They can't afford to gamble, and they can't back out.
From the moment the theory of parallel worlds emerged, the coalition government was in a passive position.
After all, in the face of an extinction-level crisis, they must reach a multi-faceted cooperation with the consortium, regardless of the cost.
Of course, this is all on the premise that these things are true; otherwise, there's no point in saying more.
Upon entering the eco-park, the idyllic rural environment truly offered a different kind of hope to people from all countries.
However, if this number is increased to 35 billion, the force field barrier seems to be insufficient.
Hao Xiaoxi looked up at the dome, her gaze falling on the faintly visible energy barrier that glowed with a pale blue light.
With a hint of anticipation in his voice, he asked, "President Lu, this energy shield... if used to withstand the impact of a meteorite, can it hold up?"
Lu Qianwei thought for a moment, then, without exaggerating, said truthfully, "That depends on the size of the meteorite."
"Moreover, the energy technology used in this eco-park was not designed with impact resistance in mind."
It's perfectly capable of deflecting conventional missiles or mitigating the shockwave, heat, and radiation from a nuclear explosion.
"But it wouldn't work if we were to directly confront a nuclear bomb."
Seeing a slight darkening in Hao Xiaoxi's eyes, Lu Qianwei added at the opportune moment:
"However, our multi-faceted consortium does indeed possess large-scale protective shields capable of withstanding meteorite impacts."
"But that level of defense system consumes an enormous amount of energy to activate even once."
Upon hearing this, Hao Xiaoxi's secretary, Zhou Tai, had a bright idea and couldn't help but interject, "Can this technology be sold to us?"
Is there an energy barrier that covers the entire Earth?
"I'm sorry, our energy technology has not yet reached the planetary level."
"I'm afraid it's impossible to cover the entire planet." Lu Qianwei was somewhat embarrassed.
Goodness, no wonder it's called The Wandering Earth.
If such a skill were truly available for sale, he was absolutely certain that the coalition government would actually do it.
Hao Xiaoxi looked apologetically at Lu Qianwei, "President Lu, please forgive my rudeness. This is my secretary, Zhou Tai."
The young man was impatient and spoke rudely; please don't mind.
"It's alright~" Lu Qianwei waved his hand with a smile, "I understand your current situation. Anyone would feel the same way."
"Our meeting here is a new opportunity and a turning point for both of us."
In fact, the parallel world we live in isn't much more peaceful either...
Upon arriving at the portal, Lu Qianwei gestured for them to proceed.
Chapter 93 Avatar
From the moment Hao Xiaoxi led countries into the time portal, the truth was already clear.
Lu Qianwei's approach was very direct; rhetoric was not important in the face of real facts.
With the relocation of population and machinery from the clan alliance, Starlight City is no longer the desolate place it once was.
With abundant meat and vegetable supplies as incentives, the manpower of hundreds of thousands of people was almost maximized, and the city changed almost every day.
Even the dozen or so dismantled eco-parks were moved here by the bunker, who dug up the land three feet deep and loaded it onto trucks.
A group of Devouring Beasts excitedly rushed through layers of checkpoints, arriving at a densely populated human area, hoping to have a hearty meal and gain the qualification for evolution.
All that remained before them was a patchwork of pitted and uneven ground.
When Hao Xiaoxi and her companions crossed the time portal, they enjoyed a long-awaited meal of hometown cuisine in Fenghuo City.
The next morning, they arrived at Starlight City, five kilometers away from the fortress. What appeared before them was a rather futuristic city.
Even setting aside the city, the desolate landscape surrounding the basin was far better than their icy, snowy environment.
After spending the morning visiting Star City, the group, under Lu Qianwei's arrangement, rushed to Gina Star and then to Water World.
At this moment, Hao Xiaoxi and the others truly understood the meaning of the time portal and parallel worlds.
Lu Qianwei extended an invitation without hesitation.
He wouldn't let go of the 35 billion people and terrifying infrastructure capabilities of The Wandering Earth.
Before even crossing the asteroid belt, and with the timing coinciding with this period, it was impossible for the coalition government to refuse to join.
Judging from their attitude, the matter is already a done deal.
However, who should represent The Wandering Earth in the multi-faceted alliance is a question that they will inevitably have to answer internally.
However, the coalition government's efficiency surprised Lu Qianwei. In just three days, they elected Hao Xiaoxi as their representative.
For the coalition government, whether or not to fight is not actually important.
Entering the era of escape, there are many sordid things said to happen inside, but they have long been united as one.
The people in the Water World and even the Ling Cage World all have Eastern faces, so sending Hao Xiaoxi to serve as a representative is naturally better than sending a foreign face.
And that was pretty much the case, after a warm welcoming ceremony.
