Chapter 34, Unmanned Ships?
In the small conference room of the Outer Space Monitoring Base of S.H.I.E.L.D., a ninth-level classified unit located on the thirty-eighth floor of the basement, Nick Fury, Mary Yasher, Phil Coulson, and Director Norton were looking at the large screen on the wall of the conference room.
A huge Madonna, moored in orbit around Mars, is silent, as if waiting for something.
"Still no response?" Nick Fury has been worried about becoming a white man these days, and since the discovery of this spaceship, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. has been busy, not only the bases in the United States, but also many overseas bases, have also started emergency plans, and Nick Fury has informed several major countries of this news through the World Security Council.
This is not to say that Fury is more generous, but this situation cannot be concealed at all, not to mention the size of the spaceship, just to mention the eyeliner planted by various countries in S.H.I.E.L.D., such a large-scale operation is impossible to hide.
So Nick Fury half-announced the news after the meeting that day.
According to the initial speculation, the spacecraft should have reached Earth two weeks ago, but what is puzzling is that the spacecraft suddenly stopped in orbit around Mars.
This is also a problem that the senior analysts of the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. do not understand, and the human probes in orbit around Mars have not discovered that the spacecraft has sent a landing ship to the surface of Mars.
It just stopped quietly, and all energy reactions stalled, which made the heads of these senior S.H.I.E.L.D. analysts even bigger.
They wouldn't believe that a spaceship capable of long-range interstellar travel would stall because it didn't have fuel ready.
Even if it's really out of fuel, what's the use of parking around the planet? And there is no mining personnel to mine fuel or anything, although S.H.I.E.L.D. still does not know what kind of energy this spaceship is operating with, but at least this kind of spaceship that still exists on the material level must still need fuel, even if it is advanced, energy or something else always needs to be replenished.
That's why it's possible to park near Mars, but the behavior of this spaceship makes these people in S.H.I.E.L.D. puzzled, you said you ran out of gas, okay, stopped near a planet, but Nima, you even turned off the lights, what's the situation? Still haven't made any moves?
Is this like what happens after a lack of supplies? No matter how you think about it, it can't be otherwise.
"Yes, the signals we sent were not answered!" Maria said helplessly, they hadn't tried for a while, sending some kind signals to the strange spaceship, but they never got a reply.
There wasn't even some simple electromagnetic response, which made them even more worried.
Especially the possibilities given by the analyst made Fury very entangled.
"Where's that information bag we sent?" Nick Fury was obviously dissatisfied with this answer, and his face was a little gloomy, although the change in his face was not very clear on his already dark face, but Coulson and Norton on the side both felt Fury's anger.
They were all a little concerned, but Maria was not afraid of Fury, and continued to reply: "That information sac has just floated out of the lunar orbit, and it will take some time to reach it!!! ”
"Okay, let's discuss whether to continue to prepare according to the high-level vigilance standard, if that spaceship doesn't reach Earth in the end, we know that our budget is very tight!!" Coulson looked at Fury, whose face was becoming more and more gloomy, and hurriedly said.
He didn't want it to be a conference of teaching, as for Mary? Come on, a little girl who has just graduated from the academy, what can you expect him to know?
Anyway, Coulson felt that if the dialogue between the two continued, it was estimated that nothing useful would be discussed in this meeting.
"Yes, yes, now all our bases, including overseas bases, are on high alert, not to mention anything else, just our agents can't stand this long-term oppressive environment, even our scientific research agency, the atmosphere is a bit heavy, let alone those combat units." Norton also hurriedly continued, as an old fritter in his forties who had been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for nearly twenty years, he also knew very well that if Maria was not shut up now, then he would definitely not be able to run away with a scolding later.
"Hmmm! What do you think? Fury took a rough breath, and said secretly in his heart, that damn spaceship, if it wants to come, what's the matter, do we continue to guard against it, or give up our defense, it's a big problem for the fucking sister.
The analyst said that the ship was most likely coming to invade Earth.
