"It's good that it's not in the disputed water......s," a soldier in a navy general's uniform stood at the conference table, his hands propped up on the table, his eyes lifted from under his frowning brows, and he walked through the conference room to stare at the projection on the wall in front of him. The seven or eight soldiers sitting in this conference room www.biquge.info all had solemn faces and frowned. Most people have an ashtray in front of them that is close to full.

Ningbo Dongqian Lake, the deep green water and the woods around the lake are still and picturesque, and the scenery is pleasant. A low-rise building by the lake blends in with the scenery and is not at all remarkable. If it weren't for a courtyard wall enclosing this area, and two real cannons in front of the gate, no one would have noticed that the headquarters of the East China Sea Fleet was located here.

An ordinary small building in the complex is the commander's office, and the atmosphere in the conference room on the third floor is diametrically opposed to the soft scenery of the lakeside. The soldiers at the conference table all frowned, and occasionally spoke softly and subduedly. A projector hangs from the ceiling, projecting half of the image on the still-falling projection screen, and half on the wall. The graphics are turbulent, and you can only see the sea and sky that are passing by rapidly, like the subjective picture of a flight driving game, and there are no other details.

"Zhang Wei, is there any further instruction from the central government?" Another soldier in a general's uniform sat next to the standing general and whispered to a soldier with the rank of colonel next to him.

"Report to the commissar, the last order was issued 45 minutes ago. We were instructed to set up a command group to observe at close range, gather intelligence, and try to establish contact. Zhang Wei flipped through the several sheets of A4 paper in his hand, accurately reciting the instructions from the central government, and looked at a red telephone without a dial button in front of the commander with worry. It was a classified telephone directly connected to the central command structure, and it had not rang since it had been moved from the commander's desk next door to the conference room. This conference room, which is usually a small conference room reserved for the commander, has now been in fact turned into a command group office. Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the command group did not have a clear name, and just wanted to talk to the political commissar, but felt that now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he looked down at a few pieces of paper in front of him, and wrote something in his notebook from time to time.

"How much time do you have left to get to visual distance?" The standing commander asked.

"Report to the commander, the fighter is 13 minutes away. Surface ships are 67 minutes away. Zhang Wei glanced at the laptop computer in front of him and replied immediately.

The commander looked at the sea and sky flying across the projection screen, which was the real-time image of the battle recorder transmitted by the fighter jet. A tiny protrusion can already be seen in the center of the field of view. As the plane approached, the protrusion slowly grew larger, and it could be seen that its contour line defied the natural straightness. No one spoke, staring intently at the formidable size and shape of the object, which had been completely stationary on the turbulent sea.

The commander suddenly spoke: "Order, naval aviation, send 2 helicopters, each carrying a photographic and video team and a combat group of the Marine Corps, to take off immediately and rush to the scene." ”

"Commander, the distance to the target location is beyond the cruising range of the helicopter, whether it will be carried by a destroyer, and then take off after reaching the cruising range."

"That's too slow. The distance is within a one-way voyage, and at the same time, a helicopter destroyer will be arranged to pick up immediately. When you run out of fuel, you can find the nearest land landing. I ask that clear images be sent back in a timely manner, and that a preliminary investigation be carried out in a timely manner and information returned. This is the front line! The commander pointed to the square stretch of water where further details could already be seen, a phenomenon that could not be understood by common sense not only frightened him, but also inspired him to fight.

"Reported, 028 is about to arrive over the target and will perform a circular flight for multi-angle observation. Please indicate the next step. The pilot's voice rang out in the conference room.

"028, perform a circumnavigation flight, pay attention to the recorder as far as possible at the target, you yourself should also observe closely, report in time, keep a distance of 1 km, do not get too close. Pending further instructions. "After giving instructions in accordance with the established plan, the operational command staff officer turned his attention to the commander.

The political commissar saw that the commander did not make any further movements, looked back at the squares on the screen, his face became more and more solemn, and organized everyone to discuss: "Everyone, we are facing an unprecedented thing, something that is very difficult to understand. We don't know if it's dangerous, if it's conscious, if it's purposeful, if it will react to our actions. The commissar paused slightly, looked around to see that everyone was thinking, and then said: "But I remember a saying, the worst decision is not to make a decision. So I want everyone to put their brains together and see if we can do something about it in the current situation. ”

There was a buzz in the conference room, which soon fell into silence again. Just from everyone's expressions, it can be seen that what is conveyed to each other is nothing more than information such as "I haven't seen it" and "I don't have a clue".

"Commander, commissar, I have an idea." Zhang Wei stood up, saw the commander raise his hand and pressed down on him twice, sat down slowly, and then said: "There are two main possibilities for the existence of this thing, one is that the physical laws of our world have changed, and some kind of rule that is very different from the laws of nature that we are currently understanding and familiar with is working. The second is that there is a lot of wisdom on the earth that is ahead of us. Speaking of which, the colonel looked around to see what everyone thought. It is very unthinkable to say such fanciful words in the most demanding army in peacetime, but the picture on the projection screen makes it difficult for everyone to keep up with the colonel's speech.

"If it's the former, we need to actively investigate and study, even if it costs casualties, sometimes knowing the information earlier can bring about a fundamental change in the situation, and we have a head start. If it's the latter, we should also do something to establish communication, get to know each other, show ourselves, and try to influence each other. The colonel added.

"Makes sense. But what can we do? The commissar asked seductively.

