289 Run
"It's time to ask questions," the search and rescue team reminded Shen Changwen, "Speak as slowly as possible......
Wu Xiaoqing instructed Xu Yan through typing: "Looking down, they all have something similar to a mobile phone in their hands...... A lot of people also have pictures in their pupils, well, that archon too. Xu Yan, stand up, walk back, and ask the consul who spoke to me yesterday, right behind you, dressed in black. β
"Electronic retina? OK...... This is easy to do," the Second Archon immediately ordered someone to open the corresponding authority for Xu Yan, "but for the sake of the secrecy of your identity and the relevant laws of the Second Earth, you cannot be allowed to speak for the time being. β
"That's fine."
Not to mention speaking, Wu Xiaoqing soon began to notice that it was very difficult for them to even understand what others were saying.
The visual interfaces of Shen Changwen and Xu Yan have always been monitored by the search and rescue team, which naturally includes the automatic translation of all texts.
Originally, this workload was not large, but after Wu Xiaoqing opened the Internet, the entire translation progress immediately became sluggish. Originally, as long as you saw the other party's text, all Chinese would appear in the corresponding area, but now the search and rescue team can only translate the approximate meaning - because there is too much content.
"The first question is that we are asked to reveal who we really are, and we agree." The Q&A session is still going on, and the First Consul is speaking as a government representative and is beginning to introduce some of the rules issues in the Q&A session.
And the search and rescue team now basically knows the general situation - at least it is much stronger than the surprise attack just now, and they have a few more minutes of preparation time now.
The image is indeed nothing to keep secret, because Changxing and Changbai have already seen the real Wu Xiaoqing before, and the search and rescue team also believes that after Changxing Changbai goes back, he will definitely fully explain their image.
Now the biggest significance of releasing the image is to offset a considerable part of the other party's doubts about them - doubting their true alien identity. There is no doubt that a real, very different body from theirs should be able to alleviate this suspicion a lot.
"What shall I call you? You can't call you Mr. Alien - by the way, by the way, should I be okay to call you Mr. Are you indeed a hermaphroditic species? β
"You can call me a long text, which translates to a relatively large text."
"Long ...... Do you have such a surname? β
"Changwen is my name, and my surname is Shen."
"Does this surname have any specific meaning?"
Shen Changwen shook his head: "I'm just asking you to ask one question, and I've answered two now." β
"I'm sorry." The other party raised the communicator in his hand, and then projected the picture in it into the air like a three-dimensional projection, so that Shen Changwen could see it clearly.
"The first question I want to ask Mr. Changwen is made on behalf of the 16 billion people in the Federation, they want to ask, can you ask Mr. Changwen to make public your normal physiological pictures, now the whole Internet is circulating, you are a huge creature that is close to a hundred times our size, is it true?"
Shen Changwen nodded: "That's true, the electronic tools in your hands...... If I can, I can use your device to project my own 3D projections. β
The atmosphere in the whole square began to become warm, and the questioner ran up from the bottom of the square quickly in front of everyone, and after coming to Shen Changwen's side, he handed over his communicator to Shen Changwen in front of everyone.
Before this, the search and rescue team had found the basic use of the communicator through Xu Yan's retina network, and under the prompting of the search and rescue team, Shen Changwen quickly completed the operation.
A huge, earthling-like image almost covered the height of the entire two-story square, and the venue suddenly became noisy, and Shen Changwen could even hear the exclamations of many people who couldn't help but let out.
Soon, the second questioner appeared: "Is this done according to a 1 to 1 body ratio?" β
"Yes."
"But if you grow to be as tall as you, how can your body withstand it?" The other party questioned, "Nearly two meters tall, still have to maintain upright walking......"
"The gravity of our planet is not as high as yours, there is only one G, which is only 70 percent of yours."
"How can such a huge body survive?" The questions that were raised one after another seemed to be based on the physiological state of the earthlings, "We have just made a simple calculation, if you calculate the size of a settlement of a few hundred people, the food you need to consume at the beginning of civilization will be an astronomical amount. β
"There is a big difference in the state of civilization between our two sides, and I am afraid that both sides understand each other very well," Shen Changwen replied, "Food has indeed always been a long-term problem for our civilization, and it is even directly related to the survival of the military and the population." β
"But equally, your civilization has its own difficulties that we can hardly imagine, such as the lack of oxygen. Because you have lived underground for so long, the lack of oxygen has always been a mysterious way for you to die in ancient timesβand it can even lead to the demise of entire cities. But for terrestrial species, such a problem is rare. β
As the questions and answers continued, Wu Xiaoqing noticed that the list of questions they had been keenly following was changing rapidly. Obviously, because of their good coping, the doubts about their identity have basically dissipated, and on the question list, many questions about the purpose of their trip are rapidly rising in priority.
