When Chu Tianjiang and Luo Jinyong told what happened one by one, Zhang Xiaogang couldn't laugh.

"Lao Chu, I didn't expect to hurt you, I ......"

"Why does this hurt me, don't I live a good life?" Chu Tianjiang was used to frolicking with Zhang Xiaogang, and he didn't take Zhang Xiaogang's ridicule to heart.

Zhang Xiaogang sighed, his expression a little gloomy.

"By the way, why did you come back, Diego Garcia's side is over?" Luo Jinyong picked up a cigarette and lit one for Zhang Xiaogang first.

Chu Tianjiang also took a cigarette. Although his body has changed a lot, Chu Tianjiang eats and drinks as usual, no different from ordinary people.

"The Planetary Defense Council is finished."

"What?" Luo Jinyong looked a little surprised.

Chu Tianjiang also showed a look of surprise, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Japan has begun to provide relief to the victims of the disaster in Japan and provide humanitarian assistance to Japan in accordance with its commitments, but the US authorities are still secretive and unwilling to give a positive answer on the issue of Japan's state-owned assets. Mr. Yang has announced China's temporary withdrawal from the Planetary Defense Council, withdrawn China's personnel in Diego Garcia and other institutions of the Planetary Defense Council, and expelled the personnel arranged by other member states in China, leaving only a small number of liaison personnel at the headquarters of the Planetary Defense Council and in China's branches. ”

"This ......"

"Before I left Diego Garcia, Sergeyev announced that Russia would temporarily withdraw from the Planetary Defense Council, and I am afraid that it would not be long before France, Germany and Italy would also temporarily withdraw from the Planetary Defense Council. Even if Israel remains silent, the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia will still be united, and the Planetary Defense Council will exist in name only. Zhang Xiaogang took a few puffs of cigarette and said, "If the ten member states were at least able to get by on face before this, nominally striving for a goal, and cooperating more than fighting, then from today onwards, struggle will become the main theme." ”

"Warring States Period." Chu Tianjiang muttered.

"What?" Luo Jinyong didn't hear what Chu Tianjiang said clearly.

"Since the Age of Discovery, for hundreds of years, human civilization has been torn apart because there is no external threat and no serious existential crisis, and there are constant wars between countries and nations, and all countries and nations are attacking each other for their own interests. Although the Y celestial body has disappeared, the threat from extraterrestrial civilizations has not disappeared, and humanity may suffer a catastrophe at any time. Chu Tianjiang extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Outside is better than first, people in their right sense can realize that if human beings want to survive and reproduce, they must end this situation of constant strife. In order to fight a powerful extraterrestrial civilization, the Anthropocene realm must first achieve great unification. ”

Luo Jinyong nodded thoughtfully, Chu Tianjiang's words did make sense.

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said: "Such an esoteric question, even Lao Chu can understand it, and those high-ranking politicians must also understand it." ”

"Lao Zhang, don't think that I don't dare to beat you now." Chu Tianjiang shook his fist.

"We'll talk about things." Zhang Xiaogang didn't tease Chu Tianjiang anymore, and said with a smile, "But there is a question, do all those in power realize that the threat of extraterrestrial civilization still exists?" The Y object has disappeared, and although the sudden increase in the geomagnetic field gives us reason to believe that the Y object has entered the center of the earth, who would believe that extraterrestrial civilizations still pose a threat to us, and a mortal threat? ”

"This ......"

"You may not believe it, but I saw it with my own eyes. Not to mention politicians in power in various countries, even sober-minded scientists, few believe that the threat still exists. Before leaving Diego Garcia, Burke approached me and talked about some of his thoughts. ”

"What does he think?" Luo Jinyong immediately asked.

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said: "Burke said that the Hubble-2 telescope has not found any new threats, and our astronomical telescope covers all directions, and if an asteroid similar to 2014X1 appears, it will definitely be detected in time." The implication is that now is the time to sit back and relax. ”

"This ......"

"If extraterrestrial civilizations are ready to invade again, will they be stupid enough to repeat their old tricks? Besides, isn't the appearance of the Y celestial body enough to show the seriousness of the problem? Zhang Xiaogang lit another cigarette, "Scientists have this understanding, and the views of world leaders may be even more bizarre." Although I do not deny Lao Chu's point of view, in my opinion, talking about great reunification in the short term is just a fool's dream. Sooner or later, humanity will achieve great unification, but not now, nor in the near future, but in a long time away, at least in a few decades. ”

Luo Jinyong did not refute, Zhang Xiaogang is not a scientist, but his vision is above the other two.

"As the saying goes, the predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade. Even if the Anthropocene realm will not be unified until a few decades later, it will have to start now. ”

Zhang Xiaogang smiled and said, "This may be the fundamental reason why President Yang announced his withdrawal from the Planetary Defense Council. ”

Luo Jinyong was a little puzzled. "If President Yang's purpose is to promote the unification of the Anthropocene realm, wouldn't it be the opposite to withdraw from the Planetary Defense Council?"

