Chapter 147: Precursor to the Storm

"Mr. Speaker, are you saying that at 112°00'-112°14'E longitude and 31°54'-32°10'N latitude, ............ Oh, I'm sorry, you're sure it's not Santa's reindeer, it's not aliens coming to Earth, it's a wormhole that leads to the depths of the universe, right?"

Powell waited cautiously for a while in a solemn and silent atmosphere, and said in a tone of great conviction: "Yes, I'm sure!"

The reporters below were still digesting what this news meant, and there was a brief silence when the question was asked, and then, with a "boom!", the sound exploded, and on such a night, on this extremely solemn and formal occasion in the White House, under the attention of the world's major media, it was earth-shattering!

Then, the lights asking for questions were lit up one after another, and some people didn't even wait for permission to stand up and shout loudly, and the venue was completely chaotic, with a forest of arms, lips that kept opening and closing, gestures, telephones, and network communications to urgently contact the headquarters, and everything was done, but no one was concerned about order.

This chaos lasted for several minutes, until the door of the venue opened and a large number of security guards came in with stern expressions, and these people gradually quieted down, which can be regarded as a preliminary digestion of the impact.

A lucky blonde was named, she stood up, and she almost tripped over herself because of the rush and haste of her movements: "I'm Catherine, a special correspondent for the BBC, Mr. Spokesman, I have just checked this latitude and longitude, it is located in China, what is the position of the US government on this?"

"An hour ago, we conveyed to the other side the attitude of the United States of America through the official channels of this great discovery, and there is no doubt that this is the greatest discovery of this century, which is of great importance to all mankind, and helps us to understand the universe, to understand space, and its scientific value is beyond doubt, so our position is that it belongs to all mankind, and yes, we ask for an international investigation to be formed, and we ask that it be discussed at the session of the General Assembly!"

"I'm sorry, I doubt the authenticity of this news, may I ask Mr. Spokesman, does the White House have any conclusive evidence?" another reporter stood up and directly asked the focus of everyone's main concern.

"Of course. The spokesman replied, the scene was another commotion, on the LCD screen behind, a high-definition satellite photo appeared, the venue was silent for two seconds, "click, click, click......", the continuous flash made the speaker's eyes can't open, in fact, everyone present in this picture will have, but no one can think of this, people are just instinctive, to record this moment.

Another two minutes passed before people had the energy to take a closer look at the high-resolution image.

"Oh God......"

"It looks like it's real, John, you're an expert at photography, take a good look, could it be some kind of refraction of light, like the Northern Lights, or like those funny UFO photos?"

"No, no, dear, believe me, look at this whirlpool, this ribbon of light flowing on the edge...... It's true, and of course if it weren't synthesized, I don't think the White House would be bored with this kind of joke, so, don't doubt it!"

"Oh my God, it's on a bridge, and the locals are covering it up! Hell, it's banditry, it doesn't belong to any one person, one country, it belongs to all mankind!"

"But man, it's on that red land, not in Europe, not in the Americas, not in the Middle East, not in any part of the territory that we control, it's in such a land, so......... It's a game between civilized people, you say?"

"Whatever, as long as I see it with my own eyes, I don't care who I make a deal with, even if it's the devil!"

"Next statement!" the spokesman changed the text, "about the ............ of the Olympic torch."

The time difference, when the world's major media overwhelmingly reported, the White House's press conference to get the hot news, Xiangcheng's clock just pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon, compared to the media noise, most of the ordinary people who heard the news for the first time are generally suspicious, the world's official mouthpiece is silent, after all, a photo is just a photo, far from relying on this, on the basis of hasty determination of a country's official attitude.

In fact, this press conference was more of a tentative, and as for what to probe is self-evident.

However, when the sudden changes in the international situation are transmitted to the country, it cannot be handled calmly at all, and the secret seems to be more and more difficult to conceal, and what kind of steps should be taken next, and how to strive for the greatest interests of this country are the core of the problem now.

“…… To sum up, we believe that Wu Chen's dictation should be true, he has gained some abilities on the so-called "transcendent battlefield" that we don't know yet, as for who built this "transcendent battlefield", who is this "he", and how did the wormhole come about...... We need to continue to study and observe!"

A video conference, connecting the command of the front line and the core located in the rear, the heads of the three parties of soldiers, experts, and officials reported to their superiors in this secret room, the details of the development of the situation to the present and the latest progress, on the other end of the video, several old people left the screen range, gathered together for a little discussion, and a man in a strict tunic walked into the screen and asked a question: "How to explain that the wormhole is later than the appearance of this Wu Chen?"

The heads of the three parties glanced at each other, and Academician Wang, who was in charge of scientific research, stepped forward: "Combined with the details of these 20,000 crossings, we believe that the wormhole may have appeared a long time ago, or it may be that the "extraordinary battlefield" and the wormhole have no inevitable decisive relationship, at least these 20,000 people have never physically entered the wormhole!"

"So, how do you explain the five who came back from a foreign land for the first time?"

According to the descriptions of these five people and our analysis, the "Extraordinary Battlefield" and the alien planet are two completely different entities, and as for the relationship between them, we are sorry and need further research and observation. ”

On the screen, the man in the tunic looked back and listened for a while, "You have to pay attention, 10,000 people are missing at a time, and the fate of thousands of people is unknown, and the situation cannot happen for the third time, we must be responsible for the safety of people's lives and property, this is the bottom limit, as for this Wu Chen...... In principle, agree with the opinion of the front-line command, first contact and observe for a period of time!"

All three breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"But...... Since he said that he is a son, a husband, and a father, it means that he recognizes the value of being a person, so does he have this identification with the land under his feet? Does he have this identification with our nation? You know, the identification is mutual, it depends on your work, why don't I see any progress in this aspect in the report?"

The three of them suddenly fidgeted a little and agreed?Well, they really didn't think of this, and they all subconsciously treated Wu Chen as a non-human.

In this way, the sun is about to set on July 13, there will be murmurs abroad, there will be a temporary calm at home, and the first lucky ones to set foot on the transcendent battlefield are about to start a new journey. For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
