Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 164: Contact
"There's definitely something wrong with that!"
There was a heated debate in the conference room, and a think tank member in a suit frowned and said: "The Alskalisan people claim that they are forced to use the stargate to send a distress signal because of the chronic water shortage and the gradual death of the members of the tribe. .
But from the information we have at hand, the door holders on Earth are all high-level superhumans who have participated in the battle for the door,
Every time they open the door and use the door to deliver supplies, they consume their own energy.
In other words, those who can use the door are at least mid-level and high-level players.
The Alskalisan claim that they discovered and activated the stargate in the secret laboratory of an ancient civilization,
This creates two possibilities.
One, an extraordinary person among the Alskalisan people, bound the star gate and used it.
In this possibility,
The superhuman must be able to afford to open and maintain the stargate, which means that his strength is very considerable.
Such an extraordinary person can completely buy props and materials in the mall to help the ethnic group live.
Clearly does not match the description of the Alskalisan in the letter for help.
Two, there is a difference between a stargate and a door,
Perhaps there is no clear superhuman to pay the toll, or there are energy devices left over from ancient civilizations in the laboratory that maintains the stargate.
However, this theory also clearly lacks relevant evidence.
I think the Alskalisan claims are very dubious. "
"I agree with Academician Qian's idea."
Another think tank member nodded and said, "During the first exchange, the other party delivered a portion of pure water,
The comrades of GRU have dropped pebbles, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and living familiars into the star gate.
However, the things thrown in are like mud cows entering the sea, and there is no response at all.
In other words, the things that were put in the past were captured, captured, and held by the Alskalisan people.
This is enough to prove that the Alskalisan people are very aware of the basic principle of the initial negotiation between the two unknown civilizations, which is to protect their own information.
However, after a few hours, they delivered another dictionary, expressing their willingness to negotiate.
Aren't they afraid of us on the other side of the stargate, and hostile to them?
Why did you let go of your guard so easily?
You must know that the items delivered by the GRU comrades in the past also strictly abide by the rules of the Global Occult Alliance issued to the officials of the unknown civilization negotiation,
To the greatest extent, it can protect the information of human civilization from being leaked.
How do they know that Earthlings are friendly and willing to help them?
In the first few hours, I was extra careful not to reveal any information,
Why are you exposing yourself to be short, and directly saying that there are fewer than 10,000 people on their planet, and the information on the age of civilization?
This is obviously counterintuitive. "
In the conference room, everyone fell into contemplation,
If the Alskalisan people are really caught in the predicament that the mountains and rivers are exhausted and the ethnic group is about to die, it is indeed possible to give up their vigilance and ask the earth for help,
The problem is, it's too fast.
According to the previous conjectures of the think tanks, the negotiations between two unknown civilizations must be full of endless trials, doubts, and suspicions.
Even if the Alskalisan people are extremely dehydrated and at stake,
It's been over for hundreds of years, and it's not a few days away from slowly negotiating with the Earth.
There were discussions in the conference room. After the stone distress letter was sent, there was no movement on the side of the stargate, and no items were delivered from the earth side.
"...if it's just 5,000 aliens to live in, we can totally help them out.
You can start by delivering a stone letter telling them our thoughts and concerns,
Wait until the reply, and then deliver a small amount of pure water to the star gate to meet the other party's survival needs..."
In the conference room, Balalaika, the representative of the GRU department, discussed with the representatives of the other two parties in a hoarse voice.
Han Shui Shi noticed Li Ang, who was listening to their discussions with great interest, and turned his head politely: "Mr. Li, do you have any comments?"
"Me?"
Li Ang waved his hand casually and said, "This has nothing to do with me.
However, don't you have to enter the Stargate yourself in the end anyway?
If the people of Alskalisan are really as the letter says, there is no way out, there is no way out,
Then at the same time as the earth completes the rescue of the remaining Alskalisan people, it can also take advantage of the situation to occupy their entire planet.
The relics of ancient civilizations and legacy technologies can be re-excavated and reverse cracked,
And there is absolutely no need to pay for the kill game.
