Speaking of the Planetary Defense Council, we have to mention the series of ETO intelligence that the United Nations designed to attack Judgment Day during Operation Guzheng.

In the year 2007 in this world on the Earth plane, the United Nations learned about the existence of the Trisolaran civilization in the process of combating the Earth terrorist organization, that is, the Trisolaran organization ETO.

Subsequently, by deciphering the communication records between the Earth's Trisolaran Organization and the Trisolaran Civilization, the United Nations learned for the first time the fact that Sophon had arrived on Earth and locked down humankind's basic scientific research, and learned that Sophon was conducting all-round monitoring of mankind.

, and learned the horrifying truth that thousands of Trisolaran space fleets are heading towards the solar system!

As a result, the era of crisis has arrived, and mankind has begun to fall into panic...

However, the governments of various countries have become unprecedentedly united because of this. Therefore, under the framework of the United Nations, the Earth established the Planetary Defense Council, also known as the PDC, which is responsible for researching countermeasures and all things that deal with the invasion of the Trisolaran civilization. Subsequently, the Era of Crisis

With the official start, space forces from various countries and continents have been established one after another, and the Star Project, Wall Face Project, etc. have begun to enter the process or be launched.

Anyway!

Although human beings in this period still have many conflicts and internal strife, their mutual unity and efficiency in certain Trisolaran affairs are also obvious to all!

Isn’t this?

That night, Annie was safely escorted by several armed helicopters and hundreds of security forces from the Earth Defense and Security Department under the PDC Planetary Defense Directorate to a place hundreds of kilometers away from N City in the deep mountains and old forests.

There is also a garden villa protected by a military base, which is basically isolated from most interference from the outside world.

The place was very beautiful and quiet. It seemed that it was originally a summer resort for some bureaucrats, and it was built like a 5A-level scenic spot, or even more advanced. In the garden, which did not look obtrusive or artificial at all,

There are only a few buildings in the oriental Jiangnan classical garden style scattered among them.

However, although it looks like a Jiangnan classical garden-style building from the outside, its interior has been modernized. In addition to its ancient charm, it also contains Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and other philosophies, religious thoughts and traditional arts such as landscape poetry and painting.

In addition, it also has everything that modern social life should have. Even WIFI is fully covered and 6G level. The comfort, convenience and technological level of life are definitely far superior to those high-end communities in first-tier cities.

!

Of course, those are not important. What is important is that Anne was escorted here.

Afterwards, she became the only 'guest' in this group of garden villas in the mountains. Not only that, she also enjoyed a meal that night prepared by the top Jiangsu cuisine masters in the country.

It can be called the most luxurious Jiangsu cuisine feast in the country, and it is definitely the kind that cannot be found in hotels and restaurants outside?

In response to this, a certain troubled little girl fell into trouble that night.

Then she no longer felt the dissatisfaction she felt when she was delivered just now, as if she was being 'imprisoned' by the other party, and she directly stated that as long as there was delicious food every day, and as long as the styles were not repeated and she would not get bored,

Is it okay to let her stay there for three to five years?

Later, when a senior leader of the Earth Defense and Security Department of the PDC Planetary Defense Council named "Uncle Chang" hurried to the place by helicopter and talked to her, she was in an extremely happy mood and readily agreed. Then the other party asked

She said whatever was asked of her, and she also said what the other party didn't ask. She even said it in more detail than what she told Uncle Shi at that time. She directly revealed everything the other party wanted to know and might want to know.

Anyway!

What the two parties talked about is unknown to outsiders, but anyway, the secret conversation between the two lasted for more than an hour, and then it had to end in a hurry.

Next!

The party was just as expected by Captain Shi, who was currently in charge of security work. He didn't even have time to stay for a casual meal, but just returned with that shocked and silent expression and kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

Action got into the helicopter he came from and flew away in a hurry.

Then that night, the PDC Planetary Defense Council held a very high-level meeting overnight, and several council executives from different countries around the world entered a shielded room.

That shielded room prohibits the operation of any electronic equipment. The indoor furnishings are minimalist. It is constructed using dark metal materials and certain strong magnetic fields that can affect sophons. It has extremely high sealing properties. It is said that it can effectively prevent the intrusion of sophons?

However, whether that shielding technology is truly effective remains to be verified.

But at present, it is the only response strategy for human beings when faced with the sophon surveillance of Trisolarans.

Because various data show that it may indeed provide a certain degree of protection, so that certain secret activities and conversations conducted in the shielded room will not be monitored by the three-body sophons?

