Chapter 197: Helplessness and Compromise

As early as when Zhao Lan was found to have a connection with the base and had been secretly providing cover for the base's movements, the decision to deprive Zhao Lan of all positions had been made within the scientific research department, and a new commander-in-chief of the space interdiction program had been appointed. The new Space Interruption Program is directed by a highly respected elderly scientist. The Führer believes that at this stage of the space interdiction plan, there is no need for too much innovative thinking, as long as it goes step by step, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, as long as there is no chaos. In this case, there is no doubt that older people are better suited for this position than younger ones.

The gerontologist's name is Victor. After Zhao Lan was arrested, he was in charge of matters related to the Space Interruption Program. In fact, as the Führer had expected, Victor's work was perfect, everything was going according to plan, and nothing went wrong.

Victor is a serious and calm person, unsmiling and extremely organized. It is precisely such a calm person that the Führer will rest assured that he will entrust this important matter related to the entire human civilization to do. But now, after receiving an urgent report from a monitoring team from the Ministry of Scientific Research, Victor has lost his temper.

At that moment, Victor's angry roar resounded throughout the research department: "Those bastards! Are they determined to push the earth and human civilization into the pit of fire? ”

"Are you sure that all the data in the report you submitted is true and correct?!" Victor yelled angrily at the young scientist who came to submit the report, and the young scientist was so frightened that he replied in a very reluctant and stumbling tone after hearing Victor ask himself, "Mr. Victor...... Yes, it is. Before submitting this report, I, we have double-checked dozens of times with the rest of the observation teams, and we, we confirm the accuracy of the data in this report. ”

"Immediately notify and call an emergency meeting!" Victor roared again.

The meeting lasted three hours. It's late at night. The elderly Victor could not take care of rest. Hurried to the Führer's residence. The Führer, who had already rested, got up again after hearing his assistant mention that Victor, the commander-in-chief of the Space Interruption Program, had a major emergency report.

The Führer had a faint sense of foreboding. The Führer knew what kind of person Victor was, so that Victor, who had always been calm and serious, could urgently come and report to him at this time...... Then the matter must be significant.

While waiting for Victor's arrival, the Führer had been pacing in the reception room, and the Führer, who had never smoked, smoked two cigarettes in a row in just ten minutes.

Victor came to the Führer's mansion with a gloomy face, and without caring about being polite, he said directly to the Führer: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid that the space blocking plan will not be able to be implemented. ”

The Führer's palm clenched tightly at this moment. The Führer barely maintained the composure of his tone, and then asked, "What the hell is going on?" Why can't the Space Interruption Program be executed? ”

Victor gritted his teeth and said, "It's not because of those bastards! Because they stole the hydrogen bomb spaceship. And the hydrogen bomb spacecraft was detonated at the third space node! ”

The Führer then asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Victor, what does this mean?" ”

Victor sat on the sofa opposite the Führer, took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the coffee table and put it in his mouth, and took a lighter in his other hand, but the other hand was too shaky to aim the flame at the cigarette butt. Victor took a few deep breaths, lit his cigarette, and then took a big puff.

"I won't show you the specific observation data. Let me briefly report to you about it. Victor said, "You know. The use of high-yield hydrogen bombs to carry out the space interdiction program is the plan we have determined, and you should also know that the most powerful hydrogen bomb we can build is just enough to meet the requirements of the space interdiction program. But did you know...... Zhao Lan's gang detonated a hydrogen bomb spacecraft at the No. 3 space node, and the exploded hydrogen bomb spacecraft increased the space curvature of Lobachevsky's space. The increase in space curvature has led to the insufficiency of super-large yield hydrogen bombs, which were just enough...... Yes, even if we still have the original plan to make these hydrogen bomb ships explode at their intended locations, we will not be able to stop the Earth from falling into other dimensions...... Because the curvature of Lobachevsky's space has increased compared to before......"

