Chapter 3065
At eight o'clock, the deputy director struggled to get up from the bed. He held his forehead and shook his numb arms vigorously.
The two young bodies on the bed made him very relaxed last night!
They flattered him almost without any bottom line and shame. This was something the deputy director had never enjoyed before, and he dared not hope for.
But for him now, this is a daily life.
As the first head of the cosmic observation department, he holds a lot of power in his hands. He can directly decide the work and life of thousands of people, and can indirectly dominate the work and life of tens of thousands of people or even more.
So there will always be people who want to take shortcuts, or want him to avoid himself when he has to make a choice, so as to pay something.
It's nothing more than the exchange of body fluids, which is exactly the cheapest for today's society.
Some old-fashioned people always think that chastity is important, but in the young group, sex, and doing this, has become a social behavior, a means, and a way.
The attitude of young people towards sex is like the hypocritical handshake between adults-when holding, people can feel each other's heat, but once they let go, they will separate without any nostalgia.
He is adapting to this kind of life.
Glancing at his watch, he went into the bathroom and took a shower. When he returned to the bed and put on his clothes, he took a few banknotes and put them on the bedside.
Electronic currency is very popular. It can be traded face to face, and there is no need to worry about being robbed or lost, so it is rapidly becoming popular.
However, physical currency has not withdrawn from the market because of this. There are always some old guys who have a special liking for physical currency.
The deputy director returned to the office and began to carry out various tasks routinely. His current main work has three aspects.
First, continue to study the black hole itself and its impact on the solar system.
Second, continue to study the new cosmic environment around the solar system.
Third, observe whether there is anything entering the solar system and give timely warnings.
These tasks seem to be very important in general, but to say how important they are... In fact, it is not entirely true.
Most of the time he spends observing the starry sky, or in a daze. Of course, he works very hard, but this kind of work will not produce any results immediately.
As usual, he opened the operation interface of the space telescope, observed the monitoring data, found some special nodes, and observed for a while.
They were all very common images, such as a celestial body blocking a distant star during operation, resulting in obvious changes in light sources and triggering warning prompts.
This kind of thing happens every day, and it was frightening at first, but now I'm used to it.
Drinking good coffee, humming a little tune, and observing the vast universe, this kind of life is great!
The constantly switching images made him feel very relaxed, until a photo that appeared last night was enlarged, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
Soon several astronomers came to his office. As the most authoritative astronomer in the world, the deputy director is actually not the most powerful in the astronomical academic community.
He was just lucky and was the first to mention something to Lynch, so he got this job and managed this industry.
In this field, many people are actually not convinced by him, but fortunately they all work for the company. Even if they think the deputy director is a clown like a jester, they still do their best when dealing with their work.
"Look at this, what does it look like?"
The deputy director called his colleagues together. After the photos were enlarged, they began to look like pixel art. On the edge of the photos, many narrow and long things like meteorites appeared.
But what is different from meteorites is that these things are all long and pointed in the same direction.
Because the picture is not particularly clear, it is difficult to analyze what it is.
Although the second-generation space telescope is much stronger than the first generation in technology, it is only a thing that can see farther, not more detailed things.
The astronomers discussed for a long time, and there seemed to be no better answer, so they applied for temporary use of the space telescope-
Because the work plan is fixed, the time and what the space telescope does every day are all determined.
If its direction is changed without authorization, it may cause some changes in subsequent work, so it is necessary to apply for changes to the subsequent work arrangements.
Even if the applicant is the deputy director, he must follow the process.
Two hours later, the second-generation space telescope pointed to the coordinates where the anomaly was observed. As astronomers held their breath and concentrated, new and clearer photos were constantly printed out.
"These things don't look like they were naturally generated. Their shapes are very unreasonable."
"Such narrow and long structures are easily broken by collisions in the universe, and they are very close to each other. Once there is a celestial body with strong gravity nearby, they will inevitably collide with each other."
"But it seems that there has been no collision between these things, or their materials are very tough, enough to support them without deformation or fragmentation after the collision."
