Lao Lu clearly knew that if he pressed that button personally - even though many people would be secretly happy, such as Nick Fury - more "moral emperors" would definitely jump out and condemn him. After all, for ordinary people, if they just kill the other party's fleet and destroy the other party's war potential, many people will say "yes"! Because the Chitauri are home invaders, the people of Earth have the right to fight back.
Can the other party's civilization be completely exterminated? I'm afraid most people will hesitate for a while and then say "no".
The Dawn party represented by Lu Yuan are not victims, they are just mercenaries. So he returned the "right of choice" to the "Avengers", one of the parties in the war, and thoughtfully opened a dedicated line on Earth for them to seek help off-site.
For Lu Yuan, this mission is a "short-term and quick" project - its main purpose is to repay the favor of the catalyst; its secondary purpose is to collect a large amount of civilian technology to improve the living environment of Dawn - the total mission takes 72 hours (calculated The time difference is six months, and the costs and benefits of dispatching a squadron are very clear.
Lu Yuan does not need to add extraneous branches.
Maybe in the eyes of the Avengers, as long as the Chitauri are eliminated, they can live a happy life from now on. But we all know that the Marvel Universe is actually a complete tragedy, and we live on the razor's edge every day! Marvel's slogan is, "If you don't kill me, I will kill myself." In this crisis-ridden world, one more Chitauri is not enough, and one less Chitauri is not enough.
Therefore, whether to completely destroy the Chitauri home planet is essentially meaningless.
Therefore, Lu Yuan will not bear the blame.
What's more, he has other worries that need to be solved urgently - there is a big problem with the Dawn.
*****
One of Lu Yuan's men, no, it should be said to be the aborigines of the Dawn, was named Wang Jiawei.
He is not a movie director. He started out as a guard. Before being frozen, he was classified as a pioneer militiaman. After waking up, he became the first armed personnel on board the Dawn. Wang Jiawei participated in Dawn's pioneering operations in the Caribbean, and also participated in the Spear Galaxy War, and was "killed" twice. Now Wang Jiawei is one of the managers of "City of Dawn" - judging from this background, he should be the core strength of Dawn.
But it was such a person who defected while Lu Yuan was away for a few days!
And Ms. Liming told him that if Lu Yuan didn't start to solve the potential psychological problems on the Liming as soon as possible, this would be just the beginning!
Damn the psychological problems, Lu Yuan now wants to dig out everyone's memories and "take a look", and then delete all those "shouldn't have" thoughts! As a captain, although he has never done that, he really has the right to control his thoughts - you must know that the Dawn is just an immigrant ship, and there is absolutely no other name called "Sanzhi Paradise"!
Dawn's "psychological screening" began from the time of construction. The first document submitted by every crew member involved in the construction is a psychological report. The construction process that lasted for more than ten years was also a process of identifying extremists - liberals, nationalists, neo-Nazis, environmentalists, psychopaths, extreme justice, pet fetishists, violent maniacs, pedophile criminals, Moral role models...and so on, will all be eliminated.
You are right, good people and the Holy Mother are also excluded.
From the perspective of social moral construction, these people are indispensable. But in terms of the survival of group immigrants, these people may cause more serious harm than those violent maniacs. If morality can be divided into 0 points and 100 points, then immigration screening is to find those people whose morality scores range from 25 points to 75 points, and try to concentrate around 50 points.
You can think of these people as mediocre and even philistine, but there is no doubt that the social structure composed of these people is the most stable. And for an immigrant spacecraft that may take thousands of years to fly, stability is undoubtedly the most important thing! But now Ms. Liming told him that even this "society" was about to collapse, how could he not be devastated.
"First of all, I didn't tax, secondly, I didn't ask for the right to first night, and thirdly, there was no unemployment rate. Are they out of their minds or something... Wait, you said that the geth, Misaka sister, and greenskins are all fine? The only problem is the original Resident humans?" After receiving Ms. Liming's affirmative answer, Lu Yuan smiled helplessly. "Is this happening again? How come humans are always a big trouble!"
It can be said that on the Dawn, although Lu Yuan initially relied on immigrants to establish the foundation, it was the greenskins, snake demons, geth and the Misakas who finally joined the Dawn that brought the Dawn to its peak. In the later period, even the immigrants from several major races such as the Star Alliance, Asari, and Quarian were more useful than the indigenous people. The individual effects of human aborigines are very strong, but when calculated as a whole, only 40%-60% of the results are left due to internal mutual cancellation.
Lu Yuan will not control or monitor the thoughts of these ordinary crew members, but Ms. Dawn will - she monitors everything on the Dawn! When thoughts such as plotting to split, trying to stage a botched election, subversion, etc. appear, they will be discovered by Ms. Liming in time, and then they will be "cleaned and removed" silently. This mechanism was not determined by Lu Yuan, but had been established as early as the beginning of the construction of the immigration ship - because there was no memory operation technology at that time, the methods were even more cruel. The United Nations authorized at that time that the host of the immigration ship could conduct humane cleaning when it judged necessary!
