Mayor Sako listened to Tep's suggestion and established five space observation sites throughout the city. He wanted to use his relationship with Brown to get first-hand information from Vanna. But by this time, President Brown's phone was no longer available. Sacco had no choice but to pin all his hopes on these five observations.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Mayor Sacco got the news that the distance between the asteroid and Mercury was only about 160,000 kilometers. The direction is also clearer. At this time, the political leaders of all countries in the world are highly nervous, and only the common people are still confused and unaware.

The Northern Alliance was originally a military confrontation organization established by the northern countries of the Yuno continent. Because the Exotic Continent and Vanna are blocked by the Nu Sea, its main members are the northern part of the Yuno Continent and the countries of the Exotic Continent.

At the beginning of the forty-fourth century, Turui, in the southern part of the Exotic Continent, rose rapidly to become the most powerful nation on Mercury. It was at this time that the Vanner League went into decline. Turry led the Northern Alliance in a fierce arms race with Wanner.

As a direct consequence of the arms race, humanity has possessed a superweapon capable of destroying itself hundreds of times. The indirect consequences of the arms race, which allowed mankind to have advanced equipment for space exploration, also further exacerbated the economic crisis of the Vana Alliance.

Swarm is Mercury's mass entertainment and chat tool in the Internet age.

A group is a collective, and a collective is also a group. Collective deliberation is the magic weapon of the management of the Vana Alliance. As soon as the chat group appeared, he was immediately targeted by Nat, who was the leader of the Sanshan Thousand Alliances at the time.

In the year 4724 of the Ephemeris, Nat was elected leader of the League. At a regional meeting, the countries that became independent after the collapse of the Vanner Union wanted to catch the express train of Vanner's development. In order to facilitate communication and deal with regional cooperation in a timely manner, Nat made a decision on the spot to form a Southern Cooperation Group, which included all the countries present.

Since its establishment, the Southern Cooperation Group has set a precedent for the use of group deliberations to manage international affairs and has played a huge role in regional cooperation. With the urging of the Southern Cooperation Group, the countries in the southern part of the Yuno continent have successfully integrated into the economic circle of the Wanna Alliance, and the southern region has risen strongly.

Seeing the rise of the southern continent, the Northern Alliance was very panicked. Exploring the root cause of the rise of the Southern Continent turned out to be due to a cooperative discussion group, and the Northern Alliance was greatly puzzled. In order to quickly catch up with the development of the southern continent, President Turui also followed the example of Nat and formed the Northern Alliance Council.

However, the Southern Cooperation Group is a discussion group for cooperation and development. Group leaders are automatically formed based on system scores. The members of the group are mainly leaders of various countries and relevant cooperative organizations. The purpose is for the common prosperity of the South Yuno continent. The Northern Alliance, on the other hand, is a group that confronts and suppresses its rivals. The leader of the group is fixed by President Turui. The members of the group can only be presidents. The content of the deliberations is mainly military, and there is a strict confidentiality system.

The Northern Alliance, led by Turui, tracked and monitored the asteroid while nervously discussing countermeasures in the group.

As the asteroid gets closer to Mercury, the main point of contention in the Northern Alliance is whether the asteroid is a camouflaged vehicle.

Most heads of state do not believe that the vehicle can be made into an asteroid, only that it is an asteroid that happens to fly to Mercury.

So, the second question arises again. Should the coalition take the initiative?

The result of the discussion was that whether it was an asteroid or an alien vehicle, it was necessary to choose to take the initiative.

President Turui urgently summoned military experts to demonstrate the possibility of destroying the asteroid by force.

After a while, the authoritative answer reached the group. With Mercury's current military capabilities, it is completely capable of destroying an asteroid within 10 kilometers in diameter. But the question is how big the asteroid really is, and whether it will be beyond our predictions.

President Squez voiced two startling concerns.

What if the Northern Alliance is saving Mercury, and other countries outside the Alliance take advantage of the fire to rob it? What if, after the alliance consumes a lot of superbombs to defend Mercury, Mercury's other military powers dominate Mercury?

Finally, President Squees suggested. Bring in Mercury's other two great powers with super bombs, the Vanner Alliance and Sirui, to jointly establish a unified military alliance for Mercury to deal with emergencies.

While everyone was discussing how to establish a unified military alliance, Mercury's other two military powers, the Sirui and Vanner alliances, took the initiative to get in touch with President Turui. It is hoped that a unified military alliance of Mercury will be established to meet the challenges of humanity together. The Northern Alliance group cheered and gladly accepted the request of the two countries.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Mercury's major military powers held an emergency video conference. The Provisional Command of the Coalition Forces was formed. Jointly elected President Turui as commander of the coalition forces.

Next, the coalition command, proportionally distributed the number of superbombs that each member state should bear. The presidents also quickly handed over control of their missile forces to the coalition command on an ad hoc basis. It didn't take long for a collective defense plan with the participation of the countries of Mercury to emerge.

According to the scientific arguments of the military experts of the alliance. According to the number of long-, medium-range, and short-range missiles and super bombs possessed by the Mercury countries, the Mercury military alliance has built a stepped space defense system on the entire surface of Mercury.

