"Because we have to show this attitude."
This is Lu Yuanming's private office. Wu Zhenhua relaxed very much after the door was closed. He threw the documents on Lu Yuanming's desk, then brought a chair at random and sat across from the desk. He looked at Lu Yuan With a puzzled expression on his face, he immediately shook his head and said, "This is a political matter. You don't actually need to delve into it. Just deal with Lin Yan's matter according to your own ideas."
Lu Yuanming still asked inexplicably: "But she did nothing wrong. Where did this punishment come from? You'd better explain it to me in detail, otherwise I won't be able to think about it."
Wu Zhenhua said helplessly: "This is the truth, but you have to know how long it has been since we established the unified government of mankind? Counting the six years since we entered the interstellar deep space, the total is less than ten years, right? Before that, we were not one A unity, even civilizations are different, nationalities are different, religions are also different... In short, it is too complicated. To put it simply, it is because of your existence that the unified government of mankind has the existence and legal foundation, so be a When the problem involves you, no matter how small it is, it becomes bigger than the sky.”
Lu Yuanming thought carefully for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "...Is there someone fighting for power? It's only been a few years since the end."
Wu Zhenhua shook his head and said: "No, that's not the case. Although there are indeed some disputes over government affairs, status, and power, they are not to the point of fighting for power. After all, we have stepped from the earth into the deep space of the universe, put aside all disputes, and work together to protect human civilization. , we still have this awareness...The real reason is actually that some people are panicked."
Lu Yuanming was stunned. This answer was something he didn't expect. He quickly asked: "What's going on? I'm really not familiar with this aspect. I'm not even a beginner. You're not willing to teach me this in a deeper way. If you hadn't told me this time, I wouldn't even know what happened to you... Tell me, why are you so scared?"
Wu Zhenhua looked around, not looking at surveillance or anything like that. This was Lu Yuanming's office. No one dared to act arrogant here. He just went to get a cup of tea and knocked on the door to ask someone from outside to bring it. Hot water has the feeling of making tea and discussing things.
When everything was ready, he took a sip of tea and said, "This actually involves your past online speeches and the short movies you watched."
Lu Yuanming was also drinking tea. When he heard the Internet speech, it was fine, but when he heard the short movie, he choked on the tea and made him spray the tea all over the table.
Wu Zhenhua blocked his tea cup with his hand suspiciously. He frowned and said: "Why are you panicking? This is just human nature. He said it as if no one was a teenager before... There is nothing to be ashamed of, and what are these sexual quirks of yours?" , compared to raping lizards or sun cactus, you at least like beautiful women, right?"
"...Please, stop talking." Lu Yuanming's toes started to feel strange again.
Wu Zhenhua did not say this anymore: "In short, because of your personal political leanings and three views, except for us...I am specifically referring to us Han people, other people have always been in fear, for example...when humans At the end of the world, you can save a small number of people, what do you think they will think? Do they think that you are so selfless, abandoning all the people with the same civilization and blood as you, and go to save them?"
"Even if human beings develop smoothly in the deep space of the universe, there are 900 million people in our civilization. Coupled with your three views and political tendencies, their civilization and nation will disappear sooner or later. Although this It’s a very slow process, but what’s the difference between this and the extermination of their species?”
At this point, Lu Yuanming actually understood what Wu Zhenhua meant, and Wu Zhenhua didn't say any more. He just drank tea quietly and waited for Lu Yuanming to figure out the meaning.
After a while, Lu Yuanming breathed out and said: "I don't think I have done anything partial since the moment I became the decision maker. Even if I treat that nation who lived a good life, I will treat everyone equally. , whether it was during the Wandering Moon Project or when entering the deep space of the universe, am I not talking nonsense about this?"
Wu Zhenhua nodded, and Lu Yuanming continued: "But you are right, people's opinions are not that way, no matter how fair and just I am, just because of my origin, my name, and my skin color, it is enough It makes them panic, after all, to put it bluntly, before 2024, they will still be the enemies of me and my nation."
"It seems you understand."