Of course, it's also possible that Sophon detected it, but just didn't bother to respond or react?

But no matter what, the top brass of the PDC Planetary Defense Directorate can't control that much at the moment. After all, the situation is urgent. Therefore, even if the shielding room may not be completely shielded, they have no better choice.

After the PDC security personnel passed all the inspections on all attendees, the meeting officially started.

"Both directors, please come here overnight. I deeply apologize!"

"but……"

"In view of the seriousness of the situation, there is no room for any further delay, and many process etiquettes can only be put aside for the time being. I hope you will understand."

"Please read the introduction first!"

"As for the detailed process of the meeting and the final consensus and conclusion, I will personally compile it into a detailed report and then submit it to our secretary-general for review."

“Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!”

Facing the directors of the PDC Planetary Defense Council who entered the dark conference room and took their seats, the 'Uncle Chang' who had just talked to Annie a few hours ago did not rush to speak, but gestured to everyone present.

First look at the A4 paper on their respective desktops.

After all, this meeting was held at short notice. Except for him, no one else present knew what happened before they came here. Therefore, the necessary introduction and process are undoubtedly indispensable, otherwise

I'm afraid the directors present wouldn't understand what he was going to say next.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Hearing this, the directors didn't say anything. They just looked at each other and then each picked up the A4 paper on their desk that was handwritten in the language of their respective countries and read the contents at a glance.

soon!

As predicted by Director Chang who had talked to Annie before, everyone present looked solemn after seeing the content on the A4 paper and looking at him in shock and confirming that it was not a joke.

He continued to look down hastily.

Next!

It probably took less than five minutes for everyone to finish reading, and without exception, none of the executive directors had a relaxed expression. They all looked more or less shocked, solemn, thinking, scared or...

It's some other complex emotions that are inexplicable.

"Mr. Chang, are you sure..."

"Isn't this a joke?"

At this time, one of the directors, who had well-groomed short brown hair, a hooked nose, and deep eyes, raised the A4 paper and asked with a frown.

Although he knew that no one at their level would have the heart to joke about the things written above at this time, he still shook the piece of paper in disbelief and felt very unbelievable.

"Your Excellency, you know me."

"You think I'm the kind of person who likes to joke around?"

Faced with the doubt, the standing director didn't say much. He just looked at Garning, who was the rotating chairman of the PDC Planetary Defense Council, and asked with a wry smile.

"..."

Nodding, the rotating chairman Garnin fell silent, and then signaled to the standing director he had just named that he could continue the meeting.

Because Director Chang Weisichang is not an ordinary person. In addition to working part-time in the PDC, he is also the commander of the Asian Space Force. It is impossible for a person with such an identity to have time to joke with them on this kind of thing.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

After seeing that even the rotating chairman had no objections to the content, the other directors and PDC executives had nothing to say. They just put down the papers in their hands, then looked up at Director Chang Weisi, and said

Wait for the other party to officially start.

"Everyone!"

"If there are no problems, then I will start."

"I shouldn't have taken over this matter originally, but..."

"Shi Qiang was my original subordinate, and I was the top leader of the Space Force in Asia. Therefore, after he came into contact with the target and realized the seriousness of the matter, he had no better choice, so he had no choice but to contact him directly.

Me."

"Of course, these things are no longer important right now. What is important is what I am going to say next. You can listen to it, but you cannot record it..."

Having said this, Chang Weisi stopped, then glanced at the senior officials of the PDC Planetary Defense Council of various countries present, and then said slowly:

"I have been in contact with the target person a few hours ago."

"After dialogue and understanding, I found that the matter is basically consistent with what Shi Qiang reported to me, and what I personally verified and wrote on the paper!"

"That little girl, that Anne Hastur, is indeed an alien, because our PDC really couldn't find any information about her. It's like she appeared in N City out of thin air. It's very weird?"

"So, apart from her own statement that she was an alien, I really can't think of any other more reasonable explanation."

"She also said that she came through a time and space portal, which is the kind of portal in our science fiction movies. Anyway, an old man like me can't understand it."

"But what is certain is that she did not lie, and there is no need to lie. At the same time, I did not see that she lied..."

"According to her statement, she comes from the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu Sector, which is located at the end of a spiral arm of the Milky Way, but it is not our universe, but a galaxy in another dimension universe?"

"To be honest, when I heard this, I was scared..."

