“Alright, let’s study these two issues then,” He Xingzhou said.
He first learned about the current “Flood Dragon Deep Diving Device.” The Flood Dragon Deep Diving Device was capable of manned dives into ocean trenches over ten kilometers deep.
Its method of surfacing involved discarding disposable iron weights. Before descending, it loaded enough iron blocks to sink slowly.
When it was time to surface, these disposable iron blocks were discarded one by one to decrease mass, allowing it to begin a slow ascent.
The reason it didn’t use a submarine’s water intake and ejection method was that the rapid ascent would mean the diving device’s shell could not withstand the deep-sea pressure.
*”Fast descent and ascent hinge on whether the material can withstand the pressure!”*

*”The water pressure at ten thousand meters deep is equivalent to the pressure of two thousand African elephants standing on a person’s back!”* He Xingzhou pondered, *”Even with our current special titanium alloy, we can barely hold it off.”*
*”If we adopt the submarine-style water intake and ejection floating method, the rise and descent would be too rapid, and the shell material would not be sufficient to resist.”*
He Xingzhou opened the Quantum Light Computer’s technology tree, found the materials category, and located a material capable of high-strength pressure resistance.
“Nanometer-level buoyancy ceramics, materials at the nanometer scale with high pressure resistance, strong against corrosion, and low density, suitable for deep-sea exploration and space exploration!”
“Unlocking it requires a hundred thousand energy units.”
He Xingzhou immediately unlocked the nanometer-level buoyancy ceramics material technology. This material could be used to manufacture the deep diving device’s shell and core cabin, providing some buoyancy as well.
“With it, we can construct ballast water tanks for the deep diving device, assist with a propulsion system for rapid descent or ascent.”
He Xingzhou immediately sent the relevant nanometer-level buoyancy ceramics data to the research and development team, instructing them to start manufacturing.
Additionally, he also needed to research and improve the propulsion system.
Faced with the same issue as before, the propulsion system also needed to withstand immense pressure.
Especially in the deep sea, the external high-pressure water would impact the functioning of the propulsion system. If the internal and external pressure was unequal, the propeller could easily break.
He Xingzhou spent two hundred thousand energy units to unlock technology related to deep-sea propulsion systems.
The deep-sea propeller had multiple methods, and the most suitable for the deep diving device should be the liquid non-pressure resistant propulsion type.
Its entire propulsion system was submerged in insulated water, so the internal and external pressure of the propeller was the same as outside the deep sea. Then, through the power device, it would propel, ensuring the deep diving device could navigate smoothly in the deep sea.
“Let’s first design a deep-sea propeller!” He Xingzhou called out to Luming, and a three-dimensional holographic projection screen appeared in front of him.
Constant breakthroughs in holographic technology and other intelligent product technologies meant that any new product was always adopted first by the Xuanwu Plan project team.
“First, design the pressure system,” He Xingzhou began simulating and constructing on the three-dimensional projection, completing the design task quickly using both hand gestures and voice commands.
…
In Shen Zhou, the highest-level conference hall.
The top leaders gathered, possessing the highest authority in matters. They came from all over the country to discuss an issue that concerned everyone and the entire world, humanity at large!
The Xuanwu Executive Officer Qin Peng and Kong Qing were also among them.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I have told you about the Zerg crisis and our Xuanwu Executive Officer’s judgment,” Qin Peng said, “Our judgment is that the Zerg crisis has reached an imminent point!”
Kong Qing spoke, “Leaders, after rigorous analysis and assessment by all academician members of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, we believe it is imperative to announce the Xuanwu Plan immediately!”
“And then put the entire nation into a Level 1 combat readiness state!”
“Mobilize all the nation’s factories to produce war weapons and wartime supplies!”
“Deploy construction teams nationwide to fully build the Steel Great Wall and the Xuanwu Base!”
Qin Peng also said, “We have also established corresponding military strategies, and as per our projections, we need to expand our military immediately!”
*”The crisis has come to this point!”* the top leaders contemplated.
Kong Qing continued, “Initially, we estimated the Zerg crisis would take at least ten years to fully erupt. But we underestimated their capability and intelligence!”
“Massive numbers of mutant creatures are migrating to the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, very close to our maritime territory!”
“We have every reason to believe they’re stockpiling their strength! If we don’t respond now, it might be too late when the time comes!”
“In this regard, we naturally trust your judgment.” The leaders had read the reports, knowing Kong Qing was not exaggerating.
“How much time do we have?” someone asked.
“At most two months! At least one month!” Qin Peng stated, “By the time Comrade He Xingzhou’s Deep Sea Detector is complete, it will be almost that time.”
“This matter must be handled with care!”
*”Even though we’d been prepared for a long time, when the moment truly arrived, it was still so difficult to decide!”*
*”We can’t wait any longer! Look at other places, they now claim mutant creatures are harmless, they are dying a slow death! We can’t be like them. For the safety of all citizens, even if facing the greatest pressure from around the world, this decision must be made!”*
“Let’s vote! Raise your hand if you agree!”
The attendees began to vote, with Qin Peng and Kong Qing raising their hands first. Soon, another top leader raised a hand, and one by one, all hands eventually went up.
The leader at the front stood up and solemnly said, “Since everyone agrees, I announce the result of this meeting is unanimously passed! We will announce the Zerg crisis to all citizens, all regions, and all humanity!”
