Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga
Chapter 31: Humanity's Last Kindness
As a human being, Shen Yun naturally thinks about problems from a human perspective.
Lightning Man is innocent, that's true, but aren't the animals that were wiped out by humans also innocent?
Wouldn't they also be destroyed by humans?
Destroying you is none of your business.
This is arrogance etched into the very bones of humanity.
Shen Yun looked at Dr. Mizuno's pale face; his once meticulously styled hair was now slightly disheveled.
His will alone in this meeting was like a lone boat in a storm.
Faced with this unstoppable trend, his personal will seemed so powerless.
This once energetic middle-aged man seemed to have aged many years in a short period of time.
His graying temples seemed even more glaring at that moment.
Shen Yun knew very well how much effort Dr. Mizuno had put into researching Lightning Man.
The argument around him was quite noisy, but Shen Yun didn't get involved; he just thought they were being noisy.
He gazed quietly at the vibrant, fiery sunset clouds outside the conference room.
Is it the gentle heart that belongs unique to humankind?
Looking at Dr. Mizuno, who stood alone in the conference room, completely at a loss, he felt a pang of sympathy.
Although he knew that the conflict between humans and lightning people had reached a point where it was almost irreconcilable.
But please be more tolerant.
At least give Dr. Mizuno a chance, give Lightning Man a chance.
Shen Yun voiced his objections.
"I oppose Director Yoshioka's proposal."
Tetsuji Yoshioka frowned slightly, his expression displeased, and asked, "Dr. Shen, do you also support Dr. Mizuno's naive idea?"
"No, I just think that Director Yoshioka is being a little too hasty."
Shen Yun crossed his arms, looked calmly at Yoshioka Tetsuji, and said:
"Director Yoshioka, let's not even talk about whether we humans have the ability to eliminate the Lightning Man."
"Even if we have the capability, Chief Yoshioka, do you think our armed forces can handle several Gazorts simultaneously?"
Before Yoshioka could answer, Shen Yun continued, "It's true that the Lightning People pose a threat to humanity, but we humans currently lack the ability to eliminate them."
"If we act rashly and start a war between humans and the Lightning People, we will push the Lightning People to the brink."
"The thing that Director Yoshioka is worried about might actually happen."
"In that case, even if we humans defeat the Lightning Men, our losses will be significant, and the TPC might even face public criticism. It's not worth it."
As a scientist in the TPC Science Bureau, he was naturally familiar with the weapons and equipment within the TPC.
With TPC's current weaponry, eliminating the Lightning Man should be no problem.
However, it is clearly impossible to eliminate multiple Gazorts.
The only things capable of destroying Gazort are the still-under-construction Atdis and the Bakir cannon on the space station.
However, the Bakir cannon on the space station could not be fired at Earth.
The power of the Bakir cannon was too great; a single shot might destroy Gazot, but half the city would also be destroyed.
"Dr. Shen, what do you suggest we do?" Tetsuji Yoshioka asked, his expression softening.
"I think it would be better to give Dr. Mizuno more time and support his research on methods for coexistence between humans and lightning people before the Atdis is completed."
"Once the Atdis is completed, no amount of Gazorts will be a match for humanity."
"At that time, the threat of the Lightning Man will no longer be a threat. What do you think, Director Yoshioka?" Shen Yun asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Mizuno immediately cast a grateful glance at Shen Yun.
"What if Gazort reappears during this time?" Yoshioka asked.
"No, that's not true." Dr. Mizuno interjected, "Gazort's appearance is the product of the Lightning Men cannibalizing each other."
"Lightning beings are intelligent beings just like humans. No one is willing to sacrifice themselves to help others, and the same goes for lightning beings."
"No second Gazort will be born among the Lightning Men anytime soon."
"If we humans start a war and drive the Lightning Man to the brink of destruction, the Lightning Man will surely be able to conjure up many Gazorts in a short time and join the war."
As the first person to study Lightning Man, Dr. Mizuno's words naturally carry a high degree of credibility.
"Short time? How long is that?" Staff Officer Nan Yuan asked.
"After the space power generation project begins. But by then, the mecha will already be completed," Shen Yun replied.
After the space power generation project began, a large amount of microwaves were transmitted from space to the ground.
The Lightning Man's living environment will definitely be severely affected.
In order to survive, the Lightning People will surely build another Gazort and destroy the solar power plant.
However, that's all for next year.
By then, his mech will probably be finished, and he won't have to worry about Gazort anymore.
Yoshioka nodded slightly, without continuing to object or say anything radical.
Shen Yun explained the pros and cons, which was clearly giving him a way out.
He's a hardline hawk, but he's not stupid.
Shen Yun gave him a way out, and he naturally accepted it.
Staff Officer Nan Yuan smiled and agreed, "It would be best if it could be handled safely."
Director Zejing looked around and, finding no one objecting to Shen Yun's proposal, smiled and said:
"Let's settle on that then."
Then, Sawai announced the meeting was adjourned.
The TPC executives in the conference room left one after another.
Dr. Mizuno approached Shen Yun, grasped Shen Yun's hand with gratitude, and said:
"Thanks!"
"Dr. Mizuno, there's no need for thanks. I was just stating the facts; humanity currently lacks the ability to completely eliminate the Lightning People." Shen Yun waved his hand, not taking credit for anything.
He looked at Dr. Mizuno and said, "Dr. Mizuno, the Artdis will be completed in a year at most."
"If Dr. Mizuno cannot find a way for humans and the Lightning People to coexist within this year, then the war between humans and the Lightning People will still break out. It's just a matter of sooner or later."
Dr. Mizuno's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only sighed and said:
I will try my best.
He knew very well that the hope of finding a way for humans and lightning people to coexist within a year was extremely slim.
But no matter how slim the hope, he was determined to give it a try.
Shen Yun reminded him, "Dr. Mizuno, the altitude at which the Lightning Man descended is not far from the flight altitude of a commercial airliner."
"If a commercial airliner were to crash inside, the passengers would likely be devoured by the Lightning Man. This is something we need to be very careful about."
"Ideally, we should develop a device that can detect the Lightning Man, in order to prevent such tragedies from happening as much as possible."
"Otherwise, the conflict between humans and the Lightning People would likely be accelerated."
He remembered that the reason humans waged war against the Lightning People was because the Lightning People had eaten too many humans on commercial airliners.
"I understand." Dr. Mizuno's expression was serious; he naturally knew what Shen Yun meant.
The previous lightning bolt descended to an altitude of 20,000 meters. A few thousand meters below that is the flight altitude of a commercial airliner.
If a commercial airliner were to enter, the consequences would be predictable.
"I'm glad you understand." Shen Yun nodded and got up to leave.
Upon reaching the conference room door, Shen Yun suddenly stopped, his back to Dr. Mizuno, and said:
"Dr. Mizuno, if we want the Lightning People and humans to coexist, we can start by looking at the benefits of their existence. If the Lightning People's existence can bring great benefits to humanity, then I believe that humanity will be able to tolerate their coexistence."
"This is also humanity's way of dealing with other species..."
"The last vestige of kindness!"
