After Zhao Huasheng came to his own conclusion, the venue fell silent again. The Führer frowned, thought for more than ten minutes, and then said slowly: "Focus on positive response plans, supplemented by negative response plans." ”

"Both programs will be done at the same time. We will carry out large-scale space launches, build an intelligence collection network for the solar civilization, and at the same time, the solar reflection program will also be carried out, and a large number of solar reflectors will enter space, and strive to improve the living environment of our human beings at the moment. As for the future...... Let's see what we can get from the sun. If it is confirmed that the solar civilization still has good intentions towards us, then the possibility of implementing a medium response plan in the future cannot be ruled out. ”

The Führer did not give a clear answer, but this reply made his position clear. At the same time, it is most appropriate to do so in the circumstances.

The core of this response plan is that when it is impossible to determine whether the other party is benign or malicious, the other side must first interpret the other party's behavior with the greatest malice. Because only in this way can you avoid bringing additional losses to your own side. From a game theory point of view, this behavior is the most plausible.

Following the decision, the meeting discussed some details of the implementation of the follow-up programme. The meeting was adjourned until dark.

Zhao Huasheng walked out of the venue a little tired, and a person next to him caught up from behind and patted Zhao Huasheng on the shoulder. Zhao Huasheng turned around and saw Wang Tang's face.

"Watson, I agree with you." Wang Tang said, "Only hell is the best destination for those alien dregs. ”

"Thank you." Zhao Huasheng said, "Is the Crimson Heart spaceship okay?" ”

"It's okay, the crew is also very nice. Vivica's radiation sickness has been brought under control and she is recovering to health, while the rest of the group have recovered. When did Captain Lagher return to Earth come to you for a drink and thank you in person for saving your life. Wang Tang said with a smile.

"It's good if there's nothing going on. Tell Laguel that I'm looking forward to the day when I'll drink with him. ”

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring it for you." Wang Tang said, "Then again, Watson, I've always been curious about what was the reason why Director Li Qi chose you to take on this responsibility in the first place? What was it about you that made Director Li Qi think you could take on this responsibility? ”

"Oh," Zhao Huasheng said with a smile, "I didn't know much about it myself until I solved this puzzle, but when I confirmed that there was a civilization living above the sun, I probably understood, perhaps...... These are some of my speculations about the possible existence of extraterrestrial civilizations during a casual conversation with Director Li Qi in the past. ”

"Oh? What is this speculation? Wang Tang said with great interest.

Zhao Huasheng said: "It's nothing more than some fanciful things, such as the existence of creatures above the stars, for example, the understanding of eating by stellar creatures may be completely different from ours, and may even be completely opposite." At the beginning, he was just young and frivolous, and he dared to think about anything, and he didn't care about the rationality and logic behind these things at all. However, it was crooked, and it happened to hit some of the characteristics of plasma lifeforms. I think that Director Li Qi must have already made plasma life at that time, and already had a certain understanding, and it just so happened that I talked about these things in small talk...... That's why Director Li Qi gradually paid attention to me, who was just an intern at the time, and at the last moment, he simply put the burden of solving the puzzle on me. ”

"As it turned out, Director Li Qi was right. It just so happens that it takes a wild imagination to solve the puzzles he left behind, and you just have that quality. ”

"It's just luck...... Zhao Huasheng rubbed his forehead and said.

At this moment, we have reached the end of the corridor. After waving goodbye to Wang Tang, Zhao Huasheng came to the car driven by Meng Zhuo.

"You can arrange it for me, I'm going back to work at the Stellar Physics Institute. I have a hunch that the solution to the destruction of the solar civilization lies in the Institute. Zhao Huasheng said.

"Okay, I'll help you arrange, starting tomorrow, you will become the new director of the Institute of Stellar Physics, and you will preside over the overall work of the Institute." Mondro replied.

"It couldn't be better." Zhao Huasheng said.

