Back to the space base.
Zhang Tianyuan met Amelia immediately.
After the joint investigation concluded, she did not immediately return to the Wandering Spacetime to continue her astronaut training, but instead stayed here temporarily.
In her words, since she was already lagging behind the other team members in training anyway, she might as well stay here and help her father keep an eye on things in North America, and then join the second batch of astronauts when training begins.
Although it would take her some time to cross the galaxy to see her boyfriend, it was for the sake of all humanity and her country, so she went without hesitation.
Zhang Tianyuan could only silently mourn for her, unable to bring himself to directly reveal that her boyfriend had died from a rockfall.
I spoke with Amelia about the situation of the famine victims in North America, and also informed her of the upcoming activities of the Mutual Aid Society.
The biology PhD expressed his gratitude to Zhang Tianyuan with a sigh of relief.
"Although many starving people died in the process, this was the best possible outcome."
Zhang Tianyuan gestured for her not to be so polite, "We still have some people temporarily staying there to help them set up temporary management structures and also to help them build basic biochemical defenses."
Invisible poison gas and biological warfare, when heavy firepower cannot be used, may become the main means for the enemy to attack the grain depot.
If none of these methods work, then groundwater pollution and other similar measures will likely be used.
Therefore, it is necessary to provide basic protection for those starving people so that they can stay safely in the granary.
Hearing about the Mutual Aid Society's measures, Amelia was even more moved and stood up again to express her gratitude with a bow.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled, persuaded her to sit back down, and continued explaining the next steps to her.
After delivering the starving people to the food warehouses, the Mutual Aid Society would also report on their plight in North America via satellite and radio.
This can also be considered a form of publicity.
These starving people must be allowed to claim the justice they deserve; otherwise, they might be demonized into something else entirely.
In addition, this is also to win the support of those sympathetic people in the opposing society, which can more or less delay the offensive against the granary.
Not everyone on the other side agreed with forcibly evicting the starving people.
The Brand are not isolated cases.
It could even be said that most people felt sympathy for the plight of the starving people.
Of course, these people would be unwilling to give up some of their food to help the starving people.
But that's normal.
These people's sympathy for the starving people is based on humanity, while their attachment to the food in their own bowls is based on their own fundamental interests.
open
Tianyuan doesn't expect these people to become selfless saints—he himself couldn't do that—he just wants them to stop aiding and abetting evil.
After confirming Zhang Tianyuan's proposed actions one by one, Amelia quickly agreed to them all, as she was certain they would be beneficial and harmless to the starving people.
That's enough.
Even if these methods objectively undermine the rule of those criminals.
The Cooper family.
Several days have passed since I last met Zhang Tianyuan.
Murphy's life gradually returned to normal. With the help of her grandfather Donald, she was able to return to school after dropping out, but on the condition that she could no longer bring her old textbooks to school.
The school was like a stagnant pool; most students were preparing to become farmers.
This atmosphere made Murphy feel stifled. She was indeed a genius, especially in this era of limited information. Her father had given her a broad enough perspective in the first ten years of her life.
Unfortunately, no matter how broad her horizons become now, they can only be used to observe this closed-off school.
For Murphy, the only time he can truly relax each day is probably during his lunch break.
At this time, the teacher will turn on the classroom radio before leaving, and students can choose to listen to the broadcast while eating.
The radio broadcast news, though it never mentioned anything about famine or the like, but it would occasionally give a brief overview of the recent national situation, even if it was just a partial explanation, which was enough to satisfy Murphy's curiosity.
It was another normal afternoon. Murphy sat alone in his seat, eating corn soup made by his grandfather, while listening to the news on the radio.
The boys in the class were already tired of these boring, incomprehensible news reports that never seemed to have a conclusion, so they clamored and ran to the radio to change the channel.
Murphy put the last mouthful of cornmeal into his mouth and was about to step forward to stop him.
According to the latest news, approximately 50,000 starving people launched an attack yesterday on a grain silo codenamed A-56 in New Jersey, and successfully captured it after suffering thousands of casualties.
"This is the first time that starving people have successfully occupied a granary, and we believe that as long as the oppression and expulsion of starving people does not stop, such incidents will continue to occur frequently..." xS12
The following is a description of the plight of the starving people.
The announcement stunned all the students in the classroom.
Some students still don't quite understand the meaning behind this passage.
Only Murphy seemed struck dumb.
This was the first time in her ten years of life that she had heard about starving people, and it was also the cruelest thing she had ever heard.
In this era, most people are the only...
Their form of entertainment was listening to the radio, so in normal society, many people, like Murphy, received the Mutual Aid Society's broadcast signals.
The fact that starving people stormed the granary surprised many people, and the subsequent description of the starving people's plight evoked both anger and sympathy.
The Mutual Aid Society conducted on-site investigations, and the information it disclosed was well-founded and clearly organized, which immediately convinced most people.
They had long heard that starving people were worse off than dead.
But most people don't know exactly how much worse it is than death, and such information wouldn't be allowed to spread in North America society.
Otherwise, no one would choose to be obediently escorted to the desert.
But now, the people know!
Just as the people were in turmoil.
A meeting was also quietly held to discuss the Mutual Aid Society's broadcast.
The news broadcast about the famine riots shattered the illusions of all the attendees.
They couldn't understand why capturing a granary would warrant the use of such a powerful weapon as Spacetime Tunnel.
They could barely understand Professor Brand brought a large number of talented people and important data last time.
But this time...
Are those 200,000 tons of grain really that important?
If those people from the Mutual Aid Society only wanted this little bit of stuff, they should have just said so in the previous satellite communications!
They definitely won't pretend to be mute!!!
well!
Now is not the time to dwell on this.
"They said this kind of thing will happen again!"
This was the most upsetting thing for everyone at the meeting.
This is not an isolated incident!
"We must retake the granary as soon as possible. The guards have submitted their latest plan to me; we will deploy all our biological and chemical weapons. They will be no match for us. But more importantly, how do we defend against the next attack from the starving people?"
"They have Spacetime Tunnel, they can land directly inside the granary... there's simply no way to defend it!"
"This is an unfair war!"
Although the starving people had nothing and could even use rifles as fire sticks, they were cheating!
Who can withstand instant teleportation?
Tens of thousands of fearless people suddenly surged in front of me; how could I possibly fight them?
Moreover, they have countless granaries of all sizes; who knows which granary will be attacked next?
A variety of difficulties were laid out.
"It's okay, we don't need to defend."
"They don't seem to want to get directly involved in our affairs, so we can just start with the starving people."
Should we appease the other starving people?
Why appease those who are worthless?
"Wouldn't it be better if we just killed all the remaining starving people?"
