The Wandering Planet

After visiting the research results of the Central Academy of Sciences and getting the Falcon-style combat armor from Luo Yun, Qiao Lu went back and exchanged for the special research project [Anti-Material Production I].

From the introduction of President Zhang Bin, this should be the most urgent technical problem to be solved at present.

With the technology of [Antimatter Production I], the production of antimatter on Wandering Earth has increased from 4 grams per month to 20 grams per month. The 500% increase is already quite amazing, and it is enough to alleviate the problem of insufficient antimatter production. .

Qiao Lu's civilization points have also been reduced to only 4545 points in one go, which is not enough to exchange for any other technology.

In this way, what he needs to do is almost done, and then wait for the wandering earth to reach the next world.

However, things did not go as Qiao Lu wished. Just when he thought he could rest well, another major event happened on the wandering earth.

Although it is a major event, it is not an accident, but a global regional congress held by a coalition government.

As we all know, the highest decision-making level of the coalition government is the permanent council composed of permanent directors, but this does not mean that there are no other directors.

However, in order to distinguish them from the permanent director representatives, these other director representatives are generally referred to as regional representatives, such as the German regional representative, the Canadian regional representative, the Japanese regional representative and so on.

Regional representatives do not have a veto power, nor do they usually participate in the discussions of the Permanent Council.

But they also usually submit proposals to the permanent council, and they will discuss the future development direction of Wandering Earth at the annual global regional congress.

If the permanent council could not reach a consensus on the [internal assimilation] agreement, it is most likely to put this agenda on the global regional congress.

Of course, the best result is not to do this, because the content of the global regional congress is open to the global public, and this news alone may cause division of mankind.

And this time, the key agenda of the global regional congress is whether human beings should return to life on the ground and resume normal economic activities.

In Qiao Lu's view, there is no choice for such a problem. Since there are conditions to return to the ground, then human civilization should return to the ground to develop.

Racial characteristics control nature, and the introduction of Pandora creatures to improve the earth's environment are all preparations for the return of human civilization to the ground. How can they continue to shrink in dungeons when the conditions are ripe?

The narrow living space of the underground city, lack of sunlight and fresh air, all hinder the development of human civilization, how can we give up the development plan of returning to the ground?

However, many regional representatives have completely different ideas from Qiao Lu.

"Currently human civilization is still in a very dangerous situation, and the crisis brought about by the crossing of the earth is really unpredictable. Survival is the first need of civilization, so rather than returning to the ground for development, we should ensure the continuation of human civilization. In contrast, a dungeon is undoubtedly a safer place to live, and it has strong resilience in the face of various natural disasters.”

This kind of escapism did not attract many people's attention at first, but it was pushed to a climax after a regional representative cited an example to give evidence, and it dominated the overall discussion direction of the conference.

This is what the regional representative said: "Imagine, if in the last mechanical disaster, our people were not living in dungeons but on the ground, how many casualties would we have suffered? Is it still capable of protecting the planetary engine under the obstacles?"

"Our civilization has escaped death. We should be grateful for this and continue this correct policy. There is an old saying in China - existence is everything,

All for existence! Survival should be our top priority, and the return to the ground should be carried out in safer conditions. "

Undoubtedly, such an opinion is also very persuasive.

Before crossing, human civilization was faced with a crisis of life and death. After crossing, especially in the recent Battle of Cybertron, human civilization was once again faced with a disaster, and it was difficult to rely on saturated rescue to survive.

In this case, of course, there are many people who are reluctant to give up the safer dungeon and return to the surface to develop again.

Everything is for the continuation of human civilization, what a high-sounding reason, it really makes people feel irrefutable.

In such an atmosphere, more and more regional representatives began to agree to such a strategic approach.

"We really shouldn't be back on the ground if we don't have to."

"Human civilization can develop just as well underground, so why does it have to go back to the ground?"

"We have once abandoned the ground and chose the underground as the living space of human civilization. In this case, there is no need to change our minds."

"From the beginning of the Wandering Earth plan, we have decided that humans will live underground for 2,500 years. It's only been less than a hundred years, and we can't stand living in a dungeon?"

More and more echoing voices appear, and the mainstream trend of thought in the conference is constantly developing towards this kind of escapism.

Of course, there are also people who try to stand up to save the situation, and put forward a rational plan that can use the surface as a living place and the underground city as a refuge.

But these were all dismissed by the reason that human beings may cause more casualties during the process of refuge. It is not an easy task to send all 3.5 billion into the dungeon, and the refuge plan cannot completely solve the concerns of these people.

After going through the Wandering Earth Project, the belief in their hearts is that everything is for the continuation of human civilization, not everything for the development of human civilization.

In considering future strategic directions, these regional representatives will naturally tend to be conservative.

There is a big gap between this and the idea of ​​Qiao Lu, a traveler. After all, his thinking is still stuck in the era of "being backward will be beaten, and development is the last word".

In the words of Wandering Earth, it was the golden age of mankind—the pre-solar age.

But now, they are already the people who escape the era of the Wandering Earth plan, and of course they will have different mainstream ideas from Qiao Li.

However, Qiao Lu does not think that he is wrong. It is true that survival is the first need of civilization, but if we simply strive for survival, can human civilization really continue?

Existence is everything, everything is for existence.

This sentence is Yan Xishan's life creed, but the regime he established did not exist to the end as he wished.

Is it really the right thing to do?
