The Science Fiction World of Xueba

After Yao Bingxia graduated from university two years ago, he did not continue to engage in the research of carbon nanomaterials, but directly entered the administrative department under the Science Committee to engage in some auxiliary scientific research management work.

She knew much more about the whole Wandering Earth project than ordinary people.

She understands the maliciousness and lethality of such rumors very well.

For all human beings, the past fifty years have been the darkest period since the history of human civilization. Everyone in the world is under heavy work and great pressure to survive.

All kinds of disasters that humans can think of or can't imagine come one after another, such as extreme climate, earthquake, tsunami, low temperature, asteroid impact, dungeon magma infiltration...

There is a sword of Damocles hanging above everyone's head, and death seems to be possible at any time.

Because of the solar helium flash crisis, this hostility has never found a suitable outlet.

Once the earth is out of the range of the helium flash of the sun, such rumors are used by people with intentions to spread, and it is likely to trigger a major turmoil that will sweep the world.

"Brother Lin, what are you going to do?"

Yao Bingxia is a little worried. Pang Xuelin is now one of the chairmen of the science committee under the coalition government. Once this kind of thing happens, he has no way to stay out of it.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are still three years before the earth is out of the range of the sun's helium flash. Whether it is me or the coalition government, we will make relevant preparations!"

"oh!"

Yao Bingxia nodded, but the worry on his face did not ease much.

She faintly felt that this crisis might not be as simple as Pang Xuelin said.

In the following week, Pang Xuelin inspected the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center of Jiangcheng University founded by him, met many old friends, and then took two days to go to Shanghai, which is still in the ice, with Yao Bingxia. worship relatives.

Afterwards, the two returned to City of Hope by special plane.

However, as soon as he arrived in Hope City, Pang Xuelin heard the bad news that Liu Xin was sick and hospitalized.

So as soon as they got off the plane, Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia rushed to the hospital to visit Liu Xin.

Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia walked into the ward together, and saw Seedorf, the chief executive of the coalition government, sitting beside the hospital bed, chatting with Liu Xin.

Seedorf is also in his early seventies, eight years younger than Liu Xin. He and Liu Xin have been partners for more than 20 years. They can be regarded as old friends for many years, and they have a close relationship in private.

Liu Xin seemed to be in good spirits. Pang Xuelin had already asked the doctor before that the old man was just an ordinary infection. If he was treated carefully, the problem would not be serious.

It's just that the old man is nearly eighty years old. After this infection, I'm afraid he won't be able to work as hard as before.

Seeing Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia coming in, Liu Xin looked very happy, and talked with Yao Bingxia.

Liu Xin was married once when he was young, but divorced his wife because of his personality. He never married and left no offspring.

For Pang Xuelin and Yao Bingxia, he had long regarded them as his nephews, and even got closer to Yao Bingxia than to Pang Xuelin.

In his heart, Pang Xuelin is like his successor, while Yao Bingxia is more like his granddaughter.

Seeing Liu Xin chatting happily with Yao Bingxia, Pang Xuelin walked up to Seedorf and said, "Mr. Seedorf, there is something I want to talk to you about."

Seedorf nodded, and followed Pang Xuelin out of the ward to the balcony outside.

Seedorf said with a smile: "Little Pang, how does it feel to go back to your hometown this time? You should have met a lot of old friends, right?"

Pang Xuelin nodded and said: "They are all doing well, and I am very happy to go back this time. By the way, Mr. Seedorf, this time I was in Jiangcheng and saw some unharmonious scenes..."

Pang Xuelin told Seedorf about the parade, but Seedorf didn't have any strange expressions on his face.

He nodded and said: "I already know about this. The intelligence agencies are investigating the mastermind behind the scenes. In fact, such parades not only happen in Jiangcheng, but also all over the world. The situation in Greater China is relatively good!"

Pang Xuelin frowned: "Are these parades and rumors planned by the spaceship faction behind the scenes?"

