The high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom received information from Zhao Chen that the Zerg would invade in three years.

Instead of panicking, everyone began to discuss the next steps.

"According to our original plan."

Over the next three years, we will lead Dragon Star into the interstellar era.

But now the Zerg invasion is imminent.

"If we invest a lot of time and resources in scientific research and interstellar development, it will inevitably reduce our military budget," Marshal Chu Xuan said with a serious expression.

"And there's another important point."

"Should we announce this news to the public?" Barbara's secretary interjected.

A brief silence fell over everyone.

The meeting lasted for more than ten hours, with several interruptions.

The moment the final meeting ended.

The Kingdom of Xiaolong immediately notified the leaders of the other nine countries in the Upper House of the Dragon Star Alliance to arrive in the Kingdom of Xiaolong within three days for a meeting.

The leaders of these nine countries realized something was amiss with such a sudden meeting.

Without saying a word, they boarded a private jet and arrived in the Kingdom of Xiaolong.

The moment the plane landed.

These nine leaders were taken directly to Zhao Chen's official residence.

The meeting was held directly in the conference room.

This meeting was quite long.

The two meetings took about a week in total.

It changed the fate of Longxing for the next three years.

The meeting has ended.

The leaders returned to their hotels in their own cars.

Zhao Chen walked out of his office, stood on the open-air balcony, and looked at the night sky.

At this moment, Barbara's secretary came out, holding the organized documents in her hand.

Seeing Zhao Chen standing there in a daze, Secretary Barbara did not disturb him immediately.

A few minutes later.

Zhao Chen asked, "Is everything ready?"

"Yes, the plans decided in the two meetings have been compiled."

"Say the important things."

Secretary Barbara opened the document and said, "In response to this future crisis, for the sake of secrecy, we have named it 'Project Bug'."

The original development plan for the first year and the following three years was revised.

This would significantly reduce the amount of funding and time previously allocated to the interplanetary program.

The focus shifted to developing mecha technology, ground-based orbital defense weapons, and the construction of satellite bases.

The goal is to establish a triple defense network on the ground, in near-Earth orbit, and via satellites on Longxing within three years.

Make sure you are prepared to deal with any issues before the next bug-related project begins.

In addition, regarding the announcement of the Bug Project.

We have decided to release the information in stages.

In the first year, only the top officials of the ten countries in the upper house knew about this news, and it was kept absolutely secret from the outside world.

We will also be releasing some online works, videos, and games related to the Zerg.

The existence of the Zerg was made familiar to everyone through these literary and entertainment works.

The following year, this information will be declassified to all high-ranking officials in the country, while remaining confidential to the general public.

Considering the potential risk of leaks at this stage, we prepared a contingency plan in advance.

In the third year, we will officially announce Project Zerg and inform everyone that we have predicted an impending crisis for the Zerg.

We announced a series of plans we had prepared to calm public sentiment.

At the same time, it is necessary to stabilize social order, strengthen the crackdown on extremist forces, and prevent an atmosphere of fear, surrender, and riots.

Barbara's secretary gave a brief overview of the preparations for the next three years.

He paused for a moment.

Secretary Barbara added, "In addition, for the part of our interplanetary program that we will retain, we will launch telescope satellites."

The purpose is to see interstellar civilizations on the other side of a star.

Only by discovering the enemy early and ascertaining their level of civilization can we prepare accordingly.

Zhao Chen nodded.

With many hands make light work, and in just one week, the development trajectory for the next three years has been marked out.

"Let's proceed according to the plan you've set out."

Three years.

"That's enough for us to prepare." Zhao Chen raised his head and looked at the night sky.

Whether this is a trial or not.

This land beneath their feet is protected by their Dragon King Kingdom, and they will never allow anyone to lay a finger on it.

——————

In a car.

"Brother, what do you think the Zerg look like?"

"You've already seen those pictures and texts, haven't you?"

"No picture or text document can compare to the real appearance of the Zerg."

"..."

"Brother, do you think shooting insects will be effective?"

"Brother, do you think these insects can fly?"

