Chapter 227: Interstellar Diplomacy Negotiations
It was under various discussions, whether the other side wanted to paralyze humanity or really wanted to surrender - especially after careful discussion by various military experts, everyone came to a final conclusion......
If the other side wants to negotiate peacefully, then negotiate peacefully!
"Yes, even if the other party wants to find an excuse to buy time, don't humans need to buy time?"
"For now, we don't have the ability to hit each other strongly, we can only be beaten passively. Therefore, it seems that it is not bad to go down like this...... In any case, it is absolutely impossible to stop the production of various weapons that are currently being planned. ”
Soon, the whole team drafted a "non-aggression pact", including "mutual respect, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other's internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence", which was sent through electromagnetic waves.
Everyone knew in their hearts that without a third-party witness, this agreement could not have any effect and could be torn up at any time. The most effective relationship between civilizations is one of interests, not a jumble of morality, commitment, personal qualities, etc.
The nervous and anxious wait began, and on the third day, the communications department received another reply, largely agreeing to the non-aggression clause, but commenting on some details, such as "leaving this satellite and relocating to a more distant planet".
What kind of interstellar jokes, of course it is impossible for humans to agree to these demands!
Changing a planet, changing a base, coming and going, the time of the entire industrial development will be extended by several years! Maybe in the next few years, the other party will be able to create a lot of interstellar weapons!
What people lack most is time, how can they agree to such a clause?
Zhang Yuan really had no interest in this kind of clause that had no nutrition and could be torn up at any time, and he returned to the major laboratories all day long, urging the progress of space weapon research.
What is reassuring is that after overtime and emergency production, the first small electromagnetic cannon has finally been produced!
Although with the word "small", the electromagnetic cannon itself has a mass of at least 6 tons, and the long spiral accelerator resembles a snail shell.
After testing, it can accelerate a bullet the size of a soybean to a speed of 150 kilometers per second in 3 seconds!
This speed is 1,000 times that of traditional gunpowder bullets, and it can intercept super missiles in space with a certain probability. Of course, it takes a long time to cool down a bullet because of the poor material technology, but this electromagnetic cannon still brings a little sense of security.
On the contrary, Captain Zhao and others racked their brains for various terms with great interest, and the negotiations were very vigorous.
According to their words, even if these clauses do not have any binding effect, they can test the thinking mode, ideology, and logic of the other party in the negotiation process......
After all, the other party is an alien civilization, not a hostile country on Earth, and if you really start a war, you will live or die, no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious.
On the tenth day, the entire "Non-Aggression and Friendship Pact" actually reached an agreement, including that the other side allowed humans to temporarily inhabit this satellite; In exchange, humanity needs to evacuate spy satellites above the atmosphere; The two sides need to maintain communication, personnel exchanges need to inform each other, and so on.
"It's as ...... as it really is"
Zhang Yuan read these terms, snorted coldly, and sneered at them.
Humanity's withdrawal of its own satellites can be said to be a necessary concession, and no civilization with a good temper can let the reconnaissance tools of other civilizations fly around above the atmosphere of its own planet.
At the same time, after reaching an agreement, the other party sent another invitation letter, inviting the human high-level to come to their planet to discuss deeper cooperation, such as some technological and cultural transactions.
"Dear friends of human civilization, our civilization has been in contact with two powerful interstellar civilizations in the long years of the past 200,000 years."
"We are deeply aware that the benefits of exchanges between civilizations far outweigh the ...... of confrontation between them"
"According to our observations, there is no huge generation gap between the scientific level and technical level of your civilization and ours. So, why not sit down calmly and talk about how you can work together on a deeper level...... More exchanges will promote friendship between the two sides, rather than the current state of trembling. ”
"It's hard to get to the real top by your own development. Every civilization has its own limitations in thinking, and it is impossible to fully understand the profound and complex nature. ”
The most worrying thing is this invitation letter, Captain Zhao and the others are quite uncertain, after such a long period of hypocrisy and grievances, the other party seems to really have the intention of cooperating......
"Captain, I think it's quite necessary to send a diplomatic team to conduct an interstellar expedition...... "A member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said excitedly. After a few days of negotiations, I feel that the other party's logical way of thinking is similar to ours, and he should understand this truth. ”
Zhang Yuan also frowned and said, "That's right, as long as our rear is strong enough, the diplomats in front are the safest." Killing a diplomat is arguably the most stupid thing to do, and it has no benefit other than to provoke undying hatred......"
"If the other side really wants peace, there is no need for us to fight to the death."
After two hours of discussion, everyone reached a consensus.
How can there be a reason for face-to-face negotiations at the top level at the beginning? There are many things that can be solved through remote dialogue and then consider face-to-face negotiations.
And then...... It doesn't have to be a human to go down first, you can let the other person come up first!
Zhang Yuan's mood became a little more relaxed, and it was not bad to buy a little time for the time being. In any case, until either side tears up the agreement, or the real peace talks succeed, this kind of hypocrisy will have to go on forever.
As soon as he returned to his office, he hurriedly dialed a satellite phone, "Lao Ye, how is the repair of your shuttle over there?" It may be really necessary to use it in the future. It's been a real eye-opener for me these past few days, and it's really not necessarily going to war. ”
"Huh? Almost...... Really to send diplomats? "Ye Kaifu, as the main engineer of the surface heavy industry base, has to be busy with this and that these days, and he is almost paralyzed.
But there is no way, if he is not responsible, who will be responsible?
Zhang Yuandao: "The results of the negotiations have come out, and on the surface, it is still necessary to maintain peace." We're going to recycle the satellites above the atmosphere and reduce the surveillance of them. ”
"Of course, just pretending, there will be no shortage of necessary remote monitoring."
"Understood." Ye Kaifu nodded solemnly, "But it is a bit difficult to recover the satellite completely, and with our recovery ability, it may damage some ......."
"It's okay." Zhang Yuan waved his hand, "It's better to damage some of it than not to get it back, right?" As soon as you're ready, we'll go and retrieve the satellite. ”
