The Time and Space of 2012.
Zhang Tianyuan appeared at the protective camp with the others.
After undergoing the usual skin disinfection, Zhang Tianyuan quickly received a phone call from Zhou Jianhai, also known as Elder Zhou, and others.
" President Zhou, the railway in your timeline should be almost finished, right?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.
Elder Zhou replied, "Indeed, it's almost finished; we've reached the final section."
The final stretch...
If Zhang Tianyuan remembered correctly, this referred to the section of railway line where thousands of railways ran side by side.
In other words, the railway network in the 2012 timeline has been completed, with only the final section leading to the Spacetime Tunnel remaining.
That's perfect.
"I've brought President Tong over," Zhang Tianyuan said into his secure phone. "You can now communicate with them about the construction of the large-scale relocation railway in No. 2 Spacetime, and the subsequent resettlement of residents."
Elder Zhou thanked him, indicating that they were indeed planning to do so, and then brought up another matter:
" President Zhang, we received a secret call request from Thomas on the other side yesterday."
Zhang Tianyuan knew Thomas.
This is the president in the movie "2012" who refused to board the ship and ended up being submerged by the tsunami along with his people.
Even disregarding reality, within the confines of this cinematic world, this character is still commendable, at least a million times better than Otis in the Legend World.
But now Zhang Tianyuan and Elder Zhou are wary of this very person.
Zhang Tianyuan frowned. "Why is he calling? Shouldn't they have already realized the possibility of the end of the world by now?"
Elder Zhou, "Not only did he discover it, but according to our speculation, he may have already formed a doomsday Soyuz at the recently concluded 8G conference."
Although Thomas and his team were very careful to keep things secret, the people back home weren't going to let them get away with it, and they were still able to find out some information.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan immediately recalled the plot of the movie, in which Thomas also informed countries around the world of their doomsday predictions.
Elder Zhou continued, "I reckon he must have discovered that we've discovered the doomsday situation, which is why he hurriedly convened a meeting to form an alliance. This phone call is probably to put pressure on us."
"He probably wants to cooperate with you to get through this difficult time together." Zhang Tianyuan, now thinking along the lines of the movie, knew what Thomas was trying to say.
It's definitely related to Ark Project.
This has nothing to do with plot inertia, but rather with the constraints of real-world conditions.
Other countries don't have Spacetime Tunnel, so if they want to escape the apocalypse, abandoning most people and building an ark on the plateau to save a small number of people is the best option.
Elder Zhou actually shared this opinion, "It's alright, let's go ahead and start. The country is basically ready now, so we can loosen our grip a bit."
"We plan to discuss this with President Tong today, and then speak with Thomas tomorrow at the appointed time. President Zhang, do you have time to come and listen in?"
Zhang Tianyuan immediately agreed.
He certainly has time for this kind of thing.
afternoon.
Elder Zhou Jianhai led the others to the shelter and began discussions with Tong Wenshi and the others.
The atmosphere this time was even more harmonious than the last time.
Although this is only the second time the two sides have met, they have been cooperating amicably for nearly a year, and with the current special circumstances, their friendship has grown stronger.
This time, Elder Zhou and Tong Wenshi met as if they were old friends.
There's no need for Zhang Tianyuan to mediate anymore; both sides can resolve all the issues on their own.
Of course, with so many issues to discuss, one afternoon is not enough to reach a conclusion on everything.
So the next day, Elder Zhou and his group had to stop their negotiations and instead talk to Thomas.
At the agreed time, the phone rang from Thomas.
The elderly Zhou Jianhai answered the phone quickly.
Zhang Tianyuan sat next to him, wearing a synchronized earpiece.
After a brief greeting, Thomas quickly got to the point:
"Mr. Zhou, I think you already know the purpose of my call with you today."
And as you've probably noticed, our world is facing an unprecedented crisis. The sun is heating the Earth, the temperature underground is rising rapidly, and enormous energy is accumulating.
"If this energy were to erupt, it would utterly destroy our world. I will now inform you of some results calculated using supercomputers..."
Elder Zhou remained silent.
Zhang Tianyuan listened quietly.
It must be said that the disaster prediction on the other side...
xS12
The testing was done quite well.
The results were all remarkably accurate, even more accurate than the scenes depicted in the movies.
Zhang Tianyuan was listening intently.
Elder Zhou suddenly chuckled and said:
"Mr. Thomas, the data you mentioned is actually meaningless. Our calculations are actually more accurate than yours."
I can even tell you that when the apocalypse happens, a massive flood will submerge our Mount Everest, and your California will sink into the sea...
"I want to hear some substantive words, not a bunch of data that's been repeated dozens of times every day."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan paused, covered his mouth with his hand, and coughed silently twice.
These are all things he said before.
Domestic calculations are definitely not that precise; at most, they can predict the California fault, because that area already has geological hazards.
On the other side.
Thomas never expected Zhou Jianhai to suddenly erupt, and the aura he had just deliberately created could no longer be maintained.
He could only quickly end the conversation, making a few OK sounds before continuing:
"Let's get down to business now."
"I'll tell you about an evacuation plan; it's much more useful than your endless evacuation drills within the country."
"We plan to find a high plateau to build massive warships on it..."
Thomas had assumed that Zhou Jianhai, sitting opposite him, would be amazed by the proposal and might even rudely interrupt him with a barrage of questions.
Unexpectedly, the more he spoke, the more silent the other person became.
The other person remained silent until he finished speaking.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Thomas, wanting to ease the tension, asked, "Are you thinking about where to build the ark?"
"Actually, we have already conducted research, and we, along with other countries, believe that it might be the best choice for you to undertake this project, given your overall industrial strength..."
Suddenly, Elder Zhou spoke up from the other side, his tone complex. "Excuse my frankness, but this plan might be a good one for you."
"However, for us right now, this plan is an utterly foolish and incredibly stupid approach..."
Thomas:???
