Chereads / THE ERA OF CATACALYSM / Chapter 19 - Chapter-19

Chapter 19 - Chapter-19

Alex's body trembled a little bit.

Previous observations have shown that the brightness of Mars has not diminished. This also implies that the radiation levels on the other side of the sun have not decreased as a result of the solar eclipse. And now the planet Mars is becoming dim...

Alex's thoughts are still occupied by Virat's words: "However, the scientific research department decided to send the Thunderstorm Mercury probe to the other side of the sun regardless of the outcome of the election. After all, the sun's opposite side only has a short amount of time to weaken. They are hoping to glean some information from the site."

"Okay. The entire sky is clouded in." "How's the sun doing today?" Alex inquired.

"It isn't getting better any time soon. Despite the fact that solar radiation continues to decline," Vlakovich made a shaky motion with his head.

"We'll have to figure out what to do if...if the amount of solar radiation has been decreasing to the point where even the equator has become too cold for human survival. I'm worried about what will happen to our civilization." The words came out hurriedly, as if Alex was out of breath. Same.

Virat cast a glance over his shoulder at Alex: "The equatorial project is a positive development, and the government continues to secretly preside over the "City of Life" development plan. Extremely low temperatures and various types of bad weather, which may result from the sharp reduction in solar radiation levels, will be avoided under the City of Life plan, which will construct a completely enclosed massive city in a geologically stable location in order to prevent them.

Even if the sun is completely extinguished, the earth's atmosphere will be completely solidified and fall to the ground as a result of the thick shell and defense system that protects the planet from harm. The city of life does not have to be concerned about being damaged by the various harmful rays and asteroid impacts that occur throughout the universe, as well as the vacuum and low temperature environment, because it is protected."

I'm wondering how many people can fit into the city of life.

"A maximum of two million people will be accommodated. A preliminary assessment has already been completed by the Ministry of Science and Technology. When the earth's population exceeds two million people, we will store as much energy and food as we can because obtaining energy on the planet after the end of the day is extremely difficult. It has a lifespan of no more than ten years at most. A breakthrough in controlled nuclear fusion technology is expected to take at least ten years, according to current expectations."

"What about the rest of the group? That translates to a population of nearly seven billion people..." Alex muttered under his breath. Although Alex already knew the answer in his heart, he couldn't bring himself to think about it because the answer was so cruel.

However, Virat's answer, which Alex didn't dare to consider, came out of his mouth with grace and dexterity as he spoke. Virat's tone remained unchanged, as if he were saying, "I drank a bowl of noodles today," or something similar.

"Death." "We don't have a choice," Virat said, spitting out the word lightly.

"Everyone, tell me if you know anyone who might be eligible to enter the City of Life..." Alex inquired, his voice trembling.

"Human society's elites are a group of people." Virat's tone remained flat throughout the conversation "Only the elites have the ability to transmit human civilization. They have the potential to be successful businessmen - they have the potential to be successful and have already demonstrated their excellence; powerful politicians... Deny that human society would completely implode if leaders, scientists, engineers, researchers from a wide range of human disciplines, and outstanding artists such as musicians, painters, singers, calligraphers, and so on were not present.

They will be the driving force behind the transmission of human technology and culture to future generations. For the most part, only the most exceptional people will be granted access to the city of life. Of course, you and I are among the outstanding individuals on this list. Even if you do not have the special status at the moment, you are still qualified to enter the city of life if you have the knowledge of stellar physicists on your side."

"On top of that, there will be a variety of animals on the planet such as chickens, ducks, and geese, as well as tigers, leopards, and various plant seeds. After all, if the sun returns to normal one day in the future, then human beings should be allowed to continue their lives. You have the option of returning to the outside world. Human beings will struggle to survive if they do not have access to a diverse range of animals and plants... Aside from that, there will be a plethora of works of art, various treasures, and other relics of human culture that will be preserved in the city of life. Rescue teams have been dispatched to the crisis center to make a preliminary determination on the candidates and to collect a variety of animal specimens and art collections. Indeed, should it be determined that the equator is no longer suitable for human survival, it will be too late to carry out this research."

"To be sure, this is merely the worst-case scenario that could occur. Personally, I hope that the situation will improve, and I hope that everything they do will be in vain and ineffective." Virat said nothing in particular.

Alex's body was trembling uncontrollably at the time.

"You've done an excellent job of being thoughtful and thorough... You have considered everything, including the preservation of works of art and taxidermy, but you alone have not considered our kind, and they are all our kind! There are seven billion of the same type!" Alex clenched his throat as he screamed these words. Alex's eyes were ablaze with red, as if he were some kind of man-eating beast.
