Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Age of the Stars (2)

The huge underground city, the streets and alleys, and the screens that can display the screen are all showing the voting ratio.

Self-destruction is a very special bill, so there is no time limit, and everyone can fully consider it.

The blood-colored progress bar, which represents the deterrent value, rose by 10 percent in the minute after the referendum began, which means that more than 300 million people immediately made their choice.

In the fifth minute, more than half of them agreed to deterrence, and the Trimaran Fleet would arrive in the solar system in more than a century, and that could be the end of humanity, and even if it didn't, life wouldn't be much better.

A few years ago, there was gossip that human civilization can continue, but all scientific researchers must be executed.

It's not grapevine, this is a plot line of the Xinghai Doomsday Campaign, the plot line developer, signed by Chen Xi, so everyone takes it for granted that this is some kind of future that Mr. Chen Xi sees.

In this plot line, although the Trisolarans will not exterminate human beings, they will be driven to Australia, 3.6 billion people are crammed on one island, although they will not starve to death, but life will definitely not be much better, the virtual world will collapse, and the very wide city will be crowded with people, and they will not be able to travel everywhere or go to space to play...

Everyone said: "It's so miserable, it's better to die directly, in case the Trisolarans don't give us nuclear fuel and electricity, there will be famine in a few decades, and the desert-like land can't grow food, and I don't want to experience a new round of big trough." ”

"And ah, killing scientific researchers, in other words, the death of elites and the lives of ordinary people, isn't this a means of pure differentiation for us? Today it is the elite who dies, and tomorrow it is me. ”

"You kill the elite of the family for no reason, and the first thing to go crazy is the dawn, how dare you trample on humanism? Without the support of the dawn, why should we fight with this group of elites? ”

In the seventh minute, more than 60 percent of the votes were in favor, 1 percent were against, and 5 percent were abstentions.

It also needs the support of 10 percent, 300 million people, and the referendum will pass.

It doesn't matter who abstains, follow the crowd and whoever wins helps whom.

Opponents argue that if the solar system is exposed, human civilization will not be able to enjoy even a moment of happiness.

"Deterrence strikes may arrive at any time, and human civilization will do everything possible to flee in order to continue."

"Now that the coalition government has the power to mobilize all resources, including forced labor, without threatening the survival and development of the people, humanity is back at the beginning of the crisis era."

The scholar retorted: "It's different, this time it's everyone's own choice, not the choice made by others for us, no matter how crazy the escape plan is, it will not affect the survival and development of the individual!" The resources needed for human survival and development are insignificant compared to the enormous productive forces possessed by human civilization. ”

"You just can't have a good time."

In any case, the people who oppose it are probably the ones who have really been raised, and it is difficult to take on the big responsibility.

Half an hour later, in addition to Neptune's 100,000 people, all the tickets of the three million people outside the earth were remitted.

Those who are willing to go to the outside world to endure hardships dare not say a hundred, but at least 99% of them are avengers who are looking for trouble for the three-body civilization, and they voted in favor of it as a matter of course.

An hour later, the abstentions rose to 9 percent, the opposition votes rose to 2 percent, and 17 percent of the people still had not made a choice, and 2 percent of the votes in favor were still needed, and the motion was passed.

First there was an accident on the side of the Star Federation, and then there was an accident on the side of the Earth Federation, and the three-body people wanted to cry without tears, but they still decided to struggle.

The ambassador of the Three-Body Civilization to Human Civilization, Miss Tomoko, applied to the coalition government for talks.

Most of the city's screens were temporarily turned back into the Coalition Government Headquarters, and the Secretary-General said: "I thought we didn't really have anything to talk about." ”

Tomoko was silent for a long time and said, "This is a request, please don't carry out deterrence and give the two civilizations more time to escape." ”

"The Three-Body Civilization no longer restricts the development of human civilization, and is willing to share the research progress of the curvature engine technology, and we will turn to it as soon as the First Fleet arrives at the Oort Nebula and collects enough material."

The Secretary-General smiled, pointed with his right hand, and tapped his left shoulder, "I, a member of the Stars Order, the one facing the wall. ”

He straightened his arm and pointed at Tomoko's projection: "You are also wall-facers. ”

"I can't believe a word of the words of those who face the wall, hehe, why should human beings believe your words? You have deceived humanity once, fellow citizens, and remember that the deterrence of the human community is only 0 and 1, and if we do not enforce deterrence, we have no deterrence. ”

Three minutes later, the motion passed, taking a total of one hour and forty minutes.

The result of the motion was sent over the radio to the Neptune base four hours away, but it was interfered with by water droplets halfway through.

Once again, the radio equipment on the Blue Star was affected, and this time, the anti-jamming system was overloaded.

The secretary general smiled and said, "Instead of blocking the sun, do you want to block the blue star instead?" Let's take a gamble and see if the forced comet landing campaign organized by our stars and Mr. Chen Xi's tombstone project have been successful. ”

In fact, there is no pleasure in the left-behind faction, the difference between the two factions is that the responsibilities are different, one retains the seeds of human civilization and sails to the stars first, and the other stays in the blue star, hoping to redeem mankind in the true sense and let everyone go to the stars, the latter is more risky.

The Secretary-General pressed a button, the electrical signal was converted into an optical signal, which was transmitted to all parts of the world through optical fibers, missile silos were launched, and hundreds of missiles carrying nuclear bombs flew into deep space and exploded at a distance of 40,000 kilometers from the Blue Star.

Ten minutes later, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Callisto, asteroids..., thousands of stellar-class nuclear missiles were launched.

"Trisolaran, you don't think we're really planning to blow up the stars, do you? In addition to nailing your Zhizi and preventing it from running around in the solar system, the purpose of blowing up the star is just to send a signal, which Neptune can't see, but the radar on the comet, if it has, can receive a nuclear electromagnetic pulse, which is a command to broadcast. ”

"Even if the forced landing of the comet is not successful, we can send someone to inform you, and you can destroy our ship."

"We can also build new high-power radars, Blue Star, Moon, Mercury..., all have enough industrial power, you can destroy the city to warn us, but whether we heed the warning, you can't decide."

"Humanity has chosen to destroy itself and kill itself, and I don't think your warnings will do much."

"You shouldn't have left just a drop of water and caused the doppelganger to be incapable now, there are many ways for us to inform the Neptune base to carry out the plan."

"It's useless to stay longer, the Star Federation should have been separated at this time, and some fleets will sail to the closest star system to the solar system, and it will only take about fifty years to sail, and after that, they will broadcast the coordinates of the three-body world, which is a plan that has been decided a long time ago."

A few minutes later, the Zhizi in the orbit of Mars detected the electromagnetic wave, and the water droplet quickly turned its head and continued to block the sun, this time broadcasting the position of the three-body galaxy.

The forced landing of the comet was indeed successful, and someone survived and lived alone for ten years, rubbing his hands out of the radar station.

"Okay, Miss Tomoko, goodbye, we're going to be busy sailing, I hope the other droplets don't sail back to the solar system, otherwise we don't mind wasting five years writing down the coordinates of your three-body world in the orbit of the other half of Neptune."

"Now that you have a longer escape time than human civilization, you should be satisfied."
