Chapter 12 - The Spark Program

  Xia's "kindling program" can be traced back to the early days of the founding of the country, when the impoverished Xia, in order to cope with the threat of enemy weapons of mass destruction, carried out the construction of the three defenses on a national scale, and the main focus was the "kindling program".

 

  With the enhancement of the level of science and technology and economic strength of Xia, the "kindling program" has evolved from the initial single protection of the survival of the elite into a comprehensive plan for the continuation of human civilization that encompasses human beings, species, science and technology, and so on.

 

  In the conference room, the old general's resolute eyes swept over the crowd, "Each of you is the top scientist in a certain area, at this critical moment right now, the country and the people trust in your professional judgment, you've got the relevant information and simulation results, you've got three hours of discussion time, give me the accurate results after three hours. "

 

  After that, the old general got up and left.

 

  In the conference room, more than 30 top scientists of the Summerland started a heated discussion on whether to implement the "kindling program".

 

  The old general who walked out of the conference room was not idle, grasping every second to hear the latest news brought by the orderlies. ap.

 

  "The Pretty Country sent out another statement today, once again speculating that their carrier, the USS Thetford, is hidden from us ..."

 

  "I still want it ....." General Zhang couldn't help but spit out a sentence, then shook his head and said, "It's not my turn to worry about fighting a war of words, by the way, has there been any progress in that bizarre theft case in the deep city?"

 

  The orderly swiped his tablet, "Reporting to the General, nothing yet."

 

  The Auto City theft case could get General Zhang's attention not because of the huge amount of money, but because it was too bizarre. I don't know why, but General Zhang just felt that there was a great similarity between this case and the disappearance of the Tefal. He didn't believe that the Tefal had sunk as much as Pretty Country did.

 

  It's just that the critical situation at hand and the life and death of more than a billion people made him temporarily not have the heart to deal with the thefts of the Tefal and the Deep City Auto Mall.

 

  Meanwhile the government of the Pretty Country had likewise sensed the crisis of a great change in the weather, and after a series of governmental meetings, its president was invited to participate in a conference at a private estate.

 

  Those who were qualified to participate in the scene of this conference were all the real tycoons of the pretty country. Some of them are the world's familiar computer bigwigs, Internet bigwigs, entity technology bigwigs, financial bigwigs, and the old entity enterprise controlling people, and they almost occupy half of the participants.

 

  Apart from the President and the new Minister of Defense, the remaining half or so of the participants did not have a single face familiar to the world. But both the attitudes of the others and the positions of these people at the conference table, as well as the president's groveling appearance before them, were indicating that their status, or wealth, was far above that of the others.

 

  In particular, one of the blonde hair and green eyes, white face covered with wrinkles, hale and hearty eyes seemingly calm, only occasionally there is a sharp-edged light flashed the old man, occupying the main seat of the conference table.

 

  "Everyone sit down and listen to our Chief Scientist, Mr. Missy, give you the actual facts."

 

  Missy Polter, know that he exists in the beautiful country is the real top circle. It is said that the IQ of Mississippi Polt is still above the Einstein of the year, the inventive ability exceeds the Tesla, beautiful country many cutting-edge technology have his shadow, some unknown black technology is his hand to create, the scope of its research spread over many disciplines.

 

  "Gentlemen, no matter how much of what I'm about to say is beyond your cognizance, please keep quiet, or you will be expelled, much like those of my untalented students." Missy Polter, who appeared to be only in his thirties but was actually in his sixties and almost seventies, had an extremely strong personality, which was the result of the unrivaled confidence brought to him by his intellect and ability.

 

  "Let me start by saying that humanity, at least the current humanity, including all of you here, is about to be finished!"

 

  Even though he had already taken the precaution, Missy Porter's opening sentence still made the people here change their colors and face seven emotions. If it was someone else who said this they might be indifferent, but from the mouth of Missy Porter, then the possibility of this thing actually happening was already up to ninety-eight percent or more!

 

  "As a matter of fact, the island nation is finished! From the data I just got, the island's current mortality rate of up to 50 percent of the population, Mount Shifu eruption of volcanic ash has brought 70 percent of the island's national territory covered, if only ordinary volcanic ash island may still have some hope, but after we sampled and detected to determine that Mount Shifu eruption of volcanic ash carries a large number of radioactive dust, we do not know where the radiation elements actually come from, perhaps it is the result of the islanders some years ago to discharge nuclear waste indiscriminately. We still don't know where these radioactive elements come from, maybe it's the result of the islanders discharging nuclear waste indiscriminately some years ago, in short, the island is finished, and those who still remain on the island, are also finished!"

 

  If the deaths of a single island nation and tens of millions of people weren't enough to make these top tycoons care, what Missy Polland said next, about the volcanic ash about to close off the atmosphere and the surface temperatures about to plummet, made these people completely dumbfounded.

 

  " ... For a long time to come, no crops will be able to be grown on the surface of the earth, please note that I am talking about crops here, in other words, a great famine is bound to occur, and all the nations of the earth will be in a state of order due to the lack of food, and to add insult to injury, the prolonged absence of sunlight will lead to secretion disorders and insanity in many people ... "

 

  "..... I know that each of you has prepared at least one post-apocalyptic fortress, a sanctuary, but how long can you last hiding in it? Three years or five years? Without a sufficient population base and means of production to support it, a refuge is nothing more than a cage, and you are the mice locked inside, perhaps you will choose to send yourselves to God before the supplies run out ..."

 

  "... Twenty years ago I presided over the launching of the Doomsday Ark Project and the Garden of Eden Project, which has now taken shape and is now able to sustain a population of over seventy million people, and if you would like to join in I would welcome it, and will appropriately disclose the brand new technology at my disposal depending on your contributions ..."

 

  "... Including and not limited to human life cycle related technology, genetic modification technology, new aerospace technology, factory planting and farming technology, etc., I believe that as long as we maintain the Ark and Eden and other doomsday shelters, when the disaster passes, we will still be the most powerful country in this world!"

 

  "... I have concluded that countries such as Xia will be completely wiped out in this catastrophe, and thank God that the Pretty Country will only have to pay half of its population to take out our true rivals and take complete control of the world ..."

 

  Missy Pawlenty talked for almost two hours.

 

  Later, he elaborates in detail on the types of natural disasters he judges are likely to occur and how to deal with them, and even mentions that "a great disaster will bring about a great change," claiming that the surviving human beings are likely to undergo an abnormal change, and that he has already begun to do preparatory research work a long time ago.

 

  All in all, Michipolat believes that as long as he follows his plan, the End Times Apocalypse will be a good rather than a bad thing for Pretty Country in the long run!

 

  If Chow Lin could have attended this meeting, he would have agreed with only that part of Mississippi Porter's judgment that was only about the island.

 

  "Dad, look at the color of the sky outside and stop doubting."

 

  Before departing for Zhou Li's school, Zhou Lin pointed at the sky that was still dark at eight thirty.
