209 Negotiation VIII
Since the Outer Bone Man proposed to be stationed on Mars, the two sides of the negotiations began to fall into the quagmire of calculations.
The Outer Bone Man has always focused on the demarcation of the station, like a wandering beggar who suddenly finds himself in a communist society, and has to ask the government to pull out the house.
The attention of human beings is more focused on the mechanical civilization, and the mechanical civilization items owned by the outer skeleton people are extremely high, and the time when the mechanical civilization arrives on the earth and their combat methods are also the focus of human concern.
If it weren't for the fact that there was only one translation on the side of the Outer Skeleton, the mongrel might have split the delegation into two parts to discuss their respective concerns.
The only common denominator is probably that both sides are equally eager, so whenever the two sides can negotiate, they will immediately enter the implementation stage, and the impatient Outer Bone Man in order to show his sincerity, handed over a batch of mechanical civilization items to the human race, but this is only a very small part, and the alien fleet carries hundreds of mechanical civilization items.
I don't know if Lu Dao intentionally or unintentionally, there are only four mechanical civilization items in this batch, the large one is one meter square, and the small one is only the size of a backpack.
The trouble is that the human delegation is composed of China, the United States and Russia, and if there are three, they can be divided equally, and the extra one almost leads to an infighting in the human delegation.
In the end, the diplomatic departments of the three countries negotiated urgently, and decided the ownership of the four items by drawing lots, and the Russians had the best luck.
Fortunately, there are still many outsiders, and China and the United States don't have to be angry, just make up for it when they get it all.
Moreover, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is by no means a good way for the three countries to study the mechanical civilization separately, and the top elites of each country can be selected to form a top experimental center, so that the research results can be produced in the shortest possible time.
Time waits for no one.
Humans salivate over batches of mechanical civilization items, but the Exoskeletons will not let go, and humans must hand over Europa and a large number of organic materials before they can continue to negotiate.
Although the specifications of the human delegation are very high, many of the issues involved in the negotiations are not the right of the delegation to decide, and each delegation has a strong support team on the earth, and each negotiation, the live video will be transmitted back to the earth as quickly as possible.
After careful study, the support group decided that it was not a good idea to delay time by not handing over Europa, anyway, it would take more than half a year for the bone mound to fly to Jupiter, enough for all the troops stationed on Jupiter to complete the deployment and all withdraw - although the Outer Bone Man has created a mysterious mechanical civilization, many people still have doubts about whether the Outer Bone Man is telling the truth.
What if the Outer Bone Man made a plan out of nothing, in order to get the bone mound as close to the inner solar system as possible?
Jupiter's garrison was ordered to quietly place large-yield nuclear weapons in Europa and other moons, and even in the rings, and if the Exoskeletons moved, these hidden nuclear bombs would be enough for them to drink.
If mechanical civilization is true, it is enough not to activate hidden means.
In the long run, after the mechanical civilization enters the solar system, if the human race and the outer bone people can join forces to defeat the mechanical civilization, this small galaxy will definitely not be able to accommodate two different intelligent races, and there will be a battle between the two races sooner or later.
On the side of the collapse, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?
Conversely, if a mechanical civilization eventually takes over the solar system...... That's a hundred, there is nothing to do with humans and skeletons.
From ancient times to the present, human beings have turned conspiracy into art, and they are full of wisdom against their enemies, even if they are their own people, and the strength of the outer bone people is not too careful.
And this time is just right to further improve the medium-range early warning system, and no matter what actions the exoskeleton man has, it will be discovered by humans as soon as possible.
With the news of the humans' consent to hand over Europa, even the expressionless Outer Bone Man was also full of joy, thinking that the Outer Bone Man must send a battleship back to the Bone Mound to deliver the news, but a day later, the astronomical telescope found that the Bone Mound actually began to accelerate and flew away from the original mooring place!
This discovery made everyone pinch a cold sweat.
Didn't the Exoskeleton have no radio? Moreover, there is an electronic countermeasure ship in the escort fleet of the negotiating delegation, which monitors the electromagnetic situation in the nearby airspace in an all-round way 24 hours a day, and the monitoring records show that the fleet of the Outer Skeleton Man absolutely does not send any radio signals to the outside, but the signals on the human side come and go frequently.
However, this result means that the Exoskeletons have a way of long-range communication that humans don't know how to communicate, and it is better for them to use radio communication, at least they have no problem monitoring.
It's just that I can't bring this to the negotiation yet, what if the Outer Skeleton asks for radio technology?
Although there is no similarity between electronic technology and biotechnology, no one can tell if there is a way for the Exoskeleton Man to merge the two into one.
In this way, the negotiations gradually deepened in the cautious mutual temptation of the two sides and the back and forth of each other, the bone mound flew closer day by day, and the human fleet also took shape day by day, and once again had the strength to confront.
However, as for the question of when the mechanical civilization will arrive, the Outer Skeletons are not clear, and they can't even tell which direction the mechanical civilization will approach the solar system from.
It's not that the Exoskeletons really can't figure it out, it's that the mongrels can't translate the civilization system of the Exoskeletons into human language.
Take astronautics as an example, calculating the orbit or something is inseparable from the support of mathematics, and to enter the third type of civilization, mathematics must reach a certain level, but the outer skeleton people actually use the octal system!
Human beings use the decimal system because humans have ten fingers, and the Outer Bone Man only has eight fingers in both hands, and it is not strange to use the octal system, but mathematics is something that is absolutely impossible to master without systematic learning.
Octadecimal to decimal system is nothing to human beings, but the bad thing is that the mongrel is still a little fart child who is only one and a half years old, and it's okay to pass on a word, how can it learn advanced numerical knowledge?
So much so that the translation is often plausible, and even the shipboard computer on the human side almost made it collapse.
Fortunately, the mongrel inadvertently mentioned that the mechanical civilization was chasing the Outer Bone Man, and the direction in which the Outer Bone Man entered the Earth immediately became the focus of surveillance, and the Deep Sky Seven telescope at the Saturn base began to monitor that direction around the clock.
Five days passed in a flash, and the negotiations were finally coming to an end.
In fact, there are not many issues between humans and the Outer Bone that need to be brought to the negotiating table to discuss, and the gains of the humans are not small, and the Outer Bone People are also very rewarding, and the two sides have reached a plausible peace agreement with great difficulty, and it is still verbal.
Where the two races will go tomorrow is really a difficult proposition.

Well, I don't want to drag out the plot, so that's the end of the content about the negotiations.
