"What is that?!"
As the black portal on the stage slowly opened, seemingly drawing even the light inside, the delegations from various countries below were immediately taken aback. Everyone stood up in unison, staring at the stage in astonishment.
"Is there some kind of special device installed there?"
Is this a technology demonstration?
United Nations officials immediately contacted their domestic representatives, anxiously inquiring about the situation on stage.
They knew perfectly well that the podium was just an ordinary place; there were no special mechanisms or traps there.
"Don't worry, as Mr. Liu said, it's just to have a more direct dialogue with everyone..."
"Are you sure there's no problem?" m.
There won't be any problems.
On television.
The slowly unfolding black portal also attracted the attention of countless viewers.
Becker was about to pick up his coffee, was drawn to the scene. He forgot to put down his coffee and stared intently at the television, wanting to see what that black thing was.
His secretary, however, suddenly remembered something and became somewhat uneasy. "Sir, regarding our previous intelligence..."
The intelligence reports indicated that this meeting would reveal signs of parallel universes existing.
"Could this be a Spacetime Tunnel?" Her tone was stiff, clearly recalling science fiction movies and TV shows where the concept of Spacetime Tunnel was quite common.
But Becker glanced at her, brought the coffee that had been sitting idle to his lips, and took a sip. "That's just something made up on TV; it can't possibly exist in reality."
That's what he said, but he couldn't explain the true nature of this black portal.
But he soon found out.
Because someone came out from inside.
Even from the blurry television footage, it was clear that he was a rather young person.
"Sorry I'm late."
The newly arrived young man had a confident smile and appeared polite, yet there was a subtle, understated domineering air about him that made people unconsciously take him seriously.
Even Becker, watching from behind a screen, could feel this aura; his heart skipped a beat, as if gripped by an invisible hand.
"No, no..." Becker muttered to himself. His secretary glanced at him discreetly, then moved even more subtly out of Becker's sight.
She was right; the black portal was indeed a Spacetime Tunnel, so it was even more important to hide now.
on site.
Liu Chunshi was already used to witnessing Zhang Tianyuan emerge from the void; he himself had lost count of how many times he had used the Spacetime Tunnel.
However, the people below had never seen such a "disappearing act," especially since it was the beginning of the new century, and even magic was still shrouded in mystery.
So most of the people in the audience were completely stunned.
They didn't realize what was happening until Zhang Tianyuan spoke.
How did that person appear?
Is it magic? Or sorcery?
"It seems this is what they wanted to show us at this conference..."
Everyone had their own ideas, but the focus was on Zhang Tianyuan on the stage.
It's clear that this young man is the one in charge now.
Zhang Tianyuan remained calm and gently raised his hand to signal the people below to proceed according to the original plan.
The domestic delegation immediately took action, bringing out a batch of Wandering Spacetime simultaneous interpretation machines.
The equipment was requested to be distributed by United Nations staff to everyone in the room.
The United Nations staff were also there, responding with a few "ohs" before finally finding someone to distribute the headsets.
When the group received the headphones, they had no idea what they were, let alone how to use them.
Only Jack had seen it at Liu Chunshi's place. He tried putting it on his ears, and then the others realized that it was a deformed pair of headphones, and they followed suit.
Seeing the reactions of the audience, Zhang Tianyuan then said, "Now you should all be able to understand what I'm saying."
The group wearing the headphones immediately received synchronized audio translation, and they exclaimed in amazement. Most of them had never seen such headphones before, or even similar products.
For people at the beginning of the new century, these headphones seemed more like props from science fiction.
Ignoring their astonishment, Zhang Tianyuan continued, "The interpreter headset has limited battery power, but it should last until our communication ends."
"Regarding my name, you can address me as 'President' based on my current position..."
Hearing the voice coming from the earpiece, everyone immediately turned their attention back to Zhang Tianyuan, already having a premonition.
Some officials, in particular, who had contact with "brotherly countries," had a vague idea that the "chairman" on the stage must also be from a parallel universe.
Sure enough, the next second--
"I come from a parallel universe," Zhang Tianyuan said calmly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below the stage.
