Chapter 183 Icebreaker
In the solemn and dignified United Nations General Assembly Hall, representatives from all over the world gathered together, and everyone's eyes were focused on the main podium.
Lu Mingfei was wearing a well-tailored black suit, his face was calm, and his eyes showed a deep calmness. He walked slowly to the podium, his golden pupils flickering slightly under the bright lights.
He stood still and adjusted the microphone, then said in a calm and clear tone: "Hello everyone, I am the current Prime Minister of Japan. You can call me Yuan Yusuke or Lu Mingfei."
This simple sentence, like throwing a stone into a lake, caused whispers and slight commotion in the audience. At this moment, it was not only because of his identity, but also because of his speech to the world at the press conference that shocked the world a few days ago.
Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, his eyes swept across the venue, and continued, "A few days ago, I revealed a secret to the world in Tokyo, a secret that had been hidden for thousands of years, about the dragon race, about hybrids."
He continued calmly, "This is not a legend, nor a myth. Dragons really exist. They once ruled the world. The hybrids were created to fight against the dragons. They are the path humans have chosen to fight for survival."
The hall gradually became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Mingfei, waiting for his next words.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and said, "I know that this information may subvert your cognition and even make you feel scared, but I am standing here not to scare you, but to unite you."
"The threat from the dragons is real, but they are not the only disaster we need to face. I dare say that the crises in the future will exceed those of the dragons and even exceed our imagination. This world needs every country, every race, and every human being to stand together to face the challenges that may destroy human civilization."
Lu Mingfei raised his head and looked at every representative present with a firm gaze: "Today's United Nations is not just for discussing affairs between countries, but to find a way out for the common survival of mankind. We need mutual cooperation, trust, and joint efforts."
The whole place was silent, with only his clear voice echoing in the hall: "I assure you that Japan will devote all its efforts to the battle against the dragons. At the same time, I also call on countries around the world to jointly deal with even more terrifying crises."
Lu Mingfei took out a document and said, "This is a report on solar helium flash."
"I believe that some of the countries present here, especially those that have mastered advanced astronomical technology, have discovered some abnormal phenomena. This report is based on a joint study by scientists from many countries about a possibility, the possibility of a solar helium flash."
The whispers in the audience gradually became louder, many people lowered their heads to talk, and the expressions of some representatives began to become nervous.
“Solar helium flash.” Lu Mingfei repeated the word in a stern tone, “This is not an illusion in science fiction, nor is it the conjecture of some extreme scholars, but a real threat that is brewing.”
"According to this report, helium fusion inside the sun is accumulating in an abnormal way, which means that once a helium flash occurs, the entire solar system will be destroyed and the earth, including all of us, will be reduced to dust in an instant."
The hall suddenly became quiet, as if even the sound of breathing had disappeared, with only Lu Mingfei's voice continuing to echo.
"The threat from the dragons is imminent, but the solar helium flash will be the ultimate devastating crisis. This is a common threat that transcends any nation, race, belief, or culture. This is not just a problem for Japan or the mixed race, but a problem for all of humanity."
He put down the documents, and his tone became soft but firm: "Dear representatives, I know this information is unbelievable and even makes people feel desperate, but we cannot be controlled by fear. It is precisely because of crises like this that we need to work more closely together."
Lu Mingfei looked at every corner of the venue: "I call on all countries and all human elites to form a transnational coalition government that transcends traditional politics, and jointly invest resources and wisdom to study, confront, and find ways to deal with this ultimate crisis."
"We don't have much time." His voice was heard above all the discussions. "If we continue to waste time on our differences, what will greet us is not the future, but the end of the world."
The venue was silent for a moment, and then low voices of discussion gradually emerged.
"Today, I stand here not only as the Prime Minister of Japan, but also as a human being, to make the most sincere request to you - let us work together for the future of the earth and the future of mankind."
After saying this, he bowed deeply, and the entire hall fell silent again. Everyone was speechless due to the earth-shaking news and the heavy responsibility.
"We in Japan will start to solve the problem of the dragon race. The most important thing is that we hope everyone will take the solar helium flash seriously."
The moment Lu Mingfei stepped down from the podium, the entire United Nations General Assembly Hall maintained an almost frozen silence. Representatives from various countries around the conference table were talking in low voices, some were quickly flipping through the documents that had just been distributed, and some were lost in deep thought with complicated expressions.
Below the stage, a national representative frowned slightly. He turned to a page in the report in his hand and his expression suddenly became serious. He turned his head and whispered a few words to the assistant beside him. The assistant nodded and hurriedly left the venue, apparently arranging a follow-up investigation.
Every representative present realized that this conference had gone beyond the scope of any previous diplomatic agenda. What Lu Mingfei revealed was not only the existence of dragons and hybrids, but also the ultimate threat to the survival of human civilization as a whole.
When Lu Mingfei left the meeting room and stepped into the lounge prepared for him, the secretary handed him a new document.
"Prussia has already prepared the personnel and equipment. They will cooperate with Japanese scientists to complete the next phase of observation tasks." The secretary reported in a low voice.
"I understand. You go down first." Lu Mingfei took the report and waved his hand.
"Brother, are you really going to the Arctic Ocean next?" Lu Mingze's figure appeared again.
"If the thing in there senses your presence, it will go crazy. We may not be its opponent."
Lu Mingfei gently closed the report in his hand, placed it on the table, and stared out the window. The lights of the tall buildings of the United Nations headquarters outside the window reflected a prosperous yet depressing atmosphere in the night.
He sighed and turned to look at the vague yet familiar figure beside him: "Lu Mingze, if we don't go to the Arctic Ocean, what choice do we have? The Black King's eggs are there, and Prussia's data also confirmed its abnormal activity. Didn't you say before that someone is accelerating its hatching? If it hatches successfully, we will not only have to face the solar helium flash, but also an awakened Dragon King."
