Because of the human-machine communication and efficient exchange of information by relying on brain companions, the efficiency of the Tula people is not much different from that of humans, and soon several Tula airships entered the cabin of the Enterprise, and the Tula Defenders in charge of the transfer drove their land combat power armor out of the airship's hatch.

"The dolphin in the battle armor has good psionic ability." De Niro reminded in the command network, "In the event of a fight, all personnel act in accordance with the operational doctrine for high-level psionic targets." ”

It's true that the Tula people are good people, but I haven't heard of them being soft when they really want to come hard, Tula is a race that wins the arbitration war, and its military strength, on the surface, there is no standing army to deal with pirates or something, so the Tula people are a big customer of various mercenary groups, but when it really fights, Tula's mobilization ability is terrible, almost everyone can go to the battlefield, and all Tula ships are military ship standards - because they will regularly join the Tula Defenders as warships in peacetime.

So the Tula people are a bit similar to the Iralai people who are full-time sellers in the Big Ten but can rely on the automatic repair (replacement) of the rioters and the sky to teach you to be a man, the difference is that there are still many people in the galaxy who dare to mess with the Tula people, and there are only nine races that dare to mess with the Ilalais, and you don't need to count them with your toes, you can do it with your fingers.

Neville's race only touched the fur of the abandoned princess of Ilalai, and before it hurt the princess, it had to be scared - not long after the attack of the Navi people in New Zhengzhou, an Ilalai ship got lost in Neville's control area, and scared the centipedes to ask the Galactic Council to provide them with special protection three times in the space of an earth.

As a result, the Ilarai ship was really just a warp engine controller malfunction, which caused the warp speed parameter to be entered incorrectly, and it was lost.

All in all, now the Tula sent real combat units. It is enough to see how seriously they attach this matter.

The crew of the Enterprise, under the command of Enleko, carried the pilot on a stretcher and placed it in the water tank brought by the Tula.

At this time, Lin Youde walked up to Elder Tula in the moving capsule. In order of his last meeting with the Presbyterian Church of Tula, he was in the third position clockwise from Elder One. So let's call him Elder Three.

Lin Youde saluted Elder No. 3: "The Tula defected pilot has been handed over. ”

"I did." Elder Tula asked the capsule's manipulator to salute Lin Youde in return.

Lin Youde hesitated for a moment, but still said: "We have learned the details of the incident from this pilot, according to our human standards, he is an out-and-out patriot, so although we are in line with the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and respect the culture and internal freedom of your race, I still want to ask for leniency in my personal capacity." ”

"We'll consider your appeal, and the Council of Elders will agree on what to do with it. We will let you know as soon as possible. I now request that the transfer begin. ”

"Please get started."

After Lin Youde finished speaking, the water tank containing the pilot started its own small engine, and the water tank began to slowly drive towards the cargo compartment of the small spaceship of the Tula people.

"Salute all!" De Niro gave the command.

All the crew of the Enterprise who had already lined up stood up and saluted the Tula people in the water tank, and even the members of the armed guard raised their guns to their chests and held them in a posture of holding their guns.

Lin Youde also raised his right hand to his eyebrows, and his eyes were fixed on the water tank.

The Tula people in the tank were also looking at him, and Lin Youde knew that his other eye must be scanning the queue of humans on the other side of the tank one by one. Lin Youde couldn't help but wonder, would it feel that it would be good if he was born as a human being? Born into a race with a culture that places extreme emphasis on blending and adapting. But with a pure patriot's heart, there should be nothing worse than this.

This will probably be a strange scene in the history of galactic diplomacy, where patriots who want to defend their own interests are respected by another race that has nothing to do with it. Because his race regarded him as a traitor, he was ready to put him to death.

However, as long as Lin Youde succeeds in their subsequent negotiations. Its purpose would be achieved, and the Tula would lose the opportunity to settle the matter peacefully. There will be no war, as long as the arbitration war is won. There will be no territory that will break away from the control of the Tulas, and there will be no new civilization that is close to the Tulas, but does not consider itself Tula.

Although the Latus will certainly have problems later, according to the rules of the arbitration war, the Tulats will be given decades to deal with the problem, and perhaps in a few decades they will have found a complete solution to the Latus problem.

At this time, Lin Youde saw the Tula man in the water tank raise his front fin and try to bend it, as if he was going to make a saluting gesture.

