Chapter 51 Meetings
Save the planet?
Mr. President suppressed his strong urge to spray his stomach on the spot, and then looked over the faces of the people present one by one, collecting expression information from each face, and finally, soon, his face became more and more heavy, he knew that it was impossible for these people to make such a big joke with him at this moment.
After all, the secretary of state is a close friend of Mr. President, and he soon began to introduce him to the specific situation, and most of these people here have just been invited here from home and office, and they are all full of inexplicability and anger, and they have just learned about the situation.
It may be an exaggeration to say that it is a matter of saving the planet, but in fact the real truth is just as urgent, and this time it is really up to these political elites to take on this heavy responsibility and seriously consider how to save the planet.
Those directors in Hollywood have helped Mi Lijian realize this conjecture countless times on the big screen, but at this moment, they would never have thought that they would really see this day!
An asteroid hits Earth?!
This conjecture that has always existed in legends, as if it has only appeared in books or movies for a long time, has really come to the world! Although this conclusion is still an outrageous possibility with a high probability to this day, it will undoubtedly overwhelm the fragile human world if it is leaked.
When it was here, Mr. President knew why the matter had not been reported to the White House in the first place, and he knew the surnames of those around him.
But even so, he glared at poor Director Kevin Powell with his menacing gaze to demonstrate his authority as president of the free world.
From this incident, he also saw that his authority has not been taken seriously enough in the eyes of these old bureaucrats, and many times Ming Cook has such shortcomings, between an old bureau chief who has not left his post for decades and a president who has only a four-to-eight-year term, there is no good balance of power, which is undoubtedly a very bad thing for a regime that is in crisis.
Under the circumstance that the President and these high-ranking and powerful figures in the Mi Lijian Federation each had their own ideas in their hearts, Director Powell stood up and pointed to the big screen, acting as the most suitable thing to do in his capacity on this occasion, he pointed to a solid celestial body on the big screen and said:
"Bleach Star! An asteroid of medium size from outside the solar system was discovered two years ago during space exploration. At that time, the star was located in the outer solar system outside Pluto, and its orbit was calculated to pass through the inner circle of the solar system, intersect with the orbit of Venus, and then escape beyond the solar system. ”
His gaze glanced over the faces of all the people present, and then his voice changed:
"However, there is a fact here that the space agency did not figure out beforehand. According to the calculation of the orbital surveillance video of the star at that time, the orbit of the star had been deflected during the orbit of the solar system......"
At this point, he paused, observed the reactions of the crowd, and then went on to explain:
"What does it mean for the spacecraft to adjust its orbit on its own in the absence of external forces, in fact, there can only be one inference - it means that the asteroid is artificially stated, it has its own propulsion, that is, it should be more accurately named a spaceship, and it is a spacecraft capable of crossing a long interstellar journey and transgalactic voyages!"
Seeing that his account finally moved those present, Powell was satisfied with the reaction of everyone.
"That is, gentlemen! We can applaud and welcome, and there is a good chance that we will encounter the legendary aliens. ”
Alien! The people present finally realized something at this moment, and their faces suddenly changed, as Powell expected, they got such news, and most people's faces at this moment showed not surprise, but shock!
The horror of the shock!
Aliens attack Earth!
This is the first moment reaction of these people at this moment.
Unlike Hollywood's artists who are full of romantic fantasies, people who choose to be politicians have a more intuitive and profound understanding of the ugliness in people's surnames and the rules of social operation in this universe.
Earthlings may indeed be a little lonely and lost when they have never been in contact with alien civilizations, and they have unrealistic fantasies and longings for the legendary alien civilizations, but once they know that they really have companions in this star field, the emotional reaction of earthlings at the first time is by no means comfort, but shock mixed with fear!
Although the earth, even until now, has not been able to fly out of the solar system in terms of space technology, and although the earth does not understand the rules of interaction between civilizations in the actual interstellar age, this does not prevent the earthlings from getting a glimpse of the history of mankind itself.
What does a spaceship that is already capable of interstellar travel mean to human civilization?
That's with advanced technology, super social organization ability, and a huge amount of unbelievable social resources...... The composition of a social civilization that is far more advanced and brilliant than the earth's civilization means that it is far more powerful than the earthlings. What will be the result of contact between a primitive indigenous civilization like the earth and such a civilization, it is equivalent to a baby who is not yet qualified for kindergarten holding food and gold in the sight of a hungry adult, and the only result can only be to be pressed to the floor and taught a hard lesson in the ass!
