The top-secret meeting of the Seven Nations continues to be held, and the atmosphere at the venue is depressing and dull...
The representatives looked at Liu Hanyang quietly. He sat down slowly with a serious expression.
The venue was silent, and the air seemed to be frozen. The representatives stood on the same spot like sculptures, with only the projector constantly changing the light and shadow...
A huge picture of the ice field appeared on the projection, but the venue was still silent, a helpless silence.
"Could it be that the gravity of a massive comet caused the moon to move away? For example, if the diameter exceeds 1,000 kilometers."
Someone finally spoke, and everyone looked at him. The person who asked the question was Miyazawa and his party.
Miyazawa and his party flashed their little eyes: "If it is really a comet, we can completely destroy it!"
Miyazawa's words caused a commotion, and a smile appeared on the face of the military representative. It was a confident smile...
Indeed, if it is really a comet, with the current technology of the earth, it can be completely destroyed or its orbit can be changed. It can be said that the chance of winning is very high.
"However, we found nothing near the moon's orbit." The person in charge of Sky Dome spread his hands and said.
The smiles on the faces of the military representatives disappeared, and the only glimmer of light was swallowed up by darkness.
The eyes of Li Jianfeng and Li Mosen converged on Sir Ekes Burton at almost the same moment.
Soon, everyone's eyes were cast on him in turn. At this moment, Burton seemed to be the savior.
Their eyes are hot and intense, shining with a light of hope to save the earth.
Apparently, Burton understood their looks. Unexpectedly, he did not have the arrogance they expected, but a reserved expression.
He thoughtfully took out a pill from his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, then called to his assistant, Ms. Rice, who slapped him hard on the back, and the pill was quickly swallowed into his stomach.
Everyone understands that this is a medicine to prevent heart disease, and his next speech may be very exciting.
"Gentlemen, let me tell you clearly that there is nothing in the orbit of the moon."
The hopeful eyes of the representatives froze for an instant. Burton's words completely extinguished their remaining hope, and a trace of deep anxiety and panic appeared on their faces...
Burton ignored everyone's expressions. He pointed at Miyazawa and his party, and then continued: "If it is a massive comet as this gentleman said, then observatories around the world will observe it, even if it is a massive comet." Or rogue planets ejected by black holes, no matter which angle they break into the solar system from the ecliptic plane, the gravitational disturbance will be very obvious and can be detected..."
"Wait, what did you just say? Black hole?" Francois waved his arms, "You want to say that there is a black hole in the moon's orbit?"
"You are an expert on black holes, and this cannot be hidden from your eyes." Charlie Wellington added.
"If it were a black hole and it was in lunar orbit, we would not meet today. The tidal force of small black holes would tear us into pieces, and large black holes would swallow up the entire solar system."
"Sir Burton, please finish what you just said." Li Jianfeng reminded.
"Where did I just say? Oh, by the way, whether it is a massive comet or a rogue planet ejected by a black hole, the gravitational disturbance will be very obvious and can be detected. But so far, from the orbit of a power star to In the orbit of Mercury, gravitational disturbances are basically non-existent.”
"Basically?" the military representatives almost said in unison.
"Yes, basically! Except for a slight gravitational disturbance near the orbit of Venus, which caused a slight tilt in its rotation angle and a brief tidal surge in the atmosphere, nothing happened. The strange thing is that this phenomenon is very It returned to normal soon."
"This is very strange! As long as an asteroid with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers appears near the planet's orbit, there will be observable gravitational disturbances." Liu Hanyang said.
"Yes, Doctor. But there is nothing... near the orbit of Venus," Burton replied.
"If it is a massive celestial body, our ground telescopes can easily capture it."
"Yes, doctor. But, really... nothing." Burton tilted his neck again, with a "gloating" expression.
"This is very contradictory, simply unbelievable!" Liu Hanyang lowered his head, as if thinking about something... Suddenly, he raised his head, "Unless...unless it has the ability to control gravity."
Burton was about to answer when Li Mosen interrupted: "Could it be an antimatter cloud?"
"If it were such a massive antimatter cloud, annihilation would have occurred, but nothing happened." Burton tilted his neck in the opposite direction.
"Perhaps this huge energy annihilation cannot be detected with our current technology," Snart said.
