Yevgeny's words made the people present sweep away their previous depression and begin to become excited again.

Indeed, if, as Yevgeny said, it was only to save hundreds of thousands of people like the second mission, then rely on this spaceship, and then they will easily complete the mission.

The rescue ship is a professional spacecraft, and both the internal living environment and the reliability of the ship are far beyond the conditions that they can provide in the previous missions. If you really want to follow Yevgeny's rescue standard, then they don't actually need to do anything, just wait until the war spreads to the home of the loser between BC, use the spaceship to teleport over, pick up the losing side, and everything will be fine.

But the search and rescue team quickly reminded everyone that this seemingly beautiful plan actually has a big loophole.

The biggest loophole, of course, is that civilizations correspond to different crises.

With the technological level of the BC civilization, not to mention the mysterious A civilization, the war they are waging against each other...... Obviously, the ultimate goal is to completely destroy or occupy the other planet.

Then, the plan of using rescue boats to save people has a big problem - how can these people live after saving them?

In the previous two missions, the reason why we could choose to rescue a small group of people to replace the entire civilization was because the material basis on which the entire civilization depended - the planet - has not changed.

Neither floods nor volcanoes have a qualitative change in the ecology of the planet's surface.

Civilization is facing only temporary crises, not permanent threats. There is a saying that emergency relief does not help the poor, and the previous civilizations belong to emergency relief, but this time...... If this method is still adopted, it is the standard poverty relief.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, hundreds of thousands of people in the spaceship, even if they can survive for a long time - the rescue ship can fully meet this in terms of hardware, but is the civilization in the spaceship still the original form of that civilization?

There is no doubt that this newly saved civilization will definitely be transformed into another civilization form by the spaceship, which is completely contrary to their original intention of saving civilization. Others may not understand it yet, but Wu Xiaoqing is now clear - saving civilization is not essentially humanitarian rescue, as the goal of the search and rescue team, the greatest significance of saving civilization is to strive to maintain the diversity of civilization.

It's like saving wild birds on the planet, if you just bring them back, keep them in a zoo and raise them as pets – that's completely contrary to the original purpose of animal conservation itself.

In response to the search and rescue team's questioning, Yevgeny proposed that they could be sent to those planets where there was no civilization and life - because the BC civilization itself has the ability to transform planets, it should not be very difficult for them to survive on a new planet. This is equivalent to finding a separate animal sanctuary for protected animals.

But this proposal was vetoed by Wu Xiaoqing: "In fact, after science and technology reach a certain level, the cause of the crisis of many civilizations is internal causes, and if they do not solve the problems carried by their civilization, even if they go to a new planet, sooner or later the same similar crisis will occur." ”

"Let's not talk about the new planet for the time being, is there a more dangerous and malicious civilization than A and Heel, even if it is the same as the Earth, it is an area that no one cares about, so in such a planet, will Civilization B continue to produce AI?"

"Civilization C, that is, the AI civilization, is also our goal of salvation, so will they continue to be hostile to life formed through evolution like us? If these two points do not change, we just change them to another environment, which is equivalent to delaying the outbreak of problems. This is clearly not the purpose of our salvation. We'd rather not save ...... Nor can this salvation be chosen. ”

Everyone subconsciously looked at the computer screen representing the search and rescue team, but the search and rescue team remained silent.

In fact, this already represents the attitude - at the meeting, if the search and rescue team does not express obvious objection to an opinion, it means that it is acceptable to a considerable extent.

Wu Xiaoqing actually raised a very important issue, about the behavioral logic of their mission actions, to put it more deeply, it is the problem of value orientation.

There is no doubt that this kind of value tendency that Wu Xiaoqing put forward today will also become a guiding principle for behavior within search and rescue teams in the future.

Yevgeny's weak plan of salvation could only be put on hold for the time being, and the center of the meeting soon returned to the original topic - how to mediate the war.

Strictly speaking, it is to mediate these three wars, which are B and C, B and A, and C and A.

These three wars are completely independent of each other, and the war related to A is the most critical - the war between BC may not destroy civilization, but as long as BC's colony ship enters A's galaxy, they will suffer a devastating blow - from A's description of BC, for A, BC civilization is two dogs fighting at home.

A's attitude towards the BC civilization is not conquest or possession, it is complete disregard.

Yevgeny shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's like letting an ordinary person on the edge of a cliff, holding a lion with one hand and a tiger with the other, not only to prevent the lion and the tiger from biting each other, but also to prevent them from jumping off the cliff themselves......"

Shen Changwen was concerned about another question: "How long will we have this mission?" ”

"There is a distance of 12 light-years from the galaxy where the BC civilization is located to civilization A, and the search and rescue team has calculated the speed of their colony ship, which is expected to reach its destination within 20 years."

