Blackstone Code

At eight o'clock, the deputy director struggled to get up from the bed. He held his forehead and shook his numb arms vigorously.

The two young bodies on the bed made him very relaxed last night!

They have almost no bottom line and no shame to please themselves. This is something the deputy director has never enjoyed before and does not dare to hope for.

But for him now, this is daily life.

As the chief executive of the Space Observation Department, he holds great power in his hands. He can directly decide the work and life of thousands of people, and can indirectly dominate the work and life of tens of thousands or even more people.

So there will always be someone who wants to take a shortcut, or who wants to pay something by avoiding him when he has to make a choice.

It's nothing more than an exchange of bodily fluids, which is exactly the cheapest thing in today's society.

Some old-fashioned people always think that chastity is important, but among young people, sex and doing it have become a social behavior, a means, and a way.

The attitude of young people towards sex is like a hypocritical handshake between adults - when you hold it, you can feel the heat of each other, but once you let go, you will separate without any regrets.

He is adapting to this life.

Glancing at his watch, he walked into the bathroom and took a shower. When he returned to the bed and put on his clothes, he casually took a few bills and placed them on the bedside.

Electronic money is very popular and can be traded face to face without fear of being robbed or lost, so it is rapidly becoming popular.

However, physical currency has not withdrawn from the market because of this. There are always some old guys who have a soft spot for physical currency.

The deputy director returned to the office and began to carry out various tasks on a routine basis. His current main work has three aspects.

First, continue to study the black hole itself and its impact on the solar system.

Second, continue to study the new cosmic environment around the solar system.

Third, observe whether anything enters the solar system and provide timely warning.

Generally speaking, these tasks seem to be very important, but in terms of how important they are... it's not necessarily true.

He spent most of every day observing the stars, which could also be said to be spent in a daze. Of course, he worked very seriously, but this kind of work did not yield immediate results.

As usual, he opened the space telescope's operating interface, observed the monitoring data, found some special nodes, and observed it for a while.

They are all very ordinary pictures. For example, a celestial body blocks a star in the distance during its operation, causing obvious changes in the light source and triggering warning prompts.

This kind of thing happens every day. It was scary at first, but now I'm used to it.

Drinking good coffee, humming songs, and observing the vast universe, this kind of life is great!

The constantly switching pictures made him feel very relaxed, until a photo that appeared last night was enlarged, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Soon several astronomers came to his office. As the most authoritative astronomer in the world, the deputy director is actually not the most powerful in the astronomical academic community.

He was just lucky enough to be the first to mention something to Lynch that got him the job, managing the industry.

Many people in this field are actually not convinced by him, but fortunately they all work for the company. Even if they think the deputy director is a clown like a jester, they still do their best when it comes to their work.

"Look at this, what does it look like?"

The deputy director called his colleagues over, and as they continued to zoom in, the photos began to look pixelated. At the edges of the photos, many long and narrow... meteorite-like things appeared.

But what makes them different from meteorites is that these things all maintain a long strip shape and point in the same direction.

Because the picture is not particularly clear, it is difficult to analyze what it is.

Although the second generation space telescope is technically much more powerful than the first generation, after all, it is only a thing that can see farther away, rather than seeing more detailed things.

The astronomers discussed it for a long time and seemed to have no better answer, so they applied for temporary use rights of the space telescope——

Because the work plan is fixed, what time the space telescope will do every day has been decided.

If you change its direction without authorization, it may cause some changes in subsequent work, so you must apply for changes in subsequent work arrangements.

Even if the applicant is the deputy director, he must go through the process.

Two hours later, the second-generation space telescope pointed at the coordinates where the anomaly was observed. As astronomers held their breath, new and clearer photos were printed out.

"This stuff doesn't look like it's naturally occurring, it doesn't look right."

"Such a long and narrow structure is easily broken by collisions in the universe, and they are very close together. Once there is a celestial body with strong gravity nearby, a collision will inevitably occur between them."

"But it seems that there has been no collision between these things, or their materials are very tough enough to prevent them from deforming or breaking after a collision."

