Chapter 43 - 43: We Might Be Stronger Than The Aliens!



“Good morning, everyone!” “Today is October 11th, 2028, Wednesday, the twenty-third day of the eighth lunar month. Welcome to the news program…” “Yesterday at noon, I believe everyone felt the earthquake…” “It is reported that along with the Blue Moon, many meteorites also arrived towards Earth…” “Most of the meteorites burned up upon entering the atmosphere…” “However, there was one meteorite with a diameter of 249 meters that fell into the

Pacific Ocean, causing a significant tremor worldwide…” “According to expert analysis, the impact of this meteorite caused the continental plate on Blue Star to shift 10 centimeters to the west…” “This event also concerns the ownership of Blue Star’s deepest trench…” “As we all know, the Mariana Trench is the deepest trench on Planet Earth. It was formed

60 million years ago, with a maximum depth of 10,909 meters…” “Now, the Mariana Trench officially steps down to become the second deepest trench on Blue Star…” “The 249-meter diameter meteorite has created a new trench on Earth, reaching a depth of 39,887 meters!” “After discussions by the global group of experts, it has been decided to name this trench the Dilan Trench…”

Many viewers sitting in front of their televisions were very excited to see this. This was witnessing history in the making.

Many people instinctively took out their phones, wanting to share and interact with their friends and online acquaintances.

But soon, they put down their phones again because the signal bars remained empty.

“When will we have a signal?!

“Ah, Life is so hard without the internet!

As if hearing the voice of the people, the news program finally mentioned something related to mobile signals.

“…1 believe that for the past two days, global netizens have been anxious to know what’s happening with the mobile signals…” “The lack of signal can be seen as the Blue Moon’s way of greeting us, the people of Earth, as if saying, ‘Blue Star residents, don’t just bury your heads in your phones, look up and see me’…” “Just a little joke to lighten the mood… The lack of signal is indeed related to the Blue Moon…” “According to the global group of experts, the arrival of the Blue Moon has disrupted

Blue Star’s magnetic field, causing disturbances in electromagnetic wave signals…” “The disruption is expected to last for about a month…” “During this time, we sincerely hope that all viewers can take this opportunity to put down their phones, step out of the virtual network, spend more time with family, accompany their children, take trips with their elders…”

After the appearance of the Blue Moon in the sky, the crisis of Earth’s destruction was averted.

Everything returned to normal.

The Earth Alliance Defense Agency performed extraordinarily well in the face of this disaster.

Colonel Chu himself was awarded the title of Vanguard in private.

These honorary titles were not important to him. What troubled him at the moment was how to communicate with the extraterrestrials.

A small meeting consisting of about ten people was secretly held at the Earth Alliance Defense Agency.

Colonel Chu, as the moderator, sat in the first seat.

“An hour ago, we received a message from the lunar base. Zhao Yu, the chief negotiator responsible for lunar-to-Earth affairs, will visit Earth tomorrow at 11:00 AM, Xia Capital time…”

“Now, we need to discuss two issues.1 “The first one is whether this visit by the extraterrestrial should be made public to the general public!” “The second one is, where would be the most suitable place to receive the extraterrestrial for their first visit to Earth?”

As soon as the voice fell, Thomas shouted, “Of course, it should be in Meine. We are the strongest nation on Earth…”

Colonel Chu frowned slightly and said, “Let’s discuss the first issue first. The public and private addresses cannot be the same…”

If it’s public, it naturally has to be in a dignified place, representing respect. If it’s private, it’s a different story.

Although there were over a dozen people in the meeting room, there were only representatives from the four nations in total.

The representative of the Northern Bear Kingdom shrugged and said, “It doesn’t matter, whether it’s public or private, it’s up to you!” “We can’t make it public!”

It was Thomas again, standing up once more and firmly stating, “Have you ever thought about one thing…” “If the extraterrestrials establish a stable foothold on Earth and want to recruit talents and experts from around the world, who can stop them from attracting elite individuals from all nations?!”

Colonel Chu squinted his eyes, understanding Thomas’ point.

The Commonwealth of Meine had once attracted talents and elites from around the world based on a dream. Those people didn’t come because they liked the place, but because Meine was the number one nation on the planet.

Whoever came first, they followed!

If the existence of extraterrestrials were to be revealed from the beginning, perhaps they would still be friendly now and not have the intention to recruit talents and experts.

But after some time, if extraterrestrials wanted to, other countries would have no way to prevent the loss of talents.

“I agree, it shouldn’t be made public!” Jackson also stood up and expressed his opinion.

Deep down, Colonel Chu also had an answer. If they didn’t make the existence of the extraterrestrials public, even if the extraterrestrials started a company or group, they would still be within the framework of Earth.

Besides the issue of losing talented workers, he also thought of a more long-term problem.

By not making it public, if Earth were to become stronger in the future and wanted to distance itself from extraterrestrials, they could rely on public sentiment.

But if it was made public, at the very least, they couldn’t speak ill of the extraterrestrials openly.

It was like before it was made public, the existence of extraterrestrials could be there or not, they could be good or bad, just like Schrodinger’s cat. Before the box was opened, the result would always remain unknown.

“I also agree not to make it public!”

Colonel Chu made a decision and turned to the representative of the Northern Bear Kingdom, asking, “Do you have anything to say?” “No, we have listened to what you all have said. Indeed, not making it public is indeed the best for us. So, let’s keep it private!”

