It is impossible to judge the authenticity of the information, let alone who the information comes from, and it is not clear what the purpose of the other party is. If it is someone who plays a prank, this feasibility is very small, with the ability of the central brain, ordinary earth cannot send such a message at all, not to mention the current negotiation between the earth civilization and the Gaia civilization, the imminent matter of war is still blocked from the outside world, and the real situation is only a small range.

More importantly, judging from Tian Lao, Lin Dong, and Wan Changchun, including Professor Michael and others, who are now conducting technical investigations, such information means are extremely clever and absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do. So this assumption was ruled out from the start.

So is this information coming from space? Reminders from other cosmic civilizations? This assumption does not seem to exist, there is only one civilization that the earth civilization is actually in contact with at present, that is, the Gaia civilization (the Blue Star civilization is not counted for the time being), and the Gaia civilization as an opponent, or as the enemy of the initiator, it is impossible for the Gaia civilization to do this.

Is the information coming from the Pluto base system? Theoretically, this is a possibility. With the powerful power of the Pluto base system, it is completely possible to bypass the central brain and transmit information to the Earth federal government, and it can also be impossible to find the source. But the question is, why does the Pluto base system do this? It doesn't make sense! In the past, the Earth Federation Government had directly inquired about the base system through the Pluto base, and if the Pluto base system needed to remind the Earth civilization, it would be possible to answer directly, without going around such a big circle, or even making it extremely mysterious.

This question remains unanswered, and it is impossible to confirm who sent the message. But in any case, this matter must not be indifferent, if the content of the information is true, it is equivalent to confirming the previous speculation of Tian Lao and others. Once the Earth Federation finally makes a strategic deployment of attacking instead of defending, and even uses dark matter weapons in war, it will bring unimaginable disasters to Earth civilization.

The situation was urgent, and after discussion, Tian Lao and others immediately reported to the federal government and Mr. President, and two hours later, they rushed to the federal government headquarters building. The situation was reported directly to Mr. President in the previous conference room, including the dignitaries who had been urgently summoned to the meeting, and when they saw the content of this message, everyone had a look of shock, shock, surprise, and suspicion on their faces.

After a brief silence in the conference room, there was a sudden uproar, and there was a heated discussion about the sudden message. Some people have suggested that the source of this information is likely to be another trap, and its real purpose is to influence the judgment of the earth civilization, that is, when the war between the earth civilization and the Gaia civilization breaks out, the earth civilization will trap its own hands and feet, so that the earth civilization will lose the only strength to compete with the Gaia civilization.

Those who put forward this idea believe that the source of the information is most likely the smoke emitted by the Gaian civilization. Because the reason is very simple, in the space city of Pluto, the negotiators of the Gaia civilization have stayed there for many days, and with the technological ability of the Gaia civilization, they can use this method to leave a hidden message before leaving, and at this time, it is theoretically feasible to send it regularly.

"I don't think there's any need to dwell on this issue, the appearance of information is another means of Gaia civilization entirely, and the most important thing for us now is to conduct a careful self-examination of the entire central brain system to see if there are other programs similar to computer viruses. You must know that once the war breaks out, the central wisdom is paralyzed. Our chain of command will suffer irreparable losses. ”

A high-ranking official put forward his view, which was shared by many people, but also by many who opposed it.

"Sir, the point you put forward is only theoretical, and of course I do not deny the possibility of this theory. But please be careful, what if the content of this warning message is true? According to your judgment, we will make the wrong choice for our earthly civilization. And it's a choice that pushes the entire civilization into the abyss! ”

He was also expressed by another dissenting senior official, who said that he would rather believe that he could not be trusted or not, and that his view was also representative of the opinion of many people, and that it would be very inappropriate to dismiss the content of the warning message outright in the present circumstances, if it was ignored. Once it is a big mistake, the ending is irreversible.

In addition to these two opinions, there is also a school of opinion present, that is, the moderate, or also called the centrists. This faction agreed to conduct a self-examination of the central intelligence brain to thoroughly find out whether there are hidden hidden dangers in the information sources and the central intelligence brain, and also maintain a cautious attitude towards the issue of war, that is, the use of dark matter weapons, so as not to cause an irreparable situation.

