Time was pressing, and after the show, the Doomsday Force headed straight for LaGuardia Airport.

Next, the ten Doomsday Warriors will split up into three groups and head to Sydney, London, and Tel Aviv, where they will meet in Moscow after completing their performances.

The itinerary was arranged by Zhang Xiaogang, and the three people had to travel for at least eight hours, and at most fourteen hours of flight.

This arrangement is mainly to reduce the chances of contact between the Doomsday Force and the outside world, and at the same time allow the Doomsday Warriors to rest during their journey.

Although some people have proposed that after the Doomsday Force is exposed, the Doomsday Warriors should be allowed to have as much contact with the people as possible to enhance the people's self-confidence, but Zhang Xiaogang holds the opposite view, believing that covering the Doomsday Warriors with a mysterious veil of linen can have a more uplifting effect on the people. The reason is that the less the public knows about the Doomsday Warriors, the greater the expectations of the Doomsday Warriors, and they will invisibly pin their hopes on the Doomsday Warriors. For the more than 8 billion people in the world, hope is what they need most in the last few days before the day of judgment.

Even a slim hope is much better than despair after discovering the limitations and flaws of the Doomsday Warrior.

When Chu Tianjiang and Halevy boarded the A380 plane bound for Sydney, the White House spokesman set off the first round of climax outside the Empire State Building.

According to Zhang Xiaogang's arrangement, the "New York Show" will focus on the "strength" of the Doomsday Warriors.

The core of the New York show is to show the world that the Doomsday Warrior has superhuman strength, so as to lead to the Doomsday Warrior's ability to defeat the invaders.

The United States is a country that attaches great importance to the strength of the force, and the American people are more likely to accept public opinion propaganda related to the strength of the force.

It's just that Chu Tianjiang grabbed the split, which greatly reduced Aldrich's appearance rate. When the White House press spokesman held a press conference, Zhang Xiaogang had to temporarily adjust his propaganda strategy and increase the weight of the "alliance," that is, he emphasized the value of the Planetary Defense Council. Without this episode, the propaganda would have had Aldrich at its core, emphasizing the importance of American Doomsday Warriors.

Fortunately, the consequences were not serious.

Most journalists are concerned only with the combat effectiveness of the Doomsday Warriors, not the nationality of the Doomsday Warriors. In addition, Zhang Xiaogang handled it in a very timely manner, downplaying the nationality of the Doomsday Warrior and replacing various countries with the Planetary Defense Council, so that reporters could not talk about nationality.

More than two hours later, Fifth Avenue was lit up and the press conference ended.

The picture disappeared, and Zhang Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief.

The New York show wasn't perfect, but it turned out to be ideal. Real-time ratings from major television stations show that the show outside the Empire State Building attracts 78 percent of the world's audience, and in the United States it has a 94 percent rating, with nearly half a billion people watching the live show.

Ten hours later, the London show will be shown, followed by the Tel Aviv show and the Sydney show.

If all goes well, the attention of the global population will be on the Doomsday Warrior. A day later, when the public began to pay attention to other issues, the more shocking Moscow show will once again be the focus of public opinion in the world, and the Doomsday Warrior will once again be the star of the show.

At this time, the phone next to him rang, it was looking for Zhang Xiaogang's phone.

"Yes, I'm Zhang Xiaogang...... Okay, I'll come right over. Putting down the microphone, Zhang Xiaogang called several people who were responsible for assisting in the guidance of public opinion. Contact Moscow and get them ready. It is emphasized that it is necessary to show the defense capabilities of the Doomsday Warriors. ”

After arranging his work, Zhang Xiaogang left the communication center of the Security Affairs Liaison Office.

Unlike the Scientific Advisory Board, the Security Liaison Office is a very loose body, with separate personnel from each Member State and no unified operational body. After it was determined that Zhang Xiaogang was solely responsible for guiding public opinion, this communication center was temporarily set up.

It was none other than Luo Jinyong who called Zhang Xiaogang.

Zhang Xiaogang did not go to Luo Jinyong, but returned to his office and then connected to the video call. Attending the meeting were Luo Jinyong and Yang Fanglie, who was far away in Beijing. When Zhang Xiaogang joined, Luo Jinyong was explaining to Yang Fanglie the latest judgment he had made.

"Zhang Xiaogang, do you know what the professor said?"

"The professor told me." Zhang Xiaogang did not compete with Luo Jinyong, although he proposed to let Luo Jinyong report to Yang Fanglie after careful consideration.

"Professor, I trust your judgment, but we have no proof."

Luo Jinyong wanted to speak and stopped, probably having already mentioned this issue at the beginning, and failed to persuade Yang Fanglie to bring the matter to the meeting of the chief of general staff for discussion.

Zhang Xiaogang hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Yang, two years ago, we also encountered a similar problem. ”

"Two years ago?"

"It's about Operation Courage."

"This ......"

