Chapter 257: Barbaric Civilization
"The war between mankind and alien civilizations is a misfortune for this era and for human civilization. Thankfully, our civilization has a saint. ”
-- Excerpt: The new Secretary-General of the United Nations speaks in a televised public speech after the adoption of the "United Nations Restructuring Proposal".
……
After the reorganization of the United Nations, the first resolution was quickly passed: those fugitive politicians who deceived all mankind and abandoned the world at a critical moment were all convicted of crimes against humanity and sentenced to 1,000 years in prison.
Of course, imprisonment is only possible if these human scum are captured. As a result, a small space fleet set sail for the next two days on a capture mission.
In addition, how to compensate for the damage caused to the civilization of the earth by the swan fleet is the most concerned thing for both governments and people.
Li Quan always felt that the surrender of the Swan fleet was too easy. This made him inevitably prepare several insurance measures for it, and took out some of the things he pressed at the bottom of the box.
He handed over one of them to the reorganized United Nations. Once the Swan fleet behaves abnormally, it can be used as a strategic deterrent, so that the other side does not dare to act rashly. It's like a sword of Damocles.
After the war, the only dozen or so starships left by various countries after the war were reassembled and reorganized, and were sent by the United Nations to the vicinity of the Swan fleet moored in the orbit of Mars, closely monitoring the every move of these aliens.
The seven motherships of the Swan fleet just stayed quietly outside the orbit of Mars, and at the same time took the initiative to send a negotiator to Earth.
The atmosphere before the start of the negotiations was business as usual.
Human beings are still Li Quan, and they seem to be a little worried. This representative Tu just honestly accepted the pre-negotiation arrangements of the human race, and everything was as Li Quan told when he came back.
United Nations Building, in the Office of the Secretary-General.
The new Secretary-General bowed deeply to the picture of the communication in front of him and said heartily: "Mankind will never forget your great deeds. History will record all of this today. ”
In the communication footage, Li Quan is reading the proposed compensation list submitted to him by the United Nations. He frowned slightly. The other party complimented him, but he didn't pay attention to it, but said, "Will these items on the list be too heavy?" I suggest that it is better to do it in moderation. It is true that the other party has committed unforgivable crimes against us, but I still have to say that after learning about the history of civilization of the Swan fleet, I cannot develop such feelings of hatred. There is a sentence for you: there is no right or wrong between civilizations, there is only survival. ”
Mr. Secretary-General bowed deeply again, smiled and said, "Your voice is very important to us. ”
"Okay, that's it. I will not participate in the negotiations. Let everyone in the world decide together. After Li Quan finished speaking, he cut off the communication.
So far, the Swan fleet has shown no signs of anomaly or remorse. The war really seems to be over.
As for compensation or something, Li Quan actually didn't care. Let the United Nations and the people of the world decide.
As a plane lord, he still has a lot to do. Now that it's okay here, he's going to patrol several other planes.
That doesn't mean he doesn't bother anymore.
Before leaving, he left Lynn behind, and Lynn was the most powerful insurance measure.
In the secretary-general's office, several middle-aged people walked out of the next door after the communication screen disappeared.
These are all high-ranking officials after the reorganization of the United Nations. They are the most solid opponents and crusaders of the old United Nations, and these people represent the interests of all humanity.
Several high-ranking officials looked at the ground after Li Quan's image disappeared and glanced at each other a few times. One of them asked, "What do you think?" ”
With that smile on his face, Mr. Secretary-General said: "Any word of a saint is incomparably precious to all of us humanity. This will never change. ”
"Agreed. So ......"
"But," said Mr. Secretary-General, "a saint is a saint after all. Saints are too kind, even to alien aliens who have committed unforgivable crimes. That's why we'll never be saints......"
Several people looked at each other and nodded to each other.
"Since we can't be saints, let's be wicked."
"Do you want to ...... this matter?"
"No, the saint is too kind to the aliens. We will embarrass him. ”
"Yes. For the common good of all mankind, we need to be wicked. ”
"I'm willing to give my life for this."
"Gentlemen, please encourage me!"
……
The purpose of the Swan fleet, which descended on Earth not far away 2,300 light years, was revealed on television.
These self-proclaimed slaughtering aliens come for iron, and what they need is a special free state of iron. And this free iron exists in only one place on earth - in human blood.
The survivors recalled the hellish scene not so long ago, when humans were captured like pigs, drained of blood, and mercilessly dumped. It turns out that this is the reason.
No one had thought of it before.
After this news was revealed, it was no surprise that people around the world protested wildly. People marched to block the gates of Governments and to the front of the United Nations building. People denounced with grief and indignation the inhumanity of this barbaric alien civilization.
All the beautiful fantasies before were so far away. Those aliens who were once imagined to be angels have real faces that are out-and-out devils!
With such a barbaric civilization, the resistance of the people of various countries immediately reached the extreme. In this case, even if the TV station revealed the tragic journey of the swan fleet over thousands of years, that could not quell the outrage from around the world.
