I really just want to be a scholar

Sun Bingfei is video chatting with his girlfriend in the dormitory of Qingmu University, a doctoral student in mathematics. It is impossible to date in such a blizzard weather. Sun Bingfei is usually under a lot of academic pressure, and his girlfriend has graduated early. , currently managing the family business, there are even fewer opportunities for the two to meet.

Sun Bingfei used to have some potential as a playboy. He and Jiang Xiaopang, who is also a rich second generation, have similar interests and can have three girlfriends a year. But now this girlfriend has good conditions in all aspects and has a gentle personality. Sun Bingfei is sincerely devoted to her. The two of them have met their parents and discussed marriage. They are just waiting for Dr. Sun Bingfei to get a marriage certificate after graduating.

While he was talking sweetly to his girlfriend, there was a sudden knock on the door. Sun Bingfei thought it was his roommate Liang Shaoping who had returned. He couldn't help but wonder how the attentive Liang Shaoping could forget to bring the key, and how could he knock on the door so urgently.

He said hello to his girlfriend and got up to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw Fatty Jiang who was sweating profusely.

Sun Bingfei said in surprise: "Little Fatty, why do you look like your butt is on fire?"

The two lived in the same doctoral student dormitory, but Jiang Xiaopang lived on the third floor and Sun Bingfei lived on the fifth floor. Although the two had a good relationship, they did not visit frequently. Anyway, they could see each other every day in the study room.

Jiang Xiaopang wiped his sweat and said, "Something big happened to our Brother Ke! Have you read the hot searches?"

"Brother Ke? What could happen to him?" For Sun Bingfei, Qin Ke is both his mentor and a good friend. How could he not be nervous after hearing such news?

Sun Bingfei said a few words to his girlfriend in the mobile video, then hung up the video call and quickly opened his scarf.

Sure enough, an entry titled #秦克 deceived everyone# was ranked first in the hot search, and the bright red word "explosion" showed how popular this hot search was.

There is a saying that this hot search is indeed quite headline-grabbing. At least Sun Bingfei couldn’t help but click on it after seeing it.

The hot search content is a picture, all in English, but someone has posted a Chinese translation.

"He risked his life to expose that Qin Ke, a world-famous scientist, deliberately concealed the news that the planet was about to be destroyed, and has been gathering scientists from all over the world to secretly build a spaceship. By then, only about one million elites and dignitaries from around the world will be able to board. If you board this spaceship and avoid the catastrophe, the remaining billions of humans will perish together with this planet! Here is the evidence: "

Below this summary text are data records of more and more frequent natural disasters around the world in recent years, all of which are public reports by major media, and point out that these frequent and severe extreme disasters are signs of the impending destruction of the planet, and the world will soon be destroyed. It will usher in an ending similar to the movie "2012".

Then there are the confessions of several famous professors who claimed to be involved in this project and "cannot bear the torture of conscience". Basically, they support the above point of view. They also focus on mentioning that the first spacecraft is currently in the outer suburbs of the capital city of Xia Kingdom. It is being built in a deserted ridge. In order to hide it from others, the construction base there is also built in the shape of a TV tower. It is heavily guarded and all traffic is blocked. No one can approach without permission.

The author in the article also said that in the next few years, more spaceships will be built around the world for the "upper class" and their families to escape from this planet that is about to be destroyed!

At the end, this emotional and outrageous article is accompanied by several photos, including Qin Ke’s “World Conference of Ten Thousand Thousand Scientists” and several photos of huge buildings taken through satellites.

The photos have time watermarks, and you can see how a huge and magnificent building gradually took shape.

At the end, the author of this article wrote: "We, the public, have the right to know the truth, and we have the right to survive! Life is equal, and those who are eligible to escape in a spaceship should not only be high-ranking officials! For this reason, we have submitted to the Media reports from various countries called for a thorough investigation into this matter, but nothing happened. This article we published on many large platforms was quickly deleted, our account was banned, and some people even contacted us to warn us! But We are not afraid! Now we are trying our best to publish this article on social software in various countries. If you can see this article, please copy it and forward it immediately so that more people can know the truth!"

"Friends in the Xia Kingdom, if you still don't believe what we are saying, go and take a look at the spacecraft construction base in the outskirts of the capital recorded in the photos. You will definitely see that a space for escape is being built. spaceship!"

