Earth Era

"The incident of Dr. Huang Yuan's death has now been clarified. According to our investigation, in order to seek succession, the former head of state, Mr. Nickel, proposed a political program that focused on giving up leaving the Phoenix Galaxy and ensuring a return to previous living standards, and gained popularity among the people at the bottom. He had a large number of supporters. In order to achieve his goal, he established the Locke Charitable Foundation. Under the cover of charity, he colluded with a large number of wealthy people or consortiums related to this interest, privately trained killers, and finally planned an attack on Dr. Huang Yuan. Murder, trying to stop our civilization from leaving the Phoenix Galaxy..."

At the Government Affairs Committee meeting, all eleven members and Shen Qingyuan were present. Zhao Yang reported carefully, glancing at Shen Qingyuan's expression from time to time. But no matter how many times he watched it, Shen Qingyuan always looked expressionless.

Before this meeting, Zhao Yang approached Shen Qingyuan alone, hoping to report in private. After all, this incident involved the head of state's father-in-law and wife, and some of the things were not suitable for disclosure. However, Shen Qingyuan did not let Zhao Yang speak, but directly ordered a public report to be made at the political affairs committee meeting.

Zhao Yang knew that this obviously meant that Shen Qingyuan had made up his mind that no matter who was involved in this matter, he would be dealt with impartially. But Zhao Yang was not sure whether it was right to disgrace the head of state in public.

"It has been found that the leader of the Rock Charitable Foundation is Nickel, who has committed suicide. The main members are Li, Zhao and others, a total of 18 people, and they have all been arrested. Those who provided financial assistance to the foundation The consortia or groups include Wenming First Energy Company, Xinghui Group, Chenguang High-tech Development Co., Ltd., Robert Resources and Minerals Co., Ltd., etc. All their responsible persons have been arrested and brought to justice."

After hearing the name Xinghui Group, all the committee members present felt a chill in their hearts. Everyone knows that the chairman of Xinghui Group is Zhou Yueshan, and Zhou Yueshan is Shen Qingyuan's father-in-law.

Shen Qingyuan seemed not to notice the heavy atmosphere in the conference room at this moment, and only asked softly: "Iron War Commissioner, what crimes are these people involved in, and what kind of punishment should they be sentenced to?"

Tie Zhan, who is in charge of legal affairs, is a middle-aged man with a somewhat sinister appearance who makes people feel very difficult to get along with. Facing the head of state's inquiry, he answered sternly: "All participants in this incident are suspected of anti-civilization crimes. The penalties for this crime range from one hundred years of imprisonment to the death penalty. But the anti-civilization gang headed by Nikhil has caused The serious consequences resulted in the death of a political councilor and more than a dozen outstanding scientists, and had an extremely bad impact. Taking all factors into consideration, I think the maximum penalty should be used as the sentence."

"Very well, organize a public trial and deal with all these people. Commissioner Huang Yuan has made outstanding contributions to our civilization, and he cannot die in the dark."

"Yes, Führer."

The fate of more than a hundred people who originally had very high status and influence in the civilization was decided. It is conceivable how powerful the response will be in the civilization after the announcement of this matter, but this matter does not seem to matter to Shen Qing. It caused the slightest fluctuation in Yuan's heart. He turned his attention to Zhao Yang again: "Is there anything else you need to add?"

Zhao Yang hesitated slightly and finally decided to report the matter about Zhou Mingyu to Shen Qingyuan privately. Zhou Mingyu was not deeply involved in this incident. Whether he reported it publicly or not had nothing to do with the overall situation. Reporting it privately would at least prevent Shen Qingyuan from losing too much face.

"there is none left."

"Very good. Zhao Yang, you did a good job. But remember, I will not allow such a thing to happen again in the future."

Zhao Yang felt a chill in his heart and immediately lowered his head: "Yes, the head of state."

Shen Qingyuan's eyes moved from Zhao Yang to Professor Laird: "Do you have anything to report?"

Professor Laird nodded bitterly: "Yes. The first propulsion test conducted a week ago failed. Almost all of the one thousand planetary engines that had been placed in the propulsion orbit were destroyed, and accidentally caused twenty Six people died. Over the course of the week, we have investigated the cause of the accident.

It has been found that the Scientific Planning Committee made a major mistake in this incident. When installing the planetary engine, it failed to consider all aspects and failed to add the planetary engine's own gravity data to the database, which ultimately led to energy disorder and led to this accident. Head of state, I bear a heavy responsibility in this incident. "

Everyone knew that Professor Laird had a major responsibility in this accident, but no one had any idea of ​​pursuing the case, including Shen Qingyuan himself. The reason is very simple. Professor Laird had already stated that he was not capable enough to lead the Messenger Project when he took office. It was just that there were no other candidates, so Professor Laird was finally allowed to sit as a member of the Scientific Planning Committee.

