Chapter 152: Establishing Communication
After Feitian arrived in the orbit of Planet 1, it saw an incredible scene underneath the light side of the planet through the radar satellite.
Criss-crossed underground passages that resemble dense cobwebs.
A labyrinth of underground structures.
Even the scorching surface of the planet is also carved with countless rune-like lines, like a blackboard, painted with all kinds of geometric lines and figures.
There's also some wiring that looks like a LSI board β it's actually the Three-Eyed Highway.
There's also a large sparkling lake β it's the Three-Eyed Man's solar power plant.
As well as the radar reflection map, a large number of similar factories, power stations, cities and other facilities located underground are densely packed, almost filling the underground space of this planet.
"Amazing civilization. β
Yun Xinghe and the others were speechless, although they hadn't seen an alien show up yet, but when they saw the traces of these civilizations, they already attached great importance to it in their hearts.
So, the next thing to consider is how to establish normal communication with this civilization.
The crew of the Feitian had no clue.
The same is true for Yun Xinghe, who is the captain of the ship, scratching his ears and cheeks, not knowing what to do.
"Grandpa, what should I do next? How can I communicate with the Three-Eyed people. β
"I don't know much about this, you can figure it out for yourself, after all, you have studied "Cosmic Diplomacy", but I don't have it, grandpa. β
"Cosmic Diplomacy?"
Yun Xinghe's eyes suddenly lit up, there he has a way!
Guessing.
The process of how to establish exchanges between two different civilizations is actually a process of guessing.
What should you do when you don't know each other's language, writing, or culture, and when there are huge differences between the languages and cultures of different civilizations, and it's very difficult to understand them?
Guessing is a very good way.
For example, if you want to express the meaning of "friendship" and "dialogue" to an unfamiliar civilization, how should you express it?
Use picture comparison.
For example, there are two pictures, one of which shows two people waving their fists and feet and glaring at each other, and the other of two people sitting on a grassy field, holding hands, smiling and talking...... Both images are played over and over again, ending with a smiling conversation, which undoubtedly means "friendly".
For example, if there are two pictures, one of which is full of fire and explosions, symbolizing war, and the other is that the door of the spaceship is open, and a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes walks down, and the welcoming crowd on both sides holds flowers symbolizing welcome in their hands, and a flock of doves symbolizing peace flying in the sky, then, of course, the latter picture also represents "friendship".
In short, using the most intuitive picture comparison, even if you don't know each other's two civilizations at all, you can understand it, guess the meaning, and then let down your vigilance and hostility, and try to establish a deeper level of communication.
In fact, there is another way to save time and effort, which is to capture (kidnap) one or several individuals directly from the other party's civilization, and study all aspects carefully, which is much faster than a slow guessing puzzle.
However, to adopt this method, you must act in concealment and not be discovered by the other party's civilization, otherwise it will cause misunderstanding.
Yun Xinghe still plans to try the "guessing method" first, and if the brain circuit of the three-eyed person can't be understood, try the second one.
β¦β¦
After the giant spaceship arrives at the top of the planet.
The Three-Eyed Man has been in a state of panic.
There are still more than 100,000 water droplets left, but they have not been sent out, because these water drops are undergoing emergency refit, and one water drop can accommodate 1,000 refugees, if the Three-Eyed people are destined to avoid destruction, these hundreds of thousands of water droplets can sprinkle the fire of civilization of the Three-Eyed people on various planets.
But the strange thing is that the giant spaceship overhead has not launched an attack.
Instead, hundreds of boxy boxes were put down.
After landing, these small boxes showed a light curtain and began to play a small video over and over again.
Several images appear in the video:
The first two are contrasting images, the first of which shows the planet being blown to pieces by a high-powered weapon, and the second of which is intact but with a white flag erected, and the Three-Eyed Man throws away his weapon.
The video freezes for a while in the second frame.
The third image is the picture of the Three-Eyed Man walking out of the underground base and boarding the giant spaceship.
The fourth picture is a negotiation and conversation in a giant spaceship.
The fifth screen shows a map with a red dot flashing in the center of the map β indicating the place of the meeting.
The sixth picture is a countdown clock, a 24-hour countdown β indicating that time is limited.