"20 years?" Shen Changwen was surprised, "We have such a long time? ”

"No," said Wu Xiaoqing, "after the colonial ship departs, because of its super high speed, it is difficult to stop halfway or turn back to receive the signal to stop." In fact, in order to prevent the other side from disrupting their own colonial plans, both sides added a disciplinary order to sail silently inside the colonial ship when it was built. ”

"Sail silently?"

"Just like a nuclear submarine in combat readiness," Yevgeny added, "no message is sent." ”

"In the sky, there is one more one, do not accept any news, even if it is from the mother country."

"Why?" Shen Changwen asked, "Wouldn't there be no turning back when you open the bow?" ”

"For the BC civilization, this is really the effect they need to achieve," Wu Xiaoqing is led by A, who has seen the appearance of the BC civilization, he can probably understand the basis of the BC civilization's approach, "In their opinion, the galaxy where the A civilization is located is just the habitat of a group of primitive civilizations, just from the telescope, all the galaxies of the A civilization are still staying, which is equivalent to before the earth enters the modern era, not to mention space navigation, even the basic astronomy, I'm afraid it's only half-understood." ”

"For them, launching a colonial ship to civilization A is just an idle move in a fierce war, in fact, they don't necessarily expect this move to play any key role, just add a retreat or a choice, and the main battlefield in their minds is still in their own galaxy. But they would not have thought that these two idle moves were really dead chess pieces for the end of their two civilizations. ”

"Aren't they, then, already dead?" Xu Yan, who was stupid, interjected.

"No, not yet," Yevgeny had already reflected, "how long will their ship depart?" ”

"Less than half a year."

"Half a year? Didn't you say that they just started to have this colonial ship program? ”

"Yes, civilization C has begun," Wu Xiaoqing said, "Civilization B is also being activated." Within half a year at the earliest, the colonial ships of Civilization C will be able to depart...... We need to do our best to stop this from happening before that happens. ”

"Half a year...... Shen Changwen and Yevgeny looked at each other, "I'm afraid we won't even have a basic understanding of these two civilizations in half a year." ”

"I will keep in touch with civilization A," Wu Xiaoqing said, "for civilization A, civilization BC is completely transparent...... We can learn most of their information through A. ”

"That'...... In our name this time? ”

"Passing by," Mr. Wu said, "in the name of rescue...... It really doesn't fit. I've heard search and rescue teams talk about the state of civilization where we can pretend to be a ship civilization in exile. ”

"Ship civilization?"

"Professor Shen, it's the kind of civilization I told you before," Wu Xiaoqing said, "In the universe, the number of ship civilizations far exceeds that ......of planetary civilizations. In the name of supplies, we docked near their system. ”

"But as soon as we meet, won't we be exposed?" Shen Changwen has participated in the decipherment of the text of the BC civilization, and he now knows that the connotation and capacity of a civilization itself cannot be pretended at all. Just like asking a primitive civilization to pretend to be a modern civilization, if primitive people can't even understand the basic Newton's laws, then they naturally can't create a powerful industrial world like the modern one.

"Do you remember the previous Ascension Realm?" Wu Xiaoqing has long been prepared for this, "The people who live in the Ascension Realm are actually primitive people, but the appearance of their civilization is far beyond the limitations of their own civilization. When the time comes, the rescue ship will be our Ascension Realm, and we will be the trapeze people who live in it. We can even make up the excuse that we are an Earth-like civilization saved by a search and rescue team and are temporarily housed in this spaceship. ”

"If they think we're too far behind...... Maybe there will be a desire to seize the ship," Yevgeny is more worried about this, "so that once the relationship is stiff, there will be no way to contact it in the future." ”

"Therefore, we also need to show our strength at the first time of contact," Wu Xiaoqing said, "imagine us as those flying people who ascend to the heavens, and we need to face the earthlings, what is the best strategy?" It is to use all means when we first meet, and then strive for a peace agreement that is as superior as possible. We are more fortunate than the Flyer in that we already know the comparison of strength between the two sides in advance, and the other side knows nothing about us. This asymmetry of information is the only place we can take advantage of at the moment. ”

Shen Changwen and Yevgeny glanced at each other, and then both nodded slightly.

"So, that's it?" Wu Xiaoqing said, "Let's raise your hand and vote." ”

Five people, five hands, unanimously passed.

"The following is the specific division of labor," the search and rescue team arranged the next detailed work, "First of all, there must be a full and perfect cover for the rhetoric of the civilization to which we belong, we will need a professional team of historians and fiction experts to help our virtual civilization make up a convincing enough history - you can take a part of the history of a certain civilization on the earth, so that it is more real, this work must be fast, and then we all have to learn this virtual history; And then there is the study of the weapons systems of the other side...... This time we need to do a big project around that. ”
