Chapter 309 The Biggest Lie
With the joint confirmation of future technology and the space agency, when the asteroid incident was reported, it soon attracted great attention from above, and several major meetings were held overnight.Although no one wants this kind of thing to happen, they can only do their best to deal with it.

In addition, for Xu Lei's decision to hold a global press conference and announce the news on the spot, the above also gave absolute support.

Will actively communicate with global forces to jointly formulate solutions.

And when the news of the press conference got out, many people couldn't help but have a question mark in their minds?
What's the situation?
Is the sun coming out west?

Mainly, everyone knows that Xu Lei has always been relatively low-key on the Internet.

Last time it was a virtual helmet with far-reaching significance, and it was an unprecedented time to be the keynote speaker.

But now there is harmony on the Internet, and Future Technology has not released any new products in the recent period, so how could it suddenly hold a press conference.

Especially if it is global in nature.

This is completely out of character.

As soon as the news appeared on the Internet, it aroused speculation from a large number of netizens.

Some people are so outrageous that Xu Lei may step down as the future technology president and retreat behind the scenes. In short, more and more versions emerged in the end.

But there is no doubt that this sudden press conference for the world is by no means that simple.

Perhaps there is an important event to be announced.

For this reason, domestic mainstream media reporters rushed to Binjiang City one after another. Even the journalists dispatched overseas were like cats smelling of fish, and they had to enter the scene to get first-hand information no matter what they said.

Its popularity is so high that no star can compare with it.

Of course, some people have not forgotten what day is tomorrow. Thinking that Xu Lei will hold such an abnormal global press conference on April Fool's Day, it is a joke he made to people all over the world, although the price of this lie is too high.

"Mr. Xu will not really want to step down as president, choose to retreat behind the scenes!"

"Are you kidding me? Mr. Xu is only in his 30s, how could he retreat behind the scenes at this time."

"It's not impossible. You have to know that in addition to being the future technology boss, Mr. Xu is also the youngest academician. Maybe he plans to become a scientist with peace of mind."

"Mr. Xu, how can I live without you!"

"According to Mr. Xu's personality, I'm afraid things will definitely not be simple if a global press conference is held suddenly at this time."

"Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. I deliberately made this a joke for all of us by Mr. Xu."

"If it was an April Fool's Day joke, then this would be the biggest lie of the century."

"Anyway, this press conference will be broadcast live online. We will know what happened tomorrow."

……

As for the discussion on the Internet, Xu Lei naturally does not have the time and energy to understand it. It is most important to formulate a solution to the asteroid impact disaster as soon as possible when human civilization is in danger.

Fortunately, there is Xingtong, the intelligent brain, who can get the most ideal response method through careful calculation of asteroids.

And the process doesn't require much effort.

The key is to actually implement it, but it is very difficult.

This requires the joint efforts of all mankind to twist the strength into one rope.

The next day.

Two in the afternoon.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park, Binjiang City.

April Fools' Day.

The conference lecture hall in the headquarters building has already been prepared. Dozens of reporters from various news media around the world are gathering here at this time, waiting for Xu Lei's arrival.

At the same time, all the seats in the conference hall are also aimed at the main podium, and the real-time live broadcast is started.

Even before the press conference officially started, the barrage refresh rate in the live broadcast room had already reached its peak.

Everyone is discussing the content of this meeting.

"coming."

"Where is I, Mr. Xu?"

"Front row."

"Who knows why this conference was held?"

"I guess it's an April Fool's event."

"This unprecedented battle, you tell me you are joking?"

"Boss Xu doesn't bother to make such jokes."

"It always feels like something big is going on."

And when everyone was anxiously waiting for the answer, Xu Lei in the background was sitting on a chair, letting Chen Shihe tidy his clothes.

"It's okay, Mr. Xu." Standing beside Xu Lei, Chen Shihe reminded softly, waiting to smooth the last wrinkle with his hands.

Because Chen Shihe has been in charge of the company's business and has not participated in the projects of the research center and research institute, she still doesn't know about the asteroid, and she is not even sure why Xu Lei suddenly held this global press conference meeting.

It's so weird.

Having been with Xu Lei as an assistant for so many years, she thought she knew him well enough, but this incident made her feel a sense of frustration.

But even so, she still didn't ask too much.

"Is it time for the meeting?" Xu Lei stood up and asked casually.

Chen Shihe nodded: "Yes, Mr. Xu."

