Chapter 13: The Discovery of Mars
At two o'clock in the morning local time, the lights were bright in the White House.
President Plump stretched out his stubby right index finger and pointed at the staff standing at his desk, shaking like a carrot.
It's unpleasant for anyone to be woken up from their sleep, and since he became president, Plump has felt much older.
Plump's eyes were still a little heavy, and his tone was not good:
"Tell me, what's going on? I'm very, very, very upset right now! ”
Although he wanted to get angry, he faintly felt something when he looked at the head of NASA, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, the vice president, the chief of staff, and a large number of bigwigs in the political, military, and scientific and technological circles standing in front of him.
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden pulled out a high-resolution satellite photo from a bag of papers printed with 'Top Secret'.
Charles Bolden pointed to the bottom right corner of the photo and said:
"We have repeatedly verified that there are large man-made complexes on Mars, and no country on Earth has the relevant activities and technical capabilities."
Plump's eyes widened and he couldn't help but be a little excited when he looked at the strange-style building complex in the picture:
"Is it an alien?"
"Preliminary judgment, yes."
Plump's little hands couldn't be closed, his face was excited, and he said:
"That's very, very, very big news! Have we been in touch with them? ”
Charles Bolden pushed his glasses and said:
"We've sent them a signal, but we haven't received any answer until now."
"yes, let's keep in touch."
Pointing to the table with his index finger, Plump faced the Minister of Defense and said:
"Mattis, if, like in a Hollywood movie, we clash with them, will our military be able to handle it?"
"I have issued a combat readiness order to raise the combat readiness level of the army, but there is too little information now, and we need to continue to observe in the face of such an adversary."
Plump nodded and said, "Good." ”
The Secretary of State stepped forward, lowered his body, and asked, "President, do we need to inform our allies and porcelain, Rakshasa of this news?" ”
Plump frowned and said, "No, if we can't resist country M, it's useless for other countries!" Besides, wouldn't it be better if we could communicate with those aliens alone? ”
Hearing Commander Plum's words, all the bigwigs nodded in agreement.
Just as the bigwigs were discussing in more detail, Charles Bolden's phone suddenly rang.
"What? Are you sure? Okay, I got it. ”
Hanging up the phone, Charles Bolden looked solemn.
"Guys, we just observed that there is an alien spacecraft near Mars!"

At this time, Yang Zhengze, who had finished inspecting the Protoss base, was standing on a Protoss battleship called the 'Spear of Domination'.
This 'Spear of Juggernaut' is the main warship of the Protoss, with a total length of about 10 roads and a maximum width of about 2 kilometers. Equipped with one main cannon and hundreds of secondary guns, it has eight psionic engines that can achieve four-stage warp navigation and anti-gravity flight, and has a ship-based stargate inside, which can infinitely teleport troops from the Protoss mainland.
By merging his psionic energy with the psionic energy of the 'Juggernaut Spear', the entire battleship seems to become a part of his body, as agile as an arm.
After feeling it for a moment, sighing at the powerful scientific and technological strength of the Protoss, Yang Zhengze turned his head and faced the current Grand Speaker of the Protoss, 'Athanista', who had been respectful to him since he was at the base.
As a salted fish, Yang Zhengze was very uncomfortable with the respect of others, but he said it several times, but Athanista just said, "It is my honor to serve the great master." ”
Seeing that it didn't work, Yang Zhengze didn't bother to say it. He didn't shake M, he had to be ordered by others.
"That, Xiao Sa, you've been in the same galaxy, don't you feel aggrieved?"
"This is the limit of the creator God, and as his tribe, we are to keep God's commands."
"So you Protoss haven't made progress for a long time, right?"
"Yes, the vitality of a civilization is limited after all, and our development has slowed down a lot, stagnating for thousands of years."
"Well, what do you think of Earth?"
"This is a very special planet, there are many very different civilizations on one planet, they are developing rapidly in constant exchanges and conflicts, but a few thousand years is worth hundreds of thousands of years of our development, this speed seems to me extremely terrifying."