"I'm an astronomer in the Federation," the 23rd questioner asked, the question he asked was not on the tables on the Internet rankings, and the search and rescue team judged that it should be purely due to their own personal factors, "Since you claim that you are a civilization that has saved countless civilizations, can you give some corresponding evidence to prove it?" Say, the words of all the civilizations that have been saved? β
"I'm afraid I won't be able to meet your request," Shen Changwen immediately expressed a clear refusal according to what the search and rescue team said, and then explained, "This is very likely to bring you completely unnecessary trouble." β
"It's just words, can it be said that these advanced civilizations you have saved can create black holes just by words?"
Shen Changwen explained word by word: "If I inform you of the text of your federation to the civilizations that have survived on the galaxy recently, and then they use this script to communicate with you in some way, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing for both sides?" β
"Do you mean that all civilizations are hostile by default?"
"No," Shen Changwen's voice was even slower, "hostility is not enough to describe this danger!" The relationship between civilizations is more like positive and antimatter, as long as they meet, they are destined to produce annihilation! β
"But you're showing up now."
"Because we strictly follow many rules," Shen stressed, "but not all civilizations understand and enforce these rules." β
There is also a subtext, which the search and rescue team did not say, but Wu Xiaoqing just understood one point, that is, the huge price that this kind of rule needs to pay, and it is not something that any civilization can bear.
β¦β¦
The meeting lasted for more than four hours, and at the invitation of the First Archon, they attended a welcome banquet arranged by the Second Earth.
Speaking of a banquet, the search and rescue team and Wu Xiaoqing both knew very well that this must be the other party discussing how to deal with them and preparing to make a final decision. It is nothing more than two possibilities - cooperation, and refusal to cooperate.
Both of these possibilities are within their acceptable range, anyway, in the search and rescue team's plan, whether the dwarven civilization likes them or not, they will stay in each other's galaxy until the mission is successfully completed. Just the teleportation function of the rescue ship itself can already ensure that the other party cannot really solve itself at the violent level, that is, at least they are still invincible for the time being.
Shen Changwen saw Changxing at the banquet, and the other party took the initiative to come over and greet him, but he didn't talk about anything specifically.
For Shen Changwen, the banquet was almost a continuation of the question-and-ask session just now, and the questions he encountered here were often more sensitive and complex, and there were various traps in almost every question.
"Mr. Changwen, may I ask what kind of views your civilization adheres to on intelligent program technology?"
"As far as the civilization you once knew, did you have a procedural civilization that really meant the mountain?"
"What is your definition of civilization? What about life? Which is more important, life or civilization? β¦β¦β
In the face of these unanswerable questions, the only thing Shen Changwen could do was to remain silent. Of course, if the other party is in a hurry, Shen Changwen will throw back a few topics that are also sensitive to the other party: "What does it mean to digitize consciousness?" Why do some viewers' questions mention silicon-based civilization and carbon-based civilization? β
"What is the current turnout rate in the Federation? What are the parts of the president's impeachment process? How many votes are passed? β
"What is the battle loss ratio between the Federation and the Intellect in this war?"
After a bunch of unnutritious cross-examinations, Shen Changwen finally got a moment of silence, he sat down in a corner of the hall, and at the same time habitually took out a communicator here, and began to read the news on it.
According to the search and rescue team, they are likely to be turned on by the other party next.
If it was really according to the mode they imagined before the mission, they came to the other planet in a spaceship, and then did things under the other party's nose, Shen Changwen was still quite worried, who knows if the aliens on this planet have a deeper study of torture than the earthlings......
But now, there is basically no psychological pressure on Shen Changwen and Xu Yan, because no matter how the other party tosses, their bodies are still on the spaceship, and what they keep connected to each other is just to use high-frequency lasers to transmit information.
Xu Yan and Shen Changwen are both ready to take advantage of this rare gap to learn as much as possible about some information on each other's network - such as the digitization of consciousness, as well as the third and fourth earths, and this second earth, what is the difference? Of course, there is also a need to understand their political model β or at least try to find a few more collaborators.
A waiter with a drink paused slightly as he passed by them, but quickly left. Because neither of them was used to drinking anything here - according to Shen Changwen, many drinks were similar to soapy water.
But after Shen Changwen raised his head, he found that the other party still left two bottles of drinks - before he could think about what this action meant, the search and rescue team had already noticed some details - there were words on the side of the bottles.
Indeed, there is a character, which is a combination of some scattered water droplets, and the most noteworthy thing is that this character is not a federal script, but a Chinese square word - run.
Run?
Before Shen Changwen could understand what was going on, he felt that his eyes were dark, and then the whole person suddenly seemed to wake up from a nightmare, and quickly opened his eyes.
There was still a banquet hall in front of them, and they had obviously left the game and were now back on the ship. Xu Yan came back almost at the same time, and the two of them asked Wu Xiaoqing almost in unison: "What happened?" β
"The other side has unilaterally cut off the network connection, and in addition, we have detected more than a dozen lasers locking onto our ship, and they should have declared war on us!"
