Earth Era

Zhao Huasheng's body shook slightly.

The brightness of Mars has not diminished before. This also means that the radiation levels on the other side of the sun have not diminished either. And now Mars is dimming...

Meng Zhuo's words are still in Zhao Huasheng's mind: "But the scientific research department decided to still send the Thunderstorm Mercury probe to the other side of the sun. After all, the other side of the sun has a short time to weaken. They hope to find some clues from there. "

"Okay. The whole sun is covered." Zhao Huasheng sighed, "How is the sun today?"

"It's not getting better. The level of solar radiation is still decreasing." Mondro shook his head.

"If...if the level of solar radiation has been decreasing, to the point that even the equator is too cold for human survival, what will we do? What will happen to our civilization?" Zhao Huasheng said hurriedly, as if he was out of breath. Same.

Meng Zhuo glanced at Zhao Huasheng: "The equatorial project is a project on the bright side, and the government is still secretly presiding over the "City of Life" plan. The City of Life plan will build a completely enclosed huge city in a geologically stable place , in order to prevent the extreme low temperature and various bad weather that may be brought about by the sharp reduction of solar radiation levels. Even if the sun is completely extinguished, the earth's atmosphere will all be turned into solid and fall to the ground, because of the thick shell and defense system. For protection, the city of life does not have to worry about being damaged by various harmful rays and asteroid impacts in the universe, as well as the vacuum and low temperature environment."

"The city of life...how many people can it hold?"

"It will not exceed two million people at most. The Ministry of Science and Technology has already made an assessment. Because of the extreme difficulty in obtaining energy on the earth after the end of the day, if the population exceeds two million people, we will store as much energy and food as possible. It can last no more than ten years. And ten years...is the minimum expected time for a breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology."

"What about the rest? That's a population of nearly seven billion..." Zhao Huasheng muttered. In fact, Zhao Huasheng already had the answer in his heart, but the answer was so cruel that Zhao Huasheng didn't even dare to think about it.

But this answer, which Zhao Huasheng didn't dare to think about, came out of Meng Zhuo's mouth gently and skillfully. Meng Zhuo's tone still did not change at all, as if he was saying "I drank a bowl of noodles today".

"Death." Meng Zhuo spat out the word lightly, "We have no choice."

"Tell me, everyone, who can qualify to enter the City of Life..." Zhao Huasheng asked tremblingly.

"The elites in human society." Mengzhuo's tone was still flat, "Only the elites can pass on human civilization. They can be successful businessmen - they can be successful and they have already demonstrated their excellence; Politicians of high power... Don't deny that human society would collapse completely without leaders, as well as scientists, engineers, researchers of various human disciplines, and outstanding artists such as musicians, painters, singers, calligraphers, etc. They will be the main force in inheriting the technology and culture of human beings. In short, only the most outstanding people can get the pass to the city of life. Of course, these outstanding people also include you and me. Even if you do not have the special status at the moment, with you With the knowledge of stellar physicists, you are also qualified to enter the city of life."

"In addition, there will be various creatures on the earth, chickens, ducks, geese, tigers, leopards, and various plant seeds. After all, if the sun returns to normal one day in the future, let human beings You can go back to the outside world. Without all kinds of animals and plants, human beings will be very difficult to survive... There will also be various works of art, various treasures, etc. in human culture, which will be preserved in the city of life. Crisis Center Forces have been dispatched to preliminarily determine the candidates and collect various animal specimens and art collections. After all... If it is really determined that the equator is no longer suitable for human survival, then it will be too late to do this work..."

"Of course... this is just the worst-case scenario. Personally, I hope the situation will improve, and I hope that everything they do is useless." Meng Zhuo said indifferently.

Zhao Huasheng's body was shaking uncontrollably.

"You are very thoughtful and comprehensive... You have thought about everything, even the preservation of works of art and taxidermy, but you alone have not thought about our kind, they are all our kind! Seven billion of the same kind!" Zhao Huasheng shouted these words in his throat. Zhao Huasheng's eyes flashed red, as if he was a man-eating beast.

