It is understandable to say that a group of people get together to do research and conduct simulation experiments, but...
Is it necessary for the simulation to be so real? I even confiscated all my mobile phones and started living an original life.
Manny really couldn't understand it, at least she still couldn't understand the meaning of people like You Gege getting together.
After breakfast, Manny wanted to ask You Gege why he brought them here, but You Gege disappeared inexplicably, and the only person accompanying her mother and daughter was Yan Haowen.
"Brother Wen, how long have you been here?"
Yan Haowen was sitting on a stone bench outside the "safe house" peeling radishes with a small scimitar made of obsidian.
When Manny asked, she put down what she was doing and thought for a moment: "It's been more than a year."
"More than a year? Is it so long?" Manny asked in surprise.
Yan Haowen smiled: "Actually, I came relatively late in comparison. Well, did you see that young lady over there?"
Manny followed Yan Haowen's eyes and saw several girls sitting around under the tree, talking and laughing.
"Which one are you talking about?"
"The one in the middle wearing red clothes."
"Oh? What's wrong?"
Yan Haowen picked up a new white radish and peeled it while saying: "Her name is Harano Mu, she is Japanese. As far as I know, she has been here for three years."
"Huh?!!!" Manny's eyes couldn't help but widen.
At this time, Li Qing on the side also became curious: "Three years? Isn't this girl going home?"
Yan Haowen's smile slowly faded and he said: "Muzi's home was submerged by the sea more than a year ago, and now this is her home."
Submerged by seawater more than a year ago?
Upon hearing this, Manny immediately took out her phone and started searching.
Sure enough, I quickly found an article about the current situation in Japan.
In 2029, the World Environment Organization issued a final warning to the world. If countries continue to fail to take effective measures, sea levels will continue to rise by more than five meters in the next ten years, and we will witness with our own eyes that many coastal cities are slowly being destroyed.
Submerged in sea water.
The relevant picture related to this piece of information is the coastal area near Nagoya, Japan.
Seeing such information, Manny couldn't help but sigh. It turned out that behind the tranquility, the storm had quietly arrived.
"Then what she said is that she is Japanese. Logically speaking, the Japanese government should be responsible. How can she stay in China?" Li Qing's question brought Manny back to her senses.
yes?
In her opinion, there is no reason for any country to accept refugees unconditionally, let alone a foreigner who has lost his place of residence?
This is when Yan Haowen laughed: "Auntie, you misunderstood. Muzi did not stay in China because her family was gone. In fact, she came to China five years ago and was an excellent research student.
She came here, and the research topic she participated in at that time was related to environmental degradation, and the person who proposed this topic was one of our own."
Li Qing nodded after hearing this, but she was still a little strange, so she asked again: "Then why is this girl playing games with you in the mountains if she doesn't go to the beach for research?"
Yan Haowen couldn't help but laugh at the idea of playing games, but he didn't mind it that much. Instead, he explained: "Auntie, you can actually think about it this way. If the sea level continues to rise, wouldn't this be a problem for people living on the beach?
A doomsday disaster? Makiko hopes that through this model of mutual help,
We plan to find a way to deal with it. It is better for everyone to gather together and brainstorm ideas than to sit at a desk wearing a mask and compete with each other for their own interests. Isn’t it more practical? "
After hearing this, Li Qing finally relaxed her brows and said with a smile: "You kids born in the 10s are more willful and straightforward in your thoughts and actions, but it is true as you said, if you really want to get those experts together
Discussion, maybe the water will reach their necks before they can remember to shut up and emit less exhaust!"
Yan Haowen laughed: "Yeah, I understand, long live, but I didn't expect auntie to be so humorous."
Li Qing smiled softly after hearing this: "After all, I was also born in the 1990s, not the antique you imagined."
Yan Haowen was startled, then his smile became more admiring, and then he looked at Manny and said, "Your mother's generation is indeed worthy of respect. They have contributed too much to this world."
Manny was stunned when she heard this: "Huh?"
Obviously, Manny, who was unfamiliar with the earth, really didn't understand this time.
Li Qing waved her hands and said: "It's nothing. We just passed a breaking point. It's not a matter of respect or disrespect. To be honest, every generation has something worthy of respect. It's just that on the stage
It’s just that the length is different.”
Yan Haowen nodded: "Auntie is right. What you said is very similar to what your husband said. She has also been telling us not to give up. This era belongs to us. We should stand up and do what we can for the whole world.
, instead of waiting until you are old and looking back, you will find that you are no different from what you were twenty years ago."
Li Qing smiled slightly and did not answer any more words.
