In July 2140, at the Global Co-Prosperity System Conference, an unofficial survey report submitted by China showed that there are still 70 million people in the world in extreme poverty, and another 35 million have been displaced due to war or natural disasters.
Home, wandering overseas.
Every year, the combined military expenditures of all countries are as high as 9.66 trillion U.S. dollars, and these expenditures are 2.3 times the total global investment in education, poverty alleviation, medical care, people's livelihood projects, scientific research, and aerospace.
Therefore, this sentence is used at the end of this research report to describe the mood of the research team.
“Since World War II, the total number of days of global peace has been less than one month, and an average of 70 billion bullets are used in wars, terrorist attacks, and various riots every year... Our internal friction is so severe that we are still stuck in World War II.
Under the afterglow of the century after the end...the real 'golden age' is far away...perhaps this generation can continue to look forward to a better future, but if we cannot eliminate the past grievances from ourselves, from the system, and from the roots of civilization,
, remove all kinds of contradictions caused by skin color, different ideologies and even gender, then our tomorrow will be plunged into a long night of darkness, and our civilization will also move toward irreversible decline in regret..."
At that time, this report triggered a frenzy of "thinking and enterprising" around the world.
Countless people who are subject to the system, oppressed by class, and suffering from wars have taken to the streets. They are looking forward to peace and a better world, not a world that keeps repeating the tragedies of the past.
That year, there seemed to be a brief awakening in the consciousness of the general public.
However, the next year, another so-called official report was released by New Midland, claiming that the research report of its unofficial team presented by the Chinese representative at the Global Co-Prosperity System Conference last year contained a large amount of data fraud.
.
It also cited exact data on military expenditures and aerospace research and exploration funding since the United States, Canada, Mexico and other countries jointly established the New United States of America.
From this data, it can be clearly seen that New Midland's annual investment in scientific research, especially in the aerospace field, has far exceeded its military expenditure, reaching an astonishing 1.9 trillion US dollars. In contrast,
Next, New Midland also publicly accused that since China took the lead in establishing the Xinghan International Aerospace Center, China’s investment in the aerospace field has been far less than other member countries of the Xinghan International Aerospace Center, especially New Midland’s investment.
.
So, New Midland came to the conclusion.
“In this unprecedented glorious era, in this shining era of technological breakthroughs, in this era where humanism is celebrated, dataism is booming.
As one of the great powers in the East, China is obviously not active enough."
Although the conclusion is put in a "tactful" way, as representatives of Western powers, Easterners naturally know that these words are openly mocking and guiding the direction of world public opinion while making nonsense.
As expected, this report issued by New Midland soon brought Dongfang, First Central Axis, and Xinghan International Aerospace to the forefront. In June of the same year, New Midland repeated the old tune, using "New Midland
The National Security Law pioneered the expulsion of many Eastern companies, including Sushi Xinyuan Biopharmaceutical Company and Xingyi Heavy Industry, a subsidiary of Huasheng Fengmao.
At the same time, what is even more puzzling is that.
Even in 2140, the words of politicians are still the vane of public awareness.
As a result, the people's consciousness, which had just shown some signs of awakening, fell into a deep sleep again... At the end of that year, there was a secret report stating that many of the top capital tycoons in the New American League were secretly building underground super fortresses, indicating that the end was coming.
By 2150, looking back at the various actions of the New American League back then, it is not difficult to see that this is a set of serial strategies.
The members of the New American League's rights group are not as stupid as the media people say. On the contrary, they are extremely smart, but at the same time they are also completely inhumane and smart people who promote dataism to the extreme.
They were able to predict an approaching storm early, so they built a super doomsday fortress in advance.
They can even take advantage of the limitations of public opinion and public cognition to guide the flow of capital during this period, thereby plundering resources to the greatest extent possible and establishing their own "elite society."
Su Che's book "The Golden Age" mentioned it.
"The future must belong to the elite and to all mankind. However, the number of elites and whether they represent all mankind requires careful consideration."
The members of the New American League's rights group have thought this through.
They cannot save the 1.7 billion New American citizens, but they can save themselves, and as long as they live, in the future world after the end of the world, the "elite society" will take advantage of the situation to complete nirvana and rebirth.
The "International Bill of Human Rights" and the "Global Co-Prosperity Agreement" have become empty talk at this time. For ordinary people who do not have sufficient cognitive ability and foresight, they exist to serve the order, but for the founders of the order they are
There is no binding force at all.
So here we are in 2150.
The fifth year after "the sun disappeared".
The remaining survivors in the 670 existing shelters in New Midland only add up to 37 million people. Compared with the number of 1,794 million people shown in the international demographic database before the catastrophe, it is simply
Outrageous...
