Even though Woolf had retired, he still had some people's phone numbers. Some people even owed him favors in the past.
Now, Woolf had used all these favors in one go.
In the end, it was a failure.
Just like what he had said to Starbeck, no one would agree to such a project.
This meant that they had to give up their current lives and pay a huge amount of money.
Even so, it was far from enough.
They had to mobilize the remaining people in the world. They had to take away what little was left of their survival from their mouths. They also had to make these people work hard.
Under such a premise.
No one thought that this project would succeed.
In the end.
Woolf could only helplessly tell this news to Starbeck.
However, when Starbeck received the call, he was very calm.
"So it's like this? I know … "He only said in a low voice.
There was a deathly stillness that made people uneasy.
Even Woolf was a little quiet.
"I'm sorry." Woolf said.
"It's not your fault, Mr. Woolf. You've done your best. We've all done our best." Starbeck's voice was still dead.
In fact, when he met with Woolf last time, he had already guessed this result.
From the beginning, it was hard to accept.
Until now, he could only feel numb.
This was not the first time his hope was shattered. At his age, he really did not have the ability to struggle anymore.
After hanging up the phone.
Starbeck just sat there in a daze. He didn't think about anything and didn't do anything.
Until Dell's somewhat emotional voice came.
"Dad, they're here."
Stanbeck finally reacted. He raised his head and saw the two people behind Della.
Reid and Gu Yan.
"I'm sorry." When Starbeck saw them, his originally numb heart suddenly collapsed. He could not even stop himself from crying. He just kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry …"
They had given him such hope, such a miracle.
But in his case, in the case of his generation, which was already filled with grave sins to begin with, it was destroyed once again.
Starbeck wished he could die right now.
But, death was just an escape.
"You don't need to apologize." Reid said in a casual tone, "We didn't expect you to succeed. The reason why we let you try was because we wanted to know the reaction of the human higher-ups. Now, we know."
This kind of comforting words obviously had no effect at all.
The aged Stanbeck still lowered his head, crying like a child who had done something wrong but could not make up for it.
"I can only say that the result is better than what we expected." Gu Yan suddenly spoke. "Compared to what I showed you before, what you're showing us now is true hope."
These words caused Starbeck to raise his head in surprise.
They had all failed.
The global government rejected the reopening of the space migration project to save humanity.
Yet, he said that he had shown them hope?
"The Space Immigration Project was never the best choice. At least, it's not the best choice now." Reid sat on the sofa, leaned back, and crossed his legs. "Don't tell me you think that we, who have artificial intelligence, only have this kind of technology."
Stanbeck's eyes widened.
Her lips trembled.
It seemed like she wanted to say something, but there was some fear in her voice.
He could no longer experience the feeling of having his hopes dashed. He did not even dare to have any hope in his heart.
But, this time, Reid was going to give him true hope!
"Look at this plan." A tablet was handed over.
There was a line of words on the front.
— — Human civilization's new development city.
Based on the ecological city, supported by sterile, soilless, and high-yield plants, build a new development city with increasing productivity and science and technology. The goal is to have the industrial ability to build a space city within 50 years, and to have the technological ability to gradually improve and restore Earth's environment within 100 years …
This plan was a plan for human civilization to save itself within 100 years!
Stambeck's hand that was holding the tablet started to tremble again.
He was even more excited than when he saw the spaceship blueprint!
This was because this was not a whimsical plan. It even listed every step in detail, as well as the required investment and specific technology.
It was completely based on the current situation of human civilization!
"The, the technology listed in the plan …" Stanbeck raised his head and looked at Reid nervously and uneasily. He did not even have the courage to ask the rest of the question.
However, Reid said straightforwardly, "In terms of technology, we've already achieved it. The only thing that's bothering us now is manpower and investment. As you can see, the new development base of human civilization is not something that we can build without manpower and material resources."
"Manpower …" Stanbeck pursed his lips and looked at the plan in front of him again.
His muscles could not help but tense up.
He hated that he could not be a few decades younger.
After all, he had already done so much!
Could it be that these sinful people were not willing to give their all in order to make up for their mistakes?
"What do you need us to do?" Although Dell was also excited, compared to Stanbeck, she was more expectant and motivated. She even mustered up the courage to look at Gu Yan and said, "Since you are here, there must be something that we can help with."
"Yes!"
Starbeck finally came to his senses.
He suddenly raised his head.
"No matter what you want us to do, even if you want my life, as long as I can help you, I will do it with all my might!"
He had no other choice.
There was nothing he could do.
However, the two people in front of him, the Human Guardian Association behind them, must have a way to save human civilization. That was why they came here!
Right now, Starbeck could only firmly believe in it in order to break free from the despair that made it hard for him to breathe.
"We do have something that we need you to do." Gu Yan did not hold back. "I need your identity to support the propaganda according to our request. This war to save human civilization is, in fact, a war of spirit and will!"
Don't forget.
They came here in the first place because of Stanbeck's identity as the "representative of the Hope Faction".
Now, they had found their direction.
So the first step.
First, he had to gather the Hope Faction and the young people who also harbored hope in their hearts!
