"Our human civilization has faced one of the most serious challenges in history." The old man stood up and looked around at the people in the conference room, his voice a little sad.

"Our human civilization is still far from being fully developed...... We can't even land on Mars. I can understand the insignificance of human civilization and how ridiculous and difficult it is to rely on the power of human civilization to change the sun. But we don't have a choice. We must rise to the occasion and overcome this crisis, and our human civilization will continue to continue, and if we fail, we will perish, it is as simple as that. The old man said, "Fortunately...... Thankfully, our technology has advanced, and things are difficult, but not without hope. ”

"I command...... From this moment on, the Human Alliance has entered a wartime emergency phase, and we will mobilize all the forces at our disposal to face this crisis. All scientists, all engineers, politicians, workers, businessmen, all strata of society are to unite. Only then can we hope to win. ”

"Adjournment...... Watson, Monjo, you two stay. The old man said.

The crowd dispersed, and only Zhao Huasheng and Meng Zhuo were left in the huge conference room.

"I've seen your profile." The old man glanced at Zhao Huasheng, "From elementary school until you entered the Stellar Physics Institute, you have always shown unusual talent, you are very smart and diligent and studious. ”

Zhao Huasheng felt okay when there were many people just now, but now, he was left to face this old man by himself, and he felt the huge pressure. The old man in front of him was the supreme head of the Human Alliance, and he belonged to the kind of person that Zhao Huasheng had never had a chance to meet.

Faced with the old man's praise, Zhao Huasheng didn't know what to say.

"You don't have to be presumptuous about that, because you're really smart and studious." The old man said slowly, "But...... Within the scope of all human civilization, your intelligence and diligence are still within the scope of normal people. You have not shown any kind of ability to defy the sky. Even, even in the scientific community, or even in the Stellar Physics Institute, your qualifications are not the top, at most you can only be regarded as the top. ”

"There are many who are smarter than you, and many who are more diligent than you. So, Watson, I'm curious, why did Director Richie choose you at the last minute to take on this most difficult task? Can you tell me why? ”

"I ...... I do not know. Zhao Huasheng thought for a while, and finally had to admit this fact. Because the reality is true, although the old man's words are cruel, although he does not take care of his own self-esteem, they are all true.

"Hey." The old man sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling city under his feet through the floor-to-ceiling window, leaving only Zhao Huasheng and Meng Zhuo with a slightly rickety, but still very generous back.

"Watson, to tell you the truth, I don't have the confidence to overcome this crisis." The old man said, "The mass of the sun is more than a million times the mass of the earth, and we are still so powerless in the face of a small earth, let alone the sun." But you also know in your heart that these words cannot be said in public. The only thing I can do is to tilt resources in this direction as much as possible, so that scientists and engineers can pursue that ethereal little hope on behalf of us as a whole. ”

"To tell you the truth, when I first received the news, I was almost in despair. But fortunately, I received the next message immediately after, and I knew that Director Li Qi had long been aware of these things, and that Director Li Qi had left the only relic to you, and that you could answer all our questions...... I've been in contact with Richie and know what kind of person Richie is. Since Richie said that you can answer all our doubts, then you must be able to do it. In this case, if my confidence in the science and technology of our human civilization is one percent, then my confidence in Richie ...... At least twenty percent. ”

"So...... Now, Watson, I put that twenty percent hope on you. The old man turned around and put a solemn gaze on Zhao Huasheng, "I know that you are also confused now, and you can't figure out what is going on, but since Li Qi did this, then Li Qi must have a reason for him to do this." If Richie believes in you, I believe in you. ”

"Watson, I will provide you with all the resources you need, as long as you think it is necessary, as long as you think it will help you understand what Li Qi means, even if you want to go to the moon, I can satisfy you." The old man walked over and patted Li Qi on the shoulder, and said gently, "You can tell Meng Zhuo if you need anything, and Meng Zhuo will take care of everything for you." So be it, Watson, and remember, you have the fate of humanity in your hands. ”

The old man turned to leave, and only Zhao Huasheng and Meng Zhuo were left in the conference room.