"When matter and antimatter meet, complete matter-energy conversion will occur, producing a large number of energy forms such as photons and radiation, so it will definitely be observed by us."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion at Burton's answer. Although they tried to ask the next question through communication, there were no more questions in their minds.
"I personally agree with the question raised by Dr. Liu Hanyang just now." Burton continued after looking around, "This object should have the ability to control gravity. To be precise, it should be a machine controlled by intelligent life. A starship or probe that we cannot detect."
"If it is really an interstellar spacecraft controlled by extraterrestrial intelligent life, since Venus's rotation axis and atmosphere have been gravitational disturbances, then it must have broken into the solar system from the orbit of Venus, and then activated its counterattack in order not to be detected. Gravity device." Liu Hanyang said.
Burton nodded.
"But how do you explain the distance of the moon?" Li Mosen asked in surprise.
"What if it was intentional? What if its goal was to kill all humans!?" Lieutenant General Li Jianfeng said.
Everyone suddenly realized that the joy of finding out the truth and the cruel reality made their faces become solemn, and the venue fell into deathly silence.
"There is no doubt now that it is this object that disrupts the gravitational balance between the earth and the moon." Burton glanced at the frustrated people and continued, "But it cannot be detected by us, and we don't know what it is. What? Where did it come from? What on earth is it going to do? All of this is a mystery to us."
Everyone in the venue stared at Burton intently. Responding to his series of rhetorical questions, it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as dumbfounded. This was the most amazing thing they had ever heard.
But the magic is still behind.
"How big is this object?" Heydrich's mouth was half-opened, with a surprised expression on his face.
"To be able to capture a celestial body as big as the moon, its size is either several times the size of the earth, or it is only the size of a building, but its mass must be very huge. I have calculated that it was captured at the speed of the moon at 2 meters per second. , its mass should be about 5 times that of the Earth."
"Similar to the mass of four Venus!" Li Mosen exclaimed.
The venue immediately fell silent, so quiet that the delegates seemed to smell a hint of despair and death, permeating it...
The delegates felt that the object Burton mentioned was either five times the mass of the earth, which was understandable, but if it was only the size of a building, they felt deeply puzzled.
In fact, this is an analogy made by Burton. Because the object is invisible and incorporeal, it cannot be detected at all, so he expressed it with the concept of a neutron star.
Of course, neutron stars can be detected, he just borrows the physical phenomenon of their dense density.
"Let me explain." Liu Hanyang said, "The density of a neutron star is quite high, weighing more than 100 million tons per cubic centimeter. Therefore, Sir Burton used a neutron star building as an analogy to its mass."
The representatives seemed to understand, but their uneasy expressions still remained on the object five times the mass of Venus. They imagined what that object would look like?
"Sir Burton, is there any relationship between this object and the mysterious irregular body that appeared in the southern waters of our country?" Li Jianfeng asked.
"I agree with Professor Li Mosen's opinion. The dates of the appearance of the two are not far apart. Maybe there is, maybe not, but it is by no means an isolated incident."
As Burton spoke, his eyes slowly moved from Li Jianfeng to everyone else: "Whether it's relevant or not, my opinion is that we must immediately start research and observation of the two objects to find out their motives. This is crucial for us."
"Everyone!" Li Jianfeng walked to the middle of the oval conference table. His expression was serious and his eyes revealed a perseverance. "Human beings are facing an unknown civilization that we have never been in contact with. We know nothing about it. Of course, their level of civilization is several orders of magnitude higher than Earth’s civilization, and we don’t have much time left.”
"Within 5 years, the earth and mankind will suffer an unprecedented huge crisis, and even extinction! We cannot sit still and wait for death. I implore the seven countries to put aside their arrogance and prejudice, seek common ground while reserving differences, and unite all the forces in the world that can be united to face the crisis together and save the world." Earth, save human civilization!”
Li Jianfeng's sonorous and powerful words affected every representative present. Soon, the seven governments reached an agreement that the seven countries would take the lead in forming the United Nations (Interim) Crisis Plan.
The Crisis Planner will then perform two tasks:
1. Send deep-sea probes to conduct reconnaissance and research on mysterious alien irregularities.
2. Change the orbits of existing satellites in the Earth-Moon orbit, mobilize all high-power ground telescopes, closely observe the unknown object near the orbit of Venus, and at the same time, carry out analysis and summary of lunar data.