Yang Zhengze nodded, inexplicably a little proud, and said:
"What else?"
"But this planet also has a flaw, the existence of multiple civilizations and more than 100 countries will limit their pace of exploring the stars, if they don't gather all their resources, when exploring the outside world, it will be very difficult."
"yes, so I decided to give my home planet some stimulation."
"Please command, the Lord." Athanista bowed her head and listened.
"You Protoss go and deal with Earth. But be careful, if there is a conflict, report it to me in time. ”
"Yes."
"Also, take care of some porcelain country, that is my motherland."
"Everything is as it is."
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
When Yang Zhengze set the time for the exchange between the Protoss and the earth, he didn't expect that the entire earth would become a little agitated because of his actions.
Porcelain country, imperial capital.
In a small conference room, there were seven people at the peak of the power of the porcelain country, a group of scientists, and soldiers.
After listening to the report, No. 1 said:
"In other words, the ship is heading towards Earth at high speed, and it will arrive in about a day. We're running out of time......
Heighten the alert of the whole army! Do a good job of maintaining stability and eliminate all the seeds of chaos! We must report the correct news to the people in a timely manner, calm people's hearts, and unite manpower! ”
"Yes!"
At this moment, the same scene appears in the rakshasa, hans, footbasin, cow cow...... In the capitals of one country after another, the situation is treacherous in an instant!
As a liberal arts student in his third year of high school, Wang Qi's news time at noon every day is the only time he can get some relaxation.
Wang Qi, who was eating with a bowl, saw that the hostess of the news on TV suddenly looked serious, and the subtitles below were also marked with big red letters: In the face of alien civilizations, No. 1 made important instructions!
Just when Wang Qi was a little inexplicable, the hostess opened her mouth and said:
"An hour ago, the National Space Administration of the Republic of China observed that an alien spacecraft appeared near Mars, which is heading towards Earth at high speed and is expected to arrive in a day."
The picture changed, and a high-definition photo showed a huge, non-human-style spaceship sailing through the universe, with blue light bursting from the back of the spacecraft, forming a long blue trail.
"We have sent an inquiry message to the spacecraft, but have not yet received a response.
No. 1 issued a major directive, the army raised its vigilance, schools, enterprises and institutions across the country had a day off, and the whole country was under martial law for one day, and any violent conflict and spreading rumors would be severely punished. Please stay at home, this station will bring you the latest news as soon as possible. ”
Wang Qi and his parents looked at each other, their faces full of incredulity.
At this moment, the world's networks are exploding! All kinds of news are flying in the sky, many places are plunged into chaos, bloodshed and protests continue to occur, and global stock markets have plummeted and fallen to a standstill. It is estimated that in just two hours, the global stock market will evaporate 5 trillion US dollars!
At this time, the online forum of the porcelain country:
"Damn, it's so exciting, I thought it was a joke at first, but it turned out that there was only one channel left on CCTV in the country, and all the programs were suspended, which scared me so much that my liver trembled!"
"yes, yes, we're at the end of the world?"
"I don't know, what will happen in a day, none of us know."
"Damn, this feeling is terrible! Fortunately, we have been under martial law for a long time, and when I watched the news just now, there was already chaos abroad. ”
"yes, yes."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
In one hall, the top minds of the five hooligans are holding an emergency remote meeting to discuss how humans can cope.
Suddenly, as if he had received some news, Porcelain Country One left his seat.
Just when the countries were talking, No. 1 sat back with a solemn face.
"Guys, I just got the latest news, and the aliens responded."
Looking at the shocked bigwigs of various countries in the video, No. 1 said slowly:
"The aliens contacted us individually, but I think this special meeting should be seen by people all over the world. So I propose, an hour later, live worldwide! ”
"Rakshasa agrees!"
"Niu Niu agrees!"
"Gallic agrees!"
Plump looked at the four votes in favor, a little unhappy, and his short hand shook restlessly. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Country M...... Agree! ”
