Natural Disaster Strikes: From Joining the Rescue Team

Chapter 927: An Age Where We Can’t Afford to Fight a War

Faced with Dane's frustration, Jay wanted to explain but was unable to do so, so he said awkwardly, "Yes."

Dane paced silently. He was not discussing with Jay, but some fragmented words came out of his mouth involuntarily: ". Start a war. Xiao. Ao is very capable and always sides with his own people. What should we do if we lose in Area 1? We can't mine, plant, or have subsequent resources."

Jie blurted out, "They have rescue vehicles, and all the minerals in the world belong to them."

Dane regained consciousness, his brows furrowed even tighter: "Why are you still here?"

Jay: “You didn’t let me leave.”

Dane woke up completely: "Oh, that's it."

He rubbed his forehead and said tiredly, "Please don't mind. I'm very tired recently. I should be very tired. What happened in the past year or so has broken our conventional cognition and shattered our worldview. We no longer have values ​​and outlook on life. Shrinking in this narrow base, the electricity must be carefully allocated every day, otherwise the air exchange system will have problems at any time, making fresh air a luxury. Poor us, we don't even have enough wind power, so how can we have values? How can we talk about outlook on life when life has become like this."

Jay stammered: "Mr. President, this, Mr. President,"

Thinking of something, he suddenly lost color and mustered up the courage to speak fluently.

"I have to tell you directly that we can't win. The alien energy bodies in Area 1 have always been a force that we have not researched, but Li Qi casually called them out and even broadcast them live for the whole world to watch. If he can use the power of these energy bodies, Area 1 is only a few hundred miles away from us, and we have no chance of fighting back."

Dane stared at him.

Jay: "I'm telling the truth. For thousands of years, we have studied alien forces and have received alien guests that we couldn't afford to offend. When we had no other choice, we met their conditions and sent them away. I dare to say this: if there is any force from outer space that we don't understand, we'd better not provoke it."

His voice lowered. "I know the President's Office estimates that there are still more than 200 million people in the country, but I wonder if there are actually 100 million people in this base that we can see with our eyes. Please don't worry. I'm not asking you for population data. I just want to say that this base is pretty solid. We still have a chance to reproduce here and wait for the snow to disappear or the weather to get better. Professor Feige is learning all the knowledge in the other company. He is a man with great love, not like Frank, a scholar who is jealous of talents. He will definitely come back after he learns, or give feedback to his country. Mr. President, my wife and children live here, and so do yours. The time has come when we can't afford to fight a war."

His eyes were slightly red with some crystal tears in them. He wanted to say something but just sighed and swallowed it back.

Dane walked up to him, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and clearly continued what Jay had not said: "We are not afraid of death, nor are we unwilling to sacrifice ourselves for the empire. It's just that after we sacrifice ourselves, will our descendants be able to recuperate and have a better life? Will the wind and snow disappear..."

Jay interrupted him with a sob: "Mr. President, I don't care how many reports you have received in the past year claiming that the blizzard was caused by weather weapons. I just want to tell you once that such a blizzard covering the entire world could not have been caused by a weather weapon!"

Dane looked at him dryly, squeezing his cheeks together as if trying to force a smile to ease the atmosphere, but the expression he forced out had nothing to do with a smile, and instead seemed to show even more worry.

Jie met his weird worries and said loudly: "No matter how powerful the weather weapon is, it is impossible to make the sky snow like crazy for more than a year, and there is no sign of stopping now. How can there be so much snow in the sky! How can weapons create so much snow! It's like the snow in outer space is blown here, and all the wind and snow are concentrated on this planet!"

Dane didn't force a smile, but made a bitter joke: "Haha, the end of the world is really coming."

Jie: "I don't know, and we can't draw such a conclusion. You and I both know that there are 147 other countries that have calmly dealt with the blizzard. Their total population of more than billion people have been safely transferred to the base, and the population is constantly increasing. In addition, there is another not-so-small country that is carrying out a national migration in the snow. They are carrying hundreds of millions of people on foot in the snow."

