[Preliminary summary: "The sun disappeared" at 16:21 Beijing time on February 27, 2145 AD. Although there were warnings of this sudden disaster, the initial warning failed to take effect in time because it was too mysterious and complicated.
It wasn't until an engineer from Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration completed the analysis of these mysterious symbols that the disaster response mechanism was activated. In less than half a year, the whole world was like an engine being squeezed to the limit on a short-distance track.
All manpower and material resources have been invested in building underground shelter facilities, but even so... at least one billion people around the world will still be unable to receive shelter...
In the year when the sun disappeared, three major events occurred in human society.
The first major event was the New Midland riots, which directly caused at least eleven shelters in the New Midland area to be paralyzed, making the already severely damaged human society even worse.
The second incident happened a few months after the sun disappeared. The "warriors of the country" who had disappeared for decades suddenly appeared again and created a terrible terrorist attack. In this attack, people who were originally in the Pacific Rim
The six nuclear fusion units on the nuclear power system were destroyed, which directly caused the three underground shelters in New Tokyo to lose power supply. Although rescue teams rushed to the Wangye Ecological Zone, they only opened cold graves.
.
The third major event happened in space. Faced with this unprecedented catastrophe, mankind cannot sit still and wait for death. It must set out towards the sun to find out the secret behind the "disappearance of the sun". However, in the early implementation stage of the plan, all the Xinghan International Aeronautics and Space Administration
The No. 1 space station was destroyed, which directly caused the pace of human beings to reveal the secrets to be delayed again.
In addition to these big things, there are many small things happening on the earth.
Take the respective story lines of the protagonist team as an example. After Natsume and Momosawa Hanako participated in the rescue operation, they found Hanako's mother Liang Qiuru in New Tokyo City Shelter No. 1. Hanako chose to stay with her mother, while Natsume followed.
The large troops returned to Shelter No. 1 in Xiongan New Area.
The two of them are experiencing different lives... Hanako and her mother discovered the diary of Hanako Momosawa's father deep underground, and came into contact with the terrifying truth from the depths of the earth.
Natsume also encountered a serial murder case in Shelter No. 1 of Xiongan New Area, and the truth behind it is thought-provoking.
In space, the recovery team composed of Su Wanxia, Chu Xiaoming, and Shen Yinuo began to set off to the unknown star field, trying to bring home the two heroes Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen who were the first to discover that "the sun is about to disappear."
But then the three of them accidentally broke into the space created by the transcendent, and here they unexpectedly found Xian Qianhua and Yan Sichen. Later, the five of them broke into the Library of Origin while exploring the transcendent space, and in
Here we met an unexpected character - Qing Shui Huan, who seemed to have accidentally touched the mysterious truth. The five people were taken back to the strange "moon" by Qing Shui Huan and were given divinity there.
The five people who had gained divinity set out on their way home. They originally thought they could return to Earth smoothly, but found that the Earth they were once familiar with may no longer be there. So after some weighing, they decided to go to Mars temporarily.
The five people who arrived on Mars were trapped in a quagmire. Not only were they trapped on Mars, but there were also suspicions among the five people. Each of them also had a different "chemical reaction" with their own divinity.]
The original "Origin of Fire".
Scientific calculations show that humans have less than half a year to respond to this catastrophe.
If a comet was about to hit the earth, there would certainly not be a scene like today where the world's political differences are put aside and the world's elites gather together.
The Chinese are very sincere. They provided the temporarily established "Fenghuo" Council with a total of 17 items including "Controllable Nuclear Fusion" and "Artificial Intelligence Management Core Sinan 3" that can be used to deal with the upcoming crisis.
The national core technology of Doomsday Catastrophe.
New Midland and the Russians are not bad either. The former has the most advanced aviation engine technology in the world. Although this technology cannot temporarily solve the urgent need, it will play a vital role in the subsequent uncovering of the "disappearance of the sun" by mankind.
The Russians have a new type of "bomb" in their hands. They call it the "Katyusha Kiss". The name is beautiful and tempting, but it is indeed as powerful as a nuclear bomb. It is non-toxic and has no radioactive pollution.
, it was originally used as a military weapon of the Russians, but now, the Russians have used this technology to blast deep pits underground for shelter facilities!
Of course, in addition to the two core technologies, New Midland and Russia also provide many life-and-death biological and medical technologies, including "population bomb" and "human hibernation"...
The Masako government in New Tokyo, which experienced the sinking of Japan, came up with its best "grain" cultivation technology. This technology was not originally favored by the world. After all, in 2100, world food data showed that all mankind had successfully escaped from the epidemic.
The problem of hunger and food poverty has been eliminated. However, after the "disappearance of the sun" and the loss of surface food cultivation, mankind is destined to still face the problem of food shortage.
The "Sea Grain" cultivation technology developed by the New Tokyo Zhengxing Government can ensure that everyone entering the shelter has food. At the same time, the New Tokyo Zhengxing Government will also provide professional technical support to all shelters around the world.
The new European Union has also come up with its own special skills.