Such a huge wealth, GRU, the Global Occult Alliance and the Special Affairs Bureau will not give up, and will definitely invest in mining.
Now that the results have been determined, the discussion seems redundant. "
“…”
Hanshuishi and Balalaika and the others looked at each other and continued to ask, "What if the Alskalisan lied?"
"There are two reasons for lying, profit and fear."
Li Ang said casually: "I can't imagine the other party's reasonable fear,
However, one thing is certain, as long as the venue for the negotiation between the two sides is set in the other side's world, the potential losses can be minimized. "
"You mean, go directly to the other party's planet to negotiate?"
Hanshuishi groaned and turned to look at Balalaika.
The latter bowed his head and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Then let's implement the new plan.
The tech department is going to make a new slate letter telling them we'll be sending someone through the gate with enough water and information recording devices,
Negotiate in more detail in their world. "
"Send humans over?"
Someone in the decision-making level wondered: "Will this be too risky?
Different from scripted missions, the scripted worlds are screened by the killing game, and there are few dangerous elements after teleportation.
But a stargate is a completely different concept.
Behind the stargate, there may be deadly viruses, bacteria, parasites, and even memetic infections. "
"It's not really living people passing by, but taking advantage of this."
Balalaika pulls a small tin box of chewing gum from her pocket.
【Name: Capable People Work More Chewing Gum】
[Type: Consumables]
【Quality: Perfect】
【Special effect: After chewing gum, the user can blow air on the gum to create a avatar with blurred details. The avatar does not have self-consciousness, and is remotely controlled by the user, which will transmit perception to the user. The stand-in consumes 15% of the user's energy, has 10% of the user's attack power, and takes 320% of the damage. The user can remotely make the avatar self-destruct, the maximum duration of the avatar is 1 hour, and it will be destroyed after receiving excessive damage]
【Conditions of use: none】
[Note: A user can have multiple gum substitutes, but multiple substitutes that exist at the same time may confuse the user's thinking]
[Remarks: The gum avatar can talk and communicate, but cannot use equipment, props, and skills]
【Note: In the future, some companies will take the initiative to buy this chewing gum and distribute it to employees. Increase the productivity of each employee without paying more for labor. As for the ability to work hard will not make employees suffer from split personality? This is not within the scope of the company's consideration]
Balalaika shook off the small tin box of chewing gum with the green plastic wrap, and said, "The dummy created by this prop is a simple chewing gum dummy,
The user can feel the feeling of the avatar, but the trauma, pain, brainwashing, control effects, memetic infection, etc. suffered by the avatar will not be transmitted to the user, and it is absolutely harmless.
We can let some superhumans use chewing gum substitutes,
Superman himself stayed where he was,
The chewing gum stand-ins bring water into the star gate, where they negotiate with alien civilizations.
Even if the negotiation breaks down, it will not hurt the extraordinary,
Instead, it can figure out the specific intentions of the Alskalisan. "
Huh?
Li Ang glanced at the small iron box in surprise. The prop in Balalaika's hand was very similar to the [Stupid Golem] prop that Li Ang had seen from the epidemic doctor when he first debuted. /
However, in terms of special effects, the perfect quality [Duo Lao Chewing Gum] has undoubtedly overwhelmed the rare quality [Stupid Golem].
With this prop, it can indeed protect the personal safety of the messenger and the information security of human civilization to the greatest extent.
As the host, Balalaika made a decision, and the others said nothing more,
Each department performed its own duties, and in accordance with Balalaika's instructions, everything was quickly prepared.
A stone letter was delivered to the Stargate, informing the Alskalisan that a mission would be dispatched from Earth to request reception.
Alskalisan, after a few minutes of silence, delivered a letter in stone, expressing agreement.
After finalizing all of this, the tripartite organization selected a team of 20 messengers,
Among them are Balalaika, Hanshuishi, Bai Haozheng,
Li Ang was also invited to participate - on the grounds that Li Ang was well-informed and could help with negotiations,
Of course, the underlying reason is that Li Ang also has a door by himself, and his understanding of the door is much deeper than that of ordinary people.
