I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 48 Dilemma
"Professor Xu Hua, you can sit here...other professors move forward and sit down if there is space."

After receiving Xu Hua and other professors, the person who came over said again,

With one hand still holding the visitor's arm, Xu Hua stretched out the other hand, groping forward cautiously,

He felt something like smooth wood,
He moved his hand to the side, and probably figured out that it was the edge of a conference table.

One hand grasped the edge of the conference table, while the other groped sideways,

Logically, the seat is next to the conference table,
He moved clumsily and carefully, and after several attempts, he finally touched the back of the seat,
After exploring further down and confirming the position of the seat, Xu Huacai sat down while supporting the edge of the conference table.

While Xu Hua was groping to sit down at the conference table,
This seems to be a meeting room, and there are other noisy sounds,

Someone spoke in a low voice, someone groped and pulled the stool, even Xu Hua seemed to hear that someone seemed to have fallen and fell down with the stool,

When the loud bang sounded, the entire meeting room was suddenly quiet,
Xu Hua's movements froze, and so did the others.

Because I didn't know what happened until the man who fell spoke out,

A group of talents continued their groping and slow movements again,

These rustling movements made Xu Hua relax a little.
Although the various voices were a bit noisy, at least Xu Hua could feel that there were people around him, not that he was facing the darkness alone.

Finally, everyone seemed to sit down.

The rustling noise stopped,

The entire meeting room became very quiet again, no one spoke, no one moved,

The feeling of not being there is inexplicably unsettling.

Xu Hua couldn't help moving the seat, and the sound of the seat moving was heard.

And it seems that other people are the same as him, so the seat moves one after another,
It was a bit noisy, but Xu Hua was relieved.

"... Everyone, I am Qin Anmin."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

It probably came from the front left of Xu Hua, it was the same voice in the radio speech earlier,
This is the head of the country.

Xu Hua turned his head in that direction.

He didn't know whether his eyes were pointing in that direction, and all he had in front of him was the darkness after being blind.

He didn't even know the Führer seemed to be there,

Maybe just a device for broadcasting or calling?
"Here I am, in this conference room."

As if he could guess what everyone was thinking, the head of state's voice sounded again.

The meeting room was still quiet, no one made a sound, but someone moved the seat occasionally.

"Everyone should already know the purpose of coming here."

"We have lost our light, we have lost our sight. Including me, including many people, according to the information we have now, it should be everyone."

"...the whole world went blind overnight."

After the words of the head of state fell, the entire meeting room became quieter, and even the movement of the stools disappeared.

"Everyone?"

Someone murmured, the voice was very clear in this deadly quiet room,
"Yes. All. All of us have lost our visual perception."

"You are all experts in various fields, and you can be said to be the most intelligent people in the world. I have called you here because I want to know what happened...and what should we do."

The Führer's voice came from the front again,
spread to the ears of all present.

In the conference room, there was a bit of silence, dead silence, and depression.

Xu Hua faced the darkness in front of him,
It seemed that someone was faintly sighing in his ears, and it was more than one person.

After hearing the news, the experts here have already imagined what will happen in the future.

And Xu Hua, who got this information in advance, already knew why this meeting called him, who studies astrophysics and cosmic physics, to come.

All human beings are blinded at the same time,

can cause this
The possibility of disease is very small,

Even if it is a virus that spreads all over the world in a short period of time,
It is also unlikely to be born naturally.

That may have been very little.

Natural disasters?

What happened to this universe?
Man-made disaster?

A powerful alien civilization is conducting an experiment?
"...We have obtained some information, and now we are sharing it with you, hoping that you can come up with some ideas."

It seemed that the head of state was also silent for a while, and finally said this.

follow closely,

The direction from which the voice came from changed its position, and the voice of the voice also changed.

"I'm Qian Zhenhua, a researcher in ophthalmology at the Capital Hospital."

This is the voice of a somewhat old and tired old man,

Xu Hua had a slight impression of this professor of ophthalmology, he seemed to be a famous professor of ophthalmology.

"After the incident, we used instruments to do some tests on our eyes."

"The conclusion is that there should be no lesions and changes in our eyeballs. Our eyes or visual system are still normal, but unfortunately, we just can't see."

"...It's just a pity that this conclusion is made by the latest detection AI, which is the conclusion drawn by the instrument itself. We are also blind, and it is difficult to observe the eyeball itself."

“…that’s the information we can provide, and that’s why some of you professors who don’t seem to be in areas of research relevant to this question are here.”

After the professor of ophthalmology finished speaking about the information on the human eye and visual system, he sat down again.

"...Besides, the light is still there. Even the sun is still there."

"...It's still morning, and the capital is sunny today. When everyone came out of the building just now, you should still be able to feel the presence of sunlight."

Another professor stood up to expound a message.

Immediately afterwards, the entire conference room fell into silence again.

Xu Hua was also silent, the darkness in front of him made him unconsciously put his hand on the conference table,

I want to touch something with my hands and feel the surrounding environment.

"...Guys, this is the situation we're facing right now. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with our eyes, and the light seems to be there. But we're blind, and all of humanity is blind."

"... Please, everyone in the conference room, and all the experts and professors who participated in this meeting by phone, please tell us what may have happened to us."

The voice of the head of state sounded again.

But there was no sound in the conference room.

"If there is no problem with the eyeballs, then is there something wrong with the visual nerves, or even the brain's processing of images?"

It took a long time before someone asked.

"...I can't be sure. Originally, we didn't know enough about the human brain, but now, we can't use many detection methods. Observation, detection... requires the use of eyes."

A professor of medicine seemed to answer this sentence,

"... Then we assume that there is no problem with our visual system, and the light is still propagating normally. Could it be a natural disaster, a tiny physical constant has changed?"

"...or other civilizations... the fact that everyone in the entire world is blind is obviously not something that human power can do!"

"...What's the use of making these guesses! If it's an alien civilization! An alien civilization that can achieve this level is simply crushing our technology. What can we do?"

"...And if such a tiny physical constant changes, we have no way to detect such a tiny physical constant change. We couldn't detect it before, and it's even more impossible now!"

Probably because of this disaster, and the loss of my own vision now,

After a discussion among the professors in the conference room, some professors said this a little annoyed.

"Hey……"

Xu Hua also sighed.
