doomsday exile

Mars research station.

Knowing that the earth was about to break out in a nuclear war, Professor Alvin accidentally dropped his coffee cup.

The reactions of others were also great. Dr. Kang even showed symptoms of hyperventilation. He quickly grabbed his clothes to cover his head, mouth and nose, and struggled to make self-rescue adjustments.

"Everyone, the countries that are currently unfortunate enough to be attacked by nuclear weapons do not include the homeland of the Mars personnel."

Only when Yan Long spoke at the right time did he manage to ease the atmosphere.

"Ah, I also know that the earth is not so prone to fall into the crisis of nuclear war, it's just..."

Professor Alvin looked at the coffee stains on his hands and clothes with a bitter expression.

Everyone looked at each other and found that everyone had the same wry smile on their faces.

——Do you dare to bet on the brains of your politicians?

——Do you dare to bet on the brains of a politician from a certain country who is hostile to your family?

Thank you, I dare not.

Some people don't dare to do one, and some people don't dare to do both.

The seemingly stupid actions of politicians are actually full of a set of self-contained logic calculations.

It's like a balance, on one side there are self-interests, political and business family reputation, money and power, and on the other tray are life, human civilization, the future of the country, etc., and this balance will always only go up. One side.

If disaster relief costs more than rebuilding, rebuild right away.

If it is necessary to spend an extra sum of money to ensure the safety of the people, and the probability of danger is 90.00%, they will kill that percent and make a lot of publicity, and they will not pay.

And in this complicated weighing process, the chip marked as the lightest and most insignificant is human life.

Even in this desperate situation, the high-level officials of certain countries who have caused problems with mushroom bombs will not feel overwhelmed.

There are subordinates who are responsible for taking the blame, and ordinary people who suffer the enemy's retaliation. They and their families are in very safe underground shelters. As long as you deal with a group of people and make some gestures of regret, you can fool them.

Even in order not to start a nuclear war, the Earth Federation and other major powers dare not force them excessively.

As for the usual economic blockades, sanctions, tariffs, etc., they are completely useless in terms of the current fragmented global environment.

"...Chairman Sinsack must have been hit hard." Professor Alvin sighed.

Chancellor Shinsak, who devoted his life to making all mankind unite to deal with the crisis and pioneered the interstellar era, suffered an unprecedented blow to his political views.

After this crisis is over, it is estimated that the "union faction" within the Federation will completely lose power, and members of the faction of Speaker Sinsaco will withdraw one after another, switch to other factions or seek other political ideas and ideals.

What, if you can't survive the crisis?

What else is there to say.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to attack Mr. Raiden's country, but I think..."

Doctor Kang came to his senses, and he raised his hand weakly, "Why is there no nuclear bomb flying towards the United States, I thought there was at least one."

At the other end of the video conference, Leiden, the person in charge of the American Mars Research Station, looked bewildered.

"Uh, this question." Professor Alvin twisted the bridge of his nose to refresh himself, and said helplessly, "Kangke, you should think about the distance between the countries where the accident occurred and the Americas."

In other words, it is not that the bald eagle is successful as a human being, but that the bald eagle has a good geographical location.

Knowing that the United States' homeland defense and interception system is powerful, the distance is still very far. Even if the imaginary enemy is considered, it will not use the old mushroom warhead, but a newer launch system with higher security and stricter inspection links.

Leiden said angrily: "Kangke, you are too much."

Dr. Kang spread his hands and turned his head to look around. It was obvious that he had a straight-talking personality.

"It's really not that I'm biased, I promise it's a common, very common question."

Huaxia was attacked by two mushroom bombs, and Russia was attacked by one. As a result, the bald eagle didn't even use the interception system?Outrageous!

"...Well, I guarantee that some countries are targeting the United States, but there is no problem." Leiden murmured, and then said very frustrated, "Although there is no nuclear attack, the situation in the American continent is really serious. Terrible."

The Yellowstone volcano erupted violently, and more than half of the country was covered in thick volcanic ash.

Viewed from Mars with a high-power astronomical telescope, the outline of the American continent cannot be seen at all.

Coupled with the continuous activity of the San Andreas fault, it may split part of the land from the American continent. This is a long process, ranging from hundreds of years to tens of thousands of years. How many lives can survive this catastrophe.

"Our family is in a shelter in Houston, just contacted last week, and they're still alive... But I have some space agency colleagues and friends who were abducted on the Statue of Liberty, and the whole planet has nothing to do with it. There is no way."

Leiden held his head and couldn't help growling in a low voice.

They didn't even dare to send a signal to the lost spacecraft.

Because they want to guard Mars and the only extraterrestrial base for human beings.

The atmosphere became gloomy again.

Yan Long did not speak, and silently exited the communication channel.

"Where's Lu Di?"

"In the kitchen." Cao Yan answered with a raised hand.

Yan Long controlled the robot carrier and walked towards the kitchen.

