Chapter 267: Frank's Distress
Two days after the Commander-in-Chief of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance spoke with Hobart and Frank. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the IEA Pacific Base, the command center of the extraterrestrial civilization project team.
"Team leader! There is a major discovery! β
One of the researchers exclaimed excitedly.
βwhatοΌβ
Trunik, the leader of the extraterrestrial civilization project team, rushed over as soon as possible.
"We received a report on the work sent back by the Mirai spacecraft. Look at it. The researcher sloppily opened a video message.
"Suddenly~Suddenly~"
A figure jumped out of the display screen, it was Yuan Haochen.
"Hao Chen!" Durunik said happily.
"Hello Earth Command. I'm Yuan Chen, the commander of the Mirai spacecraft. We have just returned from the oasis of the Sand Star. This exploration has made significant discoveries. We found a large amount of water in the oasis, as well as a variety of lower plants that exist around the water source, and a large number of microorganisms in the lake water. β
"One of the most important discoveries we made was that we met an intelligent creature in the Oasis, yes, the Sand Planetarians we had guessed earlier. However, the Sand Planets do not live on the surface, they live in huge underground cities dozens of kilometers below the surface. I had just learned their language and completed the first communication between Earth's civilization and other extraterrestrial civilizations, which was a historic moment. In a moment you will see the relevant images and communication......"
"Oh my God, there really are Sand Stars!!"
Durunik's jaw dropped in shock, although Sand Star was a habitable planet, and it was a sure thing before. But whether or not there are intelligent beings is a matter of two things.
"Quick, report to Commander Frank, and send all the relevant information to the base higher-ups."
"Yes, Team Leader!"
......
Tibet, on the south side of Xisha Bangma Peak, the headquarters of the Interstellar Exploration Alliance, and the command center of the Earth Crisis Research Team.
"Found aliens living underground!?" Deputy Commander Hobart said in surprise.
"Yes, but the intelligent beings living in the Sand Star are not the creators, according to the description of the information sent back by Future, they are subcivilizations that evolved after the creator left the galaxy, and the level of civilization is very low because of limited resources."
When Frank received the relevant information, he immediately reported it to the commander-in-chief, and shared it with his colleague Hobert, who was in charge of the research work on the crisis defense system.
"This is truly an amazing find!" Hobert's pupils lit up and he continued to ask, "You mentioned that the Sand Planets live in an underground city 20 kilometers above the surface, and I have a question. β
"Please!"
"You said that the civilization level of the Sand Planetarians is very low, but how can they have the ability to build underground cities at a distance of less than 20 kilometers from the surface? You must know that the deepest underground bunkers built by major countries are only 1,500 meters deep. Hobart asked.
"You misunderstood, according to Yuan Chen's feedback, the underground city is left behind by the Creator, and he judged that the Sand Star should be a resource planet in the Creator Galaxy." Frank explained.
"I see!" Hobert was thoughtful.
"Do you have any information about the underground city?" Hobert's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Not for the time being, at present, Yuan Haochen and they can't enter the underground city. It is reported that they have made an agreement with the Sand Planetarian that they will help gather the science and technology left over from the Creator World in the Underground City, as the case is ......," Frank continued.
"This is too important for the research of our defense system project!!" Hobart said expectantly.
"Then I'll wait for the next step." Frank said.
......
Back in his office, Frank kept thinking about it with a solemn expression.
At this time, the crisis science team has not been able to conclusively determine the true destructive power of this gamma-ray burst.
If the power of this gamma-ray burst is absolutely powerful, then it is likely that the research project to build a defense system is just a waste of time and resources.
However, judging by the current strength of Earth's civilization, interstellar migration is a suffocating project.
Indeed, interstellar migration for all of humanity is not possible or necessary.
The elderly, the infirm, are not suitable for interstellar travel, and no one can say when a gamma-ray burst will descend on Earth, and perhaps it may not erupt when everyone's bodies are buried in the earth. Therefore, it may be the best choice for them to continue to stay on Earth to live for a long time, and they don't need to go through all kinds of tosses in the vast universe.
In addition, even healthy young people may have a lot of people who have resettled. Everyone has the right to make their own choices, and if they have a vow to live and die with the earth, they should be respected.
Rao is so, in addition to this part of the population, it is expected that half of the population will still need to participate in interstellar migration, but not to mention half, even if it is to carry out interstellar migration of one-tenth of the population, it is a difficult task to complete.
"Hey......"
Frank let out a long sigh, remembering the advice his old boss, Commander Watt, had given him before he left.
"Earth's civilization should be prepared for many things. Risk diversification, don't put all your eggs in one basket! β
Frank knew very well in his heart that, in fact, whether it was building a defense system or interstellar immigration, both directions would be extremely difficult!
"I hope they can bring us good news soon!" Frank thought to himself.
Immediately, Frank shook his head helplessly.
"It's ironic. Just when the earth's civilization is thriving and about to enter an explosive stage of development, it has encountered such a big challenge. Frank sighed in his heart, "9 billion humans are helpless, and they can only travel thousands of miles to other galaxies to find a glimmer of hope......
Now, Frank has a looming conundrum, and in a few days, he must hand over a seemingly feasible set of crisis responses.
It may seem like it's possible, but it's easier said than done.
Indeed, the Interstellar Exploration Alliance has successfully built an interstellar spaceship more than a decade ago. However, it is not a regular interstellar travel scheme that can be replicated on a large scale.
Under the premise that Yuan Haochen and others have not made major discoveries, the black hole system of the future cannot be replicated. And Future can only support interstellar travel for 3 people.
Don't say 300 million people, 30 million people, if you can build an interstellar spaceship that can accommodate 3 million people, or even 300,000 people, Frank will wake up happily smiling in his sleep every day.
Although Frank is sure that the world of the Creator has successfully carried out interstellar migration, and they are fully equipped with such strength, this does not mean that Yuan Haochen and they will definitely find the relevant science and technology.
This is the cruel truth of the moment, Frank is not willing to deceive the people, but he has no choice, and now he must tell a white lie very tactfully and cleverly, so that the people can see hope and regain confidence.
This is also an urgent need for governments!
However, Frank knew in his heart that this white lie had to be based on the fact that the exploration of the Alpha Centauri system would eventually achieve significant results.
Otherwise, this white lie will eventually degenerate into a real deception!
At that time, the Interstellar Exploration Alliance, as well as all the national governments, will be able to ride the tiger and bear the powerful wrath of the people who have been fooled.
Therefore, this white lie should be proportionate, and it should seem true and credible, and there is room for reversal, so as to prevent drinking water to quench thirst!
