197: Chapter 196 The Continuation of Civilization! Declaring War on the Heavens!

"Host, would you like to upgrade?"

The system's cold, unfeeling voice—yet at this very moment, Xu Hao found it to be so pleasant.

His eyes trembled, a surge of joy welling up within him.

That's right!

He had actually forgotten that he still had the system.

Moreover, the system had been brewing an upgrade for the past few days, and now it had triggered a mission and forced an upgrade!

Without a second thought, Xu Hao immediately chose to upgrade.

"System, upgrade!"

The system space suddenly dimmed.

"Upgrading…"

He didn't wait long before the system lit up again.

The upgraded system had completely changed.

The entire interface had become much simpler, and the color had turned snow-white.

At the very top was the Exchange Points column.

Because of the successful development of the Nuclear-powered Aircraft Carrier, his Exchange Points had now reached 3,000,000.

The main interface was divided into three sections: the Technological Civilization Blueprint Mall, the Epoch Civilization Blueprint Mall, and one yet-to-be-unlocked blueprint mall.

On the right was the taskbar.

In the box below the taskbar was a 'Disaster Forecast' similar to a weather forecast.

It was providing real-time forecasts of natural disasters occurring across Blue Star.

Madan, 15:20, will encounter a storm...

Liberia, 21:38, a flood will sweep through a town, causing thousands of casualties...

Fiji, 18th, 14:25, will encounter a tropical storm, no casualties...

It was predicting every second, broadcasting in a scrolling format.

Seeing this, Xu Hao was instantly astonished.

"Isn't this... the ability to foresee the future?"

He sighed in his heart.

However, this ability to foresee the future was specifically for predicting future natural disasters.

But this was still incredibly awesome!

For humanity, if disasters could be known in advance, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the harm caused by natural disasters and minimize the loss of life and property.

Xu Hao felt a faint sense of excitement, and his confidence grew.

His gaze returned to the two 'Blueprint Malls', and just as he was about to click to take a look, the system's voice sounded again.

"Blue Star Epic Disaster Mission Issued!"

"Mission Description:"

"The Solar System's cosmic position has undergone a subtle change, and its rotation laws have altered. According to dust particle analysis, the sun's rotation may be about to enter a star system dense with dust particles!"

"The sun's instability is increasing sharply!"

"The North and South Pole glaciers are changing, the north and south magnetic fields are beginning to reverse, and the atmosphere is carrying iodine ions and cosmic dust. Sunlight will be obscured, temperatures will drop, and rain and snow will be constant!"

"Sunspot eruptions are causing the sun to fall into a state of complete chaos. Blue Star's climate is becoming unpredictable, with abnormal high temperatures, cold waves striking, and thousands of miles frozen."

"The home that humanity relies on for survival will completely sink into a world of ice and snow!"

"Main Mission:"

"Build a human home and continue human civilization!"

"The system is officially renamed: [MOSS Technology Intelligence System]!"

The system paused for a moment after this broadcast.

Then, it instructed:

"The continuation of human civilization is left to you!"

After the system finished speaking, Xu Hao felt as if his entire body had been enveloped by something.

An indescribable current of air drilled into every part of his body through his countless pores.

He didn't know if it was psychological or if it was actually happening.

Xu Hao felt that his mind seemed to have become clearer!

Even his body had become much lighter, and the strength in his limbs seemed to have increased significantly.

Could it be that after the system upgrade, it also had the function of modifying the body?

Xu Hao shook his head, brushing this thought from his mind.

The urgent priority was how to solve the survival crisis facing Blue Star.

These trivial personal matters could be studied later when there was time; it didn't matter.

Before long, his consciousness returned to the real world.

Although he had been immersed in the system for a long time.

But in the outside world, it had only been the blink of an eye.

Professor Zhou and the others naturally did not know everything Xu Hao had just experienced.

He took a deep breath, and the dejection in his eyes was swept away.

Replacing it was a sharp and confident edge.

Seeing this, Elder Long and Professor Zhou were instantly startled.

Xu Hao was still the same Xu Hao, so why did they always feel something was different?

Especially the aura about him.

Just a moment ago, after Xu Hao heard Professor Zhou Xuemin's words, although he hadn't shown an expression of panic, Elder Long and Professor Zhou could still clearly feel that sense of helplessness and gloom.

But now!

Xu Hao was full of confidence and determination, radiating an unstoppable aura from the inside out!

They didn't know what had happened to Xu Hao.

However, seemingly infected by this confidence on Xu Hao, the gloom in their hearts also dissipated quite a bit at this moment.

Elder Long made a move to speak and ask what exactly had happened to him.

But Xu Hao's eyes were like torches as he asked in a deep voice:

"Elder Long, how does the Dragon Kingdom's leadership plan to face this Blue Star Crisis?"

Since the system had successfully upgraded and had clearly issued the main mission—build a human home and continue human civilization!

This meant that, in the face of this unprecedented global crisis, it was entirely possible to deal with it through the system.

However, even so, Xu Hao still needed to know the intentions of the Dragon Kingdom's leadership.

Hearing this, Elder Long's eyes dimmed slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Hao frowned, and he immediately knew the leadership's intentions.

But upon reflection, it was inevitable.

With the current level of technology, trying to contend with the sun, the overlord of the universe, was no different from throwing an egg against a rock; there was not a shred of chance of winning.

Xu Hao didn't mean to blame them.

If he were the big boss, and if he didn't have the system, he was afraid he would also have made a plan to 'wait for death'.

And this was the real reason why Elder Long, Professor Zhou, and the leadership chose not to announce this matter.

Instead of letting the citizens of the Dragon Kingdom spend their last ten years on Blue Star in a daze and fear, it was better to let them relax completely, live without worry, and enjoy this last bit of good time.

Because this time, it really was 'facing life and death together'!

But now, he was afraid it wouldn't be necessary.

Xu Hao nodded slightly and said calmly: "I understand!"

Then, he took a deep breath.

A warm and confident smile welled up on his handsome face.

His eyes were very bright and also very profound.

Xu Hao looked at the two elders and said calmly and firmly:

"Elder Long, Professor Zhou! Perhaps this era of disaster will not be as terrifying or desperate as you imagine!"

"Human civilization has continued for nearly 6 million years; no matter what kind of disaster it encounters, human civilization will always continue."

"Moreover, who said that this global Ice Age crisis caused by the sunspot eruption definitely cannot be solved?"

"Man can conquer nature! This is not just chicken soup for the soul to comfort oneself, but a determination and courage to face death without fear."

"Fighting against the heavens is the very foundation of the continuation of human civilization!"

"From slash-and-burn cultivation to today's interconnectedness, human civilization has always been nourished and thrived on this land."

"Although disaster will descend and Blue Star may be frozen for thousands of miles!"

"But! The 400 million citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, not a single one will be missing!"

"We! Should declare war against the heavens!"

After Xu Hao said this, his pupils constricted.

An imposing aura burst forth from his body in all directions.

His confident, resolute, and fearless aura was like a great hand striking directly at the soul, gripping the two elders' decadent and desperate hearts.

In an instant! In their minds, only Xu Hao's stalwart figure remained.

And the endless despair and dejection brought about by the sunspot eruption had actually disappeared without a trace at this moment!
