Chapter 1,090 Footprints on the Snow

The meeting lasted for a full three hours before today's agenda of the summit came to an end.

When Jiang Chen announced that the meeting was adjourned, the foreign ministers of each country left the meeting as quickly as possible after receiving the documents issued by Star Ring Trading. For them, the most important thing now is to have a phone call with their leaders and then send back the information they have obtained.

The reporters waiting outside the parliament building were doomed to be disappointed. The foreign ministers of various countries did not give them a chance to interview them. After going out, they got on the helicopter and flew away immediately.

It is clear that the summit did not reach conclusions that were disclosed to the public.

At least not today.

The reporters outside the parliament building put away their cameras and left the venue one after another, cursing and cursing. Although they were reluctant, they now recognized this fact. They had waited for more than three hours in vain.

However, many attentive reporters still noticed something unusual on the faces of the foreign ministers who left the scene.

Their expressions were all serious.

Or anxiety?

The reporters who noticed this were thinking hard about the method, trying to dig out valuable news from these scraps so that they could take it back to their bosses.

What exactly makes foreign ministers of various countries so anxious?

Their intuition told them that there was a lot to be done, but even if they tried to break their heads, they would not know that it was all because of the document that Jiang Chen finally sent to the foreign ministers of various countries.

It was an astronomical observation report.

After confirming that there were signs of life in Gliese 581g, Kerwin led the astronomical observation team of the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics to conduct a carpet search of the airspace outside the Gliese 581 galaxy. According to Jiang Chen's opinion, the focus of the observations was The asteroid belt outside the star system.

Soon, they discovered something horrifying from those asteroid belts.

An unnatural vacuum belt has been observed in several asteroid belts between the Earth and Gliese 581g...

…

Two days have passed since the first round of consultations at the summit concluded, and two days have passed since the document was sent to the United States.

On June 17, a group of bureaucrats from the White House gathered in a conference room at the NASA headquarters in the United States. Moreover, the level of these bureaucrats is not small. Even the president and the secretary of defense came here in person, which flattered NASA, a small bureaucracy.

Even though NASA has recently gained a certain amount of attention due to its increasingly popular aerospace projects, it has never been like today when several big shots from the White House came to visit. Only during the arms race between the United States and the former Soviet Union, NASA was lucky enough to receive this honor.

"Need a cup of coffee?"

"No need." Hillary shook her head sullenly, and the chief of staff sitting next to her kept silent.

Today was the day the results came out. Although she could sit in the White House and wait for the news, how could she sit still after hearing such shocking facts?

At this moment, the door of the conference room opened and Bolden walked in quickly.

Dozens of eyes in front of the conference table all looked at him. Facing those knife-like sights, Bolden took a deep breath, threw the documents in his arms on the conference table, and said bravely.

"The observations are in."

"What's the result?" Hillary asked hurriedly, while constantly praying in her heart about the one in ten thousand possibility. However, she knew very well that this was just self-deception. The wry smile on Bolden's face had already explained a lot of problems.

"It's basically consistent with the data on Star Ring trade," Bolden said.

Hillary was silent, and the entire conference room was silent.

Originally, some of the people here were still feeling lucky. After all, with the existing astronomical observation methods, it was simply impossible to conduct such a detailed star map. So many people even began to wonder if this was false information fabricated by Star Ring Trading using special means.

But eyes can be deceiving,

But the data will not be faked.

What's more, the other party wrote the detailed astronomical coordinates of the asteroid belt in the document and left it to each country to verify.

After NASA researchers obtained the data, they immediately used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe the coordinate area. Although it is impossible to draw such a clear star map like the Star Ring Trade, NASA has calculated the same result three times based on multiple sets of data obtained by the Hubble Telescope.

Regular vacuum zones have been observed in many asteroid belts between the Earth and Gliese 581g. It is obviously unrealistic to attribute this to the miraculous work of nature. There is only one possibility for this phenomenon to occur.

That's something going through there.

And the size and speed of that thing are not small.

"What do you think the vacuum belt is most likely to be?" Hillary swallowed and asked with difficulty.

"They're footprints," Bolden said with an ugly expression. "The footprints of a wild beast walking through the snow."

"I'm thinking the same thing as you." Carter said with a stern look, feeling that his squeezing palms were beginning to sweat.

He admits that he was a Star Wars fan when he was young. His bedroom was filled with "Independence Day" posters, and he even fantasized about being the pilot who crashed a fighter jet into an alien spaceship. But he never thought that one day he would actually confront aliens.

And still in his capacity as Minister of Defense.

"What do you think our chances of winning are?" Hillary looked at Carter and asked.

Carter did not answer the question directly, but said with a wry smile, "What do you think Iraq's chances of winning in a fight with us are."

Hearing this, Hillary also laughed bitterly.

Now that the aircraft carriers of extraterrestrial civilizations have set off, they are struggling to even build a ship to "go to sea". As for the local decisive battle? After witnessing the horror of the Brood, who else can muster the courage to face the tidal sea of ​​alien creatures?

"Rather than defeating them, I'm afraid it's more practical to build a spaceship and escape." Bol shook his head bitterly and laughed at himself, but he didn't expect pairs of eyes to look at him.

"It's definitely an idea."

"Yes, at least we can keep the president, just like Air Force 1."

"And it can also bring many people with it, leaving seeds for the United States and even human civilization."

"..."

Seeing that his colleagues had begun discussing how to escape because of his words, Bolden suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said quickly.

"Do you think Congress will approve this budget? Take taxpayer money to let the president run away? Those lawmakers are not crazy yet."

"That's not necessarily the case." Hilary, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.

Compared to Bolden, a man of action who was born as an astronaut, Hillary, who has been in politics for many years, undoubtedly has a political sense that is more than twice as sensitive as his. She knows who the White House really serves, and she also knows who she should please the most.

"Members of Congress don't want to die, and the wealthy people on Wall Street don't want to die either. We don't even need to raise money from Congress." Hillary's chief of staff also said.

With a glimmer of hope in her pupils, Hillary and her chief of staff sang in unison.

"All you need to do is set up a Noah's Ark fund and give investors a ticket."

Everyone's eyes lit up.

yes!

As long as you can convince those wealthy people to come on board, are you worried about not being able to raise funds?

However, at this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Hillary's assistant trotted over in a hurry.

"What's so urgent?" Although her face was full of sullenness, Hillary still maintained her presidential demeanor and asked in a deep voice.

"People, people are holding signs and demonstrating in front of the White House. I hope you can explain." The assistant said with sweat on his face.

"Explain what?" Hilary frowned.

The assistant didn't answer, opened the news page, and handed the phone to Hillary.

When she took the phone, Hillary already felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell where it was. However, the moment she saw the news headline, her mood suddenly hit rock bottom. Her crow's feet wrinkled with anger, and she almost cursed out loud.

"Despicable!" (To be continued.)
