Chapter 27: Where Did the Planet Go?
Less than an hour after NASA received the image data from TESS, the White House convened an emergency meeting, and the people invited to the meeting were all high-level officials of the United States.
The pictures that once appeared in the main control room of the space agency were also moved to the display screen of the conference room as promised!
In the picture, there is a dazzling starry sky, and the colorful stars decorate it beautifully, even people who have no artistic cells will marvel at its beauty.
However, there is a glowing star in this picture that grows too big and is too discordant......
As we all know, due to gravity, cosmic stars are spherical, and this star is too long and flat to be illogical.
In the second picture, the picture of this oblate star has been zoomed in closer, and it can be clearly seen that it looks like a person, no, it is a person!
As the saying goes, there is no contrast, there is no harm, compared to the whole starry sky picture, this person is indeed very small, but when compared to the planet next to it that is only a small spot of light, this person is extremely huge!
People who are hundreds of times larger than the planet, this ...... Is it really human?
The people in the conference room opened their mouths in surprise and looked at each other, all of them seeing the disbelief on each other's faces, a look of daylight.
The question is, what did such a big person, well, even if he was an alien, grow up eating?
When I saw the third picture, the slightly open mouths of everyone in the conference room could already stuff a duck egg, and the image in the picture was clearly enlarged, and the huge light man was like a god, standing on the purple-gold "nebula", and the circle of light behind the head bloomed with immeasurable brilliance......
The brilliant brilliance radiates outward, rising wider and wider, just like the dawn aurora rising in the long night, cutting through the cosmic starry sky, completely covering a corner of the starry sky image under the brilliance, which is extremely conspicuous.
The fourth picture is much simpler, all the brilliance has dissipated without a trace, and the huge light man is still standing in the starry sky, but the whole starry sky image seems to be missing a corner, compared to other light spots, the right light is over, and the fan-shaped area at a 30-degree angle is a black one, like a clean blackboard, which is very incompatible, and it is precisely because of this that it makes people think about it carefully!
Where do the more than 100 planets on this go?
After a short and oppressive silence, the conference room exploded completely, and there was a heated debate about who the huge light man was, where the stars in the large starry sky area above, and whether the image was true or false.
Some of the people trembled slightly, excited, frightened, trembling, and their incredulous tones filled the entire conference room, as if this was the way to vent their negative emotions such as uneasiness and anxiety in their hearts.
The president of the United States, who had already seen these images, behaved very calmly, slowly picked up the coffee cup, strangely, his hands trembled as if he was convulsed, and the coffee had not reached his mouth, and it had already flowed out nearly half.......
Gan Lin Niang, don't drink it!
The American president, who was extremely calm on his face, and in fact had not yet eased up, was annoyed in his heart, relieved his cup, slapped the table twice, and shouted: "Gentlemen, ladies, please pay attention to your image, be quiet, be quiet!"
Facts have proved that the words of the US president still have a certain "convincing force", and the out-of-control scene has gradually stabilized, and the gossiping high-level dignitaries of the United States have gradually stopped, stopped talking, and looked at the president of the United States in unison.
To be honest, the president of the United States does not like everyone to look at him when he is in a meeting, and usually when such a situation occurs, nine times out of ten it will not be accompanied by good things.
"Mr. President, I would like to ask, is the picture shown above real?" a middle-aged white man took the lead in pulling away from the topic, pointing to the screen with a trembling hand and asking in a dry tone.
Out of professional inertia, the president of the United States barely maintained a stiff smile on his face: "The answer to this question, I think it is more convincing to let our professional Director Hodgson answer it." ”
Seeing the ball kick at his feet, Terry Hodgson, who was the director of astronautics, let out a long sigh: "Mr. Raphael, although I wish it was April Fool's Day, and these images are just a farce that our space agency has carefully crafted to make everyone laugh, but ...... I'm sorry, but after repeated verification by technicians, these are indeed true, of course, it cannot be ruled out that other extraterrestrial civilizations have created illusions with unknown technology, or intercepted TESS without our knowledge, and woven these image data that confuse our eyes. ”
"If that's the case, it's better, it proves that extraterrestrial civilization is not without scruples about us, and we still need to intimidate and deceive, if it is replaced by this huge light man, Blue Star is simply a lump of mud in front of him, he can pinch it as much as he wants, and he has no resistance at all. "It was a black man who spoke, and he was bald.
Helplessly, he spread his hands, and the president of the United States said in a sighing tone: "Seven days ago, I saw a mysterious woman coming out of the 'Gate of Heaven' and burned down our two satellites at a glance, and I was still thinking about it at that time...... Even legendary gods are nothing more than that, and now that I think about it, I still have a premature definition of the term "god". ”
Compared with these freaks, the fact that the United States has been able to sit firmly in the position of world hegemon for so many years really has a certain lucky component.
"Director Hodgson, I would like to know how far away this giant man of light is from our Blue Star...... No, how far is it from the solar system?" asked the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ms. Monica.
The reason why she temporarily changed her words to the solar system was because she felt that this light man, standing outside the solar system, was enough to pose a mortal threat to the blue star.
Hodgson replied truthfully: "The exact data is still being calculated, but a rough estimate is that our solar system will not be more than twenty light-years away!"
Twenty light years...... As the name suggests, it takes twenty years to run!
And the light from the sun to the earth only takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds, and then think about the distance between the sun and the earth, so calculated, it seems to be quite far, but when you think of the volume of this huge light man, you don't know how many thousands of miles you can cross with one step...... And then think of his mysterious power.
Twenty light years is a long way for them, but not necessarily for others......
It has to be said that all human beings in the world have a common problem that is difficult to get rid of, they like to regard things that can pose a threat to themselves as imaginary enemies, and now there is such a powerful neighbor next door, and now everyone here has begun to think about how to deal with this neighbor if he comes to the solar system......
