According to the middle-aged man's description, the world today is a bit like the period of warlord separatism. Initially, the country arranged for the survivors to enter the base, but later some leaders of the base became disloyal.
There is no way, there is not enough food and energy.
Without sunlight and fertile soil, how could the food yield underground be high? Energy is all above ground, and one must risk being killed by meteorites at any time to search for it. The best way is to rob.
In addition, the base is closed, and a leader in the base can be said to be a local tyrant. Power corrupts people, and the end of the world makes people despair. In this era without laws and order, when food and clothing cannot be guaranteed and morality is lost in the face of life, what can't happen
The middle-aged man said that fortunately his wife and daughter froze to death immediately and died in their sleep, so they didn't have to suffer this pain. Women have a harder time in this world, especially young and beautiful women.
Liang Xian silently put on the protective suit for him, and the middle-aged man showed a look of gratitude in his eyes.
“You… Even if you travel day and night, don’t you lack oxygen?” The end of the world gave people a wild intuition. The middle-aged man felt that the people in front of him were not bad people. They still retained the kindness that could only be found in peacetime.
Three people: “…”
They had protective shields made by Tan Yan on their heads. Now that the sun was rising, Tan Yan saw the burns on the middle-aged man's face and naturally expanded the protective shield to cover his entire body. The three of them felt as comfortable as if they were in an air-conditioned room and did not feel uncomfortable at all.
"You haven't seen people like us in this world?" Liang Xian asked, "People who can walk outside without wearing protective clothing? People are adaptable. Is it possible that no one has evolved the ability to adapt to the end of the world?"
The middle-aged man's face was full of confusion.
The three looked at Tan Yan.
Tan Yan looked innocent. He got this power in the world after the "void"...
Seeing that he really wasn't lying, the three decided to put the matter aside for the time being and discuss it again when they returned to the real world.
Liang Xian whispered to Ah San: "Actually, you are our superior. Report to the superior, I want to do something."
"What's the matter?" asked Ah San.
"What I just said about improving wheat's drought tolerance was not just nonsense, but I have actually seen this information," Liang Xian said. "It was just researched by the Academy of Sciences. I was fortunate to visit and learn about it at the time, and I wrote down some of the information. Of course, not all of it, but only the key parts about genetic changes. I want to pass this information on to the people of this world."
Ah San just looked at the bitter middle-aged man and said simply: "I don't know."
The fact that Liang Xian would submit an application instead of handing over the information directly meant that it must involve confidential information. This type of wheat has not yet been promoted nationwide or even worldwide, and if it is disclosed in advance, it would be a leak.
The crime of leaking state secrets is not something a student like Liang Xian can bear.
"What counts as a leak?" asked Tan Yan.
"The crime of intentionally leaking state secrets refers to the act of a state organ staff violating the provisions of the State Secrets Law and intentionally leaking state secrets, with serious circumstances. The so-called state secrets refer to matters related to the security and interests of the state, determined in accordance with legal procedures, and only known to a certain range of people within a certain period of time. According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, only intentional disclosure of state secrets with serious circumstances constitutes a crime." Liang Xian mechanically recited the legal provisions, "According to Article 8 of the Law on Guarding State Secrets, secret matters in science and technology are also a type of state secrets."
"Then who can't you disclose the confidentiality agreement you signed to?"
"It can only be handed over to domestic technical personnel and is not allowed to be leaked to other countries and social enterprises in any form, causing losses to domestic agriculture." Liang Xian said.
"If the information is given to people in this world, will our country's agriculture be impacted?" asked Tan Yan.
"No." Liang Xian shook his head.
Two worlds, two eras, if it weren't for the existence of 'void', there wouldn't even be any intersection.
"So, do you think they are from our country?"
"Their world has diverged from our world's history since the Republic of China, but everything before that was the same. They are all... Chinese people with yellow skin, black eyes and speaking Chinese. The history is less than 200 years old, and the blood flowing in their veins is still the same." Liang Xian said, "From the perspective of genetics and ethnology, the ethnic heritage is still there, the genes have not changed, and we are all people of the same race."
The more he spoke, the more determined his tone became, and by the last sentence, he no longer needed Tan Yan's reminder.
"Our country's laws do not mention the situation after entering another world. Unless my incident has caused huge losses to the country and the country has amended the laws, I will not be considered to have violated the law, right?" Liang Xian said to Asan.
Ah San slapped his thigh and said in a more relaxed tone, "Yes, there is no such thing."
