In the following week, the public security organs and the State Security Bureau stepped up their investigation into the kidnapping case of Gu Sileng's child, but there were no clues or evidence. Two weeks later, there was still no progress or lead. The killer seemed to have evaporated from the world, perhaps aware of the seriousness of the problem, perhaps with a long-term plan, the clownfish and the nightingale did not rush into action, so that the message was like a reef sunk in the sea, and the smoke was so vast that it was difficult to find a drop in the ocean. In the vast sea of people in Chinese mainland, a woman is difficult to find no matter what. After another six months, there was still no progress in the detection, but a task force was formed. Therefore, there are also some comrades who are holding on and continuing to carry out investigations. Then came the extremely hot summer, knowing that the trees were croaking and screaming, and the fiery sun was like a fireball scorching the earth, and the air on the earth seemed to be steamed. Person. Walking around in this air looks like sweat, as promised by the comrades of the NSA. Two SWAT officers were guarded at all times. Gu Silen's two children, Bai Hongyi and Bai Zhiyuan. The two special police officers, Chen Li, are conscientious with Wang Feng, and they get along very well with Gu Silen's family. Due to the abduction, there is a special case for Gu Silen's children to enter the Gu Silen research center. Because Gu Silen worked late at the research center, and Natasha had to attend classes at a military academy, the children were sometimes brought to the research center and waited for Gu Silen to get off work. This is a great opportunity for this. Bai Hongyi and Bai Zhiyuan were very interested in these scientific research work.

The base is inside a mountain, half of which has been hollowed out, and it is brightly lit. There are small nuclear power plants. Libraries, research institutes, small sports fields, and huge equipment storage units make it look like a small city. There are more than 500 scientists and some other support personnel stationed at the base for research. Lieutenant General Xiao Kefei is in charge of this base, and he coordinates everything. Bai Zhiyuan and Bai Hongyi have time, and sometimes they can meet Lieutenant General Xiao Kefei. They always said enthusiastically: "Grandpa Xiao is good." At this time, Xiao Kefei appeared. Very happy, he stretched out his big hand and stroked the top of their heads and said, "Gu Silen's child has grown so tall, I guess I won't be able to touch your head in another year or two." When he said this, he smiled contentedly like a loving grandfather.

However, research continues on the other side. The mysterious metal body left by the alien did not give everyone any revelation or clue, it was like an eternal mystery in the universe, but its formation was known to Gu Silen. It was an incomparably dazzling ball of light that fused with an incomparably dazzling fireball, and finally became this mysterious metal object. Its texture is very hard, the surface is extremely smooth, and even if you look at it with a microscope, it is extremely dense on top. But it forms a whole sphere, which cannot but amaze the alien technology. This metal sphere has been studied for many, many years. And. Although the ring sent by his younger brother Timur has a different shape, the texture, density, and other physical characteristics are the same as the structure of the mysterious metal sphere in front of him, is there any connection between the two?

Gu Silen pondered and meditated, why is there such a ring in Temujin's mausoleum? On the other side of the sea, there will be such a metal sphere in the ruins of aliens. If the metal sphere is a fusion of a fireball and a ball of light, then what is this half ring? What is the fusion, and will there be some kind of connection and correlation between them? With these questions in mind, Gu Silen conducted his research day and night. In the same group are not only astronomers, but also physicists, anthropologists and philosophers. They all try to unravel the messages that alien civilizations have left us. And a text sent back from Nezha and the deep space probe is undoubtedly a prophecy and warning, are they helping the progress of human civilization? Everyone thought so, and the research continued.

Of all the studies, astronomical research seems to be more mysterious and endlessly exploring. Then, time is like a leaf on a tree, sprouting in spring, thriving in summer, and falling helplessly in autumn, just like the cycle of time, perfectly becoming the running of a clock. A year has passed, and there is still no progress in the research. At this time, both the researchers, the police comrades who solved the kidnapping case of Gu Sileng's child, and the comrades of the National Security Bureau all encountered a bottleneck and seemed to be about to give up. However, another news came from the research institute first, Nezha deep space, the comet tracked by the probe has entered the solar system and is approaching the earth. It will create a big crisis. If human beings can solve the problem perfectly with the current technology, maybe this is a gift from an alien civilization. If not, it will be a great disaster for the world.

After World War II, the United Nations was established first by the United States. Although the role of the United Nations is often marginalized in the stage of the great power game, there is no substitute for the need for such an organization in all countries, and there is no room for a voice in international affairs. The United Nations is still a faltering operator. As Western countries, they often ignore the rules of the United Nations and launch trade wars and wars of aggression against other countries. And for this, the United Nations. But nothing can be done. It has also led many developing countries to question the credibility and competence of the United Nations. But even so, the United Nations still has a huge say in international affairs. It has helped mankind to play a leading role in many global issues such as science and technology, finance, disease, human rights, disasters, economy, and biological protection.

