Chapter 1099 Chaos
alien.
Extraterrestrial civilization.
A month ago, these two terms were quite unfamiliar to most people. However, in just one month, these two words have become words that most people talk about with disdain.
More than a week ago, rumors about extraterrestrial civilizations swept the entire Internet. With the help of Star Circle Trade and the Future People Group, they completely ignited a storm of public opinion.
The T virus and X2 bacteria have already tortured the fragile nerves of modern people. At a time when doomsday talk is rampant, the revelation of the news about these two and extraterrestrial civilization immediately caused earthquakes around the world.
Interestingly, those who are interested can clearly find that the entire sequence of news disclosure is quite "rhythmic."
At the beginning, only "informed people" revealed that the Outer Space Security Summit was a defensive summit held for extraterrestrial civilizations.
Then, an unnamed official from a certain country came forward and said that the spacecraft of an extraterrestrial civilization was on its way to the earth and had already crossed a distance of several light years. The government was discussing allocating 5% of GDP to build an extraterrestrial spacecraft. Colonial ship.
The signs of escapism ignited panic in the hearts of all those who were paying attention to this incident. The P citizens are not stupid. No matter how big the colonial ship is, they will definitely have no chance of getting a ticket.
Either we all live together or die together.
Such an argument may seem contrary to universal values, but most people living at the bottom know very well that this is their only hope for survival. Maybe they won't see that day, but no one can help but think about their descendants.
Demonstrations broke out all over the world, and class antagonisms rose to unprecedented heights. Even the new country could not stay away.
Just take the United States as an example.
After the news of extraterrestrial civilization was disclosed, while the White House was busy putting out the fire, the Wall Street bosses completely tore off the disguise on their faces.
The Morgan Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium joined forces with a number of Wall Street banks to launch a number of funds named Noah's Ark, Columbus, etc. in a non-public manner, and set a subscription threshold of US$10 million.
This fund will be used to build colonial ships outside the solar system. Each share of the fund corresponds to a "ship ticket", and every ten shares of the fund corresponds to a "ship ticket" for a special class seat.
However, there is no airtight wall in this world.
Once the fund was disclosed, it caused an uproar on the American Internet.
An MP who denounced the fund in Parliament and proposed legislation to ban it was kicked out of his party the next day. When I saw him again on the third day, he had transformed into a civilian hero, standing on the streets of Washington, D.C., leading a parade to surround the White House.
Then on the fifth day, the brave congressman was found shot multiple times in his home.
On the sixth day, his portrait appeared in the Occupy Wall Street parade. The demonstrators once clashed with the riot police. Anti-riot shields and tear gas made the scene extremely chaotic...
In addition to the controversial "Noah's Ark" fund, Silicon Valley has also spawned many terrestrial planet exploration companies, which obtain funding from investors by searching for terrestrial planets in billions of galaxies and formulating colonization plans.
In addition to the dispute between escapism and anti-escapism, many bizarre arguments have also emerged in this storm of public opinion.
Such as capitulationism.
Just when everyone was panicking about the colonial ships of extraterrestrial civilizations, the "Greenpeace" organization stood up. This organization that advertises love and peace claims to people that the extraterrestrial civilizations on the way may come with peaceful purposes, and that they believe that they have the purpose of aggression is just human arrogance and prejudice.
They also claimed that rash military action would only provoke a war between the two civilizations, and warned "some people" not to make the wrong choice.
If it is just talk, this organization has also exerted its global influence to the death, organizing two large-scale demonstrations in New Zealand. Both demonstrations were suppressed by police drones. Unconvinced, they turned their attention to the space elevator of Star Circle Trading and launched a desperate movement to occupy the space elevator.
Soon they paid the price for their folly.
Starring Trade is not as easy to talk to as the New Zealand government. The special operations brigade stationed at the base station on the sea directly detained all the demonstrators with guns and live ammunition. The court completed the trial as quickly as possible and threw them into the court without giving them a chance to appeal. prison.
Star Ring Trade's thunderous tactics finally calmed down some people's minds and recognized who was the master of this country.
However, high-pressure measures are not without side effects. Over the past two weeks, the domestic situation in New Zealand has been so unstable that the Presidential Palace had to issue a document to tighten the issuance of tourist visas.
Of course, for the colonists on the Mars colony, these things happening on Earth have nothing to do with them. Maybe after a while, when they call their relatives, they will be able to hear a few words about the riot on the phone, but now, aliens are still a very strange existence to them.
In other words, a very uneasy existence.
After returning to the colony, in just one day, Kesim's big mouth immediately shook out the anomalies discovered underground at the 071 mine site. Now that everyone in the colony knew that there might be Martians buried under their feet, the atmosphere in the colony cabin suddenly became strange.
Just when Hong Zewei, the captain of the Mars colony, was having a headache about how to write this report, New Zealand President Zhang Yaping had finished his visit to China and took a special plane to Russia.
The negotiations in China were not smooth sailing, but driven by common threats and visible benefits, the two sides reached an agreement on core issues and determined the basic framework of the Outer Space Defense Alliance.
After getting off the plane at Moscow International Airport, Russian President Vladimir Putin personally greeted him at the airport. Under the escort of the Russian Security Service, the motorcade carrying the two presidents headed to the Kremlin.
Sitting opposite Putin, Zhang Yaping looked out the window at the street scene in Moscow, glanced across an armored vehicle, and asked casually.
"What happened recently?"
"A lot of things happened, it depends on what you mean." Putin smiled slightly and replied in English.
"What needs an armored vehicle to solve?" Zhang Yaping asked in a relaxed tone.
Understanding what he meant, Pugin grinned, and then looked out the window indifferently. Zhang Yaping followed his line of sight and saw that it was a temporary sentry post set up on the street. The soldiers on duty were looking at the convoy, standing at attention and saluting.
"Just three days ago, some people jumped out to persuade me to leave a way out for the Slavs."
Zhang Yaping raised his eyebrows.
Before coming, he had done relevant homework and had some understanding of the corruption of financial oligarchs and politicians in Russia.
This is also what he is most worried about. If Russia's top leaders tend to be escapist, then his negotiations today are destined to be in vain.
"Oh? How did you answer them?"
Until the soldier disappeared from sight, Pujin withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhang Yaping, and said calmly.
"I told them, it doesn't matter if it's Napoleon, Hitler, or aliens."
"The Kremlin is in Moscow, and the Slavs are not going anywhere."
"It was in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future." (To be continued.) Activate a new website