"Second." Everyone had finished speaking, and Qin Li could only raise his hand to agree.
The middle-aged man who had been listening to them with his ears perked up was surprised and asked on his knees, "Do you want to give me some information that can increase wheat production?"
Liang Xian said seriously: "First, I don't know your current level of technology, and I don't know whether the information can be useful to you; second, I am not giving it to you, I am giving it to the country."
Giving it to just one base will only cause more disputes. Only by giving it to everyone can we solve the problem of everyone being hungry. Although it is the end of the world and the earth's environment is no longer suitable for human survival, as long as people have not given up hope and as long as everyone is still alive, they will definitely be able to come up with a solution to the current situation.
"You should have a network, right? Every base should have one, a network to communicate with the government."
The disappearance of the atmosphere does not mean the disappearance of the satellite. Moreover, the country arranged for people from different regions to enter the base, but now the transportation is inconvenient and difficult to control, which has caused some people in the base to have different intentions.
"Yes, but it's inside the base..." The middle-aged man lost interest when he saw that Liang Xian was not going to give him the information to make a contribution, "How can someone of my level know where it is?"
"Inside the base..." Liang Xian was very hesitant.
The current base is different from their world. People's minds are unpredictable. Who knows if they will do anything to monopolize the information? He doesn't even know whether the information is useful. Is he going to let his partners take risks for this
"Damn it. If I do it, I might end up dying, and I might not be able to return to Earth to send the information out. If I don't do it, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life, and I might have nightmares when I think of this man's face. It's so depressing!" Asan said with bated breath.
"Split into two groups," Liang Xian made the decision immediately. "You three wait outside. I'm going to the base. If I don't come back within six hours, you leave."
This is good. They have done their best for their fellow countrymen far away in another world and can complete the mission successfully.
It was his own decision to hand over the information, and there was no need to implicate others.
This is what Liang Xian always does. It neither affects the mission nor leaves him with a guilty conscience.
I just think too little of myself.
"No." The three of them objected collectively.
"At worst, I won't give it to you. I've lived with a clear conscience before," Ah San said, "but I can't afford to lose a brother."
"You still have to lead us to complete the military training mission," Qin Li grabbed Ah San's shoulder, "This is our prisoner."
Ah San: “…”
He still needed to give some information to the students who captured him, but he suddenly came to a different world and forgot about it.
"I'll go with you," Tan Yan raised his head and touched Liang Xian's hair, "Didn't I tell you, just do what you want to do, and leave the rest to me."
Over the past forty years, he has entered the other world countless times. How is it possible that he has never come into contact with the people here
He also tried to explore the world behind the "void" and wanted to use his power to help the people here. But after all, they were two different worlds, and everything he did was in vain.
Tan Yan once brought a seriously injured person from another world to Earth, but that person disappeared halfway through the journey, and he was the only one who returned to Earth. He also thought about staying here to help the people in the last days find a place to live before leaving, but human hearts are too complicated, and he, who is simple and upright, will eventually be used by others.
Gradually, Tan Yan gave up caring. He blocked his ears, closed his eyes, hardened his heart, and tried his best not to contact the people and things in the other world. Every time he only thought about how to return to his original world as soon as possible.
Despite this, when he encounters people and animals struggling to survive, he can't help but help them, and he still feels sad when he finds out that his own power is so limited.
He was too tired. What made him tired was not the years of work, but the pain of having the will but not the strength.
Tan Yan wants to do his best for the country and then retire at the end. It’s not that he doesn’t want to do anything, but he is too tired.
Turning a blind eye and hardening his heart will not make him numb, it will only make him more tired.
This time, the information Liang Xian provided was different from what he had done before. It was seeds.
It is the seed that enables people to survive, it is the hope for life, and it is the future that can help people get through this difficult apocalypse.
Compared to his simple and mindless power, science and technology are indeed the spark that can sustain life.
Liang Xian and others were once stunned by his power, but Tan Yan always believed that it was such insignificant power. Violence without the control of the brain will always be just a tool. The truly powerful ones are intellectuals like them who can face mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology head-on.
"We will follow him to the base," Tan Yan said confidently, "I can get everyone back. Please feel free to use my power. Trust me. You are still young. Don't take your life lightly, and don't do anything that you will regret."
Isn't it the goal of the older generation to let young people do what they want to do
Tan Yan rubbed Liang Xian's head hard, his love almost overflowing.
Uh… the love of elders for younger ones.
Liang Xian: "…Take your hands away!"
How disrespectful!
