Chapter 3, Significant Impact
Regarding these news reports, Mo Chen found them quite enjoyable, but he soon realized this and sighed as he shifted his attention elsewhere
However, perhaps it is because everyone thinks this way that competition among peers is exceptionally fierce
It is as if one were to turn on the television now, and regardless of which channel is selected, only news broadcasts can be seen, with absolutely no trace of any other entertainment programs.
At the same time in the White House, a certain meeting was also coming to a close, having reached conclusions similar to those of other countries
Under normal circumstances, by now, if the network had completely returned to normal since this morning, news regarding the celestial incident would have already spread like wildfire across various communities and platforms.
This has already become their standard practice
This is truly a situation that elicits both laughter and tears, yet he indeed cannot afford to let his guard down, for after all, on this planet today, who is unaware of the super century event that occurred just seven or eight hours ago in the morning
According to experts, while the Earth orbits the Sun in the universe, the entire solar system and the Milky Way galaxy itself are also in motion. This event occurred because our galaxy, while moving through space, passed through a certain special radiation belt
The following content begins to become rather unremarkable
It is feared that no Earthling could possibly be unaware; the only thing that remains unclear is likely who exactly is responsible for creating all of this
Meanwhile, an unknown number of well-known or lesser-known illegal organizations around the world have issued announcements through various channels, claiming responsibility for this celestial event
An elderly man with graying hair sighed, removed his reading glasses, and casually placed the stack of documents in his hand on the table
However, the tactics they employ are likely the same, essentially stating that "humans are born with sin and live to atone for it"
From the morning until now, the power system has been restored to normal after emergency repairs. Although the issues with the network and communication have become more severe, there are still several temporary solutions available to maintain communication.
The comprehensive strength among nations naturally varies in levels, but in the current era, the world order and isolation are no longer in the same state as they once were
Turning his head to look at the silver-white cube that he had set aside, and gazing at the almost imperceptible vine patterns on its surface, Mo Chen's expression was quite complex
Other places may be unknown, but at least in the current city, it is like this. However, it is obvious without thinking that there cannot possibly be only this one city that is the epitome of beauty.
The response was obtained instantly, and the results can be considered quite abundant; however, they are primarily the releases from official media.
This cannot be human-made, what I mean is... there is no one on Earth who can accomplish this.
The soldier, adorned with the insignia of a colonel, spoke calmly and remained unfazed
... ...
Not to mention anything else, the incident that occurred this morning, which affected the entire Earth's power and communication networks, is absolutely not a phenomenon that could have been created by the United States
This is also a consistent pattern; however, shortly after the celestial event occurred, in the context of heightened sensitivity among various governments, what they encountered was the ruthless iron fist of authoritarianism, which was met with direct suppression
... ...
We are able to understand that, although we have differing opinions, we can confirm this matter.
I am more inclined to believe that this is a supernatural disaster; it is neither a natural phenomenon nor caused by humans... In nearly six minutes, the complete depletion of all electricity on Earth is truly a minor issue; what is truly terrifying is the disappearance of that sunlight...
This is not a phenomenon that can be produced by humans; even the practical application of electromagnetic cannons has only recently matured, and Gauss weapons are still in the experimental stage. These relatively realistic fields have not yet been thoroughly perfected, and such black technology is impossible to emerge.
The U.S. military stationed in Japan is facing significant military risks, with five Black Hawk helicopters crashing near the base. Additionally, experts have pointed out that this celestial incident does not pose a threat to human health
... ...
But at least this can somewhat reassure him
They hope to convince others that they indeed possess the determination and capability to carry out large-scale terrorist attacks
In the current situation, the top priority is to transmit information and issue instructions as quickly as possible to maintain stability in the situation
As time passed, it was already the afternoon of that day, or perhaps it should be said that it was close to evening.
This matter is absolutely impossible to be man-made
In light of this
Therefore, Mo Chen is currently sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of his house, listening to the news anchor on the television, whose voice is somewhat tense and different from usual
Even the term "one super many strong" has gradually begun to become outdated
... ...
The news anchor is very nervous, and Mo Chen is equally anxious; however, he certainly does not feel any sense of camaraderie towards the former
This made him feel very touched
Throughout the entire day today, the wailing sirens of various police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks outside have not ceased for even a minute
However, the current state of the internet has not truly returned to normal; it is merely a temporary measure to allow people to better understand the news, thereby stabilizing the situation and preventing further panic and unrest
If even the hopes of humanity cannot achieve certain things, how could other insignificant entities possibly accomplish them? Moreover, everyone is well aware of the nature of those terrorist organizations.
After all, if such energy truly existed, wouldn't it be better for them to simply choose to overturn the entire world?
Even if it is the United States, their technology is somewhat more advanced than ours. However, unless there is a technological leap that we cannot comprehend, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such things
"Ahem, the following is an urgent broadcast of the latest news from our station..."
Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been countless terrorist attacks for which at least two organizations have claimed responsibility after the fact
At the same time, in a large and tidy conference room at the headquarters of the Academy of Sciences located in the capital of Huaxia, a middle-aged researcher spoke decisively in response to the questions from the military personnel across from him
In a span of six minutes, even the solar energy that merely enters the Earth's vicinity amounts to a power exceeding that of over twenty thousand "Little Boys"
It is a pity that
Moreover, it is also possible to observe what the current opinions are regarding the previous matter.
As the main culprit, Mo Chen was understandably anxious; he was indeed frightened.
The reason why terrorist organizations are referred to as "terrorist organizations" and their violent attacks are termed "terrorist attacks" lies fundamentally in the atmosphere of terror they propagate
Mo Chen decisively turned off the television, then took out his mobile phone to refresh and check the latest current affairs and trending news.
Between 9:43 AM and approximately 9:49 AM today, a large-scale cosmic storm simultaneously affected the entire globe, briefly causing power and network communication disruptions. Following emergency repairs by engineering technicians, communication functions have been gradually restored in most areas
On the other side of the Earth, the United States, Washington, D.C.
After all, he knows that if his affairs are truly exposed and the truth comes to light, it is certain that the urban management enforcement team would directly storm into his home, rather than first issuing a news announcement for him to see
It is currently around 5:30 PM
However, to say that its technology is no longer of this era... that would truly be nonsense, after all, if such an extraterrestrial civilization really existed, would it be interesting to compete with humans on Earth for oil every day
I just want to say, within a span of 6 minutes, all the light and heat, all the radiation released by the sun is plundered. So, how terrifying is this amount of energy, gentlemen
Some people are eager to take the blame for themselves. In this world filled with material desires, perhaps only this matter can bring a glimmer of warmth to Mo Chen.
The colonel furrowed his brow slightly as he looked at the various images, data, and graphs displayed on the screen in the conference room, his gaze directly bypassing the incomprehensible keywords such as "interference," "diffraction," and "particles."
Then, he gently nodded: "So, let me confirm one last time, I will report... Is this a natural phenomenon or a supernatural anomaly? Can we completely rule out human factors?"
Therefore, one must abandon their sins, especially the sinful money, in order to attain the salvation of their God
Although it is often said that "the American empire controls core technology," those who are not foolish should understand that the technological gap among a few major countries is not as fantastical as some ill-intentioned individuals claim
He skillfully bypassed the information that was of no value, while also paying attention to -
A highly respected physicist is delivering the final summary speech
If we do not limit ourselves to the range accepted by Earth, the energy emitted by the Sun every second is sufficient for Earth to use for 270,000 years... Converted into nuclear bombs, how many bombs can be allocated per person on Earth based on the population?
The rampant promotion and even fabrication of terrorist attacks is also a "survival strategy" and "intangible capital" of terrorist organizations, which can serve as leverage for them to threaten governments and intimidate people in various countries
They enjoy boasting and exaggerating their achievements, and it is only natural that they would attribute the various issues that normal national governments would fear to avoid to themselves
Until now, the sharp sound of police sirens continues to approach from a distance, then recedes into the distance again
Even if it is the hope of humanity, the beacon of democracy—the United States of America—it is indeed true that its technological prowess is second to none, and in certain fields, it has indeed established a considerable distance from other major powers
However, they themselves do not have the capability to truly carry out so many terrorist attacks, thus claiming responsibility for other incidents and announcing that their organization is responsible is the only way forward
He did not even dare to open the window to see what was happening outside, only hoping that after a series of rescue and repair efforts, the situation had improved, at least not as dire as it was in the morning
"How many times has it been reiterated? Your concerns are quite unreasonable; such phenomena could absolutely not be caused by the military facilities of other countries"
The sun gradually descended from its position directly overhead to the edge of the distant horizon, its released light and heat transforming from an intensity that was impossible to gaze upon into a gentle glow of soft orange-yellow.
At this moment, he felt a strange sensation in his heart; he had never paid such serious attention to current news and events before, yet now, after having crossed over, he found himself unexpectedly concerned about them.
As long as the leadership of a country has a reasonably functioning mindset, it will certainly not consider the extent to which the declarations of those illegal organizations contain credible elements
What truly intrigued Mo Chen was the large-scale public demonstrations and spontaneous religious gatherings triggered by celestial events, during which an unknown number of doomsayers seized the opportunity to emerge and fervently promote unheard-of doctrines
Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm. We do not doubt you, but we must verify this matter repeatedly. We hope you can understand
He looked around, and then his voice was somewhat weary and hoarse
It cannot be completely ruled out; this depends on how we define the term "human".
... ...
After a brief silence, the old man stood up from his chair
Therefore, he was eager to know the news from the outside world and to keep up with the latest current events, though perhaps this was of little significance
