Chapter 85: Lobbying

The fire of rebellion ignited from the North American continent quickly became a prairie fire.

Wherever the rebels went, the people responded in droves.

In just three days, the dungeons of North America and Europe have fallen one after another, and although the coalition government in East Asia has the strongest control, the situation is still not optimistic.

Every day, news comes about the fall of the dungeon.

Every day, new dungeon rebellions erupt.

One week, two weeks, three weeks......

January, February, March......

The Circum-Equatorial Planetary Engine, which is under the direct control of the coalition government, has been surrounded by rebels, and most of the dungeon defenders have surrendered in formation, except for a few dungeons that are still resisting.

Having mastered the circum-equatorial steering engine, the rebels set their sights on Hope City.

The European coalition began to advance through the Ural Mountains to the east.

The Asian coalition swept across the East Asian continent from south to north.

The North American coalition crossed the frozen Bering Strait and Kamchatka and entered Eastern Siberia!

Five months after the outbreak of the war, the 12 armies directly under the coalition government defected one after another, and in the end, only more than 10,000 Hope City guards were left to defend Hope City, and the coalition government had reached the point of exhaustion.

Pang Xuelin still commutes to work normally and performs his duties as the chairman of the scientific committee.

Occasionally, he would stay in the supercomputing center with his scientific team for several days at a time.

No one knew what he was doing, and no one cared what he was doing.

Hopefully, the atmosphere in the city was gloomy and deadly silent, and the streets were punctuated by the remnants of the defeated army and the wounded living in the shelters.

That night, Pang Xuelin went home on time and had a dull dinner with Yao Bingxia.

Since the outbreak of the war, the atmosphere at home has become much heavier, Pang Xuelin's words have become less and less, although Yao Bingxia is worried in his heart, he doesn't want to show it, so as not to worry Pang Xuelin.

After eating, Yao Bingxia was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Pang Xuelin suddenly said loudly: "Xiao Xia, the next hope city will not be very stable, I arranged an air and space plane, tomorrow from Hope City, go directly to the space fleet, the take-off of this plane has been approved by the coalition government and the rebels, after taking off, it will directly dock with the space battleship that your father served, then you will live with your father for a few months, and when the ground situation stabilizes, you can come back!" ”

After Yao Bingxia's father completed the service of the Navigator space station, he once returned to the surface to meet his daughter and son-in-law, and lived there for a few months.

Later, he still felt that he was still not comfortable with the life in the dungeon, coupled with the perennial experience of living in outer space, so he transferred the file directly to the space fleet and became the captain of a space destroyer.

Yao Bingxia's movements slowed down when she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Pang Xuelin and said, "Brother Xiaolin, aren't you with me?" ”

Pang Xuelin said: "My identity is relatively special, I can't leave if I want to go at this time, there have been a lot of defeated troops in Hope City recently, and the law and order continue to deteriorate, if you continue to stay here, I don't worry!" ”

"Okay, then I'll listen to you!"

Yao Bingxia lowered her head and said softly.

That night, the two were entangled in death, and it was not until the second half of the night that Pang Xuelin fell asleep with Yao Bingxia in his arms.

After dawn (the dawn here refers to the day and night of the dungeon, and the northern hemisphere of the surface is always in daylight), Pang Xuelin sent Yao Bingxia to the airport, and watched her board the plane, the elevator started slowly, and the aerospace plane went to the surface, and Pang Xuelin went to the earth cockpit with peace of mind.

In the vast halls of the Earth Wheelhouse, more than 5,000 members of the last loyal coalition government are still busy in the Earth Wheelhouse, ensuring the normal operation of planetary engines around the world.

Pang Xuelin came to the conference room, the core leadership of the coalition government of more than 50 people, now there are less than 30 people left, and the others have either defected to the enemy or have died on the battlefield.

Seedorf and Liu Xin sat at the top of the conference room, and when they saw Pang Xuelin coming in, Liu Xin said, "Xiao Xia sent it away?" ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and did not speak.

Seedorf said: "Okay, comrades, since everyone is here, then we will make a final vote on the next topic, the planetary engine control center is still within our control, when the planetary engine was designed, the planetary engine control center has the highest control authority over all planetary engines on the earth. In principle, it is possible to physically cut off control of the planetary engine from the Earth's cab, but once this is done, the planetary engine will automatically lock without permission from the planetary engine center, and any operation will be invalid unless we unlock it in the planetary engine control center. Therefore, as long as we hold on to the planetary engine control center, the rebels will be helpless against us as long as we threaten to die with the rebels. But there is no point in such a stalemate, once the rebels choose to attack, all mankind may suffer a catastrophe! Therefore, now, we will vote on whether to surrender to the rebels or stick to the wheelhouse of the earth, and if you choose to surrender, please raise your hand! ”

After Seedorf finished speaking, he took the lead in raising his hand high, and then Liu Xin also chose to raise his hand.

