Chapter 72: Judgment

The news was playing on the big screen:

According to experts, with the participation of well-known new agricultural technology companies in the industry, this super large forest farm development plan, which is no less than the scale of western development, will be very likely to succeed. The operation mode of this western development plan is very advanced and is the first of its kind in the world, and it is rumored that a number of international investment companies and funds have already expressed concern about it! He said that he was optimistic about the prospects of the large-scale economic development plan of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China. ”

“[***]!”

Mr. President threw the remote control under the table opposite, and there was a crisp and tragic sound of the plastic shell shattering.

"When is it, Huaxia is still messing around with all this nonsense, can't they figure out what the situation is now? Our earth is life and death, aliens are coming, in the face of such a catastrophe related to the fate of the entire human race, why is Huaxia still this surname? ”

The president had his hands wide open, his face facing the sky, and he felt helpless,

"How can this save the world, is it destined to be only the responsibility of our people? Why are these countries still dragging their feet so far, until now the preparations for the Space Force are almost useless, there are endless quarrels between countries, and even the current joint command structure of the PDC, the distribution of power, has not been coordinated. ”

“[***],[***],[***]!”

The more Mr. President talked, the more angry he became,

"Isn't there a sense of urgency in anyone?"

He held his head and shouted, then kicked the air in front of him hard, looking crazy.

But on the side, important White House aides have turned a blind eye to the president's gaffes, which have recently become so numerous that everyone has become accustomed to them.

――――――――

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and now this is no longer just a famous saying in the mouths of Chinese. The edification of modern military affairs has made almost everyone in modern times understand this truth.

"We need to monitor the enemy's every move at all times!" Mr. President ordered.

Under the pressure of the coming war, all the telescopes and probes launched by humans in outer space have been mobilized by this goal. Hubble in optics, Spitzer in space infrared, as well as Keck, Kepler, James Webb, and the most elite space probes of mankind have all been mobilized, from the ground, from space, countless of the strongest lines of human sight to shoot to the Grim Reaper, which is more than a billion kilometers away from the earth.

"On the surface, the Grim Reaper doesn't show any signs of biological activity," Capello, Houston's director of the Outer Space Division, said, looking at the images of the detection footage in his hand.

Beside him stood representatives of the military and the president, a tall, thin soldier, straight everywhere, like a moving javelin, his eyes emitting a fierce light like a falcon, making everyone who looked at him feel sincerely uncomfortable.

General Carter Thomson replied to Capello.

"But you can't also detect what kind of propulsion method the other party is using!" As he said this, he had a contemptuous smile on his face, as if he didn't know that he was making a mockery of all the outer space experts in Houston who were here.

Capello felt angry in his heart, but the fire did not come out. General Thomson is telling the truth.

The orbital shift of Death in the vicinity of Saturn's rings was indeed not detected by the Outer Space Department in any way.

In fact, it's quite strange.

Although human beings have not yet been able to get out of space, there is no doubt that the understanding of the principle of matter has reached a considerable level, and the basic discipline of physics has a universal surname within the universe, so even the relative inferiority of human science can explain many things, and the way of using energy in this universe is not proficient, but it also has a general understanding.

Almost every mode of propulsion, there should be traces, changes in energy, migration of particles, shock waves, cosmic radiation...... In terms of sentence trace testing, as long as anyone or anything ever existed, then he would definitely leave clues on the scene.

These traces should be able to be detected with existing human technology, such as the Spitzer telescope that detects infrared rays in space, and even once tested the deep space of the universe 13 billion light-years away, in the rings of Saturn, which are so close to the earth, it can be said that as long as there is infrared radiation, then Spitzer should be able to detect it, just like the earth uses infrared telescopes to observe the human body at night.

However, the Grim Reaper disappointed the earthlings, and under the gaze of the earthlings, it swaggered to complete the orbital offset, but how the orbital offset was generated and what kind of propulsion method was used, the earthlings did not know at all. This is outrageous. Saturn's rings aren't that far from Earth!