"We can't even deal with the Trisolarans. We feel extremely hopeless even when facing the Trisolarans. We even feel helpless when facing the sophons sent to Earth by the Trisolarans. Now what can we do to fight against someone from another universe?

What about the extraterrestrial forces in the galaxy?”

"You know, it has teleportation and interdimensional technology. What kind of existence is that?"

"Anyway, I can't imagine it, nor can I understand it..."

"If we can still understand the technology of the Trisolarans and once felt extremely desperate, then now we are facing that little alien girl and the hero of the Koprulu sector who has the ability to teleport across planes.

Federation, I only feel the despair that is 10,000 times, 100 million times stronger than when I faced the Trisolarans!"

"I can even somewhat understand how a large number of theoretical scientists felt when they committed suicide in the early years of the Crisis Era."

"In their opinion at that time, when they knew about the existence of sophons, physics might really be dead..."

"And now, when I learned about the little girl's situation, I was almost so desperate that I wanted to give up everything, even my own life?"

"Because everything about us is no longer within our control..."

Having said this, Chang Weisi stopped and looked at the people present at the meeting with a bitter look on his face, as if he was recalling his despair and helplessness at that time.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The people present, including Garnin, the rotating chairman of the PDC Planetary Defense Council, and several senior men and women had no intention of speaking. They just sat silently in their respective positions, watching and waiting with solemn expressions.

Chang Weisi continued.

Because they obviously all know that if the other party summons them here for a meeting overnight, it will definitely not be as simple as complaining and demoralizing them, making them more desperate and collapsed.

“But it’s okay!”

"As our communication continued, I finally learned some things from the little girl Annie that made me less desperate."

"And one of them is good news and the other is bad news that's not bad news?"

As he said that, Chang Weisi subconsciously glanced at Garnin, the rotating chairman of the PDC Planetary Defense Council, and saw that the other party raised his hand impatiently to signal him to continue quickly. He paused again and then changed his expression.

He continued with a more relaxed expression:

"The good news is..."

"Strictly speaking, that little girl alien is probably not an alien, because according to her, one of the races in the three-race council of the Federation of Heroes in the Koprulu Sector is also a human race, just like her.

Human?"

"Or, are we all human beings like us?"

"Although their star sector does have colonial behaviors and habits, she said that she has no bad ideas, and she will not want to directly destroy us and occupy the earth like the Trisolarans?"

"And, she seems willing to help us..."

"Maybe..."

"Is it an opportunity for us?"

"Of course, I am not a capitulator, and I have no intention of surrendering, but..."

"After all, we are all human beings, and the other party's political system is not like the Trisolaran people who cannot communicate and negotiate. If that doesn't work, maybe we can try to test and have in-depth contact?"

Having said this, Chang Weisi stopped and then looked at the participants who had begun to whisper.

"this!"

"You mean, you are asking us to surrender voluntarily?"

"!!"

"How is that possible?"

"No, that may not be what Mr. Chang thinks."

"Then what he means is..."

"We could try to join each other?"

"Or, use the other party to fight against the three-body problem?"

"ha?"

"You think a being of that level could be that stupid?"

"But you have to try, right?"

"Indeed, that is better than the despair of watching human beings being destroyed by the Trisolarans and being unable to do anything about it?"

"But……"

"I'm worried that people don't like us at all?"

"I wouldn't even look down on you!"

"If the other party really has that kind of strength, our earth in the eyes of the other party will be similar to the cavemen in our eyes!"

"Isn't that true?"

"We are all human beings, even though they are from different planes of the universe..."

"As for that!"

"Maybe even worse?"

"..."

"besides!"

"That little girl, how did she come to Earth?"

"Can she represent that sector?"

"I'm afraid Mr. Chang doesn't fully understand these questions, right?"

"That is to say..."

"Do we need to first find out the identity of the little alien girl, her purpose of coming, her true purpose, and determine the authenticity of what she said?"

"It is indeed necessary to conduct systematic demonstration and verification, and not to jump to conclusions easily!"

"But if it's true, maybe..."

"Can the wall-facing plan be cancelled?"

"No!"

“Cannot cancel!”

"The wall-facing plan is now at its final stage. It is absolutely impossible to cancel it at this time!"

"Besides, Mr. Chang's matter has not been verified, so I don't agree!"

"I object too!"

"That's right..."

"..."

"..."

"cough--!"

"Everyone, please keep quiet!"

"alright!"

"Mr. Chang, let's break the bad news first..."