"We used fighter jets to make the first observations in order to buy time. More information and access will now be provided by the dispatch of helicopters that are more accessible for observation and access. The colonel continued: "Until the surface ships and helicopters arrive, we can only use these two fighters, and the only way we can use them is limited, except for direct contact between the weapon system and the airframe, that is, trying to land or force landing on the block. I do not recommend the use of weapons or direct landing as the first contact, but we can consider the lighting system. Is it possible to have a fighter jet shine a light at a block? ”

The people in the room were talking about it, and they all felt that the lighting should be feasible, and it might be easier to attract attention without provoking the other party. Then he discussed the way of irradiation, and finally thought that numbers should be the best way to understand, and that the use of lights to flash 1-9 these numbers can convey some characteristics of our civilization. After the discussion ended, everyone turned their attention to the commander. The commander calmly but firmly said: "Yes, not making a decision can be the worst decision. I agree with everyone that the use of lights. ”

Liu Yao decided to start the engine of the fishing boat after the fighter approached, probably subconsciously thinking that the cube would definitely pay more attention to the fighter, and the probability of his boat sneaking past was relatively high. Presumably to increase the number of observations, the formation of the two planes no longer maintains a fixed relative position as if they were welded together, at which point one plane continues to fly around the block, while the other plane reduces the turning radius and climbs up, flying past the top of the block and continuing to fly high into the sky. At the same time, the returning fishing boat is still closing the distance to the block. Now look at the block, it almost obscures the entire sky, bringing a huge sense of oppression. Liu Yao's family stood on the starboard side of the square, looking at the quiet and growing block with concern, estimating whether they had reached the nearest position. Fortunately, the cube was already at 2 o'clock on the hull, and as soon as it reached 3 o'clock on the starboard side, the distance would get farther and farther away.

Suddenly, both fighters flew diagonally upwards at a steep angle, resuming formation in flight. The two planes quickly flew to a fairly high position, appearing to be the size of a sparrow, and then, with a pronounced maneuver, aimed their noses at the squares and began to dive down.

"Is this going to do it, these melon babies?" Liu Yaohu muttered suspiciously, looked at his wife who was sorting out his luggage, and said, "Don't worry about the luggage, let's hurry up and find things like life jackets." He waved his hand to stop his wife's complaining, and then said, "I know that there will be no regular life jackets on this kind of fishing boat, let's find some alternatives." ”

The captain glanced at Liu Yao and his wife with resentment, turned around and entered the cabin, and took out a string of brand-new orange life jackets, which had obviously never been used.

After the two planes turned around at high altitude, they began flashing their lights directly ahead. The cube is almost at 3 o'clock in the hull, which is directly opposite the side.

Liu Yao, who was paying close attention to the fighter plane, breathed a sigh of relief and noticed that the flashing light signal was a number 1-9. "I'd like to introduce our math. Doesn't that have to be zero? He was muttering dissatisfiedly when he saw a rapid white mist suddenly appear, forming a hemisphere with the cube as the center of the sphere, and rapidly expanding. The fighter made a nose-raising gesture, presumably to avoid plunging headlong into the fog. The captain of the boat walked quickly to Liu Yao's family, handed over the life jacket, and tried to provide the meager help he could.

The fog approached the fishing boat in an instant, enveloping the starboard side and enveloping the entire hull in an instant. At the last moment when his vision was obscured by the fog, Liu Yao saw that the fog also hit the fighter head-on. The view was completely obscured by the fog, and even those who were close to him could not see. Liu Yao's family hugged each other tightly in the mist, enduring the huge fear in their hearts, but no one screamed.

The fog didn't hurt, but it seemed to have enough density and strength to envelop the fighter jets and fishing boats and push them out until they were more than 5 kilometers away. After the fog forms a hemisphere with a diameter of 10 kilometers, it no longer expands, and quickly becomes clear and transparent, becoming a glass shell. The fishing boats and fighter jets propelled by it also broke free from control and continued to sail at their original speed and direction after being shifted to a position of 5 kilometers. The fishing boats were moved to the interior of Xiangshan Bay; The plane flew in a direction similar to the tangent of the surface of the sphere - that is, the maneuver that the pilot was operating in the moment before being wrapped, but the pituitary body was raised by 4 kilometers.

The sea and sky outside the glass case were lively at this time. Arriving naval vessels, as well as civilian transport and fishing vessels, converged towards the hull, and helicopters and more fighter jets appeared in the distance. Some warships and fishery law enforcement vessels on the surface of the water have begun to establish a cordon around the hull to prevent other vessels from approaching.

Two helicopters from the East China Sea Fleet had already reached the top of the shell, one hovering in the air to record the camera, and the other had simply begun to try to land after successfully ropeing down a member of the crew to land on the top of the shell, and a pair of front wheels had already touched the shell. The two fighters, pushed away by the fog, continue to rotate around the shell, providing alertness and creating a clearance area around the shell. An AWACS aircraft painted by the Chinese Air Force appeared in the northwest view, apparently rushing to establish control over the scene.

Liu Yao's family didn't feel the impetus of the acceleration, but after regaining their eyesight, they saw that they had left the fishing boat and were standing on an elastic surface, with slightly undulating feet, as if it was some kind of gelatin, and the color looked like seawater. Looking around, you could see yourself standing on a huge square of water, and beyond was the familiar sea, just a very low distance - we were at the top of that square! Everyone reacted suddenly, feeling great shock and horror at the same time, and looked at each other with wide eyes.

The boat boss and his wife didn't feel pushed, and when they opened their eyes, they found that the behemoth that once occupied almost the entire field of vision had just turned into an object the size of a leather shoebox in their field of vision. Not only did his fishing boat move away from the square, but it also followed its original course for about 4 kilometers and was already very close to the port. Shocked, the two of them noticed that the family of four could no longer be seen on the boat, and exclaimed: "Where is that family!" ”

The whole Xiangshan Bay was in a bustle, and no one heard the exclamation of the boss of the fishing boat. At this moment when the ship boss exclaimed, everyone in the world, including the ship boss himself, received a message in their heads: "It's started." ”