When an asteroid enters the range of Mercury's long-range strike, the first round of strikes on the asteroid is carried out with long-range missiles. If the first attack fails, medium-range missiles will come on and strike the asteroid even harder. If both rounds of strikes do not have the desired effect, the third round will not be able to use the superbomb. Because too close can cause catastrophic damage to humanity, Mercury's only option is to fire a thousand arrows and make a final struggle.

As the asteroid got closer and closer, at 3:15 a.m., the missile forces of all countries on Mercury were ready to attack at any time, just waiting for an order from the headquarters.

In Vanna, Chief Nat and Professor Chuth stayed at the Space Observatory all night to stay up to date with the latest developments.

Professor Chus has consistently disagreed with an attack on an asteroid. He analyzed: "This asteroid has passed by other planets many times in the process of flying to Mercury, why did it choose Mercury alone? Does Mercury have such an attraction to it? I hope that the leaders will think carefully and not attack rashly. ”

Nat asked rhetorically, "Have you ever seen a planet that can fly?" ”

"No," the professor said firmly, "maybe we'll see each other soon." If Mercury can make good use of solar energy, or use the energy of the center of the earth, transform the center of the earth into an engine. It is also entirely possible for Mercury to fly autonomously. ”

"Old classmate" Nat quipped, "Are you telling a story?" ”

The director of the observatory came over and chimed in: "Actually, science starts with fantasy. I agree with the professor. There is a lot about this planet that is different. The first is its shape, which is very regular. Secondly, its trajectory seems to have a purpose, and it will fall into orbit. Now we have made a new discovery, and its surface seems to be reflective, as if it has a transparent material shell ....... ”

"What?" Hearing this, Nat looked at the director of the observation center in surprise and complained, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

Mr. Director muttered, "I just found out, too." ”

Nat quickly passed this important information to the Mercury Military Alliance. The Northern Alliance suddenly exploded like a frying pan. Leaders have expressed skepticism about this outcome.

"First of all, we cannot but admit that Wanner's space telescope is the most advanced telescope on Mercury at present. Second, when it comes to the big question of Mercury's survival, we need to put aside the Cold War mentality and trust our allies. Friends, we used to search for other space life with great enthusiasm, so, aliens are really coming, are we ready? ”

President Fae sent a tearful meme: "If we can transform an asteroid into a flying machine, its technological level must be much higher than that of Mercury, and we will not be able to compete with it." ”

President Turn, who sent a sweat-wiping meme, said, "How many troops can an asteroid hold!" If they had an army of millions armed with high-tech weapons, humanity would soon be wiped out. ”

President Fovo sent a mischievous meme and said, "Could it be that we humans are looking for advanced life forms in order to destroy them? What if they think the same as we do, just to have one more friend? ”

President Turui sent a crazy meme and said, "Since they chose Mercury, it means they like Mercury." So, who wants to share what they love with others? Of course, you're right, we can be friends without a conflict of interest. Once there is a conflict of interest between us, do you think they will be polite to us? ”

President Turui's words calmed everyone down.

President Turui continued what he had just said: "Imagine that there are often wars between us human beings. So, can a completely different higher life be able to live in peace with us? Sooner or later, war is bound to happen. Maybe they don't know about us and are defenseless. Rather than be eliminated by them in the future, it is better to take him by surprise when they have no knowledge of us. ”

"But," said President Fovor, with an embarrassing meme, "their technology is so advanced, can we afford to eliminate them?" ”

"We don't have to worry about that," said President Turui, posting a cool meme, "Everyone knows that a single bird in the air can destroy an airplane." In the same way, they have their own weaknesses. ”

In a resolute tone, President Turui said: "Their weak link may well be that transparent shell." As soon as we destroy this shell with a super bomb, all their defenses will collapse. Once the power system is in trouble or even explodes, then this big guy may completely disintegrate in space. ”

President Turui's words have greatly encouraged world leaders.

"Good!" Everyone sent applauding emojis.

In order to strengthen the confidence of the Mercury Military Alliance to defeat the alien planet, with the consent of the other members of the Northern Alliance, President Turui also sent the logic of the war to the mailboxes of the leaders of other countries of the Mercury Military Alliance.

Professor Chus looked at President Turui's logic and was unimpressed. He believes that the natural laws of life, how Mercury evolved, could also evolve on other planets. Maybe it's humans like us who are back.

The professor again suggested to the leader of Nat that Wanner withdraw from the attack on the asteroid. His reasoning was that, according to the normal reaction, whoever a person is attacked, he will launch a counterattack against. As long as Wanner does not participate in the first round of attacks on the asteroid, it is possible for Wanner to avoid the first round of counterattacks.

"The key question," the professor added, "is that if the asteroid is not able to withstand the attack of Mercury, the existing missiles of the Allies will be enough to destroy it." If the asteroid can withstand the attack of Mercury, it doesn't make sense to add ten vanna. ”

For the first time, the professor's views diverged from those of the chief of Nat.

Nat angrily said, "In the face of Mercury's common enemy, we can't just care about our own safety. Vanna vows to advance and retreat with a unified military alliance with Mercury! ”