Wu Zhenhua smiled and said: "This is what happened with Lin Yan. Those who proposed to punish her know that Lin Yan should not be punished, and they also know that you will not punish her, but they must To make such a personal proposal to support you, to put it bluntly, they are different from us. For example, I can chat and laugh with you in private, and those people above me can treat you as a junior if necessary. Nephew, right? But it is impossible for them with the same status to do this. They must show their absolute support for you, so as to alleviate the fear in their hearts."
"...Converts are fanatical." Lu Yuanming said this word after a long silence.
Wu Zhenhua didn't say anything, but everything was said in silence.
Lu Yuanming picked up the red-headed document and looked at it for a few times, and was about to tear it up, but in the end he put his hand down. He just picked up a pen and carefully wrote down his punishment decision on it, and then signed his name.
Only then did Lu Yuanming ask again: "To be honest, since I left the earth and came to the deep space of the universe, there are no issues such as ethnicity, skin color, religion, etc. We are all human beings, and we are all here for The human race strives and fights for human civilization...Of course, I also understand their fear and anxiety. Is there any way to eliminate their fear and anxiety?"
"...This is why I came to deliver this document."
Wu Zhenhua laughed and said: "Xiaolu, you are actually not young anymore, right... Why don't you think about it?"
After saying that, Wu Zhenhua took out a USB flash drive from his arms and placed it on Lu Yuanming's desk. Then he left the office with a smile on his face.
Lu Yuanming stared at the USB disk in stunned silence, and cursed in a low voice: "What kind of plane are you doing...Is it the time for me to get married? The universe war is about to start. Do you want me to get married now?"
After saying that, Lu Yuanming pushed the USB disk away, and then he started to clean up his desk.
Next, he will have to discuss major issues related to the life and death of mankind with senior officials, scientists, and think tanks!
When the USB disk was inserted into the computer, Lu Yuanming opened it as if nothing had happened...
The whole meeting place was full of discussions.
Senior officials are talking, military personnel are talking, think tank team members are talking, academics and scientists are talking, everyone is expressing their opinion, and the leader of each team is listening to the opinions of his subordinates and colleagues, because what happens next There will be another meeting here that is related to the life and death of mankind. They will all be part of this meeting.
At this moment, Lu Yuanming walked out of the door. He was followed by several qualified people, secretary Ke Yurong, and several soldiers including Wu Zhenhua. He walked to the podium without stopping. , without waiting for everyone in the meeting to quiet down, Lu Yuanming said directly into the microphone: "Before starting the meeting, I first set a tone..."
"This meeting will not discuss any proposals other than fighting to the death!"
After Lu Yuanming said these words, the discussion in the conference room suddenly fell silent, and a few seconds later erupted into an even more heated uproar. Those scholars and scientists were the most excited people, and in addition were the think tank team members.
The more I know about the level of the alien civilization nine point seven light years away, the more I know how powerful it is. It is a terrifying enemy that human civilization can never match today, so before Lu Yuanming held this meeting , the best choice for most scientists and think tank team members is to use Lu Yuanming's extraordinary power to escape and stay away from this second-level cosmic civilization. This is the best choice they have discussed.
There's no way humans can match it.
But Lu Yuanming blocked the escape route with just one sentence, which was naturally unacceptable to them.
Immediately, a scientist with a loud voice shouted in the audience: "Your Excellency, the decision maker, please don't make a hasty decision. The other party is a second-level cosmic civilization. This is definitely not something we can match!"
Lu Yuanming ignored it. He held the latest USB flash drive in his hand. In order to prevent the people in the audience from seeing clearly, a large picture was displayed on the screen behind him.
"This is a USB flash drive I just checked. The content inside is... Well, it was originally a personnel introduction for selecting a new secretary for me, but when I inserted it into the computer, there were only some pictures and text in it. .”
While speaking, Lu Yuanming handed the USB disk to a soldier who came over. The soldier quickly walked behind the podium, and soon what Lu Yuanming had just seen appeared on the screen.
The clear picture is like a video film shot, but its content is the star system where humans live.
