“…… A civilization 20 light-years away, running to our satellite, is carrying out colonization activities?? ”

When the Gliese people in the conference room heard the news, Zisensen was startled.

They know very well how huge the astronomical number of 20 light years is, and how much force it takes to cross it!

It's just incredible, even...... Be all abroad! Because this kind of colonization activity has no profit at all.

"We're just a mediocre star field here, right? Why did you choose this place? ”

"Probably because of the presence of liquid water...... The living environment is similar to ours. ”

"But they can't overcome our microbial environment, so what if we have liquid water on our planet?"

There was a lot of talk, and all the Gliese people were agitated.

“…… In other words, this civilization called human beings has been sending electromagnetic waves all the time to detect whether there is intelligent life here? If there is no response, they will come over to the interstellar colony? ”

However, with the idea that more is better than less, their original ancestors did not reply to anything......

This has happened, and there is no room for regret.

In this small cramped room, there was a long silence.

I saw that the astronomer continued: "Everyone, please rest easy, according to the observations of these days, the other party's scientific and technological strength is not as advanced as we imagined, but is in a more delicate stage...... In short, not powerful. ”

"Their spacecraft is about 300,000 kilometers away from us, and there is only one. There is no artificial gravity, and there is no technology that exceeds our expectations. ”

It pulled out a photo it had just taken and showed it to the crowd, with a blurry image of Earth Age.

“…… Yes, there is only one mothership, which is quite massive and should have carried a large number of people. I even suspect that in order to span such a long distance, this mothership does not have the tonnage to carry any weapons. ”

"With our most powerful interstellar missiles, loaded with some nuclear warheads, there should be a chance of hitting and destroying the opposing mothership...... In this way, the other side loses the mothership and will soon be extinct here. ”

After a moment of silence, another Gliezer scolded, "Choose war, Davion, are you crazy? In our current state, it is simply impossible to withstand a war! ”

"Plus, where did the nuclear warheads come from...... In accordance with the peace pact, we would have destroyed all of these weapons long ago...... It has even been destroyed for tens of thousands of years! ”

"yes, we don't have this weapon......"

"It's been a long, long time since there's been a war."

"We don't even have enough soldiers ......"

Many of the Gliezers were talking about the feasibility of this plan, and the state of the civilization as a whole was a bit bad at the moment......

“…… Even if the nuclear bomb production line is restarted, with the industrial capacity of one of our cities, at most one interstellar rocket can be built in half a year, plus a few nuclear warheads, even if it hits, there is no possibility of completely destroying the opponent's mothership...... It will only lead to an endless war of civilizations! ”

"Can we afford this?"

After hesitating for a while, the astronomical expert named Davian seemed to be a little unwilling, and said again: "If ......"

"What if?"

“…… Human civilization is developing our satellites, and over time, their industrial capabilities will become more and more powerful. If you want to attack, you have to do it early, not keep it going...... Otherwise, such an opportunity will slip away in the blink of an eye. ”

The leader was silent for a while, "Is there a chance that they will leave?" ”

"The probability is low...... They came here on a long interstellar voyage. There is a high probability that the fuel in the spacecraft has run out, and it is impossible to carry out the next interstellar voyage. Letting them out of here is no different than letting them die......"

The other pangolin said angrily: "Why is this happening? Don't...... Is there so many people that it can't even fit a planetary system...... If so, it is likely to be a civilization with colonial tendencies that expands indefinitely! ”

Thinking of the same planetary system, there are two different intelligent civilizations, and the other is thriving, and there is a tendency to colonize and expand; They were weakened, the people were demoralized, and every Gliese in the room felt a faint sense of terror.

"Don't be nervous, maybe it's a friendly civilization! They sent a lot of electromagnetic signals beforehand, which should be the meaning of the inquiry, and because we didn't reply, we mistakenly thought it was Borderlands...... It shows that this civilization has a basic thinking logic and etiquette culture. ”

"Maybe we can try to communicate!"

"We can cooperate amicably...... Nobody likes war! ”

The whole room was noisy, and there was a lot of disagreement.

"Enough!" The leader let out a heavy roar, stifling all the voices, and then it returned to normal, "This is not a risk that one of our cities can take, and the other cities really have no reaction to this matter?" ”

"They...... There is no view. ”

"What does it mean to have no opinion?"

"It's just that there is no opinion, it doesn't matter how long you can hide, how long you can hide, at most, during this time, you can produce some weapons that can protect yourself, and it is impossible to attack...... You also know what the city outside is like, and it is impossible to withstand a war between civilizations. ”

After discussing it for a while, these high-level officials were still determined to produce some weapons that could protect themselves first, but they did not want to attack first.

"Hey, let's talk peacefully after we have a certain amount of strength...... It would be great if we could get along safely. ”

One scholar jumped out of anger when he heard this surrender speech, "What, peace talks? It's home to the Gliezer people! Do you think that all civilizations are friendly civilizations? ”

"We don't have entanglements of interest...... Why war? ”

Another said, "Yes, we're just hiding underground...... What does it have to do with us whether the other party's civilization is good or bad? As long as we develop enough weapons to protect ourselves, what's the point of the other side attacking us? ”

"As long as we have the ability to attack each other and be able to threaten each other, this peace can last forever."

To the outrage of some Gliezers, there is not just one such dovish statement, but quite a few! Even those who agreed to the peace negotiations occupied the vast majority of the entire civilization, including their supreme leaders!

The city is quite good, and they can seriously discuss countermeasures here.

The rest of the cities...... is still in that state of drunken dreams and death, and has no determination to start a war at all.

At this point, it couldn't help but feel sad again......

This is a civilization that has completely sunk...... I can't save it, and I can't think of a good way to save it.

Almost all of the people are indifferent to what is happening in the outside world, and they just hide in the underground city. Even when threatened with death, they turned out to be an attitude of indifference...... Unless the sharp knife really cuts through the skin, it is possible to jump up and resist, that is, resist for a second or two, and then obediently lie on the ground.

It's just ...... Unreasonable!

"War! We need a war to save the whole civilization and cheer everyone up! The scholar thought to himself, "If it fails, then we will ...... together Die! ”

Several other Gliezers, who had the same idea, also looked at each other cautiously, as if they had made up their minds.

What human civilization doesn't know is that because of the emergence of human beings, on the opposite planet of life, there have been various disagreements within a civilization, and even a political riot has quietly occurred!

Crisis is coming!
