As soon as they sat down, the car started.
There were not many pedestrians on the street, so it was empty. The car was moving at a high speed, and the surrounding scenery flashed by quickly. There were factories everywhere.
Chen Xinjie sat next to Luo Yuan stiffly. She clenched her fists tightly, and the veins on the back of her white hands were visible. She was obviously nervous.
Chief No.2 was already at the top of the hierarchy, so how could a small civil servant like her get to see him?
Luo Yuan, on the other hand, was able to remain calm. He was confident because of his powerful abilities. Luo Yuan found that he was not affected much.
The car stopped in front of a small, low building. The small building was not eye-catching at all. If it were not for the signboard that symbolized the highest authority at the entrance, as well as the armored vehicles and soldiers patrolling nearby, it would have been overlooked.
The two of them followed the driver out of the car. Under the watchful eyes of the soldiers at the entrance, Luo Yuan took the initiative to hand over his weapon. He was carefully checked again. Of course, it was just a formality. If Luo Yuan really wanted to attack, it would not make much difference whether he had a weapon or not.
After entering the building, Luo Yuan found that the building was obviously the entrance, and the real core was still underground.
They took the elevator again, and then they took countless turns. If Luo Yuan did not have an amazing memory, he would not have been able to find the way back. After about 10 minutes, they arrived at the door of a meeting room.
As the guard at the door opened, Chen Xinjie's guard was stopped. Only Luo Yuan walked into the meeting room.
There were already many people waiting inside. When Luo Yuan walked in, more than 10 pairs of eyes looked at him. There was fear, doubt, anger, and despair in their eyes. The atmosphere was unusually heavy. Luo Yuan looked down and walked into the meeting room without stopping.
"Major General Luo, thank you for coming all the way here. But your information is too important, so we have to deal with it carefully. I hope that you won't hide anything or make any jokes in the following inquiries." Chief No. 2 looked a little tired and said in a heavy tone.
Luo Yuan nodded his head solemnly.
"Major General Luo, please come to the rostrum for questioning. I would like to add one last thing, this meeting is classified as a Class-A secret, I hope everyone will pay attention to the confidentiality rules." As he spoke, he stood up, his body swayed slightly, and then slowly walked towards the audience.
Luo Yuan walked to the rostrum, took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect to be able to speak here, although I didn't want to stand here today. From this point on, every word I said was spoken as a member of the human race.
It happened two days ago. I was on a mission that day. Due to the long journey, I was stranded in the wilderness about 600 kilometers away from the Reconstruction Area. The coordinates were (X: * *; Y: * *).
That night, I rested in a nearby cave. At around one o 'clock in the morning, I saw a flash of blue light, so I chased after it … "
As soon as Luo Yuan finished his speech, the meeting room was in an uproar.
"Major General Luo, are you sure you didn't see any familiar characters on the robot, not even Arabic numerals?" a white-haired scientific consultant asked impatiently.
"No!" Luo Yuan shook his head and said.
"But you said that you were three or four kilometers away at that time. Do you think you saw wrongly?" he continued to ask.
"My eyesight is very good." Luo Yuan said calmly.
Before the scientific consultant could continue to ask, he was interrupted by another old man, "We have been communicating with the rest of the human bases. It's impossible for the other bases to achieve this level of technology. What I want to ask is, can you tell the temperature of the flame emitted by the mutated beast?"
"I can't tell, but I can use it as a reference. After the flame emitted by the mutated beast, the trees within 10 meters of the flame started to burn," Luo Yuan said.
"I've calculated that the temperature should be around 10,000 to 20,000 degrees Celsius. The metal of the robot did not change color at such a high temperature. Currently, there is no material in the Reconstruction Area, including the rest of the human bases, that can reach such a temperature." Another scientific consultant immediately said.
Luo Yuan looked at him in surprise. The scientific consultant looked very young, about 20 years old. He stood out among the group of white-haired old men. Coupled with his strong mental calculation ability, this scientific consultant was obviously an evolved human with a rare intelligence. He continued to ask.
"Major General Luo, I would like to ask about the power of the robot. From your description, the robot should have an anti-gravity engine. When it flew away from the earth, there was a conventional turbo jet. Can you tell what color the flame was?"
Luo Yuan was silent for a while. The robot flew too fast that even he could not see it clearly. However, his memory was amazing and he could almost replay the scene in his mind. He thought for a while and said, "It seemed to be red, but the color was very light."
"The helium plasma is pink. That should be the kinetic energy of nuclear fusion. However, such a small nuclear fusion is unbelievable. However, this extraterrestrial civilization is still within the scope of our understanding. The difference in technology is about 100 to 150 years."
As soon as this was said, not only some of the think tanks in the meeting, even the second chief was slightly relieved. He said, "So, we might be able to fight back."
"You can't say that. Since the industrial revolution, the development of technology has been in a continuous process. Ten years ago, knowledge doubled every 20 years. Five years ago, it doubled every 10 years. In the recent two years after the apocalypse, it doubled again.
During the First World War 100 years ago, a guided missile destroyer could sink all the battleships from thousands of kilometers away as long as it had enough missiles. In the process of the continuous acceleration of technology, the gap in the next 100 years will definitely be much bigger than the previous 100 years. We have no way to fight back. Now, we can only hope that the extraterrestrial civilization does not have any evil intentions, "an old man explained.
The atmosphere was depressing. Everyone looked solemn and the meeting room was filled with despair. When the gap in strength was too big to make up for, any effort would be in vain.
…
The meeting was adjourned after three hours. Some of them left while some of them stayed in their seats. The discovery of the extraterrestrial civilization was a serious matter. The meeting just now was just to understand and ask questions. No constructive decisions were made. There were still other meetings but they had nothing to do with Luo Yuan anymore. He walked out of the meeting room and let out a long sigh.
The atmosphere was so depressing that even Luo Yuan could not stand it.
As soon as she saw Luo Yuan, Chen Xinjie quickly walked up to him and asked, "Has the meeting ended?"
Just when Luo Yuan was about to speak, one of the staff members beside the No. 2 chief quickly walked towards him and said, "Major General Luo, it's better if you don't leave New Capital City for the next two days. There are some issues that the higher-ups need to solve. I've booked a room for you, I'll send you back now."