……
The first round of formal negotiations took place in the conference hall of the United Nations building.
Representatives of humanity from all over the world were present.
The Swan Fleet side also sent a Tu to arrive at the scene on behalf of the Swan Fleet civilization. The slaughter was in a specially made, smoky glass environment hall and listened to the human side.
At the meeting, the human representatives immediately proposed to demand that the Swan fleet hand over the alien mothership to humanity as a price for surrendering to humanity and compensation for the indelible damage caused to humanity.
The reply of the Swan fleet made the delegates of various countries rejoice.
Representative Tu was quick to say that the Swan fleet agreed to hand over three of the motherships. Three motherships have been set off for Earth, and humans can take them at will. Ask for a day of Earth time to allow the population on the three motherships to move.
The human side readily agreed.
Three motherships, although a little less than expected, were enough to delight the delegates of the world.
A few days later.
Three Swan fleet carriers simultaneously arrived in orbit outside Earth. The spectacular size of the mothership has amazed the hearts of countless people who have seen it. As a result, even during the day, people in the entire hemisphere can see three extra "moons" in the sky.
The work on receiving three carriers went exceptionally well.
People from all over the world are celebrating with a crown. Soon after, news came that several technologies found on the mothership of the Swan had almost made the team of scientists sent by the United Nations almost crazy, these are black technologies that are five hundred years ahead of mankind! If we could absorb it, how far would humanity go?
……
The second round of negotiations took place five days later.
At the conference, which was attended by a large number of countries, human representatives proposed a "plan for the migration of swan civilization to Venus".
The plan is roughly as follows: Humans can spend resources to help the Swan fleet build a home on Venus. From then on, the two sides can coexist peacefully, develop together in the solar system, and form a new civilization circle.
However, the reply of the Swan fleet to this proposal disappointed all the delegates.
"I'm sorry, we can't accept it. The Swan fleet wants to leave the solar system. ”
The language translation of Representative Tu was provided with technical support from Heart of the Forest.
"Why?" The human representative asked.
"We're going to find the resources to perpetuate civilization. If we stay here, our civilization will not be able to survive unless you humans are willing to provide this resource. We will not hide that our civilization has actually reached its final moment, and even if there is free iron, there is no guarantee that it will continue. The long voyage changed so many things that it took away the last flame of hope for a civilization. But we won't give up. We will continue to search in the universe. Even if our civilization will eventually disappear in the vast universe......"
After the representative of the Swan fleet finished speaking, a whisper sounded in the venue. The representatives of various countries looked at each other and discussed with each other.
After a while, there seemed to be a conclusion.
"How much of this special resource is needed? This...... Iron in the free state? A human representative asked.
Representative Tu was silent for a while, and then gave an answer.
"What is needed is at least two-thirds of the human extraction on the planet."
"What!?"
The whole venue was in an uproar!
A Middle Eastern representative couldn't help but get up from his seat, waved his arms and said loudly: "What? Two-thirds of human blood? That's going to kill two-thirds of the world's people! ”
"Savage creatures!"
"Evil aliens!"
"Alien!"
In the blink of an eye, the venue seemed to have become a vegetable market, and endless shouts filled the scene.
Even, there are some extreme voices that propose that the swan fleet should be exterminated, such a brutal vampire civilization proves that this is a barbarian race that coexists. Only by exterminating them can humanity be safe. Think that this barbaric civilization is the public enemy of all civilizations in the universe!
After the noise, it is a cold field.
In the venue, the delegates stopped talking. Delegates look at each other, you look at me, I look at you. An eerie atmosphere spreads.
When the air seemed to freeze, one of the delegates suddenly stood up and shouted, "No, this will never work!" If we do, what difference are we from the scum of the old United Nations? Don't forget, we represent the good of humanity! I believe that the people of the world will support us!
This statement was unanimously endorsed by the delegates.
"Our country strongly recommends that the Swan fleet must accept the Venus immigration program. The rest of the seven giant motherships will also be handed over to humans for safekeeping. Such a savage, uncivilized, and aggressive race can only be restrained in order to ensure the safety of the solar system. Another representative stood and said.
"Agreed."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!!"
The representative of another country stood up, his eyes flashing with brilliance: "China suggests that these aliens are only allowed to move within the range of Venus, and cannot go as far as between Venus and Mars. After the handover of the mothership is completed, the development of weapons of mass destruction by aliens will also be prohibited, and they will be subject to round-the-clock supervision by the United Nations representatives. In addition to this, a policy of special treatment can be developed for scientific personnel on board the Swan fleet. For example, the establishment of the School of Earth Sciences to bring together these scientists, swan scientists need to unconditionally help human scientists digest the technology on the mothership! ”
"Agreed."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!!"
"China believes that the land and resources of Venus belong to human beings in the entire solar system. Aliens only have the right to use and exploit, not the right to own. The social recovery state of the Swan fleet must be supervised by the earth side throughout the process! ”
"Agreed."
