The argument continued into the morning. om
But it doesn't matter. There is no concept of night and day in the shelter.
The topic of discussion has evolved from "the merits and demerits of the shelter director" to "what to do next." I have to say that this is a great progress.
Energy, you cannot survive without energy. Water purifiers will stall, organic farms will shut down, UV lights will go out, and even air filtration in vents will stop working. From complete power outage to shelter collapse, it only takes 10 minutes!
Perhaps stimulated by the quarrel on the conference table, Shi Yongtian, who had been shivering in his chair, suddenly stood up, slapped the table and shouted angrily.
"War! Only war can solve all problems! We should declare war on the indigenous people on the ground! Don't they have nuclear fusion cores in their hands? Let's just snatch it from them. Not only do these thugs illegally occupy the land, they are also armed Resist. And rebel against them! We should show them some color and teach them the etiquette and restraint that civilized people should have! The glory of PAC will be immortal!"
The angry roar temporarily drowned out all the sounds on the conference table.
Wu Yaguo, who was interrupted in his speech, looked over blankly. Han Junhua, whose expression was always calm, just glanced at him. Even Tian Feng, who had been staring at the ground, raised his head and gave him a strange look.
Shi Yongtian's Adam's apple moved, and his hands on the table shook like epilepsy.
After a moment, he sat back stiffly.
"Ahem." Wu Yaguo coughed lightly, "Shi Yongtian, why don't you go back and rest first."
Shi Yongtian glanced at him gratefully, then stood up stiffly and limped out of the conference room.
Seeing the door closed, Wu Yaguo slowly spoke. This time his tone was much gentler, and there was no more quarrelsome tone.
"Although this angry resident is just an emotional expression, it also provides us with ideas for future development, doesn't it? We can completely use foreign war to solve the energy crisis."
"It's impossible to win." Tian Feng suddenly raised his head. Having seen the strength of that group of people with his own eyes, he felt that he needed to remind the decision-makers, "Heavy machine guns, drones, sentry guns. Even powered armor. Our security forces are only wartime police, not frontal troops fighting Nato, and are not equipped with heavy firepower equipment at all."
"Hell, you are training with taxpayers' money, why can't you suppress a mob?" Wu Yaguo couldn't help but curse.
"However, that mob was not a mob. What's more, training cannot fill the gap in equipment." Tian Feng said helplessly.
"Where are those man-eating beasts? Didn't you win?" Wu Yaguo asked.
Tian Feng smiled, but the smile was a little bitter.
The most painful thing for a soldier is to explain war to people who have not participated in it.
"The surface armed forces are divided into different sizes. Some are as powerful as the fish bone base, while others are stragglers. They fight on their own."
"Then pick someone who can beat you!" Wu Yaguo said impatiently.
"It is illegal to plunder from victims and survivors."
"Legal? Ha! Those people are lawbreakers. They committed murder, robbery, and insulting corpses! Aren't you a security force? Don't you think they shouldn't die?"
Tian Feng didn't speak, his mind was a little confused.
Of course he believed that those devils deserved to be punished with the most severe punishment. But they were just wartime police. He is not a judge and has no right to make decisions on the property ownership of offenders. Picking up the fusion core from the corpse and taking it to the shelter for use was a serious violation of discipline.
A robber who robs a robber is also a robber in legal terms.
But he did not refute Wu Yaguo's views.
What's the point of enforcing PAC laws if PAC no longer exists? What's the significance of the military rank on his collar
"What do you think? As the director of the shelter, is this how you do nothing?" Wu Yaguo looked at Han Junhua.
Glancing at Wu Yaguo, Han Junhua spoke slowly.
"madness."
Wu Yaguo's face turned livid, and his teeth clenched. But instead of getting angry, he smiled and said: "Stupid? Are you stupid for not doing anything, or am I stupid for not doing anything, or am I stupid for being a resident representative and putting myself in the shoes of the entire refuge?"
"Of course it's you."
"You!" Wu Yaguo stood up with support on the table.
However, Han Junhua did not give him any face.
"I don't know what considerations the old director had to make such a stupid decision to elect resident representatives among the residents. Understand public opinion? This is a refuge, not a resort."
"Okay, Xiaohua, calm down and stop saying that. Since you have an idea, why not explain it well?" Academician Qin sighed.
"Because there is no need at all. The masses' vision is narrow."
After hearing what Han Junhua said, Academician Qin smiled bitterly and turned to look at Wu Yaguo.
"Can I tell a story?"
"Say." Although he was angry, he still respected the old man very much.
"A poor man and a rich man lived together in a community. Because the police maintained order, the two lived in peace and harmony. But suddenly one day, the order that had always existed disappeared overnight. Then what happened next What happens down there?”
Wu Yaguo swallowed and began to realize the seriousness of the problem.
"What we should consider now is not who to snatch the nuclear fusion core from, but how to ensure that we will not be plundered by survivors on the surface. There is not only one trouble facing the refuge." Academician Qin sighed.
"If these things spread among ordinary residents, they will only increase unnecessary panic." Han Junhua glanced at Academician Qin.
"But if you don't say anything, the residents will also feel panic." Academician Qin smiled kindly.
Han Junhua said no more and fell into deep thought.
With his eyes shaking, Wu Yaguo spoke with difficulty: "Then before they reach out, plunder enough nuclear fusion cores, and then close the door of the shelter. As long as we don't open the door."
"We can't hide forever."
After a pause, Academician Qin continued to speak.
"There is no essential difference between being closed for 20 years and being closed for 50 years. It will only make the gap between us and the survivors on the surface wider and wider."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Wu Yaguo yelled in collapse.
"Now that the shelter has been opened in advance, the environment on the surface is not so bad that we cannot survive. We should return to the surface, establish contact with surface survivors, and even rebuild our homes."
"The surface? What's there? There's just a group of primitive people who eat raw hair and drink blood. Even if they can use gunpowder and master technology, they are still primitive people! Dirty environment, suffocating radioactive dust, disgusting mutant creatures, I don't think we We should leave the shelter! There are warm beds, clean water, and fresh food here. There is no need for us to leave here." Wu Yaguo retorted.
Ignoring Wu Yaguo, Han Junhua looked at Academician Qin.
"The Fishbone Base has obtained information about our energy shortage. If nothing else happens, they should already be discussing how to attack us. Do you have any good ideas?"
This was the first time she used a tone of inquiry.
"Then start communication or transactions with them."
"A transaction can only establish equal conditions for both parties. And they have already grasped our weaknesses. If they can easily force us to surrender, there is no reason why they would choose to trade." Han Junhua said solemnly.
"As long as the weakness no longer exists." Academician Qin lowered his head.
"Really?" Han Junhua also fell into deep thought.
"What are you talking about?" Wu Yaguo couldn't help but asked while watching the riddle between the two.
But no one responded to him.
Because spreading some things will only increase unnecessary panic.
The silence lasted for a long time, and Han Junhua suddenly spoke and announced: "Let the meeting adjourn."
Tian Feng, who breathed a sigh of relief and could not sit still for a long time, took the lead to leave the conference room. Wu Yaguo twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing and turned around to leave.
After getting up tremblingly, Academician Qin stopped beside Han Junhua as he passed by, sighed and said.
"Have you made your decision?"
"Um."
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Academician Qin nodded and left the conference room.
As if in an instant, the originally noisy conference room became deserted, and only Han Junhua was left.
"Humanity?"
After a long time, she slowly uttered these words of unclear meaning.
Chewing these words repeatedly, Han Junhua shook his head, stood up and walked out of the door. (.)
