"Immediately have the police seal off the entire launch pad, put on protective suits and go up to the detector to see what's going on. Suspend all operations on the second floor of the observation tower and put it on high alert!" Jiang Cheng issued the order decisively.
Some researchers waited in the room, while others followed Jiang Cheng into the corridor and headed toward the idle probe on the launch pad.
The young man following behind the crowd felt his heart pounding like a drum.
Having just attended the movie screening, he naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Cheng's order.
The question raised by Team Leader Jiang was like a bucket of cold water poured over the heads of all the researchers, completely overshadowing the joy of the brain-like detector successfully escaping the dimension of death and bringing back the videotape.
Amidst the turmoil of emotions, none of us could remain completely calm.
Is it possible that the insect, which resembles an ant, a longhorn beetle, and has some characteristics of a cockroach, came to the planet's surface with the probe?
If that were the case, humanity would face its first invasion by an alien species, which would undoubtedly be an extremely terrifying prospect.
Footsteps thumped loudly. The security force on the second floor of the observation tower was certainly very strong, because there were too many outstanding researchers here. To ensure their safety, the United States initially deployed a fairly strong group of police officers.
They arrived at the armory on the basement level, entered methodically, and equipped themselves with flamethrowers, automatic rifles, sniper rifles, grenades, and other weapons before rushing to the surface without stopping.
The highest alert order for Jiangcheng was undoubtedly transmitted extremely quickly. The entire observation building was filled with piercing alarms, and some researchers who were still working were sternly told not to leave their rooms and to stay quietly.
They could see the view below through the window.
A large number of police officers poured out from the exit on the first floor. They carefully guarded both sides, clearing a smooth road for the key figures in this operation to walk along.
Their expressions were extremely solemn.
"What happened? Why did the alarm go off?"
"I don't know! Look below!"
"Team Leader Jiang, I see Team Leader Jiang..."
"Didn't the neuromorphic probe just return to Earth not long ago?"
Suspicion immediately filled the minds of these researchers who were unaware of what had happened.
When Jiang Cheng walked out from the first floor, he immediately looked at the detector that stood like a steel giant, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
He is now preparing for the worst-case scenario: if that thing does indeed attach itself to the probe and travels back with it, it will reveal an extremely chilling truth.
These insects are undoubtedly capable of blocking detector signals, but they didn't do so. What does that mean?
This suggests that they may be conscious, intelligent beings.
The purpose is to send the probe back, thereby achieving the goal of entering the Earth's surface.
A large group of well-dressed, handsome police officers, armed with guns, stood at the forefront. They were well-trained and solemn, waiting for Jiang Cheng's order.
"Be careful, report any issues immediately, and send a few people to investigate."
"Yes, sir!" the officer in charge of the police force replied.
He gave a signal, and the nearly two hundred people immediately formed a circle, completely surrounding the detector.
The body that the brain-like organism used—this detector—stands here quietly, without a sound coming from inside. It is eerily quiet, as if it were an inanimate object and there was nothing hidden inside.
However, this deathly silence... seemed somewhat eerie.
The researchers and senior members of the team watched the police officers' movements without blinking. Professor Busch, who was nearly eighty years old and had experienced all kinds of storms, was actually a little nervous at this moment.
After all, this event is unprecedented for all of humanity.
Professor Busi has never had any experience dealing with such matters before.
In the brief moment, someone clenched their fist and realized that their palms were covered in cold sweat. The group included many young people, who were even more nervous.
So nervous that they involuntarily looked towards the center, standing at the very front, their habitual gaze fixed on the heart of the entire observation building.
Jiang Cheng stood there, his face expressionless, only very serious!
Upon seeing him, these people felt somewhat at ease.
In fact, no matter what the situation, as long as the leader doesn't fall, they remain a unified force. But if the leader falls, the army immediately crumbles.
Throughout history, no one has failed to understand this principle.
The police captain gave his subordinates a wink, and after countless rehearsals, the two men beside him immediately understood. While the majority of officers remained stationary, only these two cautiously ventured forward.
Their steps were steady, their eyes were stern, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
At the windows of the observation building, the staff watched this scene with bated breath.
There were more than two hundred police officers around the detector.
At the entrance to the building, more than 100 meters away, next to the sliding rails, Jiang Cheng and a group of researchers were also looking at the same scene.
All eyes were focused on these two people.
If someone had captured this scene, even those who see it in the future would likely have been able to experience the tense atmosphere of these people on the front lines of the resistance against the invasion, and of this very scene!
