Extraterrestrial parasite

Building a space elevator is a good idea, but building a space elevator is not an easy task.

The first step is to solve the technical problems, which may not be difficult for Andres. The second step is to solve the financial problem.

It is estimated that the total cost of a space elevator that can reach the outer area of ​​the atmosphere will exceed US$1.5 trillion... For this amount of money, let alone Andres, even the United States, the only superpower in the world today, has very little It is difficult to come up with such a large amount of funds, and it is completely impossible to pass the congressional budget.

Finally, the construction of a space elevator is bound to encounter many political problems. Choosing to build a space elevator at the equator will definitely cause interference from the U.S. government and dissatisfaction from other countries. To solve this biggest political problem, it is more difficult than raising a 1.5 trillion US dollars is still difficult.

So the more he learned about his right hand's plan, the more desperate Chen Yang felt.

I thought that building a nuclear power plant was difficult enough, with many complex problems to be faced and solved, but I didn't expect that the establishment of a nuclear power plant was just the beginning, and it could only be regarded as an introduction.

It seems that from the preparation to the completion of the construction and use of the space elevator, Andres will become a behemoth that is not inferior to the level of a major country in terms of economic influence and political influence. For a company, there has never been a company of this level in the entire history of mankind.

There is a long way to go, and this is the fact that Chen Yang has to face now.

Shake your head and throw these annoying problems behind you. Chen Yang took a sip of coffee and was about to deal with other matters when the notice came over.

"Your Excellency, Developer. Drone No. 4 has detected an abnormal target, please check it."

"Abnormal target?"

Chen Yang was startled and looked up at the display screen. The photo taken by the T-400 drone was very clear when enlarged to a hundred-inch screen.

"That is……"

I thought I had found that huge alien creature, but I didn't expect that the content of the photos taken by drone No. 4 this time was a little different from it.

Although they all look like huge alien creatures. However, the monster captured in this photo is not the monster Chen Yang encountered before. Rather, it is a creature of completely different species and form.

To put it bluntly, it resembles a spider magnified tens of thousands of times, with legs that are over fifty or sixty meters long. But unlike the spider, this creature's body has a chest and abdomen. But it seemed as if it had been hollowed out, leaving only the hard limbs like ribs, neatly arranged in one piece, connecting each other to the legs below. To say that it is the same as the previous monster, it can only be said that they are both the same huge... The body is so huge that it is unimaginable for humans.

Chen Yang quickly flipped through the photos below and discovered that this alien monster was located 270 kilometers south of Washington and seemed to be still moving.

"It's different from the previous monsters..."

Holding his chin, Chen Yang had a trace of doubt in his eyebrows: "Although it has been confirmed that there are other monsters. But if the shapes are different, does it mean that the sixty-four monsters have different shapes?"

Where do these monsters come from and why are they here. What kind of connection there is with origin...all this is unknown, and Chen Yang doesn't know, so he can only make some tentative guesses.

As for whether these speculations are truly correct, it seems that only God knows.

"Xeon, did the rest of the drones find anything?"

Stopping his thoughts, Chen Yang raised his head and asked.

"Your Excellency, Developer. Currently, the remaining nine drones have not found any abnormalities."

In a cold voice. Unsurprising answer.

"Continue the search. What's the current condition of UAV No. 4?"...

"An order has been issued to try to explore at close range."

"Ah That's good……"

Chen Yang's voice interrupted him before he could finish his sentence: "Your Excellency, Developer, we received data a second ago that UAV No. 4 was destroyed and contact with UAV No. 4 has been lost. "

"Destroyed?"

Chen Yang stood up and said in surprise: "Is it too close, or what?"

"The reason is currently unknown and the data link has been interrupted..."

It seems that the drone was destroyed too suddenly, and not even the last information was transmitted back. Otherwise, if there is time, the drone should automatically upload the flight data, and then we can see what caused the failure. The man-machine was destroyed.

Unable to obtain valid intelligence data, Chen Yang pondered for a while and then ordered: "Have the remaining nine drones immediately turn around and go to the location of drone No. 4."

"Yes, Developer."

Make arrangements as soon as you receive the order.

