Although they have come to Diego Garcia many times in the past few years, Zhang Xiaogang and Luo Jinyong have no nostalgia for this island.

The filthy things that happened here cannot be described in words.

In this regard, Luo Jinyong is deeply touched.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Scientific Advisory Committee, Luo Jinyong was sharp, and he fought on the basis of reason when he encountered any problem, and was often said by Zhang Xiaogang to be brave and unscrupulous. At the beginning, Luo Jinyong scoffed at Zhang Xiaogang's criticism, believing that a commissioner like Zhang Xiaogang, who was good at playing tricks, was not qualified to participate in the great cause of saving human civilization. At that time, Luo Jinyong's ideal believed that in the face of a common existential crisis, all countries would abandon their past grievances, jointly meet unprecedented existential challenges, and take it as their responsibility to defend the right to survival of human civilization.

Luo's first suggestion to the Scientific Advisory Board was to admit more members, at least all industrial countries, especially India, Brazil, South Africa, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Mexico, and Egypt, which are more economically developed, or have large populations, or have abundant resources, or have strong political influence, to join the Planetary Defense Council.

This proposal was not taken seriously at all and was not even brought to a meeting of the chiefs of the General Staff for discussion.

When the Doomsday Force project was established, Luo Jinyong suffered its first serious setback.

Because it was Luo Jinyong who took the lead in proposing to use the high technology that he had mastered and the advanced technology that could achieve applicable capabilities in a short period of time to create a weapon and equipment that could greatly improve the combat capability of the army and use it to arm and defend the military strength of human civilization, according to the management of the Scientific Advisory Committee, Luo Jinyong would become the general person in charge of this project and the chief engineer of the Doomsday Warrior System. It is a pity that after the ten chiefs of the general staff bargained, Luo Jinyong only received the title of deputy chief engineer, and the subsystem developed by him directly responsible for the development was only the nerve center control unit, and the title of chief engineer was worn on Burke's head.

Although Luo Jinyong didn't care about fame, he felt that this arrangement was very unfair.

In addition, Luo Jinyong's proficient and proficient disciplines have nothing to do with the central control unit, and he does not have much knowledge in this area.

If the task is arranged by expertise, Luo Jinyong should be responsible for the development of polymer nano-carbon fibers.

Don't forget, Luo Jinyong is engaged in the research of polymer materials and nanotechnology in China, and has published a number of papers related to it in international authoritative academic journals.

For this reason, Luo Jinyong was depressed for a while.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaogang is not only an excellent agent, but also has a strong ability to do ideological work for others.

Under Zhang Xiaogang's guidance, Luo Jinyong cheered up, and also understood what it meant to be "brave and unstrategic", and saw the true face of the Planetary Defense Council.

Of course, with Luo Jinyong's mind, it is impossible not to see the fundamental problem.

Intrigue and even mutual calculations are not uncommon in the Planetary Defense Council, and the root cause is not the problem of one member or all member states, nor is the root cause of human civilization, but time, that is, just two years is simply not enough for the fragmented human civilization to form a big family without gaps, let alone the integration of ten countries that have been fighting for decades, centuries, or even thousands of years.

If it were 20 years, not two, that were left for humanity, perhaps the 10 member states would strive for great reunification.

It's a pity that there are only two short years left for the human organization to defend together.

To put it another way, it is not easy for the ten most powerful countries to close most of the gaps in two years and let go of grievances that have not been resolved for decades.

In order to maintain the Planetary Defense Council, all ten countries have made great sacrifices and concessions.

Most notably, 10 countries supported Operation Courage, and not only did the five nuclear powers produce all their nuclear warheads, but the other five countries also surrendered all their nuclear materials, and even Israel handed over 50 nuclear warheads that were secretly produced and nuclear materials that could make 500 nuclear warheads.

Although all ten countries have their eyes on the future, this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall is definitely not simple.

At the time of the launch of the Courage Project, nuclear weapons were the main force used by China and Russia to counterbalance the United States because of the huge gap in conventional military capabilities.

It's just that these cooperation cannot eliminate all the contradictions between the ten countries.

The United States intends to consolidate its position as the number one power by resisting the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations, China and Russia hope to take this opportunity to surpass the United States and at least equal to the United States, Britain wants to strengthen its alliance with the United States, France and Germany hope to achieve great European reunification, Japan vainly tries to make other countries recognize its identity and status as a world power, Australia and Canada hope to have a greater say in the world in the future, and Israel's purpose is to consolidate its hegemony in the Middle East and expand the living space of the Jews.

Where there is desire, there is also contradiction, and where there is contradiction, friction and conflict are indispensable.

Over the past two years, the Council for Planetary Defense has experienced several crises of splinters, but all of them have been resolved through compromise or shelved contradictions.

With more than twenty days to go until Judgment Day, could it be that the Planetary Defense Council will die at this time?

Luo Jinyong was a little sorry, but he knew that no matter what the result was, he couldn't do anything. He was only a scientist, and the decision-making power was in the hands of politicians and military personnel.

