Chapter 461 The Eve of Trial

A hemispherical cloud cover stood on the sea, and people near the Los Angeles beach could see it.

What a strange scene it was. The waves hit the edge of the cloud cover, just like hitting the corner of the cliff by the sea, which meant that it was not a cloud, but a rigid one!

The Canadian fleet was nearby, rushing to the scene at full speed, surrounding the cloud cover.

The scene in front of us was like the energy barrier in a science fiction movie, but there was no sense of science fiction at all. Its image was a rolling white cloud.

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

Wallace carefully observed the cloud cover and ordered the drone to approach.

A large number of drones were sent out, and they circled the cloud cover to look for possible gaps, but there were none.

Not only was the sea surface completely covered, but also the bottom of the water, including part of the seabed mud. The entire cloud cover was a sphere, which penetrated the air, sea water, mud and rocks, but isolated the inside and outside.

The drones collided with it and were completely unable to advance. A small drone even knocked off one of its engines because of its high speed and fell into the sea.

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

"Has it taken root here?"

"Don't let those stupid reporters get close to here!"

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

At this point, what luck is there? This is simply not a product of the earth.

There is only one explanation for extraterrestrial civilization.

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

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

Humans have never discovered extraterrestrial life, and the rumors that have always been there are nothing but people's vain imaginations.

When their carrier rockets sent space shuttles to Mars many times and surveyed the rock formations there, it was basically confirmed that there was no life on Mars.

There is water there, and it was even rich in oxygen, but there is no sign of life.

It is precisely because there is no life to transform the planetary environment like a diligent porter that the water on Mars quickly disappeared, leaving only the deep ice lakes, and oxygen has long dyed the iron-rich soil red. Even if Mars once had water and oxygen, it has become the desolate scene it is today.

The study of Mars has led to 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 it is rare in the Milky Way.

And today, this fluke has been broken, and they are not alone.

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

Communication? The other party ignored it.

Violence? Dare not, how to break through the cloud cover? And how to face the consequences of using violence?

If it leads to unbearable consequences, the whole earth civilization will be unlucky. Who can take this responsibility?

The black ball fell from the outer atmosphere at a high speed, and the friction with the air during the period did not bring any changes to it, not even heating.

It can be imagined that the black ball that appeared out of thin air near the earth has technology that humans cannot reach.

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

They either drive the battleship with stone and wooden spears, or worship 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 tycoons can't come up with any ideas at all. In events that concern all mankind, they are just some tycoons. There are many powerful countries and even superpowers on the earth. How can they come up with a charter?

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

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

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

"...In summary, we cannot resort to force no matter what. We must exercise restraint, restraint, restraint, and restraint again!" After a physicist talked about the super technology that the other party might have, he emphasized that human civilization currently has no chance of winning in a military confrontation.

The sudden appearance of suspected jumps and the invisible technology at the dark matter level, no matter which one, are beyond human imagination.

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

An astronomer from China said: "Although we don't know whether there are any rules in the universe, we can learn something from the other party's behavior, 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: "So far, we have had first-class contact and second-class contact with the black ball. That is, we have witnessed and touched the things they affect at close range."

"However, the third-class contact was rejected. The cloud 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 that do not want to contact us directly."

Everyone nodded. This was obvious. If they were willing to have the third type of contact with them, they wouldn't have created such a barrier.

The astronomer continued: "The fourth type of contact where humans use friendly messages to contact extraterrestrial civilizations has also been ignored. It can be said that people are unwilling to contact or communicate."

Everyone frowned. It was indeed the case, but this conclusion was too uncomfortable. There was no contact or communication. So what was 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 attack in the next second."

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

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

"But even though they clearly didn't bother to slow down, they made orbit adjustments in the atmosphere! I have studied the black ball's path data in detail. If the black ball does not adjust its orbit, it will fall into the center of Los Angeles. There will be countless casualties.”

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

Everyone immediately rechecked the data and quickly determined that the black ball did indeed avoid hitting Los Angeles.

If it had hit Los Angeles at that time, I am afraid the disaster would have radiated to an entire area.

"It didn't bother to slow down, but deliberately avoided our densely populated area, 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 anyone, why did it hit that one? They could have deviated further and fallen into the uninhabited sea."

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

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

"The moment of ignorance may be waiting for something. For us, this indifference and calmness may be the eve of judgment..."

His meaning is very simple. Black Ball's behavior is very similar to that of arriving in a place for the first time. He first surrounds himself to protect himself, then slowly collects information, and then decides how to deal with the situation on the earth.

They refuse all substantive contact and expression before they have a comprehensive understanding of the earth.

I will neither hit you nor pay attention to you. I will wait until I find out who you are...

"Perhaps, others are quietly observing us. And we just have to show the best side of human beings. It is war or peace, and the initiative lies in the other party's hands."

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