Chapter 243: The City of Art

Ten minutes later, at the exit of the underground city, more than a dozen Gliese people dressed in different clothes walked out. The tallest one is only 1.2 meters, and the human figure is much taller in comparison.

But Zhang Yuan didn't dare to take it lightly, height and weight are not important, what matters is wisdom.

An intelligent race with an IQ no less than that of humans, a race with nuclear weapons and interstellar attack methods, even if it is already in a state of decline, is not something to be taken lightly at will.

"Welcome all human friends to visit, we seek friendly cooperation between the two sides in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences......

The leader of the Gliese was named Ganyador, and he spoke the universal voice of the Gaian civilization, and the translator in the headset quickly translated the meaning.

The two shook hands with each other in accordance with human etiquette, and the pangolins had six thick fingers, but they looked very flexible.

Welcoming according to human etiquette is already a gesture of friendship.

When he heard that this leader had been a diplomat and went to the human spaceship for an investigation, Zhang Yuan was a little surprised, at that time, he thought he was an ordinary diplomat, but he didn't expect that he was already a high-level leader.

He was so face-blind that he couldn't tell if he had seen any of them......

Diplomat Wang Junpeng leaned on the side of the earphone and said quietly: "Mr. Zhang Yuan, don't care so much, it may be that the other party's culture is like this...... It may also be that they decided to negotiate peacefully after examining the human condition. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, indicating that he already understood the situation.

After a brief conversation between the two sides, some greeters quickly led all the twenty-odd humans to the underground city.

The whole greeting etiquette was very strange, with a few Gliese people holding broom-like things and sweeping the floor in front of them. They sweep while the rest of the people walk forward, as if sweeping the floor in front of them and letting the guests go, which is the greatest respect for the guests......

However, alien civilizations, no matter what culture is understandable, with the concept of respecting the other party's culture, Zhang Yuan hardly showed any expression.

The ruined and bleak underground city has an air of darkness similar to that described in the written report. The air here was very humid, and soon a fine layer of sweat formed on the spacesuit.

Fortunately, these spacesuits have a self-cleaning effect, with a special coating similar to the surface of a lotus flower, and water droplets roll down to the ground.

Zhang Yuan and the others didn't go too deep, and then ahead, through an isolation and disinfection room, it was the living area of human beings, and they would live in this area for a while.

In order to prevent biochemical contamination and to have concerns about human privacy, the Gliese will not be present in this area.

The moment everyone walked into the living area, the lights instantly brightened, and they thought they had come to their own spaceship.

Lin Xuanxuan used the medical equipment she carried with her to briefly check the air situation.

“…… No harmful microorganisms have been detected at this time. However, if you can wear a helmet, try to wear a helmet, and you have to wear a mask anyway. ”

"It's impossible to disinfect in a complete sense."

Zhang Yuan nodded and looked around.

Almost the same room structure, similar decoration, and similar lighting benefits as the Earth Age, which shows that the other party has indeed spent a lot of effort...... Aside from the fact that the planet's gravity is a little bigger, the Gliese are powerless to change.

Of course, what the other party doesn't know is that compared to the environment inside the spaceship, human beings actually prefer life under the blue sky and white clouds. It would be even better if the room could be built on the surface.

"Okay guys, let's take a break for a while...... The exchange meeting is about to start, and we must act according to each other's schedule, and if we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait for an unknown amount of time. ”

Zhang Yuan opened a video installation in the room, and soon, the figure of Gan Yaduo, the leader of the Gliese civilization, appeared on the screen.

"Dear human leaders, I hope you enjoy this living quarter."

"Very nice indeed, thank you very much for your hospitality!"

After a brief handover, at four o'clock in the afternoon, after a few hours of rest, a hastily arranged an art and science exchange meeting.

Despite the fact that all the diplomatic teams were a little tired after flying in the sky for a few days, if the opportunity was missed, the Gliezers would have to sleep for more than ten days, which was an unbearable ordeal for humanity.

At this exchange meeting, in front of the public, several human artists first performed music that belonged to human beings, some of which were self-created songs, and some of which were classic music of earth civilization.

And the other party used a very strange instrument, a shell-like stone, which sounded like a variant of the wooden fish, and it couldn't be said to be good, but it couldn't be said to be bad, and it had a wonderful rhythm and regularity.

Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Xuanxuan next door, as if he was enjoying alien music, and hurriedly touched the other party and blinked. Anyway, being idle is boring, and he plans to close his eyes and take the opportunity to take a nap......

Lin Xuanxuan comprehended and blinked.

This guy is always like this, he wants to sleep as soon as he comes out......

Next, the artists exchanged instruments and began to instruct each other on how to play.

For a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

In fact, some human musical instruments, especially the violin, are extremely difficult, and the average person can only play a bunch of noise. But some musicians on the other side still showed great interest.

"Crunch ......"

Sure enough, the unpleasant noise was pulled, and the musician was a little unconvinced, a little curious, and tried tirelessly.

And the other party's musical instrument is also very particular about use, and it is not so easy to master.

Zhang Yuan was not interested in these toys in the first place, but many of the humans on the spaceship, including his own wife, were interested, and that was enough......

As long as you understand each other's culture and have a place to understand each other, there is a point that can be broken through, and the communication will be much smoother.

The next few days were spent on painting, sculpture, and dance.

To Zhang Yuan's surprise, the artistic evaluation of the Gliese civilization by human artists is actually quite high!

This kind of evaluation does not mean deliberately pleasing the other party, but an evaluation from the heart.

It is often heard in the living area what artwork discusses what kind of feelings are contained, what kind of thoughts are expressed, and so on...... In some places, there were disagreements and even quarrels.

"Lao Guo, what do you think? Do you have any favorite art? Zhang Yuan patted a middle-aged man on the shoulder.

An engraving artist surnamed Guo was commenting feverishly: "Hundreds of thousands of years of attainment, there is indeed quite a remarkable place! Look at this carving, there is a beauty of strength, containing a strong emotion that tries to fight against nature! ”

"I see, it's the kind of depression that science can't be born for a long time!" The more Lao Guo spoke, the louder and more fanatical, "And it's an abstract beauty!" That feeling, like someone is hammering steel, do you have that kind of grinding knock sound? ”

Zhang Yuan looked at it, this sculpture was just a stone, and some crooked lines were indiscriminately carved, and he couldn't feel the "knock" sound of tempering at all.

Is...... Inexplicable!

"It's a pity that I didn't see the real thing...... It's just an image. If it's genuine, it's even more shocking! Why don't you show us the real thing? Isn't it in this city? It's possible...... Alas. ”

Zhang Yuan glanced at the artist surnamed Guo very strangely, and sighed in his heart, "These freaks...... It's like we're from a different world. ”

All in all, everything seems to be going very well so far......