At the beginning, Burke and Zyuganov proposed to build a super nuclear warhead to deal with the 2014X1 asteroid, and the professor boldly proposed that the purpose of extraterrestrial civilization is not to destroy the earth, but to occupy the earth. As now, the professor could not produce evidence, that was only his speculation. As a result, after solving the technical problems of the super-nuclear warhead, the professor was not able to become the person in charge of the Courage Action project, but was even deprived of the right to participate. Now, two years later, is there anyone still doubting the professor's original speculation? ”

Yang Fanglie was silent, Zhang Xiaogang said the truth.

At that time, Luo Jinyong was high-spirited and very immature. After this unbelievable idea was born, he spoke out at the meeting of the chiefs of the general staff without consulting Zhang Xiaogang. Although Yang Fanglie and Zhang Xiaogang resisted left and right and did their best to support Luo Jinyong, Sergeyev also eased his attitude because of his relationship with Yang Fanglie, but under the strong suppression of Stark, Stokes and Takeuchi Jinwen, Yang Fanglie had to make a compromise, that is, let Luo Jinyong no longer interfere in scientific research projects related to Operation Courage.

"It's a pity that we don't have a second two-year yet."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Yang, have you thought about it? If two years ago, we agreed with the professor's speculation and deployed the defense project according to his guess, would this be the case now? ”

"This ......"

"What the enemy wants is the earth, if we have the courage to break the jade rather than the whole tile, and are ready to fight with the enemy to break the net and burn the jade, I'm afraid it will be ......" Zhang Xiaogang did not continue, because Yang Fanglie could not imagine what kind of result would appear.

Yang Fanglie pondered for a while and said, "So, do you believe the professor's speculation?" ”

"I have never doubted any of Professor Luo Jinyong's inferences and judgments."

Yang Fanglie let out a long breath and said, "Okay, let's think the professor's guess is correct for the time being, so what should we do?" ”

Obviously, it is not Zhang Xiaogang's turn to answer this question.

"If my guess is correct, the target of extraterrestrial civilizations is not only the earth, but also humans, and the first thing to do is to disarm humanity."

"Strike at our military power?"

"No!" Luo Jinyong replied very simply. "By military power, we mean only the amount of military power used in a fratricidal civil war. In the war between civilizations and civilizations, military power is not the same as the strength of armed forces, but is only a component of the strength of armed forces, and it is the most minor component. ”

"This ......"

"The huge gap in science and technology makes our military strength pose little threat to the enemy, and the Doomsday Warriors are no exception. It's like the best archers of primitive tribes can't deal with the most rudimentary armored vehicles, and primitive people who use stone axes as weapons can't understand the air force anyway. No matter how powerful the military power is in our eyes, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of extraterrestrial civilizations. ”

"So, we should give up resistance?"

Luo Jinyong smiled bitterly and said: "The current human beings are like a group of zebras that have been forced to the edge of the cliff by lions, do they die in the lion's mouth, or jump off the cliff?" ”

Yang Fanglie frowned, as if he didn't understand the meaning of this metaphor.

"Human beings are not livestock, human beings have intelligence, human beings have human beings. What will everyone do when living means becoming slaves to extraterrestrial civilizations forever? ”

"This ......"

"Perhaps, extraterrestrial civilizations will create a heavenly dream and make the vast majority of people willing to fall, but there must be some people who will choose to resist or even choose to self-destruct." Luo Jinyong paused for a moment and said, "If nothing else, at least the three of us will choose to resist, choose to self-destruction in times of despair, or even destroy the entire human race." In fact, humanity has always possessed the ability to self-destruct, and even after using up nuclear weapons, it still has the technical means to completely wipe out humanity in a short period of time. ”

"Genetic weapons?"

Luo Jinyong nodded and said, "Perhaps, with the technical means of extraterrestrial civilization, some people can survive, but it will take hundreds of years to reach the current population size. Even if it is solved in a technical way, it will cost a lot of resources. For extraterrestrial civilizations, this is clearly not the most desirable outcome. ”

"That is, extraterrestrial civilizations will certainly manage to prevent humanity from destroying itself."

Luo Jinyong nodded again and said, "Obviously, the core of human armed power is not military strength, but science and technology that are not worth mentioning in the eyes of extraterrestrial civilizations. ”

"This ......"

"You mean, extraterrestrial civilizations will deal with our scientists?" Zhang Xiaogang was also shocked, Luo Jinyong had not mentioned this idea before.

"No, scientists are only users of science and technology, not science and technology itself. Besides, there are tens of millions of scientists in the world, and hundreds of millions of people have the basic knowledge to become scientists. These people are scattered all over the world, and scientists like me are closely protected. Even if an extraterrestrial civilization has a strong military power, it may not be possible to wipe out all scientists in the short term. Luo Jinyong paused for a moment and said, "We have mapped the human genome, although I am not an expert in this area, but as long as there is enough investment, plus one or two geniuses, it only takes a month, or even a week, to develop a genetic weapon." Even after Judgment Day, there is a good chance that we will be able to self-destruct before we are fully controlled by extraterrestrial civilizations. ”