"Cold mint flavored with xylitol."
Li Ang chewed a block of chewing gum at random, and like everyone else present, blew a huge round balloon.
The balloon shrunk and solidified rapidly in the air,
The contours of the body surface of the respective users are gradually formed.
Because the [Able Gum] has been certified by the Killing Game System, there is no need to worry about the emergence of self-consciousness, self-doubt and doubt about the meaning of life as a substitute for chewing gum.
When everything is ready,
A group of messengers, with tons of water in metal buckets,
In the limelight, stepped into the star gate.
——————
When I opened my eyes again, everyone was already standing on a platform,
This looks like a long-abandoned central laboratory area,
You can see broken stones everywhere, and dusty scientific instruments with unknown functions.
Cracks in the floor, purple weeds everywhere,
The lab dome was cracked, and a dark red light shone down from the gap in the dome and enveloped everyone.
Li Ang looked back and saw that the star gate was located in the center of the circular platform of the laboratory,
There are dusty cables extending out of nowhere around the platform,
And the stargate body is still lit with red and black swirling lights.
"They are coming."
Bai Hao's repressed voice sounded beside him, Li Ang turned his head and saw a pair of eyes light up in the seemingly dim corner of the laboratory,
A group of lurking Alskalisan emerge from the darkness.
As described in dictionaries and letters, this group of alien species grown under the light of red dwarf stars has a similar body structure to humans,
The head, torso, limbs, and facial features are all very similar.
Only the skin is lighter, and there is no hair - probably because the sun is weak, hair is not needed, and melanin is not easily produced.
The Alskalisan people who appeared in the laboratory should be the expedition of their tribe,
Everyone is clothed in leather, with blades, spears, and simple crossbows made of iron pipes in their hands, in the style of a doomsday wanderer.
However, there are also some people who hold near-future weapons that are old and broken, but similar to the level of Earth's technology, or even slightly beyond.
Having friendly negotiation with aliens is not Li Ang's specialty,
He and Bai Hao were silent, watching the language and anthropology experts in the messenger team walk out of the team and engraved on the stone plates they brought - this linguist is an extraordinary person of the Global Occult Alliance, just now Has cracked and mastered the language of the Alskalisan,
Although I don't know how to pronounce it yet, I can communicate through text.
The group of Alskalisan on the opposite side also sent a representative who seemed to be the oldest. The two sides wrote letters to each other and passed messages.
"The scripted world is not an alien planet, so strictly speaking, this should be the first time that humans on Earth have established diplomatic relations with a clear extraterrestrial civilization."
Li Ang said in a relaxed tone: "We are the first group of Earth delegations to engage in the third type of contact?
In the past, it was able to be broadcast on global television for a month without a replacement human hero. "
In order to avoid information leakage,
Earth delegations communicated with each other in another exceptionally rare language, the Old Norse language of the indigenous Chamicuro tribe of South America.
"No, according to the new blue book plan of the Global Occult Coalition, we should now be considered a fifth type of contact."
Bai Haozheng said softly: "That is, more advanced human civilizations use friendly information to directly contact alien civilizations.
While this is nothing to cheer about,
These Alskalisan people... are indeed relatively backward ~IndoMTL.com~ The alien human beings in front of them, in appearance, look like primitive tribes who are still living a hunter-gatherer life on Earth,
But Li Ang can still find some clues in the minutiae.
Like humans, age can be shown by appearance,
Most of this group are adults, a small number of young and old,
It shows that their ethnic age structure is relatively healthy, and middle-aged people with rich field exploration experience have a higher probability of survival.
At the same time, the hunting weapons in their hands prove that they will look for edible meat-bearing animals in the ruins of the city,
And those near-future weapons show that this group of aliens still retains some of the maintenance and care capabilities of ancient technology, and they cannot really be treated as primitive tribes that know nothing.
Li Ang watched the negotiation between the representative teams of the two sides with a cold eye, and gradually pieced together the panorama of the alien civilization, or the alien race in his mind.