"Because various timelines are frequently struck by cataclysmic disasters, I established an interdimensional organization several years ago. Its aim is to gather the power of all timelines, help each other overcome calamities, and save more lives lost in these disasters." xS12
"Some of you here may have heard of that organization; it is the ' Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society '."
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of many people below changed immediately.
Jack took in all the changes in these people and suddenly understood what these officials had been whispering about these past few days...
No wonder this information was kept strictly confidential; no wonder he hadn't received a single tip-off.
Jason and Frank, who were next to him, stared wide-eyed and nudged him with the smallest possible movements.
"Hey?! Isn't this ridiculous?"
"So, could Liu also be a member of that Mutual Aid Society?"
Jack said, "Definitely."
During his conversation with Liu Chunshi that day, although Liu Chunshi did not explain his background, he could tell from the technological sophistication of the equipment that Liu Chunshi and his people were no ordinary people.
It's only natural that we're now connected to this suddenly appearing mysterious organization.
Ignoring the expressions on the faces of the crowd below, Zhang Tianyuan calmly continued, "The so-called 'rumors' you've heard these past few days about climate disasters and the impending ice age are reminders issued to you by the Mutual Aid Society with my authorization."
"Both I and the Mutual Aid Society are 100% certain of its authenticity, therefore I reiterate my appeal to everyone to take our disaster warnings seriously."
" The Mutual Aid Society has already existed through five timelines; yours is the sixth. In terms of disaster response..."
They have a wealth of experience.
Although time is of the essence, there is still hope for survival. I hope you can put aside your prejudices and concerns about gains and losses, focus on the current predicament, and actively cope with it.
The Mutual Aid Society and other time-space entities will also do their best to help you. We can provide experience, supplies, and personnel, but the Mutual Aid Society has never used the guise of assistance to carry out acts of aggression, so all of this requires your cooperation and consent.
"If you still have doubts about the existence of the Mutual Aid Society, you can visit our temporary outpost in this timeline through the previously received provisional agreement."
"At that time, you are welcome to travel to the parallel universe to discuss related matters, and we will meet again there."
After Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, he turned around, and the black Spacetime Tunnel unfolded behind him again. He stepped into it and disappeared from the venue as if he had never been there.
But others couldn't pretend he hadn't been there.
Zhang Tianyuan's words were very straightforward and easy to understand, yet the audience still looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even though they were prepared, the amount of information conveyed in those words was still overwhelming for them.
In a parallel universe unknown to them, an interdimensional organization had already been established long ago, and its tentacles have now reached into their universe, indicating its intention to save them from disaster...
Is this true?
The delegations from many countries in the audience shared a common question.
They had previously thought they would receive a definitive answer regarding the existence of parallel universes at this conference.
But now they have an answer, only they are more confused than before.
"Don't forget the visit in September."
Suddenly someone said something.
Others echoed his sentiments.
"I need to leave now to report the situation back to China. I'll leave this place to you..."
"I'm leaving now, sorry."
"Keep an eye on this part, and I wish you a successful speech..."
From each delegation, all the officials left the venue simultaneously, leaving only the original protagonists of the conference—
Meteorologists.
The scholars watched in disbelief as their temporary colleagues hurriedly left to grab the international phone calls provided by the venue...
The United Nations staff were completely stunned by this unprecedented situation and didn't know how to handle it.
Should they advise these people to return to their seats and attend the meeting?
Should we add a few more telephone lines for them?
Only one group of people at the scene were excited.
That's the TV station that hosted the live broadcast.
"Was the speech recorded?"
"It's filmed! Not a single shot was missed, and all ten cameras are working perfectly!"
"The station told us that the ratings have exploded!!!"
The ratings have indeed exploded.
Although this climate conference was held ahead of schedule, it received far more attention than usual due to numerous prior actions taken by China.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it has garnered worldwide attention.
In particular, local television stations have used theories of climate change as a selling point in their advertising, attracting countless viewers.
The level of interest in this conference, both from official and public perspectives, is unprecedented.
What happened at this conference was clearly something no one had anticipated.
No one expected it.
This climate conference has officially ushered in a new era!
