Chapter 33: No Need
Unless they proactively announce Jiang Yang’s existence to the whole world, allowing every nation on Earth with certain capabilities to form a joint investigation team to take over Jiang Yang together, only after Jiang Yang truly proves the existence of the apocalypse will those nations have even the slightest possibility of agreeing to this international cooperation.
Just thinking about it, Jiang Yang knew exactly how complicated this matter would be and how tortuous the process would be, with no telling how many messes it would cause.
The most crucial point was that in doing so, his own fate would also escape his and the nation’s control, facing an unknown trajectory.
He didn’t believe those nations would treat him as kindly as his own nation. He might really end up being sliced up for research.
At this moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Jiang Yang’s mind. Finally, he sighed and said solemnly: “If announcing my existence helps achieve international scientific collaboration, I personally have no objection.
It’s just suffering some bad treatment in this life or a few lives; worst case, after getting the intelligence, I just don’t announce it in the new cycle.
To resolve the apocalypse, for the nation and the continuation of civilization, I think it’s worth it.”
At this moment, Lu Zhaoming’s gaze toward Jiang Yang was full of respect.
Gu Changshan, who had been sitting silently behind Jiang Yang, suddenly made a move.
He stood up, walked behind Jiang Yang, and his figure appeared in the virtual meeting room, gently patting Jiang Yang’s shoulder.
Jiang Yang turned his head in some confusion to look at him, then heard this unparalleled ruthless man say calmly: “Comrade Jiang Yang, I greatly respect your determination and spirit to devote yourself to the nation, but… it’s not necessary.”
In the virtual meeting room, countless gazes converged on Gu Changshan at the same time.
In the screen, a faint smile appeared on Sun Changhe’s face.
“Indeed, it’s not necessary.”
He turned to Lu Zhaoming: “Professor Lu, rest assured, the matter of mobilizing neutrino telescopes and gravitational wave telescopes from other nations will be handled by the nation, and there will be results in at most five days.
At the same time, as far as I know, the construction progress of the Sen Mountain Neutrino Telescope and the Qinghu Lake Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Telescope has reached about 75% and 80% respectively.
The nation will mobilize all its power to support the construction of these two telescopes, at any cost.
Professor Lu, your task is to organize the expert team, guide the construction, and ensure they are completed before the apocalypse arrives, so as to collect relevant information when the apocalypse comes, send key intelligence to us in the next life, and pass hope to the next life.
You need not worry about anything else.”
Sun Changhe’s words were resounding and full of unshakable determination.
Professor Lu Zhaoming slowly straightened his body and said solemnly: “Yes, mission guaranteed to be accomplished.”
At this moment, the overall strategy and specific task arrangements for this life’s cycle were complete. As Jiang Yang expected, the title of Doomsday Plan Commander-in-Chief still fell on his head, and the titles of head of the scientific verification team and intelligence analysis team, as well as on-site commander, still fell on Lu Zhaoming and Gu Changshan.
The meeting ended.
Looking at the blackened screen in front of him, breathing the somewhat stuffy air of the underground base, Jiang Yang suddenly felt that everything around him seemed unchanged, yet also completely different from before.
He knew that the massive state apparatus had begun operating at this moment.
This time, who knew how much manpower and material resources would be invested.
Closing his eyes and slightly easing his somewhat fatigued thoughts, he looked at Gu Changshan: “How do you plan to handle the international scientific research cooperation? Those few nations aren’t on good terms with us. Uh, is it classified? If classified, forget it.”
Gu Changshan said seriously: “From the moment you became the Doomsday Plan Commander-in-Chief, you have the highest clearance level and can know all intelligence related to the Doomsday Plan.
Our way of solving the problem is very simple.”
Listening to the words coming from Gu Changshan’s mouth, Jiang Yang was full of shock, staring with wide eyes in disbelief.
“It can be done like that? Aren’t you afraid that…”
“There is nothing in this world that can make us afraid anymore.”
Gu Changshan’s eyes were full of icy coldness: “The apocalypse is coming, and we will no longer heed those rules and restrictions.”
Jiang Yang’s heart completely settled.
Having completed the most important matter of this life’s cycle, Jiang Yang rested for a moment and then got up again.
“Still need to hurry and study… Otherwise, I won’t even understand what those charts say.”
Just like in the previous life, Gu Changshan had already found a physics teacher team for him, and just like in the previous life, it was still Wang Dashan and the others.
But before starting to study, he had to settle Zhou Yu first.
Without a beauty by his side providing emotional value, it would be hard to persist in such a boring task as studying.
It’s for defeating the apocalypse, for humanity, for the nation that I need this emotional value; after all, psychological and physiological research both show that learning efficiency is higher with an attractive opposite sex nearby. It’s absolutely not for personal gain or lusting after beauty, absolutely not!
Walking out of the restroom, Gu Changshan came face to face.
“The psychological support team has been assembled, and Comrade Zhou Yu has agreed to serve as your personal secretary.”
“Good.”
Arriving at Zhou Yu’s room, Jiang Yang gently knocked on the door.
“Please come in.”
The voice was full of fatigue and bewilderment. Jiang Yang pushed open the door and saw Zhou Yu sitting there dazedly, seemingly not yet recovered from the shock of her previous conversation with Gu Changshan.
Seeing Jiang Yang’s figure, Zhou Yu instinctively stood up.
“Um… You know everything now, right? This morning’s prank wasn’t my idea; it was the previous life’s you who made me do it.
By the way, you’re pretty clever, deliberately digging a pit for me to jump into.”
Zhou Yu squeezed out a smile like crying and said softly: “Let me take a moment to process, just a moment.”
Jiang Yang sighed.
She had just stayed up all night, planning to grab some breakfast and go back to catch up on sleep, but ended up brought here. After a scare, came the bombshell of the world apocalypse; even he wouldn’t be able to accept it.
Sitting lost in her seat for a while, Zhou Yu got up and sprawled out on the bed, staring at the ceiling in silence.
Hmm?
This life’s Zhou Yu seemed a bit different from before…
In their first meeting before, though she appeared relaxed on the surface, Jiang Yang could always sense the tension in her heart.
Facing a stranger, being tense is normal; only after gradually getting familiar later would she relax.
And now, at their first meeting, she was already this relaxed in front of him?
As if noticing Jiang Yang’s surprise, Zhou Yu said casually: “The previous life’s me letting you play that joke on this life’s me proves that in the previous life, I was very close to you.
Since we’re that close, might as well be casual.
Sigh, the apocalypse…”
Zhou Yu was still immersed in the shock and heaviness of this news, unable to extricate herself.
Jiang Yang was stunned for a moment and felt bad himself.
Sun Changhe is who he is, so passing information through me secretly is one thing, but you, a mere little girl, actually doing the same, and crucially, succeeding…
