Chapter 147 Storm Premonition
"Sir Spokesperson, you mean, at 112°00′-112°14′ East longitude and 31°54′-32°10′ North latitude, … Oh, sorry, you are sure it is not Santa's reindeer, not an alien descending to the earth, but a wormhole leading to the depths of the universe, right?"
Powell waited carefully for a while in a solemn and quiet atmosphere, and said in an extremely confident tone: "Yes, I'm sure!"
The reporter below was still digesting what this news meant. A short silence occurred when the question asked, and then, with a "boom!", the sound exploded. On such a night, in this extremely solemn and formal occasion in the White House, under the attention of major media around the world, it was shocking!
Then, the indicator lights for asking questions lit up one after another. Someone stood up without waiting for permission and shouted loudly. The venue was in chaos, with arms, lips that were constantly opening and closing, and gestures to contact the headquarters, telephones, network communications, and everything they did, but no one was concerned about order.
This chaos lasted for several minutes until the gate of the venue opened and a large number of security guards came in with serious expressions. These people gradually calmed down, which was considered to have initially digested the impact.
A lucky blonde was named and stood up. Due to her overly eager and hasty movements, she almost tripped by herself: "I am the BBC's special correspondent Katherine, Mr. Spokesperson, I just checked this latitude and longitude, and it is located in China. What is the position of the US government on this?"
"One hour ago, we had already conveyed the attitude of the United States of America to the other party through formal channels. It is undoubtedly the greatest discovery of this century. It is extremely important for all mankind. It helps us understand the universe and space. Its scientific research value is unquestionable. Therefore, our position is that it belongs to all mankind. Yes, we demand an international investigation team, and we demand discussion at the General Assembly!"
"I'm sorry, I doubt the authenticity of this news. May I ask the spokesperson, does the White House have any conclusive evidence?" Another reporter stood up and directly asked everyone's most concerned focus.
"Of course." The spokesperson replied, there was another commotion at the scene. A high-definition satellite photo appeared on the LCD screen behind. The venue was silent for two seconds. "Click, click..." The endless flashes made the spokesperson's eyes unable to open. In fact, everyone present had this picture, but no one could think of this. People were just instinctively recording this extremely important moment.
It was another two minutes before people were able to take a closer look at this high-definition picture.
"Oh, God..."
"It looks like it's real, John, you're an expert in photography, and you'll take a look at it, would it be some kind of refraction of light, like the Northern Lights, or like those funny UFO photos?"
"No, no, my dear, believe me, look at this vortex, the ethereal light band on the edge... It is real. Of course, if it was not artificial synthesis, I don't think the White House would be bored to make such jokes, so there is no need to doubt it!"
"Oh my god, it's on a bridge, and the locals are covering it up! Hell, this is a robbery, it does not belong to any person, a country, it belongs to all humanity!"
"But man, it lands on that red land, not in Europe, not in America, not in the Middle East, not in any area under our control, it is in such a land, so...... the General Assembly is a good proposal, it is a game between civilized people, what do you think?"
"What if he doesn't matter, just let me see it with my own eyes. I don't care who I'm going to make a deal with, even if it's the devil!"
"Next statement!" The spokesperson changed the manuscript, "About the Olympic torch..."
Time difference, when major media around the world reported the explosive news at this press conference of the White House, Xiangcheng's clock just pointed to four o'clock in the afternoon. Compared with the noisy media, most ordinary people who heard this news for the first time were generally suspicious of the official mouthpieces of the world. After all, just a photo is far from being able to decide the official attitude of a country based on this.
In fact, this press conference is more of a test, and it goes without saying what to test.
However, the sudden changes in the international situation are transmitted to the domestic market and cannot be ignored. The secret seems to be increasingly unconcealed. What steps should be taken next and how to fight for the greatest interests of this country are the core of the current problem.
"...To sum up, we believe that Wu Chen's oral statement should be true. He has gained some abilities in the so-called "extraordinary battlefield" that we don't understand yet. As for who built this "extraordinary battlefield", who this "He" is, and how the wormhole came about... we still need to continue to study and observe!"
A video conference connected the front line command center and the core located in the rear, the soldiers, experts and officials, reported to their superiors in this secret room, the details and latest developments of the situation have developed to the present. On the other end of the video, several old people left the screen range and gathered together for a brief discussion. A serious man in Zhongshan dress walked to the screen and asked a question: "How to explain that the wormhole is later than the appearance of Wu Chen?"
The heads of the three parties looked at each other, and Academician Wang, who was in charge of scientific research, stepped forward: "Combining the details of these 20,000 times of travel, we believe that wormholes may have appeared long ago, or there may be no necessary decisive relationship between the "extraordinary battlefield" and wormholes. At least these 20,000 people have never physically entered wormholes!"
"So, how should the five people who came back from a foreign land for the first time explain?"
"According to the descriptions of these five people and our analysis, "Extraordinary Battlefield" and alien planet are two completely different individuals. As for the relationship between them, I'm sorry, further research and observation are needed."
On the screen, the man in Zhongshan dressed in a man turned around and listened for a while, "You must pay attention that ten thousand people disappeared at a time, and thousands of people's life and death cannot happen for the third time. We must be responsible for the safety of the people's lives and property. This is the bottom line. As for Wu Chen... in principle, agree with the opinions of the front line command center, contact and observe for a while!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"But... our bottom line must be maintained! Also, you should change your thinking and change your thoughts. Don't imagine him as a beast. Since he says he is a Son, a Husband, and a Father, it means that he recognizes the value of being a person. So, does he have this recognition of the land under his feet? Do he have this recognition of our nation? You must know that identity is mutual, and it depends on your work. Why did I not see any progress in this area in the report?"
The three of them suddenly felt a little restless and agreed? Well, they really didn't expect this and they all subconsciously treated Wu Chen as a non-human.
In this way, the sun is about to set on July 13, noise begins abroad, and the country is temporarily calm, and the first lucky people to embark on the extraordinary battlefield are about to embark on a new journey.
