Chapter 324 The Shock of Alliance Members

"I didn't expect that our operation this time not only did not solve the problem of Pluto, but also increased the impact time so much. I really don't know whether this is luck or misfortune." Calculated the latest time, said this in a low voice like talking to himself, with a slightly complicated expression.

From a certain point of view, if this impact mission is not carried out, then human civilization will still have at least one year left.

You can also be more prepared.

It's not like the morale is frustrated now, and the time is so much earlier.

Xu Lei knew that Li Chengzhe said this because he was actually worried about the future of human civilization, and he didn't know what to do in the remaining half a year. After all, apart from the failure of the space kinetic energy weapon, even the heavy rail gun just now failed to play a significant role.

But now is definitely not the time to feel sorry for yourself.

The more time is pressed, the more we must act as soon as possible.

"You can't say that. Our original intention was to solve the Pluto crisis. No one expected this kind of thing to happen. The most important thing now is to get through this first." Xu Lei walked towards Li Chengzhe Beside him, he stretched out his right hand to rest on the opponent's shoulder like a good brother, trying to rekindle the confidence in Li Chengzhe's heart.

Failure is not scary.

The terrible thing is not being able to face failure.

It has been stagnant ever since.

really.

Li Chengzhe was shocked after hearing Xu Lei's words.

For some reason, Xu Lei's voice seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made a belief emerge from the bottom of his heart.

Human civilization will eventually win!

And this is only because human beings still have the existence of Xu Lei.

Under the circumstances, Li Chengzhe immediately nodded firmly and said: "With the dean here, I believe that human civilization can definitely prevent this catastrophe."

"What are we going to do next?" Then he took a deep breath and asked this question.

"It will take two months for the battleship to return, and I can't wait for this time." Xu Lei moved his eyes up unconsciously, thinking about the follow-up approach: "You can control the battleship to return normally, and I will use the virtual world to monitor the ship during this time." Command the earth and planets to make preparations for Pluto."

In order to ensure that the live broadcast can be started smoothly on Jupiter, the battleship sailed all the way and put a lot of quantum relay stations in space.

This is enough to guarantee that Xu Lei can connect to the virtual helmet.

What he needs to do most now is to convene a plenary meeting of alliance members as a member of the Human Security Alliance to formulate the best plan for destroying Pluto.

Because of time constraints, it has become unrealistic to think about manufacturing now.

Only by making full use of existing resources.

After saying these words, Xu Lei didn't dare to delay any further. He even wanted to return to his rest cabin, put on the virtual helmet equipped on the battleship, and enter the conference hall of the Virtual World Human Security Alliance.

But as soon as he took a step, Li Chengzhe behind him seemed to have thought of something, and quickly called him to stop.

"By the way, captain, I think the live broadcast room has become very chaotic. The future captain can't hold it down at all. Should we temporarily close it?"

Of course, Li Chengzhe didn't want to waste Xu Lei's time. The status of the main live broadcast room can intuitively reflect the current situation of Earth Star. If the time is not taken to guide the public to completely lose confidence, it will be quite detrimental to the next plan.

After all, in addition to solving this Pluto, there is also a crisis of extraterrestrial civilization.

Instead of the situation continuing to deteriorate, it is better to temporarily close the live broadcast room and announce to everyone after formulating a detailed action plan.

Minimize impact as much as possible.

Anyway, the impact mission against Pluto was over, and the two warships were on their way back, so it was only natural to shut down the live broadcast.

But when Xu Lei heard about this, he didn't quite agree with Li Chengzhe's suggestion.

With such an accident on Pluto, even they were so surprised, let alone the general public.

It's normal to want to vent after such a big emotional fluctuation.

Now that there is such a global live broadcast room open, at least everyone has a place to vent their emotions. No matter how chaotic the live broadcast room is, at least they are still under control.

If the live broadcast is turned off at this time.

Everyone has no place to talk about this matter, and maybe they will do something out of control.

That will only make things more confusing.

Right now, there is only half a year left before the arrival of Pluto. We must make full use of the remaining time to solve Pluto. But before that, we need to ensure social stability, as well as the strong cohesion and confidence of human beings around the world. .

He believes that he can do this with himself and the appeal of future technology.

So temporary confusion doesn't mean anything.

With his brain running quickly, Xu Lei only paused for two or three seconds, and then directly explained to Li Chengzhe: "Don't worry about the matter in the live broadcast room, everything will be discussed after I finish the Human Security Alliance Conference."

"I understand." Li Chengzhe nodded without hesitation.

Although his suggestion was ruthlessly rejected, Li Chengzhe didn't have any objections in his heart.