At this point, he was also frustrated: "What about us? We can't even get out of the underground base. Our people are as weak as rich old ladies who live a life of luxury. They will fall to the ground if they drink a gust of wind. But, what's the reason to call this the end of the world! This is like the end of the world for the Unrestrained Country and the Allied Countries, while the 147+1 countries have adapted very well. The snowstorm planes bring them a steady stream of supplies and people, and the rescue vehicles can fully complete the mining work under the snow."

His temper flared up: "Speaking of these, it can't be called the end of the world. Just a year ago, the country with far less technological capabilities than ours was able to survive. We should be able to do it too."

Dane relaxed at his words and showed an admiring expression, but he spread his hands and said, "Well said, but how can we live a better life? Do you have any good suggestions? Just like the passionate words you just said, please speak out and let me restore my confidence in the glory of the empire."

Jay suddenly came to his senses and looked around. This was the President's office. He was just a housekeeper or full-time nanny for a bunch of scholars in the space office.

He managed to force a smile: "Mr. President, how to live a good life is your business, not mine."

Dane looked serious and said, "But what you said just now was very good. You can always say a few more words. Just say a few more words based on your passion just now."

Jay: "That being said, I can still say a few more words."

Dane: "Please tell me."

Jay: "For example, my responsibility is to protect the Space Office. Hundreds of years ago, the Space Office could not stand the petty style of the President's Office. The scholars at that time were also very strong. From then on, the Space Office was separated from the jurisdiction of the President's Office and became a cooperative organization with the President's Office and the Grand Chamber."

Dane repeated incredulously: "Villain style?"

Jay: "According to the literature, the President's Office only has the ambition to dominate the world and make the empire stronger, while the Space Office only wants to study astronomy and take human civilization one step further. However, no matter how hard the scholars of the Space Office work, the President's Office has only one requirement, which is whether alien life can create more powerful weapons, whether aliens can provide new planets for mining new materials and refining new weapons. In their eyes, there are only weapons, weapons, and weapons. They completely ignore the value that new humans bring to us, the value that the most advanced civilization or the lower civilization brings to us."

Dane was thoughtful. "Is that so? Forgive me, Jay, I don't know much about this history. You know that before you and I were born, the Space Office became a nearly independent organization. It applied for salaries from taxpayers as scholars, raised sponsorship funds as scholars, and used research funds by converting academic research results into cash. After I took office as president, you didn't ask me for money, so why should I care more? Anyway, your research results don't belong to the presidential office, and we won't even be given a name."

Jay: "Independence is because the then Presidential Office regarded the Space Office as one of the weapons research and development laboratories. We are not, we have never been, and we will never be. We study the progress of human civilization, including human civilization in the universe. Do you understand what I am saying here, Mr. President? Alien civilizations may have ways to deal with wind and snow, but we still don't understand what the alien energy body in Area 1 is, and what knowledge can be interpreted. Then Li Qi appeared, and the energy body he called out far exceeded our cognition and our literature records."

Dane was alert: "If you mean there is knowledge in these alien energy bodies, and Li Qi can interpret it, then the Life Eternal Investment Company has already obtained this knowledge."

His expression became uglier. “No wonder they first sent Yang Minghui to blackmail us, and then held on to Area 1 until it fell into their hands. It turns out that they are after not only the large amount of valuable materials in Area 1, but also alien energy and knowledge.”

A look of regret, as if he had lost all his property, was written on Dane's face.

Jay: "Don't get excited, I'm just guessing, but the things in the unknown must not be empty, we just can't get them. This is common sense."

Dane frowned: "What do you want to say! Just tell me directly, is there any knowledge in the alien energy body that has prevented Area 1 from solving the problem? If you dare to say no, I will hit you on the head with something!" Jay took a step back: "I have already said, from common sense, there must be knowledge in the energy body, but we just don't understand it. You asked me what I want to say, Mr. President, if you start a war, you will not win."

