Chapter 10: Two factions

Almost at the same time, on the far side of the Moon, near the Mendeleev crater, in the large conference room of the General Command of the Joint Development of the Moon.

Sure enough, as the commander-in-chief of Minsk expected, after a day and a night of arguing, these old men still have not reached a unified opinion, and even completely split into two factions.

The first group is called the "immediate action faction", they advocate that although the moon cannot communicate with the earth now, it should immediately send various manned spacecraft to approach or even return to the earth, observe the cube at close range or simply land, take the most primitive means to connect with the human beings on the earth, and then discuss how to deal with this situation.

The second faction is called the "ostrich faction", they advocate that now the earth has been hijacked, and the means of communication are interrupted, fortunately the moon has not been affected, at least these 200 million people can continue to live on the earth's satellite to maintain human civilization, the fire represents hope, and the earth may have other changes, based on the current situation, at least to ensure that the earth is still in the solar system There are still two years left, and it should be slowly figured out.

Neither of the two factions can convince the other, and the ostrich faction is cold-blooded, a traitor, and a disgrace to mankind; The Ostrich Faction, on the other hand, has no brains for immediate action, and this behavior may expose the Moon, or even allow the Moon to be hijacked as well, leading to the total extinction of humanity!

There is only one point that has been confirmed by both sides, and it is also the opinion of Qin Yi, a young Chinese astronomer who was brought back from the Ystad Astronomical Observatory by the commander-in-chief of Minsk, that is, this change in the earth is definitely not accidental, but was created by some unknown alien life!

Minsk smoked a cigar and watched coldly as the old men of the two factions jumped up and argued from time to time, but he had already made up his mind in his heart, that is, neither faction wanted it! The most important thing is to be alive!

You can call him selfish, you can even say that he is inhuman, but you can't deny that no one can guarantee that the slightest recklessness of human beings on the moon will not have a worse impact on the earth or even the moon itself!

If you want to talk about inner bias, he is actually more inclined to the "ostrich faction", oh no, strictly speaking, Minsk doesn't want to have anything to do with the earth at the moment, except for thinking that he is still a human being.

Three years or two years, as long as nothing happens to the moon, even if the earth is hijacked out of the solar system by the cube, it may not be the end of the world, at least we still have the moon, right?

But he will definitely not be able to say such things now, especially under the banner of human morality, his statement is likely to provoke contradictions - after all, this group of scientists is already the top scientific and technological talents on the moon, and from the moment when he has essentially lost contact with the earth, he must consider the problem of talent reserves.

"That's the end of today's second meeting, I will let Qin Yi sort out the minutes of today's meeting and send them to your email address after the meeting." Minsk raised his hands and gestured: "Actually, I'm more anxious than everyone else, but there are not many ways available to us now, there is a great risk in launching a manned vehicle, everyone should know this, I am not supporting the ostrich faction, but objectively it is the best choice to wait and see, after all, this is only the second day of the mutation, and the earth can at least be observed by us except for the cube attachment and communication shielding, nothing big has happened." ”

He is not wrong about this, at least now the astronomical observatories on the front side of the moon have begun to operate at full capacity, monitoring the dynamics of the earth 24 hours a day, and constantly sending photos and videos to the general headquarters, there is no indication that there are large-scale nuclear weapons on the earth or crustal movements, surface anomalies, then the human beings above should still be alive, but the state of survival may be somewhat ...... It's just worrying.

The old scientists finally dispersed for dinner one by one, waiting for the third meeting a little later, and soon only Qin Yi and Minsk were left in the venue.

"It seems that I still think of the 'Save the Planet' project as a little too simple, and you, the leader, are also under tremendous pressure." Minsk rubbed the temples that had swelled on both sides, and said to Qin Yi with a slight apology in his tone: "I regret this, but I will not remove you because of the words of a few old scientists!" Qin Yi, as long as I am still the commander-in-chief of the moon in Minsk for a day, you will sit in the position of this leader for a day! One day they will know what you are capable of. ”

These words made Qin Yi immediately panic: "Commander-in-chief, don't praise me anymore, if I make achievements, it will be fine, but the current situation is ......"

Minsk looked indignant, as if everyone had wronged him: "You are not responsible for this situation now!" ”

Suddenly, his voice raised: "What do you hear from those people?" Since they all agree with your premise that aliens will hijack the Earth, why would they dare to take such a big risk for me to order the launch of a manned vehicle to Earth? Isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? It's stupid! ”

But in fact, the real thought in his heart was: Ostrich faction, your voice is not loud enough, and there are not enough people! I must suppress those old men who have the power of the earth behind me, and you Qin Yi, I don't want you to be the leader of this in vain!

It's only the second day, don't worry, wait for a long time, and find that all means are useless, and the immediate action faction will automatically die down without suppression, because what science can't solve, can it be solved by ideas alone? Then you can solve it for me and show me, and use your thoughts to change that cube for me?

Thinking of this, Minsk's face softened slightly. And Qin Yi saw that his expression had recovered, so he whispered: "Commander-in-chief, then the secret order you gave me before to let the abandoned Apollo launch station try to launch an unmanned aerial vehicle should be ......?"

"Of course!" Hearing this topic, Minsk immediately walked to Qin Yi's side, looked around, and suddenly pulled his tie down with his hand, almost suffocating Qin Yi!

"I said it...... This topic is out of my secret office and will always be ...... Don't mention it again! Minsk's vicious tone and sudden movements just now almost scared Qin Yi away.
