Earth Era

Base 105, temporary frontline command post.

General Lei Zhen sat in his seat expressionlessly. In front of him, a huge screen clearly displayed the situation on the central square. Through this screen, he could not only observe the gathering location, density, number of people, movements, etc. of people, but also the location of the soldiers confronting them. This helps him make the most targeted command to ensure that the impact of the incident is minimized.

But General Lei Zhen knew very well that in such a large-scale conflict, it was impossible not to be injured and shed blood. Even the head of state Shen Qingyuan specially approved a death quota for General Lei Zhen. As long as the final death toll did not exceed five people, it was acceptable.

As the top person in charge of the military, Lei Zhen is unwilling to direct his soldiers to use violence against those who should be protected by the military. But perhaps it is the way soldiers think and act that makes Lei Zhen realize more clearly than anyone else that in order to pursue longer-term interests, it is sometimes inevitable to harm existing interests. It was precisely because of this that he became a staunch supporter of Shen Qingyuan, and it was precisely because of this that he finally decided to carry out this mission in person.

Time passed bit by bit, and the final moment had arrived, but Shen Qingyuan's order did not arrive as promised. This surprised Lei Zhen, but he could only continue to wait.

On the central square, people's emotions were even more excited.

"We will never move from here even if we die! We are members of the human race and we have the inherent right to survive and live! No one can deprive us of our rights!"

"Protest! Shen Qingyuan steps down! Steps down!"

"Poor people in all civilizations should unite to resist these tyranny! Should people be divided into three, six or nine classes? The rich can live in first-class cities with good environment, but we can only live in fifth-class cities. Going?"

"That's not fair, that's not fair!"

Countless media reporters flocked to publish this scene to every corner of civilization as quickly as possible. At this moment, not even the Phoenix Star explosion could distract people's attention.

This is also what makes General Lei Zhen feel a little confused. In the past, in the face of mass incidents, the government's response methods may have been different, but the only thing they had in common was that they would strictly control public opinion and block information, striving to minimize the situation. But this time Shen Qingyuan showed some signs of doing the opposite. Not only did he not prohibit the media from reporting these things, he even did not monitor the communication network in Base 105.

Although he did not understand Shen Qingyuan's intention, General Lei Zhen gave up his intention to continue thinking after just a moment. His identity is the head of the military, and he is directly ordered by the head of civilization. As long as he understands these two points, it is enough.

Blue Star, Office of the Führer.

Shen Qingyuan knew that the originally scheduled time had arrived, but he had no intention of issuing an order for forced relocation now.

"I want to talk to Wang Hao."

A secretary took the order and left, and a moment later, the information channel was ready. However, because the distance was too far and the communication delay was too severe—even if information experts specially laid a super-light communication link for this call, the one-way communication delay between the two parties would be as high as an hour—the two sides could not Communicate in real time. Shen Qingyuan could only send his words at once to save time.

"Hello Wang Hao, you should already know that a super explosion is about to happen on Phoenix Planet. Unfortunately, I can't save your life. You are certainly a hero of our human civilization and worthy of everyone's respect, and I respect you too. Great personality, but in this call, I am not just expressing my admiration to you, but there is another thing.

In order to ensure that we can achieve breakthroughs in basic science as quickly as possible, I decided to allocate 40% of the resources in the civilization to scientific research. But the move met with serious opposition. I will introduce the specific situation to you in detail in the form of an attachment.

You should be aware of the huge reputation you have within civilization, especially as a tragic hero who made a huge contribution to mankind that is recognized by the world, but ultimately had to die in a natural disaster. Your influence may exceed Your own imagination. I hope that before you die, you can use your influence to persuade the people to accept the new economic reform plan. This would avoid a lot of bloodshed and reduce a lot of damage.

I know that you have given a lot to civilization, and it is very unfair to ask you to dedicate your last bit of strength at this last moment, but I think you will accept it. After all, getting civilization through this disaster is our collective wish, isn’t it? "

After a period of delay, this information came to the Dragon God spacecraft and was presented to Wang Hao through a virtual screen.

