Chapter 426: Preparation Before the Meeting

As Shen Chao expected, as soon as this clear-code message was transmitted, it caused a sensation in the Cambridge of the two warships opposite. The personnel in charge of receiving the message all had expressions of disbelief, and after they truthfully informed the contents of the message, the bridge where they were located ushered in a rare cold scene.

Everyone put down what they were doing and looked up at the Messenger Group as if they had only known this guy today. Even the captains of both sides were shocked by the contents of this message.

The reason why a message caused such a sensation is that there is a clear description of Earth in the human mythological system of this plane, and in their mythological story, their ancestors immigrated from a planet called Kobo to the 12 colonies where they later lived.

Their ancestors had split into two groups before they reached the 12 colonies, and legend has it that one of them eventually reached a habitable planet, the Earth, after separating from the main army, and has lived independently outside the 12 colony world ever since.

A year earlier, in the early days of the Second Theron War, the fleeing fleet led by the Galactica had managed to escape the first wave of the Therons, and the fleet was filled with panic and defeatism.

At that time, in order to keep the newly formed fugitive fleet from self-destructing in despair, and in order to let the crew see a glimmer of hope in despair, Commodore Adama told a big lie to everyone in the fleet.

He lied that by taking over the final command of the colonial government's fleet, he had been given the ultimate secret that the government had kept before the war, namely the coordinates of the earth. And Earth will be the end of their escape.

Take advantage of this white lie. He led the fleet through the most difficult period. Nowadays, there are not many people in the fleet who still believe that he knows the coordinates of the earth or that the earth exists, but this does not mean that people have forgotten his promise at that time.

In the hearts of most of the fugitive fleet, they still desperately longed for the earth to be truly existent. Because if the earth exists, if the qiē is really as their mythology says, then the people who live on the "earth" are their brotherly civilizations of the same origin.

In this way, they will be able to flee to the wings of this brotherly civilization and seek refuge, and their journey will have a safe end. And that's what they crave the most. It is also the reason why they are so shocked.

"Did we really run into our fellow citizens from Earth?" The thought crept through the minds of everyone on the bridge and quickly spread with eyes and whispers.

Fortunately, there are still people here who are sober, or calm enough. Brigadier General Adama was one such person. He hadn't expected to find Earth when he used that lie to inspire everyone a year ago. So he came to his senses at the earliest, and immediately asked for further verification of this information.

On the bridge of the Pegasos, Admiral Kane was only a beat slower than him, asking his personnel to verify the content of the information and the source of the signal, and their technicians quickly gave almost identical results.

"The other party used Morse code. I checked it twice. Absolutely, yes. That's what it means. Wait, they sent something new, a big text jiàn. This was the response of the technicians on board the Pegasos. The Galactica also had almost identical conversations at the same time.

: "Isolate this terminal. After finding out what kind of document was sent by the other party, report it immediately, and also, give me Admiral Kane and bring Madam President over quickly...... "Brigadier General Adama gave these orders in a very short time after listening to the explanation of his technician.

After that, he quickly picked up the intercom on the command podium and exchanged views with Admiral Kane, who had just been connected. As for his quarantine of the terminal to prevent this newly sent text from carrying dangerous codes such as viruses, they had been tricked by the Theron people once before.

After a few minutes, the officers on both sides who were in charge of inspecting Dawen Jiàn figured out what this Dawen Jiàn was. According to the main plane, this is a Rosetta jiàn, a reference jiàn for learning new languages and scripts, containing the same content in multiple scripts and phonetic expressions.

As long as the person who receives this text understands any of the words contained in the text, he or she can use this text to interpret all the content contained in it. In other words, this is a description of the previous message, which is used to interpret the message they sent earlier.

Of course, the reason why Shen Chao did this was not because he was afraid that the other party would not be able to understand the last message, but because he wanted to "do a full set of plays". Since he is now playing the fleet of the so-called Earth Federation, he has to pretend to be like it.

There is no need for the other party to have this sense of déjà vu that they are earthlings, and that they are interrogating these unknown outsiders with suspicion. In this way, you can more realistically interpret your disguised identity, and then remove the other party's defense.

