Extraterrestrial civilizations.
Until a month ago, these two terms were quite unfamiliar to most people. However, in just one month, these two words have become the words that most people talk about.
More than a week ago, rumors about extraterrestrial civilizations swept the entire Internet, fueled by Transwarp Trade and the Future People Group, completely igniting a storm of public opinion.
T viruses and X2 bacteria have long tormented the nerves of modern people, and the revelation of their connection to extraterrestrial civilizations caused earthquakes around the world.
Interestingly, it is obvious to those who are interested that the order of disclosure of the entire news is quite "rhythmic".
At the beginning, it was only revealed by "informed sources" that the outer space security summit was a defensive summit held for extraterrestrial civilizations.
Then, an unnamed official from one country came forward to say that the spacecraft of an extraterrestrial civilization is on its way to Earth, and has already crossed a distance of several light years, and the government is discussing dedicating 5% of GDP to the construction of extrasolar colony ships.
The sprouts of escapism ignited panic in the hearts of all those who followed the incident. The people are not stupid, no matter how big this colonial ship is, they will definitely not have a chance to get a ticket.
Either everyone lives together or dies together.
Such arguments may seem contrary to universal values, but most people living at the bottom know very well that this is their only hope of survival. Maybe they don't see that day, but no one can help but think about their descendants.
Demonstrations erupted all over the world, and the antagonism between the ranks rose to unprecedented heights, and even the new country could not stay away.
Just take the United States, for example.
After the news of extraterrestrial civilization was revealed, while the White House was busy fighting fires, Wall Street bigwigs completely tore off the disguise on their faces.
The Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium have united a number of Wall Street banks to issue a number of funds named Noah's Ark and the USS Columbus in a non-public manner, and set a subscription threshold of $10 million.
This fund will be used to build extrasolar colony ships, with one "ticket" for each share of the fund and one "ticket" for every ten shares of the fund.
But there is no impermeable wall in this world.
As soon as the fund was revealed, it caused an uproar on the American Internet.
A member of Congress condemned the fund in Congress and proposed a ban on it, only to be kicked out of his party the next day. When I saw him again on the third day, he had already transformed himself into a civilian hero, standing on the streets of Washington, D.C., and surrounding the White House with a parade.
Then on the fifth day, the brave parliamentarian was found "committing suicide" in his home with several shots.
On the sixth day, his portrait was seen in the Occupy Wall Street march. At one point, protesters clashed with riot police, and blast shields and tear gas made the scene extremely chaotic......
In addition to the controversial "Noah's Ark" fund, Silicon Valley has also given birth to a number of terrestrial planet exploration companies, which have obtained funding from investors by searching for terrestrial planets in hundreds of millions of galaxies and developing colonization programs.
In addition to the controversy between escapism and anti-escapism, many strange arguments have been born in this storm of public opinion.
For example, capitulationism.
Just when everyone was terrified of the colony ships of the extraterrestrial civilization, Greenpeace stood up. This group that claims to love and peace claims that extraterrestrial civilizations on the way may have come with peaceful intentions, believing that their aggressive intentions are nothing more than human pride and prejudice.
At the same time, they declared that rash military action would only provoke a war between two civilizations, and warned "some" not to make the wrong choice.
If it were just words, the group also unleashed its global influence, organizing two mass demonstrations in New China. Both parades were suppressed by police drones, and they turned their attention to the space elevator of Star Ring Trade and launched a campaign to occupy the space elevator.
Soon, they paid for their stupidity.
Transwarp Trade was not as talkative as the new government, and the special operations brigade stationed at the base station on the sea directly detained all the demonstrators with live ammunition, and the court completed the trial as quickly as possible, without giving them a chance to appeal, and threw them into prison.
The thunderous wrist of the Star Ring Trade finally calmed down some people's brains and recognized who was the master of this country.
However, the high-pressure measures have not been without side effects, and for more than two weeks, the domestic situation in the new country has been quite unstable, so much so that the presidential palace has had to issue a document to tighten the issuance of tourist visas.
Of course, for the colonists on the Martian colony, none of this is what happened on Earth. Maybe after a while, when they were on the phone with their loved ones, they could hear a few words about the riot on the phone, but for now, aliens are still very strange to them.
Or rather, a very unsettling existence.
After returning to the colony, it was only one day before Kesim's big mouth shook out the anomalies that had been investigated underground at the 071 mine. Now that the entire colony knew that there might be Martians buried under their feet, the atmosphere in the colony cabin suddenly became strange.
Just when Hong Zewei, the captain of the Martian colony, was having a headache about how to write this report, the new president Zhang Yaping had already finished his visit to China and took a special plane to Russia.
The negotiations in China were not all smooth sailing, but the two sides reached agreement on core issues and defined the basic framework of the outer space defense alliance, driven by common threats and tangible benefits.
He got off the plane at Moscow International Airport, where he was personally greeted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who, escorted by the Russian Security Service, carried the two presidents to the Kremlin in a convoy.
Sitting opposite Putin, Zhang Yaping looked out the window at the street scene of Moscow, his eyes swept over an armored car, and asked casually.
"What's going on lately?"
"There's a lot going on, depending on what you're referring to. Pugin smiled slightly and replied in English.
"What do you need armored vehicles to solve?" Zhang Yaping said tentatively in a relaxed tone.
Knowing what he meant, Pugin grinned, then looked out the window with an indifferent expression. Zhang Yaping followed his line of sight, it was a temporary sentry set up on the street, and the soldiers on duty were looking at the convoy and saluting.
"Just three days ago, some people jumped out and persuaded me to leave a way back for the Slavs. ”
Zhang Yaping raised his eyebrows.
Before he came, he had done his homework and had some understanding of the filthy nature of the financial oligarchs and politicians in Russia.
This is also what worries him the most, if the Russian top brass tends to flee, then his negotiations today are doomed to be fruitless.
"Oh, how did you answer them?"
Until the soldier disappeared from view, Pu Jin retracted his gaze, looked at Zhang Yaping, and said lightly.
"I told them that it would be Napoleon, or Hitler, or aliens. ”
"The Kremlin is in Moscow, and the Slavs are not going anywhere. ”
"It was, it is, and it will be in the future. (To be continued.) )
