Volume 1: The New World and the Discovery of the Manuscript Volume Chapter 112: A Connection

Ancient City Manuscripts:

It doesn't matter if he wins glory for his alma mater, this has never been Tian Lei's main purpose. Although it was not long after graduation, the feeling of stepping on campus was completely different from before graduation. Tian Lei invited a few graduate students to dinner at the small restaurant at the school gate, and everyone discussed the case together, and they all felt that from a legal point of view, Tian Lei's side had a great chance of winning. But the lawyer team on the earth side is not so easy to deal with, and the reason why the earth side wants to fight a lawsuit with Wang Yiqiu is mainly to establish authority on the Martian side, so the best strategy is not to be tough and tough, and should do more work from the witness side. If a few witnesses take the initiative to withdraw the case, then the Earth Court naturally has little reason to fight again. Tian Lei felt that this trick of "drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle" was really good, so he went to contact Zhou Haoyu of the United Nations Institute of Biological Research.

The three scientists of the Institute of Biology brought back important discoveries about extraterrestrial life from Mammoth this time, but people were basically not interested in extraterrestrial life, and the focus was on the story that happened during their trip with Wang Miqiu. They were so annoyed by this kind of non-academic thing that they even blamed Charles for not secretly calling the police at the time. They initially refused Tian Lei's invitation, because the prosecution, the United Nations, had also invited them to be witnesses.

Tian Lei had no choice but to move with affection and reason, and told the three of them that if they didn't testify, then Wang Yiqiu's life might be ruined, just because he took you to Mammoth Star to pick up stones out of good intentions. The three scientists couldn't stand this kind of moral accusation, so they agreed to Tian Lei's request and became a witness for the defense. This creates a strange situation in which the defence and the "victims" have become a community of interests, working together in court against the plaintiff who protects the "victims": the United Nations.

Although he had made sufficient preparations as much as possible, Tian Lei was still a little inexplicably nervous on the day of the trial. As a young man who grew up on Earth, Tian Lei has never been to such a high-end place as the United Nations Court, and he feels his legs tremble when he walks. This is the first time in the history of Earth that a lawsuit has been brought against Mars, so many celebrities have come to observe, and 5,600 media outlets of all kinds have been waiting for interviews.

Entering the courtroom and looking at the presiding judge, Tian Lei was like a primary school student who had not done his homework facing the teacher. The brightly dressed prosecution lawyer had a contemptuous expression, looking at Tian Lei as if he was looking at a comic actor. In comparison, the suit on Tian Lei's body was bought online when he graduated in order to find a job, and it didn't fit very well. Because I don't know how to tie that kind of complicated knot, I also bought a zipper tie, which is cheap all over my body. The most important thing is that the jurors on Earth all look as evil as serial murderers, and the Martian otaku jurors they are looking for have thin arms and legs, sitting there and yawning and scratching their mobile phones, looking like they are only 5 in combat.

Tian Lei suddenly felt that his throat was choked by something, and he wanted to vomit but couldn't. Taking advantage of the fact that the court had not yet begun, he quickly ran to the bathroom and began to retch. I didn't expect myself to be so useless, and I panicked like this before I started. If Freud had been alive and had psychoanalyzed Tian Lei at that time, he would have said that both his "superego" and "id" were angry at the impotence of the "ego". Tian Lei sat on the toilet and began to swipe his mobile phone, searching for reasons for leave, and also asked a question on the Internet: "The court is about to start, what excuse should the lawyer use to ask for leave? ”

Tian Lei found that there was still a lot of discussion about this case on the Internet, netizens made various analyses of the case, predicted various possibilities, and most of them predicted that the prosecution would win, but no one guessed that the defense lawyer was thinking about how to ask for leave at this time. Suddenly, he saw a familiar screen name arguing with netizens, saying that the defense must win, because the defense lawyer has a strong psychological quality. also asked everyone to go to Mars's social media to take a look, the analysis over there is more objective, the familiar screen name is "Dongfang Hezhe", which is Du Jianguo's screen name. Tian Lei remembered that when he saw Du Jianguo's interview at that time, he did perform very well, and remembered the phone call with Du Jianguo two days ago, and somehow, he felt that his confidence was back. He found the Martians' online community, and sure enough, most of them supported his side. Tian Lei watched it for a few minutes, stood up and gave himself two mouths fiercely, and roared in a low voice: "Tian Lei, you are the most handsome, you are the strongest, you must be good!" After roaring, he trotted all the way into the courtroom, and his mood was already much more relaxed.

After the trial, Tian Lei quickly entered a fighting state, and the judge said a word to him. The judge said, "Now the court is open." Tian Lei also retorted: "What qualifications do you have to try the case of the Martian? This case should be tried on Mars." The judge asked the prosecution lawyer to speak, and before anyone could speak, Tian Lei grabbed the truth: "The victims have all become defense witnesses, what lawyer do you hire for the prosecution?"

He is like this, every time he says a word, he will grab the white before the other party even opens his mouth, so that the judge has to warn Tian Lei: If you interrupt others again, you will be kicked out. Tian Lei realized that he was overly "confident", and he should stabilize the focus.

