Earth Era

All scientists present, including Zhao Lan, will automatically receive a voting quota. Because of different opinions and no time for experimental verification, it has to be said that such a major event that affects the entire earth and the entire human civilization has to be decided through voting. This has to be said to be a very irresponsible thing. But now people have no other way. At this time, it is most reasonable to make the final decision through voting.

Zhao Lan turned on his personal electronic device and brought up the voting interface. There are three big options on the voting interface, namely agree, oppose and abstain. Zhao Lan originally thought that he would press the yes option without hesitation, but when the vote was finally made, Zhao Lan hesitated.

Zhao Lan couldn't help but ask himself a question in his mind: "I'm trying hard to convince scientists to accept the calculation method in this document, but... what about me? Do I... really believe in Li Yunfan?"

Zhao Lan found that at this moment, he was unable to answer this question. Zhao Lan always thought that he believed in Li Yunfan, but now, when the matter has progressed to the point where he faces his innermost feelings, Zhao Lan hesitates. Zhao Lan found that he didn't seem to trust Li Yunfan very much. This is actually a very contradictory state, but at this moment this contradictory state appears in Zhao Lan at the same time.

"It turns out that I have been escaping and escaping." Zhao Lan thought silently in his heart, "Actually... I suggested to Li Yunfan that I would try to persuade scientists in the mainstream scientific community to accept his calculation process. This is actually because I don't dare to take this responsibility. After I publish this calculation process, if the scientists do not approve Li Yunfan's calculation process...when things are finally irreversible and the earth finally falls into the empty universe, I can Shirking my own responsibility - because all the scientists here participated in the vote, it was the scientists who jointly rejected this proposal, and the responsibility does not lie with me alone."

"I remember that Li Yunfan is also a psychologist. So, Li Yunfan must be very clear about my psychological activities. Li Yunfan was aware of all this, but he didn't say anything. Come to think of it... Li Yunfan must be very fond of me. Be disappointed."

"But this responsibility is so big. How can I bear it?" Zhao Lan thought in despair, "How did Zhao Huasheng make that decision when his speculation had not yet been finally verified? Taking on all the responsibilities on your own? And Li Yunfan, Li Yunfan, how sure are you that you are right? What if you are wrong? Can you take on this responsibility? "

Li Yunfan's words seemed to reappear in Zhao Lan's mind: "Okay, you can give it a try."

In the past few years, the two have always talked through audio and files. Although the two are very familiar with each other, Zhao Lan still doesn't know what Li Yunfan is like. But now. However, a man with a faint smile and a calm expression appeared in Zhao Lan's mind, but there was a powerful force in his smile. This man is not strong, but no matter who sees him, they will feel as if they have found support.

This person is trustworthy and dependable.

Zhao Lan tried hard to outline Li Yunfan's face, but he still couldn't figure it out clearly. Because there is no reference or basis for Zhao Lan to outline Li Yunfan's appearance in his mind. But after a moment, Zhao Lan suddenly felt something in his heart. Zhao Lan suddenly felt that Zhao Huasheng and Li Yunfan seemed to have a lot in common. As a result, the face of Zhao Huasheng's huge statue in Watson Square in the Earth's capital city inevitably overlapped with Li Yunfan's face. No matter how hard Zhao Lan tried, he couldn't separate the two people. Later, Zhao Lan couldn't even figure out whether he was affected by it or whether he had sketched out this appearance from the beginning.

"Things happened by accident that pushed me, an ordinary person, to this position. Although I am not outstanding. I have neither extraordinary wisdom nor outstanding decision-making ability. But I must make a decision at this moment. I have no way out. Yes." Zhao Lan thought, then resolutely pressed the agree button, and then closed his eyes.

There were constant whispers in the large conference room, and many people were whispering and exchanging something. Zhao Lan didn't talk to anyone, nor did he observe anyone. Zhao Lan is just waiting for the final result to be announced.

The voting lasted for more than ten minutes. After the host of the meeting read out the countdown in a deep voice, and until the countdown reached zero, Zhao Lan suddenly opened his eyes, and then immediately looked at the big screen.

The results of the vote were... one thousand nine hundred and seventy-five against and fifty-seven in favour. Three abstentions.

