304 at the bottom of the sea
Lin Youde soon saw the light coming from the bottom of the sea, and the light was divided into two colors.
At this time, the pilot explained: "The red is the lava that gushes out of the cracks in the earth's crust, and these magma keep the deep sea water at a constant temperature of about 26 degrees, and this temperature and light give birth to us Tula. ”
"That's the white light, isn't it?" Freya asked.
"That's right, because tourists seem to want the capital to be brightly lit, and the floating lights over there are also set up to cater to tourists from all over the galaxy. In fact, in ancient times, the Tula people did not need light at all, we used ultrasound to perceive everything around us, and the light-sensing organs were only to ensure that they would follow the cracks in the earth's crust when they migrated. Of course, now we can't do without light, and there is no way to do it, if we want to go to the universe, we must give up ultrasonic waves and rely on light and electromagnetic waves to understand the world.
"There is also a story about the fact that after the pioneers proposed the theory that there is no medium in the universe that cannot transmit sound, they were forcibly suppressed by the Presbyterian Church, and everyone did not believe them, thinking that they were crazy, and finally these scientists were executed in public. But then we actually went to the universe and found that sound in the universe really couldn't be transmitted. This incident has had a great impact on us Tula people, and it can be said that Tula now places so much emphasis on inclusiveness, and it is largely because of this incident. Since then, we have not taken any radical action against individuals and small groups because of differences of opinion. ”
Lin Youde wanted to sarcastically say for a while, "Nonsense, aren't you planning to execute a person who doesn't support the policy of the Presbyterian Council Latour", but after thinking about it, he felt that the pilot didn't necessarily know about it, and that person not only had opposing remarks, but also made behaviors, as if he couldn't generalize.
"That's right." Freya looked unsatisfied, "Are there any other allusions?" ”
"Of course!" Tula's Flying Eye immediately began to tell another story.
Lin Youde is listening. Lily sent a message: "How do you feel that this pilot talks a lot. ”
"People are already part-time tour guides." Lin Youde responded.
Hu Tao suddenly said, "It feels so funny." ”
"Isn't that interesting? My favorite course is Alien Behavior, and I especially like the part that analyzes the culture and behavior of races through the history of races. It's a pity that the teaching of the special college pays the least attention to this part. Lin Youde sighed.
As the ship approached the underwater city, the Tula, wearing luminous equipment, began to appear in droves.
"These are actors, and tourists seem to like to see such a parade of guards here in the capital."
"You're really very commercial." Lin Youde couldn't help but comment.
"We just want to make it as good as possible for visitors to feel that they are paying for their journey."
The Tula people may really think so, if it were a human being, it is estimated that about eighty percent of it would be a scene.
Freya asked curiously, "I see that there are a lot of Tula people in the city. Are these all actors? ”
"No, it's also our research center, and almost all research projects that don't require gravity or vacuum are carried out here, so the number of permanent residents is quite large. Tourism is just an incidental industry. ”
So is the capital a tertiary industry where a group of scientists generate income?
At this point, a building reminiscent of a pyramid appeared in front of it, and the ship slowed down in front of the building, and eventually "hung" onto a mechanical support, which was lifted and sucked into what appeared to be a hangar.
"Dear passengers, this flight has arrived at the terminal, and we hope you are satisfied with your journey. Yes. By the way, there is an air-confined space outside, so you can walk off the ship without worrying about water pressure or breathing. ”
Lin Youde unbuckled his seat belt and stood up: "Okay girls, let's go." ”
**
On the tarmac, Tula greeters in capsules were already waiting.
"It's really hard for you," Lin Youde was the first to speak, "You still have to stay in the capsule in your own capital." ”
"You're welcome, it's our job. And we're all used to it, after all, the tourists we receive are basically terrestrial races. In fact, staying in a capsule is not as uncomfortable as you think. It's really uncomfortable to stand upright, but the pressurization device inside the capsule helps us keep our blood pressure in our brain. ”
So it's not because of movement restrictions or anything like that, but because you have to put your body upright! Sure enough, you can't use human thoughts to set aliens.
"Instructions from the Council of Elders, let's arrange your lodging and tour of the capital first, and wait for further instructions." The Tula people began to cut to the chase, "So you may not be able to see the elders for a while. I'm sorry first. ”
"It's okay." Lin Youde nodded.
Although Elder No. 3 immediately returned to Tula with teleportation after the negotiation, and then hurriedly arranged a spaceship to pick up Lin Youde and the others, but sure enough, it was impossible to make a decision on such a big matter at once, and the elders probably had to discuss the unanimous opinion before meeting with Lin Youde. It is not known how much time it will take for the Tula to agree on a common opinion, but it stands to reason that this entire culture emphasizes inclusiveness, the civilization of listening and understanding others. It should be easier to unify than humans.
However, the Tula do not vote, and the so-called even number of elders to limit the majority of violence is only a symbol, in fact, the Tula do not vote in the decision-making process, and the elders must reach a consensus, or some dissident elders themselves choose to reserve their opinions, and the Council of Elders will form a resolution.
Lin Youde didn't know how well this system worked and how efficient it was.
But it's still good to take a stroll around the capital of Tula, after all, there is a beautiful girl with you, right, there is no reason to complain about anything.
So Lin Youde said: "Then please arrange it, my companions and I also very much want to appreciate the charm of the capital of Tula." ”
"Thank you very much for your understanding." The other party's capsule actually had a bowing function, which made Lin Youde a little surprised.
"Now, then, let me take you to the lodgings."
"Do we need a capsule or something?" Freya asked curiously, "Do we have to lie on our stomachs in the capsule?" ”
Hu Tao burst out laughing, but she immediately controlled her expression and suppressed the blush of embarrassment and shyness.
The Tula replied solemnly: "In fact, in the capital we have built a complete system of movement and life of the co-terrestrial races, and you can walk all over the capital and enjoy the beauty of the bottom of the Tula sea." (To be continued......)
