The Nation (xv)

I held up the screen of my phone to look at the dark clouds, and I said nervously, "Is this the mayor's line?" ”

"Of course it is, don't pick it up yet." The clouds were thick and he said anxiously.

I pressed the phone and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, is this Mr. Luqiao?"

"Yes, you are?" I said.

"My surname is Li, and I am independent. A single name is a summer, a summer of summer. I am the current mayor of Beijing, and I have received what you have handed in. I want to confirm, you mean that next year 2036 will be the end of the world, right? ”

"Yes, that's right." I said.

"Okay, I probably know by now, you're the chief expert of the Beijing Planetarium. I'm not here to question you, but I want to say can you take responsibility for this document you submitted? ”

I pointed at myself, the clouds clouding and nodding my head desperately.

I sighed and said, "Mayor Lixia, I know you may not believe it. Because even if I did the math three times, I wouldn't believe the data I was getting. But it's true, and the data I get is that the end of the world is coming. ”

"Yes, I was shocked when I knew." Lixia echoed.

"Let me finish my sentence, thank you. I felt that this matter was serious, so I didn't go around talking about it. But I had to hand in the data I got and I could pack a ticket for this thing I gave you. If you don't believe it, you can leave it to someone you trust to verify. But I think you need to know the seriousness of this matter, and I hope you can continue to upload it. Let the more qualified people know about it, understand? ”

"Okay, I hope you don't leave Beijing for a week. And ensure that your mobile phone keeps communicating 24 hours a day, and my side will hand it over to a special person for inspection and verification as soon as possible and upload it to my superiors immediately. ”

"I hope that as few people know about this as possible, after all, you know the seriousness better than I do when the news spreads." I said.

"Okay, stay in touch." The other party hung up the phone.

I took my phone and said to the clouds, "How's it going?" It's not what you want to say. ”

"You've talked a lot, I hope you'll get an answer by evening." The clouds were thick and he shook his head.

"Dad, what do you think the people above will do?" I said.

"It's best to give me a few people to help me, and then we can solve this big problem together. But if all the experts who came here were experts like you, I guess my head would be big. With the clouds in his mind, he turned and walked to the kitchen.

"Dad? What are you doing here? I said puzzled.

"Cooking, can you still do it? You call Xiao Su and bring your daughter. What else can I do? Don't I cook and sit and wait? The clouds were thick.

"Want to eat together? What should I do when the call comes? Didn't you say you wouldn't let them know? I said.

"Silly? You're not going to go out on the phone. The clouds covered and he went to the kitchen.

I sat down in the hall and watched the discarded scratch paper continue to be calculated on the computer.

Half an hour later, I got a similar value.

This value is embarrassingly right in the middle of the earth, and there is no way to avoid it.

It seemed to be fate, and I tilted my head and didn't know why I wanted to cry.

The door suddenly opened, and Wusu's mother smiled and said, "What? Do you have time to come over for dinner today? ”

"Yes, Mom." After I finished speaking, I immediately crumpled the paper on the table into a ball and threw it into the trash, only then did I remember that I forgot to call Wusu and Lu Jiao.