Cao Yan hesitated for a moment, then chased after him and asked, "Are you going back to Earth?"

The robot stopped.

Then Yan Long nodded slightly, left the conference room without saying anything.

Cao Yan looked at Professor He who was standing next to him with a face full of confusion, and said anxiously: "They will definitely deal with that meteorite. There is a spider mecha in the Shangdu base. If more are produced, or improved..."

The more Cao Yan spoke, the more confused he became. He took a deep breath and managed to maintain his composure.

"I mean, there are still a few months to use to enhance their strength, create space warfare carriers and weapons, and finally they will choose to face Yermungandr on the outer edge of the earth, right?"

Professor He nodded silently.

"But why them? Yan Long, Lu Di... and those spirit bodies we haven't seen! Yemengade has fought against the spirit body for many years, and it must know the weakness of the spirit body! The danger is too great! Also, we all know that the Eden space station and the politicians of those countries will say strange things. The spirit body is the object of Yemengard's hatred the most. These things should be held by the spirit body! If they don't rescue the hostages, or don't Resist the meteorite—”

Professor He directly interrupted Cao Yan's words and emphasized: "Then the earth will be over."

Cao Yan: "..."

"You said that the worst-case scenario does not exist. Once human beings fail, there will only be spaceships outside the earth and us on Mars."

Professor He said wearily, "I understand what you want to say, this is the responsibility of all mankind, this is the future of all mankind, there is no reason to put all the pressure and hope on the spiritual body, but things have reached this point, there is no choice gone."

It can only be assisted by humans on the ground, and the spiritual body bears the main combat power.

Professor He sat exhausted on the chair and said in a low voice: "Although I don't want to infer this, the people on the Statue of Liberty spacecraft may not live to that time...everyone can think of this."

Even other spacecraft, as well as the Mars scientific research station, cannot be said to be absolutely safe.

Cao Yan was silent for a minute, then turned on the wrist terminal and sent a message to Yan Long.

***

"What? He said he was willing to move to Shangdu base after the mission to Mars is over?" Lu Di stared at Yan Long's terminal screen, full of doubts.

He doesn't seem to be doing anything today?

Why did he succeed in poaching the wall all of a sudden?

Lu Di frowned and looked at Yan Long: "What did you do?"

"No."

Yan Long explained, "According to the normal procedure, this Mars mission should end after [-] months, and everything should be resolved by then. If it can't be resolved, there will be no Mars scientific expedition personnel returning to Earth." possible."

Lu Di suddenly realized that this was a parting message of "safe journey" and "the earth is safe and sound" in disguise.

"Okay, reply him that I will definitely pick him up at the airport and wait for Yanjing's plane to bring him over—excellent talent, I will ask Professor Xia to find a way to give him a good treatment." Lu Di said solemnly, as if The MLM posture promised by the deputy.

"Let me tell you, he must have taken a fancy to my craftsmanship and wants to come to Shangdu to learn from a master."

Lu Di casually found a reason, and then started talking nonsense, "Maybe I also fell in love with your table tennis skills. I guess not only Cao Yan will come, but there will be a training class for Mars scientific research, go to Mars Come here before applying for space cooking lessons and table tennis skills.”

Yan Long: "..."

No matter, nod directly.

"Well, you have a good point."

Yan Long is checking the solar wind data in the past few days. If there is no accident, they will choose a suitable day to return to Earth in these few days.

"Come on, we have one more thing to do." Yan Long broke away from the carrier and reached out to Lu Di.

"Fusion?" Lu Di clapped his hands to finish the chef's work, and asked strangely, "Where are you going?"

"Remove the shell of the quantum aircraft, except for the main system and related components, disassemble all the other pieces and bring them back to Earth."

Yan Long waited for Lu Di to approach, and then their figures gradually blurred, and rainbow lights formed a floating ball of light.

Lu Di asked subconsciously: "Want to recycle?"

"Almost, the shell material is too expensive to just throw under the Martian sands, including the warp drive that has been scrapped." Yan Long replied seriously, "We will bring a sealed air box later, and remove those. Put in the system instruments and components, make a mark and put them in place, and tie the rest to the back of the Mars rover to bring them back and send them back to Earth.”

"Just us?"

Lu Di asked casually.

"Yes, you can drive now."

The ball of light floated back into the robot carrier, and the robot excitedly clenched its right fist.

In the case of a coach, you can drive the Mars rover without a special driver's license.

"Let's go, collect the waste!" The robot walked out quickly.

All four scientific research stations on Mars heard this tone on the communication channel.

Everyone: "..."

Lu Di went to work in a happy mood.

As for whether or not Yemengard can subdue the spiritual body, is he sure about dealing with such an enemy, hey!Fighting is over, this is a war of survival, if you are fully sure, is it still called a survival counterattack?That's called abuse!

"As for Yermungandr, it is at the same level as wisdom teeth. It is very difficult and difficult to face, but you have to overcome it." Lu Di sighed sighingly.
