Blue and White Society

  Chapter 461 The eve of the trial

  A hemispherical cloud cover stands over the sea, visible to anyone near the beach in Los Angeles.

  What a strange scene that was. The waves hit the edge of the cloud cover, as if they were hitting the edge of a seaside cliff, which meant that the thing was not a cloud, it was rigid!

  The Canadian fleet is nearby, rushing to the scene, surrounded by clouds.

  The scene in front of me is like an energy barrier in a sci-fi movie, but it has no sci-fi feel at all. Its image is a churning white cloud.

   "Colonel Wallace, it blocked the signal, and we have no idea what's going on inside." A naval petty officer said.

  Wallace carefully observes the cloud cover and orders the drone to approach.

   A lot of drones were sent out, and they circled the cloud cover looking for possible gaps, but there were none.

  Not only the sea surface is completely covered, but also under the water surface, including a part of the seabed silt. The entire cloud cover is a sphere, which penetrates air, sea water, silt, rocks and other substances, but isolates the inside and outside.

  The drone collided with it and was unable to advance at all. A small drone even knocked off the engine on one side because of its high speed and fell into the sea.

   "This is a physical barrier that looks like a cloud..."

   "Already rooted here?"

   "Keep those stupid reporters anywhere near here!"

  Wallace ordered people to block this sea area, because a large number of reporters could already be seen rushing here on the beach in the distance.

   Now that things are going on, how can there be any luck? It simply cannot be a product of the earth.

   Extraterrestrial civilization, only this one explanation.

  If this is the case, then they will face the greatest test in human history: how to face aliens.

  This question may seem simple, but it is actually a huge problem.

  Human beings have never discovered extraterrestrial life, and the rumors all along are nothing but people's vain imaginations.

  When their carrier rockets sent the space shuttle to Mars many times, when they surveyed the rock formations there, it was basically determined that there was no life on Mars.

   There's water there, even once rich in oxygen, but no signs of life.

It is precisely because there is no life transforming the planet's environment like industrious porters, the water on Mars is quickly lost, leaving only some deep icy lakes, and oxygen has already dyed the iron-rich soil. up red. Even though Mars once had water and oxygen, it has become the desolate scene it is today.

  The research on Mars has brought a consensus in the academic community: the birth of life is accidental.

   Some people even think that perhaps the existence of human beings is a great fluke, and there are very few existences in the Milky Way.

   And today, that fluke is broken, and they're not alone.

  The scene here was transmitted to Tiannuo headquarters in real time, and Canadian senior officials discussed it repeatedly, and all heavyweight professors participated.

comminicate? The other party ignored it.

Violence? Don't dare, how to break through the cloud cover? And how to deal with the consequences of using violence?

  If it leads to unbearable consequences, it will be unlucky for the entire civilization of the earth. Who can take the responsibility?

  The black ball fell from the outer atmosphere at high speed, during which the friction with the air did not bring any change to it, not even heat.

   It is conceivable that the black ball that appeared near the earth out of thin air has technology beyond the reach of human beings.

  Humans in front of the black ball are like primitive tribes facing a battleship.

  They either drove the battleship away with stone and wooden spears, or worshiped it as a god.

  Human dignity does not allow them to choose the latter, and human reason does not allow them to choose the former.

  These chaebols can’t make up their minds at all. They are nothing more than some chaebols when it comes to matters related to all mankind. There are many powerful countries on the earth, even superpowers. How can they come up with regulations?

   Fortunately, the new United Nations headquarters in East Timor soon sent an invitation to the meeting.

  Delegates from various countries will participate in the video conference to discuss urgently how to deal with the black ball.

  Astronomers, physicists, biologists, sociologists, and even psychologists were invited. Each of this huge advisory group is a top national treasure authority in each country.

"...To sum up, we cannot use force under any circumstances. We must exercise restraint, restraint, restraint and restraint!" A physicist emphatically emphasized that the current human civilization does not have force after describing the super technology that the other party may possess The odds against the odds.

  Suspected leaps appear out of thin air, dark matter-level invisibility technology, no matter what kind, are beyond human imagination.

  "Everyone understands this truth, but how should we deal with foreign civilizations? We know very little about the universe, and there is no precedent for diplomacy between civilizations in the universe." Someone asked.

An astronomer from China said: "Although we don't know whether there are any rules in the universe, we can tell a thing or two from the behavior of the other party, because we can be sure that the other party must be a more mature and advanced civilization than us. "

   "Oh? Keep talking!"

  The Chinese astronomer said: "Until now, we have had the first type of contact with the black ball, and the second type of contact. That is, we have witnessed and touched the things they affect at close range."

"However, the third type of contact was rejected. The cloud and fog barrier is the evidence. That thing blocked us, which means that the other party does not want us to touch the black ball directly, or there are advanced humanoid life forms inside and do not want to contact us. direct contact."

  Everyone nodded, this is obvious, if they are willing to contact with their third type, they will not create such a barrier.

  The astronomer continued: "The fourth type of contact, in which human beings use friendly information to contact alien civilizations, has also been ignored. It can be said that people are neither willing to contact nor communicate."

  Everyone frowned, the fact is true, but this conclusion is too uncomfortable, there is neither contact nor communication, so what is the black ball going to do?

   "I haven't finished speaking yet. At the same time, the other party doesn't want to attack us, and is also restraining himself."

   Someone asked: "How do you know? Maybe it will launch a devastating blow in the next second."

The astronomer said: "Attention, the way the black ball landed was very rough, without any deceleration measures, and it hit the surface directly like a dense space-based weapon. There is no doubt that this is a manifestation of too high technology, and people simply disdain Slow down, because this level of collision will not cause any damage to the black ball."

   "I have reason to believe that the black ball can destroy any building on the surface simply by impact."

"But when they clearly disdain to slow down, they have adjusted their orbits in the atmosphere! I have studied the path data of the black ball in detail. If the black ball does not adjust its orbit, it will fall to the center of Los Angeles. By then There will be countless casualties."

   "But the result? It chose to hit the sea, and the victim was only a woman on a civilian ship that was there at the time."

  Everyone immediately rechecked the data, and quickly confirmed that the black ball did evade at that time and avoided hitting Los Angeles.

  If it hit Los Angeles at that time, I'm afraid the disaster would radiate an area.

   "Disdain to slow down, but deliberately avoided our densely populated areas, and only killed one of us. Is this restraint?" the astronomer said.

  A sociologist frowned and said: "If the black ball didn't want to kill people, why did it kill that one? They can deviate a little bit more and fall into the sea of ​​no one."

The astronomer smiled and said: "Yes, everyone's life is priceless, but in this matter, I don't want to discuss moral issues. Because we must have a huge cognitive bias with each other, maybe in the eyes of the other party , Are certain sea creatures equivalent to that woman? The black ball may not choose the area with the least kills near the crash point, but the area with the least kills of mammals, or even the area with the fewest kills of creatures.”

   "I think aliens have exercised maximum restraint! They have a sense of morality!"

  "The momentary ignorance may be waiting for something. For us, this indifference and calm may be the eve of the trial..."

  His meaning is very simple. The behavior of the black ball is very similar to arriving at a place for the first time, first enclosing itself for protection, then slowly sorting out information, and then deciding how to deal with the situation on the earth.

  Before they have a comprehensive understanding of the earth, they refuse all substantive contacts and statements.

  I will neither hit you nor ignore you, wait until I find out what you guys are...

   "Perhaps, people are quietly observing us. But we just want to show the best side of human beings. It is war or peace, and the initiative is in the hands of the other party."

   Everyone looked at each other, the eve of the trial? This statement is too difficult to accept.

  …
