Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Duel
There was a sudden silence in the square.
The live broadcast camera controlled by MOSS instantly focused on Pang Xuelin.
Seeing Pang Xuelin's face appear on the big screen, the scene was quiet for a while, and then it became noisy all of a sudden.
"Professor Pang......"
"It's Chairman Pang......"
"Does Chairman Pang want to save these people?"
"Although Chairman Pang has made great contributions to mankind, he himself has held positions within the DC regime, and he has never taken the initiative to surrender, and it is already quite magnanimous for the new government to pardon him, what else does he want......"
β¦β¦
All kinds of discussions came and went, Pang Xuelin turned a deaf ear, and walked step by step to the high platform where George Wood was.
The soldiers in the audience seemed to want to block Pang Xuelin's way, but were stopped by George Wood: "Professor Pang, do you want to give any speech?" Please come up......"
George Wood had a soft smile on his face, which was very contagious, and he didn't seem to be worried about Pang Xuelin defending the Earth faction in the audience.
This gesture, in the eyes of the public, is a manifestation of magnanimity.
On the square, Liu Xin and Seedorf frowned and glanced at each other, what did Pang Xuelin want to do?
If the Earth faction's defense had worked, the rebellion wouldn't have ended like this.
If you stand up and speak for them at this time, it will only reduce Pang Xuelin's prestige in the eyes of the public.
What Pang Xuelin needs to do now is to endure the humiliation within the new government, and wait for the day when the helium flash of the sun will explode, and then stand up and overturn the case for them, and then let the Earth faction regain the power of the coalition government.
Instead of standing up so recklessly as now to go toe-to-toe with the new government.
It didn't do him any good.
George Wood made a gentlemanly gesture.
"Professor Pang, please!"
Pang Xuelin's gaze swept over his smiling face, without sadness or joy.
He stood on a high platform, in the middle of the square, and a pair of eyes focused on him.
There are 12,000 dungeons around the world, and billions of pairs of eyes are also focused on him through the broadcast screen.
Pang Xuelin raised his right hand high and said, "MOSS, now implement the No. 1 emergency plan!" β
"Emergency Plan No. 1 activated!"
Soon, the voice of MOSS sounded in the major dungeons around the world: "The system starts counting down!" β
γ59:59γ
γ59:58γ
γ59:57γ
β¦β¦
Immediately afterwards, the people in the major dungeons began to feel that the dungeon was shaking slightly, which was not the same as the usual earthquake, very slight, and continued evenly, as if a force from the depths of hell was being opened!
"Professor Pang, what are you going to do?"
The smile on George Wood's face faded away, and he looked at Pang Xuelin with some uneasiness.
Pang Xuelin ignored him and said calmly: "The planetary engine has a mode of operation, called overload operation, which is mainly used to adjust the earth's operating attitude in an emergency, such as avoiding some asteroids that pose a serious threat to the earth. However, this mode of operation generally only lasts for a few minutes, and if the overload time is continued to be extended, the planetary engine will enter an uncontrollable state within an hour, and the excess fusion material will burn through the earth's crust, evaporate the ocean, and human civilization will be reduced to ashes in a sea of fire. β
"What I wear on my wrist is a signal-generating device that controls the operation of 12,000 planetary engines around the world through MOSS. But remember, this system is a negative feedback system, once it is detached from my wrist, or my physical signs disappear completely, then the overload of the world's 12,000 planetary engines will enter a state of complete lockdown, and human civilization will no longer be able to recover. β
"Also, don't try to take control of the MOSS, I've been secretly modifying the underlying control procedures of the MOSS for the past three years, and as the chair of the scientific committee, I have enough authority to do so. If you fail, you may cause the planetary engine to lock up early! β
The audience was silent!
There are 12,000 dungeons around the world, and there is no sound!
In the next second, the entire planetary engine control center was boiling!
"Demon, he's a demon!"
"This is a total crime against humanity! Pang Xuelin, you are a hundred times more vicious than those earth-school DCs! β
"You shameful criminal, do you want to drag all mankind to send a funeral for the earth?"
β¦β¦
"Quiet!"
Pang Xuelin said lightly, and the scene was instantly quietly pin down.
Even the 12,000 dungeons in the world fell silent, and although everyone almost wanted to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, at this time, no one dared to do anything against him.
"Pang Xuelin, what do you want to do?"
George Wood behind him glared angrily.
