Chapter 3: Becoming the Wall-Facing (2)
When he walked out of the hatch, the sun had just emerged from the east, and Chen Xi tightened his clothes, a little cold.
"Dude, you are really weak, come, hurry up and get in the car, we are going to the United Nations headquarters."
Chen Xi nodded, followed behind Luo Ji, and boarded a bulletproof reinforced car at the end of the gangway.
More than 40 minutes later, the vehicle stopped, and after getting out of the car, the two were surrounded by a group of tall men in black and walked towards the United Nations building.
Less than a hundred meters away, Chen Xi was out of breath, there were physical reasons, and there were reasons why he was surrounded by people in black and had difficulty breathing, so he asked for help: "Mr. Dashi, Mr. Kanter, can you let them disperse now?" ”
Kanter understood Chinese, nodded, and pushed the wheelchair out of a room, "Mr. Chen Xi, please forgive me, using a wheelchair outside, the gap is too large to form effective protection." ”
Chen Xi nodded silently and said nothing.
Pushing his wheelchair, Kanter said to the two: "I have not been authorized to give anything to account, except to say that the two gentlemen are about to attend a very important meeting to announce a matter that will determine the fate of mankind, and in addition, at the meeting, if the two gentlemen have any doubts or other questions, please consult after the meeting." ”
"You don't have to do anything at the meeting."
After waiting in the meditation room for a while, the door opened, and a man in black poked his head out and gestured to Kan Nod, who then looked at Luo Ji and Chen Xi, and said, "It's time to go in, I'll go in with you, Comrade Shi Qiang, you wait outside." ”
Shi Qiang nodded solemnly, "Okay, I really didn't expect that there would be a day when we would call each other comrades." ”
……
Kanter pushed Chen Xi out of the meditation room, Luo Ji followed behind Kanter, and the three of them walked into the United Nations General Assembly Hall, the conference hall was full of people, and the buzzing voices of hundreds of people were endless, obviously discussing something in a low voice.
Entering the conference room, Chen Xi consciously got up, Kanter put the wheelchair aside, and led the two of them along the passage between the seats, the three of them didn't attract anyone's attention at first, until they walked too far forward, and a few people turned their heads and looked curiously.
Kante arranged for Luo Ji to sit in the fifth row in the seat to the right of the aisle, while Chen Xi sat in the seat on the left.
"Comrade Chen Xi, this is a hearing aid specially prepared for you with simultaneous interpretation function."
Kante handed Chen Xi a headset, then went to report to Say, and finally sat down on the edge of the second row.
Gradually, the venue fell silent, and UN Secretary-General Say stepped onto the podium: "The 19th meeting of the Planetary Defense Council is now on the final agenda, announcing the list of finalists who will be selected for the wall, and announcing the start of the wall-facing project. ”
After giving an overview of Project Face, Say began revealing the identities of the five Wallfacers.
"The first wall-facer, Frederick Taylor, the second wall-facer, Manuel Rediaz..."
After being awarded the Wall-Facing Medal by the Secretary-General, the three Wall-Facing Faces consciously returned to their seats, and the two Wall-Facing Faces were led down the podium and sat in the center of the first row of the conference room with the other three Wall-Facing Figures.
Towards the end of the long meeting, Chen Xi, who cheered up, raised his hand with a mockery: "Dear Madam Secretary-General, can I come to the stage and say a few words of my feelings?" ”
Chen Xi's soft voice was manually translated by the simultaneous interpretation system and faithfully reached the ears of the delegates of various countries.
Everyone looked at the emaciated fifth-level wall-facing person in surprise, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, and even Luo Ji came back from his confusion and looked at the difficult brothers around him.
Say made a gesture of please: "As a wall-facer, you have this right. ”
Chen Xi stood up and slowly walked up to the stage.
Because of the dual factors of physical and mental factors, he felt that every step he took was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary ordinary person, but in this life, he stood at the center of the power stage of human civilization, he was stage frightened, and he lost his self-confidence in the heart to do a big job, make a career, and fundamentally save all mankind.