Hearing the sound, Xu Lei didn't hesitate, and immediately walked towards the stage. As for Li Chengzhe, Gu Sanlin and others who were also staying in the background, they had complicated expressions when they saw this scene.

They know that soon the world will not be peaceful.

Everyone must contribute their own strength to prevent this disaster.

The journalists, who had been waiting for a long time in the conference hall, finally saw Xu Lei appear, and immediately flocked forward to ask all kinds of questions.

Everyone wants to be the first to grasp the first-hand news.

If it weren't for Cheng Fei and other company security personnel around to maintain order, I'm afraid the microphone would poke Xu Lei's face.

"May I ask Mr. Xu for holding this press conference today, is there any decision to announce?"

"Now there are many rumors outside that you will step down as president and retire to the management behind the scenes of the company. Is this true?"

"Mr. Xu, have you ever thought about your lifelong affairs?"

"Hi Mr. Xu, I'm a reporter from Neon Country. What do you think of the online statement that holding a press conference on April Fool's Day is the biggest lie of this century?"

Xu Lei was very clear about his mission today, so he didn't take the noisy environment around him to heart at this time. He paused for more than ten seconds, and waited until the reporters finally regained their composure, and then slowly spoke out. The real purpose of this global press conference.

"As the reporter said, today I hold a global press conference in the name of future technology because there is indeed something to announce, and this matter concerns everyone."

After Xu Lei said that he really had something important to announce, the eyes of every reporter in front of him suddenly lit up, and even the barrage in the live broadcast room disappeared temporarily.

Everyone's eyes were on Xu Lei, wanting to know what was it that allowed Xu Lei to hold a press conference.

"Just ten days ago, we accidentally discovered an asteroid in a high-speed flight near the orbit of Neptune based on the observation data of the Tiangong Space Telescope."

"After calculation and analysis."

"This asteroid originated from the Kuiper belt and was affected by Neptune's gravity to change its orbit."

"Unfortunately, it is flying towards the star."

"According to careful simulation calculations, the diameter of this asteroid is about [-] kilometers. If it is not stopped, it will collide with the Earth and the planet in seven or eight years."

At this point, Xu Lei did not continue to speak, but came to a tactical pause.

After all, to say so much information at once, others need to digest it first.

Originally, in everyone's imagination, what Xu Lei wanted to announce should be related to future technology, but in the end he brought up such a topic about the disaster of all mankind.

Many people didn't react for a while, and were stunned on the spot.

In the live broadcast room, there was almost no barrage refresh, and the world view was strongly impacted.

It took almost half a minute for him to react, and then he started an insane language output.

Although Xu Lei can't see the barrage in the live broadcast room now, the voices of the reporters in the conference hall can still be heard, and they are basically surprised and unbelievable.

I even think that today's press conference is indeed an April Fool's Day joke.

"Asteroids hit the planet, isn't this a plot that only appears in science fiction movies?"

"Could it be Mr. Xu talking about the new movie they invested in?"

"Well, where did the asteroid come from, I knew it must be an April Fool's joke."

"Did I hear correctly just now? An asteroid with a diameter of 6000 kilometers is bigger than the asteroid that caused the extinction of dinosaurs more than [-] million years ago."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"My God, I must have been awake just now."

Hearing everyone's remarks in his heart, Xu Lei's face remained calm all the time, obviously he had guessed that this scene would happen a long time ago.

Human beings are always full of fear of unsolvable disasters, so that they are unwilling to face them.

this is normal.

The key is to build confidence in the public.

Let them know that an asteroid with a diameter of [-] kilometers is not terrible, and human beings have the strength to resolve this crisis.

Then Xu Lei spoke again.

"The current orbit of this asteroid has been confirmed by us and the space agency. This disaster is 100% likely to happen. No one should take chances."

"And this asteroid we have also named it Pluto."

"But you don't need to be nervous. There are still a few years before Pluto reaches Earth. With our current level of technology, as long as all human beings work together, we can resolve this crisis."

At the same time, following Xu Lei's remarks, the three-dimensional scene of the model constructed by Xingtong was also played on the screen of the conference hall.

Let everyone have a clearer understanding of this disaster.

As for Chen Shihe, who stood in the background and paid close attention to Xu Lei, after hearing the news, he subconsciously covered his mouth.

My heart suddenly turned into a monstrous wave.

Never expected that the matter was so serious.

It may be difficult for outsiders to believe everything Xu Lei said, but she firmly believes in it.

Because she knew that Xu Lei would never joke about this kind of thing.

