Chapter 698: The Charm of Art
The huge flying saucer, 300 meters in diameter, is like a cloud slowly approaching the Elven Empress; Fighter jets of several tens of meters, mechs of different sizes, suspended in the airspace. The color of steel, the lightness of clouds, this strange combination, the weight of the natural, even more surprising the empress of the master of magic! The more you know, the deeper you understand!
The Elven Empress quietly looked at the civilization in front of her, her eyes flashing with excitement and vigilance; There is hope, but there is also tension. As the magic dragon said, such a civilization, a civilization that can cross the stars, is definitely not simple.
Thousands of years of killing have made the simple elves gradually accept the real world, and they have gradually begun to understand some of the laws of the jungle. The Elven Empress certainly won't be a fool! I was wary of the civilization that had suddenly arrived in front of me.
In particular, a piece of steel color, more than two thousand in number, enveloped the space of ten kilometers; The flickering metallic light, like a signal of danger, made many of the elven warriors who had just recovered from the battle still nervous.
However, many elves looked strangely at the metal objects in front of them. Could it be that this civilization is a metal creature? Especially the thousands of mecha next to it, these are all human shapes, and each one is different; This made the elves even more curious. Truth be told, these steel objects are of all sizes, but they are all extremely elaborate; The kind of design that combines technology, art, geometry, mechanics, etc., is a kind of art from industry.
However, it didn't make the Elf Empress wait too long, and the armed flying saucer of more than 300 meters suddenly shot out a hazy light, and the stereoscopic projection technology was activated in an instant. A one-to-one Zhang Wenliang and Dongfang Xiaoyun appeared at a distance of 30 meters in front of the Elf Empress.
"Hello." Zhang Wenliang opened his mouth with a smile, of course, he must be speaking Chinese. And the etiquette is a retro fist hug salute.
Despite the language barrier, a smile is the best communication tool among humanoids. And it is a kind of strength to speak your own language and speak your own language with a confident attitude when you meet!
"Hello." Dongfang Xiaoyun squatted slightly, which was a woman's etiquette in ancient China, ten thousand blessings.
Gentle courtesy, gentle smiles, and clear words vividly express the heroism, handsomeness, gentleness, beauty, kindness and wisdom of human beings. This seemingly concise set of etiquette has actually been designed and reviewed by many experts. Even testing newborn babies – making newborn babies smile and not cry – is the best way to do that. Of course. For this. Zhang Wenliang and his wife also put in a lot of hard work. Every action in the ritual is accurate to the millimeter!
Of course, the royal aura on the two of them also made the elf empress feel a kind of nobility of the superior. But it's expensive but not delicate. It makes people feel like a fresh breeze. Decades of imperial career. Plus the hermitage of recent decades. has allowed Zhang Wenliang and Dongfang Xiaoyun to get a kind of back-to-basics realm. It's just that this state of anti-purity and return to the truth makes the empress even more frightened.
People say that first impressions are very important; And now. It is by virtue of the first impression that human beings have left a beautiful first acquaintance in the hearts of the elves.
Of course, the first contact with Zhang Wenliang did not allow him to translate the language of the elves; It's a gesture! The strength of the political zhì is sometimes expressed in this subtlety. In any case, Zhang Wenliang came to conquer the planet on behalf of the Empire. And not really stupid to send peace and civilization!
However, smiles and etiquette are easy to understand and communicate. The Elven Empress hesitated slightly, clasped the scepter to her chest with both hands, and bowed slightly. To be honest, there really isn't a certain etiquette here for the Elven Royals - because they're the biggest. And the other civilization, the Demon Dragon Clan, has only fists between the two sides! However, after all, it is an intelligent life, and when the inspiration moves, the etiquette of showing respect will evolve a little.
"Please." The gesture of invitation is similar to that of every intelligent race.
"Whoosh...... a small hovercar flew out of the flying saucer; The top is a transparent crystal-like shell, and the bottom is a titanium blue gold color, which is beautiful. The round shape looks a little cute, and the metal shell on the bottom half carries some delicate patterns. In order to conquer this elven civilization, the empire has put a lot of effort into taking into account every detail.
The lower part of the hovercar is the engine and metal casing with exquisite patterns. And in the upper part it is mainly a transparent roof made of special materials. This material is enough to block a general missile attack. Of course, nothing can be done about high-intensity lasers and electromagnetic guns. To be precise, as long as it is hit, for the time being, humans do not have any technology to stop the destructive power of the rail cannon. The technology of the rail cannon, in a sense, is enough to carry out the entire history of human civilization!
The upper transparent cabin cover of the hovering vehicle is made of a variety of materials, and the main body is colorless and transparent. However, through guò coating and other technologies, the cabin cover is under the light, and it is brilliant; It is not particularly bright, but it has a smart beauty.
As soon as this artwork-like hovercar came out, the Elven Empress's eyes straightened. In this world where even clothes have to be woven with special leaves and plants, who would have thought that there would be such an alternative and beautiful work of art!
Yes, even the clothes on the Elven Empress's body turned out to be made of fine plants if you looked closely. And these plants turned out to be alive!
It can only be said that different civilizations have their own characteristics.
Crash...... A ten-meter-sized, crimson mech hovers next to the hovercar. Although it is a metal material, with the advancement of science and technology, Li Xinyu's aunt's mecha has also been upgraded several times; Today's mecha looks no different from Li Xinyu himself, except for the softness that has no skin. Long thin hair fluttering in the wind, but don't be seduced by this beauty.
