Chapter 16: The Star Destroyer Cannon is fully charged! Beijing. in the office. Minister Yang Yu hasn't left work yet. At this moment, he was looking at the news coming from all over the place, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river). Ever since the declaration of war appeared in the evening, the panic in the country has been more serious than he had imagined in the past few hours. In fact, compared with foreign countries, the domestic situation is already quite good. Like in the United States, various zero-dollar purchases and magazine-emptying programs are being staged on a large scale... However, Yang Yu is not a person who likes to compare himself with others. He doesn't want to care about what's happening abroad, he only cares about the situation at home. At this time.
"Bah!" The door of his office was pushed open. Yang Yu didn't like being interrupted when he was thinking, so he frowned immediately. When he looked up and saw who was coming, his unhappy expression immediately turned into surprise. The person who came was a middle-aged man, probably in his forties or fifties. He looked similar to Yang Yu, but was a little fatter than Yang Yu. Before Yang Yu could say anything, the middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Old Yang, take a look at this. It was sent from Aerospace City." Hearing the latest news from the Aerospace City, Yang Yu did not dare to neglect it and immediately took the document handed over by the other party. Because he knew that if something was transmitted from the Space City at this time, it must be related to the moon. When Yang Yu opened the file, he found only one photo in it. When he saw the contents of the photo clearly, his pupils shrank. In the photo, many glowing English letters appeared on the mysterious magic circle on the moon, which seemed to form a sentence when connected together. Yang Yu is proficient in many languages, so he certainly knows what the English sentence in the photo means: 【We have no ill intentions! 】 "When was this photo taken?" Yang Yu asked quickly. "Just now! About a few minutes ago, after the Space City took the photo, it was immediately sent to the Moon Palace Research Institute. I knew you must not have left yet, so I rushed over with the photo." The middle-aged man smiled and told what happened, then excitedly said: "The aliens really responded, which shows that our previous speculation was correct." Yang Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to have a response! I was just worried about no response." The lack of any response means that alien civilization does not care about humanity’s “death struggle” at all! This is the most desperate outcome for humanity. The middle-aged man nodded upon hearing this, and then asked, "Old Yang, how credible do you think the aliens' words are?" "Seventy percent!" Yang Yu smiled.
"Oh? Why is it so high?" asked the middle-aged man. Yang Yu explained: "Because even if the alien civilization does not respond, we have no way to deal with them. If they come with malicious intent, they can do whatever they want and ignore us." When the middle-aged man heard this, he felt that it was indeed true. "What is the cannon on the moon used for? Why is it aimed at the blue planet? What are the aliens planning to do?" Hearing this question, Yang Yu thought about it and expressed his opinion: "There are several possibilities. Maybe it's just a defensive measure, or a deterrent. However, I personally think that the cannon may not be a weapon!" "Oh? What do you mean?" The last sentence surprised the middle-aged man. Yang Yu said: "Look, the No. 2 building built by the alien civilization before is an offensive weapon. If you only look at the appearance, who would have thought that the tower-shaped building would actually be an energy weapon? In other words, their technology is beyond our understanding, and the carrier of the weapon may not necessarily conform to our inherent impression." "As for why the cannon is pointed at the Blue Planet, I don't know what the aliens' intentions are. I'm afraid no one can guess what they are going to do before they take action." After listening to this, the middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and praised: "Old Yang, your idea is very good! It provides us with new ideas." At this time, Yang Yu gave a serious reminder: "Old Li, you really need to change the direction of your research on alien civilizations. Some extreme ideas must not appear." Old Li nodded and said, "I understand. With this response, it can at least prove that alien civilizations have actually been paying attention to us, and may even be monitoring us in secret. The remarks made by some comrades are indeed inappropriate." Seeing that Old Li understood it clearly, Yang Yu naturally said no more. He is not Lao Li's boss, so he needs to know when to stop and be tactful when speaking. "Has the news been reported?" "It has been delivered as soon as possible." Lao Li said something, and then as if he thought of something, he frowned and said, "By the way, I heard that those people in the Eagle Sauce are very excited now! They think that since the aliens use English to respond to everyone, it means that they recognize their culture very much..." "Old Yang, will this be detrimental to our future work?" Yang Yu also frowned when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said, "It's just a way of responding. It doesn't mean anything. We must not lose our composure and just wait and see." Old Li nodded, and seeing Yang Yu's tired face, he immediately said: "Old Yang, it's getting late, I'm going to go home first, you should also go back and rest early! You should be able to sleep well tonight." …… Regarding Yang Yu’s speculation. In fact, this is also the view of the vast majority of human elites. If the aliens have malicious intentions, there is no need to respond. On the contrary, the more chaotic the blue planet is, the more beneficial it is for the aliens. Zhao Zheng’s previous guess was correct. The declaration of war by multiple countries was actually a test of the aliens’ attitude. After receiving the response from the alien civilization, countless human elites breathed a sigh of relief. Although we still don’t know what the aliens’ real goal is, we can be sure of one thing: at least alien civilizations need living humans. Judging from this, Blue Planet should be safe for the time being. and so.
When Zhao Zheng woke up the next morning, he found that the direction of public opinion on the Internet had completely changed. First up is Eagle Sauce! It is probably because the zero-dollar purchases there are too popular and have seriously affected the country's operation and social order, forcing the politicians in the United States to jump out as soon as possible and announce that everything is just a misunderstanding and tell everyone not to panic. The tougher the attitude was when declaring war, the more severe the slap in the face will be now! Zhao Zheng checked the news and found out that the Eagle Sauce's reversal of his declaration of war happened at around 11 o'clock last night. In other words, less than two hours after he sent that message to the moon, the Eagle Sauce "went back on its word" and said that there would be no war! of course. But what the Eagle Sauce family said is definitely not convincing enough. After all, in order to send a message to the alien civilization on the moon, many countries united and created such a huge battle that countless ordinary people took it seriously... Therefore, other countries followed suit, going back on their words one after another and announcing that everything would return to the way it was before. As for the Yan State, there was no extreme action. It just deleted the message that a certain war zone had posted on Weibo, and at the same time suspended the plan of "return of veterans". …… See these news. There were only two words Zhao Zheng wanted to say: Haha! Nothing was beyond his expectations. "It seems that even if I did nothing last night, those big guys would only hold out for one night at most. They would not be able to bear the pressure and would choose to change their words. After all, the chaos abroad is about to break out." Although he thought so, Zhao Zheng did not regret his response. He was never an enemy of humanity, so there would be nothing wrong in letting the human leaders know this as early as possible. Just when Zhao Zheng was about to go out for breakfast. A message suddenly popped up on his old phone: Magic radiation cannon, fully charged... (End of this chapter)