Astronomers are all expressing their opinions. Many people support the view that "these things are not naturally occurring celestial bodies." The existence of aliens is no longer a secret, so no one will find it ridiculous if someone puts forward this view. .
The deputy director kept looking at the newly printed photos and couldn't help but ask a question, "If it is not a naturally occurring celestial body, then what is its target?"
He himself seemed to realize something because of these words, and his voice became a little sharp, "Calculate their orientation and orientation immediately. I need to know whether they will enter the solar system. In addition, follow-up observations are suspended. I need you to lock on these celestial bodies." , be sure to find out what they are!”
Then the deputy director chose a few clearer ones and left the office.
Twenty minutes later, he appeared in front of Lynch.
"We just had an important meeting, what would you like to drink?" Lynch asked the deputy director to sit down, and then called the secretary in.
"Just water..." The deputy director just sat down and stood up again. He sent the document bag in his hand to Lin Qi, "You should take a look at these."
Lynch opened the document bag and asked, "What's in this?"
The deputy director didn't say anything, and Lynch also realized the seriousness of the problem. After the secretary brought a glass of water, he asked the secretary to lock the door when he left.
Soon, several of the clearest photos of the universe and starry sky were placed on the table, with some areas circled with yellow markers.
After careful observation, Lynch found the problem, "These long strips look unnatural. What are they?"
The deputy director's lips moved, and he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.
After about a few seconds, he said, "I really want to say that I'm not sure what these things are. This is within my blind spot of knowledge. I hope I can look at these things optimistically."
"But... Mr. Lynch, I think they may be alien spacecraft, or probes or something like that."
"There may be one or two celestial bodies of this shape in the natural universe, but they will not appear in such dense groups. I am worried that they may bring disaster to us!"
Lynch scratched his head, "You gave me a difficult problem.", and then lit a cigarette, "If... they are alien spacecraft, how long will it take for them to reach the solar system, and how long will it take for them to reach the Earth? "
The deputy director did not answer immediately, "I have already asked people to make calculations. Now I just hope that their target is not us and they pass by here, but we must be prepared for the worst."
"From what I know about these things, in three years, maybe four years, they will arrive, if they are targeting us."
At this time, the deputy director's armband lit up. It can select work mode or private mode to decide whether it needs to ring when receiving a communication request.
It was a call from astronomers at the observatory. With the help of computers, they calculated the results.
According to the observed position changes from the fragments observed last night to now, their destination is most likely to be the solar system!
"What a terrible news!"
Lynch picked up the phone and said, "Ask Mr. A to come over."
He then looked at the deputy director, "This news needs to be kept secret for the time being. I don't want it to be spread."
The deputy director nodded and said nothing, but it was still a statement.
Lynch couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and walked back and forth a few steps before reaching the floor-to-ceiling window.
The daytime scenery of Boupen outside the window was still playing repeatedly. Although he was not standing on a skyscraper, this realistic simulation gave him the illusion that he was really still in Boupen.
After a while, he said to the deputy director without looking back, "Thank you for notifying me in time. You will continue to be responsible for the observation and notify me of any new developments."
The deputy director took the initiative to leave. Lin Qi stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and waited for a long time.
A few minutes later, Mr. A knocked on the door and walked in.
As a new director on the board of directors, and with great power in its hands, it is now enjoying a comfortable life and has become the backbone of the GTO interest group!
It will want to protect the interests of the group from being harmed more strongly than others. If the group is good, it is really good!
"Look at what's on my desk."
Mr. A was a little confused, but he still observed the photos according to Lynch's request. He didn't understand them very well.
It had no contact with related fields before becoming an Evolver. It may have seen advertisements when it was a child and longed to own an astronomical telescope, but after a harsh blow from the cruel reality, it completely gave up on this immature idea. idea.
When he was in seventh or eighth grade, that was the last time in his life that he became interested in astronomy.
Lynch threw the cigarette into the trash can, then turned to look at it, "Alien invaders may be coming..."