The head of state in the picture is still majestic and confident, but for some reason, Wang Hao always feels that the head of state he sees this time has some fatigue and weakness that he has never noticed before.

"Maybe this is my misunderstanding." Wang Hao thought.

Wang Hao indeed knew that Phoenix Star was about to erupt, and he also knew that he would not be able to be rescued and that he would surely die in this disaster. But unexpectedly, Wang Hao did not feel the slightest fear because of this. Instead, he felt a kind of relaxation from the depths of his soul.

"Thank God for helping me make a choice, so that I don't have to worry about whether to end my life early or live on with this broken body. If before I die, I can contribute more to our civilization. If you have the last bit of strength, I’d be happy to.”

"Führer, as you said, it is our common wish to allow civilization to survive this disaster. For this wish, I can give everything I have. I will comply with your request and record a video to complete the task you entrusted to me. Mission. I just hope that you, the Head of State, can properly collect my bones and bury me on the earth if we can return to the solar system one day. Goodbye, Head of State."

Wang Hao, who appeared in front of Shen Qingyuan, was no longer the same as before. He was sitting weakly in a wheelchair, his face was dry and sallow, his expression was haggard, and his body covered by a thick blanket looked unusually thin. But there seemed to be some magical light shining in his eyes, making him look radiant, as if his body was covered with a layer of light.

Although he knew that Wang Hao could no longer see him, Shen Qingyuan still stood up, walked out from behind the desk, and bowed deeply to Wang Hao in the picture.

"You are a real hero. Please rest assured that your wish will definitely come true."

After the communication delay, a recorded video was sent to Shen Qingyuan. At this moment, Phoenix Star's super explosion came as scheduled.

Almost in a moment, the brightness of the Phoenix star in the real-time monitoring screen increased by at least half. In the multiple extinction screens, a cloud of smoke quietly rose from the edge of the Phoenix star. Intense gamma rays surge in along with visible light, destroying everything in their path. The stream of charged particles roars out like a tsunami, sweeping across the entire galaxy.

There is a time difference between the two because the transmission speed of the two is not the same. The transmission speed of gamma rays and visible light is the speed of light, while the propagation speed of stellar wind is only a few thousand kilometers per second at most. This means that the state of emergency will continue for some time.

Shen Qingyuan sighed and ordered: "Publish this video."

At this moment, Wang Hao appeared on almost all media channels. In the picture, Wang Hao is still sitting in a wheelchair, and his exposed forearm is still full of shocking ulcers, but he is smiling, and that smile is full of serenity and peace.

There were also several huge open-air screens above the central square, and Wang Hao's figure also appeared in front of the excited crowd. Almost as soon as Wang Hao appeared, the huge noise weakened. When Wang Hao started to speak, the noise completely disappeared.

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Hao. I am honored to announce good news to you. The human experiment conducted by me has achieved extremely important results. My colleagues told me that they are very likely to use the data obtained from this experiment. Developing blocking drugs will not be able to reverse the genetic mutation, but it can block the impact of this genetic mutation on the next generation. If there are no accidents, the threat of infants becoming idiots can be temporarily eliminated."

People looked at each other, not knowing how to react to the news.

"Originally, I planned to return to the Phoenix Galaxy before the radiation killed me, but unfortunately, my colleagues told me that there was a super outbreak in the Phoenix Planet, and the government did not have the ability to rescue me. This also meant that my life It's only going to be the last few hours of rain, and in those few hours, I want to tell you something."

Wang Hao spoke calmly, as if he was telling something completely unrelated to him. After learning that Wang Hao was about to die, people were finally a little moved.

"Obviously, the universe is not always kind to us, and occasionally there are some hardships. The life and death of our civilization is not important to the universe, but as a member of a civilization, this civilization is everything to us. I Think about it, each of us has an obligation to contribute to its survival and continuation. If each of us is obsessed with what we have, where will the future of civilization go?"

"I will die in a few hours, but I still want my bones to be buried in the earth."

"I think it's time for all of us to come together and get through this together."