South Africa, which had been silent for more than a century, did not lag behind... In short, when the database was flooded with wisdom from all over the world, Shang Junxiao, the host of the "Beacon" Parliament, couldn't help but sigh: "If we could be like this earlier
How wonderful it would be..."
Remove barriers and build high walls! Establishing a unified joint response mechanism is the first topic of the "Beacon Council".
China, Russia, the New United Nations, and the New European Community have all expressed their stance, saying that they will show 100% sincerity in disaster response, and hope that all mankind will work together to face the disaster.
Big countries came forward, and representatives from small countries participating in the meeting also expressed their opinions. In the end, the first issue, which was originally thought to take a long time, was unanimously approved in less than twenty minutes.
The second topic is the establishment of shelters.
This topic is very professional and requires rigorous data and professional team building to give a perfect answer.
Therefore, the politicians in the venue voluntarily left the venue, a large number of experts and scholars entered the venue, and globally synchronized online conferences were also connected to the venue.
This issue lasted three days and three nights. During the seventy-two hours, no one said that they needed to rest or sleep. Many times, when they quarrel over a disagreement, they may still be chewing food. It is indeed unseemly, but
This made Shang Junxiao and other core members of the "Fenghuo" Council feel very excited.
Seventy-two hours later, the preliminary phase report came out.
A total of 200,000 shelters will be built around the world based on factors such as the population of each country and the current economic status of the region. Each shelter has a basic capacity of two million people. At the same time, the shelters must be built according to the baseline specifications, that is, there must be people in the shelters.
Independent controllable nuclear fusion energy supply facilities and independent ecological recycling facilities.
But half a year is still too short.
The report is an accurate figure based on reasonable calculations based on data provided by existing countries, and does not represent the final result.
At the same time, the primary disaster response report also proposed three subsidiary plans: a Pacific Rim nuclear power system, an Atlantic supply line, and an Arctic and Antarctic orbital emergency system.
As the name suggests, the Pacific Rim Nuclear Power System is to build additional nuclear power supply systems in the Pacific. They will provide multiple support functions including energy supply and food supply for countries around the Pacific Rim outside the refuge. According to the initial plan, China, Russia, Australia
, the New Zeland Federation will be responsible for the construction of 1,971 controllable nuclear fusion power generation units in the Western Pacific, while the New United States and the American Free Government will be responsible for the construction of 652 controllable nuclear fusion power generation units in the Eastern Pacific.
Construction of the unit.
The function of the Atlantic supply line is similar to that of the Pacific Rim Nuclear Power System, but it focuses more on the centralized evacuation effect. Judging from the locations of shelters on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, this supply line will connect 36,000 underground shelters along the entire line after completion.
Become one, so as to respond to each other and overcome difficulties together.
The North and South Pole orbital emergency system is the last subsidiary plan and the only alternative plan. However, it is indeed a key construction project related to whether mankind can fight back.
According to the original intention of the designer, the North and South Pole Orbit Emergency System is a backup plan considering that the "disappearance of the sun" may last for more than three years. This emergency orbit will become the final way for mankind to transfer and retain fire into space in the future. Therefore, it is also a backup plan for all affiliated
The most tragic construction project in the plan.
Before the end of the second issue, governments have begun to recruit personnel around the world to prepare for the start of the project, but before the official start of the project, there is still a more critical third issue that needs to be discussed.
"The disappearance of the sun" is an absolute disaster for mankind.
Therefore, in order to ensure the implementation of the response plan, it is necessary to ensure that the existing social order of mankind can steadily enter the state of disaster response. Fortunately, in the past century or so, human society, which has been plagued by disasters, has established a system accustomed to facing disasters.
The thinking system and psychological construction of disasters and the fight against disasters, so as long as they are handled properly, a smooth transition is not difficult.
But there is no guarantee that people with good intentions will make a fuss out of disasters.
Therefore, the core content of the third topic includes the internal detoxification plan of human society, the military security plan, etc.
After all, establishing a shelter requires multiple national-level core technologies such as the Russian "Katyusha" and the "controllable nuclear fusion" provided by the Chinese government. If these technologies are not monitored and guaranteed by powerful armed forces, they can easily turn into another disaster.
.
In this issue, politicians and the military have become the protagonists.
But their time is much less than that of the experts. The "Beacon Council" only gave them twelve hours.
In twelve hours, hundreds of thousands of orders were sent to the world from the first central axis of the headquarters of the "Beacon Fire" Parliament.
At the same time, the fourth issue has also begun to enter the discussion stage.
Compared with the first three topics, the fourth topic has much more time.
The protagonists of this conference are composed of the world's top physicists, astronomers, linguists, anthropologists, biologists, professionals in the aerospace field, and top talents in various special equipment manufacturing structures.
The topic they want to discuss is not how to respond to disasters, but how to solve them.
The "disappearance of the sun" has been confirmed by the Xinghan 1 space station, but what exactly broke into the solar system? Did they pass by or target the star that humans rely on for survival? How long will they stay in the solar system? Do humans have the ability to survive?