The Northern Bear Kingdom was straightforward and never bothered with such circumventions. If it weren’t for Thomas’ explanation, this representative wouldn’t have thought about it so much.

“Alright, the first issue is concluded. Unless there are special circumstances, the matter of extraterrestrials should not be made public to the public!”

Colonel Chu paused for a moment and continued, “Where should we take the extraterrestrials to so we can welcome their visit?” “First, it should be sufficiently discreet and away from the public…” Thomas stood up once again and glanced at Jackson.

Jackson couldn’t help but curse silently, but he was also helpless. Among the four major countries, they had the smallest landmass with one of the highest population density. In that sense, they didn’t really have a discrete location to contain the extraterrestrials in.

“Moreover, they need to be strong. If I were an extraterrestrial visiting Earth and found out that the one receiving me is not the leader but someone of lower rank, I would feel neglected and disrespected…”

Thomas grinned at Colonel Chu and the representatives from North Bear Country, with a smug look on his face.

Though his expression seemed sly, his words held enough persuasive power.

In their eyes, regardless of any private discussions, the fact that the first-ranked individual was not present carried a meaning of disrespect and disregard.

Furthermore, it didn’t matter what they thought privately. If the extraterrestrials interpreted it as a lack of respect, it would be detrimental to the mutual peace between mankind and the aliens.

Colonel Chu exchanged a glance with the representative from North Bear Country and didn’t dwell on this matter too much.

As before, external conflicts took priority over internal conflicts.

“Very well. We can have the visit taken in Meine. Which specific location do you have in mind?” Colonel Chu asked.

Colonel Chu could have used the fact that some extraterrestrials could speak Chinese as a reason to compete with Thomas. However, the advisory group had previously analyzed this situation and provided a more conservative recommendation.

Seeing that no one was arguing, Thomas chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, we represent

Earth, not just our nation…”

Since no one paid attention to him, Thomas reined in his smile and spoke seriously, “As for the location, it can be in the 404 Area!” “That’s the highest classified area in Meine!

Colonel Chu nodded slightly. He had long heard of the 404 Area in Meine, a cutting-edge technology research base.

“Most of our high-tech products in Meine over the past eighty years have originated from there, before being sent to the military and eventually flowing into civilian hands…”

Thomas briefly introduced their 404 Area and continued, “I have to admit, the extraterrestrials are strong!” “They could potentially destroy Earth at any time…” “However, 1 don’t believe that this makes them better than us!” “Although we currently can’t achieve complete equality with them…” “But given time, I believe we will surpass them eventually…”

Thomas’ eyes sparkled with confidence as he spoke, “Moreover, in certain fields, perhaps the extraterrestrials are inferior to us!”

Colonel Chu and the other two grew interested.

The 404 Area could be considered the most mysterious and valuable base in the world.

Having the opportunity to visit the 404 Area and witness its futuristic technological concepts and research progress during the extraterrestrial visit would be beneficial for the country’s high-tech research direction.

Colonel Chu’s mind stirred, and he said, “You’re right. The more critical the situation, the more we need to demonstrate our strongest side to earn respect…” “Hahaha!”

Thomas was pleased, laughing twice before continuing, “I know you’re curious about what we have. Since we’re opening up, there’s no harm in telling you in advance…” “The highest technological content in our 404 Area is intelligent combat robots and laser weapons…”

Intelligent combat robots were manageable, not reaching Level Zero on the danger scale.

Colonel Chu was interested in the laser weapons and quickly asked, “How far along is your research on laser weapons?”

Thomas brimmed with confidence and said, “Are you still stuck on the first generation?” “We have overcome the issue of not being able to operate in all weather conditions.

Whether it’s heavy fog, snow, or rain, we can use laser weapons at any time…” “In addition, we have solved a series of problems caused by atmospheric disturbances, such as energy decay, thermal blooming, turbulence, and more…” “This quickly?!” Colonel Chu was somewhat surprised. With his military background, he obviously knew about the progress of conceptual weapons research.

Just as Thomas had said, the laser weapons researched by Great Xia were still hindered by weather and atmospheric conditions, unable to progress beyond the first generation.

He pursued further, “Has the energy storage issue been resolved?”

Energy storage was the most significant unresolved problem in laser weapon research, as it determined the feasibility of large-scale application and the upper limit of maximum power.

“Not yet…” Thomas shook his head. “Energy storage devices are difficult to miniaturize, and we are also researching high-energy batteries, but there hasn’t been any progress so far…”

After speaking, he regained his confidence and said, “However, we believe that in this field, apart from the energy storage problem, we are not inferior to the extraterrestrials in other aspects. We might even surpass them!”

Colonel Chu and Jackson exchanged a glance.

They both agreed somewhat with Thomas’s words.

According to estimations, the extraterrestrial technology on the moon was ahead of Earth by 50 to 200 years, depending on the average technological level. However, for conceptual cutting-edge technology like laser weapons, Earth might genuinely be stronger than the extraterrestrials.

“At the very least, we could achieve a draw, right?!” The group grew excited. If they were not far behind the extraterrestrials in the field of laser weapons, it meant that digesting extraterrestrial technology was not an impossible task.

“Perhaps, with time, we can surpass them. It’s within our reach!” Colonel Chu exclaimed..
