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 of Yunhai City pressed a button and interrupted: "Let me add that most substances can actually pass through the safe zone in the form of molecules. For example, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc."

"Water in the lake can also enter the safe zone."

Edward was stunned for a moment: "That's true... But how big a molecule can pass through the safe zone still needs to be tested."

"And the speed of time passing in Pangu Continent is one hundred times that inside the safe zone."

"Only if the national vote is held to abolish the safe zone, this light curtain will disappear, and at the same time, the ratio of time passing will be normal."

The one hundred times time flow rate ratio makes observing the outside world from the safe zone 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; insects are like missiles.

"We observed many common plants and animals on the Pangaea continent."

"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 is the passage of time controlled?"

Professor Zhang smiled bitterly: "This question is really beyond the current scientific understanding..."

"I can only answer from the perspective of science fiction. I once read a novel called "The Three-Body Problem". There is a concept in it called a safety statement, which is a low-speed black hole."

"The civilization in the low-speed black hole has a lower speed of light, and the proportion of time passing is different from that in the outside world. They protect themselves from threats by giving up development, and everything is left to fate."

"But is the safety statement really safe? Maybe not... When the universe is destroyed, the civilization in the safety statement will still be destroyed."

"We should be in a similar dilemma."

Li Chunhong understood, nodded gently, and said: "What are the risks of Pangu Continent? Everyone, can you share it?"

This time, each participating civilization expressed their 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 empty eye sockets quietly watching the safe zone.

This is not a real dark cloud, nor a human head, but an unknown supernatural phenomenon.

"It appeared near Buenos Aires, the 15th branch of civilization... 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 ratio outside the safe zone is 100 times that of the earth, it watched the Pangu continent for about 12 days and then left."

12 days, converted to 2.88 hours.

"I want to ask, does any city have 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 is limited by national strength and does not have strong military capabilities.

However, no one answered this question.

"Did we bring it?" Li Chunhong whispered.

"No... We only have some conventional weapons."

"How can coastal cities deploy nuclear bombs..." A colonel said with a dark face.

"If we dig uranium from Pangu Continent, can we make it?"

"The construction of an atomic bomb is not difficult. We still have some industrial capacity in Yunhai City, but we can't do it now. There is no electricity and no centrifuge."

Everyone was silent and a little anxious.

There was also a photo of a dandelion-like thing.

The professor of the city said: "This mysterious dandelion is also contagious."

"Once the fish and birds outside are stuck with white hair, they will be contaminated and grow a lot of white hair, and show zombie characteristics at the same time."

The existence of monsters can be solved with hot weapons.

But how to solve these contagious things?

At least from the current perspective, there is no solution!

"Friends, true democracy has finally appeared."

"If a city is really revoked of its safety zone because of a referendum, please share the information. We also want to know whether these wandering monsters will launch an attack."

The faces of everyone in the conference room are not very good, because the masses are a mob, and many people are voting crazily to revoke the safety zone... This group of people will regret it only when they are about to die.

…

Everyone tacitly ignored the question of who “God” is…

After all, everyone present is an upper-class person, and they know deeply that religion is just a tool of rule.

Moreover, God does not show any inclination.

God is not an anthropomorphic existence, but the law of the world.

Really use the scriptures to debate? Hey, that’s what you should do when facing reporters. Real closed-door talks never talk about these.

Next, Professor Zhang Hui from Yunhai City came on stage and gave another message.

Zhang Hui cleared his throat: “Hello, friends.”

"Since entering Pangu Continent, the meteorites owned by various cities have opened up some new functions."

"This circular creation may be a gift from God, or it may be a creation of a certain advanced civilization in the previous 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 lot of information appeared on it. Just press these buttons in sequence to see this information."

Civilization auxiliary management device?

Pangu Continent Ninth Era?

Many leaders fell into deep thought.

But it is undeniable that the amount of information in it is huge!
