In the negotiations just a few days ago, the other side made it clear that in order to enhance mutual understanding and smoother communication between the two sides, and not just talk on paper, the two sides could send several diplomats to each other's field to carry out diplomatic activities.

It may be a temptation, but why wouldn't humans want to know more about each other?

In particular, what is the industrial strength and scientific and technological strength of the other party, it is definitely beneficial to gather more information.

It has been more than two years since mankind settled on this planet, the development of the surface heavy industry base has basically not been delayed, and various armed forces are gradually sufficient, and under these preconditions, people have begun to have enough confidence to meet each other's challenges.

Soon, a week passed, and the training of these diplomats was in full swing.

Behind all kinds of information, Wang Junpeng was dizzy and miserable, and he didn't even have time to pick up girls. Fortunately, this job sounds really cool, and when my girlfriend heard about it, the kind of admiration she showed made people fly to the sky!

But I have to say that a fair and honest spy is not so easy to be, if you want to get more information, you have to not only play lip service, but also use your eyes to see and your brain to calculate!

A lot of industrial data, the other side can't be stupid enough to tell you directly, but diplomats can use some external performance to estimate. For example, how many people there are in a city, how many resources are consumed, and how much output there is, these professional qualities and the ability to collect data are not immediately available, but must be trained for a long time.

"Greetings! The diplomats of the other party's civilization are already coming up, and you have a month at most! ”

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, a small rocket was launched from the planet's hole in the ground while the large typhoon on the planet's surface had temporarily stopped.

Under the roaring jet flames, the rocket quickly broke through the atmosphere and separated into a small space capsule.

The power system of this capsule is not strong, and it needs to be salvaged by human shuttles on their own.

"The atmosphere of this planet is too dense, and there are powerful typhoons, and it is really difficult to develop the space industry...... The space elevator is out of the question, and it may be blown down by a typhoon. ”

"yes, but ...... Why don't there even be artificial satellites on the surface of the planet? Don't they need to? Zhang Yuan and the others were also in a relaxed mood, looking at the distant firelight, chatting casually.

"Maybe it didn't light up the tech tree?"

Many technologies are the product of a flash of inspiration, not a historical necessity. Satellites, the Internet, nylon ropes, antibiotics, a lot of technology was born by accident.

"And where did the rocket come from? Isn't it used to launch satellites? ”

"I don't know......"

After being silent for a while, Zhang Yuan suddenly turned his head and said a little seriously: "According to some of the conversations in the negotiation, we can speculate that because of this external environment, this civilization, almost every individual has a very serious fear of wilderness!" ”

"Therefore, they don't like the empty outer space at all, they don't have the same desire to explore as we do, and they don't have a high tendency to colonize the outside world. I even have a real suspicion that they want to negotiate peacefully. ”

Captain Zhao nodded: "Hey, maybe it's because there are no wilderness phobia individuals, all of them have been eliminated by the typhoon." ”

"This kind of civilization that doesn't like to expand outward, if you don't see it with your own eyes, really ...... It's hard to imagine. ”

In fact, this phenomenon is not incomprehensible, for example, in the earth, some organisms will commit suicide after reproducing to a certain number; There are also some animals that have no interest in expanding outward, such as sloths......

As an expert in the historiography of the new civilization, Zhang Yuan quickly grasped the deeper meaning of this strange phenomenon...... Individuals in this civilization instinctively prefer claustrophobic, cramped environments, which bring a sense of security. Just because of the difference in the living environment of "typhoons often blowing on the surface", there is a huge deviation in the ideology of the entire civilization

This mentality and subconscious, compared with human civilization, may have certain inherent defects, which have caused a lot of obstacles when expanding externally. Because humans prefer a spacious and bright environment, wilderness phobia is only a minority among human individuals.

However, this "defect" is only what humans think of as a defect. Maybe the other party thinks this kind of consciousness is normal? It is even possible to think that the colonial tendencies brought about by the mentality of human beings who like spacious and bright environments are very stupid. Because there are powerful civilizations in the universe, if you accidentally touch a hard nail, you will directly go to ashes.

It's going to last a long time, isn't it?

"Well, according to this reasoning, is it true that human beings are perfect?"

Compared with the trillions of civilizations in the universe, do human beings have natural flaws that they are not aware of?

Absolutely!

And no less!

"Something ingrained in culture, something that doesn't want to change."

Zhang Yuan shook his head vigorously, putting these cranky thoughts behind him for the time being.

Returning to the matter at hand, it would certainly be a good thing if a lasting peace could be achieved.

For such a long time, people have done nothing but build nuclear warheads, including the artificial incubation of a large number of babies.

The benefits of the war are too small, and the people's lives are miserable, even if they are victorious, can they still run to the other party's planet to plunder, impossible!

And the current human beings really don't have much aggressive tendency, and there are so many planets here. The other party's one is not the best, and it is difficult to develop, so there is really no need to fight to the death.

"Attention crew, shuttle, countdown to departure!" In the middle of this conversation, Captain Zhao issued an order.

"Five, four, three, two, one! Let's go! ”

A few seconds later, a small shuttle flew out of the mothership, spraying pale blue plasma flames.

After moving away from the mothership, it quickly became a tiny star.

After two hours of agonible waiting, the small shuttle finally approached the capsule, and the pilot pressed a button, and the carbon fiber ropes of several spring launchers hooked precisely to the robotic arm of the capsule

With something of this weight, the shuttle was slightly underpowered, and could only accelerate slowly, and then slowly pulled the capsule away from its original orbital position.

It took two days to go around the Gliese 581g for six cycles and to officially break away from the planet's gravity and fly in the direction of the satellite.

"Just stay there...... Tell the diplomats on the other side that our guys are going to conduct safety checks on their capsules. Captain Zhao said directly to the liaison officer.

"Understood."

This is also what was said in advance, everyone is afraid that the other side is hiding something in the capsule, such as a nuclear bomb, or a weapon of mass destruction such as a biochemical virus.

In case the other party wants to sacrifice the lives of several individuals and carry out some kind of self-explosion attack, it will always be the human beings themselves who will suffer.

Anyway, even if some etiquette is lost, it's always right to be safe.