"Then you will find that the great scientist who has been advocating that there will be no end of the world and has been pretentiously launching the so-called disaster prediction model is just deceiving you and letting you perish in ignorance, while he is in conflict with millions of the so-called 'upper class' Elite', escape here safe and sound and get a chance to survive!"

Sun Bingfei was stunned. He did know that Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were cooperating with scientists from all over the world to study how to deal with the increasingly severe global climate variability and endless natural disasters, but that was all. As for Whether the "end of the world" and "spaceship" mentioned above were true, he had never heard Qin Ke say it.

Sun Bingfei squeezed his thigh hard to calm down. He thought carefully, Brother Ke was not the kind of selfish person who only served the "upper class". Looking at the fields he had been studying, they were all related to ordinary people. Just know the food, fresh water, and climate disasters that are closely related to the public.

Yes, Brother Ke is not such a person!

Sun Bingfei closed the phone screen and looked at Jiang Xiaopang: "Pang, you won't believe this nonsense, will you? If there really is an end of the world, Brother Ke will be so calm and still give us guidance on papers and submit manuscripts to international journals?"

"Of course I don't believe it, but I can't help many people believing it." Jiang Xiaopang had the same view as Sun Bingfei. He sighed helplessly: "For example, many students in the school are discussing that Academician Qin has been too busy in the past year, and Academician Ning Also, they have even stopped all undergraduate classes and lectures, and have not recruited new students... I really can’t refute this.”

Sun Bingfei insisted: "Isn't that to study how to deal with these increasingly severe natural disasters? The previous 'World Conference of Ten Thousand Scientists' was also held on this theme."

"We believe it, but others may not believe it." Jiang Xiaopang sighed:

"But I am also a bit pessimistic... Can these natural disasters be dealt with? For example, now Ke Ge and his prediction model can predict earthquakes very accurately, but there is still no way to prevent earthquakes from happening. They can only reduce the disaster. If natural disasters occur in all areas one day, where can we escape? Unless we take a spaceship and fly into space. If natural disasters continue to worsen like this, it seems that the only option is to build a universe. The road to spaceships and interstellar immigration can be taken.”

Sun Bingfei kicked Xiaopang Jiang: "Thank you for being roommates with Brother Ke for so long. Brother Ke said there won't be an 'end of the world', so there definitely won't be! Even if there is, he can still prevent the end of the world." ' is coming! Taking a step back, even if he really wants to build a spaceship, Brother Ke will never leave billions of humans behind. He will definitely find ways to design and build as many spaceships as possible so that everyone can survive. !”

"We believe in Brother Ke, but others may not be able to trust him as unswervingly as we do..." Jiang Xiaopang said: "But do you know which comment has the most likes on the Internet right now? - 'Resources are limited. Yes, time is also limited. It is absolutely impossible to build a spaceship that everyone can board. At most, only a small number of elites can survive and continue the future of mankind. This is the natural law of survival of the fittest, allowing the human race to The most realistic way to continue as long as possible!'"

He sighed: "Although everyone understands the truth, who wants to be an outcast? So there are many people who believe this article and question Brother Ke... I heard that this article has been deleted many times , the related topic has been downgraded several times, but the popularity has never been suppressed. Many platforms are reposting it, changing the title... Sigh, the inciting power of this thing is too strong!"

Sun Bingfei also frowned.

Yes, this article is too inflammatory, especially since there have been too many natural disasters caused by extreme climate in recent years. Millions of people in countries around the world have been displaced due to these disasters. In every country, people feel uneasy, which is why there are more and more rumors about "the end of the world" on the Internet recently. Now this article contains detailed data, a shocking number of disasters and thumbnail photos of disasters in various places. It is even more horrifying, and it makes people realize that the world is already so "ridden" and "in danger".

Especially the previous disaster movie "2012" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Many natural disasters in the real world seem to correspond to them, and it is easy to think that these disasters are the precursors of "the planet is about to be destroyed." .

While they were talking, someone else hurriedly walked in. This time it was Liang Shaoping. He was studying in the study room on the first floor of the doctoral student dormitory. He also heard all kinds of panic rumors and hurried upstairs to find Sun Bingfei to discuss countermeasures.

Liang Shaoping also brought new news: "I heard that many network anchors have braved the wind and snow to drive to the place where the photos were recorded to see if there is really a spacecraft construction base, and they also live broadcast the whole process. These people really want to You dare to drive out in such a heavy wind and snow..."

