Chapter 35 Minimum Cost
After understanding the truth, Klein sat blankly on his seat, while Suzumiya put his hands in front of him, leaning against the wall and waiting quietly.
Everything she could do has been done. From the beginning to the present, human beings are united. They are closely connected by Arthur's works, or in other words, they are closely connected by the scenery of the earth in Arthur's works.
Together.
What unity awakens is not the determination to save the earth, but a kind of vigilance and a profound understanding of enlightenment.
"We must not be abandoned like the Earth, and Mars must not sit there and wait to die. No matter what happens to the Earth, United Airlines should send spaceships to evacuate everyone from Mars, just like how everyone left the Earth together."
What the memory of Earth awakens is humanity's realization that we must leave Mars together.
Suzumiya understands this kind of conscious association better than anyone else.
She masters knowledge, controls them, and guides everyone's decisions. When she deviates from the decision-making of the United Aviation Command Center, she fights without hesitation and uses art and power to resolve problems.
Suzumiya's victory today is a victory for the human scholar's wisdom and artistic talent. Klein can only admire and respect him.
However, things are not that simple.
Obviously, United Airlines has known about the existence of vacuum vesicles as early as half a century ago. It is like a tumor growing on an individual's body. However, fifty years ago, this tumor was very small in diameter and was still a benign tumor.
.
United Airlines' senior decision-makers must have made careful calculations and detailed discussions. Finally, they decided not to announce this matter to the public.
Several prerequisites are needed to conceal the existence of vacuum bubbles. First, the expansion speed of vacuum bubbles must be very slow and completely within the calculation control of United Airlines. Second, after discussion, United Airlines believes that they have sufficient time to think of countermeasures.
Xiaopao's perfect strategy.
From this point of view, the first "World Heritage List" plan that year was launched because of this venom.
Therefore, the plan to name the World Heritage List is not just because World Heritage is a perfect concentration of human civilization and the earth's natural resources. Its purpose is not to call on everyone to love and remember our former earth.
The essence of this project is to discover the secrets buried in the World Heritage List and to solve the problem of vacuum bubbles that were still very small at the time.
Unfortunately, the first plan failed.
"But have you ever thought that if United Airlines succeeds in this approach, not only Mars will be saved, but the entire solar system will be spared."
"Klein, you are really naive. We have lost two of our best students. Do you think the Earth will welcome human spaceships back?"
"Maybe the method is wrong. Why can't we further explore it at the technical level? What I mean is that things are not that simple. If the problem of vacuum bubbles cannot be fundamentally eliminated, even if we send all the residents of Mars to the spacecraft, we will still
Facing the pursuit of vacuum bubbles, unless you escape from the solar system at full speed, it will also be a dead end."
"You don't have to worry about this, that's actually what United Airlines plans to do."
"That's the plan?"
"Yes, unless it is really possible to detonate the earth to swallow the venom, otherwise, this outpost mission will naturally fail, and then Mars will disappear, followed by the entire solar system, but things will only stop there, because United Airlines has already launched a similar mission around Jupiter.
The Jupiter version of the thread-and-thread project that is the World Heritage List.”
"Jupiter version? Using Jupiter's greater gravity to turn the entire space near Jupiter into a devouring area?"
Suzumiya smiled, a little reluctantly, "I'm glad you finally figured it out."
"I have been in the teaching position for too long, and I am a bit stupid. I am really sorry. I should have thought of it earlier. Since the command center can think of a plan to detonate the earth and create a swallowing hole, Jupiter can definitely create a larger swallowing hole. The energy of Jupiter itself is
Put it there."
"Yes, and Jupiter is not of much use to humans. We cannot establish a known place in the Jupiter system. The planet is not very friendly, and Europa is too cold."
"I prefer Titan. If we must build a living base on Europa, we might as well choose Titan. I heard that hallucinations can occur on that moon."
"Because the astronauts standing on Europa cannot ignore the existence of Jupiter. The entire sky is filled with Jupiter, and they cannot control their minds. In addition, the temperature of this satellite is very low, which increases the possibility of hallucinations. In the last century,
When United Airlines was detecting the underground ice of Europa, two astronauts experienced severe hallucinations. After returning to Mars, both astronauts claimed that there was an octopus-like giant star under the ice of Europa.
Marine life.”
"This is really an ideal hallucination." Klein wanted to lighten the conversation, and it was indeed a good idea to talk about the astronaut hallucination.
"Okay, let's get back to the subject. Did you already know about the Jupiter version of the "World Heritage List" plan?"
Suzumiya's gaze passed through Klein's head, as if he was looking into the distance.
"This plan is very much in line with human practice, isn't it? Since you can thread a needle and thread to hit a ball into a hole, you can also use it to prepare the second, third, Jupiter and Saturn. They are all good choices. If my
Good guess, but that’s not all.”
Klein had to admire that the woman in front of him was really smart, but he wasn't stupid either, but he just didn't expect that the whole plan would be so thorough.
"Of course, this is not all. The earth is the first tipping point, Jupiter or Saturn is the second tipping point, followed by Pluto and Neptune, and further to the edge there is the Kuiper Object Belt. This is not enough. If I can control
Regarding the energy and military power in the entire space, I will not let go of the Oort cloud, which is 50,000 to 100,000 AU from the sun. If we really get to that point, we can indeed buy a little more time than now."
"So, these sacrifices have already been calculated by the command center. Sacrificing a Mars is just the second step, but now it has become the first step, because the earth obviously cannot become the landing point that saves us."
"But your guess is not accurate, Dr. Suzumiya. I have to remind you that the strategy of sacrificing the solar system has a major premise."
"Are you saying that United Airlines has mastered the 'pseudo cobalt bomb' technology? This...even if this is the case, that's not bad. Our appeal is just that please don't waste time and please transfer all humans on Mars.
"
"Time is limited, they can't do it, Dr. Suzumiya, please calm down and think about it."
"I can't watch more than 200,000 people on Mars disappear like this." Suzumiya's fingers trembled, and she couldn't help but hold her hand tightly.
