All the scientists present, including Zhao Lan, will automatically get a voting place. Because of different opinions and lack of time to be verified by experiments, it has to be said that it is a very irresponsible thing for such a major event related to the entire earth and the entire human civilization to be decided by voting. But now there is no other way, and at this time, it is most reasonable to vote to make the final decision.

Zhao Lan turned on his personal electronic device and brought up the voting interface. On the voting screen, there are three big options, which are yes, no, and abstain. Zhao Lan originally thought that he would press the yes option without hesitation, but when it came time to finally make a vote, Zhao Lan hesitated.

Zhao Lan couldn't help but start asking herself a question in her heart: "I'm trying to persuade scientists to accept the calculation methods in this document, but ...... What about myself? Myself...... Do you really believe Li Yunfan? ”

Zhao Lan found that at this moment, he couldn't answer this question. Zhao Lan always thought that he believed in Li Yunfan, but now, when this matter progressed to the most direct heart, Zhao Lan hesitated. Zhao Lan found that she didn't seem to trust Li Yunfan very much. This is actually a very contradictory state, but at this moment, this contradictory state appears in Zhao Lan at the same time.

"So I've been running away, I've been running away." Zhao Lan thought silently in her heart, "Actually...... I told Li Yunfan that I should try to convince the scientists in the mainstream scientific community to accept his calculations, but it was because I didn't dare to take the responsibility. After I published this calculation process, if the scientists voted not to approve Li Yunfan's calculation process...... When things are finally irretrievable, and the Earth finally falls into the empty universe, I can shirk my responsibility - because all the scientists here voted on it, and it was the scientists who voted down the proposal, and I am not the only one to blame. ”

"I remember that Li Yunfan also has an identity as a psychologist, so for my mental activities...... Presumably Li Yunfan is very clear. Li Yunfan noticed all this, but he didn't say anything. Want...... Li Yunfan must be very disappointed in me. ”

"But it's such a big responsibility. How can I afford it. Zhao Lan thought in his heart with some despair, "When Zhao Huasheng's speculation had not yet been finally verified, how did he make that decision and take all the responsibilities on his own?" and Li Yunfan. Li Yunfan: How sure are you that you're right? What if you're wrong? Can you take on this responsibility? ”

Zhao Lan's words seemed to appear in Zhao Lan's mind again: "Okay, you can go and give it a try." ”

In the past few years, the two have always talked through audio and files, although the two are already very familiar, but Zhao Lan still doesn't know what Li Yunfan is like. But now. Zhao Lan had a faint smile in his mind, a calm expression, but there was a powerful force in his smile. This man is not strong, but no matter who sees him, it feels like he has found a leaning back.

This person is trustworthy and can be relied upon.

Zhao Lan tried hard to outline Li Yunfan's face, but he never thought about it. Because there was no reference or basis for Zhao Lan to outline Li Yunfan's appearance in his mind. But after a while, Zhao Lan's heart suddenly moved. Zhao Lan suddenly felt that Zhao Huasheng and Li Yunfan seemed to have a lot in common. As a result, the face of Zhao Huasheng's huge statue in Watson Square in the capital city of the earth inevitably overlapped with Li Yunfan's face, and no matter how hard Zhao Lan tried, he couldn't separate the two people. Later. Zhao Lan couldn't even figure out if he was affected or if he had sketched this appearance like this in the first place.

"Things have gone wrong and pushed me to this position, and although I am not outstanding, I have neither superior wisdom nor outstanding decision-making ability, but I have to make a decision at this moment. I have no way back. Zhao Lan thought so, then resolutely pressed the agree button, and then closed his eyes.

Whispers were constantly ringing in the large conference room, and many people were exchanging words from ear to ear. Zhao Lan didn't talk to anyone, and she didn't observe anyone. Zhao Lan was just waiting for the final result to be revealed.

The voting lasted for more than ten minutes. The moderator reads the countdown in a deep voice, and until the countdown reaches zero. Zhao Lancai suddenly opened his eyes, and then immediately looked at the big screen.

Voting results...... One thousand nine hundred and seventy-five votes against, fifty-seven in favour, with three abstentions.