The Führer's face turned pale in an instant. At this moment, even with the self-cultivation of the Führer. couldn't help but feel an urge to strangle Zhao Lan to death in his heart. The Führer roared angrily: "Zhao Lan, bastard! I said why did their gang steal a hydrogen bomb ship and detonate it at the third space node, so they had this idea! Isn't it, is it that you really want to see human civilization die in despair? This is the most heinous crime against humanity, and it is a grave crime against the entire human civilization! When Zhao Lan is tried in court, I must personally appear in court as a witness to accuse her! ”

The Führer's chest rose and fell violently, his face flushed, and he coughed violently after shouting these words. The assistant immediately came from outside, took out a white tablet and poured a glass of water, and the Führer drank the pill before calming down a little.

At this time, it occurred to the Führer that in the recent past, he had been emotionally out of control three times in a row, the first was the black hole incident at the base, the second was the theft of the hydrogen bomb spacecraft at Earth Harbor, and the third time was now. And these three things...... Every piece, every piece is related to Zhao Lan!

The Führer struggled to control his emotions, but his voice was still a little shaky: "Ministry of Scientific Research...... Has the Ministry of Research assessed this matter? What are you going to do? ”

"We don't know what to do." Victor said with some gloom, "There is only a little more than a month left until the scheduled time, and we will never have a chance if we miss this time period." And in such a short period of time...... How can we possibly find a more powerful way to burst energy than a large-yield hydrogen bomb? ”

"If there is no way, we will have to prepare to fall into another dimension." The Führer muttered, "Who knows what the other dimension is like? There are so many uncertainties, and the possibility of our human civilization dying is too great......"

Victor was just about to say something, but at this moment, the communication device that Victor was carrying with him rang. After Victor connected, he only said the word "hey" and stopped talking. Eager voices continued to come from the earpiece, and the Führer couldn't hear what was being said inside, only to see Victor's face becoming more and more solemn.

Victor listened for more than ten minutes before putting down the phone. The Führer asked: "What happened again?" ”

Victor showed a wry smile on his face: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid that your idea of personally appearing in court to accuse Zhao Lan will come to naught." My suggestion is that instead of accusing Zhao Lan, you should release her from now on and restore her to the position of commander-in-chief of the Space Interruption Program. ”

The Führer slapped the table angrily and shouted loudly: "She has committed such a serious crime against human civilization, I want to strangle her to death now, why should I release her from prison?" ”

Victor said quietly, "Just now...... The Executive Committee reported to me that they had found a way to burst energy that was more powerful than the super-yield hydrogen bomb...... It's a black hole...... The radiation of a black hole at the end of its life is unusually violent, which is a more powerful way of energy than a hydrogen bomb explosion...... If we use this black hole to replace the originally scheduled hydrogen bomb spacecraft of Space Node 3...... There is a silver lining to the success of our space interdiction program...... And Zhao Lan is the person who knows the black hole and the space blocking plan best, and no one is more suitable for this position than her. ”

"But......" said the Führer hesitantly, "Zhao Lan is a profound anti-human element, and even if she is suitable for this position, I cannot give her this position......"

Victor directly interrupted the Führer's words: "Your Excellency, don't you understand? All of this is actually Zhao Lan's plan. I still remember that at the meeting where it was decided to carry out the space interdiction program, Zhao Lan objected that according to her calculations, the existing hydrogen bomb yield was not enough to meet the needs of the space interdiction program, and Zhao Lan suggested that we should find a higher way to burst energy. At the beginning, the Ministry of Scientific Research directly rejected Zhao Lan's proposal with a disparity in votes. ”

Victor paused and continued: "I can be sure that although the Ministry of Scientific Research rejected Zhao Lan's proposal, Zhao Lan did not give up on this idea. Zhao Lan firmly adhered to his point of view, and had been looking for a more powerful way to burst out of energy. Obviously, the miniature black hole that I don't know where it came from and how Zhao Lan got it is what Zhao Lan imagined, something more powerful than the hydrogen bomb. Zhao Lan has been envisioning using this hydrogen bomb to replace the hydrogen bomb spacecraft on the third space node, but we directly rejected Zhao Lan's proposal, so Zhao Lan will take the next series of measures to force us to implement the space interruption plan according to her plan. ”

"Now Zhao Lan has succeeded." Victor said quietly, "We have been forced to a desperate situation, and we have no other way than to adopt Zhao Lan's plan. (To be continued......)
