Chapter 37 The Sacrifice of Civilization

Supreme Commander Sanche Raymond appeared on the screen. His tone of speaking was calm and his expression seemed to be strictly designed.

Don't think of reading anything from his expression that he doesn't want you to know, Arthur knows that this is the highest realm of the new human being.

When they want to hide something, their face, which is no different from humans, will become lifeless and there is no trace of emotion.

It seems to be facing a machine screen.

"Arthur Lin, Namiki, thanks to United Airlines for training you two such outstanding students. On behalf of all mankind, I would like to express my gratitude to you. You are already very clear about the journey that is about to begin. I hope that the news of your victory will be waiting for in two days."

After saying the high-sounding words, Nami was deeply moved. She had tears in her eyes and was ready to do everything for the task.

Compared with Nami's spirits, Arthur's mood was much gloomy.

It was not because he was worried about his mother, but because he had a big question in his heart.

Since Perimo said that the Mir could not track the spaceship that took her mother away, does it mean that United Airlines had lost contact with the Himalaya spaceship piloted by Race and Suzaku, and it was not that the spaceship was destroyed after entering the earth.

"Commander, I have a question." Arthur did not intend to waste time. He and Nami were ready to sacrifice their lives. Of course, there is no need to say more if this boosts morale.

"When I finish talking about the next thing, I will give you time to ask questions." The commander said.

Arthur nodded and took a step back.

"I think there is one thing that needs to be known to both of you that United Airlines has passed a decision that if the Earth mission fails, Mars will become an alternative plan."

"What does it mean?" Nami immediately noticed that the commander's words revealed a terrible message. "Does it mean that if we cannot detonate the earth, Mars will be sacrificed as the second swallowing point?"

"Yes, kid, you're right."

Klein, who was standing in the back row, looked at Suzumiya. He found that Suzumiya was gritting her teeth tightly and would rush up to tear the commander off at all times. Fortunately, it was just a holographic image.

"Calm down." He conveyed his advice to Suzumiya in his lips, "Calm down, calm down."

After several seconds, Suzumiya nodded slightly to Klein.

Perimo, who was standing aside, saw it and said nothing. At this point, even if the Mir violated the decision of the United Airlines Command Center, opened the passenger compartment without authorization and accepted Mars residents, it would be useless.

Who should be on board the boat first?

This question cannot be answered by any human being at any time.

Maybe we can only imitate the Titanic's actions when it was sunk, "The old man, the woman and the child board the Mir first?"

This is impossible. In the era of space voyage, everyone's physical fitness has become more average, and the health of the elderly is no worse than that of young people. Children are exceptional, but it is difficult for children who grow up on Mars to adapt immediately when they come to Mir. The tests everyone faces are the same.

What's even more difficult is that humans on Mars are very united, and their families are in touch with each other, and no one wants to leave anyone.

Humans who have lost the earth are more united than when they were on the earth. This unity sometimes implies the threat of destruction.

Dawson looked serious. In his opinion, United Airlines' decision was everything. Although more than 200,000 residents on Mars would be buried in an instant, the solar system could be preserved, which is the most priority, and necessary sacrifices are inevitable.

As for Frankenstein, he was still calculating the possibility of "strings" completing the task, which was only 2% in his calculations. This was a futile mission. All he could do was to ensure that 2% would not become lower due to technical reasons.

Enough, hurry up and end this damn threat.

Everyone thinks this way.

Since the launch of the national survey, humans on the Mir spacecraft have also voted for their own votes. 90% of residents said that all residents of Mars should be evacuated, but 10% of them still voted abstained. This is not because they do not respect life, but because these humans understand the humility and helplessness of life in the universe.

In order to prosper and live forever, death and sacrifice are essential.

Some people understand these principles earlier and believe them even earlier.

United Airlines did not care about the referendum in the end, and they even announced Plan B the moment the voting result came out.

Everyone knows that Plan B and Plan A were formulated at the same time, and sacrificing Mars is part of the plan to restart the World Heritage List.

The ideal is the Earth. If the Earth fails, then Mars will be sacrificed. United Airlines' last battlefield is in the Alt Nebula, and all spacecraft are already concentrated there.

This is the final battlefield. If you defend the solar system, you will defend tens of millions of galaxies. United Airlines can become the sinner of humans on Mars, but not the sinner of the solar system and human civilization. The former will be considered a worthy sacrifice after tens of thousands of years of civilization.

This decision seems understandable.

Back to the tram dilemma, "A out-of-control train is running on the rails. On the track where the train is moving, five people are tied up and unable to move. The train will be crushing them. You are standing in the station, close to the joystick that changes the train tracks. If you pull this rod, the train will switch to the backup track. However, you will notice that there is only one person tied on the backup track. You have two options:

Do nothing and let the train crush these five people on the normal route.

Pull down the joystick and change it to a backup track, causing the train to overwhelm another person on the backup track."

There is only one way to solve this dilemma, that is, when a person on the track chooses to sacrifice himself, the dilemma will disappear in an instant.

United Airlines' approach is very straightforward. They switch all frequencies, no one can receive the cry for help from Mars, and no one can keep in communication with Mars. It's that simple, Mars is as silent as Earth.

A picture that appeared in Suzumiya's mind was tragic and real. A human standing on the top of Mount Everest called for help in the sky. At this time, will life in the whole universe hear his voice?

Sound is a kind of wave, but it will gradually weaken by distance, and the atmosphere completely submerges its sound on the earth, and no one can hear a trace of it.

When the instrument is turned off, no matter how loud the cry for help is futile.

Suzumiya felt deeply desperate, but she had no choice but to do anything.

"It seems that we must win." Nami didn't have time to be sad, and she quickly turned the sadness into motivation.

"Very good, that's all we expect." The commander's voice seemed to come from a distant place. Arthur suddenly felt a strange feeling. He took one step forward, another, until he was less than half an arm away from his body and the commander's face.