Therefore, when the "beacon fire" is lit, many countries are no longer in the mood to watch the fire from the other side.
The people only feel a deep sadness... This disappointment in the government structure has gradually spread to the top management of major shelters who are working hard to ensure the comfort of survivors.
Being on the verge of losing control leaves many managers mentally and physically exhausted.
When people ask why they still persist and continue to work hard?
These managers can only report the problem to the first central axis and the "Beacon Council".
These two organizations are very aware that this catastrophe will be a protracted war... so they cannot give an official, definite answer in a short time.
But this is the tragedy.
The urgency of reality does not allow them to fight a "protracted war" against the catastrophe.
Or……
Everyone is tired.
For the future, for society, and for the meaning of civilization itself, we are gradually losing our original enthusiasm and expectations. Maybe it was a few and local emotions at the beginning, but what about ten years later? What about twenty years later?
…………………………………………………………………………
"We must make other plans." Yougege didn't have any unnecessary nonsense. Everyone present looked older than her, but everyone was respectful.
This is the main venue of the "Beacon Council". Logically speaking, Yougege, who has stepped down from the highest power structure, is not qualified to participate in the meeting, but today Shang Junxiao invited her alone.
"The goal is very clear. No matter what the world becomes, as long as the earth is still our home, the core is still hot, and it allows us to continue to survive here, we have to find a way to stay in the shelter, in the underground world
Establishing a new kingdom will never be a waste of resources, but a necessary measure related to human nature and the authenticity of existence, so... I ask you to think about it seriously and come up with an effective implementation plan."
Gege's proposal was very clear.
That is, not only can we not sit still and wait for death, but we must also learn to adapt to underground life before finding out the reason for the "disappearance of the sun".
But the "Beacon Council" is not a one-word hall of Yougege. Everyone here can be called the elite among the elites, and their perspective on looking at and examining issues will never be as simple and general as Yougege's.
"The plan for the underground dome structure was rejected three years ago. The reason for rejecting the plan at that time was that it was not feasible. Today, our manpower and material resources are very stretched, and we can barely implement the Mercury Outpost and Venus Transit.
The station and the 'Sun' exploration have done their best...So I personally think that what we were unable to do three years ago is even less qualified to be implemented today." The person who raised the objection was an Indian architect.
Engineer, his name is Jawaharlal Sandy.
Yougege knew that her suggestion would not be easily supported, and she also knew that the urgent reality she was facing would not allow her overly idealistic idea to be implemented smoothly.
It's just that she still has to stand up as a layman, test these people, let them open up their minds, and activate their brains again.
"I don't agree with Mr. Sandy's view." Before Yougege could speak, someone had already stood up to raise objections. He was an Asian-looking man named Duanmu Yanye.
Duanmu Hikono is a Japanese professor of biology, now 75 years old. He is also a senior marine ecological scientist with 35 years of research experience.
Duanmu Yanye was originally just a member of the expert advisory group of the "Beacon Council". Later, because Takahashi Yinji's people invaded and occupied the first central axis, many members died, and Duanmu Yanye was invited to participate in the meeting as a new member.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone turned their attention.
Sandy remained silent, waiting for the next sentence.
Duanmu Yanye said softly: "Of course, our manpower and material resources are extremely limited now, but as long as a small number of shelters provide short-term support, I think we can squeeze out some energy to implement the plan that we rejected three years ago.
Moreover, I think Ms. Yougege mentioned this plan again today to warn everyone that when it comes time to test their courage, no matter the organization or individual, they must have the righteousness to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and they should devote their utmost to the concept of common prosperity. What's more, we
The original plan that was rejected was also intended to build an underground kingdom that was more powerful and more like our former home. If it could be realized, it could become a powerful source of power that drives the progress of our human civilization, whether it is population,
Or resources can be supplemented, and the only thing we need to worry about is whether we really have enough theoretical data and practical available technology to support us in doing so?"
Sandy suddenly smiled and said: "Theoretical data and practical available technology are unlimited. I think that as long as everyone here and the team behind you are very sincere, you can do it at any time if you try it once. It's just
When it comes to the transfer of limited manpower and material resources from major shelters, we can't just say a few words based on our previous prestige. After all, this involves real survival issues... and according to our original thoughts
, the best place to build an underground dome is on the North China Plain in China, which means that the first place that needs courage to conduct the test is the North China Plain and the 120 million Chinese people in the 400 nearby shelters.
People! This cannot be solved by just talking or using words."
Duanmu Yanye stopped talking. What he just said was actually somewhat theoretical.
