Earth Era

After coming to a conclusion, people dispersed with heavy faces. An early warning signal has been sent from here. How to deal with this meteorological disaster in the future is a matter for government agencies and has little to do with the staff here. What they have to consider is how to ensure that their own observation stations can survive the storm smoothly, and resume work as soon as possible to continue monitoring the stellar activity of Phoenix.

Fortunately, because the work site is extremely close to the Phoenix star, all major stellar observatories have adopted extremely reliable radiation protection systems. Although careful responses are required, surviving this disaster should not be a problem.

This early warning message arrived at the Civilization Emergency Office after a few minutes of communication delay, and was then presented to Shen Qingyuan's desk as quickly as possible.

"It's been a troubled time." Shen Qingyuan sighed softly.

At this moment, almost everyone in the entire civilization, whether supporters, opponents, or bystanders, are closely watching the forced relocation of Space Base 105. A large number of people still gathered in the base square, holding various crude weapons, refusing to pay the residence tax or move. The confrontation continues and martial law has not been lifted.

"Issued an early warning and ordered the emergency office to immediately come up with a response plan. Wu Wei was informed that the economic reform work, residence tax collection, and forced relocation will not be affected by this and will continue."

"Yes." A secretary took the order and left, while an adviser said after a moment of hesitation: "Führer, you should know that your actions and policies have offended all classes in civilization. In your reforms , you don’t have any supporters.”

Shen Qingyuan turned his head and stared at the consultant calmly. The consultant continued: "Your current supporters only support you because of your past prestige. This does not change the reality that you have also harmed their interests. When your reform policy goes further and touches them When the bottom line of interests is intolerable, your last supporters will turn their backs on you and eventually leave you."

Shen Qingyuan still didn't speak.

"The public statement of the former head of state, Mr. Nickel, is the most serious warning to you from your opponents. You should pay attention to this and reflect on your policies and behaviors. Otherwise, you will sooner or later reach a dead end."

"Oh..." A playful look appeared on Shen Qingyuan's face: "You mean, Nickel may be seeking to return to the throne of the head of state?"

"If Nikhil can represent the interests of the majority of people, even if he does not want to be the head of state, others will push him to the position of head of state."

Shen Qingyuan was silent. Shen Qingyuan knew that it didn't matter whether there were supporters behind Nickel or whether there were interest groups pushing for it. Even if not, when Nickel raises this flag, there will always be people who gather under his flag, just like some of his opponents have gathered under Han Luochang's flag.

"No politician will promote policies that offend the interests of all classes. Politics is the art of compromise. Winning one group over and suppressing another group are the most basic political skills. But unfortunately, your recent behavior has not allowed me to see any The qualities of a qualified politician. Frankly, you let me down."

Shen Qingyuan said calmly: "We are not pursuing politics now, but pursuing survival."

The advisor shrugged his shoulders: "When you are ousted from the throne of the head of state, you will know that you have neither pursued survival nor lost politics. Well, since you have made up your mind, and I hold a different position than you Based on your political views, I’m afraid I can no longer serve you. I apply to resign.”

Shen Qingyuan glanced at the consultant expressionlessly and said, "Goodbye."

This is the fifth political consultant to resign in recent times.

Shen Qingyuan sat silently in the office for a while, and then came to the most strictly protected small room again.

At Space Base No. 105, the confrontation continued, and even the most urgent emergency evacuation order did not affect people's determination. Tens of millions of various spaceships, bases, observation stations, etc. have begun to evacuate in an orderly manner. Spaceships and bases with suitable routes and distances will avoid the new Saturn and new Jupiter, or behind various large satellites, and use natural stars to resist the Phoenix. Due to the erosion of the star winds, the spacecraft that cannot arrive quickly will gather together and use the most well-protected large-scale comprehensive base to avoid the storm.

Because the storm came so quickly, some spacecraft scattered throughout the galaxy were unable to find suitable refuge locations. For this part, the emergency office has no good solution. It can only order them to enter safe mode and stay as far away from Phoenix as possible. As for the final result, it can only depend on God's will.

Some of these spacecraft can also travel at faster than light speeds. However, at this stage when the activity intensity of Phoenix Star is increasing day by day, entering super-light speed navigation near the star is tantamount to seeking death. They can only carry out conventional navigation, and the speed of conventional navigation is simply not enough to allow them to escape the dangerous area.

