1

Upon hearing Elder Zhang mention the "Talent Cultivation Program," everyone’s spirits were immediately uplifted.

In fact, this program had been in place since the very beginning of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, when Superhumans first appeared.

Individuals like Bai Junheng were actually members of this program.

But due to limited resources in the past, the Talent Cultivation Program could only be carried out on a small scale. Without the ability to conduct large-scale screening, it was destined to miss out on many geniuses.

This time, however, the vast resources brought back from the Land of Inheritance were sufficient to support a nationwide cultivation program.

Elder Zhao looked at the people in the room, smiled, and continued, "Moreover, selecting geniuses is just one aspect. We also need to pick out some strong individuals for focused cultivation, striving to have our own Seventh Order Strongman before the next Spiritual Energy Resurgence."

"Right, only when we also have Seventh Order Strongmen will we speak with more confidence," a minister said immediately.

An officer sitting opposite him also spoke up, "It’s not just about cultivating strong individuals; our overall strength must also be elevated. We lacked the ability before, but now with cultivation techniques, that’s different. The threshold for increasing strength will be significantly lowered."

"Once the technology for the Gene Potion makes a breakthrough, allowing everyone the opportunity to become Evolutionists, we can enter an era of national martial training. Then, every soldier will be a cultivator, and only then will our human strength truly soar," he said.

The military officer’s words also immediately received recognition from everyone present.

Subsequently, focusing on these three points, everyone in the room began to express their own views.

Soon, matters that would affect the future were quickly settled in the midst of their discussions.

Once the General Staff Department adds in the details, they could be directly implemented.

The second issue was discussed for about half an hour before the third issue was finally broached.

Elder Zhang, seated at the head of the table, slowly spoke up, "Although we have established a plan to cultivate strong individuals, according to the data provided by Bai Junheng, the most crucial part of breaking through to become a Seventh Order Strongman is to comprehend the rules."

"But such comprehension is not guaranteed by investing time alone. According to his description, he is only one step away from comprehending the Spatial Cutting Rule."

"If lucky, he might have an epiphany and overcome it, but if unlucky, it might take ten or eight years, or even a lifetime, which is quite normal."

"For this reason, there are so many Peak Sixth Order Creatures within the various Forbidden Zones, but very few Seventh Order ones," he said.

At this point, he paused and looked seriously at the people in the room, "Therefore, we must come up with a plan. If no one can comprehend the rules before the fifth Spiritual Energy Resurgence, how should we deal with the Seventh Order Strongmen in the Forbidden Zones?"

As he spoke, Elder Zhang’s gaze turned towards the military leaders in the meeting room. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Not only Elder Zhang but all the others also turned their gazes towards them, after all, dealing with the Forbidden Zones was a military affair, and they had the most authority on the subject.

The five military officers in the room exchanged glances, and one of them took the lead in saying, "Since that’s the case, let me throw out an idea to get us started."

"In fact, our Fifth War Zone has always conducted research in this area and discussed it with various military experts. We unanimously agree that to deal with enemies of this level, we must develop new types of weapons."

Upon hearing this answer, Elder Zhang wasn’t surprised and asked directly, "Do you have a direction yet?"

"Indeed, we have a direction. Traditional weapons are definitely not suitable against Seventh Order Strongmen. It’s pointless to talk about ordinary conventional missiles, even the use of nuclear weapons poses no threat to them."

"After all, if you can’t hit them, no matter how powerful it is, it’s useless," he added.

Everyone in the room nodded, having witnessed the manner in which Seventh Order Strongmen strike with full force within the Forbidden Zones.

The offensive methods of Seventh Order Strongmen can take out all kinds of missile attacks from more than a dozen kilometers away.

Under such circumstances, even nuclear bombs with significant yields would hardly inflict substantial damage on them.

The military officer didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, "Traditional weapons won’t work; we need laser weapons. Only this type of weapon can ensure the hit rate."

Laser weaponry was already not a new concept; in fact, they already had laser weapons in their arsenal.

But conventional laser weapons could only shoot down missiles or drones.

Thinking of harming Seventh Order Strongmen with them was a bit of a joke.

So what he meant by researching laser weapons was the development of high-powered laser weaponry.

"That’s indeed a good direction. How far have your studies progressed? Can we expect results in a short time?" Elder Zhang inquired.

"The theory behind laser weapons is already mature, and the design plan is almost complete, but some components lack the material strength, and I estimate they’d be burnt out after just a few laser shots."

"Therefore, I hope to get the support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or even all domestic research institutions, to collaborate and tackle a few special materials," the officer immediately stated his request.
