Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

"First, it is impossible for a reinforced concrete structure to withstand traveling around the universe."

Doubts arose as expected, coming from another powerful official named Anseflor Berrena Quinn, who has dual backgrounds in the military and the royal family. It stands to reason that [Quinn] clearly has a royal background. The name of the background should not be on the list of administrators of the Starlink Colony Space Station, but this person just came in, and I don’t know what kind of tricks he used behind the scenes.

The thermal weapons of the entire STR-56 space city are basically responsible for Ansefulo Quinn, so he has a very important voice on this round table——

When he begins to speak, others must wait for him to finish and must weigh his words carefully before questioning his words.

"Second, even if we ignore cosmic rays and various extreme environments in the universe, there is no such gravitational structure that can sustain the cosmic travel of this fragment of a house."

Ansefolo pointed at the director's nose and said:
"Third, please take a pen and calculate for me. According to the scope of the universe caused by the Big Bang as measured by scientists like you, how many light years would it take for such a thing to go around in one circle according to the angle in your picture? ——I tell you very clearly, no matter how much you calculate, human beings cannot exist for that long. It is impossible for a civilization to launch such a thing and then calculate it to return after light years. .”

"Fourth, Master, you drew the star map of the empire. Please explain to me how such a thing could appear. It circled the entire universe, ignoring all kinds of gravity and a large number of debris. Stoneland, the final return?”

His thinking was obviously very clear, which made everyone here realize one thing - the protection of the imperial military was fast and effective enough in this disaster. This is why this gentleman has such sufficient confidence to question William Master. s reason.

The director calmly listened to what this man said from beginning to end. After that, he did not even explain these questions. He just said in the same arrogant manner:
"You don't understand. Even if I explain it, you won't accept it, right? Lord Quinn, I remember that you voted against the [Salommel shutdown], so I can know your heart. Furious and extremely elated, you can now continue your wish."

Under the astonished gazes of others and the increasingly gloomy gaze of Anseflor Bellrina Quin, the director spoke eloquently:

"Since you asked, let me make it clear to everyone present that the seemingly absurd [reinforced concrete house fragments] are not what you see at all - the disaster itself caused by the arrival of that thing is not It's meaningless - it looks like a disaster, it looks like a lot of people died, it looks like it destroyed a lot of infrastructure, but that's not really what it's about - it's not just a disaster.

Underneath the blood and fire you see, there is a key message it conveys to us, and that is its essence:
The disasters we face do not come from gods, but from humans themselves.

In other words - [Apocalypse is not a natural disaster sent by God, but the self-destruction of mankind]. "

His anti-human speech almost stunned everyone else present:

"This fragment of a reinforced concrete house and the significance of this disaster are nothing more than that."

He was interrupted by Ansefro with a calm roughness:

"Master, do you know what you are talking about?"

Anseflor Berrina Quin frowned. He was shocked by the director's words and at the same time felt unspeakable anger in his heart. Is this what a scientific researcher can say?

I'm afraid that what any cult member would say would be more logical and humane than the director's outrageous remarks!
After listening to the director's words, Ansefolo quickly thought of the tragic situation of the STR-56 space city today. He thought of the casualties he had seen along the way and the broken parts of the space city in the vacuum, and he suddenly became angry:

"Master! What are you crazy about?"

The director stopped talking, and his eyes became as bland as dead water, which meant that he had given up communicating. Everyone here who had worked with him could see this except Anseflor.

The director closed his mouth. Anseflor was very satisfied and said in a deep voice:

"Chief Engineer Laoye, please report the loss this time."

Professor Lauye is the only surviving chief engineer of Stavo Heavy Industries. Even if he is not responsible for the operation and maintenance of the base, at this critical moment when human resources are extremely scarce, he can only do these things and answer these questions.

——This is why Ansefolo does not use the title "Professor" to call him.

"Of the 56 completed floors of the STR-365 space city, 312 have been damaged, of which 13 are repairable and the rest are almost completely irreparable."

"The upper warehouse reserve area was burned down, and the remaining supplies are still being accounted for."

“In order to prevent the [Dark Zone] from coming again, we urgently repaired the [Lighthouses] in the remaining 53-story cities. We will prioritize maintaining the energy supply of these [Lighthouses] to ensure that the [Dark Zone] will not immediately destroy the [Lighthouses]. ] Areas that cannot function properly will be covered immediately.”

"Before this meeting, I organized the remaining engineering teams and some of the extraordinary people to enter the dangerous areas that were still burning, carry out emergency repairs on the energy facilities that could be repaired, and cut off other areas from entering the remaining areas. The passage of the 53-story city to isolate hidden dangers from the 53-story city."

"In the engineering department, we have lost most of the units. The remaining people are enough to perform daily maintenance on the remaining 53rd floor area, but outward expansion is impossible, and it is unrealistic to continue the previous construction. Now we cannot determine The radiation value of the outside world makes space operations impossible to take risks.”

The heart-wrenching loss made the atmosphere eerily quiet.

Professor Lauye's voice was quite calm:

"The 7200th floor under construction in Xiacheng District was the impact area and was completely burned. Only 1356 of the 2 engineering teams remained."

"We are unable to get in touch with the area below the 7200th floor. There is only the skeleton of the space city there, and the construction has not started. As the person in charge, Charles Archimonde is out of contact. We can't get it until the network is restored. His news.”

Professor Lauye looked at the director:
"Lord Master, we must repair the part of the [Lighthouse] that is used as a transit as soon as possible, connect to the Empire's Internet as soon as possible, and find a way to obtain assistance from the Empire - if we can get assistance as soon as possible, with manpower and material resources, we can at least be in time. Stop the loss and keep the remaining part of the STR-56 space station - this part is the central core of the space station. The server stores a large amount of data on starry sky surveying and mapping, and is the most valuable asset besides the space station itself."

