When Zhao Huasheng heard Wang Tang say those words, he had no reaction at all. Wang Tang paused for a moment, observed Zhao Huasheng's reaction, and then continued: "You know, the Red Heart spacecraft carries the hope of our human civilization to a certain extent. Every second of its observation time is very precious, and we have no capital to waste them."

"I won't go, and I won't say why I do this." Zhao Huasheng shook his head, "But I will meet the head of state and tell the head of state the reason for my doing this. How to make a decision in the future, let the head of state make a decision."

Zhao Huasheng's inference is too amazing. Zhao Huasheng will not publish it until the most important evidence is obtained. Because if it is announced in advance, it will bring many unexpected troubles and may even cause panic.

"If you insist on doing this," Wang Tang shrugged, "But you'd better get faster. Your observation mission is seriously consuming the energy and time of the astronauts. Although they have no complaints, the medical department has warned and protested. They believe that this will have a serious impact on the health of the astronauts."

"I know." Zhao Huasheng nodded, "I have made an appointment tomorrow morning. On tomorrow morning, I will meet the head of state and tell all my reasons and reasons, and there will be no reservation."

"Although I'm curious about your reasons and inferences, I think... you probably won't tell me them. Then that's it, I wish you good luck, young man." Wang Tang patted Zhao Huasheng on the shoulder and turned around and left.

Wang Tang, who was pushing the door and leaving Zhao Huasheng's residence, also let a cold air invade Zhao Huasheng's house. Zhao Huasheng couldn't help but chill.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Even if you stay indoors, Zhao Huasheng had to turn on the heating and air conditioner to the maximum. Even people have measured the latest low temperature record at the equator, which is minus 57 degrees Celsius.

The scientific research robots left by the north and south poles also reported the lowest temperature record in the polar region, and the number was...minus 203 degrees Celsius.

The ocean has been wrapped in thick ice caps, so sea transportation has completely stopped. Obviously, no ship can break the ice caps of such thickness. For today's human society, sea transportation bears at least 40% of the material transportation capacity.

If the supply line is broken, many people in the Equator city will die because of lack of energy. Without energy, there will be no electricity, and there will be no warmth. Factory producing materials necessary for human survival will be shut down, and hundreds of millions of people will die because of freezing and starvation.

But this situation did not happen. Although the sea transportation was forced to stop completely, another mode of transportation quietly emerged. Because the ice cap was extremely thick and extremely strong, large trucks weighing more than 100 tons could also be safely driven on it. The ice surface was smooth, which was comparable to highways. Therefore, people built many observation stations and supply stations on the sea surface, and determined countless ice-surface road routes that could be used for large trucks to safely drive. Oil, coal, steel and other materials produced in various places on the earth continued to come to the Equator city through such lines. The transportation efficiency was even higher than the original sea transportation. Even if it were not for the ice surface, the people from the Engineering Department even planned to lay the railways on the ice cap.

But the ice surface is not a road after all. The invasion of seawater, the movement of the earth's crust, and even the pull of the gravitational pull of the moon may cause the ice surface to rupture. It is too slippery, and trucks driving at high speed are easily accidental. According to statistics from the Ministry of Crisis Prevention, at least a thousand people die on this nutrient artery that supports the entire human society every day. There are many causes of death, including trucks that are out of control, some are crashed and drowned, and some are frozen to death by low temperatures...

But human society is still increasing the transportation volume of goods on ice roads again and again. Because the human government has no other way except to fill in human lives. So far, truck drivers have surpassed non-equatorial left-behind personnel and become the most treated ordinary job in human society.

They supported more than 30% of the energy and material consumption in Equator City. Zhao Huasheng knew this very clearly. Zhao Huasheng knew that a large part of the clothes he wore, food he ate, electrical appliances and heating he used were supported by these people with their lives.

So Zhao Huasheng always felt a sense of urgency in his heart. But this sense of urgency did not spread in human society. The next morning, on the road to the head of state's office, looking at the empty streets, Zhao Huasheng felt that there seemed to be a layer of cloud covering the Equator city. The name of the layer of cloud was called despair, and numbness.