At times, Luo Jinyong wants scientists to lead the Planetary Defense Council.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking, and Luo Jinyong also knows that this idea is very ridiculous.

There is a famous saying that science has no borders, but scientists have a homeland.

In this world, there are no pure scientists.

What happened to the Scientific Advisory Board, especially the clash between the three schools of thought, shows that there is no essential difference between scientists and politicians. If scientists are allowed to hold real power, the results will not be much better, and professors like Burke will definitely turn into politicians.

A politician once said that as long as there are three people, there is a political relationship.

After the transport plane took off, Luo Jinyong didn't think about it anymore. Regardless of whether he will return to Diego Garcia or not, no matter what the fate of mankind is, Luo Jinyong at least has a clear conscience. In these two years, he has contributed all his ingenuity and talents, and has done what many people, even other top scientists, cannot do in a lifetime, and has used all his efforts to fight for the right and opportunity to survive for mankind. Luo Jinyong believes that if mankind has a future, he can at least get a place in the history of human civilization, even if it is just a brief biography.

Zhang Xiaogang went to the cabin, came back after a while, and walked straight towards Luo Jinyong.

"Professor, in a bad mood?" Zhang Xiaogang has a pair of eyes that can perceive everything. "Was it a chick who took her soul away and worried that she would never see her again?"

"No, I'm not interested in female colleagues." Luo Jinyong didn't want to joke with Zhang Xiaogang.

"That's it, it's okay for you to deceive Lao Chu. Don't forget, the schoolgirl from the beginning......"

"Fart!" Luo Jinyong came to the fire, "If you have a fart, let it go, don't bother me if you don't fart." ”

"Yes, you're a tiger, you can't touch your ass." Zhang Xiaogang didn't think so, his skin was really thick enough. "Professor, do you have a fear of heights?"

"What?" Luo Jinyong thought he had misheard.

"Fear of heights."

"Nope."

"That's good." Zhang Xiaogang beckoned Chu Tianjiang over, "Help the professor put on the parachute, and then tell him how to use it." ”

"Going skydiving?" Chu Tianjiang took off the umbrella bag hanging on the bulkhead.

"No, just do as I tell you."

"What the hell is going on?" Luo Jinyong was also a little puzzled. He learned to skydive before joining the Scientific Advisory Board.

"I'll tell you later, let's get ready."

At this time, Chu Tianjiang and Luo Jinyong both sensed that the transport plane was slowing down. By the time Luo Jinyong put on his umbrella bag, Zhang Xiaogang and the crew had already rigged the luggage they carried, especially the container where the Doomsday Warrior system was placed, and then the tail hatch of the transport plane opened.

Telling Chu Tianjiang to be optimistic about Luo Jinyong, Zhang Xiaogang and a crew member walked to the hatch.

Seeing what Zhang Xiaogang was holding, Chu Tianjiang understood. They weren't going to parachute, they were going to move to another plane.

It was a rope gun fired with high-pressure air!

At this time, a Y-20A without any markings on the fuselage appeared a few thousand meters behind, flying almost a hundred meters lower.

Two hundred meters above the transport plane, there was also an Air China A-340 passenger plane.

Seeing this battle, Chu Tianjiang understood.

The transport plane flew so close to the flight for only one purpose: to avoid being detected by the radar of the US military.

Obviously, the transport plane they took arrived at the meeting point of the international route, and it would not take them more than five minutes to transfer.

The transport plane behind him approached about 500 meters, and Zhang Xiaogang shot out the anchor hook with the rigging with a rope gun.

The anchor hook hit exactly two meters behind the hatch on the left side of the transport plane, and the flight attendant standing inside the hatch used a hook to pull the steel cable in.

Next, the two transport planes had to remain relatively stationary, and the range of movement should not be too large, otherwise the steel cables would be broken.

When the steel cable was tied, Zhang Xiaogang first asked the flight attendant to send the goods over.

"Lao Chu, you go over with the professor."

"What about you?" Chu Tianjiang fixed the pulley for Luo Jinyong. This is an aerial stunt that even special forces may not have, and Luo Jinyong is obviously the first time to do such a thing.

"I'm behind you, let's go."

Chu Tianjiang didn't ramble anymore, and after hanging the safety hook on the pulley, he slid out of the cabin with Luo Jinyong in his arms. Because the drag generated by the strong wind cancels out some of the gravity, the descent is not very fast. When they approached the hatch of the transport plane behind them, the flight attendant in charge of the response used a hook to pull the two inside.

Immediately after, Zhang Xiaogang slid over.

As soon as he stood firm, Zhang Xiaogang gestured to the flight attendant to cut the steel cable.

"Lao Zhang, where is the pilot?"

"Leave them alone." Zhang Xiaogang asked the flight attendant to close the cabin door. "If they're lucky, they'll be able to fly back. If you're unlucky, you'll have to swim around the sea. ”

"Are their lives in danger?"

"Don't worry, there's our submarine nearby. If the transport plane is attacked, they parachute and go to the port of Gwadar by submarine. ”

When Zhang Xiaogang said this, Chu Tianjiang felt a little relieved.

"You two come with me."
