October?
Even Zhong Ruijin was startled when he heard the time.
"Is it October of this year?" He had to confirm it again.
"Hmm..." Zhang Tianyuan flipped to the last page of the document, pointing to the time. "The weather simulation results we obtained using computer calculations, as well as the information I obtained through other means, are quite consistent in terms of time."
Zhong Ruijin didn't speak again, nor did he ask what the other methods Zhang Tianyuan mentioned were. He knew what he should and shouldn't ask.
Since Zhang Tianyuan didn't explain it to him in detail, it must be something he didn't want to tell him.
He only needs to focus on October.
"Is it really going to happen in October? That sounds so sudden..."
Liu Chunshi and other meteorological experts were present and stepped forward to testify:
"Mr. Zhong, this weather simulation result was calculated using our latest supercomputer. You should also be familiar with the basic conditions of our spacetime system. We have extensive experience in meteorology, so although this result is incredible, it is theoretically entirely possible."
Liu Chunshi also chimed in, saying, "There is indeed a significant discrepancy between the meteorological data here and our own time and space..."
The meteorological team has already made their point very clear.
Zhong Ruijin, Lu Deshou, and others could indeed understand what they meant.
However, many people still find this result hard to believe.
If Zhang Tianyuan were to say that they would experience a sudden climate change in the next two or three years, everyone would surely believe him.
After all, they can travel through time, so they're definitely not here to fool them.
But what if they were told that in a month and a half, this area would enter an ice age...?
If someone could accept this premise all at once, then they might be the one who's abnormal.
Moreover, this document isn't entirely without problems...
Seeing Zhong Ruijin in thought, Zhang Tianyuan understood his feelings.
" Elder Zhong wondering why our meteorological projections only reached this conclusion?"
"I do have this doubt in my mind."
Zhang Tianyuan chuckled and said, "Actually, you're right. This result isn't the only possible conclusion."
"It's not even the most probable outcome; on the contrary, among all the possible outcomes, it has the lowest probability of occurring, less than one in a hundred million."
Lu Deshou hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back. Before he could utter a word, he realized why Zhang Tianyuan and the others had brought up this result to discuss with them.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled at him and directly revealed the answer:
"Although the probability of this result is small, it is the one that best matches the information I obtained."
Finally, if a doomsday-level catastrophe were a high-probability event, then human civilization would not have reached where it is today.
Zhang Tianyuan glanced at Zhong Ruijin.
The old man closed his eyes and gently pressed his fingers against his brow.
He fully understood Zhang Tianyuan's words, but found them difficult to accept.
"In President Zhang's opinion, how should we avoid this disaster?"
This issue had already been discussed in meetings with the ministers of several other timelines.
Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan directly presented his strategy:
"Relocate if you can, avoid if you can."
"People in high-latitude, high-altitude areas should relocate south immediately. While people in mid-latitude areas are relocating, protective measures should be initiated, and shelters should be built in facilities such as air-raid shelters."
"As for the low-latitude regions south of the Tropic of Cancer, as long as we do a good job of keeping warm and protecting the rear areas, we'll be fine."
"The most crucial thing in dealing with this disaster is to avoid the worst of the storm, but the storm won't last long, so if you can hold out for a few days, there shouldn't be any major problems."
After Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, there was a long silence in the room.
Only Zhong Ruijin pondered, "This would require relocating most of the country; if you include the entire world, the impact would be even greater."
"In terms of migration, No. 1 Spacetime has considerable experience and will provide assistance. No. 3 Spacetime and No. 4 Spacetime will also help you to the best of their ability."
"I will also open Spacetime Tunnel for you to help you migrate."
Time is of the essence, and only by taking a multi-pronged approach can we hope to successfully weather the impending disaster.
Zhong Ruijin up and solemnly thanked Zhang Tianyuan and the others in the Mutual Aid Society, "Thank you for your help, President Zhang. Please also help me convey my gratitude to other dimensions..."
