Less than an hour after NASA received the image data sent back by tess, the White House held an emergency meeting. The people invited to the meeting were all high-ranking officials of the United States.
The images that had appeared in the main control room of the space agency were also displayed on the screen of the conference room!
In the picture, there was a dazzling starry sky. The colorful stars decorated it beautifully. Even those who had no artistic talent would marvel at its beauty.
However, one of the shining stars in the picture was too big and disharmonious.
As everyone knew, due to gravity, the stars in the universe were all spherical, and this star was too long and flat. It simply did not conform to logic.
The second picture zoomed in on the flat and long celestial body. One could clearly see that it looked like a person. No, it was a person!
As the saying went, there was no harm without comparison. Compared to the entire starry sky, this person was indeed very small. However, compared to the tiny spots of light on the planet beside him, this person seemed incomparably huge!
A person that was hundreds of times bigger than a planet, was this really human?
The people in the conference room opened their mouths in shock and looked at each other. They all saw the disbelief on each other's faces.
The question was, what did such a big person, even if he was an alien, eat to grow up? Planet brand jelly beans?
When they saw the third picture, everyone in the conference room opened their mouths so wide that a duck egg could be stuffed into them. The picture in the picture was enlarged a little more clearly. The giant figure of light was like a god, standing on the purple-gold nebula. Rings of light were blooming behind his head.
The magnificent brilliance radiated outwards, expanding wider and wider. It was like the aurora rising in the long night, cutting open the starry sky of the universe and completely covering a corner of the starry sky image under the brilliance. It was extremely eye-catching.
The fourth picture was much simpler. All the light had disappeared, and the giant figure of light was still standing in the starry sky. However, the entire starry sky seemed to be missing a corner. Compared to the other spots of light, the fan-shaped area at a 30-degree angle where the light passed was pitch-black, like a clean blackboard. It was very out of place, and it was precisely because of this that it made people think carefully!
Where were the hundred plus planets?
After a brief and depressing silence, the meeting room exploded into a heated debate about who the giant figure of light was, where the stars in the starry sky had gone, and whether the image was real or fake.
Some people were trembling slightly. Excitement, fear, shock, and disbelief filled the entire meeting room, as if this was the only way to vent their negative emotions. The noisy scene made it difficult for people to imagine that this was a meeting of a big country.
The US president, who had already seen these images, was very calm. He slowly picked up the coffee cup. Strangely, his hand trembled as if he had a stroke. Before the coffee reached his mouth, nearly half of it had already flowed out.
Gan Linniang, stop drinking!
The president of the United States, who looked calm on the surface but had yet to recover, was extremely annoyed. He put his cup down and slammed the table twice before shouting," Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to your image. Quiet, quiet down!”
Reality proved that the words of the American president were still somewhat " persuasive." The situation gradually stabilized. The high-ranking officials of the United States gradually stopped talking and looked at the American president.
To be honest, the president of the United States did not like everyone looking at him during meetings. Usually, such a situation would not be accompanied by good things.
"Mr. President, I would like to ask, is the image shown on this screen real?”A middle-aged white man took the lead to change the topic. He pointed at the screen with a trembling finger and asked in a dry voice.
Out of professional habit, the US president barely maintained a stiff smile on his face." I think it's more convincing to let our professional Director Hodgson answer this question.”
Terry Hodgson, who was the director of the Space Administration, sighed." Mr. Raphael, although I really hope that today is April Fool's Day and that these images are just a farce that our space agency has carefully produced to make everyone laugh, I'm very sorry. After repeated verification by the technicians, these are indeed real. Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that they are illusions created by other extraterrestrial civilizations with unknown technology, or without our knowledge. They intercepted tess and weaved these confusing images and data.”
" If that's the case, it's still better. It proves that the extraterrestrial civilization is not without scruples about us. They still need to intimidate and deceive us. If it were this giant figure of light, Planet Blue would be nothing but a pile of mud in front of him. He can pinch it however he wants. There is no resistance at all.”The person who spoke was a bald black man.
" Seven days ago, I saw the mysterious woman who came out of the 'Heavenly Gate'. She destroyed two of our satellites with a single glance. At that time, I was thinking that even the legendary gods were nothing more than this. Now that I think about it, my definition of the term' god 'was still a little too early.”
Compared to these freaks, the United States had been able to sit in the position of the world's overlord for so many years. It was really fortunate.
"Director Hodgson, I want to know how far this giant figure of light is from our planet, and how far is it from the solar system?”The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ms. Monica, asked.
The reason why she had changed it to the Solar System was because she felt that this figure of light, standing outside the Solar System, was enough to pose a fatal threat to the Blue Planet.
" The exact data is still being calculated," Hodgson answered truthfully." But a rough estimate is that it's no more than 20 light-years away from our solar system!”
As the name implied, light took twenty years to travel!
It only took about 10 seconds for light to travel from the sun to the earth. Thinking about the distance between the sun and the earth, it seemed quite far. However, when he thought about the size of this huge figure of light, who knew how many tens of thousands of miles it could cross with a single step, he thought about its mysterious power.
Twenty light years was a long distance for them, but not necessarily for others.
It had to be said that humans in this world had a common problem that was difficult to change. They liked to treat things that could pose a threat to them as imaginary enemies. Now that such a powerful neighbor had appeared next door, everyone present had already begun to consider how to deal with it if this neighbor came to the solar system.