The information conveyed by these six pictures is very clear, and Yun Xinghe believes that if the heads of these aliens do not have much problem with their comprehension ability, they should understand what they mean.
Inside the underground base.
Seeing the continuous carousel of the images in this video, it only took a few minutes for the Three-Eyed Man to decipher the meaning.
"They want us to give up our resistance. β
"Send diplomats, board their ships, and negotiate peace. β
"The fate of the Three-Eyed Man lies in the outcome of this negotiation. β
"There's only a limited amount of time left for us to think about it, and they won't wait long. β
Through the information waves emitted by the brain, Dr. Heng translated the meaning of these paintings.
There was a commotion below.
A slight commotion of excitement.
"Great, they didn't plan to destroy us right away! β
"Negotiation, we accept negotiation!"
"Send our best diplomats out, and use the sharpest words to let these evil outsiders, their own choice, leave!"
"Dr. Heng, you are the smartest person among our Three-Eyed People, you go and negotiate with them, the future of the Three-Eyed People depends on you!"
The three-eyed man said that he pinned all his hopes on Dr. Heng.
Dr. Heng nodded and accepted the task.
β¦β¦
18 hours later.
Through the docking spaceship, the negotiators sent by the Three-Eyed entered the Flying Sky.
The flat disk-shaped spaceship, no more than 30 centimeters in diameter and resembling a UFO toy, was parked in the pressurized capsule at the bottom of the Flying Sky.
After the air pressure reaches equilibrium, the green light will turn on, indicating that the personnel in the small spacecraft can disembark.
A gangway was lowered from the flat disk-shaped spaceship, and down the gangway, several peanut-sized people walked down.
"Oh my God, this ...... This is the intelligent life of this civilization?"
"What did I see? Am I dreaming? Or am I hallucinating?"
"I remembered an anime I watched when I was a kid called 'Little Douman', which looks like these aliens. β
"I suddenly felt that we were doing something that our conscience could not afford, that we were bullying a group of villains thousands of times younger than us. β
Even if he was mentally prepared, but when he saw the three-eyed man for the first time, Yun Xinghe was also full of surprise and dumbfounded.
The old man didn't fool him.
These aliens are really small and very pitiful.
"In the "Galactic Encyclopedia", the Three-Eyed People are the smallest intelligent race, and the second smallest intelligent race, which is dozens of times their size. β
The old man muttered in his head, and then said: "In addition, the Three-Eyed Man is extremely talented, and they are also the best precision parts processors in the galaxy, they don't eat food, consume little energy, and don't occupy much space. After the Three-Eyed race came out of the planet, they were welcomed by almost all civilizations, and they were the best human resources, so ......"
"I want them all to work for me!"
"Forever!"
Yun Xinghe said loudly in his mind, his heart pounding.
Even though he knew that this was a little unfair to the Three-Eyed Man, he had already thought about it, and in terms of treatment, he would definitely give the Three-Eyed Man the best.
He will be a good boss who is most considerate of his employees.
β¦β¦
The other side.
After entering the giant spaceship, taking the commuter bus provided by the powerful civilization, which was ten times larger than the spaceship they took when they came, through the long, endless corridor, in a few minutes, but equivalent to centuries of long journey, Dr. Heng's mood in the commuter car became more and more gloomy.
"With such a huge spaceship and such a powerful civilization, the Three-Eyed Man can really escape?"
"If this negotiation doesn't go well, and the Three-Eyed people really die because of me, I will be the biggest sinner who killed trillions of people!"
"If I make too many concessions, the Zhiwei civilization created by the Three-Eyed people will become slaves of other civilizations, and I will still be the biggest sinner. β
"I don't want to be a sinner, I'm going to save my race!"
With an extremely heavy heart, the commuter arrived at the destination of the negotiations, the daily meeting hall of the spacecraft's living quarters.
One enters the hall.
When the intelligent beings of the mysterious civilization turned their heads and looked at him with extremely curious eyes.
Dr. Heng's body was violent for a while, as if he had been struck by lightning.
In his small vision, he saw an unimaginable sightβseveral creatures that were too large to comprehend were staring at him with burning eyes.
Suddenly my heart was like a dead heart, and there was only despair.
"Sinner, I'm really going to be a sinner of the Three-Eyed Clan!"
Dr. Heng muttered to himself, losing all courage in an instant.
