The day after the meeting.
Rumors of an impending apocalypse have circulated in many countries.
Zhang Tianyuan and his group were the most foreseeable about this; it would be strange if the news of the apocalypse didn't leak out after the conference.
They never expect all countries to maintain strict secrecy.
However, this news has only been circulating for a short time and has not yet taken off, only having a wide impact among previous supporters of the solar doomsday theory.
But when the news reached the general public, nobody took it seriously.
After all, some people had previously said that this global conference was about establishing a global federation.
Compared to that, the prediction of the end of the world seems insignificant.
The global conference lasted until mid-March, during which countries quickly reached a basic consensus on issues that needed immediate attention, such as the distribution of resources, maintaining order, and the form of sustaining the new economy.
To put it bluntly, it could be said that other countries, under various pressures, had no choice but to comply with the plan proposed by Thomas.
In contrast, Thomas, Elder Zhou, and others will help countries maintain social order after the apocalypse is declared, while distributing essential supplies to the people in accordance with the required quantities.
In modern society, if we only ask for material things like clothing and food, industrial production capacity has already far exceeded the needs of 7 billion people.
Even if we were to support these 7 billion people, the supply of materials wouldn't be too difficult; the challenge lies in the distribution phase.
But no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it now.
Thomas knew perfectly well that they didn't have much time left.
He had promised Zhang Tianyuan that his country's citizens would be among the last to evacuate.
If they cannot quickly mobilize other countries to evacuate, then they are doomed.
He didn't want to gamble his own life and the lives of the entire nation on how hard Zhang Tianyuan's heart was.
So Thomas stepped in as the villain, quickly clearing away all obstacles and allowing Elder Zhou and his team of stabilization agents to quietly enter various cities.
And in this process.
The global summit also held a press conference to announce a major announcement concerning everyone on the day the conference concluded.
Media outlets around the world immediately made this news their headline.
People around the world are already extremely interested in this conference.
The public's curiosity was only amplified after the press conference.
Across the ocean.
Charlie, having discovered that the state of emergency had been lifted, resumed his journey and headed towards Yellowstone Park.
The radio was broadcasting news about the global summit, and several listeners were connected via video call to get their opinions.
Just as he had said to the landlady before.
Charlie had absolutely no interest in this matter.
He only listened to it to relieve his boredom because all the radio and television stations were broadcasting programs related to the global summit.
Listening to the speculations of several audience members—one minute it's a global federation, the next it's addressing global warming, and then it's about the Antarctica ozone hole...—it's all about...
Charlie turned off the radio dismissively.
With the end of the world imminent, there's no point in forming a global federation.
domestic.
Discussions about the global summit on various forums have reached a fever pitch.
"My uncle's daughter's colleague's aunt is an insider. They say aliens are going to invade. Anyway, everyone should be prepared. I can't say more. Those who know, know..."
"Bullshit! It's clearly about forming a global federal community!"
"It's said they're going to build the world's first space city..."
"According to leaked insider information from abroad, the end of the world is coming, and it's related to a solar anomaly."
Netizens' imaginations ranged from the heavens to the earth, encompassing almost every possibility imaginable.
However, no matter how the public imagines, the official governments of various countries have always maintained a silent attitude, with only some small countries with weak organizational capabilities inadvertently leaking a little information.
However, this is not a serious matter and will not affect the overall situation.
Previously, supporters of the doomsday prophecy theory had already protested at the G8 summit with placards; this only increased their numbers, so what's the point?
In a final calm, the first global summit came to its final day.
All attendees will travel to a special location.
Zhang Tianyuan and Elder Zhou were in the same car, with Thomas and his team's car following closely behind. The solemn motorcade stretched for miles, with national flags of various countries fluttering in the wind, escorted by motorcycles in front and behind.
"We are now heading to the Time Station, and after today, construction will truly begin."
"Status."
Elder Zhou held up a set of blueprints and explained them to Zhang Tianyuan.
The blueprints show thousands of railways running side by side, and the so-called time-space platform is located at the last section where these railways enter the Spacetime Tunnel.
Zhang Tianyuan pointed to a thickened line on the blueprint and said, "You want me to open Spacetime Tunnel at this location?"
The line he was pointing to, no matter which direction the railway came from, would disappear once it reached this point.
"Yes," Elder Zhou, "For the final section of these railways, we will use a retractable technology to allow the railway to extend and connect with the other side when the Spacetime Tunnel opens."
"Before the Spacetime Tunnel closes, all we need to do is reclaim the railway."
"In addition, there is a communications area here, used to install various communication lines. Once the time-space railway is officially opened, direct communication between the two timelines will be possible..."
On other vehicles.
Thomas and Carl looked out at the increasingly desolate scenery, pressing their heads close to the window, eager to see more.
"Did they really start preparing more than a year ago?" Carl suddenly asked.
Thomas nodded and said, "That's how I know it."
"They're really lucky."
Thomas thought of Zhang Tianyuan again and patted his partner with a smile.
"Don't look at things with the same old mindset, Carl."
"Actually, it's not just them who are lucky; we are lucky too, or rather, all of humanity is lucky."
Carl hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
The convoy arrived half an hour later.
Everyone got off the bus one after another.
The scene looked like a temporarily paved concrete area, surrounded by mountains and forests, with no sign of human habitation.
However, even in such a place, many domestic and foreign journalists had already set up their cameras.
The moment Elder Zhou and Thomas got out of the car, a flurry of photos was taken.
Zhang Tianyuan also stood with Elder Zhou and the others.
However, at his younger age, he looked more like a secretary.
Only some reporters found it strange that this young man was positioned subtly at the center of the crowd, surrounded by powerful figures who could shake the world with a stomp of their feet, like stars fluttering around the moon.
The reporters' doubts subsided somewhat when they saw Elder Zhou standing next to Zhang Tianyuan...
