Chapter 111 Lin Sen's Speech Part 1

"What everyone doesn't know is that the material for the Giant Reflective Mirror has been in production all these years, and we have manufactured enough nanomembrane materials and their frameworks to build 24 mirrors several times larger than the Giant Reflective Mirror on the Moon.

"Their construction will be very fast, taking only a few months, and they can be deployed in geosynchronous orbit around Earth, the 24 Giant Reflective Mirrors shining like 24 bright lamps along Earth's geosynchronous orbital ring.

"The Giant Reflective Mirrors can be controlled by computers, and with the help of supercomputers simulating climate change, they can focus sunlight where it is needed, finding a critical point to exert influence and temporarily altering the climate of the target area.

"We can use them to regulate the climate and reduce the impact of natural climate disasters on us. I believe that with continuous adjustment over a long period, Earth's climate environment can be restored to its once state.

"Earth is forever our mother, and the management of the environment cannot be delayed. We cannot entertain the thought that even if Earth's environment is well-managed, it will all be for naught if the doomsday battle is lost.

"The battle between us and the Trisolarans is less a war between civilizations and more a struggle for the right to survive. Whichever side wins, we or the Trisolarans, must carry on with the other's honor. If we fail, then we'll fail with dignity. If everything on Earth goes to the Trisolarans, so what? Even in defeat, we must not lose our dignity.

"The doomsday battle is still far away, and the most crucial thing is that we have the chance to win, we still have a bright future. We still need a warm and gentle mother Earth, and she also needs our care.

"In the future, managing Earth's environment will be our focus. The most important thing in this era is not sacrifice but reason. All of us can sacrifice everything, but that is not enough. We need reasoned sacrifice.

"The doomsday battle is still far away, and if Earth becomes completely unsuitable for human life now, how can humanity then develop with peace of mind? How can humans defeat the Trisolarans?

"The most important goal at the moment is to have a safe home, an environment where we can develop in peace, and only then will we have the hope to win the doomsday battle.

"Now let me talk about the second plan: the artificial food synthesis plan.

"When we were building the Moon Base, we combined controlled nuclear fusion with genetic engineering through improved processes, and produced a large amount of synthetic starches and proteins. These artificially synthesized foods have an extremely long shelf life, reaching over 20 years, while also being rich in nutrients, greatly solving the current human famine problem.

"We built more than ten large controlled nuclear fusion power stations for the sole purpose of producing these foods. The Moon has already stored them for 20 years, and the total amount of food is nearly 2 billion tons. This is a terrifying number; it can totally supply the entire global population with food for a year and a half.

"These plans might not have been understood or accepted at the time, but some things must be started first. Regardless of what the future holds, we need to be prepared. The mission of PDC is to always prepare for the future.

"There are still many places on Earth capable of growing food. In the coming years, the Moon Base will provide food supplies to everyone according to the extent of disasters. We need all of humanity to come together more closely than ever in cooperation, facing the challenges of natural disasters and hunger together.

"We might still improve our food production technology. Next, I will call on the world's renowned genetic engineering experts to study centralized and large-scale food production solutions.

"Using genetic engineering to massively produce food is absolutely necessary, and perhaps in the future, we might be able to completely free ourselves from the land and directly produce food to supply all humankind.

"In the future, there will no longer be hunger in the world. I believe we can soon emerge from this great depression.

"The third plan is: the population migration plan.

"Twenty years ago, Rey Diaz began constructing a super base on the Moon, and after 20 years, it has developed a very good ecological cycle system. Now the Moon can accommodate a population of up to one hundred million.

"The Moon Base is also still expanding. The Moon needs excellent talent. On the Moon, you can find a very decent job, and everyone has a good supply of materials.

"I also call upon the people from the disaster areas to apply for immigration to the Moon Base, as the Moon's most significant shortage has always been its population.

"Beneath the lunar surface, many caverns can be converted into hospitable cities where everyone can find work. Instead of living in constant uncertainty on Earth, losing jobs, it's better to move to the Moon. Construction on the Moon will not cease for hundreds of years to come; it even serves as a barrier against Trisolaris.

"Each of us needs to contribute our strength to the fight against the Trisolarans. Back then, many opposed the construction of the Moon Base, but looking at it now, it was an undeniably correct decision, closely related to our struggle against the Great Ravine.

"We go to build the Moon, and perhaps in the future you will see its true significance.

"The future needs us to create it together. Future, let us encourage each other!

"The fourth plan is: the Underground Shelter Project.

"Underground shelters were originally prepared to cope with extreme climate disasters, providing us with a place of refuge. It isn't so much a plan as it is a disaster emergency measure.

"On this point, I had previously contacted all countries to build underground shelters. For this reason, over the past 20 years, we have transported a massive amount of plastic steel materials from the Moon to Earth.

"Initially, we didn't want to return to Earth empty-handed after each delivery of goods to the Moon, so we brought back these materials unavailable on Earth and transported them to the surface via the space elevator. Now, it's time for these materials to come into great use.

"The Moon Base is mostly located beneath the surface in lunar caves and hollows, and this material plays a crucial role there. It provides essential support to building structures. Although its strength might not match steel, it's fairly close.

"Its biggest advantage is that construction is swift; using the latest 3D printing technology, it will be the best construction material for underground shelters.

"Even countries that haven't pre-emptively built underground shelters need not worry. According to meteorological experts' predictions, that unprecedented disaster is still more than half a year away, so there is still time.

"Humans in high-latitude regions who cannot relocate can start building underground shelters directly. The faster giant tunnel boring machines excavate, the faster the shelters can be constructed. Currently, the most critical bottleneck is the production capacity of these machines, which requires PDC to coordinate resources for production. Time is of the essence, and we must hurry.

"All countries that need lunar plastic steel materials can now contact the person in charge of the Moon Base. He will allocate sufficient materials to each country based on specific regional conditions.

"Lastly, I want to say that I am still alive, and the Trisolarans have not used Sophons to assassinate me. Based on the current human situation, some of the original plans can also be temporarily changed.

"I will temporarily cease the construction of the Space Particle Accelerator Starship; we need to invest our limited resources in improving human life and environmental governance.

"I also suggest to the PDC that mainstream defensive construction should also be paused for a while. Our human homeland is what is most worth protecting. We must take global action to strengthen cooperation worldwide and move forward together.

"Our disasters are not only hunger and natural calamities, but also the attacks and strife from within humanity, worsening the disaster. Many areas are already in a state of social order breakdown, and they need a collective and joint rescue effort.

"Although the PDC and various national governments have established Global Disaster Relief Centers, it is not enough, and unity is required from everyone.

"In the past, for the construction of the Moon Base, resources from around the world were prioritized for it. Now, it's time for the Moon Base to reciprocate Earth's generosity. The Moon Base will also establish a Global Disaster Relief Center to carry out rescue operations for all those affected by disasters."