He leaned forward and said, "I'm done. Thank you."

Turn around and walk towards the door.

Dane said angrily, "Did I allow you to leave?"

Jay stopped: "Okay."

He looked at him innocently, which made Dane even angrier. He waved his hand and said, "Go away, go away. I don't want to see you again today."

Jay: “Thank you, me too.”

After realizing that his answer was inappropriate, Jie simply stopped explaining, ran away quickly, and closed the door gently.

Dane stood there for a moment, still very angry.

He said angrily: "Start a war, start a war. We have no chance of winning. Why should we start a war? Even if Si Yue stays in Area 1 for a long time, it is not good news for me. This is not like the previous election campaign when we started a war overseas to canvass for votes."

I was stunned and recalled that Jie had just said the same thing.

Jay said, "The time has come when we can no longer afford to fight a war."

Dane was mad: "But I want to fight for love, but I can't afford it."

He couldn't even contact all the other cities in his country, and hadn't even completed the rescue work in his own country. Even if he had love, he couldn't send it out.

The computer next to him was still scrolling and playing the video of the little tree man in Area No. 1, which made Dane think of the strength of the Endless Life Investment Company, and he lost his ambition even more.

"In the base above the ground, there is endless rescue of people and supplies. I want them too."

If drooling out of envy could solve this confusion, Dane could drool a lot. As for starting a war, forget it. As Jay said, it's impossible to win.

So why fight?

Dane was disappointed: "There is no comparison between the two."

There is no comparison between the two.

At this moment, in the distant snow, Lan Ping was talking to Fang Yi with a cheerful face. He got off the Queen at noon and tried to hide his smile, but it was still grinning.

The smile doesn't reach the ears because of the human structure.

This is the underground urban area, where the Nanping rescue team has been working recently. The wall on one side receives the projection, and the Nanping rescue team sits in a row under the opposite wall.

A long list of supplies was scrolling in the projection. Sometimes the list was rolled up, and Fang Yi, Liu Wangjun and a group of staff members appeared sitting in a snow cave at the other end of the projection.

When Nanping saw the list of material distribution to be sent to Yang Yueming on the Queen, he had only one thought: it was too long. Now that he got another copy from Fang Yi, he still thought so.

In fact, these materials are too expensive. If he knew the names of these materials in advance, he would definitely not dare to ask for them.

However, the Queen directly solved the problem that had never appeared in front of him. Queen Xiaoye said, "You can get whatever you want," and directly sent Nanping to the state of completing the task.

Nanping fell asleep drunk, and Yang Yueming received the list, and the task was successfully completed.

Nanping said to Fang Yi solemnly: "Sir, I have a suggestion. Although the snowstorm has come, diplomacy is still there. However, not only the rescue team members who stayed in their own country only had the mood of hard work and did not pay attention to these things. Even some of the staff on the road of the great retreat believed that only hardship can defeat the snowstorm. The Queen gave us a vivid lesson. They lived very well. One car and one small team, they went wherever they went to rescue, and they could eat whatever they wanted in the car. The rescue life was not affected."

Fang Yi nodded repeatedly.

Nanping was in high spirits: "I'm telling you the truth, don't mind. The snowstorm brought us down. Our rescue rate in the urban area is not as good as Captain Gu Sheng's rescue of his hometown city. We are full of confrontational thinking and have been thinking about how to defeat it. The Queen's approach is quite correct. It directly opens up new ideas for us. Wind power infusion and collection of snowstorm power. They live confidently and calmly in the snowstorm. When I saw the Queen, I realized that the snowstorm is a new power and new energy for them, but a disaster for us. Haven't we been looking for new energy in the past? In fact, before the snowstorm, the world was desperately looking for new energy. This is the difference in thinking and cognition. Therefore, the Lifeless Investment Company established a ground base to accommodate more than 7 billion people to live and work, while we are still walking in the snow, and the Bull Country and others are still making trouble in Area 1. People are certainly not comparable, but we can't be so bad."