Astronomers are all expressing their opinions. Many people support the view that "these things are not naturally occurring celestial bodies." The existence of aliens is no longer a secret, so no one will find it ridiculous if someone puts forward this view. .

The deputy director kept looking at the newly printed photos and couldn't help but ask a question, "If it is not a naturally occurring celestial body, then what is its target?"

He himself seemed to have realized something because of these words, and his voice became a little sharp, "Calculate their orientation and orientation immediately. I need to know whether they will enter the solar system. In addition, follow-up observations will be suspended. I need you to lock on these celestial bodies." , be sure to find out what they are!”

Then the deputy director chose a few clearer ones and left the office.

Twenty minutes later, he appeared in front of Lynch.

"We just had an important meeting, what would you like to drink?" Lynch asked the deputy director to sit down, and then called the secretary in.

"Just water..." The deputy director just sat down and stood up again. He sent the document bag in his hand to Lin Qi's side, "You should take a look at these."

Lynch opened the document bag and asked, "What's in this?"

The deputy director didn't say anything, and Lynch also realized the seriousness of the problem. After the secretary brought a glass of water, he asked the secretary to lock the door when he left.

Soon, several of the clearest photos of the universe and starry sky were placed on the table, with some areas circled with yellow markers.

After careful observation, Lynch found the problem, "These long strips look unnatural. What are they?"

The deputy director's lips moved, and he was having a fierce struggle in his heart.

After about a few seconds, he said, "I really want to say that I'm not sure what these things are. This is within my blind spot of knowledge. I hope I can look at these things optimistically."

"But...Mr. Lynch, I think they may be alien spacecraft, or probes or something like that."

"There may be one or two celestial bodies of this shape in the natural universe, but they will not appear in such dense groups. I am worried that they may bring disaster to us!"

Lynch scratched his head, "You gave me a difficult problem.", and then lit a cigarette, "If... they are alien spacecraft, how long will it take for them to reach the solar system, and how long will it take for them to reach the Earth? "

The deputy director did not answer immediately, "I have already asked people to make calculations. Now I just hope that their target is not us and they pass by here, but we must be prepared for the worst."

"From what I know about these things, in three years, maybe four years, they will arrive, if they are targeting us."

At this time, the deputy director's armband lit up. It can select work mode or private mode to decide whether it needs to ring when receiving a communication request.

It was a call from astronomers at the observatory. With the help of computers, they calculated the results.

According to the observed position changes from the fragments observed last night to now, their destination is most likely to be the solar system!

"What a terrible news!"

Lynch picked up the phone and said, "Ask Mr. A to come over."

He then looked at the deputy director, "This news needs to be kept secret for the time being. I don't want it to be spread."

The deputy director nodded and said nothing, but it was still a statement.

Lynch couldn't sit still any longer, so he stood up and walked back and forth a few steps before reaching the floor-to-ceiling window.

The daytime scenery of Boupen outside the window was still playing repeatedly. Although he was not standing on a skyscraper, this realistic simulation gave him the illusion that he was really still in Boupen.

After a while, he said to the deputy director without looking back, "Thank you for notifying me in time. You will continue to be responsible for the observation and notify me of any new developments."

The deputy director took the initiative to leave. Lin Qi stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and waited for a long time.

A few minutes later, Mr. A knocked on the door and walked in.

As a new director on the board of directors, and with great power in its hands, it is now enjoying a comfortable life and has become the backbone of the GTO interest group!

It will want to protect the interests of the group from being harmed more strongly than others. If the group is good, it is really good!

"Look at what's on my desk."

Mr. A was a little confused, but he still followed Lynch's request to observe the photos. He didn't understand them very well.

It had no contact with related fields before becoming an Evolver. It may have seen advertisements when it was a child and longed to own an astronomical telescope, but after a harsh blow from the cruel reality, it completely gave up on this immature ambition. idea.

When he was in seventh or eighth grade, that was the last time in his life that he became interested in astronomy.

Lynch threw the cigarette into the trash can, then turned to look at it, "Alien invaders may be coming..."
