Wandering Spaceship in Deep Space Chapter 241: Ice Breaking Journey
The issue of cooperation between the two parties needs to be considered very carefully. Li Zhendong took the lead to stand up and questioned: "I have no objection to contact and negotiation between civilizations, but the most important thing is safety. After we provide what the other party is trying to obtain, will we raise tigers? Help them get rid of After the difficult situation, turn around to deal with us?"
Captain Zhao thought for a while and replied: "Even if you don’t know what the other party’s dilemma is, I think it’s unlikely to turn around after the transaction. We can control the process of helping each other. Many things. For example, if we can mass produce a commodity, but they can only be produced in small quantities, when the people of the other side get used to this commodity, then the right to speak in this respect will gradually be in our hands."
"And with the expansion of exchanges, the outcome of the war is even lower... after all, war does not benefit everyone much."
"Furthermore, all we need is time. The more time we give us, the stronger our civilization will be. There is no doubt about this..."
"Our potential and background should be higher than what the other party imagined."
Everyone nodded irresponsibly. People still have this confidence.
Zhang Yuan stood up and asked, "So, what can they trade for? We can't help them for no reason?"
"Or, what do we need?"
After some discussion, people discovered that there are many things that can be exchanged in this regard, including academic knowledge, some common sense of the universe between interstellar civilizations, and even... possible alien technology!
The first interstellar civilization, the "Enlightenment Civilization", may be too old and the staying time was short. The Gliese Civilization does not know much information.
But the second civilization helped them to leap from the Stone Age to the Electricity Age, so there must be closer exchanges.
Gliese civilization should know the relevant universe knowledge.
Yes, common sense of cosmological sociology, something that human beings lack!
Compared to the 200,000-year history of the Gliese civilization, it has been patronized by a more powerful interstellar civilization twice. The rise of mankind has only tens of thousands of years. There is nothing serious about the visits of alien civilizations to the earth. Transcript.
No one can figure out whether the nonsense that appears on the Internet is real or if it just wants to grab attention.
The only well-founded record is the dialogue between Zhang Yuan and Gaia civilization. But at that time, he was locked in the virtual space and chatted with artificial intelligence Yita through the screen. The amount of information was too little.
The second point, in addition to common sense of cosmic civilization, the next thing that can be exchanged is mathematics, which the other party is proud of, and other subjects, including various arts and entertainment.
Zhang Yuan once deceived a mathematical paper in the confrontation with the super life Zero-XZ. This paper solved a difficult problem that has not been solved by human beings from a very novel angle.
An essay cannot bring about a qualitative change in human civilization, but it can give a glimpse of it. The thinking of different civilizations must be different, and there must be a lot of reference between these thinking.
As for the third point, in the process of helping this civilization, humans will receive a lot of positive feedback.
The production process can accumulate a lot of experience, and it cannot be useless.
Zhang Yuan finally added that sentence: "Resources are definitely not very valuable things in the universe. What is valuable is information, knowledge, and experience accumulated over a long period of time."
"Even if there is no good deal, it is good to just learn more about the other party's history and improve our new civilization historiography."
So, after this discussion, everyone decided to send a real high-ranking human official to negotiate specific cooperation items as an "ice-breaking journey" between the two civilizations.
"Let me go."
This task was taken over by Zhang Yuan!
The current Ministry of Foreign Affairs is short of talents. There are two or three big cats and kittens, and the right to speak is not comparable to the new Ministry of Civilization Development, which has real power. Zhang Yuan can be regarded as the real power figure in the spacecraft. Captain Zhao sits in the rear and develops productive forces; Zhang Yuan's outing for diplomacy is also a choice with a clear division of labor.
After the meeting, the communication staff quickly transmitted a series of information about the "high-level human decision to visit" using electromagnetic waves.
Not long after, the Earth Age received another reply.
"Dear human civilization, you are very welcome to visit by senior leaders of civilization. Please allow us to prepare for a period of time to build a larger ecological park. It is estimated that it will take one to two months. We believe that the first batch of The ice-breaking journey is mainly based on the exchanges of art, science and culture...
"I hope your civilization can pick out more relevant candidates."
"This is fine."
Captain Zhao nodded and said, "We also need a month to make preparations for the selection of various personnel. Zhang Yuan, the next task is left to you."
……
In 6 hours, news about peace negotiations quickly spread throughout the spacecraft and became the most popular topic!
For the folk groups, generally speaking, there is more joy than worry, and even a spontaneous celebration ball was held in the central square.
In these years, the dark cloud of war has been looming in people's minds. In addition to producing weapons, they are also producing weapons, so that people's quality of life is very low, and even the period of hibernation is incomparable. Up...
But in the face of the threat of an unknown alien civilization, even if there is some war-weariness, ordinary people dare not complain.
Just kidding, this is not a racial civil war. If it is a racial civil war, even if it is defeated, there is a possibility of surrender. In modern society, it is impossible to slaughter civilians.
But the alien war is not necessarily the case...As far as the subconscious mind of many people is concerned, if there is a war with an alien civilization, either you die or I die, it is difficult to say surrender. If the battle is defeated, it may be perished!
So even if the life is harder, I can only endure it forcibly.
But then again, except for some natural war frenzy, who wants to fight all day long?
Who doesn't want a better life?
So, after the rumors of peace talks spread, even if there are all kinds of skeptics on the Internet, the subject's remarks still "can be contacted or contact first", and direct war is definitely the worst choice.
Some people even think that allowing the government to back down a little bit, as long as it is not a matter of principle, if time can be bought, it would be considered good.
As a result, this statement triggered another wave of saliva. The "necessary concession" has become "surrender" in some people's words, and I don't know what these guys think~ IndoMTL.com~ people from the Propaganda Department hurriedly refute the rumors, the new civilized government is impossible. Surrender directly, contrary to the principles of human beings...
In short, the issue of public opinion is not too big, and most people still believe in the government's decision-making. Everyone is a grasshopper on a rope.
Internet public opinion control is not strong. As long as it is not indiscriminately fabricating rumors to incite people, under normal circumstances, Internet police will not arrest people at will...
With such a small population, the government’s ability to act is still very high. With the rapid adjustment of production lines, there is no need for large-scale storage of living supplies. On the fifth day of peace talks, some Government staff will sell the large amount of living supplies previously stored to the people at low prices.
There was a long queue outside the supermarket, but there were no jumpers or looters.
People are talking and laughing. Even if they only buy a little synthetic meat, they are in a very good mood.
On the other hand, in the central square of Area A, a large number of diplomats are being recruited to complete this "ice-breaking journey"!
