269. Press conference

As the days on the Earth planet are getting darker and darker, the Dyson Sphere plan about the Heavenly Court has been circulated and has been openly talked about in the major media, causing a lot of panic among the people of the Earth planet.

Chairman Wang Shouren did not dare to draw conclusions lightly before he received the report on the discovery of the Dyson sphere from the Zhenxi Seiki Observatory at the Aomine Observatory, and in order to stabilize people's minds, Chairman Wang Shouren had to convene a press conference on the Dyson sphere of the major media in the press center of the League of Nations Building.

For the first time since he was elected as the chairman of the country, Wang Shouren answered questions about Dyson Ball in public in front of major news reporters, and accompanied the chairman to answer questions in the press center, including the vice chairman and the prime minister, and Wei Xinyu was also on the rostrum as a special guest to answer questions.

Although Chairman Wang Shouren is a 70-year-old man with gray temples, he is in good spirits, full of energy, and still full of vigor when he speaks.

"Journalists from all major media are welcome to come to the Earth Star Country News Center. Today, we held a press conference in the news center to discuss the current problems in the Earth Star Country, and to give you an answer based on the information and evidence we currently have, and I hope that in the future, the major news media will stop using false rumors and say that the abnormal weather changes are caused by alien Dyson spheres, so as not to cause panic among the human beings on the Earth planet. ”

The news scene was quiet, and all the cameras and eyes were focused on Chairman Wang Shouren.

Chairman Wang Siu Ren calmly continued:

"In the past few days, the days on Earth have become darker and darker, and the weather has become colder and colder, and many news have attributed this strange phenomenon to the alien Dyson sphere. In fact, this phenomenon should be attributed to the fact that the ice age has once again descended on the planet. Why is this so? Astronomers tell us that the Sun is entering the year of solar activity in the past two years. In terms of the number of sunspots and solar flares, it is almost to the point where it is rarely seen. So, the smallest year of solar activity we have ever experienced is likely to be the worst on record. Astronomers say that the minimum and most severe period of solar activity this time is likely to last for a year and a half. But this is impossible, it will not last so long, scientists have studied that this time the Xiaoice period may last three months, up to six months. If the minimum year of solar activity does trigger the arrival of the Xiaoice Age, perhaps it can provide a buffer period for human beings to reduce carbon emissions and eventually change energy patterns, which is more conducive to human beings to completely solve the problem of global warming. If this is the case, it will be possible to avoid the prediction that the "Earth will turn into a fireball", and humanity will be in a hurry to move to an alien planet. So you don't have to worry about the Earth Planet becoming a dark night, this is a temporary phenomenon when the Ice Age comes, you don't need to panic, and after this phenomenon passes, the Earth Planet will return to its former state. ”

The reason why Chairman Wang Shouren set the time as half a year is because, after he discussed with Wei Xinyu, in less than half a year, Wei Xinyu's Dyson ball plan to destroy the heavenly court will have results, he believes in Wei Xinyu's ability, and Bell Zun secretly sent him a message, and Tianzun will also secretly send someone to assist Wei Xinyu to complete the task. Therefore, Chairman Wang Shouren is full of confidence in Wei Xinyu's completion of the task, and he dared to say at the press conference that the advent of the Ice Age is a temporary phenomenon that can only last for half a year at most.

Dai Zhengde, as the prime minister of the Earth Star Country, then spoke:

"Starting today, the Earth Planet has entered an ice age, although it is only half a year, but this is the most difficult period that the human beings on our Earth Planet have experienced, please be fully prepared mentally and materially. We have carefully studied the impact of this half a year on the Earth Star Country, and made a plan to deal with it: first, energy, due to the ice, the river is frozen, hydropower generation will be reduced or stopped, there is no sunlight, solar power generation is gone, according to the current energy consumption estimates, this period of electricity consumption will rise sharply, resulting in power shortage, we have made full preparations in this regard, will use artificial sun, nuclear power generation and other forms of power generation at any cost, to ensure the supply of electricity on the terrestrial planet; Second, to do a good job in the production and supply of grain, livestock breeding, and meat supply, we will do whatever it takes to speed up the construction of agricultural greenhouses and make full use of underground facilities and other available space for grain production and livestock raising, and try to ensure the life of human beings in the Earth Star Country in these months or longer. panic over food; Third, we should try our best to keep the daily necessities of human beings on the planet as possible to ensure production and supply; Fourth, strengthen the protection of vegetable bases, fruit forests, and trees on the planet, and build greenhouses for some vegetables and fruit forests in a planned way, so that these fruit forests will not continue to suffer damage from snowstorms. The Earth Star Kingdom has increased a large amount of financial budget funds for the above work, and these funds have been allocated to various places, and it is hoped that the news media will supervise and report on them, and work hard to survive this difficult ice age in the Earth Star Country. ”

