Chapter 342: Different Contacts
The Oort Nebula, a huge battleship floating in space, this battleship with geometric shapes has typical Gaia civilization characteristics, and more importantly, the appearance of the battleship also has a polydiamond emblem, which is the mark of the Senate, the highest authority of Gaia civilization, representing that the spaceship belongs directly to the Senate.
After many discussions about what is happening on Earth, the Senate of Gaia Civilization has finally come to a conclusion, that is, to contact each other first without knowing everything, and then consider other issues. As a result of this decision, the Senate sent this warship to the solar system to make contact with the civilization of the earth, and of course, the reason for the contact was also very legitimate, and it was the points notified to the federal government of the earth.
Before coming, the Gaia people had already made two preparations, and once they found that the Earth civilization had not yet entered the ranks of cosmic civilizations, the battleship would send the news back to the home planet with the fastest communication. And if it is confirmed that the Earth civilization has entered the cosmic civilization, then the warship will continue its mission of engagement and negotiation, while striving to achieve the purpose for which they came.
Soon after the battleship entered the Oort Nebula, its traces were discovered by the earthlings, which also confirmed that the earth civilization had entered the ranks of cosmic civilizations. Faced with this reality, the warship commanders quickly made a decision to begin their mission this time, and took the initiative to send a communication signal to the Earth side.
"It's only been such a short time for the earthlings to enter the ranks of cosmic civilizations, it's a pity, it's a pity......." A cabin of the battleship, this is the largest and most luxurious cabin of the entire battleship, compared to the captain's cabin, the conditions here are more perfect, even in the Gaia civilization can be regarded as a very good place to live.
A man who looked like a middle-aged man sighed softly, his expression a little complicated, and he seemed to feel a little sorry for it. There is also some anticipation. The identity of this Gaian named Jerry is not simple, as a member of the Senate, he is also the representative of the Gaian civilization that shoulders this mission.
"It's a pity, indeed......." The other person said the same on the side, and this person was actually Kabakas, how could this confidant servant of the patriarch of the Heavenly Flower family appear here? Some are intriguing.
Jerry gave Kabakas a meaningful look, he was no stranger to him. In fact, Jerry is very familiar with Kabakas, or more familiar with his master, that is, the patriarch of the Paradise Flower family, Oakes. Jerry comes from another famous family, and his family has been married to the Paradise Flower family for generations, and the two sides can be considered relatives. If you come from his grandfather's generation, Jerry is even Oakes's cousin, and the two were still good friends when they were young.
However, Jerry's luck was not as good as Oakes, who eventually took the helm of the Paradise Flower family and became the undisputed patriarch of the family. But Jerry is the second son. There was no chance to get involved in the position of patriarch at all, perhaps to make up for the outstanding children in this family, Jerry finally relied on his family and his own efforts to enter the Senate and became a member of the Senate.
For his titular cousin Oakes, although Jerry has a good personal relationship with him, everyone is jealous, especially the difference in the identities of the two later makes Jerry dissatisfied, and it is not until he becomes a patriarch that this mentality is gradually balanced. Anyway. Although the patriarch's status in the government is high, it is still far less powerful than the power and power of the patriarch of a large family. This can't but be said to be a hint of regret on Jerry's.
For the discovery of the earth civilization, Jerry was also a little gloating in regret, in his opinion, Oakes and his stupid son actually let go of such a good opportunity, instead of taking the earth before the earth civilization entered the ranks of cosmic civilization, but suffered such a heavy loss in the solar system.
What an opportunity! And this opportunity slipped away in the hands of the Paradise Flower family. In Jerry's opinion, Oakes and Ferro's decision to conquer Earth by force was simply wrong. If it weren't for that war, it wouldn't be like this at all. Since Ferro has discovered the ruins of the Rand civilization in the solar system, it should be thought that this weak earth civilization may have a possible relationship with the mysterious Rand civilization that has been missing for many years. In such a situation, it is reckless to use force, to use war to try to get everything. If they had softened down a little and made a decision after they had thoroughly understood the situation, maybe everything would have turned out differently.
