The appearance of the Ark caused a global shock, and the residents of the dungeon also saw this magnificent scene through the dome that could show the sky.

"What's that?"

"A stellar starship for the human fleet?"

"No way, a stellar-class starship isn't even a tenth the size of here!"

"Is it the Trimaran Fleet?"

"How can there be such a thing?"

······

The scale of the Ark is completely beyond the imagination of human civilization at this stage, and the thick armor that exudes chill from the inside out makes the stellar starships of the three fleets look like plastic toys, and the caliber of the eight capital ship guns is extremely amazing, and it feels like it can fit an entire aircraft carrier.

The sudden appearance of such a huge spacecraft in Earth's orbit and even into the atmosphere gave confidence in the defense line of Jupiter's orbit that shocked the fleet that left Earth undefended.

They were like the French government that hid behind the Maginot Line during World War II, inexplicably discovering that the enemy had hit their doorstep.

The Combined Fleet, which was originally going to set off to intercept the Trimaran Probe, immediately stopped its expedition and urgently called back to monitor the Ark's movements.

On the ground, countless people were frightened by the majesty and momentum of the Ark, their legs weakened, they looked up, and inadvertently fell to the ground.

Guo Zhengming hurriedly got up from the sand, and was about to ask Qiao Lu for clarification, but was interrupted by the emergency contact from his superiors.

“······ Yes······ That's right, he's in front of me······ Understand ······"

After communicating with his superiors, Guo Zhengming came back to Qiao Lu and said with a strange face:

"It seems that I am not good enough to talk to you, can I change places?"

"Of course." Qiao Lu happily agreed.

So Guo Zhengming took Qiao Lu and moved to another place, which was a huge sealed building on the surface, surrounded by rare troops standing guard, revealing a solemnity and solemnity that did not correspond to this era.

Guo Zhengming's duties ended when he brought Qiao Lu here, and the next person in charge of greeting him was a man with a European face, who completed the handover in front of the gate of the building.

"We've installed a firewall to protect you from the KILLER virus. My mission is over, and now you can talk to the people inside. Guo Zhengming said to Qiao Lu.

Qiao Lu looked at the completely sealed building in front of him and asked curiously, "Can this building shield from Zhizi's surveillance?" ”

Guo Zhengming shook his head and said, "Impossible, Zhizi can enter the low dimension from the high dimension, and it can enter any closed space in our world. This is also the relationship between us and the two-dimensional plane in three dimensions, will you be stopped by a line drawn on paper? ”

"That is, everything is still going to be exposed to Tomoko's vision."

"I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do about it."

Leaving this sentence, Guo Zhengming left.

Then the man with the European face came up to him, dressed in a neat suit that did not flicker or reflect the image, like the clothes of a bygone era, which was perhaps a sign of solemnity.

"Hello, I'm Ben Jonathan, Special Commissioner for the Joint Fleet Conference, are you the spokesperson for this starship above?"

Jonathan pointed to the Ark overhead, where the massive hull still dominated most of the sky, and only half of the sunlight could shine down.

Qiao Lu nodded and said, "That's right. ”

"Allow me to express my joy at this meeting and hope that we can solve the problem through talk."

After saying that, Jonathan took Qiao Lu into this huge sealed building, which looked like a huge cube on the outside, and a vast white space inside.

Jonathan looked back, as if to verify that the door was closed, and then he walked over to the wall and activated an operator interface, and after a few simple clicks on it, all five walls, including the ceiling, disappeared into the holographic image they displayed.

At this point, Jolu found himself in a conference hall, and while everything had changed a lot, with soft light on the walls and large round tables, the designers had clearly tried to replicate the style of the old days, and the nostalgia reflected in the large round table, the rostrum and the general layout made it feel like a trip back to the UN General Assembly of the past.

The venue was still empty, with only two staff members handing out documents at the conference table, and Qiao Lu was surprised to find that paper documents were still being used, just like Jonathan's clothes, which should also be a solemn expression.

Jonathan said: "Now that remote meetings are the norm, we participate in this way without compromising the importance and seriousness of the meeting. ”

The commanders of the three fleets are still at the base of Jupiter, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to rush back immediately.

Therefore, remote meetings became the only option, and Qiao Lu had nothing to complain about it.

Moments later, the meeting was filled with people, or holographic projections, most of the participants in military uniforms, apparently officers of the three fleets.

In this era, there is no longer the concept of a great power, and in international politics, all countries are in decline.

Only the three major fleets hold the actual power of the human space armed forces, so it is naturally them who negotiate with Qiao Lu, and the name of this meeting is the Joint Conference of the Solar System Fleets.

The top leaders of the Asian fleet, the European fleet, and the North American fleet all appeared at the meeting, and they all showed a high degree of vigilance against the Ark, with the current technology of mankind, it is completely impossible to build such a huge ship, who knows how many stellar-class starships will be needed to compete with it.

It's human instinct to show fear of the unknown, so this conversation with Qiao Lu is even more important.

"Who the hell are you?" The representative of the Asian Fleet was the first to ask.

"I've already answered this question, the second human civilization - Starship Earth."

"Where are you from?"

"In the universe, the spaceship above is our home, and we are on an eternal wandering in space, but now we want to go home."

Qiao Lu made up his lies step by step, only in this way could he deceive Zhizi and make the Three-Body Civilization and the Wandering Earth fall into a contest of information asymmetry.

"What do you mean by going home?" The representative of the European fleet asked suspiciously.

"Literally, our ancestors came from the earth, so we came back to the roots, is there any problem?"

As the commander of the Asian Fleet said to Zhang Beihai, it is not that human civilization has not tried space colonization programs, but they have all failed without exception.

However, failures also leave a record, and most space colonization programs are not confirmed failures, but rather unheard.

This gives Jo Lu room to make up a story, a convincing origin of the starship Earth.