Next is the time for the reporter's questions and the people on the rostrum to answer them. At the news scene, the reporter's questions about the survival of human beings on the planet that have entered the ice age were answered by the chairman, vice chairman, and prime minister. Suddenly, a reporter mentioned the issue of artificial sun, which was answered by Wei Xinyu more professionally, saying:

The "artificial sun" that the prime minister just mentioned is actually a nuclear power plant, and it uses a pulse generator set of about 320,000 kilovolts, and its shaped ring can store 2,800 megajoules of energy. We have two "artificial suns" in our planetary country, both of which are used in the military field, it is to provide energy for ultra-long-distance laser cannons, and it is to prepare for defense against alien invasion. Now that the Earth planet lacks electricity, it can be used to provide electricity to the Earth planet, but the cost of using the "artificial sun" is very high, but for the survival of the Earth planet's humans, the cost is negligible. In addition to the "artificial sun", there are other energy sources that can be used in the Earth Star Country, such as dark energy, but the cost is too high, if the energy is not enough, we can also dig it out to make the people in the Earth Star Country feel warm in the unusually cold weather. ”

Then, a reporter was very interested in Dyson Ball, and he asked:

"Your Excellency, the legend that the abnormal change in the weather this time is caused by the alien Dyson sphere, you said that the earth planet has entered the ice age, but a friend of mine works at the observatory, and he has evidence that it was the Dyson sphere of the aliens, so I can't tell who is right and who is wrong, I just want to ask, the Dyson sphere that is spreading in the Earth Star Country, if it is really done by aliens, can we stop it? Or we can negotiate with the aliens to build a Dyson sphere together without damaging the planet, do you think it's feasible? ”

Chairman Wang Shouren said with a smile:

"I asked Wei Xinyu to answer this question for me."

Wei Xinyu replied:

"For this abnormal change in the weather in the Earth Star Country, we don't have enough evidence to prove that it was caused by the alien Dyson Sphere, so please don't speculate and cause unnecessary panic. If it was really an alien, we would stop it no matter how much it cost, after all, it endangered the survival of the human race on Earth. We know that the universe is vast, there are countless stars, and there are countless planets, and naturally there will be many civilizations, but after the development of civilization to a certain stage, there is no doubt about the energy of collecting stars, human beings are now beginning to use solar energy, and after the development of science and technology in the future, we may use more energy, even if we can't make devices like Dyson spheres, we may also create other devices to absorb the energy of stars, and then we will be able to establish many human homes in the universe. Transform some planets into planets like terrestrial planets, so that our terrestrial humans can survive on any planet, and I hope this day can be realized as soon as possible! Regarding negotiating with aliens and building a Dyson sphere together, this possibility is very slim because we are too weak to be qualified to negotiate with each other at all. In fact, this world is a world of energy, and in the solar system, the sun is our mother of energy, there is no doubt about this. Therefore, maximizing the use of solar energy will be the fundamental way to solve the energy problem in the future. I think that the human beings on the earth planet have developed to a certain level of civilization, and it is possible to implement the Dyson sphere project, but it will not envelop the sun and harm the earth planet. ”

Some reporters put forward several variant schemes about Dyson balls, such as "Dyson Cloud", "Dyson Shell" and "Dyson Bubble", and Wei Xinyu was able to answer them one by one on the spot.

When the press conference ended, Chairman Wang Shouren called Wei Xinyu to his office, the harm of the Dyson sphere to the planet has been obvious to all, whether the people of the planet can survive this catastrophe is still difficult to say, but Wei Xinyu said at the press conference that it is possible to implement the project of the Dyson sphere after the development of the planet in the future, and he wanted to ask him what his intentions were.

After Wei Xinyu sat down, Chairman Wang Shouren asked:

"The construction of the Dyson sphere, this primitive idea, even ordinary people on the planet of the earth feel naΓ―ve and ridiculous, this kind of cost of huge manpower, financial resources to obtain energy, is quite backward ideas, but you said at the press conference that the human beings on the planet have developed to a certain level of civilization, it is possible to implement the project of the Dyson sphere, what is the purpose of this?"

Wei Xinyu smiled and replied: "The idea of the Dyson sphere is indeed very controversial, but it is not without merit, and we may not completely wrap the sun in order to obtain solar energy in the future." The Dyson sphere I envisioned should be in the form of a biosphere, consisting of loose solar collectors or satellite clouds orbiting the sun independently. In this way, it can have the energy of the sun and at the same time have a relatively small impact on the terrestrial planet. ”

Chairman Wang Shouren shook his head and said: "This kind of naΓ―ve and ridiculous Dyson sphere scheme is better stopped, there is only one sun in the solar system, it doesn't need to be packaged, you don't need to publicize it anymore, our planet doesn't need a Dyson sphere." ”
