Chapter 452: This is a stand-in
Colonel Wallace greeted him, but stopped when he was two meters away.
According to the task given to him by the council, he should communicate with the other party immediately at this time, but Wallace thought, can the aliens understand him?
He imagined countless ways to meet the aliens, but when they did show up, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Could it be that I want to say something...... Do you speak English?"
Thinking of this, Wallace realized that silence was better than sound at this point.
He was blessed, and a classic image flashed through his mind.
Wallace stretched out his index finger and gently probed it, which was the same as E. T's contact gesture.
Countless cameras were focused on him, and everyone through the screen behind the curtain looked at that index finger, holding their breath.
The woman glanced at her index finger and said calmly, "I need a formal reception, don't tell me this is?"
Wallace's fingers froze in mid-air, and he quickly said in embarrassment, "Oh, oh! yes, sorry, we're ready...... Please!"
The woman's fluent English made him very uncomfortable, and he hurriedly withdrew his fingers and made an inviting gesture.
"When did she learn our language?"
"Maybe just a few days?"
"Sure enough, I said that the black ball has been watching us. ”
There was a heated discussion on the channel, and in fact the council had everything ready, including the city hall near Angel Beach that had been temporarily converted into a reception area.
They immediately asked Wallace to come with an alien visitor.
Wallace walked in front, and the woman in the back suddenly reached out and touched the empty space.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a black metal inverted triangular container appeared in the air, just enough to accommodate the lower half of the woman's body.
And the empty space she caressed with her hand was also propped up on the edge of the inverted triangle.
The whole metal just levitated, carrying the woman forward.
Wallace looked at her distractedly, and the advisors behind her couldn't understand the technology at all.
"The heat cannot be detected, and the material cannot be analyzed......"
"Mass conversion? Or is it invisible before?"
"The technology gap is too big......"
Ignoring how shocked the advisory group was, Wallace walked quickly in front and said sideways: "Hello, welcome to Earth, you can call me Wallace, am I lucky enough to know your name?"
"Black balls. The woman said without hesitation.
The corners of Wallace's mouth twitched, this name is so perfunctory...... Brico Baby?
"You speak English so well. Wallace smiled.
The woman tilted her head and said, "Pay attention to my mouth, I'm not speaking English." ”
Wallace was stunned, and the woman's mouth shape really didn't seem to match what he heard.
"But I know ...... It's ......"
The woman said, "This is a simple translator that has deciphered all the languages of your civilization at the beginning of the landing. ”
Wallace was horrified, but quickly stabilized his expression. Translating Earth's languages is not that complicated, these are aliens whose technology is far superior to that of humans, and it is normal to easily decipher all their languages.
"So do you speak your native language?"
The woman said, "No, I'm speaking Chinese." ”
"Huh?" Wallace was stunned.
"In fact it took me longer to get used to communicating with my vocal cords than it was to decipher your language, which physically cannot use my native language, so I chose the most informative language. The woman said calmly.
"......" Wallace's expression froze, this sentence was very informative.
The channel said fiercely: "I don't speak my native language because the other party's physiology is very different from ours, and they don't communicate with their vocal cords at all!"
"I see, maybe the victim was not an accident, the black ball deliberately chose the sea area where an earthling landed, so as to obtain a human sample. ”
Wallace asked as he walked, "Did you parasitize the earthlings?"
The woman said calmly, "...... If you think you're using a remote control, you're also parasitic. ”
Wallace was surprised, looked at the unicorn and asked, "Is your body still in the ship?
The woman denied: "My body is at home." ”
"???" Wallace was stunned, at home?
The woman said, "My probe found you, why am I in the probe?"
Her tone was like saying something that was justified in common sense, and Wallace was speechless.
At the same time, there has been a lot of noise in the channel.
"God, that's an unmanned probe?"
"She's been in her home civilization, and it was only after the probe discovered that she observed us in some way, and over-the-moment to control a human to come into contact with us. ”
"Sure enough, it's a stand-in!"
