The departure of the Archon of Science did not affect the progress of the meeting in the slightest, and the remaining 11, each of them were thinking in their own way. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soon, the military consul spoke.

"They will reach out to us, which may not be good news for us......

"What do you mean?"

Facing the sights of the other consuls and the Führer's questions, the military consul said lightly.

"I don't know what the alien civilization that makes up this galactic council is like, but I know what the Kara civilization is like, just ask, if we find a strange civilization, will we take the initiative to contact them?"

All the consuls fell silent, they had understood what the military consul meant, the military consul added.

"We won't, I believe that not only us, but also the earth civilization, there are only two prerequisites for us to take the initiative to contact that strange civilization, one, the other party is too weak to pose a threat to us. Second, we already know each other very well and think that we are capable of dealing with any reaction from the other side...... Either way, it won't be good news for the civilization that comes into contact. ”

The military consul's words made the atmosphere in the conference room start to feel a little weird.

First, too weak to pose a threat?

Second, have been fully understood any reaction the other party can cope?

These two premises have completely put the Kara civilization on the level of "weakness" to discuss.

A civilization that can arbitrarily arbitrarily judge life in other galaxies is "weak", so how can it be considered "strong" in the universe?

The consuls fell silent, and the military consul's remarks, while logically plausible, were politically anti-civilized.

The attitude of the Führer will be the premise for whether this argument needs to be pursued or not.

And the head of state at the end of the oval table also fell silent.

But silence can sometimes be taken as acquiescence.

The military consul saluted the consuls present and continued.

"If the above two premises are true, I think that our civilization needs to leave a way out for itself, and it may not be wise to cling to the solar system."

"You mean, we should be prepared to flee?"

The Führer's tone was not tingeful, but it could send chills down to those who heard it.

The military consul calmly looked back at the Führer, and slowly, word for word.

"An arrogant person always ends up destroying himself in arrogance. - Shakespeare"

"What do you mean?"

"This was given to me by the civilization of Earth before the start of the war with us, and I want to give it to you as well. A true leader should not let blind arrogance influence his decision-making. ”

"Are you sarcastic about me?"

In the quiet room, there was only the gaze of the military consul and the Führer.

The military consul did not affirm or deny, and his tone was still so calm.

"You are undoubtedly a great leader, but the growth of civilization has made you conceited, and the first manifestation of this is the forced out of the fugitive government, which has brought the Kara civilization into a stalemate of division."

"Only by eliminating unnecessary parts can the whole grow."

"If that one thing can't be proven, then in the war with the Earth civilization, why don't you directly use the light particle strike to carry out a sneak attack on the Earth civilization? And to make contact with Earth's civilization before the particles of light arrive in the Gliese 581 system? Then maybe we wouldn't have lost so many of our compatriots and ships...... Are you really obsessed with the glory of Kara? Or is it some unnecessary attachment that comes from your arrogance? ”

"To slander the supreme leader of civilization is to be anti-civilized."

"Well, I take back what I just said, and I hope you will forgive me."

The military consul rose from his seat and looked at the calm Führer on the throne.

"My term of office expires after 100 karao-hours, and after a battle with Earth's civilization, I have no regrets."

The military consul turned and walked out.

"This is my final advice to you, strategically we can defy any enemy, but tactically, we must pay attention to everything."

The military consul disappeared into the conference room.

In the conference room, there are 10 people left.

The silence did not last long, just like the departure of the scientific consul, the departure of the military consul also did not affect the meeting much, and the executive consul spoke.

"I don't know what level our civilization is at in the galaxy, in this case, gathering intelligence is the first priority, we should probably try to reach out to the Galactic Council."

"But before we can reach out, we need to know how to reach them."

"Maybe we can use gravitational wave communications to broadcast to galactic power? With our current capabilities, there will be no limit to the threshold at which gravitational wave communications can propagate, and even civilizations hundreds of millions of light-years away can receive them. ”

"But it is also tantamount to exposing our existence, contradicting our original intention."

The consuls began to discuss, and the Führer, who sat in silence, did not know what he was thinking, and did not participate in the consuls' discussion......

And at this time, there was a consul who spoke, and that was the consul of society.

"Before contacting other civilizations, perhaps we should understand a question."

The sudden speech of the Archon of Society made all the Archons move the realization to him.

The Archon of Society was also not involved in the discussion, he said slowly.

"Alien civilizations, where are they?"

The question of the social consul caused the conference room to fall into an eerie silence again.

Because, no one understands the meaning of his question.

"Faux pas, this is a very interesting theory that I came into contact with when I was studying the social form of the earth's civilization, called the Fermi paradox, I believe most of you here understand it, this theory was originally used to infer the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations, but we may be able to use it in another way."

The Archon explained lightly, and the other Archons began to ponder the Archon's question.

In the history of Earth civilization, when physicist Fermi was discussing the issue of flying saucers and aliens with others, he suddenly said: "Where are they all?" This seemingly simple question is the famous "Fermi paradox".

The implicit implication of the "Fermi paradox" is that, theoretically, humans can fly to various planets in the galaxy in 1 million years, so aliens should come to Earth now as long as they evolved 1 million years earlier than humans.

