Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

Three days later.

The White House of the United States.

Albert stood by the window and looked out through the gauze curtains.

Seeing the crowd sitting in protest around the White House, Abbott's face instantly darkened.

"Damn...why are these people still here?"

Albert growled in a low voice: "Didn't an announcement be made last night?!"

"…His Excellency the President."

There was a slight sigh from the side: "Our announcement is too late."

Seeing Albert looking at him, William Blair shrugged and said helplessly: "They don't believe us at all."

"Fxxk!" Albert's face turned slightly red and he cursed in a low voice, "Did I do something wrong?"

"The United States has no power left to save people!"

"I'm doing this for the good of the United States!"

William Blair did not speak, just looked at Albert in front of him quietly.

"Bang!"

Just as Abbott was about to continue his tirade, the door to the President's Office was pushed open.

"Your Excellency, something happened!"

…

"Director Moulton, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation!"

Albert looked at Moulton in front of him with an ugly face, and his tone was full of suppressed anger: "When has the door to the President's Office been able to be opened directly by you?"

Moulton's face was full of panic.

He swallowed slightly, not paying attention to the threat in Albert's words, and directly handed a document in his hand to the president's desk.

"Sir, none of this matters."

"Take a look at this first."

Albert glanced deeply at Moulton and didn't reply. He just reached out and picked up the files on the table.

"According to the latest observations, the sun has entered a rapid aging stage and is expected to become a red giant within a few years! 》

The moment he saw the title, Albert couldn't help but be stunned.

"Sun? Rapid aging?"

"I remember, doesn't the sun still have 4 to 5 billion years to live?"

As he spoke, Albert reached out and opened the document.

"Your Excellency, according to normal development, this is indeed the case." Moulton said with a bitter look on his face, "But according to NASA's latest observation data, in just one year, the sun seems to have traveled hundreds of millions of years."

"According to our prediction..." Moulton paused slightly, took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice, "Within ten years, he will completely become a red giant, and by then, both Mercury and Venus will be swallowed up!"

The movement of Albert's hand suddenly stopped!

…

"Professor, the United States has discovered that the sun is abnormal."

In the quiet office, the computer screen in front of Lu Yongchang suddenly lit up, a document appeared on it, and Ling's voice also came.

Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly and he stopped writing.

Then, with slightly trembling hands, he unscrewed the pen holder and inserted the pen tip into the ink bottle beside him.

While pushing the lever to absorb the ink, Lu Yongchang asked softly: "How is the United States going to respond?"

"Professor, the United States... seems to want to hide this news."

Lu Yongchang's movements suddenly stopped.

"Ha, it's the same as before." Lu Yongchang sneered, his eyes getting deeper and deeper, "Zero, help me contact Congressman Li."

"yes!"

…

12 noon the next day.

Magic City.

Because it was a day off, Zhao Zijie sat in the living room after lunch, watching the TV program in front of him boredly.

"Hey...TV is becoming more and more boring recently."

"What kind of filming was done here? The martial arts are all in slow motion, and the special effects are not even as good as those in games..."

Zhao Zijie frowned and reached out to grab the remote control aside, preparing to change to a TV station.

The next moment, the TV program was suddenly interrupted and the TV turned into a black screen.

Zhao Zijie looked at the TV in front of him in astonishment.

What's going on?

He didn't press the remote control either?

He stood up and walked to the TV, raising his hand to try the oldest 45° slap method to repair it.

Just when his right hand was about to touch the TV screen, the black screen TV came on again.

However, the content played has changed.

"Congressman Li?"

Zhao Zijie looked at the old man on the TV and sighed softly subconsciously.

"Good afternoon to all compatriots of Xia Kingdom."

The old man cast his deep gaze directly at the camera: "Next, I want to announce a few very important things."

"Please all Xia country compatriots, be sure to tell each other."

Zhao Zijie's heart skipped a beat.

Something happened!

This is definitely something big!

He quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened the Penguin app.

The moment the app is opened, a small window video that cannot be closed appears on the mobile phone page.

It's amazingly the same as the picture on the TV!

Zhao Zijie's expression changed slightly.

Such an exaggerated propaganda method...

Before Zhao Zijie could react, the old man's calm voice came from the phone and TV simultaneously.

"According to the observation data of Xia Guo Observatory, the sun has entered a rapid aging stage due to unknown reasons."

"It is expected that within 10 years, the sun will enter the red giant stage and swallow up the two planets Mercury and Venus."

"Within 15 years, the sun will erupt with a helium flash."

"The Earth will be completely destroyed by a helium flash."

"..."

Zhao Zijie stared at the TV in front of him.

Are you kidding?

Without giving any buffer time, Councillor Li's voice sounded again.

"I declare that from this moment on, Xiaguo will enter the first level of combat readiness!"

"All materials will be uniformly allocated by the state!"

"The global evacuation operation will be launched immediately. Please contact the embassy in time to avoid omissions."

"From now on, Xiaguo will close all international trade channels!"

"..."

Zhao Zijie's eyes widened suddenly and he took a breath.

First level combat readiness? !

Fuck, things are serious!

This is the highest level of war readiness!

After announcing a series of iron-blooded measures, the old man on TV gradually eased his expression.

"Everyone, we started preparing for this natural disaster a year ago."

"At present, we have completed a series of resource reserve plans."

"Next, Xiaguo will invest a lot of resources in the aerospace industry. By then, the quality of life of every citizen may decline."

"Here, I apologize to you all!"

The old man stood up, faced the screen, and bowed deeply.

A few seconds later, the old man straightened up and said solemnly: "Finally, please believe in the country and don't panic too much."

"I assure you that Xiaguo will never fall here!"

"Xiaguo will never give up anyone!"
