Chapter 41: Decisions that cannot be made
Zhao Huasheng's words made many people feel a little puzzled. What do you mean to be in now? What does it mean to be in the worst-case scenario now?
Zhao Huasheng paused slightly, and then continued: "When I said these words, I felt a little sad. Since when has the idea that "things aren't going to get worse" become good news? β¦β¦ Probably, it can only be called good news now that the situation keeps getting worse. β
Zhao Huasheng raised his head and set his gaze on the sun that was already dim, but still hanging in the sky. Zhao Huasheng raised his arm, pointed at the yang and said, "Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the yang surface is six thousand Kai. Now, the surface temperature of the yang surface is 4,005 Kelvin. The temperature of the sunny surface has been reduced by 25 thousandths. But as I said, four thousand and a half Kelvin is the lowest point of the temperature of the yang surface, and it will not go any further. From now on, in our future, the possibility that "the situation is worse than the present" has been ruled out, and there are only two possibilities for our future: first, the situation is the same as the present, and second, the situation is better than the present. That's right, there are only two possibilities. β
"Mr. Zhao Huasheng, may I ask, what is the basis for your judgment? Can you tell us? A reporter asked.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you the arguments for this judgment at this time. But my judgment is easily confirmed. From this moment on, sky enthusiasts who have a simple yang observation instrument in their hands can start monitoring the temperature data on the yang surface to verify whether what I said is true. Since the outbreak of the yang crisis, the surface temperature of the yang has been decreasing every day, but tomorrow, this number will not go down any further. β
Zhao Huasheng does not have the ability to predict and will not know what will happen tomorrow, but Zhao Huasheng has this certainty.
"In addition to the fact that the temperature of the sun will not decrease any longer, if there are no accidents, my speculation about the cause of the cooling of the sun will be verified in the near future. When that time comes, I will tell you all about my speculation as it is, so that everyone knows who our enemy really is and who has taken away our yang. β
"I'm not, but I'm confident enough to lead you out of the current situation." Zhao Huasheng said, took a step back and left the microphone, and then bowed deeply to the front.
"Zhao Huasheng! Zhao Huasheng! Zhao Huasheng! At this moment, after Zhao Huasheng's figure disappeared from here, boundless cheers resounded throughout the world, the entire earth, and countless people were shouting this name.
Amid the endless cheers, Mr. Zhao waved at the crowd and the uncountable number of cameras piled up before returning to his home. The sound insulation at home is very good, as long as the window is closed and the door is closed, then no sound from the outside world will reach Zhao Huasheng's ears. But Zhao Huasheng seemed to hear the cheers that resounded throughout Equator City. In Zhao Huasheng's feelings, it was as if a stone had been thrown into a pool of stagnant water, and while making the pool ripple in circles, it also gave the pool of stagnant water a little more vitality.
This is the purpose of Zhao Huasheng. This matter was also approved by the FΓΌhrer. Human society has been silent for a long time, and it is like a person who is about to freeze to death in the ice and snow. He can only survive if he walks around, and if he stops and chooses to rest, he will really freeze to death.
Zhao Huasheng didn't want human society to die, so he chose to first reveal this good news that could not be regarded as good news to stimulate the behemoth of human society. And now it seems that Zhao Huasheng's goal has been achieved.
If the situation does not continue to deteriorate, it means that the lives of most people in human society can be guaranteed, and the food and energy supply will not be increased for the time being, but it will not be reduced for the time being...... As long as they can maintain their current standard of living, they are already satisfied.
After all, only by stabilizing first, and only when it is stabilized, can human society seek a way out of its predicament.
Zhao Huasheng sat in front of the desk, looking out the window attentively, silent. Li Wei came behind Zhao Huasheng at this time. She put her hands on Zhao Huasheng's shoulders and gently massaged Zhao Huasheng. Zhao Huasheng didn't move, didn't turn around and didn't speak. Zhao Huasheng just rubbed his forehead, and then relaxed, enjoying Li Wei's service.
"I have one thing to ask of you." Li Wei said.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Huasheng asked.
