After visiting the research results of the Central Academy of Sciences and getting the Eagle Combat Armor from Luo Yun, Qiao Lu went back and exchanged for the special research project of [Antimatter Mass Production I.].

From the introduction of Dean Zhang Bin, this should be the most urgent technical problem that needs to be solved at present.

With the technology of [Antimatter Mass Production I.], the output of antimatter on the Wandering Earth has increased from 4 grams per month to 20 grams per month, and the 500% increase is already quite amazing, which is enough to alleviate the problem of insufficient production of some antimatter.

Qiao Lu's civilization points were also reduced to only 4545 points in one go, which was not enough to exchange for any other technology.

In this way, all he needs to do is almost done, and then he will wait for the wandering earth to reach the next world.

However, things did not go as Qiao Law wanted, and just when he thought he could rest well, another big event happened on the wandering earth.

Although it is a big event, it is not an accident, but a global regional convention organized by a coalition government.

It is well known that the top decision-making level of the coalition government is the permanent council composed of permanent representatives, but this does not mean that there are no other council representatives.

However, in order to distinguish them from the permanent members, these other board representatives are generally referred to as regional representatives, such as the German regional representative, the Canadian regional representative, the Japanese regional representative, and so on.

Regional representatives do not have a veto and do not normally participate in the deliberations of the permanent council.

However, they also submit proposals to the Standing Council, and discuss the future direction of the Wandering Earth at the annual global regional convention.

If the Permanent Council is unable to reach a consensus on an agreement on [internal assimilation], it is most likely that this agenda will be placed on the Global Regional Conference.

Of course, the best outcome is not necessary, because the content of the global regional conventions is open to the global public, and the mere leakage of this news could cause a split in humanity.

And this time, the key agenda of the global regional conventions is whether humanity should return to life on the ground and return to normal economic activities.

In Qiao Lu's view, there is no good choice for such a problem, since there are conditions to return to the ground, then human civilization should return to the ground to develop.

Racial characteristics control nature, the introduction of Pandora creatures to improve the earth's environment, these are all preparations for the return of human civilization to the ground, how can we continue to shrink in the dungeon when the conditions are ripe?

The narrow living space of the dungeon, the lack of sunlight and fresh air, all hinder the development of human civilization, how can you give up the development plan to return to the surface?

However, many regional representatives have completely different ideas from Qiao Lu.

"At present, human civilization is still in a very dangerous situation, and the crisis caused by the crossing of the earth is really unpredictable. Survival is the first need of civilization, so we should ensure the continuation of human civilization rather than returning to the ground to develop. In contrast, dungeons are undoubtedly safer places to live, and they are highly resilient in the face of various natural disasters. ”

This escapist ideology initially did not attract much attention, but it was pushed to a climax after a regional delegate cited an example to give evidence, and dominated the overall discussion of the conference in one fell swoop.

Here's what the regional representative put it: "Imagine how many casualties we would have had if our people had lived not in the dungeons but on the ground during the last mechanical disaster. Is the army still capable of protecting planetary engines in the face of a large number of fleeing civilians? ”

"Our civilization has escaped death, and we should be glad for it, and continue this correct course. There is an old Chinese saying - existence is everything, everything is for existence! Survival is our highest priority, and re-entry to the ground should take place in safer conditions. ”

Undoubtedly, such an opinion is also very convincing.

Before the crossing, human civilization was facing an existential crisis, and after the crossing, especially in the recent Battle of Cybertron, human civilization once again faced the catastrophe of annihilation, and finally survived by saturation rescue.

In this case, of course, there are many people who are reluctant to abandon the safer dungeons and return to the surface to redevelop.

Everything is for the continuation of human civilization, and what a high-sounding reason, it really makes people feel irrefutable.

In such an atmosphere, more and more regional representatives began to agree with such a strategic approach.

"We really shouldn't go back to the ground if we don't have to."

"Human civilization can develop very well underground, so why do we have to go back to the surface?"

"We have abandoned the ground and chosen the underground as the living space of human civilization, so there is no need to change our minds."

"From the very beginning of the Wandering Earth project, we have decided that humans will live underground for 2,500 years. It's only been less than a hundred years, and we can't stand living in a dungeon? ”

······

More and more echoing voices have emerged, and the mainstream of thought in the conference is constantly developing towards this kind of escapism.

Of course, there are also people who try to come forward to save the situation, and propose rational solutions, such as using the surface as a place of life and the dungeon as a place of refuge.

But these are all dismissed on the grounds that the human evacuation process may cause more casualties, and sending all 3.5 billion to the underground city is not an easy task, and the evacuation plan will not completely solve the concerns of these people.

After experiencing the Wandering Earth Project, the belief in their hearts is that everything is for the continuation of human civilization, not everything for the development of human civilization.

When it comes to thinking about future strategic directions, the delegates of these regions are rightly conservative.

This is a big gap with Qiao Lu's thoughts of the traverser, after all, his thinking is still stuck in the era of "backwardness is to be beaten, and development is the last word".

In the words of the Wandering Earth, it was the golden age of mankind - the pre-solar age.

And now, they are already people from the era of the Wandering Earth Project Escape, and of course they will have different mainstream ideas from Qiao Lu.

However, Qiao Lu doesn't think that he is wrong, survival is indeed the first need of civilization, but if he is just dedicated to survival, can he really make human civilization continue forever?

To exist is everything, and everything is for the sake of being.

This sentence is Yan Xishan's life creed, but the regime he established did not exist to the end as he wished.

Is this really the right thing to do?
