Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 164 Doomsday Charge
"agree."

"agree."

Sun Changhe's proposal was quickly approved by many attendees. The second item on the agenda then began.

Regarding the question of "how to let Jiang Yang bring more valuable information to the next life," there is actually not much need to discuss Jiang Yang's placement, because people only have one choice.

This plan was finalized two months ago.

When the apocalypse comes, since Earth is not safe, and since no matter where one is on Earth, they will die quickly when the apocalypse arrives, making it impossible to transmit information or retain memories, then the only option is to send Jiang Yang into space.

What really needs to be discussed is the "valuable information" aspect.

Because Jiang Yang's memory is limited and he cannot carry too much information, several very important questions arise.

What information is actually valuable?

How do we collect this information? And in what way do we present it to Jiang Yang?
After a period of discussion, the leader of the decision-making group looked at Jiang Yang and said, "Comrade Jiang Yang, we hope that you can go to space."

Currently, we have a total of 26 space stations around Earth, among which Space Station 6 is the largest, has the most astronauts, and is the most well-equipped.

We have already completed the modification of it ahead of schedule, and there is a device there that is connected to the Earth-1 supercomputer.

When the apocalypse arrives, the data acquired by the Earth monitoring network will be transmitted in real time to the Earth-1 supercomputer for processing. This data will be integrated with important data obtained through actual verification and research in this life, such as key technologies for engineering manufacturing and ion drilling equipment, and data on the mantle structure under normal conditions. Through a series of compression algorithms, a final image will be generated.

Yes, just like in the first apocalypse, you carried the same form of information.

Comrade Jiang Yang, this is not an order, but a request.

On behalf of everyone in this world, the entire decision-making and deliberative council of the World Government makes this request: We hope you can bring this data to the next life to help us overcome the apocalypse.

Faced with these solemn and weighty words, Jiang Yang slowly stood up, met the gazes of thousands, and slowly raised his arm.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

The head of the decision-making group solemnly said, "Please sit down."

Jiang Yang sat down.

"The meeting will now be adjourned for one hour, after which we will discuss how to explain this to the world."

The series of complex decisions had drained the energy of everyone present. Even those who were in this position, full of energy, had to take a break.

Jiang Yang got up and walked side by side with Zhou Yu to their private lounge.

"I will not attend the following meetings."

Zhou Yu didn't ask why, she just nodded.

An hour passed quickly, and Zhou Yu got up and left the lounge. Jiang Yang lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

He knew that this meeting was actually meaningless to him.

Ultimately, it makes no difference to the world government what decision it makes—whether it decides to reveal the truth about the failed salvation effort to the public or to keep it a secret for the sake of stability.

They're all the same. Neither will affect the next cycle of reincarnation in the slightest.

The next life will still be a "brand new" world.

But for people in this world, this is very important, extremely important.

Because no matter how many times it has been repeated, for everyone except oneself, this is a unique experience in life. Whether or not the future can be repeated, death in this life is real.

However, from the perspective of all human civilization, and from the perspective of a member of human civilization, no one wants human civilization to lose all dignity and become like beasts when it finally perishes.

This seems to suggest that people will eventually conceal the truth, such as announcing that they have found the cause of the apocalypse, and then in the last few days, they will stage a "doomsday rush" to attract people's attention and let them unknowingly welcome the end of the world.

Although the lies will inevitably be exposed and people will eventually realize they have been deceived, the end of the world has already come, so it doesn't matter anymore.

However, the key issue is that, faced with a situation that will not affect the next life, this life still allows people to face the end of the world amidst lies, which remains a psychological challenge for the participants.

No matter what choice you make, there will be corresponding risks and regrets.

A real dilemma.

What will be your final choice?

Lost in thought, Zhou Yu walked in after an unknown amount of time had passed when the door opened.

"After careful consideration and discussion, the World Government has decided to conceal the truth."

Zhou Yu stated the final result directly: "The World Government will claim that a solution to the apocalypse has been found, and will create a fake target to launch the doomsday charge, allowing this arrow to be fired."

Jiang Yang sighed softly.

He wouldn't be surprised by the final outcome. He was just a little curious about the reasons behind this decision: "Why?"

"People don't want to see moral collapse, value collapse, and all the malice hidden deep in people's hearts erupt."

This is not merely a disaster for morality and values, but a disaster for those who uphold morality and values ​​to the very end.

"Oh? Does the World Government believe that despite so many years of unity education, people still cannot withstand the final test?"

Yes, but so what?

The purpose of a world government is not to teach everyone to uphold morality even when faced with trials, but to prevent people from being tested. The goal of all these efforts is to continuously develop technology, improve the material conditions of every individual, and greatly enhance public security.

Only when granaries are full can people know etiquette; only when people are well-fed and clothed can they know honor and shame. What the world government should do is not force people to know etiquette and honor and shame, but rather fill people's granaries with food, and people will naturally know etiquette; when people are well-fed and clothed, people will naturally know honor and shame.

Even through lies?

"Yes, even if it's through lies."

Zhou Yu's expression was full of determination: "Just like how we would use some lies to deceive the elderly so that they could spend the last moment of their lives without any regrets."

Jiang Yang sighed again: "In any case, it's good that a decision has been made."

Zhou Yu sat gently beside Jiang Yang, nestled in his arms, and asked, "Are you leaving soon?"

"It should be soon."

Zhou Yu remained silent. After a long while, she stood up and slowly but firmly pushed Jiang Yang down onto the bed.

"I'm so scared..."

At this moment, Jiang Yang knew exactly what he should do.
