It's too hard to wait. Because humanity is about to embark on a fork in the road into the future, success or failure...... Everyone's mood became even more anxious after sending the radio waves.

In a meeting that afternoon, a large number of elites were gathered, and everyone was discussing the next move.

"Sending a radio signal may reveal our location!"

"If it is a means of light-speed strike, our side has already been attacked when the other party fires, and there is no possibility of interception!" Minister of Security Xu Yunjin said worriedly. He is well aware of the gap between human weapons and a true interstellar civilization.

Light-speed strike, the most terrible means of attack. Because light is the highest speed known to mankind, it means that there is no way to detect and intercept, which is also the main means of attack in future space warfare.

Near-light-speed weapons that humans can also use, such as lasers, ion cannons, and so on. However, most of these weapons are dismantled from flying saucers and modified, they are all semi-finished products, and their power is not one in ten, and moreover, humans can't theoretically fire a few cannons.

"We have shown our willingness to coexist peacefully by sending radio waves, and we should also show our muscles appropriately to deter them!"

"It's like firing a warning shot into the air, and we should ...... Shoot them! ”

Xu Yunjin's voice was rough, and the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and he slapped the table with a fierce attitude: "Yes, that's it, firing a shot can prove our strength even more!" ”

However, his words were immediately opposed by a large number of people. There are many conservative experts who believe that this behavior is too impulsive, and what if the cannon is fired and the aliens are provoked?

"In the event of a real war, no one can afford to take this responsibility!"

Xu Yunjin directly raised his head and retorted: "If such an armed deterrence will lead to war, it only shows that the other party's attitude is very tough, we can't disguise it at all, and sooner or later we will go to war!" ”

"You know, it's the other side who has broken into our territory! This is not weak! Once weak, the camouflage fails! ”

In this kind of military aspect, Xu Yunjin can be regarded as an expert, which is his old profession.

Yu Yifeng just watched quietly, and there was some truth in what both sides said. His head also kept thinking, now that the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, our side has taken the initiative to jump out and show considerable goodwill, should we shoot two bullets, show off our muscles, and grasp more initiative?

Alas...... Or is it because humans are too weak, if humans are strong enough, where can they cause such trouble?

“…… I agree with Minister Xu Yunjin! ”

Standing up was a young parliamentarian named Wang Yufan, whom Yu Yifeng recognized, and a high-ranking official in the new government. Although he is young, he has a very high emotional intelligence and social skills, and handles government affairs in an orderly manner.

Wang Yufan, like Dr. Ranpo, is a young man that Yu Yifeng admires very much.

"It will take eight days for our radio signal to arrive, and another seven or eight days for us to observe it after the other side has reacted. One come and go, that's sixteen days! ”

"During this time, why can't you wait? It is necessary for us to take certain countermeasures! Yes, I think Minister Xu Yunjin is right, we need to fire a shot for deterrence! ”

Immediately, another middle-aged man jumped out and shouted: "It's nonsense! Countermeasures are cannon shots? ”

The whole conference room was in chaos, and the hawks and doves quarreled with each other, and they quarreled with each other.

“…… We need to flex our muscles and let them know that our weapons are not decorations! Another radical MP screamed, seemingly forgetting that human weapons are really just for use......

"We don't have to really hit them, we just need to deter them!"

"Yes...... Then they will be scared that they have taken the initiative to break into our territory! ”

Gradually, more and more people began to agree with Xu Yunjin and Wang Yufan's views...... The thought of firing at an alien civilization made this group of people feel a burst of excitement and ...... Crazy!

This excitement is accompanied by a hint of fear. The unknown future is always the most terrible thing, and every choice now brings a lot of uncertainty to the future. But many people feel that firing a cannon may be more effective than not firing it!

Because human beings have no choice, radio signals have already been transmitted, and there must be a way to the end, that is, deterrence!

"We can't afford temptation, and any temptation on the other side will lead to human beings. Only with enough deterrence can the other party not be tempted! Wang Yufan shouted loudly.

The current radicals believe that to do drama is to do enough weight, and now the "tiger" played by human beings must not only roar, but even go up and make biting movements!

Yes...... A cat dressed as a tiger, facing the enemy who intrudes into the territory, not only roars, but also goes up and pretends to bite, so that it is more vivid and more intimidating!

Most of the people on the Noah are young people, and they are all in a state of not being afraid of the sky and the earth. Young people are always more adventurous, so there are more hawks in the conference room, who think that if you fire a shot, you must shoot a shot!

A few of the conservatives stopped talking, just frowning sadly, unable to think of a better solution.

Even Yu Yifeng believes that there is indeed some truth in the ideas of these radicals. Nowadays, people must be more "powerful", or "domineering"!

Next, people began to talk about what weapons to use, of course, the weapons that are currently possessed.

In this case, it is not realistic to use lasers, and people's main purpose is to deter, not really hit the opponent, and this cannon must be known and detected by the opponent.

There are no dust and other particles in space, and light is not diffusely reflected, making it difficult to observe with a laser unless it actually hits the other party.

In some science fiction movies, when there is an interstellar war, the sky full of lasers may not exist, unless that space is covered with dust, it is impossible to detect the lasers passing by by the naked eye.

Therefore, this cannon can neither hit the opponent, but also allow the opponent to clearly observe.

They discussed for a long time, and the best thing to do was an ion cannon! A series of charged particles close to the speed of light will produce an electric field that can be easily detected by the ion cannon.

But detection does not mean that it can be intercepted. The speed of the ion cannon is not as fast as the speed of light, but it is only slightly slower than the laser. Unless there is a computer with ultra-high computing speed and a sufficiently sensitive muzzle, it is possible to intercept the ion cannon with a laser.

Human beings do not want to go to war, this cannon just wants to deter the other party, so that the other party can feel that human beings are a species with "great fire" and "strong defense".

Yes, that's it...... Human beings have a big temper and a strong sense of defense!

Well, Yu Yifeng also thinks that this plan does make sense, although it is a bit risky, but once it succeeds, it can create an "arrogant and unreasonable" illusion for the other party.

Although when on earth, even from the moral high ground, the side that shoots first always seems to be less righteous. But now it's not the Earth, there are no such unspoken rules, there is more suspicion between different civilizations, a stronger sense of insecurity, and cannons...... No problem!