Zhao Huasheng once again returned to the Institute of Stellar Physics, where he had worked for more than two years. The Stellar Physics Institute is not located in Equatorial City, but in the City of Life. So Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei's family, as well as Meng Zhuo, also moved to the City of Life to live. Although the city of life is short of land and resources, the institute is still extremely large and complete. More than 10,000 researchers work in it at any given moment. Because the Institute of Stellar Physics is at the forefront of the fight against the solar crisis, it will inevitably be supported by the most abundant resources.

The City of Life was not built as a fully enclosed urban agglomeration as previously planned, because it would be too expensive, and since the temperature of the sun would remain around 4,500 degrees Kelvin and would not drop again, there was really no need for the City of Life to be built as a fully enclosed city.

Although the City of Life is as cold as Equator City, it is where more than 80% of the scientists of the entire human civilization work, so the living environment of the City of Life is still much better than that of Equator City. Zhao Huasheng and Li Wei were arranged to live in a residential building in the building complex of the Stellar Physics Institute.

Studying stars is Zhao Huasheng's job, and Zhao Huasheng is here, where he and many scientific researchers have carried out research on the sun. Zhao Huasheng seems to have forgotten the responsibilities he has carried, and has given up trying to find a way to destroy the solar civilization, Zhao Huasheng is just doing his own job, just like other researchers working here.

No one knew what Zhao Huasheng was thinking, and even Li Wei didn't know why Zhao Huasheng chose such a lifestyle. But no one urged or reminded Zhao Huasheng of anything. Because everyone knows what kind of person Zhao Huasheng is, Zhao Huasheng chooses to do this, so there must be a reason why he needs to do it.

In addition to his daily work, Zhao Huasheng also pays attention to the latest progress of the scientific research department. So Zhao Huasheng knew that the latest recyclable rocket had been successfully developed, which reduced the cost of human space activities by more than 100 times, Zhao Huasheng knew that in just a few months, at least 30 satellites equipped with high-precision optical solar telescopes were launched into space, rushing to the sun 150 million kilometers away, and knew that the 100 solar reflectors that were successfully developed in the early stage were about to be ready to enter space to carry out their work......

Among these information, the recyclable rocket is a new type of rocket system. In the past, the high cost of launch has always been the biggest shortcoming restricting human large-scale space activities. Among the high launch costs, the rocket body, which can only be used once, occupies a large part. Think about how many expensive precision instruments would be contained in a 70-meter-long Hercules rocket with a diameter of more than 10 meters, compared to which the fuel used to propel the rocket into space is nothing compared to these precision instruments. However, such an expensive rocket body can only be used once, and after sending the payload into space, the rocket body will burn up in the process of falling into the atmosphere, turning into a pile of broken copper and iron of little value.

And the new recoverable rocket is completely different. After the payload is sent into space, there will still be residual fuel in the rocket body, which will support the rocket body to return to the atmosphere at a relatively gentle speed, and then land in the designated position. As a result, these rocket bodies can be reused twice, three times, or even more times as long as they are replaced with some necessary parts, overhauled, and then added with new fuel. It is this new technology that greatly reduces the cost of launch.

The solar reflector is intended to be launched into space using these new rockets. Each solar reflector has an area of one square kilometer, it is made of new materials, it is extremely light and thin, and it only takes a rocket to launch a reflector into space. Once in space, the ion engines mounted on them propel them into a suitable orbit and at the right angle to reflect the sun's rays that would otherwise not hit the Earth.

The first 100 solar reflectors were targeted in the City of Life. So in the past two months, after all the 100 reflectors were launched into space, and then all of them started working, even in the daytime, Zhao Huasheng raised his head and could see the 100 bright stars in the sky.

At such close distances and extremely high albedo, they are even brighter than Venus.

Venus is cold, and these solar reflectors are red-hot. They are constantly bringing light and warmth to the earth.

When Zhao Huasheng saw these hundred bright stars, Zhao Huasheng felt as if something in his heart had been touched.

Zhao Huasheng looked at the sun, and then said: "Under the crisis, not only you will break out in science and technology, but we humans will also. In terms of aerospace science and technology, it took us less than a year and a half to complete the road that would have taken at least 20 years to complete. ”
