The intelligent wheelchair gently brought Wang Hao to the porthole of the spaceship. Looking at the shining stars in the distance, Wang Hao's mood was unusually calm. Although Wang Hao knew very well that the star was about to kill him.

It's not something hard to accept. Perhaps, rather than dragging this broken body to continue to live, in the roar of the stars, under the gaze of hundreds of millions of people, it is a better choice to calmly enter death as a hero.

"No matter what, I did my best."

The stars in the distance suddenly grew brighter and brighter. As its brightness increased, at this moment, a slight crackling sound was heard from inside the Ryujin spaceship. There seemed to be some electric current jumping, and there was even some smoke rising from some part of the ship.

A slight feeling of dizziness hit Wang Hao's mind. So Wang Hao knew that those gamma rays were not only destroying the spaceship, but also destroying his own body.

Such a broken body, such a level of gamma rays, the two meet, and it will inevitably bring death.

If precautions had been taken as much as possible and the Ryujin spacecraft had been put into safe mode, the gamma rays from this eruption would not have necessarily caused such a noticeable reaction. But Wang Hao knew that it was useless. At most, it could delay its death for a few hours, and it would make itself suffer a lot. Rather than that, it's better to be happy and not do any defenses.

"Goodbye, goodbye."

The corners of Wang Hao's mouth barely showed a smile, and then he closed his eyes. After the smart wheelchair, a faint flame had already appeared, and after a short time, it turned into a raging fire, completely engulfing Wang Hao's body.

At Base 105, the crowd is still confronting police and soldiers. On the huge open-air screen, Wang Hao's figure has disappeared. A solemn voice slowly spoke: "Wang Hao has been sacrificed. ”

A low, muffled cry finally erupted from the crowd. A large number of government workers also appeared at this time and began to persuade and comfort these people who refused to disperse. At this time, General Lei Zhen's palm, which had been clenched tightly into a fist, finally let go. He knew he didn't have to give the order he didn't want to give. In the head of state's office, Shen Qingyuan also knew that he had survived another political crisis.

Wang Hao's death has almost swept away the criticism of this policy in public opinion, and the original boiling opposition has disappeared. Under the strong leadership of the government, after the outbreak of Phoenix Star subsided, large-scale relocation work began. Countless people have left their homes and moved into lower-tier cities where the living conditions are much worse, and some wealthy people have relocated to higher cities with better environment, safer and more convenient life after paying a lot of taxes.

A large number of industrial facilities related to scientific research began to be built, and under the leadership of Dr. Huang Yuan, the research projects that had been backlogged for a long time due to lack of funds in the past were launched one after another, and with the entire civilization as the logistics and drive, the giant wheel of science once again began to move slowly.

But Shen Qingyuan knew that this situation could not last long. People are always emotional and always forgetful. He used Wang Hao as a weapon to successfully promote the implementation of economic reform measures, and suppressed opposition voices without further intensifying the contradictions. However, the name Wang Hao will always be slowly forgotten by people, and his deeds will slowly fade away. However, the deterioration of the living environment, the shortage of various materials, and the increasingly strong work pressure have always existed, and they have stimulated people's emotions all the time. Someday, these emotions will erupt again and coalesce into an even stronger opposition, but Shen Qingyuan doesn't have a good way to deal with it.

Propaganda and stricter control of public opinion and society, or strengthening security forces, sending a large number of soldiers and police to monitor social dynamics in real time, and quelling any riots as quickly as possible can only slow down the process, but cannot stop it.

The resources at the disposal of a civilization are limited, and if one aspect is tilted, the other will inevitably be in short supply. This contradiction is real and will not be eliminated by any spiritual force.

"I only hope that you will find a solution to the problem before society completely collapses. We are not only in a race against time, but also against ourselves. ”

Shen Qingyuan calmly said these words to Dr. Huang Yuan. The huge pressure contained in his words made Huang Yuan's already somewhat rickety waist bend even more.

"Führer, the laws of science do not depend on the will of man. I can't make any guarantees to you. Dr. Huang Yuan's voice was full of bitterness.

Shen Qingyuan said lightly: "You just need to know that every consumable, every scrapped part, and every tool used by you in your scientific research is snatched out of the hands of the people." People could have exchanged them for food, comfortable shelters, or fancy clothes. But all of that is now gone. If you fail in the end, not only me, but not only you, but all scientists and scholars who claim to be knowledgeable and carry the hopes of mankind will be nailed to the pillar of shame in human history. If we still have history. ”

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Dr. Huang's forehead.

