Chapter 35: Speeches
"I became a celebrity?" Zhao Huasheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "I'm just doing something that I should do, and any qualified human should do." ”
"But in that case, it's hard to keep your humanity and not get lost." Meng Zhuo took out another cigarette and lit it, and said, "This matter is not important, if you are interested, you can go to the "Voice of Humanity" website to check it out." This site was built to commemorate the 400,000 victims of the riots. ”
"Oh, I see." Zhao Huasheng said, "It's just...... Given my status, am I fit to be ahead of the masses? ”
Meng Zhuo shook his head: "I don't know. However, since the above has made such a decision, there must be their reasons. They made a mistake once, and probably won't do it a second time. Okay, you can rest first, if there is anything to call me. ”
Meng Zhuo walked out, Zhao Huasheng stretched, and then got up from the bed. The adequate sleep after extreme tiredness made Zhao Huasheng regain his energy, and the cold air blowing in from outside hit Zhao Huasheng's face, which actually made Zhao Huasheng feel refreshed.
Zhao Huasheng cleaned himself up, and then walked out of the room, and the smell of food came into Zhao Huasheng's nose. Li Wei walked out with a plate at this time, and when she saw Zhao Huasheng coming out, Li Wei smiled: "I've slept for so long, are you hungry?" I just made it, come and eat it. ”
During this time, Li Wei has been living with Zhao Huasheng, but the two of them live in two different rooms. Zhao Huasheng is a dull person, he has always turned a blind eye to Li Wei's hints, and since the relationship was confirmed, the most intimate move between the two is just holding hands, and it has always been Li Wei who took the initiative to hold Zhao Huasheng.
But at this moment, Li Wei looks a little different from the past in Zhao Huasheng. Perhaps because he had just experienced blood and chaos, there had never been such a moment, Zhao Huasheng was so yearning and eager for beautiful things. And in front of Zhao Huasheng at this moment, what else can there be besides Li Wei's smile?
Zhao Huasheng took the plate and put it on the table, then turned around and hugged Li Wei tightly: "Thank you." ”
Li Wei tightened up, then relaxed, and then seemed to be a little overwhelmed and stretched out her arms and hugged Zhao Huasheng tightly.
This time, Zhao Huasheng took the initiative to hug himself, which even gave Li Wei the illusion that the sun came out of the west. Li Wei's eyes turned red unconsciously: "After knowing that there was a riot and you never came back, I was so worried about you." I wanted to go out and look for you, but was stopped by the police, who wouldn't let anyone out of here. ”
"Oh." Zhao Huasheng didn't know what to say, so he had to sigh.
It seems that he has long been accustomed to Zhao Huasheng's dullness and ungood words, Li Wei wiped her tears and laughed out loud: "Hurry up and eat, otherwise you will be hungry." ”
"Okay." Zhao Huasheng let go of Li Wei and sat on the chair. Li Wei turned around and left, not knowing what she was busy with.
After breakfast, Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei sat on the sand together and turned on the TV. A little later there will be Yuan's public speech, which is clearly related to the riots.
The old man's face appeared on the TV a moment later, and his face did not change much, except that there were more wrinkles on his face and the tiredness in his eyes became a little thicker.
"My compatriots." The old man's words came out, "In the last three days, we have experienced the darkest period in our human history. During this time, more than 400,000 people were killed and at least 10 million were injured. I am not going to explain to you the causes of this incident and the mechanism of our civilized human government, I know that there are many doubts in your minds, including why the weather is getting colder, why we all gather at the equator to do such heavy labor, why we have to suffer all this...... It's okay, I'll tell you everything we know. ”
"Yes, the sun did get colder. In the past, there has been a physical process on the sun that we have not yet understood, and our scientists have not been able to fully describe this change and find a solution, and we can honestly tell you that we do not know how much the sun will cool down, and how long it will take for this disaster to pass. ”
"That's why our government led the great migration some time ago, bringing people from all over the world to Equateur City -- in order to do this smoothly and reduce the losses that we might encounter, we took some lies when we moved, and I think you can understand that."
"As for the deterioration of the living environment...... Sorry, our civilization is not strong enough to ensure that we can still have a good life in such a post-apocalyptic world. The crisis erupted in such a hurry that we simply did not have time to prepare in advance. That's why we have such a lot of work at the moment, because we have to build enough shelter in Equateur City, the hottest place in the world, to keep most of us alive. Everything we do is for ourselves, the houses we build will be given to us to live in, the food we produce will be consumed by us, and the pipes we lay will provide us with clean water...... We do all this for ourselves. ”
"The world has changed, and in order to perpetuate our civilization, to ensure the survival of most of us, we must endure all this......"
"We have tried to make our lives better, and we are very honest to tell everyone that the current standard of living is the limit of what our human civilization can achieve. At the very least, we now have enough food to survive, enough clothing to keep out the cold, and a warm place to rest in peace. We won't starve, we won't freeze to death, we won't be homeless at night. We have succeeded in ensuring the stability of at least 80% of the population, and we have minimized the impact of disasters on our human civilization. ”
"Maybe everyone is dissatisfied with their current life, but do you know...... There are still tens of thousands of researchers around the world, even if the minimum temperature has dropped to minus 120 degrees Celsius, there is even so cold that a breath of wild air can cause respiratory frostbite, there are still millions of workers who are rescuing the wealth we once created in the ruins of the former city, thousands of people are frozen to death every day, thousands more are killed by the harsh environment, and many more are working in the field to ensure the connection between Equateur City and the rest of the world, to ensure that our lifeline is not cut off...... It is precisely because of the sacrifice of these countless people that our living conditions at this moment can be guaranteed. ”
"Our food reserves can last for at least three years, so at least for three years, you don't have to worry about food supply. Agricultural scientists are also seizing the time to develop various new methods of grain cultivation, and it is believed that the dawn will soon appear. ”
"Therefore, I ask everyone, for the sake of the continuation of our civilization, for our own survival, do not listen to the demagoguery of conspiracy theorists and eschatologists and cultists, on this earth, no gods and legendary alien civilizations can save us, only we can save us. We must rely on our own hands and our own efforts to build a city that can provide us with survival, and live in this city, waiting for the dawn to come. ”
"Next, I'll explain to you a little bit about the City of Life."
"Our scientists have done a lot of work during this time, including launching a manned solar spacecraft and more than 30 exploration satellites. More than 300,000 top scientists are working hard to find a solution to this crisis. Although it is not clear when their work will bear fruit, they are still all of us and the hope of our civilization. That's why we built the City of Life for scientists to live with peace of mind and to study science. I think that's very logical. Scientists are responsible for saving our civilization, and our civilization tries to give them the best possible conditions for research. The City of Life is not a place for the powerful to escape the end times, as conspirators say, but it is actually a research base for scientists. ”
"Please remember that science, and the scientific researchers, is the only hope for the continuation of our civilization. Until scientists find a solution to the problem, I will accompany you to live in Equatorial City and wait for the dawn to come. ”
"In conclusion, allow me, on behalf of our human civilization, to express our deepest condolences to the 400,000 victims of this incident. I hope that each of us can learn from this incident, and I believe that none of us want such an incident to happen again in our human civilization. ”
"Hopefully, after the crisis is over, each of us will still be able to live well on this beautiful planet."
When the speech was finally over, the old man left the microphone and bowed deeply to the camera. The screen switches, and the old man disappears.
This speech means that the solar crisis has been truly announced to the society, and all kinds of previous speculations have been verified. I don't know what kind of impact this will have on our human civilization. Zhao Huasheng sighed.