However, this time from Proxima Centauri. The comet that flew into the solar system attracted great attention from the United Nations. In an extremely solemn auditorium, with blue and white marble behind it, the semicircular fan-shaped place was full. Representatives of various countries sat in it, waiting for the Chinese representatives. Xu Huaqiu's speech. This time, the theme is that a comet is approaching, a catastrophe is coming, and we will respond in solidarity, said the secretary general of the United Nation, Cramer: "According to the news from our global scientific research centers and China's Nezha launch probe, one of the comets we are monitoring is flying towards our Earth at a very fast speed. The earth is our common home, the place where all human civilizations were born. If our nations do not work together, this catastrophe can be compared to the catastrophe that wiped out the dinosaurs, the world's most powerful hegemons, 65 million years ago. ”

Speaking of this, UN Secretary-General Kramer paused, and the entire venue was silent and silent. Kramer then continued: "Two hundred years ago, a hundred years ago, China's near-Earth asteroid defense system was built day by day. In between, there have been three times when large meteorites and small comets have flown to Earth. And then. This time, it coincided with the Earth's orbit with a large comet weighing 45 tons, and we can't be sure that it will disappear through the atmosphere, so we must have the Chinese government step in and have them use the near-Earth asteroid defense system to destroy this comet to ensure the continuation of our world and our civilization. ”

After saying these words, the meeting room was still silent, but some Western representatives looked unnatural. As the proud son of the industrial revolution, the West once dominated the social, economic, scientific and technological, and cultural life of the whole world for two to three hundred years. However, as the east rises and the west falls, such a position has given way to the current China. The near-Earth asteroid breeding system, such a major facility related to the safety of the earth, has no say in the West, which has to make them extremely annoyed. Hope remains on China's near-Earth asteroid defense system. Seeing that the representatives of various countries did not speak. UN Secretary-General Cramer said: "Then I would like to invite Mr. Xu Huaqiu, the representative of the Chinese government, to speak to us. ”

I saw a Chinese in a suit and leather shoes with silver hair walking gently onto the center podium. He stared at the audience, adjusted his clothes with his hands, placed the microphone in the middle, and then said in a crisp voice: "Hello delegates to the United Nations, delegates from various countries, and friends! I am Xu Huaqiu, the United Nations spokesman of the Chinese People's Government. According to the observations of astronomical stations in our country and other countries around the world, that forty-five-ton comet is indeed capable of causing great damage to our planet. Because according to archaeologists' predictions, the 45-ton comet has been the same as the original dinosaurs. The extinct asteroid is on par. If we can't shoot them down, they'll let it. Our global life has suffered tremendous destruction, producing soot. If two months of sunlight do not reach the plants, the plants and animals will die in large numbers, and the harmful gases produced will damage the entire biosphere. At the moment we don't know what the comet is made of, so I suggest China. The near-Earth asteroid defense system was activated to shoot down the comet. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Huaqiu paused, and the audience burst into warm applause. Xu Huaqiu continued: "Because I don't know the texture and structure of this comet. Therefore, before the start of near-Earth asteroid breeding, the Chinese government will send a starship to deep space to block it, and will launch a hydrogen bomb to destroy the asteroid. If there is a debris that then invades the Earth, the near-Earth asteroid defense system will ablate the debris so as not to affect the Earth's ecosystem. After saying these words, Xu Huaqiu looked at the place where the American representative looked, and the American representative looked a little arrogant, but he was helpless, and wanted to speak but had nothing to say. So Xu Huaqiu, the Chinese representative, went on to say: "This is the plan of the Chinese people's government. If other countries need to participate, we will listen to your plans and courses of action. After saying this, representatives of the United States, India, Japan, Germany, France, Italy and other Western countries did not make any noise, because none of them had a near-Earth asteroid defense system. Maybe only the United States and India have four or five starships, but they don't want to get involved. With the end of UN Secretary-General Morakot's speech, the whole programme was laid out. It was the Chinese government that launched a sniping attack on the comet. Codename: Operation Melting Star.

This comet that broke into the solar system and headed straight for Earth. The International Astronomical Society tentatively named it Liuli. Liuli is a lone comet whose trajectory was observed by the Nezha deep-space probe before it broke into the solar system. He flew all the way to the solar system at great speed. It gives a sense of coming in with a mission, yet entering. After the solar system, the colonies on Mars have been observed, and the solar system has been filled with various probes launched by earthlings, so the comet's every move is constantly monitored. Astronomers have warned of this for a long time, but disaster has not struck, people are just preparing for a rainy day.

