Equateur City has gradually settled down. While the environment is still harsh, and the shadow of cold and death still hovers over Equatorial City, at least the situation will not continue to deteriorate. And as long as it stabilizes, the measures taken by human governments to deal with disasters will reap many benefits.

But the number of human beings is still declining inexorably. The statistical reports of the government clearly show that the difference between the continuation of the bad situation and the non-bad situation is simply whether the human race is dying out quickly or slowly. In other words, with the current situation, the future of humanity will still be extinction, but this time process has been much longer.

"The birth rate has fallen to a minimum, and the number of deaths each year is at a record high due to the cold and accidents. So far, the average number of new births per month in recent months has been 100,000 – a figure 10 times lower than before the crisis, and the number of deaths per month is 150,000, a double that figure was before the crisis. Note that the figure of 150,000 deaths per month is the number of deaths in Equateur City, which is now largely stable, and does not include deaths during the Great Migration and Cataclysm. ”

"According to the projections of the population, if the earth continues in its current state, our human race will be reduced to less than one billion people in fifty years, less than 500 million in eighty years, and less than 10 million people in 15 years. At that time, due to the shortage of scientific researchers, our scientific and technological progress will fall into serious stagnation, and because of the increasing pressure of survival and the death of many excellent people who have mastered a large amount of knowledge, there will be a fault in the inheritance of knowledge. We humans will begin to degrade slowly, until our knowledge is not enough to cope with the harsh environment, and then we humans will disappear from the face of the earth completely. ”

At the same time, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Ministry of Scientific Research jointly made a prediction, which is that from now on, if we cannot solve the yang crisis in 20 years, then we may never be able to solve it in the future. Because our human strength is constantly declining, we can now organize a large number of scientific researchers, engineers, etc. to carry out huge engineering construction, and in 20 years, we may not still have such ability. Therefore, these 20 years are related to the life and death of our human beings. ”

This is in front of Zhao Huasheng, the information that has just been passed over from the Ministry of Scientific Research.

Zhao Huasheng can understand everything described in the piece. Think about it, a spaceship will take up the entire energy of tens of thousands of excellent scientists and engineers for five years, if the total number of human beings is reduced to only a few tens of millions of people...... How could humanity support such a huge project again?

In fact, Zhao Huasheng believes that the evaluation report of the Ministry of Scientific Research is still optimistic. Zhao Huasheng believes that human time is only ten years, not twenty years. Because Zhao Huasheng knows how terrible despair and numbness are, and he also knows how terrifying they are. After all, only a few people can maintain their high morale in the face of adversity, and the two emotions of despair and numbness will slowly eat away from the human body before the disaster crushes the human being.

Zhao Huasheng put down the information in his hand, Meng Zhuo walked in at this time, and said to Zhao Huasheng: "Everything is ready, the heads of state, heads of major government agencies, scientific research departments, people from all walks of life, media organizations, etc. are all in place, and they are waiting for you now." ”

Zhao Huasheng nodded: "Okay, send me over now." ”

So Meng Zhuo took Zhao Huasheng to a huge conference room in the Equator City Government Residence. Zhao Huasheng will tell his speculation here, in front of everyone here, and through the media present, he will announce his discovery to the world, telling the whole human race who the enemy we are facing is.

When approaching the venue, the huge venue that was enough to accommodate more than 5,000 people returned to silence at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Huasheng, and all the camera lenses were also aimed at Zhao Huasheng. Zhao Huasheng's figure appeared on the screen of almost every TV or other electrical device on the earth at this moment, and everyone held their breath at this moment.

The staff at the venue led Zhao Huasheng forward, and Zhao Huasheng sat down next to the head of state on the rostrum, and then nodded to the old man, even if he said hello. The old man's face remained calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy.

"I'm Zhao Huasheng." Zhao Huasheng calmly said this sentence into the microphone, and then this sentence spread throughout the venue and to all corners of the world.

"Over the past year, I've found enough evidence to support my speculation, and I think I already know the cause of the Yang crisis. With the Führer's consent, I have decided to make my speculation known to each and every one of us humans. Because I think each of us has the right to know who our enemies are, and each of us has the right to know what kind of being we've been fighting for. ”

"To put it simply, what we need to fight against is a Ming. A Ming, like us human beings, has its own complete social structure, its own joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows, its own transformation, and its own values. This Ming lives above the yang. ”

When Zhao Huasheng calmly said this paragraph, the entire venue erupted in exclamations like landslides and tsunamis. Although they had already guessed in their hearts, many people still felt shocked when they heard Zhao Huasheng confirm the news without ambiguity at this moment.

"In the following, I will tell you all my speculations, as well as the evidence basis for making this speculation, as well as the causes and consequences of this incident." Zhao Huasheng said calmly. After Zhao Huasheng said this, the noisy conference hall calmed down again at this moment.

"The story starts about two years ago...... Zhao Huasheng said lightly, telling the stories that happened to Li Qi bit by bit, without any reservations.

Zhao Huasheng revisited the two years that changed the course of the entire human history, and everyone in the venue, as well as everyone on the earth, also followed Zhao Huasheng's words to relive that time.

"Like I said, Director Li Qi created a demon with his own hands, and then sent this demon back to the yang with his own hands. Although I had a close relationship with Director Li Qi - as you all know, Director Li Qi has always been my idol, and I have maintained a close relationship with him as a teacher and friend while he was still alive, and his sister, Li Wei, is my fiancée. But I will still say unabashedly that it was the mistake made by Litchie that pushed us humanity to the brink of destruction. I'm not going to excuse the mistakes that Richie made. ”

"I just want to say that since we humans have come to this situation, the first task now is not to hold accountable, but to solve the problem. Just like if we are in a car accident, the first thing we think about is to save people first, and then we will determine responsibility. Solving the problem is the most important thing, and I, Zhao Huasheng, I have the confidence to solve this yang crisis. I have solved the first stage puzzle, and I am equally confident that I will solve the second stage puzzle. ”

"I will take responsibility for any mistakes made by Director Rich. In order to solve the yang crisis, I can pay any price, including my life. I will repay Director Li Qi's sins, and then, after I have resolved the Yang crisis, I will leave the choice of whether or not to forgive Director Li Qi. ”

"I'm done, thank you." Zhao Huasheng stood up and bowed deeply to everyone in the venue and to all the living or dead people in the world.

When Zhao Huasheng wanted to straighten his waist again, Zhao Huasheng felt a little struggling. It's as if a thousand burdens are on my shoulders. In addition to this burden, there is not only the expectation of human society and the responsibility to save the whole of humanity, but also the heaviest debt. It is a heavy debt that cannot be repaid by selling all the flesh and blood, all the feelings, and all the wisdom.

This debt originally did not belong to Zhao Huasheng, because it was a debt owed by Li Qi, but Zhao Huasheng decided to repay it on his behalf.

Everyone in the venue, including the head of state, stood up at the same time at this moment and expressed their respect to Zhao Huasheng with silence and solemnity. This is not because of the ability that Zhao Huasheng may have to save mankind, but purely to express his respect to Zhao Huasheng as a person.

Such a heavy burden, even thinking about it will make people feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts, and even the head of state does not dare to make this promise easily, but ...... Zhao Huasheng took it on like this.

If they don't pay tribute to this responsibility and courage, people don't know what else in this world is worthy of their respect.

Zhao Huasheng straightened his waist, his expression still calm. At this moment, Li Wei, who was in front of the TV and saw everything, had already burst into tears. At this time, she seemed to hear what Zhao Huasheng wanted to tell herself.

"What a heavy burden that is...... How can I be willing to let you carry it? My love, let me carry all this in your place. ”
