Chapter 153: Madness
According to statistics, in 2050, 450 million of China's 1.29 billion people will be over 60 years old, including 25 million people over 80 years old and 40 million people who have lost their ability to live. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among these old people, a considerable number of them are lonely old people who have no children and no daughters, and they know that it is not meaningful to evacuate with the ship, so they refuse to evacuate with the ship; Of course, there are also some elderly people, although it is difficult to leave their homeland, but under the strong demand of their children, they still choose to evacuate.
In addition, there is also a certain percentage of young people who are not optimistic about the interstellar voyage of the Earth fleet in the universe for a long time, so they also choose to stay.
There are also some mental illnesses or incurable terminal diseases, including 5 million patients with severe mental illness, 600,000 terminally ill patients, these terminally ill patients are not what we now call terminal diseases, in fact, with the current scientific and technological level of the earth fleet, general cancer can already be cured by injecting special drugs, and the terminally ill patients here mainly refer to some patients with special symptoms.
Some of these patients were not suitable for evacuation from the ship, and their families chose to stay.
In this way, although China has such and such demographic problems, in the end it still managed to gather enough 1 billion people in the original plan.
On the contrary, it was the side of the United States that had a big accident.
They do not follow the crowd like the Chinese, are willing to believe and obey the government's arrangements, and do not have particularly strong clan ties, coupled with a group of former parliamentarians like Manda Evan advocating behind their backs that there may be risks in long-distance voyages, it is better to stay on the earth station and safety, etc., and finally as many as 30 million people on the evacuation list retreated.
The twisted melon is not sweet, and the Civil Administration Council finally respected the decision of these people.
Considering that the United States currently has a total population of 430 million, only 310 million were evacuated in the end, leaving 120 million people behind!
As for Russia, Britain, France, and Germany, on the one hand, there are some people who are encouraged by their friends to stay, and on the other hand, the number of people who have evacuated to the Earth station themselves does not meet the predetermined standard, so the quota is not full.
In the end, after the coordination of the Civil Administration Committee, China selected tens of millions from the candidate list to fill in, but it was still 20 million short of the original 1.6 billion!
This result made Zhou Chen speechless, counting the scientists and their families who were evacuated in advance from the Earth Fleet, the total number was close to 100 million, and the total was less than 1.7 billion.
In other words, excluding the 100 million people evacuated by Zhou Chen from all over the world, almost 400 million people chose to stay out of the total population of 2 billion in the six countries.
In total, the entire planet will have to evacuate 2.3 billion people, and there is still 600 million to replenish.
This is a very embarrassing situation, but for the six countries, excluding those who are really unwilling to evacuate, there can be 1.6 billion people, and a follower rate of nearly 80%, which is already considered to have passed the passing line.
Although it deviated from the plan by 20 million, fortunately there was a shortage of 20 million people, not 20 million more, and if there were more people willing to evacuate than planned, it seemed that that would be the real tricky thing to do.
Now, it's a fly in the ointment.
However, there are still 600 million ship-borne posts to be replenished, which is a very troublesome matter.
If these 600 million are distributed to other countries on the earth, there is no doubt that these are not enough to even plug the gaps, and if the quota is really evenly distributed to all countries, the final situation will definitely be that the powerful and rich occupy most of the quota, the bad money drives out the good money, and the hundreds of millions of people who have been withdrawn are either powerful or local tyrants, which is not in line with Zhou Chen's thoughts.
The top priority is to develop a practical evacuation standard, which can be found in the data of Xiya's global monitoring, which has accumulated a lot of blacklists over the past few decades, and Zhou Chen can only refer to them now through the blacklist to reject who is not allowed to get on the ship.
In this way, it is very necessary to establish an evacuation point, and according to the results of the final discussion, Zhou Chen decided that the Civil Administration Committee would take the lead, and the Earth Fleet would personally go out to select eligible people to arrive at the Earth station through the evacuation point.
One can imagine how much chaos will occur during this period, and it can be said that with the release of the evacuation plan, the entire planet will enter a state of chaos. This is why Zhou Chen chose to evacuate the people of the six countries first, and then consider the other 600 million people.
He has to think about the problem from the perspective of the entire evacuation, and only by first protecting the basic plate of the six countries can he consider other countries. Otherwise, if the whole situation is in chaos, it will be a huge variable for the evacuation.
On July 25, 2050, the left-behind branches of China, the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany held a plenary meeting of the United Nations in New York.
This is the first time in five months since the surging storm that the United Nations has convened a plenary meeting, and at this moment a total of 189 countries or regions have participated in the plenary meeting of the United Nations, including as many as 70 countries, and the internal political situation is in turmoil.
The remaining more than 100 countries or regions, although they have barely managed to control the situation in their own countries, are also in the process of repairing power facilities and communication facilities.
There are more than 30 countries in this country, which are completely incapable of self-repair.
They are still basically still in the stage of co-governance between the state and the tribes, and have not stepped into the era of industrialization.
At this session of the UN General Assembly, six major powers, including China, the United States, and Russia, officially announced the news of aliens, and together with the announcement of a draft decision of the Earth Fleet on the evacuation of 600 million people with ships and the evacuation of 700 million people to the Earth station.