From the moment he decided to believe in Xu Lei and Future Technology, he regarded Xu Lei's words as an order that must not be violated.

As long as Xu Lei makes a decision, it must be correct and needs to be implemented with all his strength.

After all, if even he doubts Xu Lei's approach, how can he believe that the other party can solve the Pluto crisis half a year later and defeat the coveted extraterrestrial civilization.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Facts have proved that Li Chengzhe strictly carried out Xu Lei's order.

After Xu Lei left the core command and control cabin, he no longer took care of the live broadcast, and informed the captain of the Future to do the same, so that the battleship perspective of the Shenzhou was hung in the live broadcast room, except for the constant space or space.

It's downright boring.

But for the audience in the live broadcast room, their attention is obviously not on the live broadcast now.

They were talking about Pluto-related topics the whole time.

Try to find some clues from the live broadcast.

However, neither the official nor Future Technology has responded to this matter.

This made everyone feel uncomfortable. They really wanted to know the truth, but they could only wait patiently.

The only good thing is that the public doesn't believe the false information from the outside world at all, since there is no official account to post a post so far.

As time passed, his emotions calmed down.

They sat and waited for Xu Lei to come forward.

It can be expected that this will be a very important turning point.

If Xu Lei can explain the situation in detail and re-gather the public's cohesion, then the impact of the failure of the Pluto impact plan will definitely be completely eliminated.

But if the reply given in the end cannot satisfy the public, the emotions will spread out like a scourge in an instant.

lead to complete chaos in society.

It will be difficult to restore the public to the previous state.

What's more, at that time, we had to focus all our energy on Pluto, so we wouldn't have time to manage internal affairs.

Of course, for Xu Lei at this time, he still doesn't know these things for the time being.

After returning to his rest cabin, he directly took out the configured virtual helmet. After putting it on with a little clumsy movement, he immediately lay down on the bed and chose to activate it.

When Xu Lei was in the company before, he used the virtual cabin to attend the Human Security Alliance meeting or enter the virtual game.

I haven't touched a virtual helmet for a long time, so the operation is inevitably a bit rusty.

Fortunately, the effect of the virtual helmet was the same as that of the virtual cabin. As his vision suddenly went dark, Xu Lei noticed that he had arrived in the Human Security Alliance Virtual World Conference Hall when his sight appeared again.

And just sitting in his own parliamentary seat.

It was different from usual, this time because the meeting was held temporarily and urgently, although Xingtong was asked to send a message to each alliance member, the efficiency would always be slower.

In the end, Xu Lei was seated for 2 minutes before the second councilor appeared in the hall.

Faced with this situation, Xu Lei had no choice but to wait patiently.

Whoever made this meeting related to the Pluto crisis and extraterrestrial civilizations can't be explained simply by sending an announcement.

A joint resolution of the entire Human Security Alliance is required.

Fortunately, everyone has seen the strange changes of Pluto from the live broadcast, and they have been looking forward to this Human Security Alliance Conference with great worry in their hearts, so it didn't take long for more than 200 congressmen to arrive.

This kind of execution even surprised Xu Lei.

There are deviations from usual.

It can only be said that when the threat of death really comes, no one can keep calm anymore.

At least for those in high positions.

As the meeting officially started, Councilor Enoch, who was sitting on Xu Lei's right hand, couldn't hold back his curiosity first, and first asked about the situation of Pluto: "Mr Xu, I regret that the Pluto impact mission was not successful this time , but I would like to know what happened?"

Enoch successfully provoked the topic, and the other core councilors sitting next to him immediately started talking.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, Pluto has obviously been knocked out of its orbit, how could it be possible to escape Jupiter's gravity, isn't that unscientific?"

"Now because of this incident, the outside world has begun to show signs of chaos."

"Pluto got rid of Jupiter's gravity, will it still pose a threat to Earth?"

Since Xu Lei held this meeting through the virtual helmet for the first time, he did not intend to hide the matter of Pluto and extraterrestrial civilizations, because it is necessary to tell them the cruelest facts, so as to truly stimulate everyone's potential, and fight against Pluto and Pluto. The star and the extraterrestrial civilization launched a decisive battle.

When this idea gradually took shape in his mind, Xu Lei looked around at the crowd, and after a short pause, he said a fact that made everyone present turn pale.

"After Pluto got rid of Jupiter's gravity, we launched a detection study for the first time."

"It is finally determined that there is an antimatter power device inside Pluto with a technology that surpasses ours. It can be said that Pluto is a large-scale space kinetic energy weapon transformed by an unknown extraterrestrial civilization, and it has re-accelerated and orbited. , will reach the earth star and collide with the earth star in half a year."