"About my brother." Li Wei's tone was a little lost, "I want to know what role my brother played in this yang crisis. Is he a positive or negative character? Does he need to be held responsible for this yang crisis? β
Zhao Huasheng was also silent. After a while, Zhao Huasheng replied, "Your brother didn't expect such a thing to happen. He...... His idea was good. He also wants to contribute to humanity. β
"But...... He ended up making a big mistake that caused the entire human race to suffer a great loss? β
"Yes." Zhao Huasheng said.
"My brother is dead." After a long silence, Li Wei said in a trembling voice, "He gave everything he had to atone for his crimes, and he left a hint that he hoped that humanity would finally solve this crisis." He's already doing his best to make amends. He's dead, so, I beg you, don't nail him to the pillar of shame in history again, is that okay? β
Zhao Huasheng finally sighed: "Yes, he is dead, and everything has happened." Even if we dig his bones out of the grave, it won't be of any use to reality. And...... We are now relying on your brother's shadow to get to where we are now, and the ultimate solution to this yang crisis needs to be unearthed from your brother's hints. β
"Li Wei, do you know? I have always revered your brother, who has been my idol ever since I was a big man. When I first speculated that your brother had committed such a grave crime against humanity, I had doubts, and I could not believe myself, but as my speculations continued to be verified, I had to accept it. Believe me, I suffer no less than you. β
Li Wei finally cried, her tears sliding down from her eyes, falling on Zhao Huasheng's shoulders one by one.
Li Wei's voice trembled a little: "I have long felt that my brother must be responsible for this yang crisis, whenever I think of the one who froze to death in the snow, the northern bear that was killed by Meng Zhuo, the thousands of people in this equatorial city who committed suicide because of despair, and the countless compatriots who died because of the cold...... My heart felt like a needle prick, I couldn't sleep all night, I always dreamed that my brother was still alive, that he was guillotined and killed by the angry people, and then the angry people bit by piece of his flesh...... I think my brother must have died in guilt and self-blame and pain, you ...... Can you let him go, and don't let him suffer after he dies, and even if he dies, he won't have peace, okay? β
Zhao Huasheng covered his face with some pain: "I can't make this decision." Even if your brother's intentions are good, and your brother tries his best to make up for it afterwards, he still makes a big mistake, which is a fact and cannot be denied. β
"I wish I could bear this sin on your brother's behalf, and I wish I could hide your brother's role in this incident from the public, but...... I can't. I'm sorry, Li Wei, I can't do it. β
"In this yang crisis, you, me, our friends, relatives, are not directly threatened by the yang crisis. Because of our status and identity, we are all well placed. We will still have enough warmth, enough food, and an unthreatened living environment. Frankly, we are all people living in the upper echelons of society. So, neither you nor I are qualified to forgive your brother on behalf of the public. Those who are qualified to forgive your brother are those who risk their lives on top of the flat ocean ice sheet to ensure the lifeline of Equatorial City, those who still work in factories, construction sites, and fields in the freezing cold of minus tens of temperatures, those who remain in non-equatorial areas because of their job responsibilities, and those who have lost their parents, lovers, and children in disasters. Only they are qualified to say whether to forgive or not, and only if they say to forgive your brother, your brother is truly forgiven. β
Zhao Huasheng stood up, then turned around and hugged Li Wei, who was constantly dripping big tears, in his arms tightly, "We shouldn't hide all this, even if we don't tell the truth of the matter, but ...... Will the torment in your heart and mine be lightened? Did your brother really get peace under the Nine Springs? No, it won't. Therefore, I choose to make the truth public, and then, you and I, the two of us, will work together to make up for your brother's mistakes, and the two of us will work together to seek the public's understanding of your brother with our contribution to human society. Only in this way can your brother attain true peace under the Nine Springs, and you and I can truly calm down in our hearts. β
Li Wei knows that Zhao Huasheng has always been a dull person. So Li Wei stopped talking, she also hugged Zhao Huasheng tightly, and let the tears slide down, wetting Zhao Huasheng's clothes.
