809 The Bird of the Bow (I)
"Smack!"
A loud slap of the table resounded throughout the auditorium, shattering the silence that had enveloped the area not long ago when it had been reported that the rail elevator had been attacked by an extraterrestrial civilization.
A powerful palm slammed a few green roots, and it slapped firmly and forcefully on the table. Its owner is a middle-aged man with gray temples and a resolute look between his eyebrows. I saw him standing on the podium, his eyes shooting a sharp gaze, and he took all the federal councilors sitting in their respective positions into his sight, and also saw the complicated expressions on their faces.
"Everyone. Things must be clear to everyone! So, do you guys have any ideas? A calm and powerful voice rang out.
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, no one stood up to speak, and he didn't even mean to raise his hand. Seeing this, the middle-aged man directly focused on the man in the A-LAWS military uniform who had been sitting in the corner since the meeting-Hema Katagiri. Top Leader of A-LAWS.
"Commander Katagiri, do you have anything to say?" The middle-aged man asked.
Hema Katagiri was silent for a moment, and without looking around for allies, he stood up. He looked directly into the eyes of the middle-aged man and said slowly, "I don't have any intention of justifying our A-LAWS' dereliction of duty. This incident was our mistake. With that, Hema Katagiri sat back in his place and put on a casual appearance.
And Hema Katagiri's statement at this time made the middle-aged man unable to have a seizure. If Hema Katagiri dared to quibble even a single word about A-LAWS' mistakes, the middle-aged man would have absolute certainty that he would unite with other lawmakers to challenge him. However, this idea fell through the cracks after Hema Katagiri made a statement.
His eyelids twitched sharply a few times, and the middle-aged man gave up the idea of continuing to hold on to Hema Katagiri. After all, since the meteorite impact incident, not to mention the A-LAWS, even the local defense forces of the major forces have been mobilized to the maximum, scattered in all directions, and suppressed the riots that occurred after the disaster. Originally, I thought that after the integration of VEDA, there were 40 million A-LAWS that were enough to handle any emergency, but at this moment of invasion by extraterrestrial civilizations, it seemed very powerless.
The middle-aged man's gaze shifted downwards and landed on the small screen on the podium. At this time, a video is playing on the small screen, a silent video.
At the beginning, in the lower right of the pitch-black picture is the blue planet Earth, which shows half of its body. Soon, before the middle-aged man sighed at the beauty of the Azure Planet, a light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black void. I saw that the light went from point to surface, and in just a short blink of an eye, a beautiful dazzling purple light flower bloomed in the dark void, and in the center of the stamen, there was a vortex of colorful light.
In the next second, at the moment when the middle-aged man's eyes were attracted by the colorful whirlpool, a huge figure suddenly appeared, rushing out of the multicolored whirlpool without warning.
The silver-white prismatic body that refracted the sun's rays, and the four pillars with a certain arc were centered on the tip of the prismatic body, slowly circling around the silver-white prismatic body. Seeing this figure, the middle-aged man immediately recognized its true identity.
Silver. After the meteorite impact event, an extraterrestrial civilization defined as silver by the Earth Federation. This is the first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization in human history. However, this contact was not time-consuming. First, he drove a large number of meteorites to impact the earth twice, and then arrogantly appeared around the orbital elevator on which human beings on the earth depended on a single ship. Then, just as the screen plays next, it attacks the rail elevator in the distance.
I saw that the four pillars around the perimeter of the silver-white prismatic body were lined up in front of the silver-white battleship in a clockwise direction, from left to right, and then they fell in the direction of the track elevator in the formation of the upper one, the middle two, and the next. To the eyes of the middle-aged man, this scene seemed to be a shooting posture. And what followed quickly proved how correct the middle-aged man's idea was.
At the moment when the four pillars fell, bursts of particles with a shimmering purple light suddenly appeared from the body of the silver-white battleship, and quickly approached the pillars. In the blink of an eye, under the gathering of more and more purple shimmer particles, layers of petals from small to large, constantly moving forward with the pillar as the center, soon appeared on the screen.
The next moment, a dazzling light burst out from this brilliant cannon barrel made of flower petals. With an unstoppable momentum, it broke through the pitch-black void and shot straight towards the rail elevator in the distance. Seeing this scene, even a middle-aged man who has watched it back and forth many times can't bear to continue watching.
It's horrible!