Zhao Lan's heart tightened. But then I relaxed. Zhao Lan muttered to herself, "Why should I expect the results of the vote? This result...... Wasn't it expected a long time ago? ”

Once again, the presiding officer's deep voice echoed through the large conference room: "The results of the vote have been in, and the Executive Committee has decided to continue with the original space blocking plan. There is still one year and two months left before the calculated detonation time, when we will use the explosion of a super-high-yield hydrogen bomb to cut the connection between Lobachevsky's space and Earth's space. ”

There was no applause in the room, as the vast majority of people had expected this outcome.

The Führer stood up and announced with solemnity: "Adjournment! ”

Zhao Lan knows. Things have become irretrievable in this moment. In any case, the possibility of manipulating the black hole through the power of human governments has been completely eliminated. Then there are also two choices left in front of Zhao Lan.

First, he chose to continue to believe in Li Yunfan, and to facilitate Li Yunfan's plan as the commander-in-chief of his space interdiction plan, and even personally participated in this operation when necessary.

Second, scientists who choose to believe in the mainstream scientific community of human civilization. Anyway, now that Li Yunfan's plan has been voted on, even if it turns out to be wrong in the future, then Zhao Lan at least has no responsibility.

Even if the earth falls into the empty universe, the resources on the earth can support human civilization for hundreds of years. And hundreds of years are enough for Zhao Lan to spend his life. This means that if Zhao Lan refuses to believe Li Yunfan, then no matter what the final outcome is, Zhao Lan can spend his life peacefully. And if Zhao Lan believed Li Yunfan's words...... Zhao Lan may be pointed out by Qianfu and be burdened with the responsibility of destroying the earth and destroying human civilization. That would be a sin that Zhao Lan would never be able to pay off in his life.

Zhao Lan left the conference room, left the building of the scientific research department, and came to Watson Square again. Watson Square is still full of people, and various neon lights reflect the place into a colorful world. The sky was still clear, and the black canopy was dotted with stars one after another, and it looked unusually beautiful.

Laughter, slapsticks, shouts...... All kinds of voices continued to be transmitted to Zhao Lan's mind, but Zhao Lan's mood became more and more quiet. Zhao Lan knew that everyone here didn't know what they were going to face, and because of this, they didn't care about what would happen tomorrow, and they could enjoy the present to the fullest.

And Zhao Lan can't, because Zhao Lan knows a lot.

Zhao Lan continued to stroll until he reached the center of the square, in front of Zhao Huasheng's statue. Zhao Huasheng's statue was always full of flowers before, and this moment is no exception. Zhao Lan bought another bouquet of flowers, then bent down and placed them on the ground respectfully.

Zhao Huasheng still maintained the same posture as he had long ago, and he still looked into the distance with calm and powerful eyes. Zhao Lan stood on the ground and looked at Zhao Huasheng's face in a daze, and looked at it for a long, long time.

I don't know if it's because of an illusion or what, Zhao Huasheng's gaze is obviously facing the distance, but Zhao Lan always feels that Zhao Huasheng is looking at himself, looking at his direct descendant. There was warmth and encouragement in his eyes, as well as kindness.

"If you have a spirit in heaven, if you are going through all this...... What choices will you make? Zhao Lan muttered to himself, standing under Zhao Huasheng's statue for a long time and reluctant to leave.

But Zhao Huasheng did not show up to point out anything to his direct descendant. After a long time, Zhao Lan sighed, and finally recognized this cruel truth: everything must be decided by himself, even his ancestor Zhao Huasheng can't help him a bit.

On the big screen next to the statue is one of the most classic film and television works depicting the solar crisis, and it is also the most award-winning and widely known film. Just when Zhao Lan set his eyes on that screen, the image of Zhao Huasheng, which was synthesized using virtual technology and had a 100% degree of restoration, happened to turn his head at this time. With a smile on his face, he said to Zhao Lan and all the audience present in soft but powerful words: "I have identified the ...... Then do it, hesitate, and suffer from gains and losses will only bring regret and pain. ”

This is just an ordinary clip in this movie, and Zhao Lan doesn't know how many times he has watched it in the past. But this time was different. Zhao Lan only felt as if something had been hit in his heart, and then the originally unpredictable mind in his heart quickly became hard and indestructible.

Zhao Lan took out the communication instrument, looked at the big screen with his eyes, with a smile on his face, and said to Li Yunfan in a flat but firm tone: "Li Yunfan...... I've decided, and I'm totally and completely convinced of you. (To be continued.) )
