Chapter 879(1/2)
The school is not too far from the city, and it took Roy and Julia less than five minutes to get there.
Although the school is free, you must pass a special review if you want to study here.
At the entrance to the school, four burly and serious bodyguards stood on both sides. These people were the law enforcement team of the Earth Defense Bureau.
At this time, there were already long queues in front of the door, and the students were waiting to pass the safety inspection to enter the school.
Suddenly, the large screen hanging on the wall lit up, and a familiar figure appeared on the screen, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, hey, it's Professor Li Mo, and the one on the big screen is Professor Li Mo!"
"So, let me see."
"It's really Professor Li Mo!!"
The students cheered for Li Mo's appearance on the big screen.
"Everyone is quiet!" Li Mo shouted on the screen, "All the people of human civilization, facing the threat of alien spacecraft, and at the moment of life and death of our civilization, there have been major differences between us regarding the resolution of this crisis. In order to resolve this difference, our Earth Defense Bureau decided to adopt a global voting method. Then, professionals will explain to you the reasons and detailed rules of the voting. I hope you can pay attention to this voting, because this voting may be related to the survival of our human beings."
Listening to Professor Li Mo's words on the screen, everyone's expressions immediately became solemn, as if they were facing a catastrophe immediately.
Then, a staff member appeared on the big screen and explained to them the causes and consequences of voting and the options for voting.
1. Representatives agree to form a special space fleet composed of the Earth Defense Agency to attack alien spacecraft located in Uranus.
2. The representatives agree to do their best to develop genetic agents to cultivate extraordinary human beings.
...
Each human can only vote for one vote, and after voting, the final choice will be made based on its own voting results.
Most of these humans will choose the first solution. After all, in their eyes, the chances of successful development of genetic drugs are really limited. If the entire human civilization invests all resources in research and development, but fails, humans can only have one way to perish.
But there are still a small number of people who choose 2. After all, people always have to fight to know success or failure. Even if they succeed, humans will sacrifice less.
Ya looked at each other and found that the other party's faces were very serious, and obviously knew the heavyweight nature of this game.
"What should I do?" Julia asked.
"Go to vote first." Roy agreed.
Julia nodded in agreement with Roy's proposal, and the two walked towards the big screen.
"Please show your contact information and ID."
Roy handed over a note with his email address and contact information printed on it.
After taking the note, the staff in charge of the registration outlined the email address with a pen and drew a circle with the ballpoint pen in their hand.
After completing the registration work, the staff took out a black suitcase from under the table, and after opening it, it contained a silver-white intelligent robot.
The robot's model is exactly the same as that of ordinary robots, but it is clearer, especially in the eyes, there is a red and blue LCD screen, which shows the voting results.
After seeing Roy's voting results, the robot started its scanning instrument according to the program. The scanning was soon over. The robot said, "Please show your ID."
Roy took out his ID card and household registration card and handed it over to the robot.
After Roy and Julia showed their IDs, the robot immediately debugged the machine, took them in and sat down to rest.
Roy found that in addition to monitoring, this voting system can also collect the results of student voting, and it is also live broadcast, which is extremely developed in high-tech.
At this time, a man in a suit pushed the door and walked in. He looked at the surrounding environment, then walked to the other end of the big screen, and said to the camera: "Dear customers, welcome to watch the voting conference organized by the Earth Defense Bureau. First, on behalf of the Earth Defense Bureau, I would like to congratulate you on the start of the new semester. Now I will briefly introduce the voting process..."
After the man explained the voting process, an option popped up on the other side of the big screen - [Please confirm].
The man continued, "Please choose the second option."
After confirming the selection of the second solution, the robot immediately manipulated the selection of the voting results.
The result was chosen by the student vote—the choice of representatives to agree or oppose sending space fleets to deal with hostile alien spacecraft.
"Next, there are students who invite our option No. 1 to participate in the voting." After the man finished speaking, a student stood up.
His face was a little nervous, but he still straightened his chest strongly, walked towards the rostrum, then walked to the big screen, and chose to agree.
"Congratulations, the first student!"
Then the second place, the third place...the more than 100th students who chose to agree went up and chose to vote.
Then, the vote result popped up on the screen, and a total of 100 people chose to agree.
"Now please the 101th student." Then another girl stood up.
She took a deep breath and plucked up her courage and said, "I, I abstain from the vote!"
Her voice was very light, but she was confident.
Voting results appeared on the big screen again, and the number of people who chose to abstain was 1.
The girl's eyes dimmed and she lowered her head.
....
The voting atmosphere was very solemn, and all the students in the hall were silent, leaving only the sound of the hourglass of the voting dripping from water drops.