He just stared at the human, and slowly entered the cargo hold of the Tula spaceship.

After the order was given, Lin Youde said to Elder No. 3: "I'm sorry, we didn't do this to put pressure on Tula, we just wanted to show our respect for the patriots. ”

"I understand that not only you humans, but more than half of the races have similar content in their cultures, we understand. In fact, with the exchange of Tula and other races, we also have martial factions within us, but it is not yet a climate, and perhaps in another thousand years, we will also become like a 'normal' galactic civilization. ”

Lin Youde nodded noncommittally, and said in his heart that these old galactic civilizations have been open and closed for hundreds of years or thousands of years, is it really like the radical human supremacists say, these galactic civilizations are too old, so the speed of development and change has begun to slow down.

[They call it 'solidification.'] 】

While Noah spoke, Elder No. 3 cut to the chase: "Let's talk about other things, should we talk here or go to a suitable place?" ”

Lin Youde immediately turned around and made a gesture of please.

**

Elder Three and the officers of the Enterprise then moved to the bridge.

The super-civilized cube is embodied in the makeshift shelves that are being erected on the bridge of the ship, radiating light.

As soon as Elder No. 3 saw that thing, he exclaimed, "This is really amazing! I was in charge of the research on this thing, and we couldn't get any reaction from it at all! ”

"It seems to treat us like remnants of a supercivilization, because we- uh, I don't know if you know, Elder, we ghost agents......"

"The nanomachinery on the ghost agent is a nanomachine created by the remnants of a supercivilization, right?"

"Yes, so it seems like it's this nanomachine that makes it think that we are super-civilized descendants, but that our life forms have changed."

"But if that's the case, you humans don't need to study supercivilization, right, just let the ghost agents touch it." Elder No. 3 was really not so easy to fool, and immediately pointed out. By the way, it means that the dolphins know that humans also have two relics.

However, Lin Youde was also prepared for a long time, and replied directly: "We believe that this is because there is no artificial intelligence with active judgment ability in other relics. And this cube is a super-civilized artificial intelligence device, when there is no other device to control, it is an empty shell and has no effect, so it has been dormant. Sensing the nanomachinery on our body, it woke up and identified us as users. ”

As if to echo Lin Youde's words, the cube reacted and said with its own synthesized voice device: "Keyword users have been detected." Is there anything I can do for you, Commander? ”

When Elder Three saw this, he immediately activated the scanner on his capsule to scan the cube, probably to make sure that there were no human-installed mechanisms on it.

The cube was under Noah's control, and said, "Sense the scan, perform the shield, and use the commander code if you want to unshield." ”

The only function that this cube can "use" is the ability to shield itself from scanning, and it is this ability that has allowed the Tulas to study for so long without finding anything.

Elder Three rolled around in his capsule.

"I can't scan, as in the past, Mr. Lin, in order to prove that you have really become a user of it, can you please unblock the scan?"

Lin Youde didn't say a word and put his hand on the cube, and Noah cooperated very well to let the cube deform and change light and shadow.

Then Lin Youde made a gesture of please.

The elder scanned it again, then rolled through the capsule five or six times in a row.

"Good, good. What has been unattainable for a long time has been achieved in the hands of my generation! It no longer paid attention to the eyes of the humans around it, and sighed directly, "The research that has been fruitless for a long time has finally made decisive progress today." ”

No, you haven't made progress yet, you've just scanned it, and you're going to continue researching, right?

It seems that the Tula researchers are also miserable, and they are about to be driven crazy by this cube.

At this time, Lin Youde had an idea: "In this way, you Tula people can thoroughly scan and study this thing before we leave, but then we have to take it away, after all, you see, this is already our thing." And, taking it with you might be beneficial to our mission. ”

Elder No. 3 thought for a moment and said, "I can't decide this matter, it must be discussed by the entire Council of Elders." ”

"Are you going to that floating structure again?" Lin Youde asked.

"No, this time I'm afraid you have to go to the bottom of the sea, to our real capital, and not to stay on the surface of the capital. The stakes are high this time, and for the Presbyterian Church's decisions to be convincing, you may have to be in the public eye with the cube. ”

"So we're going to dive?"

"Yes, it's not very deep, it's only 11,000 meters underwater." (To be continued......)