This whole process is almost the same as choosing a tall person from a short person. If another candidate had been chosen, the accident might have been even more serious.

But Professor Huang Yuan has been killed in the accident, and no matter who it is, there is nothing he can do about this situation.

After a moment of silence, Shen Qingyuan asked: "What is the deeper reason for this accident?"

Professor Laird said sadly: "The main reason is that the understanding and comprehensiveness of Huang Yuan's equations and Dr. Huang Yuan's scientific thinking are not deep enough. In fact, before the experiment started, we were already discussing whether to The thruster's own gravity data was included in the parameter database, but in the end it was not included because there were many opponents. If Dr. Huang Yuan was still here, he would know whether it should be included without having to discuss it with us. .”

Han Luochang said: "In this way, all the scientists in the Scientific Planning Committee are actually not sure whether their own gravity data should be included in the parameter database. It is just because there are many opponents that they did not include it, which eventually led to Did you cause this accident?"

Laird said with some shame, "Yes."

Wu Wei snorted coldly: "This is the first time I have heard that scientists decide a matter not by relying on data and calculations, but by the number of supporters. Could it be that if the number of supporters is small, the actual physical theory will be different? Change?"

Wu Wei's sarcasm was so bitter that Professor Laird's face turned red and he was speechless.

Lei Zhen sighed: "In fact, this cannot be blamed on Professor Laird and the other scientists. They have tried their best. At least we now know that incorporating our own gravity data is the correct option."

"If Dr. Huang Yuan were still here, we could have found the right direction without paying these costs. This accident is just the beginning. In the future, will we have to have such a major accident as the price every time we look for the right direction? ? How many times can our civilization’s resource reserves support such waste? How long can the people’s endurance last?”

"This premise is meaningless. Dr. Huang Yuan has sacrificed his life, and we are already doing our best to do our best."

A rare quarrel broke out in the Political Affairs Council meeting room. After the quarrel subsided, Shen Qingyuan looked at Commissioner Donald: "How is Mo Xiangsheng doing now?"

Donald struggled in his mind for a moment, and finally decided to report the matter about Han Yue privately. This not only involves the head of state, but also involves another political councilor, Han Luochang.

Han Yue is Han Luochang's only daughter. No father could tolerate such humiliation. Although Mo Xiangsheng is a genius, he is also a madman. Who knows what a madman could do?

"According to experts from the Capital No. 1 Mental Hospital, Mo Xiangsheng's mental state has not improved. They are working hard."

"Let them speed up the progress. If Mo Xiangsheng is cured as soon as possible, we can save social wealth that may reach tens of trillions of human coins. This is related to the fate of the entire civilization. This is not a medical mission, but a political mission .”

The so-called political mission means doing whatever it takes and regardless of the consequences. But Donald kept smiling bitterly in his heart: "If the head of state knew that this incident involved Han Yue, would he still make this decision?"

After Zhao Yang and Laird, the remaining committee members also made their own reports, and the meeting finally ended after an hour. The other committee members left with different expressions, while Zhao Yang and Donald stayed.

Donald entered the head of state's office first and told the head of state about Han Yue and Mo Xiangsheng. He also informed the head of state that experts from the First Mental Hospital had already conducted tests and found that virtual images and robots were useless. At this stage, they were already looking for Someone whose appearance and temperament are similar to Han Yue.

Donald didn't have any suggestions or inclinations. He just told the story in a declarative tone.

Shen Qingyuan was silent, while Donald carefully observed the changes in the head of state's expression.

According to current universal values, no one person is nobler than another. If it is imperative to cure Mo Xiangsheng, or to at least partially return Mo Xiangsheng to normal, so that he can participate in the messenger plan to avoid additional sacrifices and waste, then it would be necessary to sacrifice Han Yue, or sacrifice another person with the same temperament and appearance as Han Yue. For people with similar moons, there is no difference in price. Even for economic reasons, it was most appropriate to sacrifice Han Yue. After all, Han Yue is here, and looking for someone else will involve many uncertain risks.

But at the same time, Donald also knew that Shen Qingyuan was not a saint. He is just an ordinary human being. And as long as it is an ordinary human being, it is impossible not to have emotional tendencies.

Shen Qingyuan was silent for a long time, and Donald continued to wait silently. After a long time, Shen Qingyuan finally said: "Let's try to find a suitable replacement first."

Donald said respectfully: "Yes, Head of State."

"Please keep it confidential, especially Han Luochang, don't let Han Luochang know about it."

Shen Qingyuan's voice seemed a little abnormal. Donald was startled, turned to look at Shen Qingyuan, and found that Shen Qingyuan's face was a little distorted.