"Even if you are my brother, you may not be able to prevent its revival."
"I know." Lu Mingfei turned around and said, "But we have no choice. Whether it is Helium Flash or Black King, any threat is enough to destroy the world, and I can't allow this to happen."…………
At the same time, in a conference room on the other side of the United Nations, several core representatives were holding an emergency closed-door meeting.
"What do you think of the information provided by Lu Mingfei?" a representative asked in a low voice.
"It has a certain degree of credibility." Another country's scientific advisor quickly flipped through the report, frowning, "Our previous observation data did capture some abnormal nuclear fusion activities, but the information provided by Lu Mingfei is more detailed than what we have. It is obvious that Japan has invested a lot of effort in this field."
"If it's true, we must take action as soon as possible." A representative who looked like a general said coldly, "But I am more worried about Lu Mingfei's intentions. The coalition government he proposed may very well mean a new system that goes beyond the United Nations. He wants to use this crisis to gain more international voice."
"Now is not the time to discuss power!" Another representative slapped the table, his tone excited, "We are talking about the survival of the entire earth! Lu Mingfei's report provides a clue. What we should do is unite all forces instead of guessing his intentions!"
There was an endless debate in the conference room, and everyone's expression was filled with complex and conflicting emotions.
…………
A few days later, Lu Mingfei arrived in the Arctic Ocean on the YAMAL icebreaker.
The YAMAL icebreaker is the most powerful "Arctic-class" icebreaker. Its hard armored bow can break six-meter-high ice. Two heavy water reactors provide it with inexhaustible power, but now it has been decorated as a luxury cruise ship.
This icebreaker is very luxurious. There are 56 luxurious guest rooms designed on the six floors above the deck line where sunlight can be seen, but only 55 rooms can be booked at any time. The super luxurious suite occupying the entire top floor is the permanent private room of the cruise company owner.
Lu Mingfei was sitting in the 56th room on the top floor of the icebreaker.
The luxury of this bedroom is shocking. The floor is burgundy marble, the wallpaper is gorgeous peacock green, and the crystal glass of the chandelier is mixed with gold powder, making the tone of the light close to that of sunlight. Every color here is vibrant, and their intersection reminds people of a tropical rain forest in bloom. The towering bookshelves are filled with classic philosophical works.
A beautiful girl with clear eyes, wearing a black long skirt and a black cloak placed a steaming cup of coffee in front of Lu Mingfei.
"Thank you, are you Maria? I still remember that you wrote me a letter when I was an ace pilot. You should be 130 years old now. I didn't expect you to be still so beautiful." Lu Mingfei exclaimed as he looked at the girl in front of him.
"Mr. Hans, my name is Reggie Reif, and Star Maria is my grandmother. I'm sorry you're late. My grandmother passed away a few years ago." The girl said beside her.
"Really? I thought I could see an old guy from the same era. Never mind. I heard that your grandmother traveled to the Arctic Ocean with the Führer in 1943, and only the Führer and your grandmother survived on the ship." Lu Mingfei asked.
"As far as I know, yes..." Rigidrev nodded slightly, her eyes lowered, as if recalling the history that was passed down by the family but full of mystery.
Her voice was low and soft. "When my grandmother was alive, she would occasionally mention the trip to the Arctic Ocean. She said it was a journey accompanied by myths. A ship full of people stepped into an unknown territory, but only she and the Führer came back alive. All the records were destroyed, and only my grandmother left some fragments in her diary."
"What kind of fragment?" Lu Mingfei asked, his golden pupils shrinking slightly, and he was obviously very interested in this mystery.
Rigidrev raised her head slightly, looked at the man in front of her who was called "Prime Minister", and said tentatively: "She once mentioned that there is some kind of indescribable existence deep in the icy ocean. It is sleeping in the cold abyss, as if waiting for some kind of call, and the Führer... he seems to have reached some kind of agreement with that existence in some way."
Lu Mingfei frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the coffee cup in his hand, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he asked, "Did your grandmother mention how those crew members died?"
Ridgelev shook her head, with an inexplicable fear on her face. "She never described it in detail, but she said that those people did not die in ordinary accidents, nor did they freeze to death or starve to death, but... some kind of power. The word she used was 'devour'."
Lu Mingfei fell into a brief contemplation, tapping his fingers lightly on the table. He knew that the secrets under the Arctic Ocean were more complicated and more dangerous than he had imagined.
"Do you know what they found at that time?" Lu Mingfei's tone was calm, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Rigidrev hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Grandmother mentioned that there seemed to be something under the sea. That thing was emitting a strange light under the ice, like the pulse of some kind of life."
“That should be it.” Lu Mingfei whispered to himself, his eyes turning slightly colder.
He put down his coffee cup, stood up, walked to the porthole, and looked out at the endless ice field.
Rigidrev stood behind him and asked softly, "Are you really going to look for it? My grandmother once wrote in her diary, 'The abyss of the Arctic Ocean is a forbidden place, and the life there cannot be touched.'"
Lu Mingfei was silent for a moment, then turned around with a cold determination in his eyes: "I must go. Whether the Black King wakes up or not, this threat cannot be left to future generations."
Ridgelife nodded.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Lu Mingfei's secretary walked in quickly and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Prime Minister, the scientific team is ready, and the Prussian representatives are also waiting for your instructions."
Lu Mingfei nodded, thanked Reggie Reeves, and then walked out.
As he walked out of the room, he whispered to himself, "Lu Mingze, you said I'm no match for it, but who else can face it except me?"
Beside his ears, Lu Mingze's familiar voice rang out: "Brother, it's not that I don't think highly of you, but... when you walk into the abyss, the abyss will also stare at you."