The conversation didn't last long, but after that, Huang Yuan didn't sleep for three days. He was obviously extremely sleepy, but whenever he lay on the bed and closed his eyes, it was as if he saw countless ragged people surrounding him, constantly demanding money from him.

"My son is sick, you hurry up and return the money you owe me, I'm going to take him to the doctor."

"I'm so hungry, Huang Yuan, pay back the money, pay back, I want to eat!"

"I haven't bought new clothes to wear for a long time, Huang Yuan, can you give me back the money and let me buy a new dress?"

"Mom, Mom, why won't he give us back?"

The voices that appeared in his ears were complicated, but the strange thing was that Huang Yuan could clearly distinguish every word. Everyone gathered around him looked eager, everyone was yellow and thin, and everyone was repeating the same word.

"Pay back!"

"Pay back!"

"Pay back!"

This kind of torture made Huang Yuan's spirit almost deranged. On the third day, he had to get some strong sleeping pills from his doctor to prescribe him, so he could barely sleep. After waking up, Huang Yuan didn't even have time to wash, so he put on a piece of clothing and went straight to the research institute.

Only at work, only when racking your brains to analyze data, arrange experiments, and make theoretical calculations, will the auditory hallucinations in your ears disappear. Once stopped, the sounds would come back. As if sensing the teacher's emotional changes, Mo Xiangsheng became much quieter, and no longer always made those unbelievable requests to Huang Yuan.

Time passed quietly under this eerie silence. After the relocation work came to an end and the new economic reform plan began to be implemented in an orderly manner, Shen Qingyuan called Han Luochang to his office again.

It doesn't feel good to lose power and be completely hollowed out by an economic adviser sent by the Economic Reform Commission. But Han Luochang didn't show this. He still insists on getting to and from work on time every day, and has long been accustomed to sitting behind his desk all day. He thought that he had been forgotten, but he didn't expect that Shen Qingyuan would summon him again.

Shen Qingyuan did not make the slightest politeness with Han Luo, but spoke directly.

"There are two things that come to you this time. First, the matter of resurrection and Han Yue, if you and I, as well as the two children, have no opinion, then let's settle it. It's possible to have a small-scale wedding, but I don't think it's appropriate to make it public. ”

Han Luochang was slightly stunned. Before coming, he had imagined many situations, but he didn't expect that Shen Qingyuan would mention this matter to him.

"Yes." After a slight silence, Han Luochang also replied very happily.

No matter how different the political views were, no matter whether they got along happily on official business or not, he couldn't deny that Shen Fusheng, a young man, was indeed a good match for his daughter. And he could see that Shen Fusheng's feelings for Han Yue were not false in the slightest. Similarly, Han Yue also poured all her feelings into Shen Fusheng. This pair of young people was a match made in heaven, and they had no reason to oppose it.

"The second thing is that I intend to transfer you out of the Ministry of Industry and Science and put you as the chairman of the Integrity Committee."

Han Luo was so shocked that he almost stood up: "What? Let me be the chairman of the Commission Against Corruption? ”

There is no doubt that the Commission of Integrity is a powerful department, and the chairman of the committee is the most powerful person in the whole civilization. After being put in the air, he originally thought that his political life was over, but he would never have imagined that Shen Qingyuan would make such an arrangement anyway.

In particular, Shen Qingyuan knew that he was at odds with him politically, and he was transferred to such an important position, so he was not afraid that he would hinder his economic reform policies? Or did he think that he would change his political leanings because he had married his children?

No, it's impossible, I'm not that kind of person, and Shen Qingyuan must know this. Shen Qingyuan must have some reason for this arrangement.

At this moment, Han Luochang's mind was spinning rapidly, and he made many guesses in an instant, and then denied them one by one. Eventually, he gave up on conjecture and asked directly, "Why?" ”

Shen Qingyuan said lightly: "Wu Wei is a person who can do things. The policy of economic reform will certainly be carried out in his hands. But I was afraid that his tactics would be too drastic, so I had to put some restrictions on him. ”

Han Luo often asked again, "Then what do you do?" ”

Shen Qingyuan said: "I'm going to hibernate. ”
