Chapter 473: Countdown
Shortly after Sun Xiucheng explained the situation to him, before the NASA discovered the aliens, President Thomas had solemnly submitted Russell's pretending report to Congress and other major departments.
At first, people thought that President Thomas was paranoid about being killed because of the decline in his approval rating and the fear that he would not be able to keep the presidency, so he made a big fuss and took this joke of alien invasion of the earth as a serious matter for the government.
It wasn't until the Space Administration discovered traces of aliens that everyone took the report seriously, and everyone knew the contents of the report very well, but almost everyone just regarded it as a coincidence.
Sun Xiucheng didn't know which cities the alien spacecraft had descended to, so Sun Xiucheng's intelligence to President Thomas did not have too specific information.
This report of unknown origin and credibility only left an impression on people that the people of the government were not stupid enough to use this kind of report that did not know whether it was true or false to decide their position on aliens.
Immediately after the alien flying saucer descended over the city, President Thomas issued an emergency order, and he directly authorized local governments to organize the evacuation of the crowd without the consent of Congress.
At the critical moment when the aliens descended on Earth, politicians did not have the energy to accuse President Thomas of abuse of power, and politicians acquiesced in President Thomas's actions, but it did not mean that they agreed with President Thomas's ideas.
After the alien flying saucers descended on the skies of various cities. No other action was made, which made most people seriously suspicious of the report.
Except for a few people with dark minds. After a few hours of peace, most people began to regain their composure, believing that aliens would not use means of destruction, and the idea of brutally exploiting the Earth began to take over the minds of the mainstream group.
Now, without warning, aliens are expected to respond kindly to humanity. Aliens have suddenly launched an attack on humanity.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Aliens who have not moved for hours have given humanity the illusion that they are pacifists.
Almost all of them have high hopes for aliens because they have never done anything bad. Unexpectedly, when everyone thought that aliens would get along with humans in a friendly way, aliens cruelly shattered human dreams.
President Thomas, who has always thought differently from everyone and has always insisted that aliens are not good, finally proved his correctness with time, and at this moment, his prestige is stronger than ever.
After listening to President Thomas's words, everyone bowed their heads. The facts are already in front of us, and even a careerist with ulterior motives like the Minister of Defense cannot be at this time. to provoke the correctness of President Thomas.
Seeing that no one jumped out to snatch the right to speak with him at this time, President Thomas couldn't help but nod lightly, and after thinking for a while, President Thomas continued:
"The attitude of the aliens has been made clear, they are definitely not here to talk to us about business. We must prepare for the worst possible war. Right now. The evacuation of the crowd should be almost over, and in order to prevent the aliens from attacking at any time, the follow-up material transportation and other work must be accelerated. Now, immediately order all military forces to concentrate on the military base closest to the flying saucer, maintain high alert, and be on standby at all times. In addition, we will tell other countries what we have learned that at a time when humanity is facing a crisis of extinction, we must unite all forces that can be united and fight together for our right to human existence! ”
Aliens are not friendly, everyone knows this, and although there is no guarantee that war will break out at this time, humanity must be well prepared for the worst.
Thanks to President Thomas's early order, the evacuation of the crowd is now nearing completion, but the supplies that need to be transported have not yet been fully delivered to ensure the survival of those who have left the city.
In order to prevent transportation from taking too long and putting subsequent personnel at risk, President Thomas wants the Department of Defense to urge those below to do so, and the Department of Defense is more effective than the President in issuing these emergency orders at this critical juncture.
Perhaps in normal times, President Thomas would turn a blind eye to the dangers of other countries, but when humanity is in danger of extinction, President Thomas will not choose to do so.
Through President Thomas's actions, the U.S. government can determine that the aliens have bad intentions, but the governments of other countries do not necessarily pay attention to the news spread by Sun Xiucheng.
In addition, the fact that the human side is attacked by aliens does not happen everywhere, and this most real case is the most convincing.
Just as President Thomas was methodically arranging his work, someone suddenly interrupted President Thomas's words.
"Mr. President, I'm David, a civilian freelance scientist, and my ex-wife is your assistant Connie. The Earth is spherical, and the giant spacecraft in outer space emits radio waves that cannot penetrate the Earth, and without our satellites, their signals would not be transmitted to the back side of the Earth. After my calculations, I discovered the fact that aliens were using our satellites to transmit messages, and in the midst of those satellite radio waves, I found a very strange set of signals. I deciphered the signals, and I was sure that they were a countdown, and unfortunately, there were less than thirty minutes left until the final moment, and we probably didn't have time to prepare, so we had to move to a safe area right away! ”
David is not famous, and it is obviously impossible for a scientist who is not famous at all to convince these government bigwigs to believe his statements.
In order to add some convincing power to his conclusion, David first moved out of his ex-wife, as an assistant to President Thomas, Connie obviously won the trust of President Thomas, and loved the house and Wu, Connie's ex-husband David's words, President Thomas was naturally easier to believe.
In order to convince the crowd, David spoke his mind, he first determined that aliens use satellite signals to transmit information, and then, after studying satellite signals, he found out the alien signals.
After an in-depth analysis of the alien signal, David deciphered the signal and came up with a countdown to the end.
David's words were well-reasoned and clear, and the crowd was easily persuaded by him, and immediately everyone became nervous. (To be continued)