In fact, this terrible attack did not hit the rail elevator directly, but swept past it. However, even so, the beam of light filled with terrifying energy still relied on the furious energy possessed by the periphery of the shooting axis to shatter most of the orbital elevator. Now, most of the destroyed orbital elevators are no longer able to maintain the fixed height of the geostationary satellite orbital station at the top of it. In desperation, AEU was forced to put down the geostationary satellite orbital station, which had just been put into use, and had to organize the evacuation of personnel as quickly as possible. But that's not the worst of it.
According to the engineering staff, the geostationary satellite orbital station is likely to be in danger in the next 10 days due to the loss of support from the support structure. In other words, the orbit of this stationary satellite, which has been like a kite with a broken string, is very likely to be attracted by the Earth's gravity and fall to the ground. Since the two meteorite impact events, the Earth will be hit again. This time, however, it was a man-made object of man's own making.
"Commander Katagiri! Geostationary satellite orbital station, do you have any arrangements? The middle-aged man looked at Hema Katagiri again.
Hema Katagiri didn't stand up this time, but just sat down and nodded. "We at A-LAWS have got it all figured out. In the beginning, we will try to push it to a higher orbit as a rocket propulsion, and then arrange it once its orbit is stable. But..."
Although Hema Katagiri didn't say the next words, the middle-aged man already knew what he wanted to say. "But, let's hope those extraterrestrial civilizations won't come and make trouble?" When the middle-aged man said this, he couldn't help but sneer a few times. "How is that possible? How could an extraterrestrial civilization that dropped a meteorite twice on our home planet let go of such an opportunity? ”
"Hmm." Hema Katagiri agrees with this. "It's just that this incident, I think it's just a demonstration."
"Demonstrations? Isn't the act of throwing meteorites at our mothers a demonstration? You know, the latest statistics of casualties in our federation have exceeded the 100 million word mark!! Property damage is even more incalculable. The special economic zones in Dongying and the major cities on the west coast of North America were all flattened by meteorites and tsunamis. If this is just a demonstration, I think we humans simply surrender! ”
The explosive speech made Hema Katagiri's face twitch a few times. That's right. If the meteorite impact event that brought incomparably huge losses to mankind before was just for demonstration, it would be better for humanity to surrender directly. However, even so, Hema Katagiri could no longer come up with any reason to fit the current situation. It has absolute force, but it does not destroy the human defense system in the first place. Just after losing two meteorites, less than ten silver-white warships were sent to hunt the military bases of the Earth Federation in the atmosphere. This point is very difficult to understand in the eyes of Hema Katagiri.
"Asma represents. I have something to say. Finally, someone took the initiative to stand up and broke the rivalry between the middle-aged man and Hema Katagiri.
The middle-aged man's facial expression softened slightly, and he looked at the speaker. He knew that the MP who took the initiative appeared to be a Talibya-born MP from the Caribbean. If it weren't for the fact that the country he came from was located near the rail elevator, it is estimated that the parliamentarian uniform he was wearing would not have been so easy to get his hands on.
"Congressman López. Please speak. ”
"Asma represents. On behalf of my country, I formally submit a request to withdraw from the Earth Federation! From now on, China will resume its independent military authority and begin to build up military forces belonging to China. Above! ”
"What?" Representative Asma's eyes burst into a burst of sharp light, shooting straight at Councilor López, and said coldly, "Councilor López." Do you know what you're talking about? Maybe I think you should take a good rest! ”
The vague meaning in Asma's words did not scare Congressman López. I saw him slowly shake his head and say, "On behalf of Your Excellency!" I know very well what every word I say now means and what it means. I repeat again! On behalf of my country, Talibya, I hereby put forward a request to withdraw from the Earth Federation, restore our independent military authority, and reorganize our military forces from that day! ”
"Why?" Asma held back her anger and asked again. He never expected that at this critical time, someone would jump out and become a demon! Don't they know that in the face of this extraterrestrial civilization that is so powerful that it is impossible for a single country to confront it? Could it be that these small countries want to take the opportunity to ask for benefits? Stupidity! Do you still think that this is the time of rebellion between heaven and man four years ago?
Councillor López straightened his chest and abdomen, straightened his body as much as he could, and said loudly: "There is no why! Because we don't trust A-LAWS. Because a year ago, A-LAWS committed a number of massacres in our country for no apparent reason, resulting in more than 10,000 civilian deaths and injuries in our country! ”
"Stupid! That's us A-LAWS suppressing the insurgents! ”
"Nope! It's a massacre!! They are all civilians of our country!! ”
