"A declaration of war?" Xu Yan and Shen Changwen had just come back, and their brains were still in a state of panic.

Xu Yan almost subconsciously screamed: "Are we aliens? Have these people been beaten by other aliens? Fight when you meet?! ”

Then he couldn't help but look at Wu Xiaoqing: "Why don't we hurry back to Earth now!" Teleport back to Earth! ”

The search and rescue team reassured Xu Yan: "Don't worry for the time being, the laser has just been launched, and there are still 15 minutes to get here...... In space, this is a relatively inefficient weapon, and we have already begun to circumvent it. ”

Shen Changwen's consciousness had just recovered a little, and he was still thinking about the speech: "Is it something we said, where did we offend them, or did they have any misunderstanding about us?" ”

Wu Xiaoqing was watching the videos they had saved before, especially the period before Shen Changwen and them "broke the line": "It's not like ...... If it was a misunderstanding, so many people would have asked questions, and they should have said it a long time ago. ”

"Maybe these people are all Tot?" Yevgeny speculated, "Maybe they could not tolerate our presence alone, or rather, from beginning to end, they believed that we were sent by the intellect, that we were their enemies." ”

"Then why do we need to be brought into the virtual world?" Wu Xiaoqing said, "According to our original plan, we are going to go to their planet by spaceship. If they treat us like enemies, shouldn't the best strategy be to do what they do? At the very least, wait for our ship to approach their planet before we do it......"

Speaking of which, Wu Xiaoqing himself was a little bottomless, and asked the search and rescue team again: "What is our current state...... Are you sure it's safe? Maybe there will be some secret weapon on the other side...... We are here by teleportation, aren't they unaware of this, and the teleportation mechanism will not be interfered with by them? ”

"If they can interfere with teleportation, it means that they already have the ability to teleport - then the current war situation between the two sides will not be what it is now, and they still need to attack one by one along the ecliptic plane of the galaxy......"

"Haven't there been any accidents?" Wu Xiaoqing was still a little worried, "In short, it's best to be cautious...... Let's get the ship out of the galaxy first - at least within the effective range of the opponent's weapon. ”

"It is unlikely that it will be out of the effective range," the search and rescue team did not change their minds, "In the environment of space, there is no attenuation of laser weapons, as long as they are within the visual range, they can be hit, and it is enough to maintain evasive actions." ”

Shen Changwen had basically come back to his senses at this time, and he, like Wu Xiaoqing, began to look back at the video before they finally left, and there was a very important detail that was very noteworthy - before their accident, someone had reported to them.

It's not difficult to guess who this person is, in the entire federation, there are only a few people they know, and the second consul is just a one-sided relationship, and they have simply chatted with each other.

Only one person would give them such a reminder - that is, the Changxing they had saved, and Changxing was indeed on the scene at the time. Now the big question is, why did Changxing give them such a reminder - run?! Where to run? Is there any point in running?

In fact, just a dozen seconds after seeing the word, they were disconnected from the game connection. This virtual connection is inherently fragile, and while it remains connected, the spacecraft needs to remain stationary, and the connection will be broken if there is a slight offset - which is why search and rescue teams are not afraid of laser weapons.

The vast space of the universe is too impractical for a direct-aiming weapon like a laser.

It can be said that they are outside the control of the Federation from beginning to end, and Changxing obviously knows this, but he still sent the word "run".

"Could it be a linguistic problem?" "The other party's understanding of the meaning of Chinese characters may not be accurate, perhaps it is a reminder that our ship is avoiding danger." ”

"No," the search and rescue team said with certainty, "they are a very sensitive race, and in their writing, there are hundreds of different escape postures alone...... I can conclude that when he wrote this word, he asked us to make the corresponding action directly, and it was very clear that we would run, not run, hide, or so on......"

"If we were allowed to run, it must mean that we were in danger of being trapped, but we didn't pull anything down?" Wu Xiaoqing shook his head, and finally gave up continuing to drill on this issue, "By the way, did Zhiti reply from there?" ”

"Not yet," said the search and rescue team, "but I'm sure it will happen soon, so I'll send you back to Earth first, and I'll call you if there's a situation." ”

……

The search and rescue team needs to keep an eye over there, and Wu Xiaoqing can only deal with the affairs on the entire earth by himself.

Wu Xiaoqing's first concern was about the news of the game team. Qinglan Consulting has sent invitations to several game planning teams, and the search and rescue team has made initial contact with three of them, and the two sides are still discussing the technical feasibility...... Chen She is in charge of this matter.

Wu Xiaoqing doesn't need to ask about the details, but the money still needs to be signed by him as usual, and the amount is not small - tens of millions of dollars will be smashed initially, but fortunately it is US dollars - there is no need to go through the account of Qinglan Consulting, and Wu Xiaoqing's funds are directly used to operate the account with funds in the United States.

The consultation meeting also started.,About the dwarf civilization in this mission.,The study of this civilization.,It's done with the gimmick of the game above.,It's called an exclusive setting team.,In fact, like all the previous tasks.,It's to find a lot of experts to give a lot of advice.。

Of course, most of it is nonsense, but as long as one out of a hundred nonsense sentences can help the task, their investment is not a loss.

