From the perspective of human beings, the starting point of the Gliese civilization is really terrible! Although life was very stressful and comfortable in primitive times, it became extremely difficult to continue to develop.

Zhang Yuan shook his head, "The ubiquitous huge typhoons of the home planet have limited the development of the surface industry, and its own physiological conditions have determined that it has to be dormant most of the time, according to the eyes of human beings, it really can't be worse." ”

Captain Zhao sighed: "Zhang Yuan, where do you have the confidence to pity other civilizations?" According to the eyes of other advanced civilizations, isn't our starting point bad? Just like that Zero-XZ, it has one more dimension than our innate nature, and it can also crack computers, and even crack bioelectricity, what an advantage! ”

"The civilization in the universe with a higher starting point than ours may be more than the amount of rice you eat in a lifetime, right? It's just that if there is no comparison of these defects, we ourselves are not aware of them at all, and we are even accustomed to them. ”

The atmosphere fell silent for a while.

I have to admit that what Captain Zhao said is most likely true.

Watching the shuttle carrying the five astronauts officially depart, and the blue plasma flame burst out with dazzling blue light, Zhang Yuan sighed faintly, hoping that this diplomatic journey would go smoothly.

I also wish those brave diplomats that they can bring valuable first-hand information to mankind.

……

A civilization in a stable state can last for a long, long time if it does not destroy itself or encounters natural disasters that are difficult to resist.

100,000 years, millions of years, or even 10 million years are not unusual!

Just like the period of the ancient apes of mankind, the great stagnation of millions of years is just a snap of a finger.

The period of rapid rise of civilization is much shorter, or 10,000 years, or 1,000 years, or even only a hundred years......

It is an objective statistical law that the extremes of prosperity and decline, and the extremes of things must be reversed.

According to the calculation of the duration of the rising period and the duration of the plateau period, the vast majority of low-level civilizations in the universe have entered the plateau period, and most of them are in a mediocre state, and they cannot even leave their own galaxies, and only a few can become real interstellar civilizations.

In other words, the starry sky is so vast that most civilizations are engaged in meaningless reincarnation.

A year ago and a year later, millions of years ago and millions of years later, 100 million years ago and 100 million years later, no matter which point in time you observe, you will come to almost the same conclusion.

Because these civilizations simply do not change!

As the sun set, a fiery red fiery cloud was reflected.

After the ship rubbed against the air, a white jet mark was made.

This area is eternal twilight, and when there are no typhoons, the whole sky looks a little redder than the twilight on Earth.

Looking at the scene outside the window, Wang Junpeng suddenly remembered the days when he was the home star, the gambler father held a wine bottle, and after losing miserably, he was drunk, and finally asked his son to carry it back.

This subtle emotion made him feel inexplicably nostalgic.

Actually, it's not nostalgia, it's just a memory......

Earth...... It's a rough world.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, all the passengers shook violently.

The shuttle released a huge parachute at this moment and began to slow down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please note that in about two hours, we will be able to reach our predetermined position on the ground."

This shuttle has been debugged for more than half a year, and it has enough power to shuttle between planets and space.

There were five diplomats in this line, one was a spaceship pilot, one was an older professor, and the other three were all young people, that is, newly trained diplomats.

"Don't be nervous, there are all the people of the entire civilization standing behind us!" The old professor smiled and said, obviously in a good mood, "And we've already been in contact with the Gliese, haven't we?" ”

"No nervousness...... It's the first time I've been a hero, and I'm a little excited! Wang Junpeng hurriedly responded.

"It's not so easy to be a hero! If you're not careful, you'll be treated as a bear. Hearing their ridicule, everyone laughed, and the tension dissipated a lot.

As the first interstellar diplomats, as long as they don't make the whole thing too bad, they will definitely go down in history and be remembered by history!

Two hours later, there was a soft "bang", and the spacecraft successfully landed in a relatively flat area on the ground.

After the cabin door opened, Wang Junpeng wore a spacesuit and took the lead in stepping on the surface of this planet.

In the distance, this is a vast desert plain, and some mushroom-like yellow plants grow on the ground, which will react like mimosas when touched and retract to the ground. This stress response is also in response to frequent typhoons.

Because anaerobic respiration does not release energy quickly, all the animals and insects here grow very slowly. On the contrary, under the eternal light, plants grow quite quickly, so as long as you are not picky eaters, you are unlikely to be at risk of starvation.

Wang Junpeng raised his head and squinted at the orange-red sun, which was as huge as a millstone because of its relative proximity to the star, and the light intensity was even dimmer than the twilight of the earth.

The temperature at the surface is about 11 degrees Celsius. The gravity is a little bit strong, as if carrying a sandbag.

If you live on this planet...... It seems to be good, which is completely in line with the artist's imagination of an alien planet.

"Guys, please help put away the parachute, we're going to continue our departure."

"Got it!"

There is no time to be sentimental, and the calm period of the climate is only half a day, and after a while, there will be a strong wind. Everyone hurriedly packed up the huge parachute, and then returned to the shuttle and drove to the final destination.

With a series of ground tremors, this weedy field was scratched with several deep tire marks......

Over the course of 200,000 years, the Gliese have built huge and complex underground cities underneath the planet, reaching depths of up to two kilometers at the deepest point.

Wang Junpeng even felt that this civilization was a bit cowardly, and if you think from the other party's point of view, their choice is really very strange...... But as a real human being, he wished that the other party would be more cowardly, so that humans could get more benefits in communication.

"First of all, I would like to remind you that this time we are not here to scrape oil and water, but to comprehensively consider the strength and weakness of this civilization." The old professor spoke.

"According to scientists' speculation, they may have entered the final end of civilization, so they do not have any will to fight......

"But speculation is just speculation, it is more important to be humble and cautious, and no one knows if the other side is still capable of fighting...... We don't need to fight each other, we've lost too much time building weapons. If this continues, it will be detrimental to the entire civilization, and even if it is defeated, what will it do? ”

The rest of the group all nodded.

Half an hour later, the shuttle drove to a specific platform, where the rocket was launched. Then the ground shook and a lot of dust was raised. As if it had fallen into disrepair, the entire mechanism produced a loud rumbling noise.

Wang Junpeng and the others did not panic, but waited quietly. After the platform descended to the underground city, they could see the specific appearance of the entire city.

It's barely clean, it can only be said to be barely.

Like a complex underground labyrinth, the passage is generally only 1.7 meters high, and the highest is only 2 meters, barely enough for humans to walk in.

There were several Gliese people, already waiting quietly in this square.

"Friends from human civilization, welcome to our planet."

Because he has been in contact with these pangolins on the spaceship for a long time, Wang Junpeng is no stranger to it, and generously made a etiquette from the other party's civilization: bend down, put one hand on his back, and put the other hand on his ear.

He said very formally: "Thank you, friend of the Gliese civilization, for greeting you...... This is a small gift from our leaders and we hope you enjoy it. ”

It is a booklet about the art and painting of human civilization, including some oil paintings from the West, as well as ink paintings from the East. According to the etiquette of the Gliese people, it is a very friendly gift.

"Please come with us." The leader politely accepted the pamphlet and greeted.
