Chapter 62 The Secrets of Wu Houde
Li Mo looked at the image of the old man in the friend application list, and the scene before the end of the world could not help but come to mind.
After Wu Houde retired from the Medical University, he often picked up garbage in the community. The clothes he wore were also very old. At first glance, he looked like an old man scavenging.
In his last life, Wu Houde never complained about hunger in the group, and disappeared in the building before the neighbors went crazy.
He's probably dead!
"Hello, what's the matter?"
Without much hesitation, Li Mo passed the friend application.
"According to my observation, Li Xiaoyou is extremely well prepared. Did he receive the news in advance?"
"Is it possible to know the news about this kind of thing in advance?"
Li Mo knew that Wu Houde was a professor and his level of contact was different from that of ordinary people.
"About two days after the temperature dropped, I learned about the latest research results from an old friend, but by that time it was too late to make any preparations."
Li Mo recalled the news of those days and did not make any relevant reports. He was just trying to reassure residents that the snow disaster would soon pass.
Thinking of this, there was a surge of anger in my heart for no reason.
"What about now? Will the country come forward to provide disaster relief?"
"Li Xiaoyou, you should answer my questions first. In return, I will tell you some information I know!"
Li Mo pondered for a moment, thinking about how to fool the old professor.
You can’t say that you have traveled through time and were reborn, and have experienced everything that will happen in the future, right?
"I watched a movie about the end of the world and had a nightmare that day. When I woke up, I started to stock up on food. I didn't expect the end of the world to come. It was just a coincidence."
"My little friend, your words are not very credible."
Although Wu Houde is old, his wisdom has not faded at all.
"What evidence do you have that I'm lying?"
Li Mo's lies were suspected, but he didn't feel guilty at all, and he questioned him confidently.
Wu Houde said helplessly: "That's all, if you don't want to say it, forget it."
"Everything I said is true. I am a very idealistic person, and I always follow my feelings when doing things. Also, when will the country come to rescue us?"
Wu Houde was silent for a while before sending a message: "There is no country anymore. The core political figures and a large number of social elites have left Blue Star in a spaceship!"
Li Mo:! ! !
These words hit Li Mo's heart like five thunderbolts.
What do you mean there is no country anymore!
For such a big country, why would it not exist if it didn’t exist?
"What did you say, say it again?"
Li Mo couldn't believe what news he saw. The domestic dignitaries and high-end talents were no longer on Blue Star, and they had all flown to outer space!
In addition, when did Blue Star's technological means become so advanced that it can even build a spaceship!
As an ordinary person, Li Mo has never heard of similar news.
"Several big countries in the world are now in a state of anarchy. Therefore, there will be no rescue. If we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves!"
Anger brewed in his chest, it turned out that the truth was so cruel!
Everyone is abandoned, and only politicians and experts in various fields can board the escape ship from the apocalypse!
"Where did they go?"
"There is no destination, just wandering within the solar system. When the temperature of the blue star rises, it will come back. The special ice on the polar ice comet will eventually be exhausted. The life support system of the spacecraft will also It’s just enough for the people on board to live on for 30 years.”
The ecosystem on the spacecraft can produce and sell itself, but the overall resources will show a downward trend.
Li Mo tried hard to digest Wu Houde's words.
"In other words, within 30 years, they will definitely return to Blue Star and become the rulers of Blue Star again?"
"Theoretically, yes! I may not be able to see it, but Li Xiaoyou may still be able to see the day when civilized order is reestablished!"
Li Mo felt cold inside and had no sense of expectation at all!
Better never come back!
"Previous news reports stated that humankind's manned space technology can only reach the moon, and there is no way to reach farther places. How come there are suddenly spacecrafts that can float in space?"
This is the biggest doubt in Li Mo's mind.
In 2023 Blue Star, technology has made great progress.
Artificial intelligence, robots and virtual reality technology have just emerged and are far from reaching the point of changing human life.
Aerospace technology has undergone 100 years of development.
The farthest place human footsteps have reached is the moon, which is very close to the Blue Star.
As a university professor, Wu Houde's social circle is composed of academicians of the Academy of Sciences or experts in the medical field.
The information that can be learned is far more than that of ordinary people.
"About 60 years ago, humans first landed on the moon."
"It is said that the astronauts discovered something extraordinary on the moon. Shortly after their return, several major powers at the time united and secretly established an aerospace research institute."
Li Mo thought of China 60 years ago, which was still in a state of exhaustion and was extremely backward in science and technology.
"Is China a member of the institute?"
Wu Houde quickly replied: "Of course not at the beginning. Our country's science and technology has developed rapidly in recent years. It was probably around the year 2008 of the Blue Star Calendar that we were invited to join."
Lin Mo nodded silently, this made sense.
Wu Houde continued, "For 60 years, aerospace technology has been continuously developing and developing. Human beings have long surpassed the scope of the moon and even reached Mars, where they have established bases."
"These cutting-edge technologies are in the hands of several major countries and have not been made public."
Hearing Wu Houde's words, Li Mo was furious and very confused.
Joining together to do research secretly without telling the public, is there something shameful?
"I know you will be angry when you hear such news, but I don't think you can blame the upper leaders, because the country joined the institute later and did not have much say!"
"What about now? They abandoned everyone and escaped alone!"
"I believe the country has its own difficulties. Our lives have been much better than before!"
Wu Houde is very old and has experienced the period of poverty in the past.
At that time, there were often famines and there was no clothes to cover the body.
Now urban construction and science and technology have developed little by little!
After all, the Aerospace Research Institute was established 60 years ago, and China has only been a member for 15 years. It is impossible to gain much say. Even if it wants to oppose the decision, it is likely to be rejected by other member states.
Li Mo can imagine the scene of China being targeted by other countries in the international arena, but it is still hard to let go.
"If I see them return to Blue Star in my lifetime, I will no longer accept their rule!"
Li Mo thought quietly for a long time before slowly speaking.
At this time, Wu Houde was sweating all over with pain. Seeing Li Mo's tough words, he smiled with difficulty.
"Oh, the young man is so confident, it seems that my guess is right!"
