Chapter 8: Invitations
In response to the invitation of the cosmic merchant civilization, whether it was agreed or refused, people were divided into two factions, and those who agreed felt that the deal was about to achieve the final victory, and only needed to win in the last negotiation, when human civilization could not only get all the cosmic information it wanted, but also get the technology of the fifth industrial revolution.
The number of people who refused was very small, and their reason was Ren Tao's reasoning, that is, the cosmic merchant civilization already knew about the existence of human beings, and if they had any means to detect new humans, that is, cosmic adaptors, then it was likely to meet Caiqi, in short, this invitation was more like a conspiracy.
Thinking about everything, Yao Yuan still confirmed this invitation, after all, this is the first time that human civilization has made contact with alien races, no matter what the situation, since it has been decided to contact earlier, it is impossible to give up halfway at such a time, this opportunity is really too important and important for human civilization, so it must be continued no matter what, so this time the team is divided.
Then there is the negotiation of the various team members, the combination, and the teaching of various etiquette and language, after all, this is a big event, the first communication between human beings and the alien race since the beginning of the world, the real third type of contact, it is really not too cautious.
And just in the midst of all these preparations, suddenly a ten-year-old European and American girl appeared in the preparation scene, the scene seemed a little chaotic at the moment, all kinds of personnel were preparing their own things, such as programmers, debugging signal analysis and signal transmission, etc., the interstellar soldiers were wearing their interstellar battle armors, and then the business elites were talking and discussing with each other with red faces, and even Yao Yuan was telling the eagle some words.
It should have been a scene of martial law preparations, but this little girl walked in as if no one was around, she walked up to Ren Tao with a smile, and then said, "This brother, I'll give you a gift for traveling." As she spoke, the little girl opened her palm.
In the palm of her hand was actually a small creature, six small feet, white as jade, it was the newborn of a six-legged black dragon, it was sleeping sweetly, yawning constantly.
Ren Tao was in a daze, when the little girl walked in front of him, he woke up suddenly, but he didn't say anything, just looked at the route that the little girl had walked all the way, the guards were changing shifts, and then the personnel were busy with their own things, even he was in a daze, in this time gap, the little girl walked in so lightly.
"I know you, you're Little Val, the granddaughter of that scientist......" Ren Tao thought for a long time, and a name appeared in his mind.
Val grinned, and didn't distinguish anything, just stuffed the six-legged black dragon cub in his hand into Ren Tao's hand, and then said, "Put it close to the interstellar battle armor, this is a gift to play a triumphant song for victory." After speaking, she didn't wait for Ren Tao to say anything, turned around and walked towards the outside of the preparation field, and when she just walked out of here, the shift change happened to arrive and just let her leave the scene.
Ren Tao was stunned for a while, he was thinking about something sharply in his mind, and after a while, he suddenly let out a chuckle, and put the six-legged black dragon young beast into the arms of his clothes.
The six-legged black dragon is already inseparable from humans, especially their young beasts, which are extremely attached to the breath of humans, and there has never been an incident of attacking humans at all, and the closer they get to humans, the more attached the six-legged black dragon baby beast is, so after putting it in its arms, this young beast smells the breath of humans and continues to sleep.
At the same time, in the biological laboratory, the people who went out to eat returned to the laboratory, and in the six-legged black dragon nursery, there were only five of the six six-legged black dragon cubs left, but it was not time to feed at this time, so no one noticed all this at all.
At this time, Val, who had already left the preparation field, suddenly took out a high-strength fiberglass bead from her pocket and threw it in the aisle, and then hummed a song and walked all the way without making any different moves.
At the preparation site, when everything was ready, the various personnel began to board the transport ship one by one, and then they would go to the Observer spaceship, and then the Observer spaceship would carry them to the alien merchant's mothership.
At the same time as they went to the alien merchant's mothership, an ultra-small spaceship only more than thirty meters long also appeared in the alien merchant's mothership, and this spaceship was also approaching the human hope, and the first contact was about to take place.