If you think about it, this is indeed an extremely convenient way to sail.
As long as the technology is sufficient, the aliens don't need to explore it themselves, and send countless probes to every star system.
If a probe discovers a living planet, it would be good to observe it through the probe, and even directly control the creatures on that planet, which is equivalent to a person controlling a game character and indirectly descending on that planet.
In comparison, it is very inefficient to drive a spaceship to explore, wasting a lot of time and manpower.
Based on this information, the advisory group of the Global Council quickly simulated the exploration of the black ball.
One person can receive signals from thousands of detectors while sitting at home. Most of the time you can do something else, and you only need to pay attention to it when a probe is sending back data.
The Braco Boer in front of him may be one of the operators in charge of several detectors in the Black Ball Civilization.
"That black ball turned out to be the von Neumann machine of an alien civilization exploring the stars. ”
"No wonder she approached us as an earthling, but they didn't come at all. ”
"The idea that there must be aliens in the spaceship is purely a technical limitation and the habitual thinking that we have. ”
"In fact, as long as the technology is up to standard, we will definitely use this way of exploration. ”
The advisors were among the top experts in the world and they quickly understood and figured out the whole process.
A certain probe discovered the earth's civilization, so the aliens paid attention to it and chose to land a probe in an area with a human being. During this period, because he was completely unfamiliar with the earth, he ignored any of their signals.
After a few days, he successfully deciphered all the languages and had a general understanding of the entire Earth civilization before he manipulated the bodies of the earthlings to come out and contact them.
This is the manifestation of an alien civilization that discovered Earth for the first time.
The advisory group realized that they had been misled by science fiction movies because of their inexperience.
If it's really like in the movies, the aliens themselves come to Earth, then they should be suspicious: this is not the first time they have come to Earth.
"This is a real first time!"
"Wallace, express to her our desire for peaceful coexistence, we must make the best impression on the aliens. ”
Watching Wallace laugh and talk with the aliens, all the representatives of the Global Council rushed to the town hall to wait.
Under Wallace's guidance, the woman floated slowly up the steps, and two rows of honor guards stood in the doorway, opening the door for her.
Hundreds of delegates were already standing inside, smiling and greeting him, flanked by the highest band playing soothing yet formal music.
To this, the woman's face passed by calmly.
"This is the ...... of the Global Council," Wallace said, introducing the P5 representatives.
Seeing that the woman didn't mean to shake hands at all, several people didn't care, but smiled: "We are very willing to respect the culture of your civilization, and when we meet for the first time, we don't know how to express our enthusiasm for welcoming you." ”
The woman smiled and said, "You don't have that organ......
"......," Wallace twitched.
Although he understood that the woman meant that they earthlings did not have the body parts to be used in the etiquette of the Black Ball civilization, he still heard this awkwardly.
"So ......"
"Goo-Goo......
Just as one of the delegates was about to say that he should follow the local customs, he heard a rumbling sound in the woman's stomach.
Everyone was stunned, this is the stomach screaming?
Immediately, a member of the advisory group in the channel said: "The other party's etiquette! This is the other party's etiquette!"
"She said we don't have the corresponding organs, but we still make such sounds!"
"The ventriloquist will be on the scene in less than thirty seconds!"
The expressions of the five permanent representatives remained unchanged, waiting for the ventriloquist master to arrive.
However, at this moment, the woman smiled and said, "I injected the double with the energy that my body needs, but my belly is still hungry for food. ”
Everyone knows that the human body will still be hungry just by replenishing energy, just like a fat person, all the fat in the body is energy reserves, but the stomach is empty, and the stomach will growl like a dry grind.
They attach so much importance to each other that even some of the physiological movements of human beings themselves are considered to be the profound etiquette of the other party.
Seeing this, the woman said, "My body is your race, and in all the places where this body is involved, you should treat her as your own." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand very standardly.