In other words, the "Fermi paradox" shows the paradox that a. aliens exist - scientific inferences can prove that aliens evolved much earlier than humans, and that they should have come to Earth and exist somewhere; b. Aliens do not exist - To date, humans have not found any clues about the existence of aliens. The contradiction between the overestimation of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of relevant evidence is discussed.

"Your proposal is very interesting."

The head of the main throne can be regarded as approving of the problem of the social consul, because he understands the meaning of what the social consul wants to express.

The reason why the Kara civilization has been noticed by other civilizations is because the Dyson sphere and light particles built by the Kara civilization are also very conspicuous weapons on a cosmic scale, but if even the Kara civilization that can build this weapon belongs to the category of lower civilizations in the universe, then what kind of weapons should those so-called "higher civilizations" be able to create?

If you want to claim to be a high civilization in front of the Kara civilization, how can you have the same ability as the Kara civilization to arbitrate other stellar life at will, right?

But why hasn't the Kara civilization observed in the universe a similar reduction in the brightness of stars caused by Dyson spheres, or the abnormal destruction of exoplanets?

This is enough to prove that although the Kara civilization has left "traces" in the universe, this "trace" is not something that any civilization has the ability to leave.

It is absolutely impossible for other civilizations in the universe not to leave similar "traces" in the universe when they have developed to the point where they can affect or surpass the stars, but why have they never been observed?

Perhaps, the "traces" left by the Kara civilization are not a beacon for other civilizations, but a deterrent in a sense.

The archons who had figured out the truth relaxed a little in a hidden corner of their hearts.

At the very least, this may prove that the Kara civilization will not be a weak civilization on a cosmic scale.

At this point, a report was transmitted to the central projection of the conference room.

[The fugitive government has been captured, and it is confirmed that the direction of the escape of the Earth civilization is the Beiluo Division, and the third light particle strike is requested.] 】

The room was quiet again.

All the Archons have seen this news, and the activation of the Light Particle Strike requires the certification of all the Archons......

"I recommend enabling the Particle Strike."

The Archon of Society continued.

"Capturing Earth's civilization has been a long-cherished wish of ours for far too long, and we have been exposed in the universe, and it makes no sense for us to end the Particle Strike here."

There was a hint of coldness in the social archon's tone.

Moreover, the third light-particle strike will most likely prove whether our weapons are a "lighthouse" or a "deterrent" for other civilizations. ”

The room fell silent, no consul agreed, but no consul objected.

Everybody is thinking in their own way.

After a long time, the Archon raised his hand.

"Seconded."

Soon, other consuls agreed to the proposal.

Until, in the end, only the Führer at the end of the conference table remained, alone in silence.

"Führer, please order, since we have been exposed, it may be better for other civilizations in the universe to take a look at it, and try to be friends with us than to be enemies of us."

The social consul said coldly.

The other consuls did not speak, but sat in their seats and watched the Führer quietly, waiting for his decision.

The Führer, on the other hand, did not know what he was thinking about and did not immediately give instructions.

He just sat quietly in his position, looking at the projection document in his hand, as if the whole person was still there.

Many consuls knew that when the Führer entered this state, it meant that the Führer was making the final choice.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, the projection document in the Führer's hand was slowly placed on the table.

The Führer raised his head and looked at the social consuls who were also looking at him, and said.

"You're right, Kara is not threatened by others."

Threat? What threat?

The Societal Archon was a little puzzled, but before he could ask the question, the Führer had already given the order to strike, and this meeting, for the time being, ended here.

Each of the archons disappeared from the meeting room, it turned out that they had never been present in this room, and what was here was only a projection of their image.

A particle of light, starting from the sun and speeding at a high speed of light, flies towards the outer solar system.

At this time, in the conference room of the Kara civilization, the projection document that was placed on the table by the Führer was also gradually disappearing.

That's the Führer's civilized mailbox, and if it can be sent directly here, it will become classified information above the authority of the civilization NT level (the highest consul level).

Five karao-hours ago, the Führer received two letters, one was a greeting from the depths of the universe, which crossed the distance of the light grade, and was received by Kuiper with the 10196 listening station, and arrived in the Führer's mailbox through all levels of authority authentication as soon as possible.

The other, almost at the same time as the galactic greeting, came from the Führer's child, whose child served in the Galactic Expeditionary Force, as a grassroots soldier of civilization, the Führer had left a secret port for his child, bound to his child's identity file, and his child was the only one who could get in touch with him directly without going through all levels of authority.

The Führer's children respected his father very much, and every day he would send a message to the Führer to report on his condition today.

But this once-a-day message was interrupted by 6,000 karao-hours ago.

Because, in the battle of Gliese 581 galaxy, the spaceship where the Führer's child was located was reduced to ashes by the main gun of a gamma-class battleship.

In other words, 5 Kara hours ago, in addition to that greeting from the depths of the galaxy, the Führer also received a message from his own dead child.

But as the head of a higher civilization, he naturally does not believe in the existence of ghosts, and in fact, there is indeed no existence of ghosts, it is another message from the universe, and the sender used some small means to successfully let the head of state see it alone.

In the conference room, where the power was gradually cut off, the message flickered lonely.

[Humans are my beloved children, please stop bullying them, or you will face the sorrow of a mother for hundreds of years. ――………】

The information that followed dissipated in an illusory light.