"This is Wang Jiawei's file." An electronic document was passed over.
"Let's see...introverted, likes to be alone, likes to wear sunglasses (not letting others see his eyes, often emotional, likes old movies..." Lu Yuan slapped the table, "This guy clearly knows He is just a sullen coquettish person who will turn into a pervert if he keeps it for a long time! How dare you let such a person board the ship?"
Lu Yuan's intelligence was very good. As soon as he looked at the file, he compared the name with the person, and immediately had an intuitive memory. In his impression, there was indeed such a boring soldier.
"During the construction of Dawn, Wang Jiawei had a stable relationship and his attitude was more positive than now." Ms. Liming explained.
"I have a stable relationship... Where is that woman now? Forget it." Lao Lu said angrily. He pinched the bridge of his nose. He had a headache. Long-term closed environment, island effect, far away from homeland, lack of humanistic environment, etc., these are the problems of Dawn. Even though there are millions of people on board, it still cannot form a complete social system.
In this environment, it is easy to cause hidden mental illness and then cause confusion - such as changes in relationships, etc.
Among humans, lilies and gay sex have long been legalized, and it is normal for couples to be separated and reunited. The sex robots made by Ges chips have an experience far beyond that of ordinary people, and have become the first choice of many people. Not to mention that a large number of women have recently become obsessed with green-skinned orcs. It is said that they can’t get pregnant because of their big machines, good jobs and good bodies...
Emotional fluctuations are normal, but defecting because of this?
Lu Yuan shook his head and decided to put this matter aside for the time being. "Let me deal with it when I get back." As Ms. Liming said, this is probably not an individual case, but a group problem. If it is not handled well, the Dawn itself may collapse before the Mona people are defeated.
*****
"Time's up! Tell us your decision." Lu Yuan pushed open the door of the conference room and entered.
After a few seconds of silence, "I choose to press the button!" Black Widow Natasha took the lead in making the decision. She pressed the button in her hand directly, and then threw the green button back to the table. "Thirty years is not enough time! I may no longer be here in 30 years, but I never want Lily's world to have to worry about the Chitauri invasion!"
"Me too!" Captain America Rogers picked up a button, hesitated for a while and then pressed it decisively! "If there had been a button that could directly kill Hitler, even if it involved innocent people, I would have pressed it!" After saying that, he put down the green button with relief and leaned into the back of his chair.
"Come on, I saw you were on the phone just now. Who were you talking to? Nick Fury or Mr. President? Brother, don't take the blame for those people! You will be spurned by everyone for this decision, and those people will never admit it. It's their order!" After hearing Stark's sarcasm and advice, Rogers shook his head stubbornly and emphasized, "It's my personal decision and has nothing to do with anyone else."
It's a pity that no one here believed it. Because normally, voting at the back is more stressful than voting at the front. In this kind of voting, Rogers and Stark are always reserved for the last and second positions, taking on more responsibility. But his preemptive vote today is an anomaly in itself. Moreover, this side is connected to the other side of the earth, and there must be some dirty transactions going on in private.
"I believe in the development of science and technology. We should no longer be afraid of the Chitauri in 30 years! Even if there is no foreign aid by then, we can still defeat them! So the Chitauri are no longer a threat." Stark said, he put his hand The button inside was thrown directly on the table, "I choose to refuse. Every civilization should have the value of existence, and I have no right to destroy them directly."
As one of the leaders in the Avengers Alliance, he voted early to curb the opponent's momentum of winning two votes in a row. "Tony's decision is my decision." Pepper gave up the button in her hand, everyone knew this would happen.
Suddenly, the situation became a two-two draw.
That leaves Bruce Banner, Thor and Hawkeye.
"Asgard will not refuse an opportunity for complete victory." Thor pressed the button. "Believe me, there is pure evil in the galaxy, and the Chitauri are not far from it."
"No, no one is 100% pure evil!" Banner denied, "If no one gives the Hulk a chance, he will turn into a beast and never have the possibility of proving himself. Of course, I won't live now. So, I want to give the Chitauri a chance to prove it." Bruce Banner dropped the button.
Three to three!
"Wait...am I the one who needs to make the final decision?" Hawkeye, who always does things slowly, was shocked to discover this terrible fact. "Hey, you can't do this!"
"Yes, we can." He asked his colleagues for help, but several people nodded at him. Hawkeye Barton immediately felt cheated.
"But..." "You still have sixty seconds, Barton." Lu Yuan said adding fuel to the fire.
