194: Chapter 193 Blue Star is Entering an Era of Catastrophe!

"Supernatural Special Research Group?"

Professor Zhou Xuemin muttered to himself.

Is the country planning to officially investigate the cause of the meteorological anomalies?

Professor Zhou Xuemin frowned slightly at first, then breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, "It seems Elder Long and that person must have had a talk..."

A month ago, he and Elder Long had discussed multiple times in The Compound that they should pay attention to this climate anomaly.

But for some reason, the higher-ups didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't until now, with more and more provinces affected by the disaster, that they finally realized the severity of the problem.

"I guess Elder Long lost his temper!"

Professor Zhou Xuemin mused inwardly.

He knew Elder Long's temper well; when he got angry, he wouldn't hesitate to scold anyone, whether it was the Premier or the Head of State.

Returning his thoughts to the meeting, Professor Zhou Xuemin felt much more relieved.

Regardless of whether this Supernatural Special Research Group would be useful, at least there was now a clear attitude and a clear direction.

Moreover, Professor Zhou Xuemin vaguely felt that the successive weather anomalies were likely not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

He only prayed now that this Supernatural Special Research Group could play a role and discover something from the abnormal climate.

Otherwise, if things continued this way, the Dragon Kingdom would not be able to withstand the successive natural disasters.

It was not just the Dragon Kingdom; other countries were the same.

By then, it would likely trigger a global crisis!

After announcing this, the Premier issued another order:

"The head of the Supernatural Special Research Group will be the Dragon State Council, and the deputy heads will be Zou Bin, Director of the Meteorological Bureau, and Professor Zhou Xuemin, President of the Dragon Academy of Sciences!"

"Scientific research institutions and departments at all levels are to transfer professional personnel to join the special research group."

"You must find out the cause of the weather anomalies as soon as possible and provide corresponding solutions!"

"This operation is classified as top secret; no one is allowed to disclose any information!"

"Violators will be dealt with according to national law!"

Speaking to the end, the Premier's voice became a bit more serious, and his expression was solemn.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded silently.

Everyone present was a Director of their respective departments, so they understood the importance of confidentiality.

The meeting ended there.

In just one day, the Supernatural Special Research Group was established at the Meteorological Bureau.

After all, the Meteorological Bureau had more professional detection equipment, making it better suited for data analysis.

As the head of the special research group, Professor Zhou Xuemin also gave important instructions regarding the overall subsequent actions.

On this day, Professor Zhou Xuemin and Zou Bin held the group's first formal meeting.

"We won't say any unnecessary pleasantries; let's get straight to the point!"

Professor Zhou Xuemin looked at everyone and said bluntly.

The professional personnel from various departments looked slowly toward Professor Zhou Xuemin, their eyes filled with respect.

Among them, Professor Zhou was the oldest and had the highest seniority.

Moreover, everyone present knew of the contributions Professor Zhou had made to the Dragon Kingdom.

They had no objections to Professor Zhou presiding over the meeting and serving as the deputy head of the group.

Similarly, the Meteorological Bureau Director, Zou Bin, had no objections either.

Although it was called the Supernatural Special Research Group, it consisted of dozens of people.

It was most appropriate for a prestigious research academician like Professor Zhou to take charge.

Seeing everyone nod, Professor Zhou Xuemin then said:

"First and foremost, it is crucial that we closely monitor extreme weather in all regions of the Dragon Kingdom, striving to forecast it before it arrives to minimize the loss of life and property for the people!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Professor Zhou Xuemin continued:

"Secondly, the successive extreme weather events certainly didn't appear for no reason; there must be a trigger!"

"Our goal is to find this trigger and come up with corresponding solutions to resolve it!"

"Does anyone have anything to add?" Professor Zhou Xuemin asked, looking at the people in the conference room.

Everyone shook their heads.

In fact, the purpose of the Dragon State Council in establishing this Supernatural Special Research Group was very clear, and everyone knew it.

It was nothing more than figuring out the causes of this severe weather and then finding solutions.

