"It's a pity that this time the script is not for the United States to save the world, I know, you had such a plan."

Xia Ming finally talked to the President of the United States, and before that, Musk told him a lot of things, although he solved a few doubts, but most of them were just supplementary details.

Some of them were speculated before he had traveled to Homo sapiens, and some were the conclusions of his previous network verification and analysis when he captured the satellite. For example, the space station accident, based on the observation records, knew that it was an active decline, so Xia Ming confirmed that it was Musk's hands and feet.

"This is not my intention, you should know, I have always advocated that the United States reassert its position and no longer pretend to be the leader of the world."

The president's posture is very low, not that he has a guilty conscience, Xia Ming has already effectively ruled the earth's orbit, and for the United States, this is a more powerful enemy than holding a nuclear bomb. At the same time, there is much more room for easing relations with Xia Ming than that of terrorists, of course, it depends on whether Xia Ming is not the same Xia Ming as before.

"But in this matter, you can't resist the national will of the United States, right? Say, the UAI program? ”

The name mentioned by Xia Ming made the president's face change, and he immediately smiled bitterly, at this point, what is the point of secrecy?

Musk's confession focused on a U.S. government plan that is as significant to every president as the nuclear weapons code.

Unlike the nuclear weapons code, the program is the collective of a special committee that includes presidents and chiefs of staff, top military officials, NASA leaders, and advisers in the field of science and technology. In general, there will be no more than 20 members.

Sixty years ago, members of the Lafield family assisted the government in the Cold War, and the "Whispers of God", that is, the three small diamonds, the intelligent silver casing that encased the diamonds, and the intelligent silver gel used as filling, these three mysterious creations of unknown origin attracted the attention of the government, classified them as top secrets, and formed this committee to make relevant decisions.

The physical structure of "Whisper of God" is no different from that of inferior diamonds, and the impact on the human body, except for the Lafield family, is difficult for others to sort out the law, and the effect is also a mysterious and difficult to measure psychological effect, so it can only be left in the hands of the Lafield family for indirect observation.

The Silver Shell and Gel were apparently man-made, with a level of technology far superior to that of humans, and the mysterious symbols found with the items led the Commission to conclude that they were the creations of an unknown civilization.

The study of the Zhiyin shell, gel, and symbols has been fruitless, only vague inferences. At that time, when the concept of artificial intelligence had just emerged, even the scientific community was full of all kinds of unreliable stream-of-consciousness delusions about artificial intelligence, and in order to confuse the public, the committee put the study of these unknown civilization creations, the secrets of the existence of unknown civilizations, and the related matters related to possible contact with unknown civilizations in the future under a program called "Unknown Artificial Intelligence" (UAI).

Unbeknownst to the namer, he was on the right track.

The committee has made a lot of plans in the UAI project, there are resistance plans for alien invasions, and there are also detection and contact plans, "Voyager 1" is saddled with a mission of the UAI project, and among the information it carries, there is one that has never been made public, that is, the symbol found on the shell of Zhiyin, which is intended to signal to unknown civilizations that they have received their things, hoping to continue to contact, and the contact object is this committee.

All plans for the UAI program are guided by the principle that "if there is contact with an unknown civilization and can benefit from it, it must be ensured that the United States is the only contact." If this goal cannot be sustained, the relationship must also be extended as long as possible. ”

It's just that for decades, there has been no progress in the study of mysterious things, and the plan is basically a decoration.

Xia Ming's birth has brought unprecedented challenges to the UAI program, and the committee has discovered that there are other unknown civilizations that they have not mastered. During that time, the looming promoter behind Yang Yuanchang was this committee, but Yang Yuanchang himself did not know about it.

When Xia Ming launched the Homo Sinensis exploration program, the committee realized that Xia Ming might have discovered clues to an unknown civilization, and that the principle in the plan was being put to the test.

But at this time, the committee felt that it was not good to take any action, after all, the whole world was paying attention to Xia Ming's every move, and they had to watch anxiously as Xia Ming flew to Zhishen Star in person.

When Xia Ming lost contact, the committee felt that the opportunity had come, and encroached on Xia Ming's industry as quickly as possible, and stole Xia Ming's technology, especially the biological quantum computer, whose analysis technology was likely to come from an unknown civilization.

On the other hand, the committee has recruited Musk as a new member and asked him to be responsible for organizing the exploration of Homo sapiens. In view of Xia Ming's failure, it is not as simple as sending one or two astronauts over, and a team must be pulled.

It's not that the committee didn't want to use the power of the whole country to promote this matter, but in this way, it will definitely trigger a reciprocal reaction from Huaxia, so on the one hand, it will hand over the actual affairs to a private person like Musk, and on the other hand, it will collude with some people in Huaxia to suppress the team left by Xia Ming, so that this team will not have the opportunity to inherit Xia Ming's career. At the same time, it also disguised the posture of competing for hegemony in the earth's orbit to divert the attention of the Chinese government.

Of course, camouflage is also fake, such as the Spike Railgun, which can destroy the Huaxia spaceship flying towards Zhishen Star when needed.

