Chapter 265: Lies
Only the most elite scientists have the opportunity to communicate with Xiao Yu face-to-face. Being able to be led by Luca 2 to the Beijing is a testament to its capabilities.
In fact, being able to communicate face-to-face with Xiao Yu once is a great honor for Xiao Yu's affiliated race. So far, only a handful of scientists have received this treatment. It's enough to glorify them for a lifetime.
Xiao Yu set his eyes on the young scientist's face and looked at it with an inquiring eye.
The scientist was thrilled. Xiao Yu could see this from his hands, which were still trembling slightly, although he tried his best to hide them. It coughed softly, barely holding on to its composure.
"Your actions really don't make sense. The reason is simple, if the aging ghost doesn't monitor you, you don't have to, and if it does, and your methods are effective, after you've done it, it won't be able to detect you - that in itself is enough to arouse its suspicions. ”
"Yes." Luca II nodded slowly and said, "That's exactly what I meant. Jason is a great lad. After a period of training, I believe that it will have the ability to inherit my position, and after my death, it will inherit my last wish and continue to be loyal to your master. ”
Luca 2 is over 3,000 years old, and although Xiao Yu has never relaxed his research on biotechnology, and always gives priority to these scientists after the results, Luca 2 is still slowly aging. It is certain that if there is no major breakthrough in life science and technology, Lukka 2 will die within 500 years.
Xiao Yu only thought for a moment. I had to admit that the young scientist named Jason was right. But after a while, Xiao Yu noticed another point.
"There are big and small suspicions, and it's better for it to doubt us for that reason than for it to know what we're talking about. If it had known that we were secretly discussing how to deal with it, it would have destroyed us in no time. ”
"Exactly." Luka II agreed with Xiao Yu's point of view, and continued, "This is exactly what I want to say next, in order to solve this problem, I have a proposal to solve the most basic communication problem, without arousing the vigilance of the aging ghost clan. It can also achieve the purpose of communication between us. ”
"Oh? Let's hear it. Xiao Yu asked with great interest.
"First of all, it's important to be sure that the measures you've taken to improve safety this time shouldn't be used too often. Even if there is a difference between large and small suspicions, it will slowly grow large enough for the aging ghosts to take action, as a result of countless small suspicions. -- We can't always communicate every time. Let's start a shield strength test, right? So, my proposal is. Take advantage of this opportunity. We are also discussing a method of information exchange. ”
"That's a good idea." Xiao Yu said, "Indeed, as you said, it is impossible for us to carry out the method of carrying out shield strength tests every time we need to communicate. So, I'll build a language out there. This language is based on the language we currently use to communicate. It's just that the dictionary is completely different from what we have now. With the interpretation of the new dictionary, the same words will have a slightly different meaning than before. ”
Words and language are only carriers of information, and words themselves have no meaning. For example, the word "ship" is just a combination of some lines and strokes. It doesn't make any sense. It is human beings who give it meaning, and it has meaning.
These meanings are a kind of rules that have been slowly agreed upon in the development of thousands of years. However, since it is possible to give it meaning using such a rule, it is entirely possible to construct an entirely new rule and give it another meaning. Perhaps in this set of rules, the word represents "I", and in another sense, it represents "you".
What Xiao Yu has to do is to form another rule for all Lucca characters during this time. This rule must meet one condition, that is, its logical composition must be similar to the original rule, that is, any sentence can be interpreted by both rules, and it cannot be a sentence with clear logic under one rule, but garbled under the interpretation of another rule. That would be too obvious.
This kind of rule is what Xiao Yu called a dictionary. This will be a dictionary that only Xiao Yu and Luca will know, no matter how strong this aging ghost race is, it will not be able to know the specific content.
"It's a good idea." Luca II said.
"Well, in the meantime, I'm going to put together a brand new dictionary, and it's going to take a little bit of time. In the meantime, let's start talking about countermeasures. First of all, I need to explain the basics to you. ”
"In our previous speculation, we came to the conclusion that this aging ghost clan was well-intentioned, and that's why we came to its side. But now I find that this inference is most likely wrong. Having the power to kill us without killing us is not enough to prove that it is benevolent. ”
Xiao Yu said, repeated his inferences, and said his ideas.
"Then the next thing to do is to deceive this aging ghost clan through a lie, so that it thinks that the strange flickering phenomenon of the red dwarf star was only sent by the Merian civilization and not by my companion ghost clan."
Luca II and the rest of the scientists thought for a moment before saying, "That's true. ”
"So, what kind of lies should we use?" Xiao Yu asked this question, "This lie must be dispelled, otherwise, it is very likely to make some restrictive moves towards us, and these actions are very likely to hinder our future Jihua." ”
"It is a very good idea to blame the initiator of this incident on the Molian civilization." Jason thought about it and said slowly: "For a lie to be convincing, it must have one of the most basic requirements, which is half-truths, using truth on top of non-critical information and falsehood on top of critical information. For example, the aging ghost clan deceived you, and it was the half-truths that deceived us all. ”
"I think there are two places where there is a need to falsify in this deception, one is the sender of the message, and the other is the content of the message. My suggestion is to use falsehood in both places and all the rest to be true, the more true the better. ”
"To be reasonable, we must give the Murlian civilization a reason to communicate to us through the stars. So...... Because they were afraid to come here because they were aware of the danger here, and at the same time, all kinds of conventional means of communication could not be used, so they took this way to communicate to us, and the content of the message was to ask us to surrender as soon as possible, how about they can give us some preferential treatment? ”
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Not bad." Our fleet is also a big fish for the Morlian civilization, and they have always stuck to the distance of twenty light years and refused to leave, which shows that they attach great importance to us. Then, it makes sense to send us a message of persuasion. In this way, everything can be explained clearly. And...... This can also lay the foundation for our future jihua. ”
"Jihua in the future?" Another scientist muttered to himself, but it didn't dwell too much on it. "I have a few more points to add on this ground," it said. First of all, from a psychological point of view, you must not take this message too seriously, that is, you should not actively contact the aging ghost, but only wait for it to reach out to you, and then you will pretend to be casual and say this message. ”
"Yes". "After psychological research, we have found that the more casual a message is, the more credible it is. This has been verified by the more than 100 intelligent creatures of the race that currently belong to you. We can think of this as a characteristic that all intelligent beings have in common. In doing so, you can increase your chances of fooling the aging Ghost Clan a little. ”
"Is that so......" Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Secondly, just in case, you have to build another set of dictionaries out of it. Empty words always raise suspicions, but if you have the specific process and dictionary to prove it, it is much more credible. As for the source of the dictionary, you can prevaricate with the reason you obtained it during the war with the Merian civilization. ”
"That's my advice, the choice to make, the decision is in the hands of the master." After saying this, the scientist bowed respectfully to Xiao Yu, and then sat down.
"This scientist is also very cautious, and it seems that Luca II has really cultivated several outstanding talents for me." Xiao Yu thought slowly and said, "Your proposal is very good, I will seriously consider it." ”
"The first crisis is to be dealt with in this way. What should be discussed next is, how can we survive in the face of this crisis? ”
Faced with this question, all scientists fell silent.
At this time, suddenly a piece of information came to Xiao Yu's mind.
"My junior, how is your decipherment going? Have you deciphered the specific meaning of this message? (To be continued......)