This means that the technology represented by Earthlings and the Reaper is likely to be completely different from the same level.

This conclusion made the earthlings extremely depressed.

"No, the Grim Reaper is definitely not a super technology!" Capello almost snarled to Thomson.

The speed of the advancement of super technology is definitely not comparable to the currently observed Death Star, which took two years from the outer solar system to the inner solar system. This way of sailing, I have to say, is a bit similar to the earthlings, and it is not advanced at all.

In fact, if the Grim Reaper had come a hundred years later, it would have been possible for earthlings to visit the universe in the same way, in their own spaceships, and at the same speed.

Thomson looked at the excited Capello and felt a little sympathetic in his heart, he knew that Capello was likely to lose ground because of this error in judgment.

An estimation of the strength of the Grim Reaper's guest.

There are several extremes for earthlings.

One is that since the Reaper can cross the distant interstellar distance and come to the solar system, then its technology should far exceed the existing technology of the earthlings, according to the normal understanding, this means that the military power of the Death Star is also far beyond the earthlings, and the earthlings' fanfare to engage in planetary defense warfare is likely to be just wishful thinking.

A three-year-old child, with his own cognition to challenge the world is undoubtedly very dangerous, he does not know that he is waving a dead branch picked up from the earth, waving his teeth and claws at Chengren, if it really angers adults, a slap in the hand may incite him to fly a few meters away, and even take his life.

This judgment is the most intuitive judgment for most people.

In fact, this judgment has also caused an undercurrent in the upper echelons of the earth, whether to resist resolutely or to surrender strategically, under the absolute overwhelming power, resistance is likely to be exchanged for destruction, and surrender is possible to survive. After more than a month of shock and panic at the news, after the earthlings had calmed down from the flames of anger and fear that initially heard the news of the alien invasion, under the threat of force majeure represented by the Grim Reaper, the attitude of many was actually inclined towards the latter.

Of course, there is also the opposite.

Although I don't know how the Grim Reaper came to the solar system, but when it entered the solar system, it actually entered the detection range of the earthlings, and after some scientists among the earthlings called up all the detection data of the Grim Reaper from the databases of various official and civil organizations similar to Skynet, some people had another opinion.

One of the most critical measures of spacecraft technology is speed.

While none of the observations have any information about Death's technology, speed itself is the most important piece of information.

The cruise speed of the Grim Reaper itself is slow, so slow that even earthlings don't think it's a big deal. It accelerates more with the help of the ubiquitous gravitational pull in the universe, which is no different from human spacecraft.

In other words, the technology of the Reaper is probably not much higher than that of the Earth, and judging by this, to measure the military strength of the Reaper, the Earthlings are not without hope of fighting to the death.

If there is hope of victory, who is willing to surrender and be a slave, the earth is born free, and there has never been such a cheap bone.

The hardliners on the planet are, of course, in favor of such conclusions.

Of course, this statement creates another paradox, that is, since the space speed of the Reaper is so slow, its technology is so backward, how did they pass through the long interstellar voyage and reach the earth.

You must know that even reaching the closest star system to the solar system is at least 4 light-years away, and at the current speed of the Death Star, it may take thousands of years. If the Reapers, if they were really an interstellar race, how did they survive such a long interstellar journey?

In addition, the earthlings have other ideas, such as being more enthusiastic and optimistic, hoping to have friendly third-class contact with aliens, taking what they need and developing together; There are also those who are a little more evil in their hearts, hoping to make a deal with aliens to see if they can get something out of it to help the earthlings achieve a breakthrough in science and technology, so as to get out of the current development dilemma.

On Earth, there are not no people who are curious about aliens, but many, many ......

The Earth is in such a complex and chaotic mood that it is in the face of alien invasions, and sometimes, Thomson really feels that the earthlings are a very strange species.