Obviously, Seedorf and Liu Xin had already communicated with most of the people present on this topic, and the conference room quickly raised their hands in twos and threes.

More than twenty people chose to agree, and Pang Xuelin did not raise it, but this is meaningless.

Seedorf said: "More than two-thirds of the comrades have made their own choice, I have communicated directly with the rebel high-level, and it is expected that the surrender ceremony will be held in the wheelhouse of the earth tomorrow morning, and I hope everyone can attend on time!" Alright, you're all gone! Xiao Pang stayed. ”

Soon, everyone in the conference room left in twos and threes, leaving only Pang Xuelin, Seedorf, and Liu Xin in the conference room.

Pang Xuelin was a little puzzled and said, "Mr. Seedorf, old man, is there anything you want me to stay?" ”

Liu Xin looked at Pang Xuelin and said: "Xiao Pang, I know that you are dissatisfied with our compromise with the rebels, but the matter has come to this point, even if we do it all over again, we will still do it, the Wandering Earth Project has lasted for so many years, if you want to stick to it, someone has to sacrifice for it." But you are different, you are the spark we left behind, whether the Wandering Earth Project can be persevered, it will be handed over to you next, I hope you can move forward with a heavy load, and do not live up to our expectations of you. A negotiator from the rebel side will come over and talk to you later, and I hope you can communicate with him well. ”

With that, Liu Xin got up, stepped forward, patted Pang Xuelin on the shoulder, and then walked out of the conference room.

Seedorf also got up, slowly walked to Pang Xuelin's side and said, "Xiao Pang, remember, you are the hope and spark we left behind!" ”

Pang Xuelin lowered his eyes and was silent.

He waited in the conference room for about another five minutes when the door opened, and a burly middle-aged white man with blond hair pushed the door open and walked in.

"Pang, my friend, long time no see!"

"Raphael, you've joined the rebels too?"

Pang Xuelin looked at the visitor with some surprise.

Macmillan Raphael, a professor at Yale University, a mathematician, in recent years, Pang Xuelin has been running back and forth in many dungeons in North America, participating in various activities, Raphael has been with him to help introduce a lot of people, to some extent, Raphael is indeed his old friend.

"Rebels?" Raphael shook his head and smiled, "No, we are a human alliance!" ”

"Hehe......"

Pang Xuelin sneered: "Do you also think those rumors are true?" The sun doesn't have helium flashes? ”

Raphael said: "Is it true or false, is there any point in arguing about this now?" The United Earth Government has completely lost everyone's trust, and we need a new government to lead humanity. ”

"It's up to you?"

"Yes, it's up to us! Pang, I know you're a genius and a determined Earthpie. But I'm going to tell you, I'm a spaceship faction, and the vast majority of middle- and upper-class people in North America are spaceship factions. In the dispute between the Earth faction and the spaceship faction, the spaceship faction finally made a compromise, and the direct result was that all mankind lived in darkness and fear for half a century. Now that the Earth has been out of the range of the sun's helium flash, the Earth is a super spaceship for mankind, and in the next voyage, it is time for the spaceship to take over the Earth! ”

Pang Xuelin's eyes were cold and said, "So, after your victory, are you really going to turn the engine and let the earth return to the solar system to find death?" ”

Raphael smiled slightly and said: "We will indeed make the earth turn around, but now that the speed of the earth has exceeded 52km/s, even if we want to return to the solar system, we need at least twenty years to slow down, and within twenty years, there will be enough helium flash for the sun!" Pang, I know that you are a genius, you are a human being born in the new era, the Jiangcheng earthquake, the death of your loved ones, is directly related to the Wandering Earth Project, I hope you can join us, in the process of restructuring the new government, you are the most suitable person for the secretary general of the scientific committee. Join us, I think this is not only what the new Chief Governor wants to see, but also what Mr. Seedorf and Mr. Liu Xin want to see! ”

Pang Xuelin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Then what are you going to do with those Earth Sects?" ”

Raphael said: "A public trial, and then a collective execution!" ”

A cold light flashed in Pang Xuelin's eyes: "Why, can't you leave them alive?" ”

Raphael said: "Pang, the solar helium flash will still break out sooner or later, they are alive, who will be responsible for this rebellion at that time?!" Only when the whole people are tried and executed en masse, and everyone has their blood on their hands, will in the end this rebellion be collectively forgotten by humanity, and only the high respect for these heroes remains. ”

Pang Xuelin said lightly: "Tomorrow's surrender ceremony, will it be broadcast live globally?" Also, will the Chief Executive of the new government be in attendance? ”

Raphael laughed, "Yes." Do you have something important to talk to about the new Archon? ”

Pang Xuelin nodded and said, "Yes, I want to make a deal with him!" ”

Raphael laughed and said, "Pang, I think the new consul will be happy to meet you. ”
