After Luo was gone, the meeting was reconvened again.

Bi Jianping scattered a circle of cigarettes, took out another one, and lit it for himself, and suddenly the entire conference room was filled with smoke and smell.

For a while, no one spoke, and the news they just got from Luo Yuan was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and everyone's minds were still in a trance, and they couldn't come to their senses.

The thought that humanity is on the verge of extinction and that the earth is shattered makes everyone feel a trace of despair.

"The situation is much more dire than we had guessed, we have to be prepared for a long war of resistance, and now how much material reserves do we have, I mean water and food." After a while, Bi Jianping broke the silence and said.

These two are the top priorities of all supplies, and as long as the food and water problems are solved, I hope that no matter how chaotic the city is, it will not be anywhere.

"If the power is not restored for a long time, it will last for about three months." A deputy mayor in charge of agriculture said loudly: "Although the agricultural area can still produce normally, there has been no light, even mutated plants cannot grow normally, and the source of water resources in Hope City is to pump groundwater, which also needs electricity. ”

"It seems that the top priority is to restore the power first!" Bi Jianping said with a heavy face.

"But all of our power plants were thermal power plants, built on the ground, and now they have been destroyed, and even the wreckage may not be found. There are several groups of steam turbines in the warehouse for power generation, but how to find fuel for power generation? We're all trapped underground right now, and we can't get out unless we tear down the houses in Hope City! A mayor in charge of industry took a deep breath of his cigarette and said.

"It's a stopgap measure!" Bi Jianping said: "But even if all the houses in Hope City are burned as fuel, how long they will last, can only depend on when the storm will stop!" ”

At this time, the ground shook violently, and there was a muffled noise overhead, and everyone's faces changed, and it was obvious that something had collapsed, and the earthquake lasted for more than ten seconds before the earthquake subsided.

Since yesterday, there have been more than a dozen earthquakes in a row, and the frequency has become a little numb, and after a while, the meeting continued.

"I think there is at least a certain reserve of food and water, and it can be slowed down for the time being, but the problem of keeping warm cannot be delayed for a day, and now the temperature has begun to drop rapidly, and it is estimated that there will be a cold winter in a day or two. In the past, because the temperature was suitable throughout the year, everyone generally lacked warm clothes, and I was afraid that there would be a large-scale freezing to death at that time. "The Minister of Propaganda raised the impending crisis.

Everyone looked haggard, but there was no solution at all, and there were naturally a lot of clothes in stock, but most of them were combat suits made of fiber fabric, and even the quilts were light and thin quilts, which could not withstand the next cold winter at all.

"I also mention that since last night, the number of suicides has exceeded 20,000, and now the people are quite pessimistic, coupled with the problem of freezing to death mentioned by Comrade Zhou Wenbo, I think we should be more vigilant." Li Feng, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, rubbed his eyebrows, and said with some haggardness: "And the number of our police officers is already seriously insufficient, and we must urgently expand another batch." ”

Everyone was silent, and a feeling of powerlessness arose.

Today's Hope City has completely become an island, the external environment is deteriorating, and the internal people are panicking, and the situation has been difficult, like a tight tightrope, and now it can barely maintain order, which is already the result of the inertia of order and concealing the truth.

Once the power system cannot be restored, the darkness continues to shroud the dungeon, the winter is coming, under the continuous accumulation of depression and despair, the entire Hope City will collapse and the law and order will deteriorate sharply.

And that's just for the general public......

Hope City has a lot of evolutionaries, and there is also a sword department, this department is completely independent of the city government, and the two do not have any subordinate relationship, if the redevelopment area is still there in the past, it can still communicate and coordinate, but now no one knows whether the other party will have other thoughts.

What's even more troublesome is that the sword department of Hope City is still the descendant of that person, and with the strength of the other party to kill the aliens, all the forces of Hope City are not enough.

Force is the foundation of all power, and without force, existing rights will become castles in the air, crumbling.

"I think we should bring Minister Luo in, we can't exclude him, with his existence at least the evolutionary part will be stable." At this time, Ye Yonglai, the head of the organization, finally broke the topic that everyone had been vaguely avoiding and could not avoid.

"I think it's okay, but when the time comes, what kind of position will be arranged, he is a lieutenant general, and in terms of rank, he is higher than all of us. And in terms of merit to mankind, no one can compare to Minister Luo, he saved mankind, in a sense, he also saved everyone in our seat! Before the words fell, Bi Jianping spoke.

Some people couldn't help but change their faces slightly, and vaguely felt that a storm was faintly brewing, and today's decision was destined to go down in history.

