Chapter 90 Ripples

Since there are too many "significant discoveries" made by NASA about "Shock! This asteroid actually...", the news two years ago did not cause too much splash.

In addition, for a long period of time, only people in the southern hemisphere and low latitude areas of the northern hemisphere can observe "Ogun", and the population density and per capita income of the southern hemisphere are far lower than those of the northern hemisphere, so even astronomy enthusiasts There are not many people discussing this matter in the circle.

"Because of its too irregular shape, NASA really became interested in it." David Klein continued: "NASA believes that its shape is very confusing and does not seem to be naturally formed. Therefore, on 26 In June of [-], the SPHERE (High Resolution Spectropolarimetric Exoplanet Searcher) of the European Southern Observatory's VLT (Very Large Telescope) was aimed at this region and obtained the first clear images of 'Ogun'."

On that photo, the appearance of "Ogun" became clearly visible.

It looked like a piece of casting after wear and rust.Yes, it should have started out as a silver finish.However, under the friction of interstellar matter, cosmic dust, and the collision of various tiny celestial bodies, its surface is gradually worn away.

Like a metal surface polished by emery.

Xiang Shan swallowed his saliva.He did hear himself swallowing.

No one was surprised when some kind of reflection was first observed on the surface of Ogun.Reflective objects such as ice crystals on small celestial bodies are too common.

But now, no one can deny that it is a personal creation.

"Ogun" is an artifact.

Humans have discovered an artifact that was not made by humans themselves.

Xiang Shan heard a lot of swallowing of saliva.

Klein paused for about a minute, as if waiting for everyone to digest the news.

Then, he continued: "Because the high-level officials decided that the news of 'human beings' discovery of alien civilization' would have an unpredictable impact on society. Therefore, they did not make it public at the first time, but secretly formed a special committee. We can handle this matter in the safest way."

"At the same time, everyone also noticed one thing. 'Ogun' is currently without power. It relies on inertia and has been flying in space for an unknown amount of time. NASA believes that even if Ogun is an alien spacecraft, it has Maybe for some reason, it ran out of fuel, or it crashed."

"In July of the same year, the United States urgently established a space force. This was once considered a signal for the restart of the arms race in the international community. At the same time, NASA also launched a large number of Ogun-related projects."

"NASA's missions at the time included 'establishing contact with Ogun' and 'capturing Ogun'. But 'Ogun' did not respond to electromagnetic waves in almost all frequency bands, nor did it actively emit any electromagnetic waves."

"The following year—that is, January 27, NASA believed that 'Ogun' had entered the limit of human spaceflight technology, so it launched the SLS-9 rocket in advance, and prepared to send the capture system to 'Ogun'. ' at."

"And it was at this stage that the Russians got involved in 'Ogun'-related incidents—after they got the news, they blamed the United States for thinking of an attempt to monopolize 'Ogun' and tried to interfere with NASA's capture plan."

"The United States and the Russian Federation have been in a frivolous struggle for quite some time. The Republic also got involved a few months ago. Due to some geopolitical ties, NASA's captors did not send 'Ogun' to North Korea. Atlantic, but here."

"You can see the following conflicts in the news, so I won't go into details. All in all, after a series of complicated things, the UNOPS has urgently become the 'Rama Special Project'—— By the way, the name is taken from Sir Arthur Clarke's Meet Rama."

The next thing David Klein said probably refers to...

The South China Sea Fleet and the Seventh Fleet faced off nearby.The Northern Russian Federation is also making a high-profile entry.

Although "Ogun" has not been opened yet, it has profoundly changed the situation of the world.

Xiang Shan frowned slightly at this time.

"The Indonesian riots...was it premeditated?"

After the financial crisis in 2021, the country of Indonesia has fallen into a new round of turbulence, even worse than the financial crisis in the 90s.Xiang Shan vaguely remembered that there was indeed news last month... Or did his parents talk about it during dinner?Talk about Indonesia.

There are also reports of rebels killing civilians.

But now it seems that the riots in Indonesia have given the United Nations an excuse to send peacekeeping troops.

This inevitably makes people wonder whether there is a shadow of a big country behind this riot.

