That night, at twelve o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Yuan lay on the bed and tossed and turned, the internal chaos had basically been solved, I don't know why, he was still in a state of insomnia.

Compared with the great terror brought by aliens, the little thing about the people in the rear is actually not a matter at all, at most it is just a reminder to the top that the people are blind and short-sighted, and it is necessary to improve the overall quality and so on. Of course, that simple patriotic enthusiasm also moved them extremely high-level.

Now the most critical thing is to urgently produce a few small electromagnetic guns capable of intercepting nuclear bombs, and if the speed can be more than 100 kilometers per second, then the success rate of interception will be quite high.

But the speed of 100 kilometers per second is not something that can be done by talking, it requires materials with very good performance, and there are still several key difficulties in the production of these materials, not that they can come out of a pat on the head......

As a result, he lost sleep for most of the night, and he was called up by Captain Zhao again.

"Lao Zhang! Come on! ”

"What's wrong again...... There's not going to be another rocket, is there? ”

Zhang Yuan didn't dare to delay, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and he jumped up from the bed in a hurry.

"No, it's not ......" Captain Zhao hesitated for a moment before saying, "The other party seems to be ...... Surrendered! ”

"What...... What the? Surrender? ”

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, and he almost suspected that he had misheard.

This fact was completely beyond his expectations, so much so that he was stunned...... Then a few seconds.

"Come on anyway!"

Zhang Yuan hurriedly came to the captain's room again, because it was already three o'clock in the morning, except for some officers on duty, everyone had basically gone to sleep, and only a few information scientists stayed inside, including Dr. Li Zhendong from the Information Security Department.

Li Zhendong's face was swollen into the color of pig liver, and he said excitedly: "This electromagnetic wave has just been received, and the language is the universal language of the galaxy given to us by the Gaia civilization, and it has been studied for a long time, so it doesn't need to be deciphered to come out." ”

"Look!"

Zhang Yuan stared at the screen carefully, only to see that it was written: "Unknown civilization, or human civilization, hello, I am Gan Yaduo, the leader of the Gliese civilization, we are a peace-loving and friendly civilization......"

He couldn't help but wipe his nose, anyway, every civilization says that it is "peace-loving", just like the countries on earth.

“…… Just a few days ago, a civil strife broke out within our planet, and Davian, the leader of the main battle faction, tried to start a civilization war and launched that rocket......"

"After the failure of the rebellion, I have committed suicide by swallowing a gun, but fortunately those nuclear bombs did not cause you serious losses......

"I think that our planetary system is so big, we can put aside the controversy and develop it together, instead of an interstellar war of life and death......"

The tone is friendly, and at the end there is an invitation letter inviting the leaders of the Earth Age to their planet to discuss joint development.

Zhang Yuan didn't know what to say......

The whole letter was filled with a strong sense of weirdness, Zhang Yuan felt very weird, really weird, and this feeling was a little indescribable, it simply made his heart beat terribly.

Shelving disputes and co-developing?

Could it be a trap?

That was his first thought.

Zhang Yuan always felt that this matter was a bit strange, he was still launching a nuclear bomb attack a few days ago, and he was ...... immediately after a few days Surrendered?

Even if there are traps, don't be so mentally retarded.

"Lao Zhao, it can't be said to be a surrender, right?"

"It seems to be kind of interesting...... Peaceful coexistence? But it's definitely better to have communication than to have no communication at all. ”

Several people pondered for a while, and they all felt that the second monk was confused.

"Invitation?" Zhang Yuan frowned and said, "...... The other party doesn't think that if they arrest our diplomats, they will make us obediently obey orders, are they a civilization similar to the Zerg? Only one absolute core of wisdom? Or is it artificial intelligence, which lacks roots in the head? ”

The current development model of human civilization, to be honest, is not a big problem without anyone.

If he Zhang Yuan hangs up, civilization will still move forward, and although it is a great loss to lose his talent, it will definitely not be unbearable.

Even if Captain Zhao, the highest-ranking leader, is kidnapped, he can save it, but if he can't save it, he will be given up by the rest of the leaders without hesitation, and it will be enough to send another person to be the captain anyway......

"It's hard to say...... Do you really want to live together peacefully? Captain Zhao frowned and fell into deep thought, "Don't underestimate the alien civilizations with intelligence, if they are so stupid, we have nothing to worry about...... Assuming they were a single intelligence, it would be even less likely to make such an invitation. ”

Several information experts who deciphered the secret were talking about it.

"I think the other side may have run out of means of attack and is trying to find a way to delay time?"

Or rather, the means by which high-dimensional fragments absorb the nuclear bomb were observed...... Feeling a fear of the unknown? Li Zhendong said angrily and funny.

"It could also be a temptation...... Yes, test our desire to attack! ”

After discussing it for a long time, there was no good result. Because it was too late and the spirit was not high, everyone had to go back to their respective homes to rest for a while.

……

The next morning, after sleeping for two or three hours, Zhang Yuanding woke up from his sleep with a dark circle under his eyes, and saw that the time was just half past six, and he didn't sleep long at all.

Lin Xuanxuan was still sleeping very sweetly next to her, as if she was fine...... Also, with a reliable man by his side, even if the sky falls, he can't delay his beauty sleep.

Zhang Yuan rubbed his eyes, slowed down for a while, and finally felt a little sober, and picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table. There are already many people who have heard that "the other side wants peace talks", and the various discussion messages on mobile phones have gone crazy to more than 6,000!

He didn't bother to look at it, and when he got up, he grabbed a loaf of bread from the dining car and ate it while rushing to an emergency meeting.

He still can't believe it, and the fact that "the other party wants peace talks" sounds quite unbelievable...... But it did happen.

Even if it is a lie, it only proves that aliens seem to think differently than humans.

There were many people gathered in the conference room, and they got together to discuss, and soon got a point of view that Zhang Yuan and a few other people did not expect.

One of the scientists said, "Guys, since this message was sent in the language of the Gaia civilization, can we assume that this civilization has also encountered the Gaian civilization?" Moreover, they have a certain amount of common sense about the civilization of the universe......"

I've also encountered the Gaia civilization, so it won't be so coincidental, right?

The probability is too low!

Zhang Yuan said: "Actually, it doesn't have to be that I have encountered the Gaia civilization...... I'd rather like to say it's a galactic lingua franca. The mother civilization that invented this language was strong enough and influential enough in the galaxy that over time, it became the lingua franca of cosmic civilization diplomacy. ”

"Because the planetary-class ship we encountered was in that language. What's that...... Noah civilization, right? ”

Captain Zhao nodded, "What Zhang Yuan said makes sense, and I am also more inclined to this is a galactic common language." ”

"In other words, this Gliese civilization, let's call it the Gliese civilization, has encountered other aliens, so they will know about these ......"

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, damn, is it so weird......

"So ......," said another expert, standing up, "is it possible that this surrender is an interstellar etiquette?" If you surrender, you can't kill them all? Just like in medieval Europe, wars between nobles, if they were captured, they could redeem themselves by paying a little ransom? ”

"It won't be so harmonious...... "Zhang Yuan muttered in his heart.