"Wait! I need time!" Hawkeye was sweating. His idea just now was probably to choose "Destruction". But when his choice was about to become the final result, Barton suddenly felt that what he had just thought was so irresponsible! Time passed by second by second, and everyone looked at him, making his hand holding the button tremble more and more. Just when Barton was about to be unable to withstand the pressure, suddenly his phone rang!
"Huh~" Hawkeye, who seemed to have escaped from death, immediately picked up the phone, "Hello, who is that?"
"Mr. Clinton Francis Patton," came a familiar, firm, cadenced voice that could be heard clearly by everyone in the room. "I am the President of the United States of America."
"Oh, hello! Mr. President, what can I do?" Hawkeye said quickly and formally.
"I represent America, I represent the peace-loving people all over the world," the American president's voice suddenly sounded higher, "I represent thousands of years of human culture, I represent our blue planet at the edge of the Milky Way, I represent the starry sky above our heads and The morality in your heart begs you... to put down the button, don't press it."
Stark across the table rolled his eyes and held up a sign: "I bet the President is broadcast live around the world!" Although he supports not pressing buttons, he also hates any "political show" and "political correctness"! Black Widow also held up a sign that read, "Looks like the President will be re-elected in record time."
Only Captain America Rogers looked very hurt, as if he was tricked by the big guys and sold at a low price.
"I follow your orders, Mr. President." After Hawkeye finished speaking, he hung up the phone and dropped the button on the table like a hot potato.
"Then the bombardment is cancelled, and I declare the war with the Chitauri to be victorious!" Lu Yuan said.
Everyone can imagine that on the other side of the universe, perhaps people all over the earth are cheering—both for victory and for their own noble character. The fly in the ointment is that the result cannot be publicized to the whole galaxy; of course, it would be better if there was a global vote before making a decision... The president of the United States has done all the things that are in the limelight now.
But there were several people at the scene, everyone had a sarcastic smile - they all knew that the matter was not over yet.
Sure enough, a moment later, Hawkeye's phone rang again. This time he picked up, it was still the President of the United States, but the high-spirited attitude just now was gone, "Hi, Patton! It's me again. Did you press your button? Not pressed? Very good... give the phone to the alien .”
As soon as the phone was handed over to Lu Yuan's hand, he said directly, "The Earth needs to airdrop 500,000 people to that planet, and you need to provide ground support, and transport everything that can be moved back to the Earth in the next three years. Outside. Starman, please make a price."
"Sorry, the deal is over. And you can't offer me any price that will impress me."
"Fuck!" the President of the United States cursed, "then press the button and blow up that dirty planet!"
"You want to regret it behind your back and let me take the blame for you? Who do you think you are?" After speaking, Lu Yuan hung up the phone.
Now, the faces of several people in the Avengers Alliance are full of embarrassment.
"Well, Pepper has prepared a celebration party on the top floor of Stark Tower. Do you want to come?"
*****
There is no man who doesn’t look forward to a romantic encounter. They agreed not to be each other's managers, but when they heard it was Xiaojiajiao's party invitation, Lao Lu quickly sent the child back and then came coquettishly.
The party was held on the rooftop of Stark Tower. This should be the last time the building will be open. Because the entire New York City building complex was carved into the face of Michael Jackson by "hateful aliens", the cost of demolition and reconstruction was astronomical! Not to mention the astronomical nuclear radiation cleanup costs... In the end, the US government plans to choose a new site to rebuild New New York (nny), which will become the "Chitauri War Memorial National Park" and will be officially opened after the radiation is removed.
Not wanting to be entangled by those dignitaries, Lu Yuan walked to the edge of the building alone and admired the endless ruins of the city.
Footsteps sounded behind him... Sure enough, Lu Yuan knew it was Xiaojiao as soon as he heard it.
Lao Lu is so confused...you said that if she wants to date me, should I date her? Or an appointment? Or an appointment? By the way, she seems to be an old maid? Maybe she has nothing to do with Tony! Well, that must be the case! Lao Lu finally found an excuse and immediately felt at ease.
"You're here." Lu Yuan said without looking back.
The next words should be "I'm here", "You shouldn't be here", "But I'm still here"... Wait, Lao Lu suddenly thought of a question - if she hadn't read Gu Long, how could everyone pretend to be cool together?
Just when he was thinking wildly, there was a "pop" sound, and Lao Lu felt a pain in his buttocks, and he flew out of the rooftop - being kicked on the buttocks by stiletto heels, people who have never experienced it will never imagine it. That... feeling of pain.
"How did you..." Lao Lu angrily covered his unspeakable words and turned around in the air. Just as he was about to ask questions, he stopped - because he saw that Xiaojiao was not Xiaojiao, and her face with her back to everyone turned into Nana's appearance - and the adult version of Alona!