Zhao Huasheng clearly felt this. Since the last large-scale riot, there has been no more major unrest in human society. People just live numbly, work numbly, and rest numbly.

Although turmoil is cruel, it also means people's urgent desire for a better life and their own interests. Now, there is no turmoil in human society.

The lifelessness is like a pool of stagnant water.

It has been more than half a year since the outbreak of the solar crisis. In this half year, the surface temperature of the sun has dropped from 6,000 Kelvin to 4,500 Kelvin, a total of 25%. And no one knows whether the sun's temperature will continue to drop.

"In this cold, people are already desperate," said Meng Zhuo. "They don't see the hope of the future, nor do they know what they are still alive. The reason why the order in human society has not collapsed is probably because the government and violent institutions still exist, and the minimum living standards can still be guaranteed. I bet that as long as the convoys traveling across the Pacific and Atlantic disappear for a day, the order in the Equator city will collapse instantly."

"This is the worst case." Zhao Huasheng said softly. But Meng Zhuo obviously did not hear the implicit meaning of Zhao Huasheng's words. He was still driving quietly and dragging Zhao Huasheng to the location of the head of state's office.

The car drove directly into the parking lot, and then Zhao Huasheng took the elevator to an office before he arrived. Meng Zhuo was waiting outside the door, while Zhao Huasheng pushed open the door and walked in. In the office, the old man was already waiting there.

Zhao Huasheng gently closed the door, so no sound in the office would be transmitted outside the door.

Only these two people knew what Zhao Huasheng said to the old man. When Zhao Huasheng opened the door of the head of state office and walked out, Meng Zhuo looked at his watch and found that only twenty minutes had passed. Through the temporarily opened crack of the door, Meng Zhuo saw the old man's face.

On the thin and wrinkled old face was a slightly strange expression, which seemed to be sad and angry, but it didn't look very similar. After searching hard in my mind for a while, Meng Zhuo found the most suitable words to describe this expression, confused.

That is the entire human civilization, a total of seven billion - of course, the number has now dropped to 6.2 billion, and it is still rapidly decreasing - the leader of human beings. Meng Zhuo could not deny the ability of this old man. It was under his powerful leadership that even if human civilization was in such a crisis, it could still maintain basic living security without collapse. Without him, the number of deaths in human society would not have been only 800 million.

Meng Zhuo and the old man have been together for a long time. In fact, before coming to Zhao Huasheng, Meng Zhuo had been serving as the old man's personal guard for four consecutive years. Meng Zhuo thought he knew this old man very well. Meng Zhuo had seen the old man make many decisions. Every word of those decisions could affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people, but the old man always looked calm and confident. It seemed that any danger and any suffering would not affect him. He could always find the optimal solution to any problem in the shortest time. Such a confusion should not appear on his face.

But now, the old man is just confused, and the deepest confusion. That kind of confusion is even more confusion than the numbest, ignorant, and hopeless social groups that Meng Zhuo has ever seen.

Zhao Huasheng's expression was always calm. After walking out of the old man's office and taking the door, Zhao Huasheng whispered to Meng Zhuo: "Let's go, let's go back."

Even with Meng Zhuo's professional qualities, he couldn't help but feel curious. For the first time, Meng Zhuo asked: "What did you say to the Head of State? What was the head of state's answer?"

"The Head of State agreed to continue the observation operation on the Red Heart spacecraft." Zhao Huasheng said softly, "As for what happened... if I had not made any mistakes in speculation, you will know soon. Not only you, but the entire human civilization will know."

When that question was just asked, Meng Zhuo noticed his own misunderstanding. But at this moment, Zhao Huasheng's answer made Meng Zhuo unable to help but ask the second question: "The Head of State decided to announce the truth of the Sun Crisis to the whole society?"

Zhao Huasheng replied lightly: "Yes. If my speculation is really verified, the head of state will decide to announce my speculation results."

"Why? Isn't the Head of State worried about causing chaos?" Meng Zhuo asked again.