"Traffic is money... How can they bring goods without taking advantage of the popularity?" Jiang Xiaopang looked at the two of them and asked in a low voice: "Do you think there is really a spaceship construction base?"

Sun Bingfei: "It's not surprising. Our Xia State has always been studying aerospace engineering. Doesn't the manned moon landing project also have a detailed plan?"

Jiang Xiaopang muttered: "But just use a launch vehicle to land on the moon, not a spaceship..."

Liang Shaoping suddenly said: "What's the use of guessing? Can't we just ask Brother Ke directly? It's not like we don't have his WeChat and phone number."

Jiang Xiaopang patted Liang Shaoping on the shoulder: "Shaoping, even if we ask Brother Ke, even if such an important matter is true, Brother Ke will not be able to tell us due to confidentiality requirements. Why bother to embarrass Brother Ke? Dirk , Yu Jinglin, Ashley, and Tang Xiaoyuan, haven't they been working as interns at the Chief Scientist Building for the past six months? I've asked them about their specific work content before, and they always said they couldn't disclose it to the public..."

Liang Shaoping thought so. He said worriedly: "I wonder how Brother Ke will deal with this big incident this time?"

"Yeah... Brother Leke hasn't been seen in public for a long time. At the beginning of the year, the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters decided to award this year's Abel Prize to him, his sister-in-law, and Edward Witten. They didn't go to accept the award. I heard This year's Nobel Peace Prize will also include Brother Ke and the others. Brother Ke also said hello in advance and declined in advance because he didn't have time to get the award..." Jiang Xiaopang said, spreading his hands:

"This time, he's afraid that he really has to take time out..."

……

Even Sun Bingfei, Liang Shaoping, and Jiang Zhenjie, who are most familiar with Qin Ke and have the strongest relationship with him, find it difficult to completely rule out the speculation of "the end of the world" and "escape spacecraft", let alone ordinary netizens.

Therefore, this article spread almost at a crazy speed in the online world, was translated into dozens of languages, and caused huge controversy on various social platforms in various countries.

There were discussions, suspicions and speculations everywhere, and a large number of people drove to the towering super building that they had noticed in the past to find out.

The security force of the entire "FSJT0001" venue has also become tense, and the alert level has been directly raised to level one.

Just as rumors were spreading on the Internet, and countless people were anxiously calling on Qin Ke to stand up and answer, the "Zhan Wubu Ke" account on his scarf, which had not been updated for nearly a year and a half, was suddenly updated.

"Hello, everyone, my name is Qin Ke. I didn't expect that I have been busy doing research, and after not showing up for so long, someone is still thinking about me so much, and wrote a 10,000-word article to help me increase my presence."

"Well, I've finished reading that article. It's really interesting. Some of the information is true and some of it is false. It's hard to distinguish between true and false. I can only say that the person who wrote this article is a master of playing with words."

"To be honest, I have noticed that there are more and more rumors about the 'end of the world' on the Internet, and I thought it was time for everyone to ask questions. It's just that I have been too busy recently and can't take the time to communicate with you. This is also It was my mistake. I would like to apologize to everyone in advance for not explaining the situation to everyone in time."

"At seven o'clock tonight, in the live broadcast room of Qingmu University at Station B, my wife Ning Qingyun and I will be online on time and waiting for everyone. We will spread the word and explain the situation to everyone as clearly as possible and answer all the questions that everyone is concerned about. problem, to prevent everyone from being misled by the pseudoscience and various rumors spread by those with ulterior motives, and to prevent those who deliberately and ulterior motives from making such remarks to increase traffic and obtain improper benefits!"

"But in order to let everyone have dinner in peace, let me make a conclusion here first."

"This planet will not usher in the 'end of the world'. Everyone can rest assured that they should eat, sleep, live their lives well, and prepare for natural disasters in the next two to three years."

"Although I am very interested in building spacecraft, I really don't have the time now. When I start building it in the future, I will definitely tell everyone and let everyone know how soon space tourism will be possible."

"Okay, I still have to coax the baby and have dinner. Is it almost time for everyone to get off work? Be careful on the road. See you tonight!"

"Qin Ke"

Qin Ke's scarf was released for only a few minutes, but it quickly exploded on the Internet around the world!
