The four large characters with a hint of light gold on the projection screen made everyone's pupils shrink suddenly!
Heaven!
In the legend of the Xia Kingdom, Heaven is the highest ruling center in mythology!
In the hearts of every Xia citizen, Heaven has irreplaceable significance!
"The Celestial Plan, full name is the Human Deep Space Fleet Plan."
"The project will complete initial construction within 15 years."
"The first target planet of the Celestial Plan is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.22 light years away from us!"
Lu Yongchang's calm words echoed in the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall.
At the same time, the PPT images on the projection screen kept switching, and the main content of the Heavenly Court Plan was constantly presented to everyone.
The academicians and professors in the audience were so shocked that they were speechless!
A thought involuntarily emerged in everyone's mind.
How dare Lu Yongchang do this?!
Colonizing extrasolar planets within 15 years?
Science fiction novels wouldn't dare to write like this, right?!
At the back of the conference hall, the frequency of the flash lights was getting higher and higher, almost forming a dazzling white light!
The shutter buttons of the cameras in the hands of the reporters were almost broken!
…
More than ten minutes later.
Lu Yongchang stood on the stage and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, I have briefly introduced the three major plans.
He lowered his head and glanced at the faces of the people in the audience.
Sure enough, almost every academician and professor had a look of disdain and suspicion on their faces.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile, and then said to the microphone again: "This meeting ends here."
"Please leave first, reporters."
Lu Yongchang's words caused a slight commotion in the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall.
Reporters leave first?
There was no such saying originally!
The doubts in everyone's eyes in the conference hall became even stronger.
Lu Yongchang was obviously not going to make any explanation. He just stood quietly on the stage, looking seriously at the group of reporters in the last row of the Xia State Hall.
However, at this kind of meeting, no one wanted to bring bad luck to Lu Yongchang.
After all, as the first director of NASA, Lu Yongchang holds real power!
Five minutes later.
When all the reporters had left the Xia State Hall, Lu Yongchang winked at the soldiers standing guard at the door.
"Bang!"
The four doors of the Great Hall were closed at the same time, making a uniform and dull sound!
Seeing this scene, all the academicians and professors' pupils shrank!
Is this...something big happening?!
"Everyone, what I am going to talk about next is related to national security!"
Lu Yongchang said meaningfully: "Therefore, please sign a confidentiality agreement!"
As they were talking, several soldiers began distributing confidentiality agreements to the academicians and professors one by one.
"What?!"
"I actually have to sign a confidentiality agreement!"
"It's about national security...what on earth happened?!"
As soon as Lu Yongchang finished speaking, a group of young professors lost their patience and began to discuss in low voices with their companions around them.
Some senior academicians sitting in the front row had a gleam in their eyes.
"Academician Yang, this should be the truth you just told me, right?" While signing his name on the confidentiality agreement, Mr. Qiu looked meaningfully at Yang Jianchuan beside him.
Yang Jianchuan signed his name solemnly and said softly, "Mr. Qiu, now I can tell you the truth."
"If I tell you that Xia Country... no, humans, have less than fifteen years to survive, would you believe it?"
The pupils of the white-haired Academician Qiu Tianzhong suddenly shrank. Even he couldn't suppress his shock and exclaimed in a low voice: "What did you say?!"
Seeing everyone around him looking at him, Qiu Tianzhong quickly forced a smile on his face, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."
When everyone around turned their heads away, Qiu Tianzhong quickly pulled Yang Jianchuan's sleeve and asked in a low voice: "What did you mean by that just now!?"
"What do you mean humans still have 15 years?!"
Just as Yang Jianchuan was about to answer, Lu Yongchang on the stage interrupted him.
"Since everyone has signed a confidentiality agreement, I'll speak frankly."
"Everyone, humanity has the last 15 years to escape!"
"To be precise, all living things on Earth have only 15 years to escape!"
Lu Yongchang's words were like dropping an atomic bomb in the peaceful meeting place!
In just a moment, the originally quiet Xia Kingdom Assembly Hall became as noisy as a vegetable market!
Lu Yongchang stood on the stage, looking quietly at the people below without saying another word.
He knew in his heart that this shocking news really required some time for everyone to digest.
Gradually, the discussions in the conference hall died down, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Yongchang on the stage.
Only then did he gently click the mouse and switch the PPT being shown on the projector.
"I believe everyone here is familiar with a paper published in Nature some time ago."
"The recent solar activity should have caused a lot of trouble for many people, especially the global aurora last night, which violated all the rules summarized in the past."
"After careful calculations and deductions, we found that the sun has entered its aging period ahead of schedule."
"And it aged much faster than we expected."
"According to the model prediction, the sun will enter the red giant stage within ten years, during which time it will engulf Mercury and Venus at once."
"In fifteen years, the sun will have a helium flash!"
"By then, as the planet closest to the sun, the Earth will be completely melted by the light of the helium flash!"
"…"
There was deathly silence in the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall.
Qiu Tianzhong sat in the chair with a dazed look in his eyes, his dry and skinny hands tightly grasping the armrests beside the seat.
"How is this possible..."
"This, this doesn't make sense!"
Qiu Tianzhong roared in a low voice as if he was crazy.
As a big name in physics in Xia country, Qiu Tianzhong found it difficult to accept this fact for a while.
In just over ten years, the sun will consume most of the energy in the body!
According to common sense, this energy is enough to support the burning of the sun for billions of years!
Where did all this energy go?!
"This does not conform to the law of conservation of energy!!"
Qiu Tianzhong stood up suddenly, his dry hands trembling slightly, and roared loudly!
If something like this really happened, it would be a disaster!
It is not only a disaster for the earth's civilization, but also a disaster for the human knowledge system!
Looking at the old man standing staggeringly on his seat, a trace of pity flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
He had seen too many scenes like this in his previous life.
The more educated you are, the more you cannot accept such changes happening to the sun!
Because it violates all the laws of human cognition!
