196: Chapter 195 Epic Calamity, System Forced Upgrade!

As soon as Xu Hao got off the plane, he took a special car and headed straight for The Compound!

The familiar Compound, the familiar old man under the tree.

For some reason, after arriving inside The Compound, Xu Hao breathed in the fresh air, and his restless mood gradually calmed down.

He walked forward, nodded to Professor Zhou Xuemin, and then called out: "Elder Long!"

Hearing the voice, Elder Long turned his head, a smile on his face.

"Xiao Hao is here, come, come, come, sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hao walked forward and sat down opposite Elder Long.

Professor Zhou Xuemin sat on the other side of the square table.

After some simple pleasantries, Xu Hao reported to Elder Long the news that the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier had been successfully tested and was ready for sea trials immediately.

After listening, a happy expression appeared on Elder Long's face.

"Not bad, the Dragon Kingdom finally has its own Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier!"

Elder Long sighed with emotion.

Xu Hao keenly sensed it.

Although Elder Long was smiling, there was not much excitement in his heart.

The faint sorrow revealed in his cloudy eyes could not be hidden.

This also confirmed his previous suspicion: Elder Long and Professor Zhou Xuemin must be hiding something from him!!

His thoughts were suddenly no longer on the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier.

After pondering for a moment, Xu Hao asked in a deep voice: "Elder Long, Professor Zhou Xuemin, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Elder Long and Professor Zhou Xuemin were stunned and exchanged glances.

Apparently, they did not expect Xu Hao to suddenly ask such a question.

After thinking for a moment, Elder Long smiled and said: "You are naturally a very excellent, patriotic, and outstanding scientific research worker."

"At the same time, you have developed and built various cutting-edge technological products for the Dragon Kingdom, such as the A-225 Transport Aircraft and the H-20 6th Generation Bomber, and now you have even led scientific research personnel to independently develop the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier."

"You are a meritorious hero of the Dragon Kingdom!"

Elder Long praised him without reservation.

Xu Hao nodded.

"Since that is the case, why is it that I, this great meritorious hero, do not even have the right to know about major national affairs?"

Xu Hao asked softly.

During this time, everyone had been hiding things from him.

From Professor Zhou Xuemin, the Dean of the Dragon Academy of Sciences, to Professor Shen and the others, it was all the same.

No matter how he asked, they would always brush him off with the phrase 'routine meeting'.

Xu Hao knew nothing.

He was very angry!

No matter what had happened, he felt that he should have the right to know?

Why hide it from him?!

The smile on Elder Long's face instantly froze, and Professor Zhou Xuemin, standing to the side, awkwardly touched his sparse white hair.

Good grief!

Only Xiao Hao would dare to speak to Elder Long like this.

If it were anyone else, even the Head of State, Elder Long would likely be furious.

But now, not only was Elder Long not angry, but after the smile faded from his face, there was a faint hint of apology.

Because the decision to hide it from Xu Hao was made by him!

"I..." Elder Long made a gesture to explain, but Xu Hao interrupted with a slightly softer tone: "Elder Long, Professor Zhou Xuemin, I know you intentionally hid it from me for my own good, or rather, to protect me and keep me from being distracted."

"But blind protection cannot fundamentally solve the problem."

"I came to Longdu specifically today because I want to ask clearly: what exactly happened?"

Professor Zhou Xuemin wanted to start explaining, but Elder Long waved his hand.

Looking at Xu Hao, he sighed softly.

"Things have reached this point, it is time for you to know."

Subsequently, he said to Professor Zhou Xuemin: "Zhou Xuemin, explain it to Xiao Hao in detail..."

Xu Hao's gaze shifted to Professor Zhou Xuemin.

Upon hearing this, Professor Zhou Xuemin took a deep breath, looked at Xu Hao, his eyes flickering: "Three months ago, in the face of extreme weather, the Head of State personally authorized, under the guidance of the Dragon State Council, the establishment of the Supernatural Special Research Group..."

Professor Zhou Xuemin recounted everything from the past three months, from the establishment of the Supernatural Special Research Group, the research conducted, to the final research summary.

"Through the research findings of the Supernatural Special Research Group, composed of professional talents from observatories, the Meteorological Bureau, and dozens of disciplines."

"In the coming days, extreme weather will occur frequently, and natural disasters will follow one after another."

"Ten years from now, sunspots will erupt, the magnetic fields of the North and South Poles of Blue Star will become chaotic, and Blue Star will enter the era of the Ice Age catastrophe."

"Cold waves will strike, snow and ice will cover everything, the entire Blue Star will be completely frozen, and all living things will be unable to escape death, falling into eternal slumber."

"The era of human civilization will end here, until the sunspots return to calmness..."

After finishing, Professor Zhou Xuemin let out a long sigh; his already weathered face was now filled with sorrow.

The wrinkles etched by time seemed to deepen significantly at this moment.

After listening to Professor Zhou Xuemin's words, Xu Hao's eyes widened instantly, as if struck by a bolt from the blue.

With a 'boom', his entire brain seemed to explode!

How could this be?!

Ten years from now, sunspots will erupt.

The entire Blue Star will be completely frozen?!

His mind went blank, his face full of disbelief.

Xu Hao knew.

During this period, the weather had been abnormal, and many natural disasters had erupted.

He had also been guessing in his heart.

The tricky problem the country was facing should be how to solve these intensifying natural disasters.

But he never expected that things would completely exceed his expectations!

That so-called tricky problem was actually related to the lives of all the people on the entire Blue Star!

He had learned about knowledge in this area and had also seen similar movies.

Sunspots erupt, temperatures rise abnormally and continuously.

The North and South Pole magnetic fields reverse, and natural disasters occur frequently.

Then, the temperature gradually drops sharply, and cold weather occupies the vast majority of the year.

Then.

Snowy weather becomes more frequent, cold waves strike instantly, sweeping across the globe, and wherever they go, everything is frozen.

The entire Blue Star will completely become a world of ice and snow!

Human civilization will be completely ended!!

For a long time, Xu Hao could not recover from this explosive news.

Inside The Compound, it was quiet; neither Elder Long nor Professor Zhou Xuemin spoke, allowing Xu Hao to digest the news properly.

The atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.

Xu Hao could almost hear his own chaotic, thumping heartbeat.

He could also feel the blood in his body, as if half of it had solidified.

His limbs were stiff, and his brain, usually incomparably clear, seemed somewhat hesitant at this moment.

After a long time, Xu Hao slowly came back to his senses, looking at Elder Long, his expression very complex.

"Is there no way... to stop it?"

Elder Long shook his head silently, his face full of despair and helplessness.

Xu Hao's whole body instantly deflated.

He deeply felt a sense of powerlessness.

In the face of such a cosmic disaster, human power is too insignificant.

And it was just when Xu Hao was wandering and ignorant, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, a voice from the soul, like the sound of nature, rang out deep in his mind: "Ding!"

"Detected that the host has encountered an epic-level calamity and desperate situation, humanity is facing a survival crisis."

"[MOSS Technology System] Forced Upgrade!!!"

"May I ask the host, do you wish to upgrade?!"