Zhao Lan's heart tightened suddenly, but then he relaxed. Zhao Lan murmured to himself: "Why should I have expectations for the voting results? Isn't this result... expected a long time ago?"

The low voice of the host of the meeting once again spread throughout the large conference room: "The voting results are out. The Executive Committee decided to still implement the original space blocking plan. There are still one year and two months before the calculated detonation time. , we will use a super-large-yield hydrogen bomb explosion to cut off the connection between Lobachevsky space and Earth space.”

There was no applause in the conference room because most people had expected this result.

The head of state stood up and solemnly announced: "The meeting is dismissed!"

Zhao Lan knew that things had become irreversible at this moment. In any case, the possibility of manipulating the black hole through the power of human governments has been completely eliminated. Then there are still two choices left before Zhao Lan.

One, choose to continue to trust Li Yunfan, and facilitate Li Yunfan's plan as the commander-in-chief of the space blockade plan, and even personally participate in the operation when necessary.

Second, choose to believe scientists in the mainstream scientific community of human civilization. Anyway, Li Yunfan's plan has been voted on now. Even if it is proved to be wrong in the future, Zhao Lan at least has no responsibility.

Even if the earth falls into the empty universe, the resources on the earth can still support human civilization for hundreds of years. And hundreds of years are enough for Zhao Lan to spend his life. This means that if Zhao Lan refuses to believe Li Yunfan, then Zhao Lan can spend his life peacefully no matter what the final outcome is. And if Zhao Lan believes Li Yunfan... Zhao Lan may be accused by thousands of people and bear the responsibility of destroying the earth and human civilization. That would be a sin that Zhao Lan would never be able to repay in his entire life.

Zhao Lan left the conference room, left the scientific research department building, and came to Watson Square again. Watson Square is still crowded with people, and neon lights of various colors are flashing, making the place a colorful world. The sky is still clear, and the black sky is dotted with stars one after another, which looks extremely beautiful.

Laughter, slapstick, shouts... all kinds of sounds were constantly transmitted to Zhao Lan's mind, but Zhao Lan's mind became more and more peaceful. Zhao Lan knows that no one here knows what they are going to face, and because of this, they can not care at all what will happen tomorrow, they can enjoy the present to their heart's content.

But Zhao Lan can't, because Zhao Lan knows a lot.

Zhao Lan continued to stroll until he reached the center of the square, in front of the statue of Zhao Huasheng. The statue of Zhao Huasheng was always filled with flowers before, and now is no exception. Zhao Lan bought another bouquet of flowers, then bent down and placed them respectfully on the ground.

Zhao Huasheng still maintained the same posture as before, and he still looked into the distance with calm and powerful eyes. Zhao Lan stood on the ground and stared at Zhao Huasheng's face for a long, long time.

I don't know if it was because of an illusion or something else, but Zhao Huasheng's eyes were clearly looking into the distance, but Zhao Lan always felt that Zhao Huasheng was looking at him, looking at his direct descendant. The eyes were full of warmth, encouragement, and kindness.

"If you were alive in heaven, if you were going through all this... what choice would you make?" Zhao Lan murmured to himself, standing under the statue of Zhao Huasheng for a long time, unwilling to leave.

But Zhao Huasheng did not appear to give any advice to his direct descendant. After a long time, Zhao Lan sighed and finally recognized the cruel fact: All things must be decided by oneself, and even his ancestor Zhao Huasheng could not help him in the slightest.

The most classic film and television work describing the solar crisis is being shown on the big screen next to the statue. It is also the most awarded and well-known film. Just when Zhao Lan put his eyes on the screen, the image of Zhao Huasheng, which was synthesized using virtual technology and restored to 100%, also turned his head at this time. With a smile on his face, he said to Zhao Lan and all the audience present with soft but powerful words: "If you are sure of something... then do it. Hesitation and worrying about gains and losses will only bring regrets." and pain.”

This is just an ordinary part of this movie, and Zhao Lan didn't know how many times he had watched it in the past. But this time it's different. Zhao Lan only felt as if something in his heart had been hit, and then the ever-changing thoughts in his heart quickly became hard and indestructible.

Zhao Lan took out the communication device, looked at the big screen, with a smile on his face, and said to Li Yunfan in a calm but firm tone: "Li Yunfan... I have decided to trust you completely and completely." ( To be continued~^~)