Just as the indigenous peoples of the Age of Discovery met the advanced white civilization from Europe, backwardness can only be beaten, which means that there is no choice!
Then in the interstellar era, the communication between civilizations and civilizations, and even between countries on the earth may be more naked, more lacking in rules, one side has the strength to overwhelm the surname, then for the other party, the only next choice may be to put down the body, clean up the mood, and prepare to enjoy the happiness of being annihilated.
Everyone digested the information in shock, and there was a long silence in the conference room, and after a while, "Aliens, what are they coming for?" I don't know who said this in the crowd. Immediately detonated the emotions brewing in everyone's hearts, and everyone asked one after another.
"No, I don't know, we just surmised this based on the evidence of surveillance, and we blocked the news for fear of disturbing society, but in reality, we don't know anything about this alien!" Powell replied.
"We don't know their purpose, their form of their surname, and the reason why we want to inform you in this way is because we have just calculated and obtained important information, and this information allows us to finally determine that its arrival is probably not good news for the earth!"
There was even worse news, the people in the house looked at each other,
"Under the watchful eye of the Hubble Telescope in outer space, we see that the Reaper has adjusted its orbit again, this time no longer through the orbit of Venus, but directly between the orbits of Earth and Mars. It is now close to Saturn's rings, as if it is accelerating by Saturn's gravity, and soon, we will meet aliens. We need to be ready for that! ”
"What, how much longer?" The people were amazed and asked,
Powell pondered, "There should be three to five months left, after this adjustment, the speed of this asteroid has slowed down again, of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they can accelerate freely." ”
The conference room fell silent again, and the unknown alien came so close to the earthlings without saying hello, which obviously expressed a not very good signal, the earth's communication methods are now so developed, and the aliens' technology, if it is indeed more advanced than the earthlings, should be able to contact the earth when it has just entered the solar system. Instead of waiting until now, and the earthlings came to a surprise attack.
The impact was so great that it was difficult for everyone to react immediately in a short period of time.
"Perhaps, we should try to communicate first?"
"Yes, yes, maybe we can still negotiate, maybe we can get some benefits out of it. We need to know what exactly they are here for. Then ......"
A few people echoed it, and the hidden fear of the unknown power affected everyone.
But soon, someone unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water on this group of people,
"Yes, yes, maybe we should also look forward to our neighbor uncle, when he came to the door, did he remember to bring us a box of delicious chocolates!"
Of course, this is a joke, even if it is an earthling, I am afraid that they do not have this mood when they go out on a long trip in the Age of Discovery. If there were colonists who brought chocolate to the children of the natives, it was for the sole purpose of abducting them as slaves.
"Gentlemen! Quiet, quiet! ”
Mr. President banged on the table vigorously, finally gaining attention in the chaos.
"My gentlemen! Before making any decisions, I hope that you have thought and judged through reason, rather than taking words of the word.
Even a primitive man tens of thousands of years ago knew that before any orderly communication, you must first master the forces that can affect the balance of the order. Detached from the protection of the forces that maintain the most basic order, then you cannot complain that the other side is going to take everything away from you!
We and the aliens are not two individual people in the civilized society of modern earth, and there is no law, military or other force between us to maintain the most basic order of communication. And even in today's modern society, we should not forget what a terrible price we people on earth paid in order to establish this civilized society!
World War I, World War II, and countless local wars on this earth...... How much did the earthlings pay in order to maintain the balance and the most basic order of this planet. And, even now, in order to maintain this fragile balance, what sacrifices we have to pay every year for it!
Gentlemen! My gentlemen! Any order of communication has a price, and no one will pay for no reason. Can we expect strange aliens to come down from the sky and give us all this, no, no, until now, we have no information about them limited to inference, not even the most basic knowledge.
What is the shape of their civilization, and what is their purpose? We don't know anything about this - so now, I don't think any of these guests who come out of nowhere without any prior communication are good guests.
We cannot rest our security on their possible good intentions, they are actually more likely to have malicious intentions, and the truth is that they have actually invaded our airspace - the Earth is ours and the solar system should belong to us! The only thing we can do now is to make all preparations to protect our homeland and defend the planet! ”