Opportunities to complete the third type of contact and resolve crises are the main topics of discussion at the meeting.
Everyone expresses his or her own opinions and has the same direction, all for the future of mankind.
The fourth issue lasted for a month, and one month later, the first phase plan was formed.
Humanity will send an advance team to complete contact with the thing that will cause the "disappearance of the sun" before it passes through Venus. The advance team is composed of elites selected from various countries. They all regard death as home and have absolute loyalty to human society.
This group of warriors will receive special training on Earth for one year. The training course is jointly formulated by the main participants of the fourth issue. It mainly involves crisis response, language communication, survival and return and other projects.
At the end of the meeting, Shang Junxiao, a core member of the "Fenghuo" Council, received two pieces of good news and three pieces of bad news.
The two good news are that the mass production of "Katyusha" is not a problem, and the implementation of the implosion pit plan is also very smooth. In addition, the global optical cable construction has been contracted by Su Corporation, so there is no need to worry about communication problems caused by the "sun disappearing" for too long
.
And the three bad news are... Although the "controllable nuclear fusion" technology is complete, it is possible to build a "controllable nuclear fusion" power generation unit that meets the specifications and can ensure the operation of the underground shelter for at least fifty years, but it is not like the "Katyusha"
It’s so easy to blow up a hole, but even if there are plenty of supplies, there is still a serious shortage of professional construction personnel!
Another bad news surrounding this issue is that the detoxification operation of New Midland Earth has discovered a group of terrorist organizations targeting "controlled nuclear fusion" and "Katyusha", and they are trying to target the builders
Make a fuss, and then turn the global joint effort to fight against the catastrophe into an even greater doomsday.
The last bad news, and the worst bad news, is that errors in statistical data from various countries directly led to deviations in the design of the primary stage plan.
Even if all 200,000 underground shelter facilities are completed, one billion people will still be left in the city, freezing to death in the dark.
Shang Junxiao almost vomited blood after learning these three pieces of bad news.
But he knew that he could not fail at this time, so he immediately convened a team to make changes to the plan and put forward new responses to various problems.
"Controllable nuclear fusion technology is very complete, and the lack of talent is indeed a big problem, but we don't have to build supporting controllable nuclear fusion facilities within half a year. We can first reduce energy consumption in the early stages of a disaster, and then cultivate a team of
We will create a batch of talents dedicated to serving controllable nuclear fusion, and gradually improve the initial goals in the underground shelter!"
These words came from an academician of the Academy of Engineering from China. The old man pointed out the problem and gave a plan, which immediately injected confidence into the disaster response team.
"If someone wants to make a fuss, let them do it! If human society doesn't even have this courage! Then there is no need to talk about fighting against the doomsday! Doesn't the New American League say that their soldiers are the best in the world? Then let's do it
Come out and fight! If you are afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, you are not afraid of being frozen to death when disaster strikes? What a joke!" A Russian officer solved the problem while drinking.
In the following months, the troops of the New American League began a bloody cleanup!
Is it a terrorist organization? Then let you go and repent before God first!
As for the last billion people.
This is indeed a difficult problem that no one dares to casually give a solution to.
It has long been expected that data from various countries will be inaccurate. The initial plan also reserved a certain amount of space, but the reserved space cannot accommodate these billion people.
And who dares to stand up and say that a billion people should stay outside the shelter?
Shang Junxiao finally handed over the problem to the governments of various countries...
Shang Junxiao no longer has the energy to pay attention to how the government will solve the problem.
…
"The Origin of Fire".
Debate over the final doomsday response plan.
The disagreement lies in why human civilization should be extended to other galaxies.
This disagreement is very abstract, but to put it more concretely...if all human beings must stay and wait to die, is it necessary for us to send the fire of human civilization out of the solar system for refuge?
Some scholars believe that human beings are an abstract and concrete species. The abstract one is our civilization, and the concrete one is our crude body. Our civilization can be preserved in many forms, and there is no need to use fire to launch it.
But some people believe that the evolution and greatness we humans seek is not just a greatness that sticks to reality, but a greatness that breaks through the perception of reality and has the courage to transcend.
Although we are still very fragile now, continuation will make us stronger!
Even if we are destroyed at this moment, at that moment and in the distant future, we still look forward to the burning of human civilization again.
The debate lasted for a long time, and all participants signed confidentiality agreements.
In Shang Junxiao's view, the significance of academics transcends the significance of practical results. Which doctrine we follow does not mean that another doctrine is worthless.
On the contrary, the reason why human beings are able to achieve today's glory depends on our courage to think and speak.
A catastrophe can kill billions or even billions of people.
But the human group has been exalted.
This is such a tragic, even ironic reality... But Shang Junxiao must force himself to accept this cruelty.
Maybe this is the price of progress.
Human beings cannot expect the earth to be gentle forever, nor can they expect the solar system to be peaceful forever, nor can they expect the universe to serve humans.
Human beings must become stronger, so strong that they can transcend the constraints of reality, material constraints, and even spiritual constraints.
This is the meaning of evolution, the meaning of which all stars will be eclipsed.