……

Luo Yuan walked on the way back, he already felt that the temperature was a little cold, now it is April, usually at this time, the temperature in the morning is generally around thirty-five, but at this time, it is not even ten degrees.

He quickened his pace and walked towards his home, where the villa was also dark, except for a few simple oil lamps made by unknown people, which emitted a faint glow in the living room.

But just these few dim oil lamps made Luo Yuan's heart, which had been cold and silent since last night, feel a trace of warmth again.

After several women saw Luo Yuan, their eyes couldn't help but turn red, since last night, there was a drastic change in the reconstruction area, and after finding out that Luo Yuan was missing, they began to worry, for fear that Luo Yuan had already encountered an accident, but as his woman, he had to bear this kind of fear all the time, and he was used to it.

"Okay, don't cry, everything is fine."

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll cook for you!" Huang Jiahui wiped a handful of tears and said.

Luo Yuan nodded: "I'm not too hungry, just make some." ”

He now has two energy systems in his body, one is for mitochondrial cold fusion and the other is for residual food, the former has basically replaced the latter, and for him, it doesn't matter if he eats or not, but he still can't do without water.

In the afternoon, some officials came to visit one after another, and unlike in the past, when they came, these people would also bring some gifts with them, but this time they all came empty-handed, and everyone was respectful and cautious.

This made Luo Yuan confused, but also faintly captured something, the whole situation in Hope City seemed to be surging, and the clouds were treacherous.

And in the evening, Wang Shishi, who was going out to see the excitement, hurriedly ran in.

"Brother Luo, did you really destroy the aliens and save the reconstruction area?" Before she could breathe, she blinked her eyes and asked in surprise, as if she had met Luo Yuan for the first time.

"How do you know?" Luo Yuan said in surprise, he didn't tell his family about aliens at all.

"The government personnel outside are propagandizing, is there really aliens, and you killed them." Master Wang was surprised.

His villa was located in a remote area, and there were few people living nearby, and it was quiet and quiet at the same time, but it was also closed to information, and he listened a little, and suddenly all kinds of subtle sounds entered his ears, and sure enough, he heard someone promoting the deeds several kilometers away.

Huang Jiahui and the others next to him suddenly looked shocked when they heard Master Wang's words, and as for the newcomer Ye Qiuyu, she covered her mouth in surprise.

Luo Yuan had no choice but to briefly talk about the aliens from beginning to end again, and then ignored the incredulous looks of several women, and secretly pondered in his heart.

This time, the city government pushed him to the position of the hero of mankind, the savior.

Now all the people in Hope City are panicked and desperate for the future, and the government's propaganda against him has undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into the hearts of the people who are already desperate.

It's just that this kind of momentum, for the Hope City Government, is completely to quench thirst, and at the same time as creating gods, it also means that the power has been shaken, which is also the reason why Luo Yuan has made great achievements when the reconstruction area is still there, no matter how much merit Luo Yuan has made, except for the reward behind it, there is never a trace of overt publicity.

It also led to the fact that except for some upper echelons who knew a little about Luo Yuan, ordinary people didn't know anything about him.

It is clear that this time the city government is no longer able to maintain the situation and is ready to cede power.

In fact, even if they held power to the death, Luo Yuan would force them to hand it over.

He is not a man with a lot of power, and he has little interest in ruling the reconstruction.

It's just that now the human situation seems to have survived, but in fact, the crisis has not really ended at all, ignoring the next long nuclear winter, the Bostian spacecraft is likely to come again, this time he was lucky to kill all the aliens, but there is no guarantee that he will be so lucky next time.

What's more, once it comes again, the power of this group of aliens will definitely be even more terrifying.

If he wanted to continue the human race, Luo Yuan thought about it, and the only way to escape to the universe was to take the spaceship of the Boxing people.

But he has the supreme authority of the spaceship, unless he dies, it can't be transferred at all, and any decision-making at that time can't be separated from him, rather than being constrained everywhere and intriguing, it is better to be the one.

In fact, the city government is more urgent than expected, and it also shows that the situation in Hope City is more serious.

The next day, just after six o'clock in the evening, the top officials of the city government came to his villa en masse for a closed-door meeting.

What was said at the meeting, except for a few participants, no one could know, but after coming out, everyone was drenched in cold sweat, pale, and with a suppressed excitement on their faces.

Originally, Luo Yuan thought that the situation could be delayed for at least ten days and half a month, but he didn't expect the situation to be so urgent, almost to the point where he couldn't delay for a moment.

At this time, the city government is completely like sitting on a powder keg, which will completely explode at any moment, no wonder no one is trying to take over this hot potato.