After hearing about the predicament and plea for help faced by World Three, Li Wenxuan, Dong Mingxi, and Bai Yuekui all decided to donate a batch of equipment and supplies.
Lu Qianwei was even more direct, revealing the Jupiter crisis through his prophetic abilities.
While Xihe was conducting big data model simulations, Hao Xiaoxi was immediately prompted to return to the United Government headquarters for another meeting.
The meeting concluded that 80% of the participants agreed to halt the Earth's wandering project.
Now there's a time portal connecting to other worlds, and we've also received a cross-time and space disaster relief agreement.
They weren't in such a hurry to take Earth to a galaxy 4.2 light-years away.
If possible, they would prefer to build a stargate the size of Earth, allowing them to travel directly there using the Alliance's teleportation technology.
As for the plan to return to Earth's original trajectory, take advantage of the sun's remaining lifespan of several hundred years, and fully develop parallel universes to achieve a technological explosion and save the country through indirect means, no one dared to mention it.
If they were to do that, their original "Wandering Earth" plan would be a joke, and they would have to face the problem of 35 billion deaths.
Although they are pretending not to know now, some of the elderly people who pushed this matter forward, after learning the inside story, could not bear the pressure in their hearts and chose to atone with their deaths!
Once they return, it's questionable whether the coalition government will even exist.
Therefore, before this ideological work is done well, no one will be foolish enough to raise this opinion.
With the resolution to halt the journey of the wandering Earth issued, the plasma beams of the 12,000 planetary engines worldwide began to be gradually reduced.
Ultimately, only a few engines near the equator remained anchored in space.
Letting that little broken ball drift around would be far more dangerous than a Jupiter crisis.
…………
Two months have passed since the Earth stopped moving forward, and the United Government announced that it would carry out ecological civilization construction on the surface through an energy field shield.
In the past two months, with the physical presence of the No. 1 Eco-Park, the public has not questioned the coalition government.
On the contrary, they became enthusiastic after seeing the idyllic rural environment on TV.
They are all calling for and vying for the location and quota for the construction of the second ecological park.
……
Wang Lei's patrol team was lucky because they were among the first to come into contact with the consortium.
They were fortunate enough to be selected as the first soldiers to join the Multiverse Alliance and fight in parallel worlds.
Although they still couldn't get their hands on the power armor they had been longing for, almost the entire army was equipped with the new mechanical exoskeleton armor.
The consortium is not hesitant to provide power armor to the soldiers of Waterworld and The Wandering Earth.
There's simply not enough production capacity; power armor just looks like a big iron shell.
However, many of the technologies used in it cannot be manufactured by the military industry of The Wandering Earth and Water World.
Due to the appearance of the Devouring Beasts in the Ling Cage world, some technical materials are quite scarce.
One is permafrost, the other is the sea; neither can provide the materials needed for armor.
In response, Lu Qianwei went out again to hunt down a batch of Devouring Beasts and absorb their energy, and then decided to open another portal to spacetime.
The portal still opened on the 13th basement level of the Dark Fortress.
The original hatch leading to the Wandering Earth has been moved to a different location under the large iron gate provided by the United Government.
As the hatch slowly opened, the soldiers, who had been on high alert, fell silent as they looked at the dusty environment behind it.
"Damn it, is this going to be another apocalyptic world?" Wang Lei, who was lucky enough to be selected as a member of the vanguard force, muttered speechlessly as he sat inside the armored vehicle.
These days, he has been cramming on what happened in the Water World and the Spirit Cage World.
I have a feeling that the quantum entanglement caused by the apocalyptic world led them to similar situations in the parallel worlds they arrived in.
Looking at the dusty environment behind the door, Lu Qianwei also felt an urge to curse at the rumors circulating about him.
"Same as always, Irina, send someone to investigate."
Upon receiving the order, the three armed airships that had been hovering at the front of the formation immediately sped off in a triangular formation, heading in different directions.
During this time, the monitoring vehicle that entered the new world discovered the unique environment of this planet.
"The planet has an oxygen content of 21.8%, which is almost the same as Earth's."
"But fatally, the carbon dioxide concentration was as high as 17.2%, and it also contained trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia."
"In other words, going out without a mask will result in unconsciousness in twenty seconds and death in four minutes," the researcher said gravely, pointing to the data on the panel.
Chapter 94 The Ash Clan
The fact that a planet is toxic does not mean that life does not exist on that planet.
Looking down from the sky, the armed airships moving into the distance clearly show the deep green and blue-green ecological forests beyond the wasteland, and you can vaguely see many black dots soaring in the air.
With the optical lens focused, the fluorescent forest scenery gradually came into focus.
"Wow, this is definitely not Earth!" Zhao Ang exclaimed in surprise. "I feel like we've entered a fantasy world."
