Chapter 286 Two Missions?
"Xiaochi, what should we do now?"
Facing Ding Zhaotong's question, under the gaze of many eyes around him, Luo Chi said in a deep voice: "Since it is confirmed that it is an aircraft of an alien civilization, it may have already approached the solar system or entered the solar system."
"No matter what, we have to find a way to stop it near Mars. We don't have much time left."
As the saying goes, it is impossible to be defensive, especially when facing a completely unknown civilization.
No one can be sure whether the other party has good intentions. In any case, they must be prepared in advance and actively think of ways to deal with this aircraft.
Most importantly, it must not be allowed to land on the planet.
Earth Star is currently in a harsh environment. If it becomes a battlefield again, it will inevitably cause irreversible damage.
When the time comes, the first people to suffer will probably be the humans who move underground.
Based on the time issue, intercepting this aircraft on Mars is undoubtedly the best way.
"How long will it take for the Blue Star to be delivered? I'm afraid it is our only means now." Facing Luo Chi's proposal, Ding Zhaotong asked hastily.
"The Blue Star was originally planned to be delivered in January next year, and it will take at least three months, but if we find a way to increase the speed, it should be put into use within one month."
Luo Chi carefully calculated the situation of the interstellar battleship Blue Star in his mind, and finally gave such a limit number.
Under the current circumstances, the sooner the Blue Star is put into use, the better. Luo Chi knows this very well.
But one month is already the fastest performance of Longhu Shipyard.
Fortunately, according to the detections of Titiangong and Guanghangong Moon Base, with the flying speed of the aircraft, it will take at least one month before reaching Mars.
So things aren't too bad.
Speaking of which, Luo Chi felt a little fortunate. If the Star Warship project hadn't been carried out in advance, he might not have the ability to fight back at this moment.
It's a pity that the production progress of Blue Star is still a little late, otherwise there would be no need to be as anxious as now.
"One month..."
"I really don't know if this time is a blessing or a curse for human beings?"
Hearing the time given by Luo Chi, Ding Zhaotong couldn't help but feel a little emotional and deeply worried about the future.
Mainly, we only know that that thing is an aircraft. Its style and ability cannot be determined, and it is impossible to predict the outcome of this battle.
If the opponent belongs to a higher civilization, let alone the interstellar battleship Blue Star, even if it is really a decisive battle on the planet Earth, there is no chance of winning.
After all, the levels between civilizations are insurmountable.
"It's a blessing, not a disaster. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Let's take a step and see!" Luo Chi responded to this.
Even he wasn't confident enough to handle it safely this time.
At this time, Cao Hu on the side suddenly suggested: "By the way, should we notify the alliance about this and announce it to the world?"
"Let's convene the Union Parliament first. This crisis requires the joint efforts of global forces."
Regarding Cao Hu's question, Luo Chi pondered for a moment and gave this answer.
After all, the Earth Star Security Alliance is the only core organization. Right now, Earth Star is about to face the invasion of alien civilizations, so naturally it has the right to know.
Otherwise, if you hide it from them, you are likely to cause some trouble at a critical moment, and in the end the gain will outweigh the loss.
As for ordinary human beings, they also have the right to know the facts.
In this way, even if human civilization does encounter a crisis of extinction, it can still stay with its relatives and loved ones at the end of life.
What's more, after experiencing the last Earth-Star disaster, Luo Chi believed that there would definitely be no chaos.
However, this still needs to be discussed after the Alliance Council is convened.
So Ding Zhaotong answered quickly: "Leave me to prepare for the alliance council. As for Xiaochi, the only thing you need to do is to manufacture the Blue Star as soon as possible."
"I'll try my best."
Luo Chi nodded in assurance.
Followed by.
Everyone stopped wasting time and began to get busy.
Cao Hu stayed in the command hall and continued to monitor the status of the aircraft and obtain as much information and data as possible.
Ding Zhaotong contacted members of the major alliances to prepare for an online alliance meeting.
Luo Chi spoke to Song Renru Tong Xiangyun through Blue Bell, informing them about the aircraft and asking him to maximize the efficiency of the Longhu Shipyard and strive to completely complete the Blue Star within a month.
Neither Song Renru nor Tong Xiangyun obviously doubted Luo Chi's words, and naturally understood the importance of this matter.
He immediately issued a military order to ensure the task was completed on time.
……
……
October 10, Wednesday.
At [-] o'clock in the morning, all members and heads of regional representatives once again entered the parliament hall through virtual helmets.
"Mr. Ding, why did you convene the council suddenly this time? Is there anything that needs to be discussed?"
As soon as the council started, Congressman Harlan couldn't help asking.
