[The first year of the era of crisis, interrogation]

The trial chamber is ongoing, and this is a trial of a group.

In the center of the hall and in the center of the wall, hangs the emblem of the Earth Federation, which symbolizes the authority of the Federation. The coat of arms has a painting of the earth and a gun in the gold ring next to it. `

Sure enough, Peng Liyuan was not wrong, and the worst possibility really happened.

"Now the trial begins. Journalists and media are invited to leave the venue, as public records are not allowed here. ”

The following is a partial transcript of the trial:

[Zhao Shilling, consultant of the "Star" Group.

……

Interrogator: Hello. We hope that this investigation will be completed soon, and we hope that you will cooperate.

Interrogator: As a consultant, what is your attitude towards the Star Group's project?

Judged: Good.

Interrogator: Do you know what kind of harm that experiment caused?

Interrogator: It seems to be ...... I don't know.

Interrogator: You are suspected of destroying resources. Tell me about your motives.

Interrogated: Field experiments.

Interrogator: But why do you have to go to Antarctica? Isn't it possible to do so in your own factory? I have the right to suspect that you did it on purpose.

[Thomas Nicklin, Chief of the Starry Sky Manufacturing Section.]

……

Interrogator: It was an accident!! Accidentally!

Interrogator: You're in the manufacturing department, and it's your responsibility to make the materials, and you're almost 90% responsible for that old case from five years ago.

Interrogator (laughs): You have a good sense of humor.

Interrogator: What do you mean? I'm telling the truth.

Interrogator: Hehe, the biggest problem we've been working on is with you, the federal and HPC. You've already had prejudices, but there's no reason to do it. But now you have a reason. Why is humanity in crisis? There is a big reason in the human beings themselves. ]

The scenery outside is still the same, and the wind is rising. The branches shook slightly. The leaves on the trees swayed with them. Ten meters away, the fountain spewed continuously, splashing lightly, reflecting a ray of crystalline sunlight into the air.

In an apartment, a man knocks on the wall, and a holographic window comes out of the wall, like a projection of the Common Era. But the picture quality is much clearer than the projection, and it is suspended. A news broadcast was broadcast in the window. The announcer is a beautiful young lady, and it seems that all ladies are beautiful in this day and age.

As a result of the increase in contaminants, the area of radioactive contamination has expanded. Pollution indicators have exceeded the threshold. According to calculations and statistics, the global large-scale acid rain period will start in the 1~3 years of the crisis, and most countries will have acid rain in the next few years. In recent years, it may have been another period of disaster. In some remote areas, refugee camps have been built for temporary refugees after the acid rain disaster, in case of emergency. Since about 5 years before the crisis, the construction of a bunker (dungeon) has begun. An underground fortification to hide from pollution in the future, which is now being perfected and expanded......

The man stared at the window and said, "What! The poisonous rain is coming again. A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen. What the fuck is this?! ”

A woman's voice appeared: "I may have to live in a bunker in the future." After a few years, the ground can't survive. I've heard that in some of the more risky places, bunkers are already running to live in. ”

"Li, I've heard of something because of some human garbage pollution, some fish, fish living in the water. It is born with iron flakes for environmental reasons. Also, a nearby fish pond, do you know how a fish dies? It fucking swam into the can, but it couldn't get out, and it suffocated. After the man finished speaking, he laughed at himself and said, "This is a good thing that our human beings have done." ”