Wu Xiaoqing is now trying to do just that.

The moderator spoke: "I would like to ask the participants to note that the inherent morality of such a high-tech civilization should be completely different from ours, and they cannot be speculated on the basis of the existing morality on the earth. In previous meetings, it was always said that such a world would not be possible at all, because their bodies were too small and their brains were too small to form civilizations. ”

"Here I want to emphasize that the premise of our meeting is to admit that this is already a fact, and then seek a reasonable explanation on this basis......" The feeling of speaking is quite familiar, Wu Xiaoqing looked at the name of the host in front of the report, and it was Rao Xin. Wu Xiaoqing glanced outside the office again, but Rao Xin was not there...... To be honest, Wu Xiaoqing still wants to talk to him now.

Speech No. 25: "I noticed a detail, there is a clear difference between the female and the male on the other side in terms of physical appearance, the male seems to be smaller than the female, which may be related to their underground burrowing habits...... "This is the most standard nonsense, it makes sense, but it has little to do with the task, but you can't say that it's wrong, and the company still has to pay."

Speech 14: "This squirrel-type civilization will certainly be more tightly organized than humans, because the limited space underground needs to tolerate each other more......" or nonsense.

Speech No. 2: "The monetary system in the virtual world can refer to the production mechanism of Bitcoin...... this kind of is self-inflicted, and the next meeting will directly T off, and the speculation of coins will be speculated to the aliens.

Speech No. 19: "The concept of consciousness digitization is actually not in conflict with the essence of AI......"

See! That's what counts!

Wu Xiaoqing immediately looked at it intently: "If it is really as stated in the setting, AI has developed to the point where it can be integrated into an existence similar to the brain and surpasses the primitive carbon-based creatures, then for carbon-based creatures, the most effective way to avoid being eliminated by the other party is to learn this life form of the other party." ”

According to this line of thinking, this consciousness dataization, in fact, is essentially the transformation of the physical structure formed by the natural evolution of the human brain into the data structure of the computer in a certain mode...... It's still the same in essence, but it's already a different way of life. ”

The only pity is that I didn't go deeper on this topic until the point. But this is also the case, Wu Xiaoqing marked the end of the report, especially drew a circle on the consciousness data, and added a few words - open a special topic.

The door of the office was knocked a few times at this time, and Wu Xiaoqing raised his head and saw that it was really Rao Xin that he was thinking about just now. After coming in, Rao Xin took out a leave note: "The blind date is ......"

"Blind date again?" Wu Xiaoqing smiled, "What method are you going to use this time?" ”

"No, a regular blind date. "The family arranged it," Rao Xin said, "and the company has not had anything to do recently...... Manager Chen asked me to come over and ask. ”

Wu Xiaoqing shook his head: "It's really not good now...... Now there's a thing. After speaking, he pushed the report in his hand to the other party, "When did this meeting open?" ”｜

"Yesterday afternoon's meeting ......" Rao Xin looked at Wu Xiaoqing's annotation, "It was a remote meeting, and the 19th was a Chinese student who was in Japan." ”

Wu Xiaoqing was surprised: "Our company's business has gone to Japan? ”

"It's all over the place...... Global recruitment," Rao Xin said, "Mr. Wu doesn't care about the specific business, he shouldn't know yet, and now the entire circle of international students knows that we Qinglan Consulting, and they like this kind of extra money." It's interesting, it doesn't take up time, and the name is good...... The point is that there is also a lot of money. ”

"Our company also likes international students, they are well-connected and active, and the key is ...... The price is also low, much lower than their teachers, but the opinions are all about the same, Professor Shen said that inviting them is equivalent to inviting their teachers. ”

The search and rescue team also told Wu Xiaoqing that the reason is very simple, after the students get the topic, they will definitely consult the teacher in advance about the relevant information, and the teacher can't charge the student for the question of the question - the student does not spend extra money, imports knowledge from the teacher, and directly resells it to their consulting company.

"If there is a shortage of people on this topic, you can even consider inviting his teacher to come," Speaking of this, Wu Xiaoqing suddenly remembered the idea of wanting to chat with Rao Xin just now, he thought about it for a while, and roughly determined the scope of confidentiality and the way of speaking, or decided to say, "There is still a small problem, I am here...... You can think of it as a detective novel, there is no standard answer, the technical background is like this......"

"Run?" After listening to the whole story, Rao Xin laughed, "Maybe this is to scare you, a play sung jointly with the government, the purpose is to scare these aliens away." When the Europeans went to the American continent, the natives didn't care about it and resisted desperately...... Maybe it won't be as much as it was later. ”

"The fact that a civilization can take the initiative to find each other without the other party's knowledge shows that there is a technological generation gap between the two sides, and it is normal for them to have fear. Now if aliens come to Earth in a spaceship, it is estimated that we will try to do the same, laser weapons can't do it, and it is still possible to get some nuclear warheads as fireworks and set them off. ”
