006 Temptation
Through humanity's open network, the Iridians have gathered almost all the information they need. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info What's even more convenient is that the Iridium language is almost identical to the language on the planet called Chinese, except for some subtle usage and colloquial differences, the rest are strikingly similar. The similarities in pronunciation and usage between Iridium Standard and Mandarin Chinese are even smaller than the differences between the two regional dialects in China. The computing cores on board the United Empire warships are extremely capable of processing massive amounts of big data, and AI is extremely effective in managing information systems. This made it possible for Xu Lanzhou and other high-ranking fleet leaders on the Holy Falcon to basically grasp the specific situation of the earth within ten hours of deploying the Dragonfly drone.
"The same language and writing, and even similar allusions, this kind of thing can't be a coincidence." Nanma was amazed and seemed to be full of interest in this trip.
Everyone in the fleet also diluted a little bit of the dazedness of being suddenly lost in the parallel universe because of this incident, Xu Lanzhou even became emotional, her good-looking eyebrows raised, and she said in a tone that tried to look serious but not lose her excitement: "This must be the Führer guiding us." ”
Naturally, no committee member bought the captain's statement, and only Nanma, who never seemed to know what he was actually thinking, laughed along.
All fleet commissioners sit on the maglev chairs in front of the long conference table, which are very light and have no legs and float naturally and steadily in the room, allowing the user to pull them anywhere and sit at will, as well as pulling the maglev chair up and down to adjust the height. Iridium culture has a special preference for a simple, bright and practical aesthetic style. Especially in places like the Exploration Fleet, the conference table is made of molecular composites, with various functional modules added. Something like a maglev chair is also not upholstered, and its material can be moderately adjusted according to the natural pressure of the human body, and it is not particularly soft or particularly hard. Naturally, in the normal temperature of the interior of the ship, the temperature of all the equipment is also suitable for touching.
Administrator Du Peng held a transparent glass-like information board (equivalent to a tablet), looked at some of the information he had now, and put forward his own opinion: "This planet with an extremely limited level of civilization, rich in resources and not disturbed by foreign civilizations, can develop to the population of the Juche intelligent race to more than seven billion, which is something we have never seen before. However, this also poses a challenge for us, our R19 exploration fleet has relatively limited manpower, and although we have the ability to create a large number of AI robots in a short period of time, the experience of digesting a planet with more than seven billion people as part of an empire has never been so small in the history of the empire. ”
Xu Lanzhou said: "The country called China has the same language as us, and if it can absorb this part of the power for its own use, it will become feasible to rule this planet." ”
As an administrator, Du Peng has a relatively large say in similar issues, and he still shook his head insistently and said: "Even if it is the same language and writing, we are not sure that this ethnic group will obey us. ”
Xu Lanzhou clenched his fists, with a bloody look on his face, and said: "Then show our strength, let them submit to our power, if not, then we will bring them destruction!" ”
All the committee members present could not help but shake their heads, for the military talent and talent of the fleet commander may be rare in the military, but in terms of political and administrative means, he is far from qualified. Everyone believed that destroying the Earth was just a matter of activity for the R19 fleet, but the Iridians were good at fighting but not so belligerent, and none of the commissioners felt that it was a good thing to destroy a planet and kill hundreds of millions of lives.
Of course, there is another essential reason, that is, the fleet commissioners are actually not very interested in colonizing this planet, at least not as enthusiastic as Xu Lanzhou showed. Perhaps Lost in the Parallel Universe, the fleet members do need a safe and stable home, but they don't think it has to be Earth, the situation on Earth is actually not ideal for them, it is an actual overexploited planet, and almost all the more habitable areas are occupied by humans. Even for the Iridium people, dealing with indigenous affairs is a very troublesome thing, and if they want to live in peace, they must first engage in a wave of militarized violent demolitions, which is not something that cannot be done, but it is just troublesome. If possible, they would prefer to settle down on a habitable planet like a blank sheet of paper, rather than laboriously tearing it down and building an administrative star.
Du Peng was able to understand the thinking of the committee members, and he put forward his own plan on behalf of almost everyone: "Referring to the colonial experience of the United Empire in the past, buying land from the aborigines, or entering into a certain lease agreement, is a more feasible plan, and it is not appropriate to arbitrarily launch military operations, even for a civilization with limited scientific and technological strength." Moreover, there are many secrets on this planet, and there may also be a connection to Iridium, which can even help us unravel the reason for this crossing. I would suggest that caution be exercised, starting with a full survey of the Earth, a moderate amount of probing, and initial contact, is what we need to do now. ”
The logical plan made all the committee members can't help but bow their heads, and Xu Lanzhou also agreed with Du Peng's opinion. In fact, like the committee members and the members of the whole fleet present, Xu Lanzhou was also confused and even frightened at the moment, but she couldn't show it, that would hurt her leadership and the morale of the fleet. So Xu Lanzhou recognized one thing and hoped to implement it. The mission of the R19 exploration fleet is to explore new star fields and carry out small-scale colonization, so Xu Lanzhou wants to do this and unite everyone with one order.
However, unlike most fleets, the R19 exploration fleet is not only staffed, not everyone is interested in military orders. Therefore, the members of the fleet did not want to carry out the orders they received before the crossing, let alone blindly engage in military conflicts and killings because of this order.
Everyone is a normal person, and no one will use killing to calm themselves.
Xu Lanzhou also calmed down a little and figured out this matter. She wasn't a self-righteous person who could listen to the right opinions, so she asked, "So, how do you do that?" ”
Du Peng's face was not shocked, he has always been steady, so he is trusted by people, he said: "We need to send more reconnaissance forces and organize more intelligence." If necessary, we can send personnel to land and conduct field investigations. According to our understanding, at this stage, several major countries on the earth have already noticed the existence of our main fleet, and there is no way to do it, we have nothing to hide. So, before we make real official contacts, as you said, Commander, we also need to show our strength. The Führer, 'A strong and gentle man is the most persuasive'. Intelligence shows that the United States of America is the number one military power on earth, and we can show the United Empire a little bit of a test. ”
This is an extremely clever fellow, who not only steers the fleet policy in the direction he wants, but also deliberately panders to the commanders of the fleets who are inclined to force. This will not hinder the actions of the fleet, nor will it affect the young fleet commander's perception of him, or even raise his mental defense.
Sure enough, Xu Lanzhou clapped his hand and said: "Very pertinent suggestion, immediately order the reconnaissance detachment to which InSight belongs to double, and send a banshee fighter plane to conduct a deterrent cruise in this prosperous area of the United States of America with a visible posture from the other side, and allow small-scale engagement if necessary." The intelligence obtained from reconnaissance is not intuitive, and we need to test the extent of this number one military power on the earth. ”
No one objected to this order, the Iridians don't like to kill for no reason, but they are not afraid to show off their strength, and for the Iridium people, it is a common thing to show off their strength.