Soon, the hourglass stopped dripping, and the final result was released. The vote was in favor of the special space fleet formed by the Earth Defense Agency, and the option to attack the alien spacecraft located in Uranus had an absolute advantage.
...
Of course, Roy and Julia both invested in option 2. They were in a bad mood on the way back.
"Roy, why do you think everyone agrees to organize a space fleet to attack even though they know they can't defeat the alien spacecraft?" Julia couldn't help but complain, "Aren't you afraid of being wiped out?"
Roy shook his head and said, "Who knows? Maybe those old antiques are thinking about buying time for humans. After all, although those spacecraft are powerful, they are not impeccable, and we are not without a chance of winning, but..."
"It's just something?" Julia asked hurriedly.
"Nothing." Roy sighed, "I'll explain it carefully to you after I get back."
As soon as the two returned to their residence, they found a person standing at the door.
This person is about the same age as Roy. He has long brown curly hair, a well-proportioned figure, a gentle facial features, and a young man wearing a white shirt and jeans. He looks very sunny.
Roy and Julia were both stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that the young man was waiting at the door.
"Hi." He smiled and said hello, "You are Roy. I heard about you very early. When I saw you today, I was as handsome as the rumor."
Roy smiled politely: "Hello, my name is Roy."
"I'm Allen Swaston." The young man stretched out his right hand and said, "Please take care of him for the first time."
Roy shook his hand and said, "Hello, is there anything you need to contact me?"
"Well, it's about the last time I invited you to join my club, and I think I have to talk to you." Allen said, "If you want to come, I'll give you a free house to you, you can think about it."
Roy was stunned for a moment. Two months ago, this Allen Swaston had asked them for hope that they could join a club called New Humans.
After learning about the details of the club, Roy refused without hesitation because the New Human Club advocated separation from the management of the Earth Defense Bureau.
In Allen Swaston's view, the Earth Defense Agency is completely an evil organization. Under the leadership of Professor Li Mo, it not only did not eliminate the appearance of the spacecraft, but instead took over the power that originally belonged to North Americans.
Take Allen Swaston for example. Before Yueyue fell, he was the son of a congressman and lived a superior life. When he went out, he was a luxury car bodyguard. He had more than twenty girlfriends alone. It can be said that he came to this world to enjoy it, but Yueyue changed everything. With the chaos in North America and the intervention of the Earth Defense Bureau, Allen Swaston's father's congressman was also deprived of his identity, and the Allen Swaston family lost a lot of money.
Of course, Allen Swaston is much richer than the general public. He used the hidden resources to recruit mercenaries in private, and soon became one of the most powerful families in Crescent City.
However, he was not satisfied. He believed that only by completely driving the Earth Defense Agency out of North America could the family return to its former glory and regain control of the North American region.
Roy and Julia certainly did not agree with Allen Swaston's statement that after the fall of the moon, they could survive the chaos with the free supplies from the Earth Defense Bureau and maintaining order.
They can't do anything to make them attack the Earth Defense Bureau with grudges.
At this time, Julia suddenly asked, "By the way, Allen, you just said you are the chairman of the club, what do we call you?"
"I am a shareholder of the club, and I can also call me the 'president'," Allen said.
Julia frowned, as if thinking about something.
After a few seconds, she said as if she had made up her mind: "Allen, we can join your club."
Roy was startled when he heard her words. He stared at Julia with wide eyes and said, "Julia?"
"Don't worry, Roy." Julia patted Roy on the shoulder and comforted him, "Since we have promised you, we will not go back on our word, and..."
Julia looked up at the ceiling: "And this thing needs a suitable opportunity, you know, it's too difficult for us ordinary people to enter the New Human Club."
Allen showed a happy expression: "It's so good. But..." He looked around, "It's not convenient to speak here now."
The three of them exchanged contact information while walking upstairs.
“My contact information is…” Allen said, “email.”
"Okay." Roy replied.
...
After Allen Swaston left, Roy and Julia returned to the room. Roy carefully closed the door, then covered the window, and finally walked to Julia and asked, "Why did you agree to join the New Human Club? You know that this is an evil club. Their existence is to attack the Earth Defense Bureau and to destroy humans, they finally stabilize the situation."
"Yes, I know this, Roy." Julia sat on the edge of the bed, "but because of this, we have to participate in it, so that we can save the earth."
Roy stared at Julia and asked, "Save the Earth? Julia, you're crazy. Have you forgotten the pain that Moonfall brought us last time?"
"We have no way out!" Julia said. "Roy, think about it, if we join the New Human Club, we will be able to see their conspiracy in advance, so that we can report their conspiracy to the Earth Defense Agency!"
"But, do you know how we should report the conspiracy to the Earth Defense Agency?" Roy questioned. "We don't have any contact information for the Earth Defense Agency. As for the email address published online, do you believe it's safe?"