Especially thinking of Xu Lei bearing such a heavy pressure alone during this period, I couldn't help feeling a little sad in my heart.

"Resist the pressure of life and death of all human beings on yourself, Mr. Xu, you must be very hard." He whispered these two words softly to himself, and then his eyes gradually became firm, as if he had made up his mind.

But even though Xu Lei brought out future technology and the space agency to prove the existence of Pluto, many reporters still expressed doubts about this and boldly asked questions.

I don't believe that there will be an asteroid hitting the earth star at all.

"Mr. Xu, the facts about asteroids are unbelievable, so I want to know how you can prove it?"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Lei followed the voice and found that the questioner was a blonde overseas female reporter.

"Your Mandarin is not bad." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he joked, and then replied confidently: "According to our calculations, Pluto will reappear in five days, and observatories in various countries can observe it through telescopes. Everyone will understand that what I say today is true."

After speaking, he turned around and left without staying on the podium.

Only the reporters in chaos remained.

His purpose of holding this press conference is to announce the existence of Pluto to the world. Now that the purpose has been achieved, continuing to talk about it will not have any good results.

On the contrary, it may backfire.

For it is useless for a man who is willing to be ignorant to say anything if he does not believe it.

They must be allowed to discover for themselves.

Before today's meeting was held, Xu Lei had already thought of the possible situation, so he specially asked Xingtong to calculate the time when Pluto could be observed.

Exactly five days later.

By then, when observatories around the world confirm the existence of Pluto, many things will go smoothly.

As for Pluto, it was the name he personally gave the asteroid.

-

No one expected that the press conference that originally attracted global attention would end in just a few minutes, let alone that the content of the conference would be about an asteroid with a diameter of [-] kilometers.

With a large number of news reports circulating on the Internet that day, the whole world fell into an atmosphere of panic.

Overseas forces are even more urgent to demonstrate the existence of Pluto, and all astronomers must closely observe the situation near the orbit of Neptune five days later.

In short, all kinds of remarks are like bamboo shoots after the rain, springing up one after another.

However, compared with overseas mainstream voices questioning this matter, most domestic netizens believe it.

Because many people found that when Xu Lei held a global press conference, all the major TV stations broadcast it in real time, which was even more prestigious than broadcasting the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year.

Everyone is not a fool. Seeing that the officials have achieved this level, it naturally shows that the existence of Pluto is indeed confirmed.

That is to say, one day eight years later, when everyone looks up at the sky, it is very likely that they will see a huge planet hit.

But everyone was not panicked by it.

Instead, he pokes fun at himself online in a humorous tone.

"Our generation has witnessed so much history, even asteroids hit the earth."

"How should I put it, anyway, I believe that future technology can solve this crisis."

"I also absolutely trust Mr. Xu."

"Although the diameter of this asteroid is larger than that of the dinosaurs at that time, you must know that we are a first-level civilization that even has controllable nuclear fusion technology. It is not difficult to solve an asteroid."

"Everyone should eat and drink, anyway, if you really want to come, no one can stop you."

"If you have any regrets, take advantage of the last few years to finish it quickly, maybe by then human civilization will really come to an end."

……

It may be because of the existence of future technology that makes everyone feel very safe.

Thinking that since Xu Lei took the initiative to disclose this news and is sure to lead all mankind to resolve this crisis, it means that the situation is not so bad that it cannot be undone.

What's more, there are still several years before the disaster occurs, so it is completely useless to think too much.

But in order to make Pluto a certainty, we still have to wait five days for the observation results from various forces.

That night.

Longhu Hi-Tech Park.

In the living room of the headquarters building, Xu Lei stood in front of the holographic [-]D screen with a dignified expression, adjusting various data of a model in front of him by himself.

"Xingtong, changing a material requires increasing the quality of the device."

"Continue to increase the number of engines."

"Simulated impact."

The model he built is naturally not a heavy hammer cruiser, but a special kinetic energy weapon.

Facing the menacing Pluto, with an astonishing [-] kilometers in diameter, it would be too difficult to destroy it with nuclear weapons, and it might even have an impact on the environment of the planet Earth.

In this case, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate solution to use kinetic energy weapons to impact Pluto and force it to change its orbit.

According to Xu Lei's plan, the kinetic energy weapon will be launched ahead of schedule at that time, and will eventually collide with Pluto near Jupiter. As long as Pluto's flight orbit changes, it may be captured by Jupiter and become a satellite of Jupiter.

At that time, the crisis of human civilization will be lifted naturally.

