Chapter Eighty-Six: Crisis
The solar crisis is a major event related to the life and death of the entire human civilization, so this press conference is bound to receive extremely wide attention. It is precisely for this reason that the meeting was broadcast live.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the meeting was held on time. Tall, handsome, and charming Frank received warm applause as soon as he appeared. After taking a seat on the podium, Frank pressed his hands and the applause gradually stopped. Once again, a charming smile appeared on Frank's face, and his voice was heard through the microphone.
"Before I start this meeting, I'd like to ask you a question...... Frank said with a laugh. His eyes stared straight in the direction of the camera, as if his gaze had passed through the TV screen and reached Zhao Huasheng.
"The question is...... If our civilization encounters a crisis that is so great that it may even be extinct, as a member of the human race, if you happen to have the solution to this crisis, do you have the obligation to publicize it and save our civilization from fire and water? ”
"Of course there is an obligation, and every human being has this obligation."
"It's an obvious question, and even children know the answer to it."
After Frank asked the question, there was a lot of response in the room.
The presiding officer of the meeting frowned deeply when he heard Frank's words. He had clearly understood what Frank was saying, and it wasn't planned.
Zhao Huasheng's expression was still indifferent, and there was no change at all.
In the middle of the room, a staff member walked quickly to Frank on the podium, before the staff member came to Frank's side. Frank had already said the following sentence: "So, Zhao Huasheng, I want to ask you a question, why did you claim that you had mastered the solution to the solar crisis, but did not announce it. Rather, use it as a bargaining chip to blackmail human civilization? ”
The smile on Frank's face turned cold in this instant, there seemed to be a sharp blade shooting out of his eyes, and his tone became very indifferent: "Zhao Huasheng, I know that you must be able to hear my words at this moment, so let me ask you, is it true that you promised to say that all the sins committed by Director Li Qi will be borne by you?" At the beginning, he said that he would end the solar crisis with his own hands in exchange for the public's understanding of Richie. Did you say that? Later, why did you use the solution to the solar crisis as a bargaining chip to blackmail the human government, and propose something that human civilization is obviously unable to accomplish at this stage as a bargaining chip? ”
The staff member had already walked up to Frank, and before he could speak, Frank jerked to his feet and pushed the staff member away. shouted in an almost roaring voice: "Zhao Huasheng! What are you doing at a time when humanity is facing a catastrophe of annihilation, when everyone is struggling to find a solution to the crisis?! Perhaps, you have not found a solution to the crisis at all, and only for the sake of your own face, so you propose something that human civilization cannot accomplish at all, and want to shift the responsibility to human civilization? ”
"Because of your selfishness, because of your delays and misdirection. There may be millions of people in human civilization who should not have died, and you can take this responsibility? Without the comet impact plan, the desperate human government will bend before you. If you promise to build a permanent survival base on the moon with the power of all mankind, how many people will die in vain because of the time and resources wasted by this project? This mission could even drag the entire human civilization into the abyss of destruction! And, even if human civilization eventually builds a moon base, will you really be able to come up with a solution to the solar crisis?! No, you can't! Zhao Huasheng! You're simply a complete anti-humanist. You're a liar! I'm ashamed to live on the same planet as you! ”
At this moment, there was already some commotion in the room. No one expected Frank's rhetoric and practices, and no one would know. On such an important occasion that can almost be said to face the entire human race on earth, Frank would actually say this extremely high-level matter. The reporters at the meeting were amazed at the intensity of this event. The staff at the venue have urgently cut off the signal communication between the scene and the outside world, and temporarily interrupted the press conference. The last image on TV was of an agitated Frank being carried away by several strong guards.
This is the end of the live broadcast, and the words that Frank said have been spread all over the earth during this time.
Zhao Huasheng's brows furrowed deeply, as for what was going on in his mind, no one knew.