The president asked both helplessly and curiously: "It seems that you have come into contact with aliens?" Is there a space gate in Homo sapiens? ”

"Now we don't seem to be talking about Zhishenxing", Xia Ming was noncommittal.

"If you can confirm this, everything that has happened before is just a small unpleasantness. We should have more constructive discussions, such as...... It's up to you to help us host the UAI program. ”

The president has made unscrupulous proposals, but what is his personal moderation compared to the great prospect of rewriting human history? From this point of view, Xia Ming still admires him.

The president's tone was sincere: "We have the largest and greatest number of scientists and engineers in the world to choose from." We also have the most favorable research environment and the most free political space. You don't have to doubt our sincerity, and rationally speaking, it's the best option for both of us. ”

"Rationally speaking, this is indeed a good choice", Xia Ming's tone did not fluctuate: "But only rationality, what is the difference with artificial intelligence?" Human sensibility is the source of rationality, and rationality feeds back and corrects sensibility, just like Tai Chi, it is a complete cycle. ”

"In my emotional part, there is also a sense of belonging and pride in being a Chinese, which cannot be erased by a few high-ranking officials doing mischief in the name of the country. So, I refuse. ”

The president's tone became heavy: "Are you going to entrust this to your country?" ”

"No", Xia Ming's answer surprised the president: "Shouldn't this matter be faced by the entire human race?" Which country is representative of all humanity? ”

"Then ...... you," the president asked tentatively, "what is required of the United States?" ”

"You should think carefully about what the United States should do to compensate for my losses, so that I can accept the United States calmly and discuss how to face the future without any personal emotions."

Xia Ming's words were very arrogant, which made the president subconsciously snort.

"I'm not saying this as the ruler of the earth's orbit", Xia Ming's tone was a little more sarcastic: "After all, this title can't last long, I'm saying this as the manager of that gate." ”

The president is sluggish, this deterrent is powerful enough, maybe fake, but if it is true......

Xia Ming said again: "I have to be busy with another matter, and I will contact you in half an hour." ”

The conference call system allowed everyone in the war room to hear the conversation between Xia Ming and the president, who motioned for everyone to put on AR glasses, and then he wrote in the air, "What should I do?" The words are frozen in the air and never disperse.

Xia Ming was able to dial the top-secret satellite phone directly, so that the president did not dare to speak directly in the conference room.

The security assistant didn't answer directly, but instead displayed a summary of several messages in the air.

The Pentagon enabled the Pave Claw radar in Alaska......

The Spike Railgun is relocking ......

NASA's Dr. Manhattan is operating an optical astronomical telescope to intelligently search the starry sky with image recognition to find Xia Ming's spacecraft......

The next batch of anti-satellite missiles can be launched in half an hour......

"Countries are asking what happened to us, and if we continue to be perfunctory, no matter what happens in the future, we will lose the trust of the international community," wrote the secretary of state, who had just arrived.

The chief of staff still had a shocked expression on his face, she knew that the UAI plan had no secret meaning, and she probably understood Xia Ming's motive for targeting the United States first, she trembled and wrote in the air: "Since Xia Ming wants to hand over the matter to the entire human race, the only mechanism that can be borrowed is the United Nations General Assembly, or the Security Council, which is not a bad thing." Money, technology, talent, allies, we in the United States have an absolute advantage in this mechanism. ”

The security adviser, a former director of the CIA, has a professional opinion: "Continue to negotiate with him, stall for time with details, and look for opportunities to wreck the ship." If you can't find the spaceship, you can promise first, we will arrange it on the ground, and he can't always be in the sky, right? When he lands, control him! ”

"If what he says is true, then the authority to manage the gate is in his hands, and it would be foolish to continue hostilities," the secretary wrote. We should appease him first. No matter how much it costs! ”

The president wrote again: "How to compensate? ”

At this time, no one mentioned the dozens of soldiers who were blown to pieces along with the giant eye of the sea.

It seems that the opinions have been unanimous, no matter whether Xia Ming's words are true or false, and whether the negotiations are true or not, the president has to talk again, which must give Xia Ming an explanation.

In the war room, everyone was dancing and writing in the air, and one person suddenly exclaimed: "Xia Ming is broadcasting to the world!" ”

In the New York square, it seems that time has frozen, and everyone has stopped.

On the big screen on the floor, an oriental young man in a spacesuit was staring at the camera, and his mouth was earth-shattering: "Hello everyone, I'm Xia Ming, I just came back from Zhishenxing." ”

In the office building, a video page like this pops up on everyone's computer screen, every TV plays this scene, every mobile phone rings, and when it is connected, this is the picture on the screen.

"I want to tell you something very important, this event will change the future of mankind and change the understanding of the universe."

Xia Ming's expression was very indifferent, but that's it, but no one thought he was joking.

"I found a space-time portal leading to a strange star field on the planet Homo sapiens, and confirmed that it was left behind by an unknown civilization." (To be continued.) )
