In the information age,
What's more, under the instruction of some people, some things were leaked out half-pushed and half-done like the red cloth covering the bride's head. Almost at the same time that the Earth Defense Alliance Congress was announced, some news about the conference had leaked on the Internet.
In my memory, the first two Earth Defense Alliance congresses were held, one was because of the threat from the Gliese galaxy, and the other was because of what happened in Finland. We don’t know whether the starship discovered under the ice cap of Europa is a blessing or a curse, and many people are already getting nervous.
"I wonder what those aliens look like? Are they four-legged or two-legged this time?"
"Maybe without legs!"
"To be fair, since the alien ship can sail under the Europa ice cap, there is no reason why it can't sail out. This must be a conspiracy of those aliens, deliberately waiting for us to rescue them, and then taking the opportunity to attack us You are planning something evil!"
"Drinking your life from gutter oil, worrying about the United Nations, if the sky falls and there is still a tall man to support you, why do you care about so many things when you are idle and bored?"
“…”
Regarding the rumors on the Internet, Star Ring Trading rarely refuted the rumors this time, as if it had not noticed it at all, and did not even express any opinions. However, it is precisely because of this attitude of allowing public opinion to ferment that the discussion among the people has become more and more heated.
The various discussions surrounding this mysterious starship can be described as imaginative. There are rational analyses, groundless conjectures, and even pure rumors. However, Star Circle Trade and various governments seemed not to take this matter to heart at all, until a demonstration in Los Angeles.
Twenty thousand people took to the streets of Los Angeles and marched along the road leading to Los Angeles International Airport. They wore blue headscarves on their heads and waved flags in their hands. The flags showed a blue earth surrounded by olive branches. They shouted slogans such as "Abolish borders", "Universal love" and "Towards the future". .
The reason is because of a paper published by a professor at the University of Cologne, which analyzed from the perspective of civilization why the previous several contacts between earth civilization and alien civilizations ended in failure, and obscurely pointed out the future development path of earth civilization. concerns faced.
In terms of reputation alone, the professor who published this editorial is not a big figure in academia, but Hawking's name appears in the signature of the paper, which immediately puts this paper that should not have been taken seriously into the new spotlight. high.
"When we come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations, it is not with humanity as a whole, but with countries or even companies. In the eyes of extraterrestrial civilizations, the state we present is chaos and disorder, and they cannot even interpret our Language, because even we ourselves are trying to form a unity in language. In this state, we cannot start a dialogue with extraterrestrial civilizations, and we cannot expect them to understand our "chaos" as "political and cultural diversity" ation' rather than being backward and weak."
"In fact, we are indeed weak enough. In the Brood's Nest incident in northern Finland, the Finnish Army and the British Navy who came to support launched two rounds of attacks on the Brood's Nest. However, the final result ended in tragedy. If From the beginning, we have responded to threats from extraterrestrial civilizations as a whole, and the final result may be much better than now."
"As time goes by, the possibility of us reaching reconciliation becomes lower and lower, and even in the not-too-distant future, we will split into two or more distinct civilizations due to differences. If a unified political organization cannot be formed, The second level in the Kardashev hierarchy is the ceiling that earth civilization can reach... "
Perhaps even this professor did not expect that his paper would be reproduced by major media and become the fuse that ignited the voice of globalists.
The parade was carried out in a peaceful atmosphere from the beginning to the end. The Los Angeles police dispatched helicopters and police cars to accompany the crowd, but did not disperse the crowd. Those who are interested can find that the White House showed an unexpected calmness towards this demonstration.
Sitting in a police car outside the parade, two Los Angeles police officers were chewing sandwiches while keeping an eye on the people, wary of them doing something outrageous.
"Globalists? I've seen black people, Indians, and women taking to the streets to cause trouble, but this is the first time I've seen these people making trouble."
"It's quite strange, but it is said that they have a lot of background. Did you see the helicopter overhead? Everyone from ST was mobilized."
"Who is the financial backer behind them?"
"It is said to be the Star Ring Trade."
"real or fake?"
"Who knows, I only know one thing. The home base of these globalists is Penglai City. They call for the establishment of an Earth Federation on top of the Earth Defense Alliance. The ultimate goal is to eliminate borders. If there are really no borders and tariffs, the benefits are estimated to be only Those people. American companies can’t help but take away their own tariff protections, so they only give money to these people to cause trouble.”
A demonstration of 20,000 people is just a drop in the city of Los Angeles. Trump can even be quite proud to say that on the day he took office, more than ten times as many people took to the streets of Los Angeles to give him the middle finger.
However, what is interesting is that following Los Angeles, many major cities around the world have launched similar initiatives in different ways. As if overnight, these idealists who had never expressed political demands turned into unswerving activists.
The more direct ones include parades, the more subtle ones include lighting candles, releasing balloons, running marathons on the border, etc.
Anyone with a bit of international perspective can see that there is an invisible hand behind it.
A week has passed since the meeting with Lavrov, and there is less than a week left before the Earth Defense Alliance Congress.
During this week, Jiang Chen met with almost all foreign ministers from various countries. The issues discussed were nothing more than Europa, the starship discovered under the Europa ice cap, and the upcoming third Three Earth Defense Alliance Congresses.
After handling these matters, Jiang Chen contacted Ge Luwen again. Still in the holographic conference room, he sent an electronic file of a document, or a "script".
Glancing at the document with an indifferent gaze, Ge Luwen waved his hand, and the document composed of holographic images dispersed into numbers 0 and 1. He looked at Jiang Chen and asked.
"What's the point of doing this?"
"In order to have more chances of winning when facing the invasion of the Harmony camp, and to avoid self-destruction due to internal conflicts before the arrival of foreign enemies." Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You were once like us, so you should be able to understand The situation we face now.”
"I can lend you the Golovin mental system." Gorovin said.
"We don't need that kind of thing." Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Why?"
"If we actively accept assimilation in another sense in order to refuse to be assimilated, then what's the point of our resistance? It's better to put down our weapons and embrace evolution."
Smiling slightly, and leaving these words behind, along with Gorovin who was lost in thought, Jiang Chen ended his last meeting with Gorovin before the Earth Defense Alliance Congress...
