Volume 1 Beyond the Stars Chapter 3 Speeches

Zhang Wangxi saw that his hands were on fire, his hands shook in fright, his body leaned back under the conditioned reflex, and his feet were tripped by the stones on the ground, and suddenly an "old man drilled into the quilt" and sat on the ground.

Surprised more than panicked, Zhang Wangxi didn't know how he knew how to "magic", and with a snap of his fingers, he actually shot out a flame. Shaking his head and rubbing his face, Zhang Wangxi quickly recovered from the panic, raised his hand to look at his fingers, and there was nothing unusual.

"Smack!", another snap of his fingers, Zhang Wangxi wanted to see what was going on with the flame, but this time nothing happened.

"Bang, bang, bang......" snapped his fingers several times in a row, Zhang Wangxi's hand hurt and there was no flame.

Zhang Wangxi began to be puzzled, and said to himself: "Could it be a hallucination just now?" That's right, maybe I think too much, and I am cold and hungry and hallucinate. But then he overturned his thoughts, no, it wasn't like an illusion that was so real just now.

By the way, how did it happen just now, Zhang Wangxi thought back to the situation just now, and slowly stood up and returned to his original position: "First of all, I really wanted to build a fire to keep warm, and then I found that there was no fire, so I was very disappointed and wanted to leave." While muttering and repeating the action just now, Zhang Wangxi took off the backpack and put it on his back, and then turned around: "Well, at this time, I think that if I were a magician, I could light the fire with a snap of my fingers." ”

"Smack!" snapped his fingers, and a flame instantly appeared on Zhang Wangxi's finger.

"Wow Ou, Wow Ou, Wow Ou!" Zhang Wangxi did not panic this time, but instead was full of excitement, his mouth screamed strangely and his eyes widened to carefully observe the candle-like flame on his fingers, but after looking at it for a long time, he felt that this was an ordinary flame swaying with a slight cold wind, as if there was nothing special.

Moving his fingers, the small flame shook with the movement of his fingers and almost went out, Zhang Wangxi quickly stopped his movements and slowly put his fingers on the most leeward place behind the stone. Stretching out two fingers of his other hand, Zhang Wangxi took his fingers back and moved towards the small flame.

"Why isn't it hot?" Zhang Wangxi was shocked, and slowly put his two fingers on the flame, and he really couldn't feel any heat at all.

"Fake fire?" Zhang Wangxi grew so big, he had never seen this kind of flame that didn't heat up.

Well, if you can't burn yourself, what about other things? Looking down at the small pile of firewood collected just now, Zhang Wangxi slowly squatted down, his fingers reaching under the pyre.

Burnt yellow, blackened, smoking, and then "Teng", the dry firewood and grass burst into flames, and then "crackled and peeled" and burned, and the beating flames reflected Zhang Wangxi's young face.

It's not fake, it's real fire!

Two years of negligence went from bad to worse.

First of all, the intensity of the "abnormal solar radiation" has become greater, and now even if you go out at night, your skin will feel uncomfortable, and you can even get injured if you go out for too long. This is not to say how high the temperature is, it is only a few degrees higher than before the appearance of "abnormal solar radiation", and it stands to reason that human beings can fully bear it. But in fact, 'it' is completely unreasonable, as if it appeared to destroy all the animals and plants on this planet. Now all the plants in the wild are yellow and discolored, and it is estimated that they will not sprout again next year, and the surviving animals are all dying, and I don't know how many more days they can survive. Fortunately, the Human Alliance has foreseen this situation for a long time and has preserved the embryos of various creatures, and if humans can survive, they should also be reborn.

The construction of the starship was in an orderly manner, because the current situation had been predicted in advance, the huge dock in space had taken anti-radiation measures at the beginning of construction, and now a huge reflective umbrella surface was erected in front of the dock to shield the radiation from the sun as much as possible.

Fearing that one day hiding in the house would kill them from the intense radiation, the Coalition news was broadcast live 24 hours a day to report on the progress of the "escape plan" at the urging of many coalition citizens. The Human Alliance officially said that the assembly of the starship has been completed and can be used after simple commissioning.

The people of the "Planet-Shifting God Cult" have stopped a lot now, and they no longer march in the streets, and even their Pope has not been on the news for a long time.

On December 10, 1112, people who went out at night found that palm-wide black bands hung down in the air in the park in the center of the city, followed by military vehicles driving up, and groups of heavily armed soldiers jumped on the vehicles, and the soldiers relied on the vehicles to form a huge encirclement to surround the belts hanging from the air, and forbade anyone to come forward. Then, another truck came in and left after unloading a lot of huge elevator cars. Everyone who saw this realized one thing: the time was up!

At 0:00 on December 11th, a rolling announcement appeared on the screen of the smart terminal that was opened.

Announcement of the Human Alliance: All citizens please note that tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, the Speaker of the Alliance, Mr. Peter Rove, will make an important announcement. Suddenly, everyone was boiling, and people knew that the time had come!

Dec. 11, 7 a.m.

