Chapter 507: Council Resolution
Just when everyone was still arguing about this issue, Qiao Lu came back from outside, and on the way there, he heard the main points of the meeting, and understood what everyone was arguing about at this time.
The moment he came in, the scene suddenly became silent, and the people who had been arguing stopped arguing, because after he arrived, it meant that the meeting could come to a final result.
"Sorry, I'm late." Qiao Lu spoke, and then found a seat to sit down, indicating that he was also involved in the meeting.
"No, it's just in time, Qiao Lu." Luo Feng said to him, "We were about to discuss what to do next. ”
The representative of the United States, Derek, also continued: "My opinion is still the same, it's time for the wandering earth to stop. ”
For Qiao Lu, the goal of allowing the Wandering Earth to continue to travel is very clear, because he not only has to face the quantum collapse of the Wandering Earth, but also senses that in a higher dimension, a greater disaster is about to strike.
In this case, instead of solving the quantum crisis of the Wandering Earth, everything will be fine, but it is possible to usher in the end of all things unconsciously, as stated in the invitation sent by the Zero.
But he may not be able to convince everyone of this, because it is difficult for everyone else to agree that this is a real crisis, not just a hypothesis, except that he can be sure that the existence of the Zero Returner is real.
Therefore, in this case, Qiao Lu needs other more convincing reasons to convince the coalition government that it is necessary to let the Wandering Earth continue to travel to the next plane.
It's not that easy.
Just as Qiao Lu was still thinking about a way, Ding Yi, the physicist representative who participated in the meeting, spoke first.
"Guys, can you listen to me first?"
"Of course, Dr. Ding Yi."
As the scientist who has the deepest understanding of quantum physics on the wandering earth, even if Ding Yi is not a high-level member of the coalition government, his words still carry great weight.
"I'm sorry I should have told you about this earlier, about the quantum state of the Wandering Earth, I know it will be difficult to explain it to you in an easy-to-understand way, but I still want to ask first, do you know what will happen after the Wandering Earth undergoes quantum collapse?"
"Isn't it according to what you said, there is a 1 in 7 chance of collapse to a state of destruction, and we can all survive the other situations?" Derek said as a matter of course.
Ding Yi hesitated and said: "It's true, it's true, but it's just a rough guess, in fact, we can't completely predict the specific situation." ”
"What actually happens then?" Qiao Lu asked.
Ding Yi replied: "The easiest to predict are two possibilities, the first is that the Wandering Earth collapses into a state of destruction, which is the result of our initial failure to cross, when everyone will die from the sun's helium flash, and the earth will also be wiped out." ”
"The second possibility is that the Wandering Earth gets rid of the current quantum state instability, which will allow us to stay in the current plane, and because the crossing of the Wandering Earth is based on the instability of the quantum state, we will not be able to travel to other planes after the quantum state is stable."
"In the second possibility, we can indeed survive, but we will sever our connection with other planes, because our crossing is based on the quantization of the Wandering Earth itself, and dissolving this quantum state means that the Wandering Earth can no longer act as a bridge to other planes."
After listening to Ding Yi's explanation, Qiao Lu judged: "In other words, we will stay in this plane forever, that's what it means." ”
"In a sense, it's stranded on this plane. To this day, we have not yet studied how the original crossing of the Wandering Earth took place. So once you stop, you don't know when you'll be able to cross again. Ding Yi replied.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Derek insisted, "At least we don't have to worry about Quantum of Solace anymore, we don't have a semi-annual crossing, and we can rest easy and develop well." ”
"That's a big problem!" Qiao Lu immediately retorted, "If we have to stay in this plane, doesn't that mean that we have to face the rule of the Empire?" The entire galaxy is under the rule of the Empire, and if we stay on their territory, can the other party really allow us to develop well? ”
"Isn't there still a screen that covers the world?" Derek retorted as well.
"It's true that the Hidden Sky Screen can hide the location of the wandering earth, but what about our space exploration? What about exploiting the resources of the universe? If we abandon all this, we will rest on our laurels, but if we continue to do so, we risk exposing ourselves. ”
There is nothing more stupid than going head-to-head with the Death Star only to end up in a long war with the Empire.
"Maybe we can make peace with the Empire." The representative of France, Beven, proposed, "Well, or surrender······
It's certainly not a wise choice.
"In this case," proposed the British representative, George, "perhaps we can find a way to evacuate as many people as possible to other planes in the remaining half a year, and choose other planets as our new home, which I call the Great Retreat." ”
It has to be said that this is a proposal that seems to be more realistic, and now the Wandering Earth can travel to several planes, many of which can be used as a new home for human beings.
If the coalition government is determined to carry out the Great Retreat, it is indeed possible to send the wandering people on Earth to other planes within half a year.
This avoids being stranded on the Star Wars plane with the Wandering Earth, while also not having to go head-to-head with the Death Star.
Evasion is shameful but useful, that's George's opinion.
However, Ding Yi said: "I think it's probably useless. ”
"Why?"
George finally thought he had found a good way, but he didn't expect to be denied by Ding Yi, who is a scientist.
"Because the Wandering Earth Quantum of Solaria is not limited to itself, but also includes all those who have lived on it. For example, if the Wandering Earth unfortunately collapses into a state of destruction, it will be pulled back to the moment when the solar helium flash erupts, not only the Wandering Earth itself, but also all the people on the Earth at that time. ”
"You mean ······"
"If the quantum collapse of the Wandering Earth happens, even if humans escape to other planes, they will not be spared, so it is not possible to solve the problem by leaving the Wandering Earth."
In other words, it may be safer to escape to other planes, but if these people want to be safe and healthy forever, they must have someone to carry the wandering earth through constantly, and it is better to ensure that the quantum collapse never happens.
Qiao Lu finally concluded: "If other people want to live and work in peace, someone has to carry the weight forward, now can you make a decision?" ”
Everyone was silent, and after their plans were denied one after another, there seemed to be no other choice.
"I'll definitely choose to move on, so whether you want to escape or stay, so be it."
Leaving this sentence, Qiao Lu left the meeting site, because he knew that this was the final word.