"Brother, do you think these bugs could grow to the size of a small mountain?"

Phoenix covered his face as he watched his sister chattering away beside him.

If I had known, I wouldn't have ridden in the same car as her.

——————

On the other side, a car drove into the city of the Dragon King Kingdom.

We stopped at a food street.

Queen Nancy stepped down dressed in casual clothes, accompanied only by a female bodyguard.

Because of the security level of the Dragon Kingdom, they are no longer as vigilant as they were when they first arrived.

It's really safe here.

Surveillance cameras have appeared on the streets.

This has reduced the crime rate within the Kingdom of Wraiths by several times.

Approaching the bustling food street.

Queen Nancy soon spotted a familiar figure waving at her.

"XiXi!" It was the pregnant woman whom Queen Nancy had met two years ago.

After that meeting, the two remained in contact.

Every time Queen Nancy visits the Kingdom of Wraith Dragons, she invites him out for a delicious meal.

The pregnant woman's belly was already flat, and she was holding the hand of a two-year-old girl.

It's pink and cute.

"Let godmother see our little girl." Queen Nancy affectionately picked up the little girl and kissed her on the cheek.

The little girl also liked her godmother very much and hugged her neck.

"You've come at the perfect time."

The dishes I ordered are almost all served.

"Blue crabs, crayfish, and grilled pork with thick, oily edges." Huang Min distributed bowls and chopsticks to the two of them.

The female bodyguard didn't stand on ceremony; she sat down next to him and tore off the plastic film from the bowls and chopsticks.

"Why did you come all of a sudden?"

"Wasn't the last time you came three months ago?" Huang Min took her daughter from Queen Nancy's arms. "Don't bother your godmother. It's a rare opportunity for her to come. Let her sit down and enjoy the food."

"Something came up, so I came here."

"Isn't this a perfect opportunity to invite you out for a late-night snack?" Queen Nancy peeled open a crayfish and skillfully ate the meat inside.

It's estimated that no one in the Nancy Empire would ever imagine that the Nancy Empress, whom they consider to be high and mighty, is now sitting here at a roadside stall, eating crayfish and even sucking on the crayfish heads.

He had the air of a gourmand.

"It's all your fault."

"I think I'll gain another two pounds tomorrow," Huang Min said, but her hands didn't stop moving at all.

Compared to the delicious food and friends in front of me, I'll worry about gaining weight later.

Can't we just consider losing weight later?

Enjoying the delicious food, watching the little girl blinking and staring at the food, I handed her some food that she could eat.

Such a wonderful atmosphere.

This reminded Queen Nancy of the crisis that would occur three years later.

No matter what, we must get everyone through this crisis.

This wonderful life is just beginning.

Children like Nannan haven't even had a proper look at the world before them!

Queen Nancy clenched her fists.

——————

The first year of the Bug Project.

The resources and personnel of the other nine countries in the Upper House will be unconditionally allocated by the Kingdom of the Wraith.

In that year, the Dragon Kingdom also launched a number of projects at once.

Many of them are related to weapons and equipment.

The debut of the first man-made mecha amazed many people.

Meanwhile, the first phase of the space station was officially completed at the end of the year, thanks to four rocket launches in a single month.

From that moment on, the people of Longxing began to live in the outer space of Longxing.

The following year.

Various types of mechs began to appear, including civilian and industrial versions.

However, opinions among the public regarding whether mecha as a weapon is worth spending so much time and resources researching have always been divided.

Some people believe that the development of mechs as a weapon system has gone completely astray, and that we should continue to develop weapons such as airplanes, tanks, and artillery.

Some people, however, believe that mechs are the future.

The space station in the sky was also fully completed that year, and could accommodate at least three hundred people working on it at the same time.

On average, two rockets are launched from the ground-based rocket launch site every day!

at the same time.

The three moons surrounding Dragon Star were also officially announced to be landed by the Dragon Star people in that year.

The event was broadcast live worldwide on the day of the login.

The first footprint, the first flag.

Then, satellite bases were built on these three satellites.