Originally, the Earth Station could accommodate about 1.1 billion people in total, but considering that nearly 400 million of the six major countries had chosen to stay, they had to evacuate another 700 million people to the Earth Station.
In the evacuation plan, the evacuation of 600 million people with the ship needs to be completed within four months, that is, before New Year's Day in 2051, the Earth fleet will officially leave the solar system.
The 700 million people who were evacuated to the garrison could be carried out in steps over a period of 10 years.
As soon as the news was announced, the entire conference hall of the UN General Assembly was in chaos, and the heads of delegations of various countries to the UN General Assembly tried to contact their own countries, but because the impact of the pulse storm had not completely passed, the process of contact lasted for a whole afternoon.
At this time, some countries are in the middle of the night, and their rulers are still lying on soft beds dreaming, but the moment the news comes back, it is like bad news, and their dreams come to an abrupt end, and they fall from heaven to hell in an instant.
As soon as the news came back to China, the high-level leaders of various countries felt an unprecedented fear, and they immediately summoned relevant personnel to discuss the matter.
In fact, the international order is, in a sense, a game played by a few powerful countries, who set the rules of the game for their own benefit, and then let the small countries join in and play with them. And if a small country wants to protect its own interests, all it can do is to follow or depend on the big country, which is a dynamic balance, a bit like watching the food and eating, and in this way, the international order is formed.
In this game, the strong country is like the load-bearing column in the building, which is an indispensable existence, if the load-bearing column is missing, then the house is very likely to collapse if it is slightly affected by external force.
Now when they hear that the six strongest countries are about to evacuate, as a small country and a weak country, their first reaction is panic!
They don't know how to face aliens in the future, and they don't know what the fate of their country will be in the future.
In addition to the panic, the first thing they did after many years of experience in power and some unexplainable selfishness prompted them to do their best to hide this news from the people.
The plan announced by the six countries at the United Nations General Assembly has clearly informed that the Earth Fleet will set up 36 evacuation points near the borders of the six countries, and will also set up 63 evacuation points in Europe, Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, North America, South America, Africa and other places. At that time, a total of 1.78 million troops will be mobilized to the evacuation point to be stationed, and an average of 18,000 full-strength combat divisions will be deployed at each evacuation point.
According to the requirements, capable countries can determine their own evacuation lists according to the quota allocated by the Earth Fleet, and after passing the screening of the Earth Fleet, those who meet the requirements will go to the evacuation points one by one.
However, for some countries that have lost their ability to govern, their citizens can also go to the evacuation point on their own, and in principle, the Earth Fleet will evacuate eligible personnel according to the first-come, first-served evacuation standard.
This is already a rather crude evacuation method, but there is no way, and at this time, it is impossible to screen the evacuees in detail. In order to prevent self-evacuees from seriously occupying the quotas allocated to various countries, the selection of evacuation points is basically in some barren areas.
However, it turned out that Zhou Chen still overestimated the ability of these governments to control the country.
On August 1, 2050, the news that aliens will arrive on Earth spread, and the news that has been hidden for many years finally spreads widely. At this time, governments can no longer limit the spread of various rumors, and the whole world is in a state of chaos.
It is good that there have been crowds of people burning in the streets of various cities, and there have been fierce clashes between the police and the people who maintain law and order, but in some places where law and order are poor, because of the total collapse of the state system, even the police have lost hope for the future and joined the troublemakers.
Since ancient times, there have been many evils in troubled times, and some people have discovered their own value, and they have taken the opportunity to develop their own religion. For a time, various apocalyptic religions emerged all over the world, and almost every one of them proclaimed that he was the only true God, and that if he believed, he could avoid this catastrophe. At this time, the crisis of the end times really enveloped everyone, and people's empty hearts were in urgent need of sustenance, and for a time these religions really had the soil to take root and sprout.
Each religion proclaims that it is the true God, and there is a natural conflict between these religions of strong exclusivity, and if there are more than two such religions in a city at the same time, then you can see in the streets and alleys that these religions that have only been established for a few days can be seen in the streets and alleys, and there is a constant scuffle over territory and doctrine.
And there are some more extreme religions, which, instead of propagating their religion can save people from danger, nakedly declares to their congregations that the end of mankind has come!
Now the only choice for human beings is to die independently, and only death is the real liberation! Aliens are messengers sent from heaven, angels of death who send humans to hell. There is no hope for mankind, death is the final destination, and even in order to propagate their teachings, these extreme religions have organized some large-scale suicides, which are quite terrifying.
Politicians, rich people, and commoners, at this moment they have shed their gorgeous coats, and at this moment their identities and positions are all the same, and no one will pity those who have nothing to do with them.
As the news spread, a large number of people who had been informed of the news rushed to the nearby evacuation point like refugees, although they may not have registered with their own government, but considering that the government has completely lost its office capacity at the moment, they have to go to the evacuation point to have any hope of survival.
Also because of the establishment of the evacuation point, the image of the six major powers in the hearts of the people has improved slightly.
And there are others, who, unlike the hopeless, can be said to have a very different attitude towards the arrival of aliens than the vast majority of people.
It was a group of fanatics who were extremely keen to communicate with aliens, and a large group of people gathered, sang and danced, and fell into a carnival, and they were cheering for the arrival of aliens.
