Chapter 493 War

• Lu Chen’s proposal was a rather crazy one.
• To all the senior management personnel present at the meeting, Lu Chen was simply a madman at this very moment. There were only over 100,000 humans left, with only a military force of 20,000 men. However, Lu Chen wanted to challenge a planet to a war with these 20,000 soldiers. Proxima Centauri b’s population might not be as large as that of humans back when the latter were still on Earth, but even so, there had to be at least billions of them. The aliens on Proxima Centauri b could easily overpower them by sheer number alone. Furthermore, they were on board the Hope Spaceship. If one of the aliens’ nuclear bombs hit Hope, they would all be finished.
• Consequently, nobody spoke after Lu Chen finished his speech. Everyone remained silent, though they were conflicted deep down. If they left Proxima Centauri b, it would take them at least ten more years before they reached another habitable planet. Even though the Department of Science had developed genetic evolution pills that enabled humans to live longer than 150 years at present, ten years were still too long for humans that had an average lifespan of 150 years.