Zhang Tianyuan also got up and helped him sit down again before...
He continued, "That was just our suggestion; the specific details and implementation will depend on your own decisions."
"That's natural; we understand the principle of self-reliance. Furthermore, we'd like to organize another polar expedition with everyone to obtain more data."
Zhang Tianyuan agreed to Zhong Ruijin's request without hesitation, and the meteorological experts, including Liu Chunshi, also readily accepted.
This spacetime is about to experience a sudden climate change, and they are eager to collect as much data as possible. Now, with official assistance, things have become much easier.
After a moment's thought, Zhang Tianyuan added, "We'll be operating in this timeline going forward, so we'll still need Elder Zhong's help to establish connections overseas."
Zhong Ruijin asked curiously, "Is President Zhang going abroad next?"
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said, "I don't need to go. Our Mutual Aid Society has branches in various countries across different times and spaces. This matter can be handled by the branch that speaks their language."
The thought of those scheming monsters and demons from abroad gave Zhang Tianyuan a headache.
So he decided to leave this matter to Robert and the other chapters.
However, there's no need to elaborate on this here.
Next, Zhang Tianyuan and Zhong Ruijin added many detailed rules to the disaster avoidance policy they had just proposed, based on the actual situation.
He could sense that Elder Zhong did not completely believe his explanation, but just in case, Elder Zhong was still willing to treat the matter as if it were true and prepare accordingly.
This is a good start; you could even say we're just one step away from success.
Given the urgent situation they face in this time and space, they are no longer allowed to take many actions; once their plan begins, the results will be seen almost immediately.
The success of the plan will be judged by how many people survive the disaster a month and a half later.
After talking with Elder Zhong, Zhang Tianyuan kept Liu Chunshi and the others behind to discuss with the meteorological team of the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime, while he himself rushed off to other timelines without stopping.
Elder Zhong watched him disappear into the Spacetime Tunnel, he felt as if the meeting, which lasted only a few hours, was like a dream.
Lu Deshou Jr. felt the same way, even more deeply than others, because he was the one who handled the matter.
After the meeting ended, he immediately took Wang Lei back to the hotel, apologized to everyone, and then moved everyone to another location for reception.
Subsequently, Lu Deshou began to mitigate the impact caused by Wang Lei and others.
The trouble that Wang Lei and his group caused wasn't a huge problem, but it wasn't insignificant either.
After all, the plan itself was designed to avoid causing too much of a stir among the public.
To put it mildly, it only caused a traffic jam. Apart from a few commuters cursing, most people forgot about it the next day, and most people in the city didn't even know about it.
On a larger scale...
There wasn't much to say. Although some people noticed Wang Lei and his group because of the vehicle's unique and exaggerated design, Lu Deshou had already taken over everything before they could even make a move.
The news didn't even have time to spread.
So this matter is very easy to handle.
Lu Deshou made a phone call and quickly explained everything that needed to be done.
Less than an hour later, the relevant authorities released a message--
A science fiction film crew engaged in malicious marketing tactics, using prop vehicles from the film to obstruct public transportation. The director and relevant personnel from the production company have been summoned by relevant authorities for disciplinary action.
According to rumors, the movie that crew was filming was called " The Wandering Earth ".
As soon as this news broke, all the attention that had been focused on this matter immediately disappeared.
Only Ren Fei and the others who had given statements to Wang Lei and the others were cursing.
"Damn it, those people are definitely insane!!!"
On the other side, Zhong Ruijin was not idle either.
After the meeting, he issued a series of instructions, which reached almost every department.
In particular, all the major departments immediately entered a state of outward relaxation but inward tension after receiving the order. The tension was immediately tightened to the maximum, even exceeding the level of war.
Supply and storage of materials, road inspection and repair, emergency dispatch plans for various means of transportation...
One task after another was dumped on the hands of countless bewildered staff members.
Among these tasks, the largest in scale was an emergency civil defense engineering renovation project.