That night, Luo Yuan entered the city government and sat in the mayor's office.

Luo Yuan's first order was to summon all the surviving power engineers in Hope City, researchers from various laboratories, and a large number of workers overnight, and then start the curvature flight directly in the office and leave Hope City.

An hour later, he returned from space with an additional five-meter-diameter metal ball in his hand.

This is a deep nuclear fusion furnace dismantled from the glass-star-air-ground integrated aircraft he first killed, and with the ancillary equipment, it was packaged and transported back by Luo Yuan, which can be regarded as waste.

This Glass Man fusion furnace is extremely high-tech and very safe, and will automatically jump to a dormant state when the energy output stops.

As soon as it was put on the ground of the hall of the city hall, which had been urgently cleared, a large number of researchers and engineers who had been summoned overnight surrounded them with surprise and excitement on their faces.

Every smooth and intricate surface on it, every part of a special material, and even every inscription on an alien metal drew amazement from everyone.

"Don't look at it strangely, you will have time to see it in the future, let's start experimenting one by one now, but pay attention to safety." Luo Yuan said.

The Boxing civilization and human beings are two completely different civilizations, and no one here has ever been exposed to nuclear fusion, let alone analyzed the far superior technological content of this fusion furnace that directly uses thermoelectric conversion.

But this does not need to be understood at all, as a power output device, its basic principles are all connected, are through the positive and negative electrode output current, not to mention that the more developed the technology, the simpler the operation.

Its operation buttons are pitiful, only three, and after a little fumbling for a while, I already understand the specific meaning of the words on several buttons.

Hibernation, shutdown, and startup.

When the furnace is turned off, it stops working completely, and the fuel chamber is unlocked, which can be easily pulled apart by pulling the surface down.

After analysis by scientific researchers, the fuel in it is not other substances, not ordinary hydrogen, nor helium 3 used in human nuclear fusion, but a kind of ultra-pure water, of course, this is a deep fusion furnace, even ordinary pure water does not matter.

Looking at the scene of these engineers carefully groping for the function of the button, although this fusion furnace has its own safety measures and does not pose any danger, Luo Yuan feels that it is necessary for him to go to the spaceship, and through the wisdom brain, print the Boxing script and Chinese reference materials into a book, and organize learning.

It is conceivable that in the future, there will be more and more equipment of Boxing people, and it will be a very troublesome and dangerous thing not to understand the language of Boxing people.

In the early hours of the morning, a large number of power engineers had begun to start small-scale experiments, and when a light came on in the hall, the hall, which was originally dim under the oil lamp, suddenly became brightly lit.

"Mayor, its maximum output power is amazing, the power is almost endless, fortunately, it can be automatically and intelligently adjusted according to the amount of use, otherwise we can't find a suitable transformer at all." The chief engineer of the power station, who was lucky to escape the disaster, said excitedly to Luo Yuan.

"When will it be connected to the grid?" Luo Yuan asked, it is already early in the morning, and the temperature has become colder and colder, completely reaching more than ten degrees below zero, if it continues to drag on, I am afraid that frostbite will soon appear and freeze to death.

"I hope that the lines in the city are still under intense maintenance, the electromagnetic pulse during the previous disaster, so that most of the circuit bulbs have been burned, we must first test and install it, and so on to ensure that it is correct, before it can be connected to the grid for power generation, it is estimated that it will be in the afternoon of the third day." The chief engineer couldn't help but be a little nervous in the face of Luo Yuan.

"It's been too long, the people can't wait so long." Luo Yuan shook his head and beckoned.

Bi Jianping, the deputy mayor who was commanding nearby, hurriedly trotted over, and now he was in awe and awe of Luo Yuan, hearing it was one thing, seeing it with his own eyes was another, in just one hour, an alien fusion furnace appeared here, completely proving what the other party said before, and there was no lie.

"It seems that we need to gather more workers, do a simple training, carry out various circuit maintenance, and take advantage of this time to start a part of the factory first, and focus on the production of heating equipment and warm clothes, I don't want to see the phenomenon of freezing to death."

Outside the destruction is only the heavily polluting metal smelting and chemical industry, and there are many more factories underground, and there is no technical difficulty in producing such heating equipment.

"I'll do it right away." Bi Jianping hurriedly said.

"Wait! One more thing. Luo Yuan stopped Bi Jianping again, and said solemnly: "Now is the time when people in Hope City are panicking, we can't let the people do nothing in the dark, thinking nonsense, it is easy to have accidents." You have to get them moving, and you can go back and discuss it with the others, even if it causes some waste, it doesn't matter. ”