At the very least, there is a considerable possibility that it is coming to invade the earth, and of course, the reasons for the invasion are also answered by those analysts.
Some say that it is because of water resources, after all, in the solar system, except for the earth, there is not much liquid water.
Others say that because of the human race, it is likely that the higher races need slaves, and of course, they may also need food.
But the analyst who said this was directly sprayed half to death by several other analysts, what level of civilization do you still need slaves? Isn't that a fuss? According to human theory, it is an indisputable fact that the higher the level of civilization, the less labor is needed.
So the need for slaves was abandoned.
Another analyst said that it is likely that the aliens carried by this spacecraft are wandering civilizations, and they may have come to Earth to do some civilization exchanges.
Civilization is not only represented by the level of science and technology, but also a large collection of art, history, religion and so on can be called civilization.
It cannot be ruled out that aliens came to the earth just to find their ancestors~~ Of course, the analyst didn't dare to say this, because he knew that if he said so, it was estimated that the result would be similar to the previous one.
So, at this time, the high-level of S.H.I.E.L.D., including some high-level leaders of the big countries, have been arguing about whether to continue to be on alert and highly defensive, or to lower the vigilance standard and appropriately slow down the matter about this spaceship.
In fact, the main work is still in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D., after all, they belong to a special incident response agency, and they are also specialized in dealing with such sudden and unforeseen events.
As soon as Fury returned to this monitoring base today, he brought Maria and them here to solve this problem, but when he saw the spacecraft lying near Mars, Fury felt a sense of grievance.
Maria sat down and glanced at the ship on the big screen, which she always felt was a little weird, indescribably weird.
"What's wrong?" Maria frowned, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, trying to figure out what was wrong with the ship.
Fury glanced at Maria, who also knew Maria's habits, and did not interrupt Maria's thoughts, and immediately looked at Coulson and Norton on the side.
"Sir, I think we should temporarily lower the security standards in some places, after all, there are some places that really don't need to be overly defensive." Norton said stubbornly, this thing is really hard to say, right, if there is any problem in the future, the possibility of him being on the job is quite large.
That's not right, I was directly denied my ability by the leader, and I want to be promoted and raised in the future? Let's be funny.
As for Coulson, he didn't have any psychological burden, after all, he was very young now, and it was already a very proud thing to be a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. at his age, let alone the director's follower.
It can be said that the future is promising, otherwise there will be so many scenes in the later Avengers.
There are also TV series, you know, even Black Widow or anything has no TV series to shoot.
But these are all for later, Coulson of this meeting is just a servant of the director, not a big man, but Fury does value him very much, and he will always appear with him on some important occasions.
For example, in this meeting, Coulson was the lowest of the several people, but Fury still wanted him to have a voice.
"It's true that sir, for example, our base in Guatemala, they are just a group of people who watch cultural relics and monuments, but the security protocols issued directly by our bureau are globally unified, and remote places like theirs may be able to reduce some requirements." Coulson thought for a while and said truthfully, in fact, he didn't know much about these things, after all, his level was not enough.
Fury nodded, didn't speak, and looked back at Maria.
Maria was still staring at the screen, as if fascinated, and the other three big men were staring at her, and she didn't react.
After a few moments, Maria stood up abruptly, looking down through the papers on the table.
"I got it!!!" Maria seemed to have found what she was looking for, and said excitedly.
"What do you know?" Fury frowned and said with displeasure, although he admired Maria's abilities, some of Maria's actions did make him a little unhappy.
"I know what the hell is going on with this ship, you see!!" As she spoke, Mary spread out the information.
"The ship's powerful stance shield hasn't shut down even after it stopped, but the rest of the ship's systems seem to have been silenced, and based on its path, I think it's only operating according to the set procedures, including the current situation." Maria looked at the information in her hand and said confidently.
In fact, what she said is nothing, someone has already discovered it, but everyone didn't think about it over there, after all, an alien spaceship? Alien spaceships without aliens? What the hell is doing on Earth? Delivery?