Oleko Catherine and others next to her were also confused and looked very confused.
After all, the parliament has been held so many times, both online and offline, but most of them have been notified in advance. It is indeed a bit abnormal to hold it without warning like this time.
Faced with this question, Ding Zhaotong did not answer, but turned to look at Luo Chi: "Let Congressman Luo tell everyone about this."
As Ding Zhaotong's voice fell, everyone's eyes immediately shifted to Luo Chi in unison.
Now that he has decided to announce the matter, Luo Chi will not waste time, and said directly: "Our space probe has discovered an unknown aircraft, which is very likely to be an alien civilization, and it may have entered the solar system by now."
As soon as this word comes out.
Harlan Densman and other overseas MPs suddenly changed their expressions.
Obviously this incident brought them quite a surprise!
Even the people in charge of the area below began to whisper and discuss.
"Are you sure it's an aircraft of an alien civilization?"
Harun, who still couldn't believe it, asked immediately.
"It has been confirmed." Luo Chi confirmed again.
Among these people, the one who feels the most responsible is naturally Catherine.
At the beginning, she strongly asked Blue Ocean Technology to stop developing interstellar battleships. The purpose was to worry about human civilization encountering alien civilizations too early. However, she did not expect that alien civilizations would come before the battleships were put into use.
If Blue Ocean Technology really listens to her suggestion and stops developing interstellar warships, it is estimated that human beings will really have no way to resist.
But this idea only stayed in her mind for a while, and soon she became worried again.
"Member Luo insisted on developing interstellar warships before, and he really had the foresight."
Densman, who was supported by Luo Chi, until this time, still does not forget to flatter, which can be said to be loyal.
"The level of our interstellar battleships is not yet known whether they can compete with alien civilization aircraft. Everyone must still be prepared for war between the earth and the stars."
Although you should not pour cold water on yourself at this time, crisis awareness is absolutely indispensable.
If you only rely on the Blue Star without preparing other plans, you will definitely face a disastrous failure!
To be able to achieve the position of a councilor, one should be quite aware of danger. As soon as Luo Chi finished speaking, Oleko echoed: "The Earth Star is facing a crisis, and our Earth Star Security Alliance will naturally stand in front, even if If it really escalates to fighting on the mainland, our nuclear bombs will not be vegetarian."
"Yes, I think there are quite a few nuclear warheads stored by various companies now."
Listening to everyone's remarks, Luo Chi was very satisfied. As long as everyone can share the same hatred, the chance of successfully passing this crisis will be greater.
But just when the parliament was almost coming to an end and the members of the House of Representatives reached an agreement, Catherine, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "Why do we have to fight? If the other party came with friendship?"
There was a sudden silence in the council hall.
What Catherine said does have some truth. No one can judge whether it is hostile without actually communicating with the alien civilization.
But as the saying goes, people who are not of my race must have different hearts.
Luo Chi doesn't think that people traveled so many light years and came to the solar system to help human civilization.
Even if you want to try to contact it, you have to be outside of Mars!
What's more, only with enough force in hand can we have the bargaining chip to negotiate with the other party.
It is undoubtedly an extremely stupid decision to put all hope on the enemy, which makes Luo Chi feel even more disgusted with Catherine, thinking that she is really not suitable to be a member of parliament.
He didn't say much about the battleship last time. He didn't expect Catherine to still not improve after a few months.
After this matter is over, we must find an opportunity to abolish her status as a member of parliament.
But when Luo Chi was about to respond to Catherine's words, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly, as if something unexpected had happened.
Luo Chi never expected it.
At this time, the system that had been silent for a long time responded.
A new task has been posted.
After concentrating his consciousness a little, he immediately saw the detailed instructions on the task on the system panel.
Mission [-]: The Battle of Civilizations
Explanation: The dark laws in the universe have filled civilizations with chaos. It is common for high-level civilizations to destroy low-level civilizations. If they are discovered by another civilization, a war is destined to break out!
Requirements: Completely destroy the enemy warships to ensure the continuation of human civilization.
Reward: Brain development once.
-
Task [-]: Win-win cooperation
Explanation: If human civilization wants to develop faster, it needs the help of other civilizations. Seizing this opportunity is the key.
Requirements: Successfully obtain help from alien civilizations.
Reward: One chance to perform a deduction and three draws.
The difference from last time was that this time there were two tasks at the same time, and he was asked to choose one of them.
Luo Chi was a little tangled.
Judging from the descriptions and requirements of the two tasks, they are completely opposite ways of handling them. No matter which one you choose, you must carefully consider it.
As it concerns the safety of the entire Earth and human civilization, it is naturally impossible for Luo Chi to choose according to the mission rewards.