The emergency office has even calculated the damage this incident will cause to human civilization. Even in the best possible outcome, more than 2,000 people will die, and at least a thousand space vehicles of various types will be seriously damaged. Even if human beings have developed to this stage and have such advanced technology, they can still only deal with the violent nature of the world with caution.

The space base where the biochemical laboratory is located is also being relocated. For non-base management personnel living at the base or inside the spacecraft, this disaster actually did not have much impact on them. The channels and berths allocated by the emergency office will be directly implemented by the base management personnel. People only need to follow the unified allocation, suspend certain work projects, cooperate with shutting down certain instruments, and pay attention to accident prevention.

During the relatively busy response work, a staff member of the biochemical laboratory suddenly remembered something.

"The Dragon God comprehensive scientific research vessel that Wang Hao is on is a civilian spacecraft. It only has B3 level radiation resistance. When the Phoenix star super burst reached the Dragon God spacecraft, its radiation intensity could even reach A2 level. , too powerful radiation will seriously damage various equipment inside the spacecraft, and even directly cause harm to the human body. But the Dragon God spacecraft is still more than 5 billion kilometers away from the new Saturn at this moment, and it is impossible for it to arrive before the stellar storm arrives. Find shelter."

"If there was only a flow of charged particles in this explosion, because the flow of charged particles was moving slowly, we would have had time to rescue the Dragon God spacecraft, and even directly send a sublight speed spacecraft to pick up Wang Hao. But this explosion was also accompanied by Extremely strong gamma rays. Gamma rays travel at the speed of light. It only takes more than seven hours to reach the Dragon God spacecraft. We have no time to rescue..."

People looked at each other and realized the seriousness of this matter in just a moment.

Now that Wang Hao has lost almost all his ability to take care of himself, and his body must rely on drugs and medical equipment to barely survive, these impacts are unbearable for Wang Hao. It is almost certain that if there is no suitable response plan, Wang Hao will definitely die in this disaster.

But no one could accept this result. People know very clearly that if Wang Hao had not sacrificed his own health and even his life, those precious research materials would not have appeared in people's computers, and the drugs that are very likely to block the process of idiotization of human descendants would not have been possible. may be studied by people.

Wang Hao made great contributions to the entire civilization and everyone. How could such a hero be allowed to die in space?

A joint team was established as quickly as possible, with members including high-energy physicists, radiation disease experts, spacecraft engineers and many other professionals. Their mission is simple, that is, to find a way to prevent the impact of the Phoenix Star storm using the existing equipment of the Dragon God spacecraft in the shortest possible time, and ultimately save Wang Hao's life.

The joint group was formed under the direct order of the head of state Shen Qingyuan, and a secretary of the head of state directly joined the group. Regardless of resources or manpower, as long as it helps solve the problem, the secretary of the head of state will immediately help solve the problem on site. In a solemn atmosphere, the group members began to discuss.

Time passed bit by bit. At this moment, there were still five hours before the Phoenix star exploded, and it slowly became four hours. In the end, the leading scientist shook his head heavily.

"Sorry, we don't have any way to rescue Wang Hao. The only way to rescue Wang Hao before the gamma ray burst reaches the Dragon God spacecraft is to send a super-light speed spacecraft. However, in today's space environment, the spacecraft enters super-light speed navigation It is tantamount to courting death, and the sub-light speed spacecraft is simply too late. There are no corresponding facilities in the Dragon God spacecraft to withstand such strong radiation."

The secretary of the head of state nodded slightly, turned and left here.

Shen Qingyuan gently closed the reporting interface. Although he did not want to see a scientist who had made such contributions to mankind die, but after learning that death was doomed and that no rescue could be done no matter what, Shen Qingyuan threw the name Wang Hao out of his mind.

His attention returned to the forced relocation of Base 105. A large number of heavily armed soldiers are still confronting the excited crowd, time is still passing slowly, and the last moment will come soon.

Shen Qingyuan knew that now that almost everyone was watching this incident, he had to show his toughness. Only in this way can follow-up work be carried out smoothly. If there are more gentle ways to solve this incident, he is not willing to use violent methods, but this does not mean that he will be afraid of bloodshed and death.

But suddenly, an idea appeared in his mind.
