Anne was now devastated, she had a premonition.
Suppose alien life is discovered on Mars.
Please note that there are real traces of alien life, and it is very likely that astronauts have come into contact with them and this fact will be exposed.
It will cause a shock to the whole world.
"Wait a minute, Annie, just a moment!"
Teddy exerted his authority as director and banged on the table hard, quieting the conference room filled with endless debate.
But then his tone softened.
"After all, we haven't captured what alien life looks like yet, right?"
"So these buildings just appeared out of nowhere?"
Anne dared to talk back, and Teddy was speechless. After all, he had no reason to explain, so he could only turn to Venkat.
"Cap, how are you sure that Roddy is still alive? I mean, I can't tell the president that one of our astronauts might not be dead and has fallen into the hands of aliens. This would be a huge problem."
"Don't we have enough trouble now?" Venkat asked with a wry smile, speaking without waiting for Teddy to urge him.
"If you were an alien life form, would you go to great lengths over a human corpse and build these huge structures nearby in just a few days?"
"But this doesn't directly prove that Roddy is not dead."
“We have to prepare for the worst possible scenario.”
Venkat realized that he had said the wrong thing at this point, and he changed his words.
"I mean, if alien life exists, why don't they come and communicate with us directly, or maybe they already have a candidate, Rody."
"We need to think of a lot of impossible things. A lot."
Venkat meant that there was too little evidence at hand, so everything might have to be taken into consideration.
"Then why doesn't Roddy contact Earth?" Taylor asked again.
"Maybe the alien life didn't intend for him to contact us so early. Damn, okay, forgive my swearing, but how would I know? This matter has become a big deal now, and I can't figure it out myself."
Teddy nodded. This matter was no longer something NASA could handle on its own.
He straightened his clothes and said nothing more, as he had to catch a plane now.
But before Teddy leaves, this matter needs an explanation.
Anne seized the opportunity to speak.
"So what should we do? According to regulations, NASA should release these images within 24 hours. How can we inform the public?"
"Hello, I have something to tell you. Remember the heroic astronaut Di Luo who died? He may not be dead. And the aliens that everyone has been waiting for appeared at the Ares III mission site?"
"The world will be in an uproar over this, and people will panic."
"Don't announce it for now. Wait until I have consulted the president and the country across the ocean. After they have finished discussing it, they will make the decision."
This was the safest solution Teddy could think of.
As for the rules...the rules don't specify how to get along with alien life if you encounter them.
Teddy walked to the door, put his hands on the handrail, and remembered something.
"Besides, is there anyone who knows anything about this, even a little bit?"
"There were only people from the security department. I called them to ask for Director Wen...Kapp's emergency contact information." Mindy said timidly, raising her hand.
"Well, before this matter has a conclusion, please do not leave the office, do not have any contact with the outside world, and do not reveal any information. Do you understand what I mean?"
Teddy looked serious.
"certainly.."
Wait until everyone nodded.
Teddy then breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
...
A storm began to brew quietly.
after an hour.
An emergency meeting was held at the White House, and the President and his staff discussed the matter all night until dawn.
Then a video call was made to the other side of the ocean.
Afterwards, all the satellites of various countries on Mars started moving, with their cameras pointing at one target.
A few hours later again.
The five countries participating in the Mars project sounded the alarm and imposed martial law at the same time.
The move came suddenly.
There was a lot of discussion in society, but the top leaders of various countries all kept silent and did not make any response.
Not even a single word was leaked, which means that all the participants in this incident are under close surveillance and blockade.
A large number of scientists were hit and, after hastily saying goodbye to their families, they were sent to a hidden location.
The tension is brewing.
Countless people want to know what happened that caused the most powerful countries on the planet to sound the highest alert.
Until another week passed.
It was only at a joint press conference held in New York that some of the answers were revealed to the people.
Chapter 289: We spent so much money and supported so many people, but they are just eating for free?
Just when the whole world was shaking because of Roddy.
What is he doing now?
He was eating some mushy, sticky space food, sitting at a fixed table, watching an emergency press conference on TV with boredom.
It was a press conference held jointly in New York by the governments of various countries participating in the Mars project.
Hundreds of well-known media from various countries were invited to report on the event.
It was quite grand and mysterious.
Look!
Even Roddy, who was far away on Mars, knew the news.
NASA has something big to announce, so I sat in front of the TV on time to watch the show.
Well...it's the same as eating your own melon.
To be honest, Roddy really wanted to see what the countries would say, continue to conceal, and clarify the rumors?
Or spread the word about what happened on Mars?
After thinking about it, Roddy felt that they would not choose either option because both arguments were untenable.
So it is very likely that they are using news that is 70% true and 30% false to cover up part of the truth.
Sure enough, he was right.
...
new York
The scene of NASA's press conference.
As the spokesperson for this press conference, Anne was very nervous. She had layers of sweat on her forehead and had to touch up her makeup again and again.
Even though I had taken two tranquilizers, I couldn't stop my heart from pounding.
After all, the news she was about to announce to billions of people around the world would be the worst death since the Mars program was implemented and in the history of NASA.
Anne knew that this press conference would go down in human history.
In the future, this press conference will be read by countless people.
Her every move, every movement of her arms, every murmur of her voice, every change of expression will be studied over and over again by tens of millions of people or even more.
Oh my goodness.
"Calm down, calm down Annie, you can do this."
And if she was telling the truth, that would be fine, but she also concealed some facts from the public, or even falsified them. Needless to say, how much criticism she will face in the future.
But can Anne refuse?
This would be the stage and opportunity that many journalists dream of.
Known by billions of people around the world?
Although she really wanted to rush into Director Teddy's office, slam the table and yell at him that she quit.
But now Teddy seems unable to decide whether to stay or go. As early as a week ago, Anne was transferred to a joint emergency handling team hastily set up by various countries.
Maybe she will have to go to the White House and bang on the President's desk to get him to resign?
I was thinking about this for a long time.
Anne received a notice that she was going to go on stage, which made her heart, which had just cleared her mind and calmed down, become nervous again.
But it’s okay—she’s a professional.
"Annie, go shock the eyes of those sons of bitches!"
...
The scene of the joint press conference.
Hundreds of cameras were pointed at the central podium.
Countless pairs of eyes are staring at this place, and those who can come here are all from the top news media in various countries.
Although I don't know what happened.
However, the keen insight of journalists has long been familiar with this atmosphere of impending storm.