The screen of the smart terminal was black at first, and then a gray-haired white old man appeared on the screen, as a regular guest of the news program, most people recognized him, it was the first speaker of the parliament of the Human Alliance, Peter Rove.

"Hello Union citizens, I'm Peter Rove.

I'm sure many of you have guessed what I'm going to release this time, and that's right! Our three starships have all been installed and commissioned, and are on standby at the airport, ready to set sail at any time. I believe that these three new generations of 'Noah's Ark' will definitely take all of us 1981061368 to that new home 137.842 light years away.

This is a victory for all the starship builders, a victory for all those involved in the Escape Project, and a victory for all of humanity. ”

After a slight pause, Pyotroff spoke again: "As we all know, the intensity of solar radiation is now so strong that it is difficult for the human body to bear, and this intensity continues to increase, and the ground is no longer suitable for any living thing. As early as a few years ago, there were many voices in society that human beings could move underground, that the deep crust could block any radiation, that they could also move to planets a little farther away from the sun, that distance could greatly weaken those harmful radiations, and that the feasibility and success rate were much higher than those of the 'escape plan'. At the time, the coalition government did not give a positive answer, and now I can tell you that it is impossible! Because the end of the 'solar anomaly radiation' is not just an intensification, as some people think, but a burst after reaching a limit! Then, there will be no more, and the whole solar system will cease to exist. According to the research calculations of the Alliance Academy of Sciences, there are only 10-15 years left for the outbreak to occur, and the results of this research have been placed on the desk of the speaker as early as the beginning of the 'solar anomalous radiation', and the reason why it has not been released to the general public is that the alliance does not want to cause panic too early. After knowing that the sun was coming to the end of her life, we had no choice but to leave, so we had an 'escape plan'. ”

The audience in front of the screen opened their mouths one by one, thinking that the current situation was bad enough, but they didn't expect that this was just a prelude, and the final result turned out to be the destruction of the solar system!

I am very glad that we completed all the preparations for the 'Escape Plan' before the Sun really broke out, and now I announce the official launch of the 'Escape Operation'! Please refer to a big media report for the specific details, and the full 6 million pages of the 'Escape Plan' report will also be published on the official website of the Alliance, and those who are interested can watch it for themselves. Thank you all, and I wish our human race a safe journey!"

After the speech, the image of Peter Rove disappeared from the screen, and the details of "Escape Operation" appeared on the screen.

Zhang Wangxi's family of five gathered in front of the screen to watch the action rules word by word, for fear of missing something. In fact, the detailed rules are not complicated, but they are only a few hundred words, but the meaning behind these hundreds of words really makes people have to pay attention to them.

After watching it three times, Zhang Wangxi sat back on the sofa, and the rest of the family confirmed that they understood the announcement on the screen, and everyone looked at each other with a solemn face.

Zhang Zhiyuan took out a pipe from his pocket and rolled it in the tobacco box on the table a few times, then slowly pressed the tobacco with his thumb, raised his head and said, "Everyone understands." ”

"Well, I see, Grandpa. ”

"I see it, it's my swim...... Forget it, it's fine!"

"Each person can only bring no more than one kilogram of carry-on items, too little!"

"It's a pity that my dowry was supposed to be given to my future granddaughter-in-law. ”

"It's good to understand, starting at 12 o'clock at midnight today, a total of 15 days, the city has a population of about 3 million, that is to say, those space elevators have to transport an average of 200,000 people a day, and the pressure should not be too large, so don't be too anxious, think about what to bring first, there is no need to make up that kilogram, just keep a thought." Also, don't go out during this time, try to stay together as a family, and say goodbye to friends and relatives through the Internet. Xiaoxi, you and your father are responsible for watching the real-time live broadcast of the space elevator, and if we see fewer people climbing the ladder, we will set off. Xuemei, you look at the news, and if there is any special situation, notify in time. Wife, if you have a bad heart, remember to bring medicine, so you must rest well. Zhang Zhiyuan arranged it in one breath, and then lit the pipe and took a hard puff.

"Okay, got my dad (grandpa)!"

"Hmm. ”

Looking at the time, there are still a few hours before it reaches zero o'clock, Zhang Zhiyuan continued: "There are still a few hours, you guys go and get busy first, and gather in the zero hour living room." ”

Zhang Wangxi was at a loss, and Shi Shiran returned to his room. He didn't have any opinion on the implementation of the "escape operation", but he brought something with him, raised his eyes and swept the whole room, a very standard "bachelor" configuration: beds, bedding, tables, chairs, wardrobes, smart terminal receivers, and there seemed to be nothing to bring.

"Forget it, let's bring something for mom and grandma. Zhang Wangxi quickly made a decision.

"Who do you say hello to, relatives? The elders just go to say hello, cousins? It doesn't seem to be necessary, after all, there is not much interaction in ordinary times. Well, I really don't have any friends Zhang Wangxi, most of my peers are immersed in various games, and it's really rare to run the library every day like myself, so it's strange to make friends. Zhang Wangxi complained about his social circle and decided to go out to see if there was anything he could do to help.
