Chapter 208: Helium Flash Is a Hoax?
"The long era of wandering began."
Under the dark red shadow of Jupiter, a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes looked at the living life in the conservation room deep in the stratum and let out a sigh because his son was born today.
"When will it end?"
His wife looked at her child with loving pity, but she muttered in the same heavy tone.
Liu Peiqiang fell silent, not knowing whether his wife was referring to the journey or to this life of suffering and disaster.
As an Air Force major, Liu Peiqiang didn't care about the future before, but now he feels that there is no end to either.
Even if Earth sailed out of the helium flash power circle and they were able to escape, so what?
He is only the lowest level of that long ladder, and when future generations climb to the top of the ladder and see the light of new life, the bones of this generation have long since turned into cosmic dust.
With a child, he didn't dare to imagine the hardships and hardships in the future, let alone take his lover and children through this muddy road with no end in sight.
After leaving Jupiter, more than 10,000 Earth engines on the Asian continent are running at full power again, this time running non-stop for 500 years, accelerating the Earth until they reach their destination.
Relieved from more than four centuries of fear of the sun's death, the United International held celebratory rallies in various underground cities to encourage the people.
After the celebratory rally in the dungeon, Liu Peiqiang put on a sealed suit and came to the surface alone.
The mountains familiar with my childhood have been leveled by super excavators, and the ground is only bare rocks and hard frozen soil, which is dotted with white patches, which are salt stains left by the tides.
The big city in front of him, where his father and grandfather had spent their lives, and the large city with a population of 10 million people was now in ruins, and the exposed wreckage of the steel bars of the high-rise buildings dragged a long shadow in the blue light of the light pillar of the earth's engine, like the fossil of a prehistoric beast.
Flood after flood and asteroid impact have destroyed everything on the ground, cities and plants on every continent have been wiped out, and the surface of the earth has become a desert like Mars.
Only the stars in the distant space flickered with a little light, making the universe seem less dark.
However, no matter how miserable the world is, life must go on, and as a soldier of the Xia Kingdom, he has long been more than just living for himself, countless people have sacrificed their lives in exchange for the survival of the remaining people, so he can't live up to expectations.
Just as he was about to return to spend this rare time with his family, a soldier hurried out, and when he saw him, he looked slightly panicked.
"Major Liu, urgent mission!"
Immediately afterwards, Liu Peiqiang heard everything from the news report on the radio: "Attention to all the citizens of the underground city, attention to all the citizens of the underground city, at present, a small number of rebels have launched an attack near the engine in our district, and the Taihang command center calls on the people to stay calm, and the matter will be resolved soon."
"Are we going to wipe out the rebels?"
"Well, if they continue to develop, it will definitely cause some engine damage like last time!"
"I see......"
As Liu Peiqiang walked, he exchanged information with the soldiers who reported the news.
"Rebels" is the crime that the United International has given to the gang of violent elements, who themselves call themselves rebels who expose the lies of the great powers and save humanity.
Liu Peiqiang doesn't know when they first appeared, perhaps from the day when all mankind learned that the sun was about to destroy the earth.
Just as in the pre-solar era some people believed that the moon landing was a lie and that medicine had no effect, naturally some people would not believe that the sun would explode a helium flash and destroy the earth in a few hundred years.
He didn't understand this, and he wasn't allowed to do it now, because in front of planetary engines, any understanding seemed insignificant.
The army was soon mobilized, and Liu Peiqiang began to devote himself to the liquidation of the rebels before he could inform his family.
Above the towering engine, the blue-and-white pillars of light tilted slightly, spitting out scorching plasma, so much so that the air distorted.
Outside the row of buildings below, layers of troops surrounded the place. I saw a soldier in a protective suit shouting inside at the moment.
"The people inside, you have been surrounded, please lay down your arms and surrender immediately!"
"Again, you have been surrounded, please lay down your arms and surrender immediately!"
"Don't try to lie to us, you lackeys of the United International."
Hoarse and frenzied shouts rang out from inside the building.
"The sun doesn't flash helium, it's a dirty and shoddy lie of the century!"
"Citizens! The earth has been betrayed! Humanity has been betrayed!! Civilization was betrayed!! We are all victims of a super scam! ”
"You should join us and join us in overthrowing the United International and letting the truth come to light!"
Listening to the impassioned speeches of the rebels inside, the officer standing in the front row shook his head and scolded indignantly.
"What a bunch of fools, who don't forget to be demagogues when they die, have they inherited the intelligence of animals?"
"Demolition team prepares, carry out a strong attack!"
With a command, the building in front of it exploded, and then the assault team quickly advanced, and after the rapid gunfire, the world fell silent again.
The officer walked into the building with a depressed pace, and the bloodied corpses strewn down the corridor did not change his eyes in the slightest, until he saw the young man leaning against the wall, spitting blood out of his mouth as he was dying, and his stiff face changed slightly.
"How are you?"
"Dad, you're here, ahem......, I, I just want to see the sun again......"
As soon as the words fell, the young man's head tilted, and there was no more life.
"Stupid, stupid, really stupid......"
The officer just kept saying these words, but his body became slightly rickety.
He took a deep look at the young man's corpse, and then walked out with heavier steps than before.
"Pack up the body, we have other tasks."
"Yes......" The adjutant nodded and sighed softly.
What the officers didn't know was that this was not the end, just the beginning.
Humanity, freed from the fear of death for more than four centuries, did not have the expected revelry, but what happened next was beyond everyone's imagination.
In the months that followed, a terrible claim spread like wildfire around the world: the sun doesn't have a helium flash, everything is a hoax!
More and more people are spontaneously observing the sun with larger, more sophisticated instruments.
Later, a civil society sent a group of probes to the sun, and they passed through the heliosphere three months later, and the data sent back by the probes finally confirmed that fact.
Good-looking romance
Compared to four centuries ago, the sun has not changed at all.
Within a few months, public opinion on television had begun to openly discuss the topic of "whether the destruction of the sun was a hoax or not". And the number of polls supporting the hoax is rising.
As time went on, the news began to report that "according to polls, the current proportion of people who believe that the destruction of the sun is a hoax has reached 30%. ”
The dungeons of the continents have become volcanoes of turmoil, and the situation is on the verge of eruption.
Now no one knows what the future holds!
