The Wandering Planet

,!

The appearance of the Ark caused a global shock. Immediately, the residents in the underground city also saw this spectacular scene through the dome that could show the sky.

"What it is?"

"A star-class interstellar warship of the human fleet?"

"Impossible, the stellar-class interstellar battleship is not even one-tenth the size of this place!"

"Could it be the Trisolaran Fleet?"

"How can there be such a thing?"

······

The scale of the Ark is completely beyond the imagination of human civilization at this stage. The thick armor that reveals the chill from the inside to the outside makes the star-class interstellar warships of the three major fleets look like plastic toys. The eight main naval guns The caliber is even more astonishing, and it feels like it can fit an entire aircraft carrier.

Such a huge spacecraft suddenly appeared above the earth's orbit, and even entered the atmosphere, which made the defense line of Jupiter's orbit full of confidence, so that the joint fleet that left the earth in an undefended state was shocked.

They are like the French government hiding behind the Maginot Line during World War II, inexplicably discovering that the enemy has reached its doorstep.

The United Fleet, which was originally planning to set off to intercept the Trisolaran probe, immediately stopped its expedition and called back urgently to monitor the movement of the Ark.

On the ground, countless people were so frightened by the majesty and momentum of the Ark that their legs became weak. They looked up and fell to the ground inadvertently.

Guo Zhengming quickly got up from the sand, and was about to ask Qiao Lv for clarification, but was interrupted by an emergency call from his superior.

"······Yes······Yes, he is in front of me······Understand..."

After communicating with his superiors, Guo Zhengming came back to Qiao Lv and said with a strange expression:

"It seems that I am not high enough to talk to you, can I change the place?"

"Of course." Qiao Lu readily agreed.

So Guo Zhengming took Qiao Lv to another place, which was a huge sealed building on the surface, surrounded by rare troops standing guard, revealing a solemnity and solemnity that did not match this era.

Guo Zhengming's responsibilities ended when Qiao Lv was brought here, and then he was greeted by a person with a European face, who completed the handover in front of the building's gate.

"We have installed a firewall to prevent you from being attacked by the KILLER virus again. My mission is over, and you can talk to the people inside." Guo Zhengming said to Qiao Lv.

Qiao Lv looked at the completely sealed building in front of him, and asked curiously, "Can this building shield Sophon from surveillance?"

Guo Zhengming shook his head and said: "Impossible, sophons can enter from high-dimensional to low-dimensional, and they can enter any closed space in our world. This is also the relationship between us in three dimensions and the two-dimensional plane. You will be drawn on paper Is one of the lines blocked?"

"That is, everything still has to be exposed to Sophon's vision."

"Sorry, there's nothing we can do."

Leaving this sentence behind, Guo Zhengming left.

Then the European-faced man approached, in a neat suit that did not flicker or reflect images, like clothes from a bygone era, perhaps a sign of dignity.

"Hello, I am Ben Jonathan, Special Commissioner of the Fleet Joint Conference,

Are you the spokesperson for the starship above? "

Jonathan pointed to the Ark above his head, where the huge hull of the Ark still occupied most of the sky, and only half of the sunlight could shine down.

Qiao Li nodded and said, "That's right."

"Allow me to express my joy at this meeting and hope that we can resolve issues through conversation."

After finishing speaking, Jonathan led Qiao Lv into this huge sealed building, which looked like a huge cube on the outside, and a vast white space inside.

Jonathan looked back, as if to check whether the door was closed tightly, then he walked to the wall, activated an operation interface, and after a few simple clicks on it, all five walls including the ceiling disappeared under them. in the displayed holographic image.

At this time, Qiao Lv found himself in a conference hall. Although everything had changed a lot, the walls and the big round table were glowing softly, but the designers here obviously wanted to copy the style of the old era, from the big round table, the rostrum In the nostalgic complex reflected in the overall layout, it feels like returning to the site of the United Nations General Assembly in the past.

The venue is still empty now, with only two staff members distributing documents on the conference table. Qiao Lv was surprised to find that paper documents are still being used, just like Jonathan's clothes, which should also be a solemn expression.

Jonathan said: "Remote meetings are now the norm, and we participate in this way without affecting the importance and seriousness of the meeting."

The commanders of the three major fleets are still at the Jupiter base, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to come back immediately.

Therefore, teleconferencing became the only option, and Qiao Li had nothing to complain about.

After a while, the meeting site was full of people, or it was a holographic projection image. Most of the participants were wearing military uniforms, obviously officers of the three major fleets.

In this era, the concept of a big country no longer exists, and in international politics, all countries have declined.

Only the three major fleets hold the actual power of the human space armed forces, so they are naturally the ones negotiating with Qiao Lv. The name of this meeting is the Solar System Fleet Joint Meeting.

The top leaders of the Asian Fleet, the European Fleet and the North American Fleet all appeared at the meeting. They all showed high vigilance against the Ark. With the current technology of mankind, it is impossible to manufacture such a huge ship. Who knows how many stars will be needed? Only super star warships can compete with it.

It is human instinct to show fear of the unknown, so this conversation with Qiao Li is particularly important.

"Who are you guys?" The Asia Fleet representative asked first.

"I have already answered this question, the second human civilization - Starship Earth."

"Where are you from?"

"In the universe, the spaceship above is our home, wandering in space forever, but now we want to go home."

Qiao Li made up his lies step by step. Only in this way can he deceive Sophon, and make the Three-Body Civilization and Wandering Earth also fall into the contest of information asymmetry.

"What do you mean by going home?" the representative of the European Fleet asked suspiciously.

"Literally, our ancestors came from the earth, so we come back to return to our roots. Is there any problem?"

As the commander of the Asian Fleet said to Zhang Beihai, it's not that human civilization has tried space colonization plans, but they all failed without exception.

However, failures also leave records, and most space colonization projects are not confirmed failures, but have no response.

This gives Qiao Li room to make up a story, a convincing origin of Starship Earth.