Now, the comet, named Ruri, is imminent. Representatives of various countries and the United Nations. I convened a general meeting to deal with this. I thought it was a very secret meeting, and I didn't want to cause panic and commotion in various countries. However, it was still unearthed by dedicated reporters. First of all, on American television, the famous journalist. Pritz presented a large amount of evidence to illustrate one. A deadly comet is heading for Earth, and the bombshell-like news immediately swept through American journalism, and people began to panic. Some people have begun to question whether human civilization can escape this catastrophe. The rich began to plan their migration to Mars, while the poor who had no resources hoarded goods and food. This wave of panic is like an ocean current, with the burst of information. The development is spread all over the world. As a result, people in countries around the world began to stock up on food, daily necessities, and shelters. For a time, rock mass deep underground and self-contained condominium-style shelters in the mountains became assets that the wealthy and middle class scrambled to buy.

And the vast number of people in the developing countries have caused a lot of unrest. People are questioning human civilization today. Can you resist this one? The catastrophe of an asteroid impact. So the messages about the end of the world began one after another. In different corners of the world, a number of cults have flourished in various countries, calling on believers to sacrifice their belongings and lives to ascend to another world. In that world, there is eternal happiness and endless wealth, and whenever disaster strikes, only those countries and people who are determined and responsible will forge ahead. And those who don't have the strength. And the population of the capable country is in a state of panic and fear. However, the rumors continue, the panic still spreads, and there is fear in everyone's heart. The incomparably beautiful and happy life in front of you may end the day you wake up, and such an outcome is unacceptable to most people.

In the midst of global panic and turmoil, the Chinese People's Government's Star-Melting Operation is proceeding in an orderly manner. The sky is still nothing. Than clear. The people who go to work are still on track, which is a microcosm of Beijing, China. That night, Natasha returned home, turned on the television, and learned that a comet might be hitting Earth at breakneck speed. He waited for Gu Silen to get off work. After a long while, the doorbell finally rang. Chen Li and Wang Feng escorted Bai Hongyi and Bai Zhiyuan to the living room, and then left. An hour and a half later, Gu Silen returned home, feeling extremely tired. Originally, the study of the mysterious metal of the alien ruins was at a loss. Now that the asteroid hitting the Earth is making a lot of noise in the world, Natasha has already prepared a table for dinner.

At the dinner table, he said to the ancient poetics: "You know what? Now the whole world is in an uproar, saying that a comet named Liuli is about to hit the earth, which may be the most urgent disaster in the history of human civilization. Gu Sileng, looking at Natasha and Bai Hongyi and Bai Zhiyuan, said: "Actually, I have known this news for a long time, and as astronomers, our society has already made an early warning of this. Don't worry too much. China's near-Earth asteroid defense system was established and perfected 100 years ago, during which time it shot down large meteorites and small comets three times, and it is estimated that this time it will not cause much damage to us. Not to mention this time. According to my information, Operation Rongxing is a gathering of resources from various countries around the world. Natasha looked at Gu Silen faintly and said, "God bless us, I hope that mankind can survive this disaster safely." ”

Bai Hongyi, who was eating on the side, said: "It's just a not-so-lucky choice. Gu Silen listened to his words and said with some confusion: "What did you say? Bai Hongyi continued: "Dad, you think there have been so many times in human history. It just so happened that human beings walked upright, changed from apes to humans, and possessed wisdom. It just so happened that human beings mastered fire, used the power of nature for the first time, and it was also the continuous progress and innovation of human beings. So on the basis of so many lucky times, there is not a single bad luck? Maybe it's just the luck of civilization, but it's by no means the growth of civilization. Now, the time has come to test civilization, and in the face of an unprecedented crisis, can we test the resilience of civilization and the resilience of the peoples of the world? This time it's a choice, it's not an accident, it's also. This kind of inevitability. ”

After listening to Bai Hongyi's words, Gu Silen felt a little unable to understand the child in front of him, this kind of words came out of the mouth of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, which seemed too deep. Bai Zhiyuan said beside him: "When we take the bioevolution course, we all know that the evolution of species will face many challenges and survival limitations. Nowadays, as an advanced civilization, human beings are constantly evolving, and it will inevitably be challenged from all sides, as well as existential crises. If people can survive this catastrophe completely, maybe there will be a big step forward in civilization. Listening to the discussion of the two children, Gu Sileng said in his heart that yes, the children have indeed grown up, they have their own thoughts, their worldview, and their ideals and responsibilities. Natasha just said: "I just hope that this crisis can be resolved satisfactorily, so that our family can live happily together?" ”