From the deep space laboratory at the outermost edge of the star system, to the scrapped Alpha asteroid belt, to the layers of structure inside the moon, the storage layer, the living layer, the experimental layer, the moon center...
This is a long-range perspective, with a first-person view from large to small. In just over a minute, it went from the outermost edge of the star system to the inside of the moon, and finally ended up in an office. The person in the office was Lu Yuanming, and he happened to insert the USB disk into the computer.
Then text began to appear on the screen, some in Chinese, some in English, some in French, some in Russian... It can be said that all the known texts recorded by mankind were displayed.
There is not much text, just a few sentences.
"insect."
"surrender."
"Or perish."
After the text scrolled from bottom to top, another picture began to appear. This picture moved out of Lu Yuanming's office and wandered around the entire moon. All the pictures shown were women...pregnant women!
From women who are about to give birth, to women who are already pregnant, to women who have not yet discovered that they are pregnant, this picture goes through all these pregnant women at a very fast speed, until the entire picture suddenly turns black.
"About fifteen minutes ago, the First Hospital of Humanity conducted a major physical examination on the pregnant women currently in the hospital. At the same time, two pregnant women just gave birth to babies..."
"stillbirth!"
"deformity!"
"abortion!"
"Brainless!"
"Degenerate!"
Lu Yuanming roared word by word. At the end, he slapped the lecture table with red eyes, smashing most of the lecture table into pieces. Even so, he was still furious: "Today, at least There are over a million unborn babies that are gone! They haven't even seen this world for the first time, you know? At the same time, we randomly selected thirty pregnant women and found that they were genetically sterilized. ...The aliens who are nine point seven light years away are already attacking us, and they are exterminating us!!"
Lu Yuanming's roar resounded throughout the conference room, and everyone in the audience was stunned by this sudden change.
But there are still a small number of people who are unwilling or dare not resist. One person from the think tank group said: "But that is a second-level cosmic civilization. Compared with them, we are not even as good as the Indians back then... "
"if not!?"
Lu Yuanming's senses were very sharp. He easily heard the little whisper, and immediately looked over with red eyes. The person who had just spoken was so frightened that the person who just spoke fell to the ground.
"Otherwise? Surrender? Then leave the fate of us humans to be decided by the other party? Should we exterminate on the spot, or be locked up in a zoo as an orangutan? Don't tell me the fallacy that higher levels of civilization mean higher morals!!"
Lu Yuanming kicked the remaining half of the lecture table to pieces, and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, now is the time to use your intelligence and talents. I have no doubt about the power of the collective, and I have never doubted that you are human beings. The best of the best, but one thing I want to make clear is that when I just learned that we humans are likely to become extinct, I have treated those women and babies, but all the babies have not been rescued. In other words, these babies are not I can't change these babies back after being 'injured'. At the same time, I don't know if my treatment will be useful for those women, because since the babies didn't die because of the 'injury', then it's very likely that these women didn't die because of 'injury'. Sterilized for 'harm', so you understand?"
"If you don't understand, then let me put it more simply... If we run away now, regardless of whether we can escape a few light years, dozens of light years, or hundreds of light years away, just escape from this place. The attack range of the second-level cosmic civilization. Regardless of whether we can do this, I want to ask one thing. Can you guarantee that my cure will be effective on women? Can their sterilization be cured? If not Cure, then does our escape mean the annihilation of humanity in the future?”
At this point, Lu Yuanming put away his angry expression and said solemnly: "Now, I want to exercise my power as the decider."
"Everyone, you will tell me how to defeat this second-level cosmic civilization. You can use all your cards and means, including letting me die with the enemy. I even allow you to use everything including turning gears!"
"In addition, from now on, those who escape or surrender will be executed as human traitors, and their names and identities will be disclosed to all mankind. At the same time, I have decided to build a kneeling hall opposite the Human Heroes Monument. , called the Hall of Human Traitors, I swear that I will write down all the people who were executed because of their status as human traitors, restore their statues one by one, and kneel in it, so that all mankind and our descendants can spit on them. !!”
"above!"