Pang Xuelin ignored George Wood, but said to the entire crowd at the scene, and also to the people around the world who were watching the live broadcast: "In the past six months, a shameful civil war has broken out in human civilization - the cause is just a ridiculous rumor. I don't want to argue with you about whether this rumor is true or not, time will tell. I only hope to give these 5,000 last earth factions a chance, and also give all mankind a chance to make up for their mistakes, if the solar helium flash erupts, then what happens today will be a shame for all mankind! At the same time, it will also become a laughing stock in the eyes of careerists, conspirators, hidden behind all this! β
"I have a list of rumors about the fact that the sun would not break out before the outbreak of the civil war, who was behind it, who was behind it, who was behind it, and who was involved in organizing this rebellion. The list of more than 2,000 people in total has been published by the coalition government once before, but I think it has been almost deleted on the Internet now, so I will re-publish it through MOSS, hoping that everyone will remember the names of these people, and they may be used in the future. β
After that, Pang Xuelin turned to look at George Wood and smiled: "Mr. Wood, how about we make a deal?" β
"What deal?"
George Wood was a little uneasy.
He had a vague sense that the rebellion, which had come to an end, was getting out of his grasp.
Pang Xuelin said lightly: "Cancel the death sentence of these five thousand Earth Sects!" Whether you sentence them to life imprisonment or other punishments, I need them all to live! This is my only condition, as long as the new government can do this, I will unconditionally hand over control of the Star Engine! All mankind witnesses! β
The crowd couldn't help but stir, and for a while, everyone's eyes were focused on George Wood.
George Wood couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his face, and he instantly understood Pang Xuelin's purpose in planning this operation.
Sooner or later, the solar helium flash will erupt, and the vast majority of the rebel top brass knows it.
The problem is that if the Earth faction is sentenced to death in the case of a public trial, then even if the solar helium flash finally erupts, it will only be a matter of not being held accountable, and all mankind will automatically forget this shameful memory.
But if the Earth Faction is still alive, most of these 5,000 people are high-level members of the coalition government, and their protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, and once the solar helium flash erupts, these people can instantly rise up and regain control of the overall situation.
Not to mention, the list announced by Pang Xuelin almost told the people around the world that there were people behind this rumor and civil war.
Even if the public is convinced that the sun will explode with helium flashes, I am afraid that there will be a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Once this suspicion arises, the indomitable momentum that has arisen from the beginning of the rebellion will be dissipated, and even within the new government, it will cause divisions.
This is a conspiracy, and there is no way to break the game.
Just like they used rumors to incite the people to overthrow the coalition government!
In the center of the square under the stage, more than 5,000 earth factions had a glimmer of hope on their faces.
Liu Xin and Seedorf glanced at each other and said in a low voice: "Do we still have hope of turning the tables?" β
Seedorf shook his head, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes: "It's hard to say now, unless ......"
"Unless what?"
Liu Xin was slightly stunned.
Before Seedorf could answer, the conversation on the stage once again attracted Liu Xin's attention.
"Pang Xuelin, in addition to this condition, are there any other conditions? You have committed a great crime against humanity today, and if you know that you have lost your way, the new government can consider pardoning you! β
George Wood's eyes stared at Pang Xuelin without blinking.
As long as Pang Xuelin still wants to live, then the effect of what he said just now will be greatly reduced, and the new government will be able to agree to Pang Xuelin's conditions and reach a compromise with the Earth faction.
Pang Xuelin shook his head and calmly said the answer that made George Wood fall into the abyss: "I have committed a crime against humanity, as long as you agree to my conditions and return control of the planetary engine, I will go to the surface, remove the graphene battery, and carry out the death sentence of freezing to death!" β
β¦β¦
The words fell, and the audience fell silent again.
Liu Xin shook his body, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xiao Lin is risking his own life for a glimmer of life for the Earth Sect!" β
Seedorf wiped the corners of his eyes, he originally wanted to use the sacrifice of the Earth Faction to pave the way for Pang Xuelin, but he didn't expect that Pang Xuelin would support the future of the Earth Faction alone, and even directly send that group of careerists and conspirators to hell!
If Pang Xuelin does not die, then the rebel top brass is likely to eventually compromise with the Earth faction and reorganize the global chaos.
But as soon as Pang Xuelin dies, once the helium flash erupts, then all the rebel leaders, one counts as one, and what awaits them will be the judgment of all mankind!
"Mr. George Wood, do you agree to my terms?"
Pang Xuelin smiled.
Wood looked at Pang Xuelin, opened his mouth, and there was a hint of pleading on his face!
Pang Xuelin is asking him to dig a grave for himself!
"Agreed! Agree! Agree! β¦β¦β
At some point, the audience rang out in agreement.
Even the major dungeons around the world have heard a voice of agreement.
"I ...... On behalf of the new government...... Agree...... Your conditions! β
George Wood shook his body, as if he had aged countless times in an instant!