Of course, the limited manpower and material resources of the shelter can be squeezed out to do big things in this extreme environment, but there are too many people involved, and the front line is likely to be stretched indefinitely, and the realistic prospects for implementation are worrying.
At this time, a representative in the parliament said slowly: "If the Chinese people are willing to take this risk, I would like to ask Mr. Sandy and everyone here, how sure are you and how much time will it take to complete the goal that was denied back then?
plan?"
Sandy looked at the representative, his expression changed slightly, and then he replied seriously: "According to the theoretical model three years ago, at least three million people will be invested and it will take nine years to hope to complete."
As soon as these words came out, some new members who joined later were moved.
Yougege was also shocked when he heard this...
And the representative asked: "There is hope that it can be completed, how big is the hope?"
It's hard for Sandy to answer, because there are many factors in this design. If it were the environment three years ago, after the world faced a space catastrophe, everything was still unclear, but generally speaking, there were not so many unstable factors. Sandy
A rough answer can be given based on the super computing core of the first central axis.
But now...
Sandy was silent..
The representative asked: "Is it because there is no specific data to support it, or is it inconvenient to answer for other reasons?"
When Sandy was about to answer after hesitating for a long time, Yougege suddenly said: "I think the reason why Mr. Sandy did not answer immediately is because he felt that the newly added variables would cause irreversible damage to this unprecedented and mammoth project anytime and anywhere.
Damage, so instead of giving everyone psychological comfort data, it is better to remain silent and let everyone give up this idea, am I right, Mr. Sandy?".
When it comes to guessing people's thoughts, all of you here may not be as good as You Gege who has lived for more than a century and a half.
So Sandy could only smile bitterly and nod: "Ms. Yougege is right, I do... have this idea, but judging from your tone, it seems that you have a way to solve these hidden worries?".
After hearing this, everyone looked at Yougege.
Yougege smiled, and then said slowly: "Mr. Sandy's concerns are exactly what I was thinking about before I put forward my ideas at today's meeting... Indeed, as long as there are enough manpower and material resources for a huge project,
Coupled with reliable data and theoretical support, time is not a problem, and natural environmental factors are not something we need to consider... But when it comes to man-made disasters, especially in recent years, everyone knows that some people have made decisions that they think are very smart.
, not only hid in the Super Doomsday Fortress early, but also used the whole world as a chessboard to play chess inside the fortress... As a result, the whole world was brought into chaos by them... These people have become the biggest concern that we must consider in everything we do now.
Hidden danger.”
Everyone was silent after hearing this...
Yougege continued: "But please don't worry, give me a year, I can uproot these people, and then it will be your time to come on stage. I only hope that you can give a clear answer by then,
Instead of remaining silent like this."
Yougege's words are true to his word...
If she was really just an ordinary girl, everyone present would probably laugh out loud when they heard this.
But when they thought that Shang Junxiao was like a child meeting the eldest elder in the family when he saw her, everyone understood that this woman would definitely do what she said.
After Yougege expressed his position, the representative also said: "In this case... then I also promise that within one year, I will give you a clear answer on the matter of squeezing out manpower and material resources, and at that time...
…Mr. Sandy, I hope that you, as well as everyone here and the professional team behind you, can give a complete answer in the spirit of co-prosperity of mankind."
After hearing these two speeches, although the atmosphere in the venue was silent, everyone's hearts were enthusiastic.
After the meeting, Shang Junxiao, who had not shown a smile since the catastrophe, unexpectedly smiled happily. He followed behind You Gege and said: "It's been a long time since I saw everyone so motivated. Sure enough, we still need a clear way to do things.
direction."
You Gege frowned and said, "Jun Xiao."
"Yes!" Shang Junxiao immediately put away his smile when he heard this, stood up straight and responded.
"Regarding the matter of the Shanhai No., please give me another in-depth investigation... I don't believe that there are only so many people involved in this matter." You Gege said with a cold expression and a flat tone.
Shang Junxiao had cold sweat on his forehead, and he nodded seriously: "I understand."
"In addition... that girl Yaren brought back bad news from Mars. You'd better prepare in advance. We can't be passive this time." You Gege didn't say it clearly, but Shang Junxiao understood it.
Yougege means...
He asked in a low voice: "Do we need to use the Pacific garrison?"
Yougege thought for a while and then shook his head: "That is the last trump card. Don't reveal it easily unless you have to..."
"Understood." Shang Junxiao nodded.
"Also...is Jiu Shanluoqi not dead?" You Gege stared at Shang Junxiao...
Shang Junxiao was shocked when he heard this. He hesitated for a second and then nodded: "Yes, he is still alive, but he can't remember what he did before."
"Well... take me to see him." Yougege said calmly..
Shang Junxiao did not hesitate this time: "Yes."
