Chapter 151: Hibernation Again_1

In the mountainous region of northern China, by the shore of a small reservoir unmarked on any map, a grand meeting to carve up the Moon was underway.

The host of this grand affair was Jiang Yu, after the American representative had stabbed the Australian representative in the back.

Jiang Yu merely had the Australian representative leave the venue without pursing the matter further and then he began setting up regulations for the development of the Moon.

The first was that the previously released resources were enough for everyone to develop for a while, with the rest to be disclosed later.

The pressing matter at hand was to use the four "wastelands" of the Moon to gather the capitalists' money into the hands of various countries in order to alleviate their financial crises.

This was something Jiang Yu had proposed half a year ago, but at that time, representatives from countries like America wanted to go it alone, so the matter was shelved.

Now that Jiang Yu was bringing it up again, everyone quickly drafted a charter that would be passed at the next PDC summit as a resolution to sell lunar land.

The distribution of interests was also concluded in a few words, with the seven permanent members taking the lion's share, while the other countries joining the excitement also got a slice of the action.

Representatives from European countries like the UK and France felt somewhat aggrieved in their hearts, look at their Wallfacer, already starting to work for the benefit of the whole world.

Then look at their own Wallfacers, they only know how to ask for their own money.

After this round of division, Jiang Yu temporarily took control of the development of the Moon.

However, he also knew that all of this was temporary; as soon as countries had the spare capacity, they would try to occupy as much lunar land as possible.

Regardless of whether there were resources or not, they would stake claims first.

And then the way he would interact with these countries would have to change again.

Having concluded this session of division, Jiang Yu found he had no other matters to attend to.

After diplomatically retrieving the engineer named Paul, Jiang Yu once again began preparing for hibernation.

It was then that Jiang Yu learned Logic had returned from Europe to the domestic sphere and was preparing to hold a video-style Wallfacer hearing.

Jiang Yu sighed, Logic had finally reached this stage, which also meant he was facing immense danger.

However, facing the attack of the Genetic Missile, Jiang Yu was powerless to help.

It was only then that he realized the timing didn't add up; hadn't Logic had his "epiphany" by the lakeside in winter?

Why was he about to send out the "curse" at the end of summer?

Then Jiang Yu thought that his appearance must have had some butterfly effect.

Baluo's Wallbreaking might have disrupted ETO's original Wallbreaking plans, leading to Tyler being Wallbroken ahead of time, and Logic starting his duties earlier as well.

Jiang Yu simply made inquiries about Logic's recent situation and decided not to disturb him further.

As for the preparations for hibernation, since he had already gone through the process once, the preparations were quite systematic.

First, he bade farewell to Yang Dong and Ding Yi, then left the test base to stay at home for a few days.

Then came the last few instructions for work, where Jiang Yu had Zhao Yun's team constantly discredit ETO, trying to deplete all of ETO's credibility.

But they had to gauge this carefully, to avoid causing a backlash in public sentiment.

Jiang Yu also instructed Bil's team to ensure proper planning; the tasks of 'Plan Zero' were to run in parallel with the 'Moon City Plan'.

As for the other teams, since there were no new developments, he didn't call the other team leaders over.

In the end, Jiang Yu once again entrusted the power to wake him up to Di Fengyi and Jiang Shiliu.

Should any of the project teams achieve a significant breakthrough, or if there were major changes in the international situation, they should wake him up.

If none of the above occurred, then he should be woken up in Earth Year twelve of the Crisis Era.

By then the research on nuclear fusion would be complete, Yang Dong's wedding would need to be scheduled, and Jiang Yu also wanted to see if he could secretly help Zhang Beihai.

Jiang Yu's hibernation process was rather low-key this time; he didn't let anyone know in advance. It was only after he had entered hibernation that an announcement was released to the public.

Upon first seeing this news, people discussed what new surprises the mysterious Wallfacer would bring to them upon awakening once more.

But soon, the heat of this topic faded, and only occasionally, when people spoke of the Wallfacer Project, did they remember those who were in hibernation.

...

Before him again was that boundless darkness; having had that experience before, Jiang Yu knew his consciousness was recovering.

Like the last time he awoke, Jiang Yu's hearing was the first sense to return.

This time, he wasn't in a hurry. When he was wheeled out of the thawing room, he kept his eyes closed and rested.

After doing a thorough examination, the doctor said by his bedside, "Mr. Jiang, welcome to the eleventh year of the Crisis Era."

"Your awakening was very successful."

Wait a minute!

Jiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes but could see nothing.

Why was it the eleventh year of the Crisis?

Had they woken him up ahead of time?

Jiang Yu quickly calmed himself down. If they had woken him up ahead of time, it meant that his plan had made a breakthrough, or that there had been a significant change in the world situation! The latter seemed unlikely; it was probably because of the former.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes again, contemplating which project might have achieved significant progress.

During the initial two-day recovery period, Jiang Yu still couldn't communicate smoothly with others; he had to patiently wait until after those two days for his questions to be answered.

Just like last time, he now had ample time to study the products in the Wallfacer's Shop.

To his disappointment, the deception points he had earned during this hibernation still weren't enough to purchase "Jupiter and Its Moons' Resource Distribution."

The required deception points for that product had doubled; it now needed ten million deception points.

Therefore, Jiang Yu turned his attention to the relatively unfamiliar Venus.

Venus could be called Earth's twin, only 5% smaller than Earth.

Strangely enough, its rotation was retrograde, and it took more than half an Earth Year to complete one rotation.

In other words, a day on Venus is equivalent to over two hundred Earth days.

Because Venus's atmosphere is too dense, the surface pressure is ninety times that of Earth's.

Circling around the model of Venus in his mind, Jiang Yu discovered that Venus was abundant in metal resources and even had several elements that he didn't quite remember.

If his hands had been nimble, Jiang Yu would have been itching to scratch his head. His chemistry grades in high school were mediocre, but he had some recollection of the periodic table.

He couldn't memorize it all, but Jiang Yu didn't remember "Lutetium" being an element in the periodic table!

He didn't dwell on it, thinking to ask someone who was good at chemistry later on whether new elements had been discovered recently.

Finally, having endured those two days, the first person permitted to enter the sickroom wasn't Jiang Yu's parents, but Di Fengyi.

Di Fengyi's weight gain seemed to have halted, and he didn't look much different from three years earlier.

He sat by Jiang Yu's bedside and said, "I'm sorry for awakening you ahead of time!

"There are two reasons for your awakening. One is that the biological group in the 'Green Pastures Plan' has achieved a major breakthrough!

"The other reason is that the conditions for executing 'Plan Zero' have been met."