All this was going on under everyone's noses, and after about twenty minutes, the ultra-small spaceship finally flew to the Hope, and entered the inside of the Hope from the entrance of the bridge, and in the corridor inside the Hope, the Space Marines led by Yao Yuan, as well as the political axe staff, and the high-ranking of the defense force were already gathered there, although it was not known whether the honor guard would break the ban or something, but this greeting posture should not be a big mistake.
Then, the small spaceship entered the interior of Hope, and at the same time walked down ten alien creatures of various shapes from it.
These alien creatures are also wearing spacesuits, but the color of the material, and their respective appearances are different, from what we have seen so far, these ten alien creatures are divided into at least four races, one of which has a significantly large head, which looks at least half the size of its body, but the body looks very short, at most about one meter and four heads, this is the standard version of the alien form in human fantasy.
The body of a race is at least three meters and a half wide, and the whole life body looks burly and powerful, much like a gorilla, but it has four arms, which is completely different from humans.
There is also an ethnic ...... It's not like life, it's a centipede-like insect form, very long, at least about seven or eight meters, and its spacesuit has more than a dozen small arms, and it can also stand up, but it still moves forward in the way of a zerg crawling when it walks.
The last type of life is even more weird, it is just a line, yes, a line more than two meters long, the head is slightly larger, you can clearly see that it is a head, and the others are no different from a snake.
It was these four strange lifeforms, ten of these creatures entered the Hope, and everyone was speechless for a while, except for the only one, the rest were too far away from the intelligent lifeforms, or the form of cosmic people.
But fortunately, Yao Yuan himself did not have any cold field, he had already walked forward quickly, and then his words were transmitted to the transit personnel through the built-in information of the interstellar battle armor, and then transmitted to these alien lifeforms through the signals of the alien ruin civilization used by the transit personnel.
"We welcome you to visit us in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, in the spirit of ......"
Just when Yao Yuan remembered that those politicians were writing welcome speeches with Wang Guangzheng, he didn't expect the alien with the largest head among the ten aliens to directly interrupt Yao Yuan's words and said: "Let's start trading negotiations, and at the same time, please take my crew to see your real transactions." ”
Although Yao Yuan has been mentally prepared, he is still surprised by the frankness of these aliens, or philistine, uh, maybe they have dealt with many alien civilizations, and they are completely different from the human side, this is the first time since the beginning of the world, so the caution of the two sides is very different, and human beings are still in the role of backward technology, because of this, it is understandable that there is a gap in cognition and attitude between each other.
In this case, Yao Yuan had no intention of continuing to make noise, and soon, accompanied by the remaining business elites and some high-level personnel, he brought the ten aliens to the conference room, and three of them followed the humans to the material warehouse and other places, and began to check the physical situation of the transactions.
Everything seems to be normal...... On the other side, the personnel led by the Eagle have also gone to the alien merchant mothership.
The first feeling after everyone got off the spaceship was definitely not the feeling of entering the alien spaceship, high-tech, the future, etc., absolutely nothing, the only feeling was only one, that is, dirty, messy, poor!
Yes, the entire alien spaceship mothership, as soon as you enter it, the first thing you see is all kinds of patches, all kinds of pipes and pipes are directly exposed from under the metal, and there is a sense of distortion and incompleteness everywhere, to put it simply, it is better to be in the world of steampunk than in the world of futuristic technology.
Such a kind of world is a big disappointment for everyone who was full of expectations, but it's really hard to say such a thing, maybe the future of science and technology will be like this?
All in all, the people who got off the spaceship were led by the aliens to a large hall, which did not look like a conference room at all, but more like a prisoner's courtroom, with a high position around it, a low platform in the middle, where all the human members were standing, and there were many, at least thousands of aliens watching, and this feeling brought an indescribable humiliation to all the humans present in an instant.
Eagle immediately stopped everyone's emotions, and he said softly: "Don't get excited, this may be their procedural rules, we are guests, just abide by their rules, don't make any radical moves." ”
Naturally, the rest of the people couldn't have made any drastic moves, but they were very mentally unbalanced, but the negotiations continued, as if they were being treated as prisoners......
