Chapter 450: The Eve of Judgment
A hemispherical cloud shroud towers over the ocean, visible to anyone close to the beach in Los Angeles.
What a strange scene, the waves crashing against the edge of the clouds, as if they were crashing against the corners of a cliff by the sea, which meant that it was not a cloud, it was rigid!
The Canadian fleet was nearby, hurrying to the scene, surrounded by a cloud cover.
The scene in front of me is like an energy barrier in a science fiction movie, but there is no sense of science fiction at all, its image is a churning white cloud.
"Colonel Wallace, it's blocking the signal, we have absolutely no idea what's going on inside. A Navy non-commissioned officer said.
Wallace watched the cloud cover carefully and ordered the drone to get closer.
A large number of drones were sent out, and they circled the cloud cover looking for possible gaps, but there were none.
Not only is the surface of the sea completely shrouded, but also beneath the surface of the water, including a part of the seafloor silt, and the whole cloud cover is a sphere that penetrates air, seawater, silt and rocks, etc., but isolates the inside and outside.
The drone collided with it, and it was completely impossible to break through, and a small drone even knocked off one side of the engine directly because it was too fast and fell into the sea.
"It's a physical barrier that looks like a cloud......"
"Already rooted here?"
"Don't let those stupid journalists come near here!"
Wallace ordered the area to be cordoned off, as a large number of reporters could already be seen on the beach in the distance.
Now, what is there to be left to chance? This is simply not a product of the earth.
Extraterrestrial civilizations, only this one explains.
If that is the case, then they will face the greatest test humanity has ever faced: how to deal with aliens.
This may seem like a simple question, but it's actually a big problem.
Mankind has never discovered extraterrestrial life, and the rumors that have always been nothing more than people's imagination are vain.
When their launch vehicle sent the space shuttle to Mars several times, it was almost certain that there was no life on Mars.
There was water there, and it was even once rich in oxygen, but there were no signs of life.
It is precisely because there is no life to transform the planet's environment like a hard-working porter that the water on Mars is quickly lost, leaving only some of the deep glacial lakes left, and the oxygen has long since dyed the iron-rich soil red. Even if Mars once had water and oxygen, it has become this desolate scene.
The study of Mars has led to a consensus in the academic community: the birth of life is accidental.
Some people even think that perhaps the existence of human beings is a great fluke, and that the existence of the galaxy is also rare.
And today, this fluke is broken, and they are not alone.
The scene here was transmitted to Tiannuo's headquarters in real time, and the Canadian high-level discussed it repeatedly, and all the heavyweight professors participated.
The other party ignores the communication.
How can we break through the clouds? How should we face the consequences of using violence?
If it leads to unspeakable consequences, it is the entire earth civilization that is unlucky, who can bear this responsibility?
The black ball fell from the outer atmosphere at high speed, and the friction with the air did not cause any change in it, not even heat.
It is conceivable that the black ball that appeared out of thin air near the earth has technology that cannot be reached by humans.
Humans are in front of the black ball, like a primitive tribe facing a battleship.
They either drove the battleship away with stone and wooden spears, or worshipped it as a god.
Human dignity does not allow them to choose the latter, and human reason does not allow them to choose the former.
These chaebols can't come up with ideas at all, and when it comes to events that affect all mankind, they are just some chaebols, and there are many powerful countries on the planet, and even superpowers, how can they come up with a charter?
Fortunately, the new United Nations headquarters in Timor-Leste was soon invited to the meeting.
Delegations will participate in the event via video conference to urgently discuss how to deal with the black ball.
Astronomers, physicists, biologists, sociologists, and even psychologists have been invited, each of which is one of the top national treasures in each country.
β...... To sum up, we cannot use force under any circumstances, we must exercise restraint, restraint and restraint!" A physicist recounted the supertechnology that the other side may possess, emphasizing that the current human civilization has no chance of winning by force.
The appearance of a suspicious leap out of thin air, and the dark matter-level stealth technology, no matter which one, is beyond human imagination.
Everyone understands this truth, but how should we deal with foreign civilizations? We know very little about the universe, and there is no precedent for diplomacy between civilizations in the universe. Someone asked.
An astronomer from China said: "Although we don't know whether there are any rules in the universe, we can see a thing or two from the behavior of the other party, because we can be sure that the other party must be a more mature and advanced civilization than us." β
"Oh, keep talking!"
The Chinese astronomer said: "So far, we have had the first type of contact with the black ball, and the second type of contact. That is, to see and touch the things they are affected up close and like. β
"However, the third type of contact was denied, and the cloud barrier was the evidence, and that thing blocked us, which means that the other party did not want us to directly touch the black ball, or that there were humanoid advanced life forms in it, and did not want to come into direct contact with us. β
The crowd nodded, it was obvious that if they were willing to make contact with them in the third category, they would not have made such a barrier.
The astronomer continued: "The fourth type of contact between humanity and extraterrestrial civilizations with friendly messages has also been ignored. It can be said that people are neither willing to contact nor communicate. β
Everyone frowned, this is indeed the case, but this conclusion is too uncomfortable, neither contact nor communication, so what is the black ball going to do?
"I haven't finished speaking, and at the same time, the other party doesn't want to attack us, and is also restraining himself. β
Someone asked, "How do you know? Maybe the next second it will strike devastatingly." β
The astronomer said: "You should pay attention to the way the black ball landed, very roughly, without any slowdown, like a dense space-based weapon, directly hitting the surface. There is no doubt that this is a reflection of too high technology, and people don't bother to slow down at all, because this level of collision will not cause any damage to the black ball. β
"I have reason to believe that the black ball, in the form of a mere impact, can destroy any building on the surface. β
"But they don't bother to slow down, but they make orbital adjustments in the atmosphere! I have studied the path data of the black ball in detail, and if the black ball does not adjust its orbit, it will fall into the center of Los Angeles, and there will be countless deaths and injuries. β
"But what happened? It chose to crash into the sea, and the victim was only a woman on a civilian boat that was there at the time. β
The crowd immediately rechecked the data and quickly determined that the black ball had indeed avoided hitting Los Angeles at that time.
If it had hit Los Angeles at that time, I am afraid that the disaster would have radiated a district.
"He didn't bother to slow down, but he deliberately avoided our densely populated area and killed only one of us. Is this restraint?" said the astronomer.
One sociologist frowned, "If the black balls don't want to kill, why did they kill that one? They could have deviated a little more and crashed into the uninhabited sea." β
The astronomer laughed: "Yes, every human life is priceless, but in this matter, I don't want to discuss moral issues." Because we must have a great cognitive bias with the other party, maybe in the eyes of the other party, some sea creatures are equivalent to that woman? The black ball may not choose the area near the drop point with the least killing, but the area with the least number of mammals, or even the area with the least number of kills. β
"I think the aliens have done the utmost restraint!
"Momentary ignorance may be waiting for something, and for us, this indifference and calm may be the eve of the trial......"
His meaning is very simple, the behavior of the black ball is very similar to the first time he arrives in a place, first encircle himself to protect it, and then slowly sort out the information, and then decide how to deal with the situation on the earth.
Without a comprehensive understanding of the planet, they refuse to engage and express themselves in any substantive way.
I'm not going to beat you or ignore you, until I find out what you're like......
"Perhaps, people are quietly watching us. And we just bring out the best in humanity. Whether it is war or peace, the initiative is in the hands of the other side. β
The crowd looked at each other, on the eve of the trial?
