A few seconds later, the Earth-Age liaison received a reply.

"Report to the sir, the other party agreed!"

With that, another shuttle plane exited the mothership, and after maintaining the same speed as the capsule that was more than 6 meters long and 4 meters wide, the robotic arm successfully docked, jumping into the two soldiers and a related security expert......

Li Junkang and Guo Qiang swallowed their saliva in unison, they were so nervous, they saw that the space capsule was densely packed with more than a dozen pangolin-like creatures, all wearing spacesuits, and their dark eyes were staring at them.

"Don't be nervous! They should be more nervous than you are. A voice came from the headphones, "Just keep the humility you need." ”

Major Guo licked his dry lips, recalled his mission, and said in the translator on his body: "Welcome friends of the Gliese civilization to our mothership ......"

"Please go over here...... Landing on one of our small ships for security checks. ”

Inside the mothership a hundred kilometers away, Zhang Yuan stared carefully at the big screen, his eyes barely blinking. These pangolin-like creatures have black eyes and are very short, the longest being no more than 1.2 meters.

"Hello friends from human civilization! I am the leader of this diplomatic team, and you may call me Gan Yaduo. One of the leaders, the Gliezers, also spoke in the headset.

After being processed by a translator, it is not difficult to understand.

Several soldiers examined the entire capsule in great detail, and no suspicious points occurred, and everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Bring them to the mothership!"

At this point, the first contact between human beings and extraterrestrial civilizations, the third type, has officially begun!

Zhang Yuan's mood was very excited, his heart was full of vigilance on one side, and curiosity on the other.

Humanity cannot never intersect with extraterrestrial civilizations, and this Gliese civilization, if possible, is undoubtedly a pretty good contact and communication partner.

Its technological prowess seems to be slightly weaker than that of humans, at least on the surface...... The new civilization has most of the scientific and technological heritage of the earth's civilization, and if there is enough time, the development potential is far greater than what is currently seen.

For this contact, the entire human civilization has been preparing for a long time, and even completely transformed a small area within the Earth Age, these life forms are anaerobic creatures, but also have a small amount of respiration.

High concentrations of oxygen are highly toxic to them, so they should also be given a mixture of gases with the same composition as the atmosphere of the native planet, as well as almost the same atmospheric pressure, air humidity, and so on...... At the same time, it is necessary to create a completely sterile environment, and these organisms in the province are killed by human bacteria and viruses.

It's not so much a diplomat as a group of uncles!

But people have to do it, and if they accidentally kill a pangolin, it's a diplomatic accident, and it's no different from mud falling out of the crotch of your pants.

As they sat on the railcars, the Gliese looked around curiously, but it was clear that all of them had restrained their curiosity, at least not looking around or bumping around.

Immediately afterward, they came to their living quarters.

“…… Human civilization, with its generosity and hospitality, cannot but praise you for your delicacy. Living here is like returning to our home planet, which is quite comfortable. After a while, the Gliese man named Ganyaduo sent a message, "Even the gravity environment is good, and we are sincerely grateful." ”

The makeshift living area has been transformed into a strange state like a sewer pipe. To accommodate their eyes, all the lights are also dim.

Every Gliese person's room is small, less than two square meters like a cardboard box. As a result, the group of guys found themselves quite comfortable, and they liked such a cramped environment.

Seeing that all the companions around him felt a little funny, Captain Zhao couldn't help coughing, "Don't laugh, everyone, this also shows that due to the difference in living environments, the difference between the thinking forms of the two civilizations is actually very large...... Fortunately, it is also possible to communicate. Hey, let's find common ground while reserving differences. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "They should be allowed to rest for a while, they should be quite tired after coming by rocket for thousands of miles." Rockets are not space elevators, they have to withstand huge acceleration, and they are not so comfortable. ”

"Anyway, this kind of negotiation can't be done in a day or two."

Zhao Qingfeng agreed: "That's how it should be, let them rest for a while...... However, we can study the food they bring with them, as well as some of the biological specimens they carry. ”

A group of diplomats and biologists rushed over in high spirits to hand over the other party. Then he was given a pencil-sized storage box containing some specimens of alien plants and insects.

These things were so important that biologist Ichiro Yamamoto, whose fingers trembled, took great care to place the box in a specific safe. Excitement is excitement, you still have to be careful, it can be a big trouble for things to cause biological contamination.

Extraterrestrial life can only be studied in a biosafety level 4 laboratory, or P4 laboratory.

Immediately afterward, a human diplomat hurriedly said, "Thank you very much for bringing the biological specimens!" You can relax in this living area to your heart's content, and the affairs of the diplomatic conference will be considered after the rest. ”

After the handover, the Gliese people really began to distribute rooms, eat, and rest very comfortably, and some of them were curiously looking at the small amount of equipment on the ship...... It includes some video installations, some art albums and other entertainment products.

After a few hours, the group of guys seemed to be really tired, and one by one they fell asleep lazily like turtles hibernating......

I slept as soon as I slept it......

More than ten days!

This can make all human beings anxious, and after the patience is worn off day by day, Zhang Yuan thinks that letting the other party rest is simply a bad idea that can't be spoiled anymore!

Later, after some explanations by biologists, everyone vaguely surmised that this was the normal routine of the Gliese people!

People don't mean it at all, it's not slack, it's just like that.

"Because anaerobic respiration brings so little energy, they need long sleeps to reserve energy...... This is the first time we have encountered this unique biological phenomenon. ”

Ichiro Yamamoto was excitedly confused, and explained with a red face: "We dissected some insect specimens and found that inside these insects, there is generally a special energy organ, which we named the energy core. Anyway, it's the main energy organ. ”

"When living beings are dormant, they can slowly digest the food in the body, and the main component of the food is glucose, which is not much different from ours. Their unique biological enzymes store the energy released by anaerobic respiration in the energy nucleus and release it quickly when awake...... They have a very high utilization rate of food, but digestion is also slow due to anaerobic respiration. ”

"So, due to the different respiration processes, the creatures here generally sleep for a long time and grow quite slowly, even the insects are no exception. At the same time, this way of breathing can also achieve a higher lifespan! ”

"I estimate that these Gliese people can easily survive for five or six hundred years, and with the assistance of technology, it is not a big deal to survive for one or two thousand years......"

Survive for a thousand or two thousand years!

This speculation makes people a little sluggish. It's a creature that lives longer than a tortoise, although it needs a long period of sleep, and it sleeps for more than ten days at a time......

Professor Yamamoto hurriedly continued, "But it can also be speculated that their reproductive ability is not high. Breeding an individual is too physically demanding...... Of course, it's just my speculation that there should be a majority of oviparous probabilities. ”