Over the past two years, various interstellar topics have emerged.

Various types of literary works have also emerged in an endless stream.

Interstellar travel, extraterrestrial civilizations, Zerg, aliens—these have become commonplace.

Some drinks have insect patterns on them, and some TV dramas also feature related content.

Even a large portion of the cartoons that children watch are related to insects.

From an outsider's perspective, this may just be a passing fad.

But all of this began to change at a Dragon Kingdom press conference at the beginning of the third year.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense of the Dragon Kingdom officially announced this.

The Dragon Kingdom has detected suspected Zerg combat units that will approach Dragon Star in a year.

In the coming period, Longxing will enter a state of full combat readiness at level two, and everything will be prepared to fight against the Zerg.

Almost exactly ten minutes after that.

Spokespersons for the defense ministries of the other nine countries in the Dragon Star Alliance's upper house also announced the matter.

Over the next day, all the countries in the Dragon Star Alliance came forward and made the same statement.

For a moment, the entire Dragon Star seemed to be filled with a sense that disaster was about to strike.

At the beginning, there was some panic, and some negative comments appeared online.

However, because each country was well prepared.

Even before this information was released, special forces were prepared in cities across the country, specifically to incite public opinion.

It has effectively stabilized social order.

In addition, previous literary works have made people fear the existence of the Zerg, but not completely unfamiliar with them.

In the following week, the Kingdom of Wraith Dragons successively announced the details of the Bug Project and held a military parade in the Kingdom of Wraith Dragons' capital city, which was broadcast live worldwide.

This allowed everyone to see the advanced weaponry that the Dragon Kingdom now possesses.

Wuzu quadruped combat mech, Wuzu bipedal combat mech.

There are also transformable flying mechs, as well as various anti-aircraft weapons, and so on.

When they saw these weapons appear, everyone felt much more at ease.

And within this year.

Because the news has already been announced.

Therefore, all preparations were made public.

Underground shelters, bunkers, fortresses, and anti-aircraft weapons began to be built in various places.

At the same time, they stockpiled large amounts of food resources and grains.

They publicly claimed that the food they had stockpiled was enough to feed the people on Dragon Star for five years!

With such comprehensive preparations, everyone's sense of crisis has been greatly reduced.

All have begun full-scale preparations for war.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and only three months remain.

Zhao Chen was in his office.

Looking at Secretary Barbara's latest report.

"All ten carrier strike groups have completed the latest upgrades and are equipped with the latest weapons."

In addition, we have also formed the Kowloon Mech Legion, which is divided into nine dragon regiments and deployed to various locations on Dragon Star.

All of them are equipped with mecha gear, so if any defense line is breached, the Kowloon Mecha Legion can reinforce the battlefield at any time.

The ground defense positions in various cities are now 90% complete.

It can be completed within three months.

In low Earth orbit.

We launched 998 combat satellites, each equipped with close-in weapon systems (CIWS) to intercept incoming Zerg attacks.

On each of the three satellites, we established three interstellar fortresses, each garrisoned with three thousand people and five hundred interstellar combat mechs.

These form our defensive line of defense against the Zerg!

After hearing all this...

Zhao Chen stared at the sand table in front of him that covered the entire Dragon Star.

"Three months..."

In this crisis.

In fact, they are very passive.

Because they had no idea what level of crisis the Zerg crisis was coming at.

Is it a T1 or T2 swarm?

And quantity.

Is it several thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, or possibly more?

They knew nothing about this information.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing.

"The final deadline is getting closer and closer."

We must not let our guard down at this time.

We must be especially careful about what's inside our own ranks.

Recently, there was a report about a cult that worships Zerg swarms.

Investigate thoroughly and clean up completely.

We absolutely cannot allow our backyard to catch fire at a time like this!

"yes!"

The next three months.

The atmosphere in the various cities on Dragon Star grew increasingly somber.

People walking on the street will occasionally look up at the sky.

It seemed as if they were waiting for something to come.

"Mommy, when is my godmother coming to visit me?" Five-year-old Nannan asked curiously, holding her mother's hand.