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!!"
One after another, the representatives of one country stood up and made their own impassioned speeches. For the Swan Fleet immigration Venus program, many restrictions and patches are given.
These proposals were recorded and formulated into proposals.
The P5 and the Member States will put a final vote on the proposal for adoption.
However......
"We refuse." After being allowed to speak, Deputy Tu said categorically: "These conditions are unacceptable. Allow us to leave the solar system. ”
"No! That's impossible. ”
"That's right. Since it took the initiative to invade and was the defeated side, it should accept the sanctions of the victorious country and accept compensation. Set aside Venus for you aliens to live in, humanity is merciful enough. ”
"If the Swan Fleet is unwilling to accept the voice of all mankind, then unfortunately, we can only use 'that'."
As soon as Mr. Secretary-General of the United Nations made these remarks, all the delegates of various countries were inspired.
Yes! The sage Li Quan gave mankind a sword of Damocles. Presumably, the saint had already foreseen this moment, and the saint had already known that the hearts of those who were not of my race would be different! A saint is a saint of mankind after all! The swan fleet is only salvation if it surrenders to humans!
Representative Tu was silent.
The faces of the delegates of various countries were filled with the brilliance of victors, and if it were not for such a solemn occasion at this moment, I am afraid that they would have to celebrate.
History will remember today! Those present will go down in history!
This is a great victory for humanity!
Deputy Tu was "invited" to leave the meeting. Subsequently, the UN Secretary-General presided over the meeting and a final vote was held on the Venus Migration Program.
Unanimously passed.
The audience applauded thunderously......
……
The night is the time to sleep. On the other side of the planet, people poured into the streets and started the carnival.
In the sky, there are eight moons hanging!
This world-wide grand occasion shows that mankind has taken the most glorious step today.
……
National Astronomical Observatories.
Observers are nervously crunching over the vast amount of data, and many people are confused about the incomparably complex effects of the eight moons and the Earth's orbits.
On the ground, people from all over the world who admired the moon faintly felt that the moon seemed to have become larger.
……
Defense.
"Report, we just lost control of a mothership."
"What do other countries say?"
"The United States, Britain, the European Union, Japan and other countries have all seen the same situation one after another."
"What do those damn savage monsters want to do?"
……
USA, NASA headquarters. It's been a mess here.
"Orbital Correction: Seven Motherships Are Approaching Earth!"
"Orbit Correction: Speed 0.0019, Angle 0.23, Expected to Fall in 1 Hour and 45 Minutes!"
"Get me to the president's office!"
……
In the United Nations conference hall, it was quiet for a while.
The delegates looked dumbfounded.
"The message has been confirmed. The motherships distributed to various countries have all been taken away from control. Seven motherships, about an hour later, will fall to the ground. ”
One of the delegates stood up and exclaimed, "What do they want?" ”
The delegates looked at each other with mixed eyes.
"What will be the consequences?"
"If you fall to the ground, do you need to think about it?"
"1 hour, no time......"
"The Moon's Volume and Weight ......"
"Is it a crash?"
"Impossible! Why do they do it? How dare they do that? You know, we still have 'that' on our hands. ”
"Are they all crazy?"
"Huh, the consequences? Are you asking what happens when seven moons crash into the Earth? ”
"Countdown, 50 minutes left."
"Quick, use that!"
The voting machine is all the same color.
……
Mr. Secretary-General of the United Nations stood on the stage stunned, looking at the small button in his hand. Ever since Li Quan handed it over to him, he never thought that he would actually use it. This is an infinitely scarier thing than a nuclear weapons button......
All his strength was restraining his inexplicable trembling. The complex tastes in his mouth turned into fear, remorse, and trembling.
The face contorted.
He pressed it suddenly.
"Mom, those moons have gotten so much bigger!"
The little girl's immature and curious voice was full of curiosity, and no one around the adults cared. The people in the square stared blankly at the seven moons, which had been magnified by a full five times. Everyone knows that this is not normal.
At the moment when the UN Secretary-General pressed that button, all the slaughter on the Mothership Swan was wiped out by the superweapon left by Li Quan at the same moment. All life on the mothership, including the human scientists who failed to evacuate in time, evaporated into a gaseous state.
However, that didn't change anything.
The sword of Damocles left by Li Quan was originally intended to easily defeat the swan fleet as a deterrent. He never considered the need to deal with this form, this crash of a mothership that was both doomed and mutually destroyed.
It can't be stopped.
Can't stop it!
Can't stop it!!
The UN officials were all out of strength, and they were limp in their chairs. Like a godless puppet.
Outside, countless people raised their heads.
People stared blankly at the rapidly collapsing sky.
About 30 minutes before the impact, all movable objects on the ground were lifted into the air by gravity.
The first mushroom cloud rises rapidly in the Pacific Ocean.
This was followed by a second, larger mushroom cloud, which rose up and broke through the atmosphere. This was followed by the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh......
In the silence of space, the blue planet suddenly turned red.
