Chapter I: Emergency Meetings
In 2225 AD, mankind entered the fourth industrial revolution for 200 years...
Earth, the dream planet of mankind, no matter day or night, you can see the orderly flight of nuclear-powered spacecraft swaying with wonderful points of light in space; You can see the dazzling and delicate space city shining in space; You can see the spaceport with the space elevator dragging in the starry sky. The man-made objects in space operate in an orderly manner under the control of highly intelligent AI, and there are many but not chaotic.
Looking at the wonderful land in the distance, the day is accompanied by blue skies and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and strange metal forests. At night, there is a bright moon and stars, echoing with rows of nano buildings. Look at the vast ocean, the turquoise water and the neat sea city live in harmony; White waves dance with angular electromagnetic levitation boats; The clear sky is set against a small electromagnetic shuttle that shimmers with blue light. Humanity, a Type 1+ civilization, implicitly manifests her state of living in peace with Mother Earth.
People can be very "lazy" and can enjoy a full and comfortable life. In the morning, the light brain sends quantum pulse signals to remind people to get up, there are smart wardrobes to provide people with suitable clothes according to the changing weather conditions and people's schedules, there are smart kitchens to prepare breakfast for people according to people's physical conditions, there are ultrasonic cleaning devices to wash human dirt, and there are more intimate intelligent robots to provide services for people. At the same time, people can also directly convey commands to the light brain through the brain, obtain information, arrange schedules, and entertain in the form of holograms......
In short, everything around everyone is intelligent, and this is simply a paradise that everyone dreams of.
Of course, except for the disappearance of the tourist spacecraft from Kuiper in recent days, which slightly added a touch of gloom to this dreamy paradise, but after the federal government's explanation, this sense of depression was quickly swept away, and human society quickly returned to that orderly environment.
Everything seems to be so good.
Office of the Minister of Human Federal Security.
An emergency meeting is ongoing.
"Minister, we have to block the news, the disappearance of an X-22-15 patrol ship carrying a new type of energy generation device will have a far greater impact than the disappearance of those tourist spacecraft. This is our most advanced deep-space patrol vessel. A member of the ministry spoke.
Wang Haiping knew the psychology of the members, so he did not hold a meeting on the quantum channel, but deliberately used holograms to construct a warm-toned meeting environment, but this did not reduce the anxiety of his subordinates.
"I need to know the specific detection situation, a heavily armed special forces into a hornet's nest, even if he is bitten and poisoned to death, he will not get a piece of honey ointment." Wang Haiping ignored the minister's statement and asked.
"But in fact, the 921502 (number) may not even come out of the cellular, and their quantum communication channel is not transmitting any information, and there is no feedback." Another member replied.
"So, their black box has also been swallowed up?" The corners of Wang Haiping's mouth raised.
"No, no. Our black box can withstand 100,000 degrees of heat and 10 GPA of ultra-high pressure, and I think it should still be there. The member scratched his scalp and said, "We can send a patrol to recover it." ”
"What does the military say? We need their cooperation. Wang Haiping changed his words and said.
Before the words fell, the participants began to commotion. On the surface, Lianan and the military are wearing the same pants, but inside they have actually been arguing, even if there is a famous ethnic righteousness and the suppression of the federal government, the relationship between the two sides is still very delicate. Lian'an, on the other hand, is mainly responsible for law and order, countering anti-human elements, and intelligence collection and analysis in various places. Its subordinates are mainly police forces, although there are a few special operations units equipped with weapons of the new industrial revolution, most of which are only distributed in the inner solar system, but they are beyond the reach of the Kuiper belt.
Even if in recent years, due to the preparation of the Neighbor Plan, Lianan has been able to sow some seeds in the Kuiper Belt, but after all, the number is small, and it can only focus on observation, and it does not have enough strength to carry out regional dragnet inspections, so it can only turn to the military for help.
"We exchanged views with them on this matter for the first time, and the key is the issue of the number of troops dispatched. The two major military regions of Kuiper and Tianhai are conducting military exercises in the area near Pluto, and in terms of troops..."
Before the words fell, someone interjected: "Minister, there is news from the Kuiper Belt 11 Institute that they have used a new gravitational wave detection system to draw a four-dimensional space map of the missing area."
Suddenly, there was another commotion among the attendees, with some making eye contact with each other. Wang Haiping nodded, immediately gave a look, and motioned to Liu Wei, who had just taken office as the deputy director of the Kuiper Security Department and was in charge of the security work of the Kuiper Belt, to continue to speak.
"According to the comprehensive judgment of the researchers and the AI, it was found that there were many voids in the space here, in other words, a large number of spatial cracks appeared here, which is the first natural spatial crack phenomenon observed by humans." Liu Wei paused and continued, "As we all know, there is a mystery of insufficient total mass in the Kuiper Belt, and astronomers generally believe that this is the Kuiper Belt objects that were formed closer to the Sun and then thrown out by Neptune one by one. But now we may be able to find a monster that devours celestial bodies. Perhaps this is also a way of explaining the Kuiper Cliff......"
"In addition, I think this matter should be reported to the old men of the Federal Academy of Sciences, the spatial crack or wormhole is still a shadow in the fog for us, and we can't see it clearly. If there are difficulties, it is necessary for capable people to come forward and propose some constructive methods, rather than directly sending troops, otherwise they may repeat the mistakes of 921502. ”
"Of course, we should also refer this matter to the Commission of the Federal Government of Mankind, and let this matter pass the ears of the chairman, so that we can add weight to the proposal to increase the UNIA tariff." Liu Wei smiled slightly and added.
The atmosphere was a little depressing, the particle lights seemed to be a little dim, the orange holographic environment seemed to be dim, and the members of the department opened their eyes wide, their mouths moved slightly, and they were falling into deep thought. Wang Haiping's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't expect that this 47-year-old young deputy director would have such courage to use Lian'an's "incompetence" and "weakness" in exchange for more tariffs and more right to speak. even made a pun, and criticized himself for being "reckless" and "stupid". Such figures are indeed rare after the end of World War III in 2051 and the formation of human communities.
"What a capable person, work hard!" Wang Haiping clapped his hands and said, "We really need to punish the past and the future in order to seek a better future for Lian'an and even all mankind, but we still need to send troops." Paper can't hold the fire, and Lianan has always been a department that can make a difference, unlike some people who are superficial...... We need someone to lead a reconnaissance team to go on patrol, and as for the military, we can negotiate a little later, but we don't need to be nervous. ”
"Minister, as the newly appointed deputy director of the Kuiper Sheriff's Department, it is my duty to search for the missing vessel and should do my best to find the whereabouts of the missing persons, and I am willing to go to the Kuiper Belt as soon as possible for an on-the-spot investigation." Liu Wei put his right hand and suddenly said solemnly.
Wang Haiping nodded and said, "Director Liu, please Ying, you are indeed responsible, and the number of troops and ships you need can be proposed at the meeting......"
PS: New writers, new books, although I have a lot of shortcomings, but I will continue to work hard to write and ensure continuous updates. Ask for collection......