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, the director said expressionlessly:
"It's impossible. The [Lighthouse] is wireless in the real world because its cables are hidden in the wilderness. This disaster not only burned the real world, but also destroyed the wilderness together - I'm afraid you don't know, An invisible fire has been ignited in the wilderness. I have tried to send people to the wilderness to perform emergency cable repairs, but no one has sent back any information - in the wilderness, losing contact means death.

Previous generations have told us that disaster is coming, and I have decided to stop all work activities of Red Moon Star Technology in the wilderness. "

Under such a firm refusal, the atmosphere around the round table almost dropped to freezing point.

Anseflor tried his best to restrain his emotions, lowered his posture, and said in a deep voice:
"Master, think of a way, these are extraordinary times..."

The director said without hesitation:
"No problem, you give me the two execution teams of your mobile troops. No matter life or death, I will find a way to get the [Lighthouse] online as soon as possible from the Empire Internet."

This sentence suddenly hit Anseflor’s pain point:

Fuck you, Master, I still have three teams left in total. What do you want two of them for?Thinking the opposite?
Although Ansefro thought so, he could not say that. Now that he could not contact the empire, he had to hold on tightly to the "righteousness of the empire" in order to maintain his nominal "right to rule."Those who can enter this room are all high-ranking people. They have reached their current position, not only because of their achievements, but also because of their background and extremely high ZZ sensitivity.

At this moment, even if they didn't go to see Anseflor, they just listened to what the director said, and they knew that this was impossible - it was possible to repair the lighthouse, but it was absolutely impossible to hand over two execution teams to repair the lighthouse. .

Anseflor tried his best to avoid swaying public opinion in a direction that was not favorable to him, so he immediately dropped the topic, turned to one of the people present, and asked:

"Charles, controllable nuclear fusion reactor..."

As expected, everyone was immediately attracted by this topic, and no one paid any attention to the proposal just made by the director.

The official named Charles did not speak. He stood up, took off his hat, and bowed to everyone present:
"sorry."

The atmosphere was depressing in vain.

"The explosion has been controlled, but it is impossible to prevent the spread of radiation. We are now all in a strong radiation area."

Deathly silence.

The voice that sounded at an inappropriate time was still the director’s voice:
"I can help contact Baron Weiss. As long as they can afford it, they can transport the entire medical station over and carry out intelligent transformation for everyone here."

Everyone present was not satisfied with this solution. Unexpectedly, the indifference in the director's tone actually made the atmosphere more relaxed. The "no big deal" implicit in his words broke the dead silence, which also made other people feel relaxed. People feel better.

Ansefro didn't answer, and "silence" meant "rejection"—which meant that the adults around the round table were at an impasse.

In the stiff atmosphere, the adults did not do anything. They took out cigars, and the entire dark conference room was quickly filled with the pungent smell of smoke.

Professor Lauye secretly glanced at the director and found that the director's expression was dull and did not respond to the pungent smell, which meant that the director here was not his true form.

No one else continued to speak. They each had their own thoughts. Their identities, interests, views on the future, and many other conditions all affected their thinking. Many things they could do before could not be done now. Many of the chips that can be paid cannot be paid now. If the empire can be contacted, everything will be fine. But if the empire cannot be contacted, the remaining 56 floors of the STR-53 space city will become the empire itself...

Besides, [Apocalypse] has already arrived, who knows what the situation is like on the surface of the earth?

In fact, everyone has an unspeakable thought in their hearts——

Since [Apocalypse] has really come, is the surface still there now?

No one can give the answer, they have lost contact with the surface, and no one knows the situation on the surface.

Regardless of whether the surface is still there, the security level of the Starlink colony is higher - this is the meaning of building the Starlink colony in the first place.

A strange idea lingers in everyone's heart - if the surface of the earth is really gone, then Starlink represents the last human civilization. Among the Starlink colonies, it has the largest construction scale, the highest parameter specifications, the most comprehensive departments, and the largest population. Will the space city with the most STR-56 become the new... imperial capital?
No one dared to express this idea.

The cigars were smoked one by one, and everyone was chatting. Suddenly, an idea was born from the chat:

"Since we are temporarily helpless about the situation and can only abandon the burned-out part of the city, can we think of a way in another direction?"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke.

The man said:

"If I remember correctly, the construction site of Salomair is on the STR-430 Starlink Colony. We still have many ships that can be used. It is better to find a way to contact STR-430 and restart the construction of Salomair. It’s better than waiting here to die.”

Another person immediately expressed a different opinion:

"I don't think it's possible. Our [Lighthouse] has not been repaired yet. If we leave the port rashly, we will easily be involved in the [Dark Zone] turbulence. We cannot afford the loss now, and we must make a decision after measuring it."

The debate continues:

"The measurement of the [Dark Zone] also requires manpower. We haven't finished the personnel statistics yet. Where can you find the measurer?"

"In your opinion?"

"It's better to use some other methods to ensure that the remaining people can survive the radiation first, and then consider other things - when the controllable nuclear fusion reactor was built, the default radiation range was three STR-56 core areas. Big, we are basically in the radiation center area now, just watch, radiation sickness is coming soon."

"How can we avoid radiation? We can only ask Master to contact Baron Weiss. Have we all become brain robots?"

"Ask Mast."

Director: "I just contacted you, but I can't get in touch. Their [Lighthouse] is offline."

debate:

"I have a suggestion - just a suggestion. We can temporarily use the power of the evil god to suppress the radiation in the body - at least we can coexist with the radiation, survive first, and then talk about other things."

"You mean the Spring God Secret Order?"

"Yes."