"It seems that you can't go to the moon." The voice of the plasma life form appeared in Zhao Huasheng's mind, "Frank already has a very high reputation, so the people will definitely believe his words. From this moment on, you will probably become the greatest sinner in the history of your human civilization, and the mere crime of ignoring the survival of civilization and blackmailing a civilized government is enough to nail you to the pillar of shame in the history of your human civilization. From now on, there will be no more people who trust you, and no more people who will support you. With this incident as a counter-evidence, the rumors that Li Wei led and released before will also be believed, and people will think that you created the solar crisis, that you killed Director Li Qi, that you have been in cahoots with the solar civilization, and that you have been trying to push human civilization into the abyss of destruction...... Zhao Huasheng, you're finished, completely finished, on this whole earth, no one can save you. ”
The words of the plasma beings were filled with a strange allure: "If I were you, I would choose to kill myself immediately." It is better to die cleanly than to endure the wrath of the entire civilization and suffer both mental and * torture. Zhao Huasheng, you are a smart person, so, what are you waiting for? ”
Zhao Huasheng's brows furrowed after frowning for a moment, as if he had figured out something: "No, Stellar Man, you are wrong. I won't die, not only won't I die, but I'll be deliberately protected by the government. ”
"Oh? Why? The plasma lifeform asked.
"Because...... Until now, human civilization has not been able to confirm whether the solar crisis is truly over. Zhao Huasheng said indifferently, "The sun has indeed returned to its normal temperature and luminosity, but ...... Who can guarantee that there will be no more stellar resurrections on the sun in the future? As long as there is no way to ensure this, I am valuable to the human government. Moreover, there are not no wise men in human government. On the contrary, there are many smart people in the government. These smart people are not misled by emotions and rumors, they know the value of the work I have done before, and they know that I have a good chance of a real solution to the solar crisis. So...... I'll be their last insurance. Therefore, the government will not let me be killed by the angry mob, and the government will inevitably send people to protect me. ”
"Perhaps." The plasma lifeform said, "But I still think it's better for you to kill yourself at this point. Even if the government will send someone to protect you, but don't forget that you have completely offended the human government before, and at this moment, the human government also has some bargaining chips in its hands and a reason to do something to you, so ...... This so-called protection should be house arrest. You can get everything you want, but you lose your freedom. You will never see the sky and the sun, and you will spend your life in a dimly lit cell. Compared to this ending, death ...... Wouldn't it be a better ending? ”
Zhao Huasheng snapped his fingers: "I will indeed be placed under house arrest, I have already thought of this." In this way, the human government can not only keep my hole card, but also deal with public opinion and the anger of the people. But...... Since I can get all the creature comforts I want while under house arrest, what's the difference between a cell and a moon base? ”
Zhao Huasheng said very seriously, "I have always cherished my life, as long as I can live, I will not die." So I'm definitely not going to kill myself. ”
The plasma lifeform Yu Yu said, "Since you cherish your life very much...... Well, you're not going to risk being killed by me to get your idea out there, are you? ”
"Yes." Zhao Huasheng nodded bluntly, "You can live, but a fool will die." ”
Plasma lifeforms are silent.
Zhao Huasheng sighed again: "Frank played a good card...... He knew that with his current reputation, even if he did what he did today, the human government would never do anything to him. On the premise of preserving himself, he buried my life with just one sentence...... Frank, why do you hate me so much? ”
The plasma life form continues to be silent. So Zhao Huasheng said: "Just wait here quietly." If I'm not mistaken, government agents will come and arrest me soon. ”
It seems that in order to verify Zhao Huasheng's prophecy, when Zhao Huasheng's words just fell, the door was vigorously kicked open by a person. Zhao Huasheng turned his head and saw a familiar person. The man had a tall figure, a resolute face, and cold, piercing eyes.
This person had been with Zhao Huasheng for more than a year, and the two were separated after Zhao Huasheng came here. He is Monjo.
"I didn't expect it to be you who came to arrest me. The government's actions look fast. Zhao Huasheng stood up and walked towards Meng Zhuo and said, "I'll go with you." (To be continued)