Antimatter power plant?
Extraterrestrial civilization?

half a year?

As Xu Lei's voice fell, a lot of question marks suddenly appeared in the hearts of everyone present.

Although they considered that the failure of this operation might cause some troubles, they never expected that things would be so complicated that even extraterrestrial civilizations would appear.

My first reaction was to not believe it.

For this reason, Congressman Enoch did not hesitate at all, and directly questioned: "Rep. Xu, I think you should be clear about what you said. If the change of Pluto was really caused by an extraterrestrial civilization, then Please show me the evidence."

Both antimatter power devices and extraterrestrial civilizations are too far away for them.

Perhaps alien civilizations do exist in the vast Milky Way, but it is absolutely impossible to launch an invasion of the earth star right now.

And still take the way of asteroid impact.

Enoch's question naturally won the approval of many people.

Then they jointly asked Xu Lei to come up with conclusive evidence to prove it, otherwise such a big thing is really hard to believe, because to some extent it is much more serious than the original discovery of Pluto.

Xu Lei seized the time to hold this virtual meeting of the Human Security Alliance, just to take advantage of the last time to make arrangements.

To deal with Pluto half a year later.

If other members of the Human Security Alliance cannot be convinced, how will it be laid out.

Therefore, Xu Lei had already prepared the evidence in Enoch's mouth, and he did not forget to introduce it while transmitting the relevant information to everyone through the virtual helmet.

"This is the detection data obtained by the probe after finding an opportunity to get close to Pluto, which is enough to prove the existence of the antimatter power engine. Obviously, this technology has completely surpassed ours, which shows that the existence of Earth and stars in the Milky Way will no longer be a secret .”

"It is very likely that there are forces of extraterrestrial civilizations staring at us outside the solar system."

"And the time you see is the result of recalculating the flight speed of Pluto. Now we only have half a year left."

It can be said that almost at the moment when Xu Lei's voice fell, the entire virtual conference hall became silent in an instant. Everyone was carefully checking the report, and their faces gradually became serious and worried.

Data cannot be faked.

Because it's science.

Although they were reluctant to believe this fact, they had to admit that Xu Lei's guess was not wrong.

After all, if it weren't for the existence of a special power plant, the scene of Pluto breaking away from Jupiter's gravity would be unexplainable, and everyone saw it with their own eyes.

Originally, most of the members of the Human Security Alliance had full confidence in Xu Lei's space kinetic energy weapon impact plan, thinking that the Pluto crisis would definitely be resolved smoothly, but in the end the situation turned into this.

The key is that they are not optimistic about the other two-step plan.

In addition, the arrival time of Pluto was so much earlier, which really made people feel uneasy.

The most critical human civilization is likely to face the invasion of extraterrestrial civilizations. The combination of so many things makes people see no hope.

Faced with such a situation, the only choice right now is to rely on Xu Lei.

When everyone thought of this, their tone of voice changed significantly when they spoke again, and asked Xu Lei about the way to deal with this catastrophe.

Among them, Representative Yan Fang was the first to speak: "Mr. Xu, if things are really as stated in this report, Earth and Star only have half a year left, then what shall we do next?"

At this time, Xu Lei will definitely not be hiding it, and then he will start to talk about his plan.

"No matter what method is used, the Yas interstellar warship must be in service within half a year, concentrate all nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs in the world, deploy them near the orbit of Mars, and intercept and destroy Pluto."

"Above the earth and stars are divided into underground dormant bases according to their age groups to temporarily hibernate and hide."

"Until the crisis is all over."

Xu Lei's approach is intuitive but most useful.

First of all, the star warship can play a great advantage, and it will be easier to have one more star warship to deal with Pluto.

At present, the third interstellar warship Yas is being manufactured in the space shipyard, and it is hoped that it will be completed within half a year by piling up various resources to the extreme.

And because Pluto has passed Jupiter right now, the next target is Mars, the last line of defense of Earth.

At this time, it is obviously impossible to adopt the method of impact, not to mention that Pluto can rely on its own antimatter power device to adjust its flight attitude, so it can only use violent means to completely blow up Pluto.

A total of five planetary defense orbital guns are currently deployed in orbit around Mars.

Although it is easy to deal with the impact of some small meteorites, it may still be difficult to smash Pluto to a size that does not affect the ecological environment of the planet.

After all, the speed of Pluto is too fast.

In this case, the power of the explosion must be increased.

There are more than 1 hydrogen bombs and nuclear bombs stored in the world. If all of them are deployed on the orbit of Pluto, they will be able to completely smash Pluto with the planetary defense railgun attack.

