Gliese 581 system, Sidney Star. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A special meeting is about to begin at this moment in the Joint Conference Hall at United Nations Headquarters.

Because this time this time, it is not the leaders of various countries who come to this hall, but scholars or experts from all over the world who have made achievements in the psychological, historical, and political fields.

Except for the organizers, everyone present did not know the theme of this conference, but this did not affect the opening of the conference, and the people who came were elites with extremely high academic accomplishments, and naturally knew that the conference that was hidden in such a place and so mysterious must have the value they should come.

The organizer has not yet appeared, but the attendees are all consciously quiet, some are thinking about the theme of the conference, some are thinking about the academic issues in their fields of specialization, and some are dozing off and reserving their energy.

But everyone who comes knows that they are sitting here and represent the country, the party, and the polity behind them.

A person walked up to the stage, came to the microphone, and everyone present consciously stood up and saluted the person on stage.

Because that person is the president of the United Nations, the presiding officer of this meeting.

The chairman nodded, motioning for all the people to sit down, he turned on the microphone, exhaled slowly, and said.

"First of all, thank you for being here, this meeting will not decide the direction of any country or party on the planet Sidnia, but the future of our entire Sidney. Next, everything you see and hear will become a Level 6 secret of the United Nations, and those who leak it to the outside world will become Class A wanted criminals who are uniformly arrested by all countries. I hope that after this meeting, you will pay attention to your words and deeds. ”

The audience was silent, but the chairman knew that these words had been taken to heart by everyone present, he nodded, and the hall began to darken, and a plan report appeared on the huge screen behind the chairman.

【Extraterrestrial Civilization Liaison Program】

The chairman's voice rang out throughout the venue.

"This is the plan of one of these countries, and to put it simply, five years ago, our scientists discovered the amplification effect of the star's radio waves, which can amplify the radio waves of a star hundreds of millions of times as long as the emission power exceeds a certain threshold. But there is one country that has not been approved by the United Nations and has taken advantage of this effect to try to reach out to civilizations outside of us, that is, outside of the Sidenian civilization. ”

The venue was still silent, and the chairman sighed slightly and said in a lost tone.

"And then we were quite lucky, just a month ago, we received a call back from an alien civilization."

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.

The chairman stretched out his hand and motioned for people to stop the discussion, although many people were shocked by the news, but their good academic accomplishment made them quickly calm down and continue to wait for the chairman's speech.

Seeing this, the chairman nodded secretly and let out a slow breath.

"This is the call back that civilization gave us."

The chairman turned around and looked at the large screen behind him, and several lines of words appeared on the screen.

[Dear neighbors, we live in the solar system 20.4 light-years away from you, and you can call us the Kara civilization............ Protection-Hold-Peace-Tranquility............ Within a hundred light-years, in addition to us, there exists an advanced civilization that can conduct interstellar travel............ So, keep quiet............ Your current level of civilization will be vulnerable to that civilization............ You are fortunate that our interstellar probe has just arrived near your galaxy, so we must have received your message before that civilization. Unfortunately for you, you are also using indiscriminate radio communications, so that civilization will certainly be able to receive signals from your civilization, but if you are lucky, they may not be able to determine the exact location of your civilization............ Good luck to you, dear neighbors. 】

[Your friendly neighbor - Sincerely, Kara Civilization. 】

Everyone used all their ability to concentrate on this short callback, this was the first time that the Sidneyan civilization received a call back from an alien civilization, and everyone present was excited, even if the information contained in this call seemed to be very unfavorable to them, it could not extinguish the excitement in their hearts.

I am witnessing the history of civilization, and it is the most turning point in history.

"To be honest, the first time I saw this callback, I was as excited as everyone present, and I almost asked my secretary to resign, because I picked her up and turned around for I don't know how many times, but what about after the excitement? cannot change the reality that our civilization may be going through a critical period of life and death......"

The chairman's frustrated tone echoed throughout the hall, and the people who had recovered from the excitement also began to think about the message of the callback, and a trace of worry began to appear on the faces of those present.

The chairman sighed and said.

"This call back was received four years after we sent the radio waves, and the distance calculated by the transmission time of the radio waves is only four light years, and it has not been able to cover a quarter of the distance of the nearest galaxy, so it can be determined that the interstellar voyage probe that the other party said to reach the periphery of our galaxy exists. Secondly, there is no record of radio wave reception in this call, it is a certain fact that it suddenly appeared in a communication method that we could not understand in the base terminal where we used to transmit radio waves, and the technology of the other party is far superior to ours, which is a certain fact. ”

The chairman patted the table and woke up the pensive everyone.

"A civilization that is far superior to us in technology has received our information, and this civilization called the Kara civilization cannot be completely determined whether the other party is malicious or benign to us. And whether the civilization mentioned by the Kara civilization, which is likely to be hostile to us within a hundred light-years, has determined the location of our civilization, and the topic of this meeting is, according to this callback, how do we deal with interstellar communication that may come prematurely? ”

The audience fell silent, everyone was pondering, and the chairman was not in a hurry, just looking at the silent people below on the stage, this meeting came to the elites who have made achievements in the academic fields of psychology, history, and politics, and they will definitely be able to bring answers with reference value.