Manny heard it clearly. These words sounded very literal and felt a bit strange, but somehow, Manny smelled an aura of determination.
these people……
Are they really just in a simulation, rather than already on the battlefield fighting against a murky future?
Perhaps she had experienced too much and was too complicated, which made Manny always despise everything she had.
That's natural. After all, the sufferings experienced by humans on Gaia are beyond the imagination of ordinary people... It's just that the price of victory feels too small.
People still enjoy life on Gaia, where the sun rises and sets like Earth, twenty-four hours a day, and three hundred sixty-five or sixty-six days a year.
Sure enough, this night is only long... but short...
Manny put away her phone and smiled lightly.
…
Time, September 14, 149 A.D. Headquarters of the Supreme Military Council of the Glorious Republic of Gaia
"We have reached a preliminary agreement with the Shenqi Clan and decided to provide paid consciousness reinforcements to the Shenqi Clan on the premise of not interfering in the internal affairs of the Shenqi Clan. The roster you have now is selected by the central core
If there are no problems, please ask the person in charge of the relevant war department to arrange for the selected personnel of the headquarters to report to the fifth star port of Elubo before the 20th." After Wu Hongchuan finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Qing not far away.
Xiao Qing said nothing and seemed to be a little distracted.
Fortunately, Han Kongwen was with her. After she signaled, Wu Hongchuan coughed and said, "So, do you have any questions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a young officer sitting in the front row raised his hand and said: "Excuse me, if the selected person is currently performing an emergency mission and cannot be replaced, can someone else be arranged to report?"
Wu Hongchuan lowered his head and read the contents of the agreement, and then said: "If there is indeed
If you are unable to report on time for some reason, you need to submit the relevant reasons for the person's absence and report to the central core 24 hours in advance. Are you clear?"
"Not good."
"So, is there anything else you want to ask?"
There was no sound from the audience.
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
The brief meeting took only twenty minutes from start to finish.
But Xiao Qing was absent-minded the whole time.
She was thinking about things even on the way back to her lounge, so much so that when Wu Hongchuan reported to her the recent personnel adjustments in the Military Council, she didn't say a word.
This made Wu Hongchuan a little nervous.
Han Kongwen knew what Xiao Qing was worried about now, so he comforted Wu Hongchuan and asked Wu Hongchuan to go back first and report on the work at another time.
Wu Hongchuan left, leaving only Xiao Qing and Han Kongwen in the lounge.
Although Han Kongwen no longer has definite real power in various departments of the Glorious Republic, she still has a seat at the Military Council. This is special treatment and belongs to the highest management level authority that ordinary people have no access to.
However, Han Kongwen has been tired of power since the Center Veil incident. His willingness to come back and even come forward to help Xiao Qing is purely a matter of personal feelings.
And it's not mainly with Xiao Qing, but with Manny.
"I've read the proposal you gave me. It's very feasible, but the risk is also very high, so... I can't approve it yet." Xiao Qing's biggest problem at the moment is actually Han Kongwen.
Han Kongwen said: "But we can't wait so passively. As you know, Chu Yunlan is already ahead of us, and if we let it go, the consequences may bring disasters far beyond the coming of the central curtain.
.”
Xiao Qing was sitting at her desk, and the data emerging on her desk contained the identity information of several people.
Some of them are quite familiar.
"I understand what you mean...and Zhang Yu...Jin Yuan...Chang Yuan...these people are indeed the best and most reliable candidates, but what I'm worried about is...maybe these are all Chu Yunlan thought of, and we
The plan is being implemented smoothly according to her ideas."
Han Kongwen took a sip of wine. She was becoming more and more dependent on this kind of thing.
"You mean...she even guessed our temporary response plan?"
Xiao Qing: "It's not impossible, not to mention it's not difficult to guess."
Han Kongwen frowned, the warm wine in his mouth felt bitter on his tongue.
Putting down his wine glass, Han Kongwen came over and placed a crystal chip on Xiao Qing's table, and a set of pictures popped up: "I know you are worried that we may have fallen into a trap. Continuing to go deeper without preparation is tantamount to self-destruction."
Luo Shen, but... you don’t have to imagine her to be so powerful, because we are not vegetarians either."
Xiao Qing looked at the two people in the picture and said with some surprise: "When did you discover these?"
Han Kongwen raised his eyebrows: "When you were bargaining with Sister Lin Yan, I had already arranged for someone to check, and these are the first reports my new assistant gave me."
Xiao Qing looked at the man and woman in the picture.
She didn't know who the man was, even though she knew the woman.
"Interesting... ha... I didn't expect that many years later, we would actually have to discuss cooperation with our former rivals."
Han Kongwen smiled: "Nothing is impossible in this world, it just depends on whether you dare to make this move."
