Chapter 3 Verifying the Future
Just as Li Xiaming had previously guessed.
Right next door, there was indeed an evaluation team composed of senior experts from multiple fields such as cognitive psychology, high-energy astrophysics, and geography, analyzing every word Li Xiaming said.
"A month later, nuclear fusion inside the sun will suddenly accelerate and decline? How is that possible!"
An astrophysicist with graying hair took off his glasses, rubbed his temples vigorously, and thought the young man was talking nonsense!
He immediately raised a question:
"Based on data transmitted back by all on-orbit solar observation satellites, both domestically and internationally."
Current data on solar luminosity, sunspot activity cycle, and neutrino flux intensity are all within the normal historical fluctuation range.
If the sun were going to have problems in a month, early signs of declining solar activity would have been detected long ago!
After saying that, he looked at the psychologist next to him, as if waiting for the other party to directly say the answer that "Li Xiaming is mentally unstable".
Every year, the government receives a large number of calls from people claiming to be "time travelers" or "prophets" or mentally ill.
Despite Academician Qin's guarantee, he felt that Li Xiaming would be no exception this time!
However, the psychologist shook his head and said:
"I can confirm that, as of now, Mr. Li is not mentally abnormal."
"Moreover, according to him, the decay of nuclear fusion inside the sun comes from a broadcast that played for months in the minds of all mankind, titled 'Earth's End 1.00 Update'."
This could be aliens, or some other being, interfering with the sun.
In short, Mr. Li's ability to rewind time, or travel back two years, is already difficult to explain with current science.
Therefore, even if the sun is not experiencing any problems now, we cannot be certain that it will be problem-free a month from now.
At this point, another expert raised concerns:
"Let's assume Mr. Li really did travel through time."
"But what if his timeline doesn't completely align with ours?"
"It's like a parallel universe; the things he experienced are things we might not experience."
"If we cannot fully verify that our timelines are aligned with his, then we absolutely cannot act rashly, otherwise it would be irresponsible to our compatriots."
"I agree with that!"
Just as the evaluation team was discussing the matter, Lu Yi suddenly sent several more messages.
"Mr. Li said he has several pieces of evidence that we can verify."
"Including wildfires and earthquakes in some parts of the world, and even conflict situations in various places, we will be able to verify their authenticity in the next two days."
……
……
Li Xiaming sat quietly in the chair, holding a teacup that had long since gone cold in both hands, his eyes somewhat vacant, as if he were recalling something.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, for keeping you waiting. I brought you here in the middle of the night, and we've been talking all night. I'm so sorry."
Lu Yi returned to his room, his tone as steady as ever, but with a touch more gentleness than before.
Li Xiaming snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and smiled:
"It's alright. Compared to those sleepless, hungry nights during the Ice Age, this is much better now."
Lu Yi silently took out his notebook and wrote down the sentence. After a moment's pause, he looked up and asked:
"Want to grab some hot breakfast together? The cafeteria has freshly made soy milk and fried dough sticks, tofu pudding, or whatever else you'd like, we can make that too."
"Sure, either way is fine with me."
Li Xiaming's eyes lit up slightly, then he scratched his head a little embarrassedly:
"Hey Brother Lu, just call me Xia Ming."
I haven't been out of school for long, so it always feels a bit awkward when you call me "Mr. Li."
Lu Yi was taken aback, then nodded:
"Okay, Xia Ming."
For the next two days, Li Xiaming was temporarily unable to access the internet and was frequently dragged by Lu Yi to answer various questions.
But apart from that, Lu Yi almost fulfilled all of his life and entertainment needs.
Game consoles, television, novels.
As long as he mentions it, it will be delivered to him very soon.
So Li Xiaming didn't find it boring at all.
It wasn't until two days later.
Li Xiaming, who was reading a novel inside the house, suddenly saw Lu Yi walking hurriedly towards him.
This was the first time Li Xiaming had seen this man, who seemed unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, suddenly appear flustered.
"We just finished a high-level meeting, and now we have some bad news."
Your prophecy has come true.
Lu Yi stepped forward and said in a serious tone:
"We have now officially established the 'Glacier Doomsday Survival Committee' to coordinate responses to the impending disaster."
Now, on behalf of the organization, I formally extend an invitation to you—”
"Comrade Li Xiaming, would you be willing to serve as a special advisor to the committee and stand with us in this battle concerning the survival of our compatriots and even humanity?"
"Comrade."
Li Xiaming murmured those two words repeatedly, as if something warm was welling up in his chest.
The change from "Mr. Li" to "Comrade Li" carries a profound meaning.
He stood up and said loudly:
"I do!"
A hint of solemnity flashed in Lu Yi's eyes, and he raised his hand to give Li Xiaming a standard military salute.
Then, Lu Yi took out a neatly bound document from his pocket and handed it to Li Xiaming.
"Xia Ming, this is the preliminary outline of the plan drafted by the committee."
Half an hour later, I will take you to the first conference room to discuss more detailed response plans with experts from various fields.
Li Xiaming took the document with both hands, quickly flipped through a few pages, his brows gradually furrowing, and asked with some confusion:
"Brother Lu, this plan seems to make no mention of the situation abroad?"
Don't we need global collaboration?
"Xia Ming".
Lu Yi interrupted him in a deep voice.
"Although your vision is good, and we are the most committed to global peace, unfortunately there are too many short-sighted people in the world today."
"The end of the world is nigh. Do you know what the consequences would be if we indiscriminately announced this news to the entire world now?"
"Panic will spread like wildfire, and the already fragile international order will collapse in an instant."
Resource competition, armed conflict, and even indiscriminate attacks.
What we are facing is not global unity and cooperation, but a premature onset of purgatory.
"Prioritize ensuring domestic stability and safeguard the safety of every compatriot."
This is our responsibility, and it's also our bottom line.
Lu Yi paused for a moment, then looked past Li Xiaming and out the window:
"Only after the domestic situation stabilizes can we provide support to the world."
Li Xiaming listened intently, remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I understand, Brother Lu. I had been oversimplifying things."
Lu Yi reached out and patted his shoulder forcefully:
"Let's go, Comrade Xia Ming, everyone in the conference room is waiting for you."