One person stood up, there was no answer to the request for instructions in this meeting, everyone could stand up and express what they thought of, and everyone's eyes were focused on that person, which caused a discussion at once.

"Dr. Senxia? Authoritative ...... of World History"

"I didn't expect to see this here."

"Dr. Senxia's main focus is on historical politics, and he will definitely be able to give valuable proposals."

Senxia coughed in his throat, let out an old voice, and began to preach.

"Now it seems that the Kara civilization that sent this reply is likely to be kind to us, first of all, their technological strength is far superior to ours, and from the end of this reply, it seems that they cannot leave their galaxy for the time being, then it can be proved that their civilization is temporarily unable to interfere with our civilization, in this case, we cannot establish a connection, and the fate of our civilization will neither benefit them nor harm them, and whether our civilization will fall or not has nothing to do with them, Historically, any group-to-group conflict has been based on interests, so it is likely that they are simply suggestions. I think we should follow their advice and keep quiet. ”

The chairman nodded, indicating that he agreed with him, and asked.

"If another higher civilization mentioned by the Kara civilization discovers us, what do you think should be done?"

Dr. Senxia pushed his glasses and said.

"Any conflict between groups is based on interests, judging from the information mentioned by the Kara civilization, what that higher civilization needs may only be a stable living environment, and from the perspective of the other party's ability to carry out interstellar travel, we have no chance of winning the war, so we can only satisfy them...... If that civilization discovers us, we should lower our profile, welcome their arrival, and take the initiative to give them a part of our living space. ”

As soon as the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, after all, there was almost no difference between this speech and treason, but everyone present understood the stakes and did not show excessively.

But before the chairman could ask another question, another scholar stood up.

"Dr. Senxia, no offense, but what if that higher civilization doesn't want to live peacefully with us?"

Everyone's eyes began to turn to the man.

"Miss Lolita? It's actually this psychology genius......"

"Be quiet and listen to their answers."

Mori Xia pushed the lens again, and said.

"It's a pity that if war will definitely break out, we can only surrender, the difference in strength is too great, this is not a war, it will only evolve into a one-sided massacre. If we surrender, considering the level of civilization of the other party, it should not kill us completely, but it is very likely that we will be classified into the non-establishment of the citizen level and integrated into the other party's civilization, just like the slaves with the sign of citizens in our recent history, we will definitely be treated unfairly, but we can only learn the other party's technology in forbearance and wait for the moment of revival. ”

"Even if you lose the glory of Sidney?"

"For the sake of the continuation of civilization, even if the glory of Sidenia is lost."

Senxia said lightly, in an old tone, but every word in it was full of unquestionable prestige.

Miss Lolita pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and recognized Senxia's answer, she turned to face the chairman of the board of directors and said.

"Although I don't want to admit it, Dr. Senxia is right, if there is really that high civilization coming, we can only surrender, but we can't surrender directly, there is an effect in psychology, called the [Dwarf Tree Effect], which refers to a hungry traveler who finds a fruit tree on the way, which is full of fruits, if the tree is very high, the traveler has to work hard to get a few fruits, but these fruits are enough for him to fill his stomach and carry out the rest of the journey, and the traveler is likely to leave satisfied. But if the tree is short enough for the traveler to easily remove all the fruits, the traveler, who has already weathered the road, will most likely not think about how much fruit he can carry, but will take all the fruits before thinking about what happens next. I don't want this effect to be validated in our civilization. ”

The head of the United Nations pondered slightly, nodded in response.

"You mean, we have to surrender, but we can't let the other side get everything too easily, which could lead to the other side's insatiable greed."

Lolita nodded and said.

"I think we should draw several bottom lines in our negotiations with extraterrestrial civilizations, and when the other party's demand is on a certain bottom line, we should apply that bottom line attitude, and when the other party's demand exceeds that bottom line, we should change our response and apply the next bottom line attitude...... Although it may lose the glory of Sidney, there is no way to do it for the sake of the continuation of civilization. ”

After Lolita finished speaking, she sat down, saying that she had finished stating her opinion, and the chairman nodded slightly, which was considered to be in agreement with her statement, and many people began to ponder, and the hall returned to calm again.

The chairman waited quietly, knowing that this meeting would not end so soon, and that more suggestions were needed in order to make the most appropriate choice for civilization.

Soon, another man stood up, and everyone's eyes began to focus on him.

"Dr. Hilbert? Even this authority on physics has come......"

"The ...... of the God of Nuclear Physics"

"I didn't expect it to be this one."

Hilbert cleared his throat, looked around, and said slowly.

"Listening to the discussion just now, it seems that they are all aiming at the unknown high civilization mentioned by the Kara civilization, but have you missed a point, now you can be sure that it is not the unknown high civilization that has received our information, but the Kara civilization that has already replied to us."

"What do you mean?"

The chairman frowned slightly, and Hilbert's answer succeeded in causing him to wonder. Hilbert pondered and replied.

"I would like to ask you a question first, may I ask all of you, why do you necessarily think that the Kara civilization is kind to us?"
