Galaxy Domination Guide

Chapter 4 Awareness
At the same moment, NASA headquarters.

White Molson, the potbellied director of operations, is huddled behind his desk with a tablet, engrossed in a video.This video is so moving that Molson is sitting upright, looking tense, and even squeamish. He didn't turn up the volume, so the full-screen brain fills in the sound of the picture.However, this does not prevent him from watching this wonderful video.

That is not a top-secret image sent back by NASA astronauts on a space walk, or a Mars rover, but just a video pushed on the homepage of the largest adult video website in the United States.

Molson, who was born as a bureaucrat, does not understand the advanced technologies in NASA, nor is he interested in rockets or aircraft. career is very helpful.

Known as the most "democratic" country on the planet, not only is the national leader not directly elected, but even thousands of key positions from the federal government to the state government have nothing to do with democracy. Each government has to appoint thousands or even Tens of thousands of government affairs officer positions.These so-called political officials do not need to pass any examinations similar to civil service examinations, and can be as high as the cabinet minister (need to be passed by the Senate), even though most of them may have no political experience, let alone professional knowledge in the industry.Merson is such a political officer. After his term ends, he may be wooed by the newly elected government to stay in office or even promoted, or he may be hired as a consultant by some private company based on his management experience in NASA.At least he could publish a book, or become a successful speaker or something.Anyway, in the United States and other Western countries, such titled speakers are in great demand, and the prices are quite favorable, earning much more than those practical people with special skills and outstanding abilities.

While Molson was staring intently at the tablet screen, his office door was suddenly pushed open.Molson's chief scientist, Bowie, a quarter-Indian astronomer, broke in.

Mersen was in a hurry and locked the screen of the tablet in his hand in a panic. He couldn't help but rejoice that he didn't turn up the volume, otherwise he would make a big embarrassment in front of his subordinates.

Molson was very angry, staring at Bowie in front of him and said, "You guy, don't you know how to knock on the door before entering? If this is about deleting items again, I can tell you that it is useless for you to find me , Now that the whole of the United States is cutting budgets, it is lucky that NASA can withstand layoffs, and those old dogs in the labor union dare not speak out, NASA has no money to invest in projects that do not see any return!"

Bowie was not overwhelmed by Merson's barrage of questions, he waved the document in his hand, his face was full of mixed expressions of excitement and worry, and said loudly: "Director Merson, I'm not here to discuss with you Those things, something big happened, this time it's really big!"

Without hesitation, he directly took a few photos in his hand on Merson's desk, pointed to the photos and said, "This is a photo taken by our solar observation satellite an hour ago."

Molson glanced at the photo and said disdainfully, "Why show me the sun?"

Bowie was already used to Merson's idiocy. He opened the first photo to reveal the second one below, and continued: "The images of the sun we took with SDO were all filtered through a light reduction filter. , otherwise nothing can be seen in the photographed things. But the ND filter sometimes makes some other things ignore, as we have discovered now."

Molson saw a second photo, a photo that had been manipulated so that something seemed to be on the side of the sun.

"Our observers thought they saw something, and then pointed the lens at this place, and then zoomed in."

When the third photo was shown in front of Merson, he was completely shocked.

"My God, what the hell are you showing me?! Are you playing a joke?"

Bowie shook his head seriously and said, "I'm not so bored, sir. It's my job to investigate extraterrestrial civilizations and intelligent creatures, and I won't make fun of my job. This is an alien team. Starfleet, and it's pretty massive."

Molson realized the seriousness of the problem. He pointed to the photo in front of him and tried to calm his expression, but he couldn't help the corners of his mouth twitching, "Can you confirm the authenticity of the photo?"

Bowie nodded and said: "Yes, we have mobilized different means to investigate and observe the alien fleet in orbit around the sun. If necessary, we can also make cross-comparisons with our counterparts in Europe and Japan, even if we ask the Russians And the Chinese can do it too. But I believe their conclusions will be similar—our solar system has been visited by an alien civilization.”

Merson was restless. He spent nearly half a minute digesting the information, then stared at Bowie and asked, "Can you confirm their purpose? Can you get anything useful by analyzing their spaceship?"

Bowie said: "For the time being, we don't know the purpose of this alien fleet, and whether they have communicated with the earth, at least we have not received any form of communication. However, my researchers analyzed the appearance of those spaceships, It is a pity to conclude that all but the most gigantic ship should have been used for war purposes."

Molson accidentally dropped the tablet in his hand on the ground, but he didn't pick it up at all. "What did you say? Are those spaceships interstellar battleships? Have they discovered that intelligent life exists on Earth?"

Bowie smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Those things are too similar to the interstellar warships that appear in our sci-fi works. Some structural designs are obviously designed to adapt to war conflicts. As for the question of whether our earth has been exposed?" , even if the other party has not discovered us earthlings now, I believe they will know in a short time."

Molson's tension level jumped to the maximum, "Are these aliens here to invade the earth?"

Bowie was a little helpless: "How would I know, these should be considered by the White House."

Molson reacted, immediately grabbed the confidential line phone, and said: "Yes, we must report it immediately, let the Pentagon come up with a defense plan, contact all allies, we can defeat the alien invaders, right, in our movies That's how it plays out."

Bowie looked at the flustered Merson, but his heart was cold.Who would watch a Hollywood movie in which earthlings lose to aliens?The reality is true, an alien fleet that has traveled to the solar system does not know how many light years, the technology does not know how many times more advanced than the earth, facing such an enemy, the earth people can really be like "Independence Day" or "Battle of Los Angeles" Do you want to defeat the enemy and defend your homeland as in the game?
With Merson in a frenzy, news of a mysterious Starfleet visit to the solar system reached the White House and the Pentagon.In Europe, Russia, China and other aerospace powers, the same news has also begun to spread.There is a limit to this kind of spread, and all government departments have kept their teeth shut, and no word has been leaked.

No one knows what will be waiting for them.