Zhao Huasheng leaned back in his seat, covering his face with his hands, and his mind was in chaos.

"Why me...... Why me? Brother Li, why did you choose me in the end? ”

"In the future, for the sake of understanding and communication between us, I will call you One." Meng Zhuo said coldly, "You can call me number two. ”

Zhao Huasheng smiled reluctantly: "Where is there so much trouble, I'll call you by your name." ”

"Yes." Meng Zhuo still looked cold, "One, please give me instructions on what to do next. ”

"Let's go home first, go home...... Let me take a break. Zhao Huasheng reluctantly stood up and walked towards the door of the conference room.

The car was still driven by Meng Zhuo, and Zhao Huasheng sat on the co-pilot, and his mind didn't know where it flew for a long time. Even, Zhao Huasheng felt that the world he saw was so unreal, the flow of people, the long queue of vehicles, the towering buildings, and even the slightly dim sun hanging in the sky all revealed a false meaning.

"How so, how so?" This sentence has always hovered in Zhao Huasheng's mind.

Since the Sun was born out of primitive interstellar gases, it has been burning smoothly for more than four billion years. Compared with this time scale, the 5,000 years of human civilization can be said to be almost instantaneous. But in the blink of an eye, the sun changed dramatically. And it just so happened that in this snap of a finger, human civilization has developed and has some preliminary interstellar exploration capabilities.

Within six hours of the Sunshake, a comprehensive organization was set up that integrated the Crisis Management Department, the Scientific Research Department, the Psychological Intervention Department, and so on. This body was named the Solar Crisis Coordination Center, and the head of the Human Alliance himself served as the center of the processing center, and the old man himself gave the power to coordinate and control any other departments during the crisis.

The first is to explore the internal physical mechanism of such changes in the sun and find solutions, and the second is to find ways to pass on human civilization in the face of unsolvable crises. The matter between Li Qi and Zhao Huasheng has not been made public. Those who knew these things were limited to those top scientists who attended the meeting in the morning, as well as a few high-ranking members of the Human Alliance. As the old man said, I pin my greatest hopes on you, and give you the greatest authority and resources, but these things cannot be said in public.

For this, Zhao Huasheng is understandable.

The first day of the weekend was spent in this strange situation. Zhao Huasheng nested at home for a day, did not eat, did not answer the phone, Zhao Huasheng just sat quietly in his seat, motionless.

Meng Zhuo just stood next to Zhao Huasheng, like a sculpture.

It was only one day, and Zhao Huasheng was deeply haggard. It wasn't until the evening that Zhao Huasheng sighed and said in a voice that was so hoarse that he couldn't believe it: "Meng Zhuo, you go to sleep in the guest room." ”

After placing Meng Zhuo, Zhao Huasheng also fell asleep. But even in his sleep, Zhao Huasheng's thoughts were still unstable. Zhao Huasheng always dreamed of the cries of countless people, the collapse of high-rise buildings, the land covered with ice and snow, and the tragic death of countless people...... Sometimes I would dream of Richie, and dream of the last thing Richie said to himself before going home: "Goodbye"......

Zhao Huasheng knows that from today onwards, his fate has undergone earth-shaking changes. This change began from the moment Li Qi invited himself to drink together, and from the moment Li Qi kept his only relic to himself.

The sky is getting brighter. Although he was extremely tired, Zhao Huasheng still woke up in the early morning.

Today is the day after the solar crisis. Not to Zhao Huasheng's expectations, today's temperature is a little lower than yesterday, and the sun has become darker. This made Zhao Huasheng have to turn out the long sleeves and trousers that had been sealed long ago, and put on spring and autumn clothes in this midsummer.

The temperature will still drop, and it will go down inexorably. Although the specific heat capacity of water is very large, although more than 70% of the earth's surface is made up of oceans, and although the earth has a thick atmosphere that can hold heat, this is still not enough. When the root of a matter changes, no matter how many other things happen, it can only slow down the pace of development. In the midst of this solar crisis, the reduction in solar radiation levels is at the root of the event.