Anyway, judging from the conclusions drawn last time, the antimatter power device inside Pluto will only correct when the flight attitude of Pluto deviates, and will not actively bypass obstacles in front, so it is convenient for deploying a large number of The H-bomb nuclear bomb provided the opportunity.

You must know that when the ten space kinetic energy weapons collided with Pluto, it shattered its surface a lot.

This shows that although Pluto has been transformed into a space kinetic energy weapon, its material is not very hard, and it is basically not much different from ordinary celestial bodies.

Relying on this kind of defense definitely cannot withstand the attacks of tens of thousands of nuclear bombs and heavy rail guns.

In addition, people temporarily enter the dormant base to sleep, even if fragments of Pluto hit the planet, it will not cause too many casualties, and the crisis can basically be overcome smoothly.

Of course, the number of biological hibernation chambers is limited.

According to the statistics from Xingtong, less than one billion biological hibernation chambers have been produced so far.

Doomed not to accommodate everyone.

Therefore, in order to preserve the fire of human civilization, young people can only be the main ones, and the rest of the elderly can only enter the air-raid shelter to escape.

This is also impossible.

However, Xu Lei is quite sure about his plan, which can basically shatter Pluto to a size that is not big enough to affect the planet Earth, so that even if he stays in the air-raid shelter for shelter, his life will not be in danger.

For the Human Security Alliance, no one else has a good solution.

So there was no objection to the new plan proposed by Xu Lei, and several members of the alliance with nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs immediately expressed that they would contribute all the nuclear bombs and hydrogen bombs.

However, since it would take two months for the Shenzhou Future to return to Earth, Xu Lei first asked them to prepare for the handover.

At that time, as long as the interstellar battleship returns, it will immediately transport the hydrogen bomb nuclear bomb through the warship and deploy it on the flight path of Pluto near the orbit of Mars.

But at this time, something rather embarrassing happened.

Because the overseas regions did not pay much attention to the construction of underground dormancy bases, the number of biological dormancy chambers they were allocated was very small.

Of the one billion biological hibernation chambers, seven or eight billion are in Yanfang's area.

Now that Pluto is about to collide, everyone knows that the biological hibernation cabin is a life-saving thing, so they want to fight for more for themselves.

In the end, Senator Enoch couldn't bear to mention it.

"Mr. Xu."

"The number of biological hibernation chambers we have is really scarce. I wonder if your company can deploy more?"

Xu Lei had long expected that someone would talk about the dormant cabin. Seeing that it was Enoch who brought it up first, the corners of his mouth slightly raised a meaningful smile, and he replied directly: "Mr. Enoch, I think you should know The production capacity of the biological hibernation chamber, now that the time of Pluto is so much earlier, I am afraid it will be difficult to deploy it for a while."

While tactfully rejecting the other party, he also did not forget to appease him.

"But you don't have to worry too much. I believe that as long as the plan is successfully completed, the public only needs to take shelter temporarily in the air-raid shelter."

"Yes, Senator Enoch, the biological hibernation chamber you have allocated is more than enough for the underground hibernation base." After hearing Xu Lei's answer, the representative of Yanfang also took the words and responded with a smile.

Enoch's face turned red when he heard these two sentences, and he wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.

After all, as Yanfang representative said, they didn't build many underground dormant bases at all in order to save resources.

Even if enough biological hibernation chambers are allocated, there is no place to put them.

There were quite a few people who originally had the same thoughts as Enoch, but seeing Enoch being so deflated, they had no choice but to keep these words in their hearts.

It's no use regretting it now.

I can only pray that things are as Xu Lei said, and the people only need to take shelter in air-raid shelters.

The virtual meeting of the Human Security Alliance has come to an end, and Xu Lei has made arrangements for the layout.

Just be patient and wait for Pluto.

At the end of the meeting, though, the issue of public sentiment was brought up again.

Discuss whether to reveal the truth to the public.

After all, when Pluto first changed, in order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the Human Security Alliance did not rush off to explain to the public, which made the whole world still waiting for the truth of the matter.

After Xu Lei learned about this incident, he hesitated for a while and finally decided to let him report the mission to all mankind.

First try to calm the public sentiment as much as possible, and regain confidence in fighting against Pluto.

As for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, considering the overall situation, Xu Lei believes that there should be selective explanations.

To avoid the complete collapse of the public's heart.

Because in any case, compared with Pluto, which is a dead thing, the existence of extraterrestrial civilization, which sounds out of reach, is the most frightening.

When the crisis on Pluto is completely resolved, it will not be too late to formulate a plan to deal with extraterrestrial civilizations.