But Meng Zhuo remained calm, as if he did not see Zhao Huasheng's emotional changes. Meng Zhuo glanced at Zhao Huasheng again: "I said, you don't have to choose. You have to make such a choice. You should let go of your eyes from a single individual and observe from the overall level. Question. I ask you, if the situation is really at its worst, and the city of life can only accommodate two million people, it is up to you to make the decision, who will you choose to be eligible to enter the city of life?"

"You choose ordinary people? But even if these two million people are all ordinary people, there are still nearly seven billion people who cannot be qualified to survive. Since everyone is elected, why not choose outstanding people? An outstanding person who can better pass on human civilization?"

Zhao Huasheng wanted to refute, but he didn't know what to say. Meng Zhuo's words seem to make a lot of sense... Since everyone is chosen, why not choose outstanding people? From the point of view of maximizing profits, it is indeed the most sensible way to choose outstanding people to enter the city of life. For human beings as a whole, the benefits that outstanding people can get by surviving are undoubtedly much higher than ordinary people.

"Also... In the planning of the city of life, outstanding people only account for one million places, and the remaining one million is reserved for ordinary people." Mengzhuo said, "In the great migration to the equator, Each person will have a little blood drawn from the gene bank under the Ministry of Scientific Research to analyze their genes. These gene data will be aggregated in the database, and the next step of genetic screening will be carried out. Those with disease-causing genes will be eliminated. Those with genes will be eliminated, and those with excellent genes will be selected. In the next step, these ordinary people with excellent survival genes will be further screened, those with specific skills and those in prime age will enter the next round of screening, and then combine The final round of screening will be carried out on the data of the total population structure of the City of Life and the gender ratio of men and women. One million ordinary people will be selected in the end.”

"Then, apart from the 2 million people who entered the City of Life, the remaining 7 billion people can only choose to die in the low temperature and severe cold...?" Zhao Huasheng murmured.

"That's right." Meng Zhuo nodded.

Zhao Huasheng took a deep breath, then turned his head and turned his attention to the long street that had become somewhat deserted. The implementation of the equatorial project has almost brought immediate results, making this once prosperous big city deserted in an instant. But even so, there are still some people on the street.

Zhao Huasheng saw a couple walking by holding hands. Although it was a summer night, both of them had already put on trousers and long shirts because of the cold weather. After walking a distance, the man in the couple lowered his head and whispered a few words in the girl's ear, then took off the jacket he was wearing and put it on the girl gently.

Under the man's jacket is a simple two-strand tight vest. Beneath the tight vest are his visibly strong muscles. The girl stopped and put her eyes on the man's chest, her eyes full of tenderness. She looked at the man's chest, as if she saw the whole world and the support.

The girl turned around and hugged the man tightly, and the man also hugged the girl. The two snuggled closely together, as if there was no force between heaven and earth that could separate them.

But Zhao Huasheng knew what power could separate them. If a man is selected and the girl is not selected in the genetic selection, or the girl is selected and the man is not selected, or both are not selected...

Something in Zhao Huasheng's heart seemed to be touched. UU reading www.uukanshu. com Zhao Huasheng suddenly couldn't bear to watch this couple.

"They probably don't know their situation yet... If the level of solar radiation does not improve, and if the City of Life plan is really to be implemented, what kind of cruel future will greet them?"

"If the situation is really at its worst... Like this couple, how many people in this world will fall into a miserable situation? Among these people, there may be husband and wife, father and son, and Siblings, friends, lovers…”

"Actually, to a certain extent, their fate is also in your hands." Meng Zhuo seemed to see through what Zhao Huasheng was thinking. Just when Zhao Huasheng's heart was up and down, Meng Zhuo's words floated into Zhao Huasheng ear.

"In my hands?" Zhao Huasheng muttered.

"That's right." Meng Zhuo said, "If Director Li Qi really knows the way to solve the problem, and you really solve the puzzle left by Li Qi, then... each of us doesn't have to face this most difficult problem. Cruel choices. Lovers, couples, fathers and sons, brothers and sisters, friends... all do not have to be separated, all do not have to die."

"I understand, let's go, let's go back." Zhao Huasheng nodded, then turned around and left. Meng Zhuo followed Zhao Huasheng. With Meng Zhuo's eyesight, he could clearly see that Zhao Huasheng's black hair was mixed with some white. And Mengzhuo remembered very clearly that these whites were not available yesterday.