These three factions suddenly quarreled so much that no one could convince anyone, not even Mr. President. The meeting reached an impasse for the time being, and the tired Mr. President proposed a temporary adjournment and resumed half an hour later.

"Mr. Tian, Mr. President, please come over." A few minutes after Mr. President left, a staff member walked up to Mr. Tian and said in a voice that he could only hear.

Tian Lao nodded slightly, got up and left the conference room temporarily, walked through the outside passage to a lounge, pushed the door open, and Mr. President was waiting for him inside.

"Tian Lao......."

"Chief......."

"Sit down!" Mr. President pressed his hand at Tian Lao, and when Tian Lao sat down, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "What do you think of the current situation?" It's okay, be bold and say, you know, we're under a lot of pressure right now. ”

Tian Lao nodded in understanding, thought for a while, and said, "Let me first talk about the procedures for sending information and the security of the Central Intelligence Brain." ”

Mr. President listened attentively to Tian Lao's narration, Tian Lao said: "According to the current situation, our Central Intelligence Brain is still safe, Professor Michael has made a preliminary judgment, this information sending program will not cause any problems to the Central Intelligence Brain, and when the information is sent, the whole program has self-destructed." And according to our brain design, if this program is malicious, it would have been self-tested by the brain. ”

"Do you mean that our central brain, including other brain systems, is still reliable? But what if this conclusion is wrong? Mr. President asked with a frown.

"I think this conclusion can be drawn, not to mention that I have requested the Pluto base system to verify the central brain through permission, if there is a problem, we can make up for the loophole in advance and solve this problem." Tian Lao replied calmly.

Mr. President felt a little relieved at this time, the power of the Pluto base system is incomparable to the central intelligence of the earth civilization, he didn't think of this just now, but Tian Lao thought of it in advance, if even the Pluto base system can't be judged, then the technology of the other party sending the message is unimaginable, but at least one thing can be proved from this, the other party's information will not be sent with malicious intent.

"Is it possible to say that the content of the warning message is true?"

Tian Lao couldn't be 100% sure of this for a while, so he thought about it and said: "Now we have no other means to confirm the authenticity of the information, but I personally tend to warn that the information is true, so I think it's ......." ”

Before Mr. Tian finished speaking, Mr. President waved his hand: "Time waits for no one, and you know the attitude of the military, if our government does not give a clear plan, then the military side may ......." ”

"Do you want to compromise?" Tian Lao hesitated.

Mr. President sighed: "I have also considered this, but the compromise is only a stopgap measure, this is a life-and-death crisis for our civilization, and we still have to make a choice when necessary, no matter what the outcome is." ”

Tian Lao nodded silently, he understood Mr. President's distress. As a leader, or a general who is about to face a decisive battle, the biggest problem lies not in the mistakes in tactics, but in the lack of confidence in tactics or in the indecision to look ahead and hesitate in command.

If this kind of problem occurs, a war that can be won will be lost, and this Mr. President knows very well that he has always refused to compromise.

In some ways, it's okay to strike a balance, but in such a situation, it's the choice that matters. And now the attitude of the military is also very clear, the military is eager for the federal government to make a choice, and the longer it drags on, it is not a good thing for the federal government, including the entire earth civilization.

"What's going on with the Pioneer spacecraft? Can you reach them as soon as possible? Mr. President asked suddenly.

Tian Lao shook his head and said, "Not long ago, we sent out the matter of the Gaia civilization contact and negotiation through a message, but no one can know when the Vanguard will receive this information, let alone contact them. ”

Mr. President's brows were furrowed, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that in order to verify whether this warning message was correct, their greatest hope at present was to contact the Pioneer spaceship, because Su Yichen's mission was to go to the Blue Star Civilization, and according to the travel time, the current Pioneer spacecraft should have been in contact with the Blue Star Civilization, if they could get the verification of the warning information from the Blue Star Civilization, then all the problems would be solved.

For a while, the lounge calmed down, and the time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, someone came to remind Mr. President that the half-hour recess had arrived, and Mr. President got up and said to Tian Lao: "We can only look at one step at a time, and hope to get through this crisis." ”

After speaking, Tian Lao watched Mr. President's tired body walk towards the door, at this moment his heart was also powerless, subconsciously looked up, although he only saw the ceiling, but what he looked at in his heart was the vast and deep universe. (To be continued......)
