Chapter 80 Quickly Travel! Fate of Ice Star (Thirty-Two)
"Shu Yang is right!" Feng Ziang also stepped forward, his tone firm, "We can't let fear control our choices. If we choose to hide the truth, what's the difference between us and those who hide the truth for their own benefit?"
Manager Li was silent. He knew that what Shu Yang and Feng Ziang said made sense, but his heart was still full of contradictions and uneasiness. Revealing the secret might benefit more people, but it might also cause unpredictable chaos.
As night fell, Shu Yang and Feng Ziang walked side by side on the way back to the dormitory. Neither of them spoke, but each could feel the heaviness in the other's heart.
"Do you regret it?" Shu Yang suddenly stopped and turned to look at Feng Ziang.
"What do you regret?"
"I regret bringing this secret back." Shu Yang's eyes were a little confused. "If we hadn't discovered that laboratory, wouldn't we be so entangled now?"
Feng Ziang gently held Shu Yang's hand, and said firmly, "No, I don't regret it. Shu Yang, we are both right, we just want to make Bingxing better. I believe that no matter what happens in the future, we can face it together."
Shu Yang nodded. Feng Ziang's words gave him strength. The two returned to the dormitory, washed up, and went back to their rooms to rest. However, none of them fell asleep. They were all thinking about the same question: What should they do next?
The next morning, before Shu Yang and Feng Ziang had time to look for Manager Li, they received a message: Manager Li would hold an emergency meeting in the conference room in an hour...
The piercing alarm sounded and broke the silence of the base. Shu Yang and Feng Ziang looked at each other, and the uneasiness in their hearts became stronger. They hurried to the conference room and found that it was already full of people, and everyone's face was full of solemnity.
Manager Li sat at the head of the conference table and looked around at everyone with a serious expression, "I believe everyone has received the notice. The content of this emergency meeting is about the information brought back by Shu Yang and Feng Ziang's team."
As soon as the words fell, the conference room suddenly became noisy, with whispers rising and falling. Shu Yang noticed that some people's eyes were full of worry, while others had a subtle excitement.
"Quiet!" Manager Li knocked on the table vigorously. After everyone quieted down, he continued, "The importance of this information is self-evident, but it also comes with huge risks. After careful consideration, I think we should brainstorm and jointly decide how to handle this secret."
As soon as Director Li finished speaking, a gray-haired expert stood up impatiently, "I think we should make this discovery public immediately! This is a major event that concerns all of humanity. We cannot hide it because we are afraid of risks!"
"I object!" Another expert stood up and retorted, "Aren't there enough disasters recorded in this data? If we don't find a safe and controllable way to use it, it will only cause global panic if we make it public!"
"Yes, we should conduct in-depth research first and find ways to control the risks before considering making it public."
"But who can guarantee that we will find a way to control the risks? What if..."
In the conference room, the two factions, those who supported disclosure and those who supported secrecy, were arguing with each other, and neither could convince the other. Shu Yang and Feng Ziang sat in a corner, listening to the heated debate, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
They understand that no matter what decision they make in the end, it will have a far-reaching impact on Ice Star and even on the entire human society.
Manager Li had been listening in silence until the quarrel in the conference room gradually died down. He then slowly spoke, "Shu Yang, as a direct participant in this discovery, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Shu Yang. Shu Yang took a deep breath and slowly stood up...
Shu Yang took a deep breath and looked around. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, some expecting, some worried, some scrutinizing. He felt a surge of power from deep inside his heart, a scientist's sense of responsibility and an explorer's courage.
"Everyone," Shu Yang said in a clear and firm voice, "I know what this decision means. We may face panic, questioning, and even accusations. But as a scientist and an explorer, we have the responsibility to tell the truth to the world."
He scanned everyone in the conference room. "This data is not just a research statistic, it is also a warning and a call. It tells us that the universe is full of unknowns and challenges. We can no longer be complacent and hide in our comfort zone."
"Going public does not mean creating panic, but to make everyone realize that we are a community with a shared destiny. Only by uniting as one can we cope with future challenges." Shu Yang's voice became increasingly high-pitched, and his tone was full of appeal. "We have the responsibility and the ability to turn crises into opportunities and challenges into steps for progress!"
Shu Yang's speech was like a flash of lightning, lighting up the hearts of everyone in the conference room. The applause went from sparse to thunderous, and everyone's face was filled with admiration and approval.
Manager Li led the applause, his eyes sparkling with admiration. He knew that Shu Yang's choice would require him to bear tremendous pressure, but the courage and responsibility he showed were worthy of the identity of a team leader.
After a heated discussion, the meeting finally made a decision: to reveal the secret!
Of course, disclosure does not mean revealing all the information without a plan. The meeting decided to set up a special team to develop detailed plans and response measures to ensure that the information is accurately conveyed and to avoid excessive panic among the public.
After the meeting, Shu Yang and Feng Ziang walked out of the conference room side by side. Feng Ziang held Shu Yang's hand and gave him a firm look, "You did a good job, I am always by your side."
Shu Yang smiled back, his heart filled with warmth and strength.
At this moment, Shu Yang's personal terminal flashed, and Secretary Chen came over and said, "Shu Yang, your parents want to have a video call with you."
Shu Yang's heart trembled slightly, and an inexplicable premonition surged into his mind...
Shu Yang took a deep breath, tried to calm his surging emotions, and answered the video call. The screen lit up, and two familiar faces came into view. They were his parents. The years had left traces on their faces, but the love and worry were still there.
"Yangyang, you've lost weight." The mother spoke first, her eyes slightly red. "Are you doing okay over there? Are you used to the food? Are you tired from work?" A series of questions were filled with the mother's concern for her son.
My father echoed, "Yes, Shuyang, how long have you not been home? We all miss you."
Seeing his parents' concerned eyes, Shu Yang's nose was sore. He held back his tears and forced a smile, "Dad, Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to worry. Although the environment on Bingxing is a bit harsh, everything is fine here. Everyone in the team treats me very well..."
