We all had stargazing experiences when we were kids. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Look up at the starry sky, blow the gentle breeze, and think about the romantic story about each star.

However, people who have lived in the city for a long time cannot expect to see the dreamlike starry sky in the city. Everywhere you look, there are dazzling street lamps and colorful billboards. They obscure the sky, and even on the clearest summer nights, we can see only a few stars.

However, in a place closest to the sky, we can still enjoy the most pristine starry sky. The Milky Way here can even shine the shadow of a person.

Tibet -- known as the roof of the world, the altitude of the entire Tibet region is very high, compared with the plain area, there are fewer clouds, less pollution, and the air is relatively thin, which is very suitable for astronomical observation.

Shisha Bangma Peak - 8012 meters above sea level, about 120 kilometers southeast of Mount Everest, is one of the famous peaks of the Himalayas, Tibetan "Xisha Bangma", for "severe climate, bad weather" meaning.

The peak consists of three sister peaks of similar elevation, with two peaks of 8,008 meters and 7,966 meters respectively at 200 and 400 meters northwest of the main peak.

There is a valley glacier of more than 10 kilometers on the north slope of the peak, the ice tower is lined up, the silver light is flashing, standing in the distance and looking out, the Xixia Bangma Peak under the sun is snow-capped, majestic and magnificent. On the southern slope, there is a 16-kilometre-long Fuqu glacier, which descends to a 4,550-metre shrub belt at its terminus.

Far from the developed areas of modern civilization, it is an excellent place for astronomical observation with few droughts and few clouds and many clear nights.

And the mysterious headquarters of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance (IEA) is hidden here.

In addition to the administrative leadership responsibility for the entire IEA Alliance, the headquarters of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance also has the most core department - the Earth Crisis Scientific Research Team.

The core work of the Planetary Crisis Research Team includes:

Observe the star WR104 and study its operating state;

Estimating and evaluating the impact of gamma-ray bursts generated after its demise on the Earth and the entire solar system;

Develop a feasible plan to resist or escape the gamma-ray burst crisis.

In terms of organizational structure, the Earth Crisis Scientific Research Team reports directly to the Commander-in-Chief of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance, and has two deputy commanders, who are responsible for the research work of the defense system project and the interstellar migration project.

......

In the headquarters of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance, in a small but imposing office.

A dignified-looking man in his mid-sixties was reviewing the materials in his hand.

"Commander-in-chief, the two deputy commanders of the Earth Crisis Research Team have arrived, and they are waiting for you in the meeting room." The work assistant of the commander-in-chief came in and reported.

"Wait a minute."

The commander-in-chief continued to calmly flip through the materials in his hand, while the work assistant waited quietly, and the only sound of turning pages remained in the entire office.

"I've signed off on all these materials, so I'll deal with them as soon as possible."

After three minutes, the commander-in-chief closed the materials and placed them on the table, then got up and walked out of the office.

"Okay, Commander-in-Chief." The work assistant replied.

In the reception room, two middle-aged men in their early fifties sat upright.

When they saw the commander-in-chief enter the reception room, they immediately stood up to greet them.

The one standing on the left, tall, but with a thin face and full of silver hair, but a pair of eyes that sparkled brightly, was none other than Hobert, the deputy commander in charge of the research work on the defense system project.

The one on the right has a pair of eyes as sharp as obsidian, and he is Frank, Yuan Chen's old boss.

Frank was transferred to the Star Exploration Alliance's headquarters three years ago and served as the deputy commander of the Earth Crisis Research Team, mainly responsible for the research of the Interstellar Migration Project.

It's just that today's Frank is different from Yuan Chen's impression, his forehead has wrinkles, and his temples are also mixed with a lot of silver threads.

"Sit down." The commander-in-chief gestured to the two of them.

Hobert and Frank sat on the left and right sides of the commander-in-chief, waiting for the commander-in-chief's instructions with serious expressions.

"We're going to get up to speed!"

The commander-in-chief did not talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

Hobert and Frank nodded and didn't say anything.

"I also know very well that everyone is working hard, and our scientific research work has never slackened for a moment!" The commander-in-chief continued, earnestly, "However, the crisis will not wait for us! ”

"We get it!" Hobert and Frank replied.

"Frank, did you receive any new information from the Alpha Centauri system today?" The commander-in-chief asked.

"I was about to tell you that just two hours ago, the Extraterrestrial Civilization Project at Base Pacific sent us a video." Frank replied.

"Oh, about what?" The commander-in-chief's eyes lit up and he asked.

"The video shows that the Mirai spacecraft is approaching Sand Star and is preparing for landing. It is expected that in half a day, we will be able to observe the surface environment of Sand Star up close. Frank continued, "In addition, based on the footage taken by the Mirai spacecraft so far, it can already be concluded that the planet is indeed a habitable planet. ”

"Very well, habitable planet we have already judged. I'm very concerned about the outcome of their next moves. The commander-in-chief nodded.

"I believe that they will soon find valuable science and technology!" Frank said.

"No matter what message you receive in the future, report to me 24 hours a day." The commander-in-chief nodded and commanded.

"Understood!"

"Also, you have to prepare a concrete crisis response plan within a week, and we have to announce it to the world."

"Within a week?"

"How specific do you need to be?"

"I'm ashamed that our current plans are still in the theoretical stage, and there is no reliable technical support."

The commander-in-chief looked at the two opposite sides and said solemnly: "This is a request from the governments of various countries!" ”

"The demands of governments? What is the purpose of this? Frank looked confused.

"Hope!! The world needs a hope! ”

The commander-in-chief said loudly.

"We all know that. However, whether it is active defense or interstellar immigration, with the current scientific and technological strength of the alliance and even the entire earth civilization, it is an impossible task. Hobert said.

"At the moment, governments need to maintain social stability, and you all know that a cohesive civilization on Earth is vulnerable in the face of crisis. If the social system of the earth's civilization collapses, even if we find a solution to the crisis in the future, we will not be able to do enough! After a brief pause, the commander-in-chief continued, "The situation is not as rosy as we thought. It has only been a few months since the apocalyptic crisis was exposed, and the world has already undergone earth-shaking changes. ”

"You've been paying attention to the news, there have been large-scale riots in several small countries and regions, and weak governments simply can't clean up the mess. A strong country, although it can maintain social stability with a strong hand, is definitely not a long-term solution. ”

"Yes, the deeper the people are suppressed, the stronger the eventual outburst will be. It is a terrible thing for the world to lose faith and hope in their hearts. Frank agreed.

"So, the governments decided that even if it was a white lie, we had to come up with a plan quickly!" The commander-in-chief said firmly.

"The timing is really unfortunate, if only the apocalyptic crisis had been made public a year later." Hobart said regretfully.

"Unfortunately, that's not something we can decide."

"We need to have confidence in the Alpha Centauri Action Team. Judging from the transmitted materials, they have successfully landed. I believe that the relevant scientific and technical information will be transmitted back soon! Frank said confidently.

"We just have to make it through this time! If we get the advanced technology of the Creator, we will have the confidence to make a promise to the people of the world!! ”