Rest assured, the next situation was really similar to what Tian Lei had predicted in advance: the custom of the Martians to exile passengers for a short period of time during interstellar travel has been confirmed by many parties, which excludes Wang Miqiu's subjective malice. Tian Lei showed the internal surveillance video of the spacecraft, as well as the video of Wang Miqiu's Martian residence, which has legally proved Wang Miqiu's innocence, at least in the laws of Mars. No matter how the case is judged in the end, Tian Lei can already feel that most of the audience is on his side.

After a break in court, the prosecution's lawyer focused the attack on Wang's father's attempt to attack Earth, suggesting that the father and son were a criminal gang. Tian Lei said: "Wang Yiqiu is an adult, he and Wang Yinjie are two independent natural persons, Wang Yinqiu's behavior is his spontaneous behavior, and it has nothing to do with Wang Yiqiu." There is no evidence that Wang Yiqiu took the initiative to contact Wang Yinjie after the case, in fact, Wang Yinjie did not come to see his son specifically, but was just passing by. The Space Traffic Management Bureau has already punished him. ”

The prosecution lawyer also said that Wang Yinwei privately possessed nuclear weapons, Tian Lei said: "It is no secret that nuclear weapons were invented in the 20th century more than 300 years ago. Mars has not signed any nuclear non-proliferation treaty, and Wang Yinjie certainly has the right to possess nuclear weapons. In addition, Wang Yinji's case has nothing to do with this case, and it is recommended that the court handle it separately. ”

When Tian Lei invited his witnesses Zhou Haoyu, Yuri and Charles out, everyone knew that the case was over. Because Zhou Haoyu made it clear that it was a misunderstanding, Charles also said that he called the police because he didn't understand the customs of Mars, and now he can testify that Wang Yiqiu did not have malicious intentions.

Sure enough, after the witnesses finished speaking, there was an uproar in the courtroom. After some discussion, the judge pronounced the verdict in court: "Wang Miqiu is not guilty and will be released in court." ”

Hearing this verdict, Tian Lei was so happy that he shed tears, feeling that he had done such a big thing in his life, and it was worth it. He ran to the bathroom again, tidied up his appearance, and prepared to go out for interviews with hundreds of media outlets. When I went out, I found that the focus of most of the media turned out to be Zhou Haoyu. Because Zhou Haoyu announced: "The Martians are not a threat to the earth, the real threat is the mammoth star creature we discovered this time, if our guess is correct, this creature will have a powerful force unimaginable to mankind." ”

Although there have been rumors of "extraterrestrial life" in the human world for a long time, as far as "strange UFOs during World War II", "legends of Area 51", and even buildings such as "crop circles", "Easter Island stone statues", "Mayan civilization" and "pyramids" are often associated with "aliens". In recent years, people who like to travel to distant galaxies often bring back some rumors about encountering "aliens", but they are basically gossip and have never been officially confirmed. Now that the United Nations officials themselves have announced the discovery of extraterrestrial life, it is no surprise that public opinion has been detonated.

Tian Lei, who was robbed of the limelight, was very unhappy, but he was still very interested in such a thing as "extraterrestrial life", so he also stepped forward to listen to Professor Zhou's interview. Professor Zhou said that the stones they found last time on the moon and the stones they found on Mammoth this time can be identified as biological cells. It is supposed to form part of some kind of scale, but it remains to be seen whether the owner of such a scale is a mammal such as a pangolin or a reptile like a snake. Tian Lei just listened to a few words and didn't understand too much, and the reporter next to him found that Tian Lei was coming, and went up to interview him about the case.

Tian Lei still had to answer questions at first, but then the reporter's questions became more and more outrageous, asking nonsensical questions such as if the Martians invaded the earth, whether he would help Mars or help the earth, so he had to say "no comment" and quickly walked away. He went around and returned to the courtroom, and walked through the side door with Wang Miqiu.

The Earth Court issued a subpoena to Wang Yinji's company on Mars, allowing Wang Yinzhen to come to Earth for questioning. But Mars said that Wang Yinji's star registration was no longer on Mars, and the summons was transferred to "Tiangang Star". Tiangang Star is located in the Big Magellanic Nebula, which is a planet developed by Wang Yinjie himself, and the name of the planet was created by him according to the "Water Margin" 36 Tiangang 72. Wang Yinjie said that according to the law of "Tiangangxing", he did not break the law, and if he wanted to file a lawsuit, he could send a judge and a lawyer to the Tiangang court to negotiate. Tiangang is about 163,000 light-years away from the Milky Way, which is not far away. The problem is that the law of Tiangang Star is also set by Wang Yinjie himself, and what Wang Yinjie said on that planet is the law of the king, so there is not even a court on that planet. After much consideration, the Earth side decided not to go. But from this moment on, earthlings began to pay attention to the threat to the earth caused by people of alien origin like Wang Miqiu.

The focus of public opinion on the earth has gradually shifted from the case of the Wang family father and son to Professor Zhou's discovery, human society is like this, there is always the next hot spot to replace the previous hot spot. Professor Zhou and they took these stones for testing after returning to Earth from Mars, and they were surprised to find that such a large stone turned out to be a cell, and several cells were combined to form a scale-like cuticle. What kind of organism has such a large cell?

......

Wang Xijia has seen too many strange creatures since he crossed over, dinosaurs, gills, werewolves...... But I am still very interested in the "creatures" on Mammoth Star, and that huge cell, will it have some kind of connection with the legends about monkeys and eggs recorded in Egyptian temples and underwater ancient cities?
