Chapter 68: The Salvation of the Predecessors

Landau finished the deal with the old man, and happened to wait for the plane arranged by Andy, and took the military plane directly to New York.

Unsurprisingly, the explosion in the border town was officially interpreted by the United States and Mexico as a gas leak.

Although there were some revelations, they were all covered up by more exaggerated special effects videos, and the media also invariably unified the caliber.

After two days in prison in New York, Landau was led by Andy and taken all the way to the White House office in Washington.

There was no superfluous greeting session, and the whole room was filled with representatives of various forces in the United States.

Landau looked around and got straight to the point: "I would venture to ask how many of you here have received the news of the end of the world. ”

Landau could see that everyone present had a source of information, and they all knew more or less about their own news.

Landau moved a few steps slightly, finding a suitable position for everyone to watch him, and then stretched out his hand, showing his index finger and said, "First, you are about to observe the strengthening of solar radiation, which is likely to cause problems such as the heating of the earth's center. ”

"Second, some of you may be able to observe that the Sun is starting to become active and is about to undergo coronal mass ejections in the future."

Landau withdrew his raised hand and patted it lightly in front of him, "That's all there is to it, simple but desperate news. ”

The whole house fell into absolute silence, and at this moment, a sharp knock came at the door, "Mr. President, very urgent!" I need to report back to you now. ”

Vice President Karl Anhuser pushed the door and walked in directly, regardless of whether there was anyone or not, he walked quickly to Ao Guanhai with a booklet and said in a low voice: "You have to look at this!" ”

Ao Guanhai said helplessly: "Now is not the time, Carl. ”

"Now!" Karl Anjusser's emotions were clearly agitated and perverse, and he slapped the booklet in front of him.

Landau looked at Vice President Carl Anjuster and instantly recognized him as the big fat man in 2012.

Everyone present was silent until Ao Guanhai looked up after reading the brochure and said, "Everyone, we are in big trouble. ”

Landau saw Ao Guanhai with a serious face, and the serious expressions of the rest of the people, walked up to Vice President Karl and said gently, "Mr. Karl, I think the president knows your news now." It's private time now. ”

Carl, who had an unkind face, was invited out of the room by Landau, who closed the door, turned around and stroked his palms and laughed: "Let me see, why are the faces of those here so ugly." ”

"What are you doing with a miserable face, have you forgotten why I came here?" Landau stretched out his hand to himself.

Andy moved to Landau's side, pulled Landau down, and whispered: "Now is not the time for you to be proud, hurry up and tell me your information, it's best to have a solution." ”

Tilting his head to look at Andy, who was in a hurry, Landau pouted, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay." ”

"Now is the time to solve the mystery," Landau clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "the Isu perished because of the Tyba catastrophe, and the sun has been silent for more than 70,000 years. ”

"The good news is that the Isu self-help technology of the day is still useful today, and we are able to withstand the coronal mass ejection."

Landau looked at some people's tense faces and suddenly relaxed, and said with a wicked smile: "The bad news is that we still have solar radiation to deal with. ”

Among the people sitting in the room, Lan Dao saw that everyone except Okukanhai breathed a sigh of relief.

Landau didn't continue to explain, and bent down to make a gesture of please in the direction of Okukankai.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that the crisis caused by solar radiation is not something we can resist." Ao Guanhai looked at everyone looking at him with a puzzled expression, and explained in a deep voice: "The specific situation, we have to mobilize professionals to investigate." ”

Ao Guanhai raised the booklet in his hand and said, "If this scientist only speculates, mankind will once again experience the flood that swept the earth. ”

"And this time, we don't have Noah's Ark."

Ao Guanhai's words made everyone's emotions tense again, and Landau coughed lightly: "As our President said, the disaster of solar radiation cannot be avoided after all. I have one thing to remind you of. ”

The smiling Landau said unhurriedly, "No one can guarantee when the next coronal mass ejection will be, and when the next coronal mass ejection will be, whether we will find a way to avoid it as we do now." ”

As soon as Landau's voice fell, the only admiral in the room looked displeased and said very dissatisfied: "Mr. Landau, there is not a single stupid person here, nor a single enemy of yours. Don't go around in circles here. ”

"In the distant past, the Isu prepared seven scenarios in response to the impending coronal mass ejection." Landau stood in the middle of the room and raised his hand to make a gesture of seven.

"The first option is to build four towers, which can be used to extract the energy of solar flares and invisibly disperse the ejected coronal material."