After a hundred years of research, these hairs are the deadliest weapons. There has always been a spear in his hand, 12 meters long, but it is the master of technology. Comes with laser attacks, rail cannons, and even discharge attacks! It's a mythical artifact! And the physical offensive power of the spear itself is also very terrifying. Some cutting edge positions are made of metal materials (which can be understood as degenerate states) directly composed of atoms under the picometer technology developed by the Sword Group. Sturdy and sharp! Hard metal is not as good as tofu in front of this material. Although there is only one layer of plating, it is enough to achieve the process of destroying decay. However, the metal is too heavy and dense to completely replace existing high-strength metals.
In addition to this bright and beautiful mecha in red, there is also a black fighter. This fighter has rigid lines, streamlined shape, and is flattened, and several gun ports around the body are arranged just right. A fighter jet is designed to give people a feeling of agility, calmness, wisdom and sharpness; And the perfect design makes the fighter itself look like a pinnacle work of art. Exactly. Between technology, technology and art. There is an inherently interdependent relationship.
Among intelligent civilizations, art is always the easiest language to understand. At that time, silk and porcelain in China were actually works of art, but they were frantically pursued by Westerners. I even sold a pound of silk for the price of a hundred pounds of gold!
And now. Artistic ideas from the earth. In this distant world, it is used as the first language in the communication of civilizations!
Zhang Wenliang is carrying Dongfang Xiaoyun. With only one driver (Gao Chengyang) and one fighter (Mu Yunshuang) and one mecha (Li Xinyu), under the guidance of the elves, they slowly advanced. The remaining large forces, mighty and far behind, but far behind.
Zhang Wenliang's "bold" behavior made the Elf Empress feel moved. At the first moment of their meeting, the other party believed in his side like this, which greatly increased the empress's favorability towards humans. Although there is no real dialogue between the two sides until now! -- Language barrier.
The huge spaceship itself brings the dawn of civilization and the power of steel; The brief exchange shows the beauty of the earth's art and etiquette; And now going to the elven hinterland alone, it is trust and courage to show Xiàn.
In three simple steps, it has inadvertently captured the hearts of the elves!
Along the way, the mighty elves flew in a variety of ways, some with a breeze around them, and some with clouds trembling under their feet; While the earthlings were observing these elves, the elves were also observing this civilization from the starry sky.
As you go deeper, the surrounding trees are towering, and all kinds of cute and even cartoon critters are active in them. Even because of the slow flight speed, some birds actually flew on top of mechas, fighter jets, and hovercars, looking curiously at this thing that they had never seen before.
In this regard, Zhang Wenliang and others responded with a friendly attitude; Or even use this to turn on soft music. This is not the traditional well-known classical music, but a light piece of music specially tailored to the essence of plants and animals, absorbing the essence of various ethnic music and cultures, bringing together top musicians, and even computer-corrected music. A perfect piece of music!
Soft music sounded, and some small animals that could fly unconsciously began to circle around the hovercar, they sang and danced, and even spontaneously lined up in various formations in the musical environment.
What humans didn't expect was that some elves were even dancing to the music with magic and behavior; There are even plants dancing around.
The initial contact can simply be said to be: perfect!
The Elven Empress looked at the hovercar slowly floating behind her, and shock flashed in her eyes. Just a moment of contact, the other party took out so many things. As the emperor who leads the elven race and was born in this era of war, the wisdom of the elven queen should not be underestimated. These means made the empress feel comfortable, but her heart sank slightly.
Is it good or bad for such a civilization to come to the elves? If you think about it, you will find that these are all carefully arranged!
However, it was too late! Looking up at the sky in the distance, the giant object that glittered in the light looked small from a distance, but it still gave the empress a kind of oppression: powerful!
However, thinking of the magical power of the elven clan, the empress suddenly regained some confidence. In terms of contact, the source of the power of this civilization is the outer metal shell, not itself; In contrast, the source of the elves' power is itself!
Surrounded by giant trees, vines and flowers. It's a fairytale world.
Gently, a little noise came; The hovercar landed gently on the ground. Then Zhang Wenliang carried Dongfang Xiaoyun, followed by Gao Chengyang, and the three of them wore tights and carried compressed air on their backs. After all, it is to contact a new world, and in the face of those invisible microorganisms, we have to guard against it.
It's just that the elves were shocked when they saw such a costume, and they could only see the faces behind them through the mask.
"I'm sorry, but the environment here is not enough for us to fully adapt to, and we have to survive in our own environment for the time being." Zhang Wenliang can only smile bitterly at this, there is really no way to do this. Even all these machines that have come to this world have been disinfected to prevent disasters. This sentence was translated into the language of the elves by a computer; It's very blunt, but the meaning is roughly clear.
The Elven Empress is extraordinary after all, and after a little consideration, she will understand. Just like a fish can't get out of the water, an elf can't get rid of a plant entirely. (To be continued......)
PS: Today I saw a lot of readers complaining a lot about the lack of updates. First of all, I am glad that there are so many readers who enjoyed this book. But on the other hand, please understand the hard life of office workers, and science fiction is not easy to write, and it often requires calculations, and you have to look at the reasonableness of some settings.