Therefore, upon hearing Professor Zhou's arrangements, everyone had no objections.

"Since that is the case, let's proceed according to the assigned tasks!" Professor Zhou Xuemin ordered.

Everyone accepted the orders and went their separate ways to act.

Time passed day by day.

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed.

During these two months, the Supernatural Special Research Group worked day and night, utilizing massive data models and powerful observation satellites.

They transferred hundreds of senior researchers from over 100 Research Institutes within the Dragon Academy of Sciences, including the Life Sciences Research Institute, the Animal and Plant Research Institute, the High Energy Physics Research Institute, the Atmospheric Physics Research Institute, and the Microbiology Research Institute.

Covering dozens of disciplines, they conducted a professional and detailed research analysis on the abnormal weather that had occurred in the Dragon Kingdom during this recent period.

Then, they reached a shocking conclusion!

"Professor Zhou, the data conclusions indicate that the sun's surface temperature is gradually decreasing, and the sunspot activity frequency is in a very irregular state."

"According to our big data simulation analysis, various extreme weather events will occur across Blue Star in the coming years."

"Not only that!" When Meteorological Bureau Director Zou Bin said this, his tone suddenly faltered.

The expression on his normally vigorous face was extremely conflicted and grim.

Professor Zhou Xuemin frowned slightly, "Not only what? Director Zou, speak your mind!"

"In the current situation, nothing could be worse than this!"

Would such extreme weather continue to occur in the future?

Heh... Then what was the point of their research?

Let alone occurring in succession. Any one of these extreme natural disasters was enough to make the people miserable and cause devastation!

If they came one after another, wouldn't the entire Blue Star be destroyed?

Director Zou Bin paused for a moment, stood up, looked at the many researchers in the conference room, and said in a low voice:

"Not only that!"

"Based on research of existing data, we predict that in about ten years, due to sunspot eruptions, the entire Blue Star will fall into the disaster era of The Great Ice Age!"

"At that time, the entire Blue Star will be ravaged by a cold wave, frozen for thousands of miles, and all living things will be completely frozen solid!"

"I fear the era of humanity will come to an end then."

"All civilization will come to a complete halt at that time!"

After finishing, Zou Bin seemed to lose all his strength and sat back into his chair powerlessly.

Upon hearing his words, everyone in the conference room was shocked!

"What?!" "Impossible? How could this be?!" "Humanity... is going to go extinct?"

Professor Zhou Xuemin looked at Zou Bin in astonishment, trying to see a hint of a 'joke' on his face.

Unfortunately, there was none. On Zou Bin's face, only powerlessness and helplessness remained...

That's right! With sunspot eruptions, how could humanity, with its insignificant power, resist?

They... only had ten years left!

Professor Zhou Xuemin gritted his teeth, feeling a sense of powerlessness in his heart for the first time.

Even when foreign countries bullied the Dragon Kingdom in the past, they had never felt this hopeless.

But now, knowing about the sunspot eruptions and Blue Star falling into The Great Ice Age, with thousands of miles of ice and drifting snow!

In Professor Zhou Xuemin's heart, there was only despair.

This was a disaster that human power could not contend with.

Ten years... this azure planet only had ten years of life left!

And the only thing they could do was: wait for death!!

Meanwhile, at Changxing Shipyard.

During this time, the construction of the aircraft carrier was nearing completion.

In a few more days, it would be ready for testing.

Xu Hao left the workshop and returned to his office.

He sank his consciousness into the system.

He discovered that the exchange points in his inventory had risen to 1,800,000.

The growth of the exchange points was within his expectations.

The only thing that caught him off guard was the surge in the progress bar!!

In two months, the progress bar had shot up to 82%!

"Why did it suddenly jump so much?" An expression of confusion appeared on Xu Hao's face.

At the same time, the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

Furthermore, during this recent period, he had felt inexplicable heart palpitations while sleeping.

"Longdu... what on earth has happened?"

Xu Hao looked up at the crimson sky, feeling lost in his heart...