At the same time, Xiang Shan also realized the weirdness of the welcome team at the airport.

That is not "a peacekeeping force" at all, but a military force that monitors each other.

Perhaps the turmoil in Indonesia not far away is real, and there are real peacekeeping forces.But the group that appeared at the airport was not a peacekeeping force sent by a certain country.

Although the peacekeeping force has always been criticized, its members are complex, the management system is cumbersome, its strength is weak, and its response capacity is insufficient. It is difficult to stop some sudden situations and humanitarian disasters in a timely manner, but it will never be within a small team. It shows mutual vigilance and estrangement.

It's like the performance of the South China Sea Fleet and the Seventh Fleet outside.This "defense force" is not defending anything at all.They're just "watching each other out".

This is basically a temporary organization of several big countries, and then put the security forces in it under the name of the peacekeeping force.

In addition, since the Republic entered the scene late in this event, they did not have much time to form a team of scientists.They need to screen out scholars from across the country who are "possibly useful", and then ensure that these scholars are "absolutely credible and will not leak information at will."

It was precisely because of this that Xiang Shan joined this super big project just at Liu Zhenghui's request.

At this point, the car has driven into a brand new park.The area around the park is guarded by soldiers wearing blue steel helmets and is heavily guarded.Inside the wall is a huge turf.Many construction machines are moving fast.At the same time, several simple but magnificent buildings have been erected.

On the edge of the lawn is a row of trees.Behind the woodland composed of tropical trees, there is a huge white building - it looks like several tents connected together, which is quite a bit like the Sydney Opera House.

According to David Klein's introduction, the material that constitutes this "building" was originally a "parachute" that allowed "Ogun" to land and fix it.

"Ogun" is a kilometer long, with a maximum radius of nearly [-] meters, and can weigh hundreds of thousands of tons.With such a terrifying mass, if it is allowed to fall freely, it will be called a natural disaster—the most important thing is that it itself cannot withstand such a terrible impact.

Therefore, humans managed to add dozens of huge parachutes to this thing.The fixed ropes of these parachutes are the strongest carbon fiber, which comes from the Academy of Engineering of the Republic, and is a technology developed with the goal of "space elevators".It is said that these outputs were piled up by the laboratory regardless of the cost.

Most of the parachute fabrics come from the United States.

NASA tried every means to limit the landing site of "Ogun" to shallow sea areas.

This can not only buffer the falling force to the greatest extent, but also prevent such a huge object from falling into the sea and cannot be recovered.

It is said that steam and heavy rain covered the area the night "Ogun" fell.Even Indonesians in the distance can hear the roar of this giant beast.

A small number of parachutes fell off when Ogun fell, but most are still there.Therefore, the "Rama Special Project" committee urgently established under the United Nations Development Program used the materials of these parachutes to build this "tent"-like building to prevent unrelated personnel from prying.

And this park is the working area of ​​"Rama Special Project".

After arriving at the park, David Klein left immediately and returned to his original work.And other staff members guide many scholars of the Republic to register.

Since the park is still in the construction stage, scholars can only live in temporary dormitories.According to the staff of the United Nations, the large apartments prepared for them are also under construction and are expected to be ready for occupancy next month.In addition, the database and conference center will also be completed within a few days.

Every scholar was given a key.

After completing the registration, they officially become a member of the United Nations "Special Rama Program".

After that, Officer Xiao Hu appeared once.He gathered the scholars together, re-emphasized the discipline of confidentiality, and especially emphasized that before obtaining approval, scholars are not allowed to communicate with the outside world at will.

Since the countries were still negotiating on the ownership of "Ogun" a few days ago, the shelf of the "Rama Special Project" has not yet been set up, so the project team cannot assign jobs to scholars in a short period of time.At least for the rest of today, scholars can move freely in the project park.

"Big guys can have more exchanges and make more friends with foreign counterparts." Officer Xiao Hu said with a smile: "This may not be a short-term project. In the project area, everyone should carry forward the spirit of the Republic of 'Equality, Mutual Benefit, and Peaceful Coexistence' , together with colleagues from all over the world, unravel the secret of 'Ogun' and contribute to the development of human science!"