Seedorf shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet, as you know, the only dungeons directly under the coalition government are City of Hope and the dungeons and space fleets under the 2,000 equatorial planetary engines, Greater China, Europe, and North America. The underground cities in the district are actually controlled by the major districts. They are in a semi-autonomous state and have independent military power. Especially the North American district, which is the base camp of the spaceship faction, is also one of the areas with the greatest opposition to the Wandering Earth plan. At that time, Liu and Kazuo Nakata After the Wandering Earth Project was proposed, there was a lot of controversy in the UN Security Council. China supported the Wandering Earth Project, and the United States supported the Spaceship Project. Later, the US Spaceship Project was exposed, and only those with assets of more than 30 million US dollars were eligible to buy tickets. In North America Caused large-scale riots, the U.S. government had to bow its head and join the Wandering Earth Project. In the first 20 or 30 years of the Wandering Earth Project, the spaceship faction has been very active, but it has gradually quieted down in the past two years. We do not rule out this parade There is a possibility that the spaceship faction is behind the scenes. It's just now..."

Seedorf did not continue to speak, but looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance and was stunned.

The sky simulated by the holographic display gives people an illusory sense of security.

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment, then said: "Mr. Seedorf, has the coalition government prepared for global riots after the earth escapes the helium flash of the sun?"

Seedorf turned around and looked at Pang Xuelin with a strange expression in his eyes.

He said indifferently: "Little Pang, do you know why Liu is still holding the post of Secretary-General of the Science Committee? In fact, with your current prestige, even if you become the Secretary-General of the Science Committee, there will not be much opposition .”

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm not quite sure about this."

Seedorf smiled and sighed: "The Wandering Earth Project will last for 2,500 years, a full hundred generations, and now only three generations have passed, and it will be less than a hundred years. Difficulties and dangers await us. In such a long time, it is almost a luxury to keep human beings rational forever. How many people have we sacrificed for the Wandering Earth project in these years? Just for the thirty years of building planetary engines, The number of accidental deaths due to various reasons exceeds 100 million. Not to mention, in order to build planetary engines, all human beings are saving money, giving up all spiritual entertainment, and investing countless resources and energy in planetary engines. Even suffering It’s nothing to be tired. After the earth set sail, how many disasters have we experienced? In the fifteen years since the earth set sail, the total number of people who died due to various disasters exceeded 300 million... Aren’t you and Xiaoxia one of the survivors of the Jiangcheng earthquake? One? For so many years, the hearts of living people have accumulated a hostility, and now this hostility is close to the limit, waiting for a suitable time to erupt..."

Pang Xuelin frowned and said, "Could it be that we can't suppress this hostility?"

Seedorf shook his head and said: "The general trend of history is mighty, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. Even if we suppress this hostility for a while, until the sun helium flashes out, the hostility will not disappear, it will still exist , will only continue to erupt at the next point in time! The coalition government is now sitting on the crater, and we are powerless to fight against this general trend, so we can only follow the trend and let this general trend play its true role. Therefore, this hostility , it is best to vent it before the solar helium flash erupts. In this way, the blood of the victim can really wake up future generations after the solar helium flash erupts! Da Liu and I are old, and our lives are not worth much. If it can be used to wake up future generations of human beings, it is a worthy death. In fact, most of the steadfast Earth faction inside the coalition government have made such preparations. We are all idealists. If we don’t have enough ideals, we can’t stick to it. Many years...Xiao Pang, you are different from us. You are still young. You are a new-age human being born after the Wandering Earth plan. Now you have a high prestige among human beings. What will people do to you! After the chaos, great governance is needed. The reason why Liu holds the position of Secretary-General of the Science Committee is that he hopes that after the chaos, you can stand up, take over the Science Committee, and redirect human beings to devote their energies to Go to the Wandering Earth Project..."

After saying these words, Seedorf shook his head, turned and returned to the ward.

Pang Xuelin stood there dumbfounded, an unprecedented sense of desolation swept over his body.

In his eyes, Seedorf's stooped figure also became taller than ever before.

He never thought that not only Liu Xin, Seedorf, but even many high-level leaders of the coalition government have seen the hidden crisis of human beings, and they are actually ready to sacrifice.

"No, you are all heroes of mankind! If a civilization needs to sacrifice their heroes to survive, then what is the meaning of this civilization in the universe!"

Pang Xuelin looked at Seedorf's back and muttered to himself.