In just a dozen years, the earth civilization has entered the ranks of cosmic civilization, although the data shows that the original earth civilization has been on the edge of the cosmic civilization, but in such a short period of time, the earth civilization can take this step, and it is impossible to have a little bit of mystery. This is also the reason why Jerry feels a pity, as for his expectations, it is after contact and negotiation with the earth civilization, he looks forward to using this opportunity to see if he can get something when the earth civilization has just entered the ranks of the universe civilization.
As for Kabakas's agreement with Jerry's words, it was a different thought, and the ordinary-looking old man was still smiling plainly, and it was impossible to tell from his face what he was thinking. However, Jerry was well aware of this old man's abilities, otherwise Oakes would not have used him so much.
The mission to Earth is Jerry's own efforts, of course, there is also the result of the operation of the family behind it, and the Paradise Flower family is also willing to see the Senate send a candidate who has a friendly relationship with their family, and Jerry is the most suitable person for this.
This time, Kabakas's companion was actually proposed by Jerry to the Paradise Flower family, as a person who had been to the solar system and even experienced that war as an agent of Oakes, he was a good entourage. What's more, the Paradise Flower family did not refuse this request, so Kabakas followed Jerry to the solar system again in the name of an advisor.
"Do you say that the earthlings will agree to our request?" Jerry asked lightly.
"They won't refuse." Kabakas replied naturally, reminding, "However, I am afraid that the earthlings will not agree to all of the several requests we have made. ”
"It's inevitable." Jerry nodded in agreement, diplomacy is to bargain on the spot, even if the other party is another cosmic civilization that has just fought with him. In the Gaia civilization, there is also a phrase similar to the civilization of the earth, which translates to the fact that there is no permanent friendship between civilizations and civilizations, only permanent interests.
The Gaia civilization, which has gradually developed from a primitive civilization to a second-level civilization, has also experienced a history of contact with other cosmic civilizations in the long years. In this history. The Gaia civilization has taken advantage of and suffered, which is very common among the cosmic civilizations of the galaxy, and now they are engaged in contact negotiations with the Earth civilization with a similar purpose.
"Do you think the Earthlings would invite us to Earth if they agreed?" Jerry asked again.
This time, Kabakas thought about it for a moment and shook his head: "It's unlikely that we will go directly to Earth, maybe they will choose a place to contact us." ”
"That's right. I thought the same way, so what would it be? Jerry asked with a playful smile.
"Your Excellency, I think you already have the answer in your mind, right?" Kabakas laughed at this time, got up and apologized slightly to Jerry.
Jerry burst out laughing, and while his laughter was still echoing in the room, a message came from the bridge that he had just received a message from Earth's civilization. The smile on Jerry's face grew even more when he saw the content of the message, including Kabakas next to him, and it seemed that they had guessed correctly.
It took Tian Lao a few hours to arrive at the moon base in a spacecraft. General Ivan, the supreme commander of the Space Fleet, and others personally greeted Tian Lao and his party. According to the plan, in order to consider Tian Lao's health, they will stay at the moon base for a day and then continue their journey, but Tian Lao rejected this suggestion, in his opinion, there is no problem with his body at all, so such an arrangement is not necessary at all, so they only stayed at the moon base for about ten hours, and then boarded a battleship, they will take this battleship and then go to the negotiation place accompanied by three warships sent by the space fleet.
The final negotiation site was finally confirmed to be the Pluto airspace. There is a reason why the Pluto airspace was chosen, firstly, over the years, the earthlings have built a small cosmic space city in the Pluto airspace. This space city is very suitable as a place for negotiations. Second, the location of the space city is neither far nor close to the earth, and the protection of the earth is also necessary. As for the third, and most important, space city is in the Pluto airspace, and Pluto has a huge base left over from the Rand civilization. Although Su Yichen is now far away from the galaxy, with the help of the wisdom brain he left behind, the Pluto base can still exert its powerful attack and defense capabilities, and once the Gaia civilization has other intentions, then it is still absolutely safe under the protection of the Pluto base.
