Chapter 25 Safety Statement and Abandonment of Development
Professor Edward continued, "The so-called safe zone is located at the edge of the city and about 50 kilometers above the city. We can see a thin light curtain that protects us. This light curtain is like a protective shield."
"Except for electromagnetic waves, no substance can penetrate this light curtain."
Professor Zhang Hui from Yunhai City pressed a button and interrupted, "Let me add that, in fact, most substances can pass through the safe zone in the form of molecules. For example, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc."
“Water from the lake can also enter the safe zone.”
Edward was stunned for a moment: "Indeed... But we need to conduct further tests to know how big a molecule can pass through the safe zone."
"And the speed of time passing in Pangu Continent is one hundred times faster than that in the safe zone."
"Only if the public vote cancels the safe zone will this light curtain disappear, and at the same time, the rate at which time passes will return to normal."
The time flow rate ratio is one hundred times, which means that observing the outside world from the safe zone is like watching a fast-forwarded movie: plants grow wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye; birds fly faster than the speed of sound, faster than intercontinental missiles; and each insect is like a missile.
"We observed many common plants and animals on Pangaea."
"But we also observed a small number of extraordinary species..."
Hearing this, Li Chunhong and Professor Zhang Hui looked at each other.
In the room, a colonel from the military asked, "Professor Zhang, how do you control the passage of time?"
Professor Zhang smiled bitterly: "This question is really beyond the current scientific understanding..."
"I can only answer this from the perspective of science fiction. I once read a novel called The Three-Body Problem, in which there is a concept called a safety statement, which is a low-speed black hole."
"For civilizations in low-speed black holes, the speed of light is reduced, and the rate at which time passes is different from that in the outside world. They protect themselves from threats by giving up development, leaving everything to fate."
"But is the safety declaration really safe? Perhaps not entirely... When the universe is destroyed, the civilization in the safety declaration will also be destroyed."
"We should be in a similar predicament now."
Li Chunhong understood, nodded slightly, and said, "What are the risks of Pangu Continent? Everyone, can you share them?"
This time, each participating civilization expressed its own opinions and participated in the discussion.
Sharing information is the only way they can cooperate.
Several photos appeared on the screen.
One of the photos captured a "dark cloud" that covered the sky and the sun, like a rotten black human head, with its empty eye sockets quietly staring at the safe zone.
This is not a real dark cloud or a human head, but an unknown supernatural phenomenon.
"It appeared in the 15th civilization branch, near Buenos Aires and São Paulo... It seems to be contagious, dyeing the surrounding air gray and black, with a total area of more than 120 square kilometers."
"Because the time outside the safe zone is one hundred times that of Earth, it watched Pangaea for about 12 days and then left."
12 days, that's 2.88 hours.
"I'd like to ask, are there any cities with nuclear bombs?" Buenos Aires is the capital of a large country in South America, and even the president has been teleported here.
Although it is the capital, it does not have strong military capabilities due to its limited national strength.
But no one answered this question.
"Did we bring it?" Li Chunhong whispered.
"No...we only have some conventional weapons."
"There are no nuclear bombs deployed in coastal cities..." said a colonel with a dark face.
“If we dig up uranium from Pangaea, can we make it?”
"The construction of an atomic bomb is not difficult. We in Yunhai City still have some industrial capabilities, but not now. We have no electricity and no centrifuges."
Everyone was silent, somewhat anxious.
There was also a photo of a dandelion-like thing.
The city's professor said: "This mysterious dandelion is also contagious."
"Once the fish and birds outside are covered with white hair, they will be contaminated and will also grow a lot of white hair and show zombie characteristics."
Monsters and the like can be dealt with using thermal weapons.
But how can we solve these infectious things? At least from the current perspective, there is no solution!
“My friends, real democracy has finally emerged.”
"If a city's safety zone is really revoked due to a referendum, please share the information. We also want to know if these wandering monsters will launch an attack."
Everyone in the meeting room looked unhappy, because the crowd was a mob, and many people who were just having fun were voting crazily to abolish the safe zone... This group of people would only regret it when they were about to die.
…
Everyone tacitly ignores the question of who "God" is...
After all, everyone here is from the upper class and knows deeply that religion is just a tool of rule.
Moreover, God does not show any inclination.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
God is not an anthropomorphic being; He is the law that governs the world.
Really use scriptures to debate? Hey, that's what you should do when facing reporters. Real closed-door talks never discuss such things.
Next, Professor Zhang Hui from Yunhai City came to the stage and gave another message.
Zhang Hui cleared his throat: "Hello, friends."
"Since entering the Pangaea Continent, the meteorites owned by various cities have opened up some new functions."
"This circular object may be a gift from God, or it may be the creation of an advanced civilization in the past few eras of Pangu Continent."
"For unknown reasons, it crashed on our Earth."
"One of the screens suddenly lit up a few hours ago, and a large amount of information appeared on it. Everyone just needs to press these buttons in sequence to see this information."

Civilization auxiliary management device?
The ninth era of Pangu Continent?
Many leaders fell into deep thought.
But it is undeniable that it contains a lot of information!
The text on the screen continued: [Current civilization: Human civilization - the *th branch.]