Landau looked left and right, spread his hands and said, "This plan is not lacking in terms of technical means or resources. But they didn't have time. ”

With his outstretched palms behind his back, Landau smiled, "Of course, the good news is that they have set up an automatic construction program, and they must have completed the first tower by now." In this way, we also have a quarter of the plan, and only need to complete the remaining three towers. ”

"The bad news is that, if nothing happens, the end of the world will come in about three years, around 2012." Landau looked down at the carpet and sighed, "We don't have time. ”

Landau raised his head and stretched out his hand again to Okukanhai to make a gesture, "The second option is to improve the Ring of Eden and build a position with an idea to protect the Earth. It's the ring you're wearing on your hand, which not only avoids bullets, but also prevents the golden apple from controlling it. ”

"Of course, the plan failed unsurprisingly." Landau pointed to the ring on the admiral's little finger, "General, I'm sure you can see that the ring is too small. ”

"The Isu don't have that much material to accomplish this plan." Landau walked over to the general, picked up the apple in the fruit bowl and said, "They came up with a new plan, a third plan. ”

"To be honest, I always felt like there was something behind this plan." Landau held the apple high and said, "Golden apple, I'm sure you know something.

In the third scenario, both humans and cats have a magical ability to believe in something when enough people believe it, it will come true."

Landau put down the apple and took a bite and swallowed it, looking at Ao Guanhai with an innocent expression, "Hey, my Mr. President, that's not what I said. This is the description of the Isu. ”

Holding the apple and watching it repeatedly, Landau complained, "This apple is not very delicious, please buy it in a different place next time." ”

Landau held the apple aloft again, this time above his head, and said, "So, the Isu plan is to launch the golden apple into low earth orbit, and then make all mankind have the idea that 'we will be safe'." ”

Putting down the apple, Landau looked contemptuously at the politicians around him, "I don't think there are aliens here, and as human beings, we know very well how difficult this plan is." ”

"After the failure of the third plan, the Isu believed that the destruction was due to the existence of the flesh." Landau paused, and said with a gloomy face: "Some of them have put forward a proposal that flesh and blood are weak and the machine will last forever. ”

Landau threw the apple in his hand into the trash, the gloomy look on his face was gone, and he smiled very brightly and said, "Fortunately, this plan also failed." Although the consciousness of the Isu people can survive in the machine, there will be a series of after-effects, which will eventually be stopped. ”

"Even though the fourth scenario failed, they came up with a new one on top of that--- upload awareness of a sturdy container."

Landau saw Andy frowning and smiled, "That's right, Andy, I guess you must have thought of the Matrix, didn't you?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't," Landau turned his head to look at Okukanhai, "Mr. President, I think you must understand the biggest problem with this plan. Once the consciousness is uploaded, it cannot be downloaded. ”

Landau walked to Ao Guanhai's table, pointed to the desk calendar, and said, "The sixth plan is also a magical plan. Although the Isu were studying in a strange direction, they nevertheless reached out to time. ”

"They want to tame time, go back to where it all began, and go from that time to the first scenario." Landau scanned everyone's expressions as they changed, "Their plan to explore time has succeeded. ”

Faced with such information, these people finally couldn't hold their breath.

"Impossible!"

"No one can play with time?"

"Time travel doesn't exist!"

"Is it true that you are back in the future?"

There was some strange exclamation mixed in it, Landau raised his eyebrows at Andy, but he didn't expect Andy to be a fan of "Back to the Future".

Landau slapped the president's table, a palm print appeared, and Landau looked at Ao Guanhai in embarrassment, forgetting that his body had strengthened to a certain point.

Everyone in the office looked at Landau, who turned to everyone with a sneer, "The good news is that they have only partially succeeded, and they have indeed gained the ability to wait and see time." ”

"The bad news is that they have a seventh plan. The most successful, but also the most controversial plan. ”

Landau turned his head to look at Okukanhai beside him, and asked in a loud voice, "My dear Mr. President, have you heard of the Ship of Theseus paradox?" ”

"If you replace all the parts of a ship one by one, then the ship is still not the same as before."

You can know that there are ghosts, Lan Dao said a few words in his heart, looked at the deep contemplative Ao Guan Hai, and turned to walk towards the fireplace.

Landau tinkered in front of the fireplace for a while, and finally lit the fireplace.

Fluttering the ashes on his body, Landau muttered to himself, "Remember the plan I just mentioned about the Isu uploading consciousness? They upload the genetic sequence of a particular Isu to the entire human gene pool, and the Isu will be reincarnated from the heir through genetic awakening. ”

"There's a word in the East, and I think it's the right way to describe it: snatching away."