Standing on the rostrum again, Chen Xi tried to calm his breathing as much as possible, and then began his speech:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just turned twenty-three years old in a few months, and I am still just a child compared to everyone here, both in terms of age and experience, right? Leave the task of saving humanity to a child, you ......"
Chen Xi circled the venue, looked at everyone, and then said amazingly: "... Why don't you die? ”
There was a dead silence in the room, and after a moment, Hines applauded, "Friend, praise you for your courage." ”
One representative asked, "Meaning, you want to give up your identity as a wall-facer?" From the moment the plan is implemented, you have no right to give up..."
Chen Xi smiled and said excitedly: "Because of the power of the person facing the wall, I can stand here and scold you waste and garbage without any scruples, how can I give it up?" ”
"Ah~, power is like honey, no one wants to give it up, it is also poison, poisoning innocent thoughts."
He then asked Say: "Madam Secretary-General, I wonder how much power the wall-facing person really has?" ”
Say repeats what has already been said: "You have been given a high level of authority to mobilize and use some of the war resources that Earth already has, and nations will do their best to cooperate with your plans. ”
"Well, after entering the era of crisis, the entertainment industry is dying, games are dying, the rich spiritual culture of human civilization is dying, and cultural creators are dying."
"And I, an indie game creator, losing a game is equivalent to losing half a life, so I hope that the game industry can survive and that countries will put this industry in my hands."
The representative of the beautiful country slapped the table: "You want to interfere with the strategy set by the United Nations? ”
Strategy refers to the completion of the reform of the economic system by all mankind in 10 to 15 years and the full entry into a wartime planned economy.
Chen Xi shrugged indifferently: "This is part of the plan!" If you don't agree, strip me of my ridiculous face-to-face status, you have that right and power. ”
The French representative said: "Mr. Chen Xi, you are just satisfying your own selfish desires!" ”
"Really? If you do a questionnaire and ask how many people in the world support my plan, I will immediately terminate the plan as long as more than 30 percent of the people do not support me, provided that it is genuine and effective. ”
Ninety-nine percent of the delegates of various countries were speechless for a moment to work hard for the continuation of human civilization and to work and play properly for the continuation of human civilization.
Rediaz laughed loudly: "Mr. Chen Xi, I want to say sorry for my contempt for you not long ago, the first thing you did when you became a wall-facing person was to win the hearts of the people. ”
"You have great statesmanship talents."
Chen Xi smiled, and the person facing the wall smiled: "I'm just trying to save myself, without the game, I will really die." ”
It's the same with people, people are not screws on a machine.
Let me be a robot, work for the so-called future of human beings for a lifetime, no entertainment, nervous, I am willing to commit suicide now, after work, there is entertainment, there is hope, and the spirit will not collapse.
After experiencing a great trough of about half a century, the human spirit could not bear the pressure and collapsed, and since then, the humanistic principle comes first, the continuation of civilization is second, and human beings have begun to enjoy life, regardless of the three-body crisis hundreds of years later.
In such an environment, the spirit that humanity has spent a century rebuilding has lost something very important compared to what it used to be.
When the technological explosion occurred, stellar-class warships capable of destroying planetary surfaces at will and sailing at speeds of up to fifteen percent of the speed of light were built, they were completely inflated, thinking that they could defeat the Trimaran Fleet.
When the space fleet failed miserably, the spirit of human civilization collapsed again.
During the era of deterrence, all mankind knew the law of the dark forest, which was a crucial point in time to reshape the rational spirit of the dark forest of human civilization, but it was grasped by the three-body civilization.
The consequences of all this led to the people electing Cheng Xin, an unworthy Virgin, as the sword bearer.
"Moreover, culture wars are wars."
Representatives of various countries chattered and discussed for a long time, and decided to integrate the resources of game companies, studios, servers and other countries in the form of a company to Chen Xi, who faced the wall.
"Let's call it Dawning Technology."