"Do you think that the Planetary Defense Council will be the basis for unification?"

"This ......"

"Great unification is not about forming a loose union of nations, but about erasing national borders and bringing together all the nations and peoples of the planet. The Planetary Defense Council is just an international organization, and because it has to balance the various member states, there are many drawbacks that are difficult to eradicate before its birth, and some of them are fatal flaws. For example, under the framework of the Planetary Defense Council, the military forces of various countries are not integrated, and they still have absolute autonomy, and they only take joint actions in name, and there is no basic coordination and command. Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly and said, "After the Second World War, the Allies formed the United Nations. At that time, the people of the whole world believed that with the United Nations, the world would be peaceful and stable. The truth is that the United Nations is just a showpiece. Just as it is extremely absurd to expect the United Nations to maintain peace and stability in the world, it is extremely absurd to expect the Planetary Defense Council to realize the unification of mankind. ”

"The problem is, there's no need to bring down the Planetary Defense Council, right?"

"Professor, this sentence only proves that you are not a politician. What is the basis of the Great Unification? ”

"This ......"

"Negotiation, consultation, cooperation? Neither. It's strength, absolute national strength! "Zhang Xiaogang had already lit a third cigarette, and it seemed that he did not sleep on the way back to China." Although the current state will die one by one, the concept of 'state' will not die out, because we have learned that human beings are not the only intelligent beings in the universe. The essence of unification is to be promoted by a country, or a group of countries, and finally integrate the Anthropocene world under a single government, so that the entire Anthropocene world becomes a country. ”

"You're saying that unification can only be achieved through war?"

"Is there any other way?"

Luo Jinyong's expression darkened, he was a scientist, not a soldier.

Zhang Xiaogang sighed and said: "The process of great unification is actually to break the old interest system and establish a new interest system. To put it more bluntly, great unification will inevitably cause many people to lose their vested interests, and at the same time, more people will become new vested interests. The original vested interests will certainly not willingly give up the interests of possession, and the acquisition of interests will become the motivation of the new vested interests. Don't overestimate personal consciousness, in the face of group interests, personal consciousness is not even a fart. The old and new forces will not only not compromise, but will hit the head and bleed. Compromise is a no-brainer, and the only thing left is violence. ”

Luo Jinyong sighed, although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that Zhang Xiaogang's words went deep into the essence.

"Have you talked enough? It's noon, let's go eat. Chu Tianjiang stood up first.

"I'm hungry too, I don't know what the food here is like."

Zhang Xiaogang shook a few times when he stood up, Luo Jinyong just got up and sat down, and then the lights in the room flickered a few times and went out.

Enemy attack!?

Chu Tianjiang didn't feel any abnormality in his body, but he reacted quickly. "Climb down!"

"No...... Don't ......" Luo Jinyong held his head in his hands, looking very painful.

"What's the matter, my head hurts......" Zhang Xiaogang had already taken a few steps back and squatted against the wall.

"All...... Full-band ...... Electromagnetic strikes. Luo Jinyong curled up on the sofa, his voice became hoarse, and the person was painfully twisted into a ball.

Chu Tianjiang also sensed that everything around him was carrying static electricity.

After about two minutes, the static electricity disappeared, Zhang Xiaogang stood up against the wall, and Luo Jinyong lay on the sofa for a while before sitting up.

"Lao Chu, you're fine, right?"

"It's fine." Only then did Chu Tianjiang realize that the room was dark. Although he could see Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong clearly, the two of them couldn't see anything.

Chu Tianjiang activated the lighting system, illuminating the entire room.

"Professor......" Zhang Xiaogang walked to the sofa and helped Luo Jinyong up.

"I'm fine, it's just that my head hurts a little."

"What's going on?"

"After the Y celestial body enters the center of the earth, it releases energy to produce a full-band electromagnetic strike." Luo Jinyong explained simply and clearly. "Quick, let's go to Mr. Yang's."

The three of them did not hesitate, and immediately went to Yang Fanglie's office under the leadership of Chu Tianjiang.

On the way, they met Gao Mingming and Tian Minwen, scientists brought by Liu Zhanbo.

Although Luo Jinyong had already made an accurate prediction and mentioned that a full-band electromagnetic strike could come at any time, it had only been less than a day, and it was too fast.

What's next? Luo Jinyong was very worried, and could only hope that Yuan Dezhi had saved enough scientific research equipment.

Before arriving at Yang Fanglie's office, the base's backup lighting power was activated, indicating that some of the electrical and electronic equipment had indeed been preserved.

Yuan Dezhi had already arrived, and was anxiously waiting for Luo Jinyong and the others.

"What about Mr. Yang?"

"Inside, he told me to go to you." After Yuan Dezhi finished talking to Luo Jinyong, he nodded at Zhang Xiaogang, which was regarded as greeting Zhang Xiaogang.

Luo Jinyong was not wordy, and led everyone into Yang Fanglie's office.

This room was not very spacious in the first place, and with so many people coming at once, it suddenly seemed a little crowded.