Fortunately, before the high-level officials of the PDC from different countries could continue to argue and discuss, the rotating chairman Garnin spoke up and signaled Director Chang Weisi, who had brought the indeed incredible news, to continue.

"The bad news is..."

"That mass effect, that is, the technology that you just saw in the report that may be enough for us to defeat the Trisolarans, the other party can indeed provide it to us, and the price we pay is also very simple, just unlimited food, drink and fun

Just satisfy the other person and that’s it.”

As soon as Chang Weisi said this, he was interrupted by the rotating chairman Garnin.

"Infinite satisfaction..."

"What does it mean?"

Obviously, he didn't seem to understand that request.

"Literally."

"In other words, she can be satisfied with whatever she wants to eat, what she wants to play, and where she wants to go?"

Chang Weisi spoke directly without being verbose, and explained the current treatment they were giving to the little girl and the attitude that the other party seemed to be very satisfied with.

"That's easy!"

"Our future Wall Facers will also have that kind of authority. Since she needs it, just give her some resources. If she just wants to eat, drink and have fun, it will be much less than what the Wall Facer Plan requires."

"Then what?"

"When will the other party give you that mass effect technology?"

The rotating chairman Garning nodded and felt that it was not too easy, so he hurriedly continued to ask.

"That's why I just said it was bad news!"

"The other party said that the technology can be provided at any time!"

"but……"

"That thing is also the reason why Tomoko assassinated her. If she gave it to us, we would definitely not be able to keep it with our current abilities. Tomoko will definitely know it soon. By then, the Trisolarans will also have obtained that technology, and then between the skills and skills of both parties, we will not be able to keep it.

If there is a serious imbalance in production capacity, is it likely that we will die faster?"

"so……"

"The current situation is: Even if the other party is willing to give it to us, we don't dare to ask for it?"

"This is the reason why I suggested before that we consider contacting the opponent's Nakpuru star sector. Because under the current situation, without external intervention, even if we have the technology provided by the opponent, we cannot keep it, and we don't even have time to develop it?"

After saying that, Chang Weisi slumped his shoulders and sighed in a somewhat dumbfounded manner.

If it were other technologies, it might not matter. After all, it would take three to four hundred years for the Trisolaris to reach the solar system and the Earth. But if the various applications of the 'mass effect' written in the report are true, once they get their hands on it

, I am afraid that Sophon and the Trisolarans will also get it at the same time. Then, the other party's spaceship will reach the earth at super-light speed and destroy them soon.

But for that situation, they still have nothing to do!

"So that's it!"

"I see."

Nodding, Rotating Chairman Garnin said he understood, and also understood Chang Weisi's concerns, because that was indeed a fact!

For Tomoko, they really don't have any good solutions at the moment. He can't even guarantee whether the content of the current meeting discussion has been 'seen' or 'heard' by the other party, because the facts are so frustrating and desperate.

"Mr. Chang!"

"And Lord Garning..."

"I'm skeptical about that little girl!"

"We can't guarantee whether the other party is a human being. Maybe it's an alien monster wearing human skin?"

"In fact..."

"If I hadn't known that Trisolarans can't lie, I would have doubted whether it was a Trisolaran conspiracy!"

"Ha ha!"

"The Trisolaran fleet is already on its way, they don't need any tricks!"

"I'm a little skeptical too..."

"The power of technology is not something you and I can imagine. After all, it is the existence that controls the plane space gate..."

"Indeed, the power of technology is beyond imagination. Since the power behind the little girl can control the plane space gate, its ability is far beyond our knowledge. If you really want to destroy us, why lie?"

"whispering sound!"

"Who knows the truth?"

"But!"

"Even if the other party didn't lie, he is still an alien after all, and his intentions are unpredictable. We have to be on guard!"

"Anyway!"

"I strongly recommend that you should proceed with caution and not act rashly!"

"It's important to be cautious, but when faced with possible opportunities, we can't be choking and miss them!"

"I still don't think she can be trusted!"

"If we believe she is dependent on her, then what is the difference between us and ETO?"

"There is a difference!"

"Trisolaris will kill us all, but maybe that sector won't?"

"You also know it's 'possible'?"

"..."

In this way, soon, the high-level PDC officials from various countries participating in the meeting began to have heated discussions and debates about whether aliens should be believed, the identity of the little alien girl Annie, and whether the information provided by the other party was true.

.

As for whether they can get results, or what kind of results they get, it is still unknown.