"Maybe it was destroyed by that monster..."

Chen Yang, who had a guess in mind, didn't feel too sorry for the damage to the drone.

During the anxious wait, time seemed to pass much slower than usual. After a few hours, other drones flying in different directions arrived at the place where drone No. 4 disappeared.

The alien monster that existed before has disappeared at this moment. However, this monster is different from the monster that can fly in that it relies on huge steps to move forward. Therefore, looking down from a distance, several monsters can be seen. The clear traces left behind are clearly visible even at an altitude of thousands of meters.

Following these traces, the drone quickly moved forward. At full speed, within half an hour, it discovered the spider-type alien monster in the distance.

The nine drones transmit back a photo every ten seconds, which is equivalent to a little more than every second. A photo taken from different angles appears on the 100-inch screen in front of Chen Yang for him to view. .

It has to be said that no matter from which angle you look at it, the size of this monster makes people feel a kind of despair. It makes people simply wonder why such a huge body has not been crushed by the gravity of the earth? On the contrary, his actions are full of agility, and his movements are not affected by gravity.

There were so many things that went against scientific common sense that it made Chen Yang feel numb. He followed the alien monster hundreds of meters behind and took hundreds of photos around it. Chen Yang gave Xeon full command. , and see where this monster will go.

He rested for a while and waited until the next day to review the situation again.

Chen Yang was slightly surprised when he saw it. From near Richmond, the monster had traveled hundreds of kilometers and arrived at the border of North Carolina.

By this time, the quality of the photos transmitted back by the drone had dropped a lot, but it did not affect Chen Yang's observation of the monster. The more he learned about the monster's details, the more he attached great importance to it.

"In terms of the shape of this creature, I have never seen a similar type of creature among all the civilized races I know."

Looking at the tens of thousands of photos with his right hand, he pondered: "It looks like a carbon-based life, but also has obvious characteristics of silicon-based life. It's like a fusion of the two. It's really strange."

"Yeah, even you find it difficult..."

Chen Yang sighed: "Now it seems that there is only one best plan... In short, we should not provoke this weird creature, right?"

"...I do think so."

The right hand agreed: "Although this combination of carbon and silicon has great research value, seriously speaking, we currently do not have the strength and ability to capture it, let alone study it. And once it is released These creatures are aware of the cube's existence and are too much of a threat to us to take such a risk."…

"So..." Chen Yang hesitated.

"Withdraw all drones immediately, seal the light film at the same time, and do not open this parallel world without authorization."

The right hand's tone was full of decisiveness.

"Wouldn't this mean abandoning the resources of this parallel world?"

Chen Yang was not very willing, after all, it was a completely equal earth. Not to mention the endless resources it contains, the value of a complete ecological environment suitable for human survival is completely inestimable. If it can be used properly, it will be a new earth!

No matter how you look at it, no matter how you think about it, abandoning this world is an unbearable choice.

"It's not abandonment, it's closure!"

The right hand said: "Adaptive selection is the instinct of high-level creatures. Before we fully understand the origin mutation, it is best not to touch it easily... Now there is an insurmountable creature threatening us, you Do you want to add another sixty-four similar creatures?"

It was okay not to mention the right hand. When Chen Yang mentioned it, he remembered that extremely troublesome thing. Yes, it was not even possible to confirm whether it was a living thing or not, the sealed human-shaped reinforced concrete stone.

As the right hand said, there is already such a huge threat, and it is not a smart decision to touch those strange creatures that seem to be a greater threat.

If something goes wrong, it might involve the entire real world. So what are the consequences?

Chen Yang couldn't imagine that his right hand would definitely not be responsible.

If that were to happen, it would be too late to regret it.

After experiencing so many things, Chen Yang was no longer an indecisive person. After a little hesitation, he finally agreed with his right hand's decision.

Immediately let xeon link to nine drones and let them start returning home on their own.

Although it is a pity, there is nothing we can do about it. Facing this kind of monster with a body that is hundreds of meters high and may be seven or eight hundred meters long, it can destroy a city's "self-propelled nuclear bomb depot" in one go. Don't mess with it rashly. Definitely a smart idea.