According to the document, all civil defense projects across the country must undergo immediate emergency renovations, regardless of cost.
Enhance its functions in thermal insulation and energy security.
Not only were normally closed air-raid shelters reopened for renovation, but many civil defense projects in cities that had been integrated with commercial and civilian use, such as underground shopping streets and underground parking lots, were also completely or partially closed within a day to prepare for renovation.
However, although this operation was large in scale, it has not attracted much attention so far.
From the perspective of the general public, this action is—
The underground parking lot here is under construction, and the underground shopping mall there is installing new machinery...
It's perfectly normal!
Even some people with ulterior motives didn't notice this change, since civil defense projects, as defensive fortifications, are not a major focus of attention.
As the arrangements were distributed one by one, Zhong Ruijin's initial unease gradually subsided.
He didn't really believe the ice age would start in a month and a half, but as the saying goes, it's better to believe it's true than not.
He must be fully prepared to ensure he has room to maneuver even in the worst-case scenario.
Even if these preparations come at a huge cost.
While making various preparations in the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime, Zhang Tianyuan had already arrived in No. 4 Spacetime and, with Ning Jihua's help, convened the first emergency meeting.
In all timelines, representatives from each of the four branches of the Mutual Aid Society were present, and the number of attendees alone was over a thousand.
Facing the serious gazes of the audience, Zhang Tianyuan slowly began to speak:
"As you all probably already know, this meeting is for the purpose of bringing together new partners, but with them come new challenges."
"We arrived too late. No. 6 Spacetime is expected to encounter a superstorm of unprecedented power in all timelines in a month and a half. If we leave it unchecked, at least billions of people in the Northern Hemisphere alone will perish."
Do you all remember the oath you took when you joined the Mutual Aid Society? Do you still remember our mission?
"Now is the time for you to fulfill your oath."
As if summoned, more than a thousand people in the audience stood up in unison, looking at Zhang Tianyuan and the flag of the Mutual Aid Society behind him.
No one opposed Zhang Tianyuan's decision.
People like Robert were even eager to respond to his words and rush to No. 6 Spacetime.
Watching this scene from the stage, Zhang Tianyuan felt extremely gratified.
Although he has never interfered with the various branches and sub-branches of the Mutual Aid Society, things are going quite well so far, and no one has shown any sign of backing down in the face of their responsibilities.
Having experienced so many different eras, he knew that humanity wouldn't necessarily be very united in the face of disaster.
But we also know that in the face of disaster, there will be many people who are full of enthusiasm and actively working to lift up hope.
Now, most of those standing in front of him are these same people.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "Then, the lives of billions of people are now in your hands."
According to the plan, the delegates selected at this conference will bring their domestic teams to No. 6 Spacetime and, through Elder Zhong's connections, make contact with their brother countries there.
Their mission, naturally, was to persuade their brother nations, to convince these brothers from other dimensions of the disaster, and to actively carry out evacuation efforts.
In this process, the Mutual Aid Society and various timelines will also do their best to help.
Only in this way can the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime save more people within the limited timeframe.
After Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, this special "bid" that concerned the lives of billions of people immediately began.
Representatives from various branches urgently consulted with their respective home countries using the newly launched time-space communication system.
What happened next was exactly what Zhang Tianyuan had anticipated.
All chapters showed great interest in this task.
Putting aside the fact that this was an obligation they agreed upon before joining the Mutual Aid Society, the fact that this mission was to help their brotherly country made many people feel it was their duty.
Even the most despicable politician has no reason to oppose this task.
This is clearly an opportunity to unite the brother nations of No. 6 Spacetime.
Who doesn't harbor the desire to establish a United Nations transcends time and space?
However, the above ideas are not limited to possessing a single time and space...
Therefore, before any branch in any timeline wants to go to No. 6 Spacetime to help its brother nation, the first thing they must do is compete with their brother nations in the other three timelines for a spot.