His strategy was partially successful, and the captains of the Galactica and Pegasos were really confused by his previous telegram and the Rosetta Bun sent to him. Soon, after some deliberation, they decided to start a direct channel with the Budapest.

It's just that for the sake of safety, they only opened the external route of one battleship of the Galactica. At this time, President Rothling also rushed to the bridge of the Galactica, and together they read the first message after the opening of the voice communication channel to the Budapest.

It is noteworthy that until the beginning of their reading, the icons of the warships of other expeditions in the formation were not displayed on their radars. Because the other warships, including the Budapest, remained in hiding.

"To the Earth Fleet, this is Adama, commander of the USS Galactica. We are from the 12th colony of Kobo. The colony of Kobo 12 is of the same origin as Earth and is in dire need of your help. We have been attacked by the Therons, a hostile mechanical race, and fled here...... We request to speak with your Supreme Commander. ”

After a bunch of nonsense in the middle, he still got to the point, which made Shen Chao lift his spirits, but he didn't reply to the other party immediately, but first said in the call channel: "Please wait" and then put down the intercom, sat leisurely on the side, looking at the time frame on the control platform in a daze.

Of course, he wasn't really in a daze, he just wanted to take this opportunity to consume the other party's patience, not to reply to the other party's call request immediately, but to pretend to contact the rear to seek countermeasures, so that it would seem more real. In this way, after nearly 10 minutes of silence, he finally broke the radio silence and picked up the intercom to shout to the other side.

"Calacica, Adama, are you still there?" Shen Chao pretended to ask in a puzzled tone.

"Yes, I'm still here. Adama replied in a still voice.

"Very well, you should listen carefully to what I have to say next. I am Shen Chao, the commander of the First Exploration Fleet of the Earth Federation Fleet, and I have sent the information you submitted back to Earth, and I have also received a reply. If you are indeed the heirs of Kobo, we will provide you with protection and possible help. Shen Chao just opened his eyes and said nonsense, and there was no stuckness at all.

"Thank you. ”

"Don't thank me so early, I'm not done yet. We haven't verified the truth of your claims. To that end, I will send a landing ship aboard your ship as soon as this communication is over to check and verify your true identity. If my landing party finds out that you are lying after boarding your ship, then all of the above conditions will be abandoned. ”

After sending this message, Shen Chao asked the Budapest to move closer to the other party's position at a slower cruising speed. The Galactica soon received his message and began to discuss his request. This discussion took place between the two captains and the president's wife.

In the face of such a big event, none of them has enough prestige to make a decision on whether or not to accept the other party's inspection in the time. So, following the previous model, they decided to exchange views.

"We can't let them board the ship for inspection, at least not like this......" Admiral Kane was the first to express his opinion. In her opinion, it is difficult to say whether the ship on the opposite side is from Theron or not, and if she takes the risk of letting the other party board the ship, it is very likely that it will cause serious consequences.

Their two warships had encountered the Therons countless times over the course of the year, so they both had a deep understanding of the Therons' methods. Once the Theron is allowed to board the ship, it will be a fierce battle, and it will be difficult for humans to stand against the heavily armed and heavily armored Theron Warriors in the small space inside the ship.

Although the other party claims to be from the earth, and there is a small advantage in numbers (in fact, it is a large advantage), but without any consultation with them, this kind of "overlord clause" is very uncertain.

Adama had the same concern, but since Shen Chao only mentioned landing his own battleship, he wasn't very worried. Because even if there is fraud in this, it is really the Theron people who board the ship, and the worst outcome is only the fall of the Galactica. The Pegasus and the civilian fleet were still able to escape safely after the disaster.

Compared to the possibility of meeting fellow Earthns, such a little uncertainty is simply insignificant. On the same issue, President Rothlin, who was the nominally highest-ranking of them, expressed a very good attitude, on the one hand, she hoped that the other party's message was true, because then she could get out of her life as a fugitive, and on the other hand, she was afraid that it was another conspiracy of the Theron people. (To be continued......)
