187 2 minutes

This video conference is over.The sky finally brightened.Lu Ming opened the curtains to let the light of the rising sun shine into the room, and he felt the warmth from the sun.

The weather in early autumn is relatively hot at noon.But now in the morning, it is neither hot nor cold, which is the most comfortable time.

Lu Ming ordered a breakfast and asked the waiter to deliver it directly to the room. He ate it in a leisurely manner while bathing in the morning sun.Afterwards, Lu Ming sat on the sofa, facing the rising sun, facing the rows of high-rise buildings outside the window, looking at the white clouds in the blue sky, and fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about what kind of judgment he should make.Which kind of judgment is the most beneficial to the human world, and which kind of judgment can avoid the loss of the human world to the greatest extent.

This is a difficult judgment to make.Lu Ming didn't even know where to start.

The doomsday organization is the only source of doomsday prophecies, and also the only guarantee of authenticity.But it has become impossible to obtain further information from the doomsday organization in the near future.

Except for all the observation forces of the doomsday organization, they all denied the possibility of the asteroid hitting the earth.

Between the two, the directions are diametrically opposite.Moreover, information acquisition has reached its limit.

——So many astronomical observation forces have been invested in the search for the possible asteroid, but the result is that such an asteroid cannot be found. What else can we do?

One positive and the other negative, two completely different possibilities are intertwined in Lu Ming's mind.

He just leaned on the sofa and meditated, motionless.The golden sun shone down on him, making him look like a statue.

At this moment, in the video conference room without Lu Ming, the three of Zhang Dingshan are still online.

"What kind of judgment will Lu Ming make? Will his judgment be correct?"

After a long silence, Lu Qingliang murmured this question.

No one answered him.

He Wei shook her head: "Forget it. It's useless for us to continue the meeting. Let's go, I'll go eat something, maybe I won't be able to eat it in the future."

He Wei exited the video conference room.Lu Qingliang also left in silence.Zhang Dingshan was the only one left in the conference room.

It's morning time.At this moment, in the city where He Wei is located, a breakfast called "Hu spicy soup" is popular.Locals often drink a bowl in the morning to start a day of work and life refreshed.

When she was away from home, He Wei also tried to buy semi-finished Hu spicy soup online and then process it herself, but she always felt that she could not make that taste.

This kind of thing still has to be eaten at the place of origin.

After tidying up briefly, He Wei went out, and came to a small alley with ease.There is a small store with a simple door, and the hygiene does not look very good.Most of the customers who come here are dressed casually, and the bustling room is full of life.

After buying a bowl, He Wei drank it seriously, and when she left the shop, she couldn't help but look back, as if she wanted to keep all this in her heart.

"Well, it would be great if this case wasn't picked up by our second team."

She thought this way: "I don't know the end of the world, and we are facing the final moment in ignorance. At least during this period, we can enjoy life without worry. Now it's all right, and I can't even live the last period of peace. "

This is a doomsday situation.If the doomsday is false, it would be even more wronged, and the fear for so long was in vain.

Anyway, it's better not to know.

At this moment, although Lu Qingliang, who was in the headquarters, also exited the video conference room, he did not leave the computer.

He sat in his seat, also in deep thought.

Flight crash, doomsday organization, Ark base, Sun Lide, soybean mutation blight, blackout, earthquake...

The nouns circled and collided in his mind, making his head slightly dizzy.

After a long time, he sighed and stopped thinking.

He has confirmed that he cannot draw any conclusions from these numerous clues and details.

"Lu Ming is much smarter than me, he should be able to find the correct answer. Should be able to...?"

He left the conference room with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Qingliang, what's the matter? Are you in a bad mood?"

Seeing Lu Qingliang's sullen face, Lao Zhang from the finance department smiled and said hello.Lu Qingliang forced a smile, shook his head, and left without saying a word.

"Tsk tsk, this Qingliang, I don't know what's on his mind. If the little girls in Corey see it, they will be so heartbroken."

……

another city.Zhang Dingshan was still sitting in his seat, looking at the three windows that had turned black in the video conference room, and remained silent for a long time.

There are four windows in the meeting room.But at this moment, only his own figure is still displayed in his own window.

He just sat and watched like this, as if he was waiting for something, or just in a daze.

The window of the video conference room flickered.His pupils narrowed slightly.After seeing clearly that the person who landed in the conference room was He Wei, his pupils loosened slightly.

"Captain, are you still there?"

"Just here."

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just here to take a look. Um... I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to go back to sleep, and you can take a rest too."

"it is good."

He Wei left the conference room again.On the seat, Zhang Dingshan was still sitting quietly, motionless.

The sun gradually moved away from the eastern horizon and gradually moved towards the center of the sky.The warm sunshine gradually began to become venomous, and Lu Ming, who was sitting in front of the window and meditating all the time, began to feel a little hot on his exposed skin.

The air conditioner kicked on, sending cool air into the room, counteracting the heat from the sun.

At this moment, Lu Ming finally made a move.He stretched his body and stood up slowly.

He has to admit that sometimes, when faced with some complicated problems, no matter how hard he tries to think and analyze, he still cannot draw valuable conclusions.

like now.

Long-term thinking failed to help me make a more valuable judgment on this issue.

If you continue to delay, I'm afraid it will only be a waste of time.

Then, there seems to be only one path left to choose from.

The suggestion to Li Wenhua, to the decision-makers, is...

There are no suggestions.

When two choices are placed in front of me, my options are actually not two, but three.

You can choose one, you can choose two, or you can choose neither, just abstain.

Abstaining is also a statement.To abstain from voting is to admit that with one's own ability, one cannot weigh and judge which choice is more beneficial to the human world among the two choices.

