Ideological Work

The people in the venue looked to be in good spirits, but Yue Yuan knew it was only temporary, spurred on by his speech.

To solve this problem, he had to know the root cause of the public's low morale and then address it.

And that root cause... Yue Yuan analyzed it from his own feelings and the reactions of the people these days. He believed it was the fear and bewilderment of the unknown.

That is, the reason for the explosion of the Solar System and the Centaurus Trinary Star System.

On this matter, unless the upper echelons of Callisto give a reasonable definition, this fear, bewilderment, and unease will always be deeply buried in the hearts of the survivors, haunting the Callisto Base society like a persistent ghost.

Because of the unknown, people will worry about whether they will still face unknown threats after returning to the surface, or even another Jupiter explosion, or Callisto being directly destroyed, waiting for all kinds of imagined persecutions.

If they want to unite and strive forward, and actively seek survival, they must remove this influence from the hearts of the people.

But for the current surviving humans, it is impossible to know the real reason, after all, it is impossible for someone to run to ask aliens, right?

Therefore, this requires the leadership of the base to give a reasonable reason, regardless of whether it is the truth or not, as long as it can withstand scrutiny and dispel the fear in people's hearts.

Only by doing a good job in ideological construction can we achieve twice the result with half the effort and unite from top to bottom.

Yue Yuan knew this truth well, so the first thing he wanted to do at today's meeting was to have the conference give a reasonable explanation for this event that would reassure the survivors.

As for the definition, Yue Yuan had already said it, and it was also the first reaction of most people, that it was done by aliens. But such a definition would inevitably cause panic, so this meeting must give a reassuring explanation.

As soon as Yue Yuan said his idea, a noisy discussion broke out in the conference room.

After a few minutes, when the discussion gradually subsided, Yue Yuan opened his mouth and said, "This matter belongs to an astronomical event, so I think experts in astronomy have the most say. Now, let them talk about their ideas."

As an astrophysicist, Gan De knew he had to speak.

"According to the observation data, first of all, we can be sure that this event is definitely not a natural occurrence." Gan De defined the nature of the event as soon as he spoke, and then continued: "Then we need to analyze the logic behind this matter and the possible truth from the limited information."

"Now we have two clear pieces of information. First, the Solar System and the Centaurus Trinary Star System exploded, and from the timeline, the latter preceded the former. Second, we are still alive."

The two pieces of information Gan De mentioned were obvious and well-known, with nothing mysterious about them.

"From the first piece of information, we can infer that the attacker, that is, the unknown civilization, has mastered some means of destroying stars. We don't know what kind of weapon it is, but we can be sure that the technological strength of the alien civilization exceeds our understanding.

The second point, the time difference between the two is very important. From the time difference before and after the outbreak, we can draw two judgments. First: the unknown civilization attacked the Centaurus Trinary Star System first, and then attacked the Solar System. Second: the unknown civilization attacked both at the same time."

"If it is the first possibility, we speculate that this unknown civilization should have used our sun as a supplement to the means of attacking the Centaurus Trinary Star System, most likely for some strategic intention.

But if this is the case, with the technology of this unknown civilization, it is impossible not to have discovered us in the process of running to the Solar System to destroy the sun, which contradicts the fact that we are still alive. So I think the possibility is relatively small, but it does not rule out the possibility that the unknown civilization is turning a blind eye to us, just like we don't look at ants when we walk."

Gan De said, took a sip of water from the table in front of him, moistened his throat, and then he continued: "If it is the second possibility, it means that the unknown civilization was located in the Centaurus Trinary Star System or that direction when destroying the star. The weapon that destroyed the star hit the Centaurus Trinary Star System and crossed the distance of 4.3 light-years, hitting the Solar System four years later. This is in line with our observation results and the fact that we are still alive."

"Therefore, I am more inclined to the second point, but these are all judgments based on our human thinking and limited information. We know nothing about the existence form and way of thinking of aliens, so we cannot rule out other bizarre possibilities." Gan De added very rigorously.

His words caused another burst of discussion.

Then some scientific elites put forward a lot of supplements, and social science elites also participated in the active discussion.

This group of elites extended the discussion from Gan Boshi's point of view, discussing the possible forms and relationships of unknown civilizations and even other cosmic civilizations.

There are also unconventional views and opinions, but they have the meaning of getting further and further away.

Seeing this situation, Yue Yuan directly decided: "Very good, other possibilities such as the alien's way of thinking will not be discussed for the time being. At this stage, we can only take the second conclusion. Gan Boshi, you will draft the data evidence of this conclusion later, and then write it into an article with a reasonable context. The Propaganda Department is responsible for cooperating with the publicity. No matter what the truth is, we need this result at this stage."

The unknown civilization did not discover humans, but destroyed the Solar System for some purpose that humans do not know, and now the survivors are temporarily safe.

Yue Yuan needed to pass this signal to the people, so that they would no longer regard the unknown civilization as the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the unknown civilization discovered humans and used the method of destroying the sun to eliminate humans, but such a possibility needs to explain why the Centaurus Three-Star System was also destroyed. Could it be that there is also life there? And it does not rule out the possibility that other surrounding stars have also been destroyed, after all, the survivors cannot observe the outside world now. However, this will have to wait until they return to the ground, re-establish various telescopes, and launch various probes before it can be determined.

Therefore, it is not within the scope of discussion at this meeting.

As for whether alien civilizations are good or evil, and what the situation of the cosmic society is, it is not the focus of discussion now. Each stage has its main contradictions, and the main task at this stage is to unite people's hearts and work together to survive.

Everyone knew what Yue Yuan meant, so the matter was settled.

"Next, I will talk about the general situation of the base in all aspects." After the first thing was determined, Yue Yuan began to introduce the second item on the agenda of this meeting.