In order to knock Pluto, which is [-] kilometers in diameter, out of its original orbit, the kinetic energy weapon must not only have a larger mass, but the most important thing is the power engine.

Fortunately, humans now have the manufacturing technology of interstellar warships, and they can completely apply the nuclear fusion power engine of the heavy hammer cruiser to kinetic energy weapons. According to Xingtong's calculations, as long as ten such kinetic energy weapons are produced, it is enough to hit Hades The star makes it deviate from its own orbit.

But because the models of kinetic energy weapons have just been built, and some are still in theory, it may take some time to actually start manufacturing.

That is to say, Xu Lei has detailed interstellar warship manufacturing technology in his mind, which helped him greatly shorten the design process of kinetic energy weapons, otherwise humans would definitely spend a lot of time on this matter.

In any case, there are at most eight years left for human beings, and there must be no waste.

It's just that the Future Science and Technology Nuclear Fusion Research Institute is responsible for the manufacture of heavy hammer cruisers. If it undertakes the manufacture of ten kinetic energy weapons, it may be overloaded, and eventually it will not be completed within the specified time.

The main eggs must never be put in the same basket, and it is even more impossible to pin all the future of human civilization on kinetic energy weapons.

So work on the Hammer Cruiser cannot be stopped.

If something happens to the kinetic energy weapon, the heavy hammer cruiser with extremely strong combat effectiveness will become the trump card to ensure the continuation of human civilization.

Even if there are many preparations, I am afraid that even the dormant cabin will have to be taken out in the end.

Speaking of which, since the new exhibits were unlocked in the hall of the Science and Technology Museum, Xu Lei had left this dormant cabin behind, thinking it was useless.

Although promoting the dormant pod can also earn influence, under normal circumstances, who would need the dormant pod.

What's more, it can only sleep for 50 years.

Just relying on the purchasing power of those dying people is simply not enough to toss the cost.

However, it is different now, with the threat of Pluto, no one knows what the final outcome of Earth and Star will be.

Taking a step back, if human beings fail to prevent the impact of Pluto in the end, then the environment after Earth and Star will inevitably undergo earth-shaking changes.

No longer adapted to human life.

The main reason for the extinction of dinosaurs was the drastic changes in the environment.

Even if the environment can be modified with powerful technology, it will take time, right? In this case, the role of the dormant cabin is just reflected.

If a dormant base is built deep underground to let humans fall into a deep sleep temporarily, then it is possible to survive after Pluto hits the earth and ensure the continuation of human civilization.

This is equivalent to the last guarantee of mankind.

However, to manufacture kinetic energy weapons to ensure the continuous output of heavy hammer cruisers, it is necessary to build a dormant base deep underground.

It is an unimaginable amount of work to get one of them alone.

Therefore, Xu Lei is very clear that before implementing these plans, the integration of the earth and star forces must be completed first, so as to ensure that the power of all mankind can be concentrated to deal with this crisis.

"Let's go here first today. It's not easy to complete the modeling in a few days." Xu Lei asked Xingtong to turn off the modeling of kinetic weapons, and whispered to himself: "I hope five days later It can be a good situation, if anyone disregards the interests of all mankind, then you can’t blame me for using thunder methods.”

At present, there are nearly [-] forces in the world, large and small, and it is difficult to guarantee that their hearts can be together and work together for the future of human civilization.

So if he wants to ensure that his plan can go smoothly, Xu Lei will definitely deal with the hidden dangers first.

But when Xu Lei was about to undress and go to bed, he suddenly received an application from Chen Shihe.

I learned that the other party wanted to come over by private elevator.

Thinking that Chen Shihe might have some important matter to deal with at night, he didn't think too much about it, and directly agreed to the other party's entry.

But when the elevator door opened and Xu Lei raised his eyes to look, he was stunned in place.

Because his image was different from his usual professional suit, Chen Shihe was only wearing suspender pajamas at this moment, exposing a large area of ​​white and tender skin in view.

"Shihe, what is this?" Xu Lei immediately asked softly in doubt.

For this, Chen Shihe showed unprecedented determination, and replied with a smile: "I don't know if I can survive this crisis for all mankind, but I really don't want to have regrets."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Lei to answer, he quickly stepped forward and hugged his neck tightly. When Nuan Yu fell into his arms, the emotions of many years turned into tides, and everything came naturally.

It wasn't until the sun was high that Xu Lei woke up leisurely. Looking at the figure of Chen Shihe in his arms, his desire to save this crisis became more and more determined.