My own identity is the direct participant, or the leader, of this incident.And the abstention of the direct participants means that the way to judge this incident from a rational point of view is blocked, and it also means that no valuable suggestions can be obtained from this aspect.

Then, the decision-makers can abandon the influence and weight from the Operation Department and even the Planetary Security Bureau, and only make the final decision based on the benefits and losses of other aspects and intelligence reference.

Strictly speaking, the abstention is still valuable.

Lu Ming returned to the conference table, turned on the computer, and logged into the video conference room.

To his surprise, his three teammates were all in the conference room at the moment.

"Are you all there?"

"Just here."

Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang seemed to have made an appointment, and subconsciously uttered this word at the same time.After that, the three of them froze for a moment, and each glanced at each other.

Lu Ming didn't notice the weirdness in it.

"I've thought about it for a long time, but I can't find any basis to make me lean towards either of these two options."

He sighed: "Our side, I'm afraid we can't give any valuable choices to the higher-ups. I think it's better to abstain."

The eagerness in the eyes of He Wei and Lu Qingliang dimmed instantly.

Although this result had been expected for a long time, when it actually appeared, the two of them still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Perhaps in the past, Lu Ming always found signs of life in desperation, so that he had unrealistic expectations for him, but at this time, he still expected him to find some way...

However, Lu Ming is not a fairy either.

Lu Ming clearly saw the changes in the expressions of He Wei and Lu Qingliang.He felt a little guilty.

He knew very well that this was not his responsibility, and the two of them were definitely not blaming themselves.But he still felt a little guilty, as if he hadn't fulfilled his responsibility.

Zhang Dingshan's expression remained unchanged.

He shook his head slightly: "Lu Ming, don't jump to conclusions in such a hurry. The time given to us by the superior is one day. Now... less than ten hours have passed. Think about it slowly, don't worry."

"But……"

"Lu Ming, no matter what conclusion you come to in the end, this conclusion will be reported to Director Li in the name of our second action team, and Director Li will continue to report it in the name of the entire operation team. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, even if you make a mistake. , This responsibility is definitely not your turn. Be bolder, think more, there is still time, don't worry."

Lu Ming felt a little ashamed.

He understood that the "responsibility" Zhang Dingshan mentioned did not mean that if the judgment was wrong, the superior would punish him.Because in any case, it is absolutely impossible for a superior to punish a subordinate for such a matter.

If even this has to be punished, who will dare to make judgments based on their own thinking in the future?
The responsibility here is actually a conscience and a psychological responsibility.

A large-scale mobilization, a small-scale mobilization, the gap between the two is too great.It would not be an exaggeration to say that thousands of households and lives of countless people were involved.Once the judgment is wrong, even if there is no punishment, the person who made the judgment will bear the condemnation of his own conscience after seeing countless families destroyed.

"No matter what the responsibility is, it is not your own. We believed in your judgment, Li Chu believed in the judgment of our second team, the Planetary Security Bureau believed in Li Chu's judgment, and the decision-makers believed in the Planetary Security Bureau's judgment... we Everyone is responsible.

Whatever the consequences, we all bear it together. "

Zhang Dingshan's tone was calm, but his words seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

"Now, all we need is to use your wisdom and ability to point us to a path that is more likely to be correct. It is more likely to be correct, not absolutely correct."

Lu Qingliang clapped his hands violently: "Yes, Lu Ming, we all believe in you, you can do it!"

There was also a smile on He Wei's face: "Don't worry about Lu Ming, there is still time anyway, so you should think about it again, even if you still abstain in the end, it doesn't matter, right?"

Lu Ming was slightly moved in his heart.

"Okay. I'll do my best."

"Go."

Lu Ming once again exited the video conference room.This time, instead of sitting down, he started walking back and forth in the not-so-spacious hotel room.

Walk from the door to the window, and then back to the door from the window, back and forth constantly.His brain was once again immersed in that undivided and single-minded state.

The sun gradually began to slide towards the west from the middle of the sky.The dazzling light also began to soften again, and finally became dim.

In the city, neon lights began to light up.night came.

Lu Ming sat on the sofa again, staring at the night scene in a daze.

In the sky of the city, there are no stars to be seen, only a few bright stars hanging in the sky.His eyes focused on a bright star.

That's Jupiter.

At this moment, after thinking for a long time, but finally getting nothing, his brain is extremely tired, and he can hardly think any more effectively.His mind was relaxed at the moment, not actively thinking about anything, just looking at the star.

Perhaps it was the longing for the starry sky that made him create a picture in his mind.He seemed to see the surroundings of the gigantic Jupiter, dozens of huge satellites revolving around it in a seemingly chaotic but orderly manner, and he seemed to see farther away, in the Kuiper belt, many asteroids were quietly orbiting, and then In the distance, I saw the Oort cloud again, saw the two and three stars of the South Gate, saw countless huge shining stars, saw the entire Milky Way, and saw the entire universe.

Countless planets, big or small, bright or dark, warm or calm, together make up this huge chaotic system.

The microcosm is full of chaos and randomness.The macroscopic world is approximately orderly in a short period of time, but it is also chaotic and random in the long run.

Chaos and randomness are the essence of the universe.The so-called order is just an illusion.

In this trance, Lu Ming suddenly remembered something.An inspiration is like a star that has just been conceived by a huge gas cloud, slowly lighting up in Lu Ming's chaotic thinking universe.

He stood up in an instant, walked to the computer in a few steps, and pulled out some information.

The Hongwei earthquake predicted by the Son of God was at [-]:[-] p.m. on October [-]th.

but……

The earthquake that occurred in the real world happened at [-]:[-] pm on October [-]th.

There is a difference of 2 minutes between the two.