Four warships set sail from the lunar base. The three frigates guarded the battleship that Tian Lao and the others were riding in the center in a zigzag shape, and then headed in the direction of Pluto. A few days later, the battleship successfully arrived in the airspace of Pluto, and not far from the base of Pluto, a space city slowly revolved around Pluto like a moon of Pluto. Although the scale of this space city is not the largest, it is the most technologically advanced and the strongest defense capability in the entire solar system, because the management brain of the space city is interconnected with the brain of the Pluto base, and then assisted by the Pluto base system, which is incomparable to several other space cities of the human race.
When the battleship's identity verification passed, the wisdom brain of Space City began to guide the battleship into the port. Space City has a large air port, capable of berthing ten warships of their size at the same time. More than an hour later, Tian Lao finally stepped on the ground of the Space City, and when they walked out of the airport and came to the interior of the Space City, they even had the illusion of returning to Earth.
There are earth-like streets, gardens, residences, shopping malls, entertainment venues, etc. in the entire space city, and when you look up at the sky, there are blue sky and white clouds overhead, and you can't tell that this is in space at all.
There are more than 97,000 people in the entire Space City, including hundreds of soldiers and policemen, most of whom are family members working at the Pluto base and ordinary people who have immigrated to Space City. Here, you can enjoy the same life as the earth, and even some people who come here from the earth to travel, and the entire space city is no different from the ordinary small towns on the earth, let alone have a different flavor.
The news of Tian Lao and his entourage had already been conveyed to the Pluto base through the earth, and the Pluto base sent personnel to welcome Tian Lao and their arrival. Of course, because of the secrecy of this negotiation, the welcome ceremony was very low-key, and when the Gaia people came here, their news was also blocked from the outside world, and ordinary people living here would not know this information at all.
"Welcome to Tian Lao, this is where you live temporarily, our space city is not big, so we can only grieve you." The personnel sent from Pluto Base are also members of the Federal Academy of Sciences, but they are administrators rather than full-time scientists. For Tian Lao, who is still the president of the Federal Academy of Sciences, this person is extremely enthusiastic, and the place to settle them is also selected, which is a relatively independent residence.
"Hehe, I don't think there is any grievance, this place is a little better than my home on Earth." Tian Lao took a lot of the surrounding scenery, took a turn around the room, and joked with a happy smile.
"If you like it, if you like it." The reception staff was relieved to see that Tian Lao was in a good mood, and then introduced the facilities and other aspects of the space city for Tian Lao and the members of the delegation, and after listening briefly, Tian Lao waved his hand and asked where the Gaia people had been.
"A few hours ago, the other party just sent a message, about six hours will arrive in the Pluto airspace, the base is ready, we will send a shuttle to pick up the other party's personnel directly at that time, and then settle over there." The receptionist replied, and finally reached out and pointed to the same place not far away. Not only Tian Lao, but also the other two members of the delegation had no objection to this arrangement.
Six hours passed in a flash, and when the battleship of the Gaia civilization finally passed through the Oort Nebula and came to the vicinity of Pluto's airspace, the Pluto base immediately contacted the other party and asked the other party to anchor according to the designated location of the base.
The Gaia civilization did not raise any objections, and soon anchored at the designated location, and then a medium-sized shuttle flew out of Space City and quickly approached the opposing warship. When the Gaia people docked with the battleship, several personnel entered the shuttle, and the shuttle broke away from the battleship and flew towards Space City.
At this moment, Tian Lao and the others were already waiting outside the airport, ready to greet the Gaia people who came, looking at the airport passage that had not yet been opened, Tian Lao stood quietly, with a trace of expectation in his eyes. (To be continued......)
