Chapter 19: Goodwill
(Thanks to the book friend 20181125173435670 for their tips and support)
Through the mayor's briefing, the news was passed up one by one, and the kings of the planet reached a consensus and traveled from all seas to meet with the extraterrestrial visitors—to sum it up, but the actual operation took a long time to realize due to the mistrust between countries, the backward way of information transmission, and the slow mode of transportation.
Of course, Lyle doesn't let time go to waste.
With the mayor's permission, a warship travels back and forth between Explorer 1 and a large island, and scientists begin to analyze the ecology of the planet, even if it is a pinch of sand, they take it back to the laboratory in a container with a rigorous and truth-seeking attitude.
Under the help of Tifa, who communicates with brain quantum waves, the Fish-People sent a warrior, and the Earthlings sent a captain who had taken care of Carlod and Tifa, and the two began to live together without protective clothing, and it was initially confirmed that the two races would not pass on fatal diseases to each other. Since it is unlikely that the participants in this experiment are carrying all the bacteria and viruses of their respective planets, the potential risk still exists, but it is enough to convince the earthlings to take off their protective suits.
It took Lyle a week to learn the language of the Fish-Folk and stunned everyone, including the Galactic Alliance higher-ups who received Mizuho's work report. What the Galactic Alliance has is the technology that allows people to master alien languages in an instant, which has nothing to do with personal learning ability, and really allows them to learn alien languages in the most primitive way, and their performance may not be much better than that of ordinary earthlings.
These results were reflected in the first summit of the two races - no need for hazmat suits, no need for sterile meeting rooms, no need for Tifa to be an interpreter, just social distancing, with a group of still wet kings sitting on one side and Lyle alone on the other.
"We understand that you don't have any ill will, but why...... We obviously have no power to resist. "Not all kings are wise men, but the one they have elected to speak seems to be a bit of a savvy man, and is not optimistic that the sea will be able to keep the people at bay from this group of visitors.
"This question needs to be explained from multiple angles." Lyle smiled, the other party was at least willing to communicate, this was already a good momentum, "First, except for the population, most of the things in this fleet belong to my private property, and I personally have the absolute power to protect my property and status. ”
“…… That is, not just 'kings'? "Regardless of the amount of property, the king has the possibility of being pulled from the throne by his courtiers and the people, and the power they hold belongs to the power of the regime, not to the power of the individual.
Lyle nodded, different from the 'handshake', this body gesture Fish-People can understand: "To tell you the truth, earthlings are a ferocious race, but the person who decides whether a group is a group of sharks or a group of krill is the leader, I don't want to be an interstellar invader, so this fleet is just a friendly guest." ”
The kings looked at each other, and it was a bit shameless to boast about their kindness like this.
Lyle, who guessed their thoughts, continued to explain: "Second, everyone has desires, and I am no exception, my desire is to explore the universe, meet different alien races, and preferably be friends and experience the life of alien civilizations. I don't mean to offend you, but being an aggressor only makes me feel disgusted. ”
From the number of kings sitting in the conference room, guess also guess that there are wars of aggression in this world.
However, more important than the embarrassment of some of the kings who lay down their guns is that they are beginning to be able to accept the first explanation, which is more credible than pure 'goodness'.
Lyle threw out the last explanation: "Thirdly, at present my fleet is self-sufficient, and there is no need to obtain some kind of resource through acts of aggression - at least you should not have in your hands what I desperately want." ”
It's a very convincing reason, but it's also a very hurtful reason for self-esteem.
"That's the end of my explanation, if you don't want to talk to us, we can leave this planet immediately." This is the greatest kindness, and it is not a good guest who can not get rid of it without saying, "If you are willing to try to contact us, I think trade is the best place to start...... Food is a universal commodity, and my people don't mind enriching their menus. ”
The kings had apparently been persuaded by Lyle, but the chosen speaker gave a solid answer: "We need to think again." ”
"Please, but I hope to reply sooner, I want to make friends with more alien races." Even if the Fish-People give a positive response, Lyle will still leave the planet within half a year.
“…… I would like to ask you," a relatively young king, who had never spoken before, suddenly asked, "If you are the king of the Fish-People, do you think you should communicate with the Extraterrestrial Visitors?" ”
"Yes." Lyle gave the answer without thinking.
"Why?" The king asked.
Lyle was as plain as if he were saying something obvious: "Because I can't guarantee that the next Alien visitor to this planet will be just as friendly, and I can't guarantee that the successor leader will be equally friendly when the leader of the Visitor's friendship dies." ”

(Kazami Overseer, please be serious.) The director reluctantly reminded.
"Huh?" Mizuho was stunned for a while, and after a while, he realized that he subconsciously smiled, and quickly straightened his face, "I'm very sorry!" ”
(Forget it, her relationship with 'that person' is there, there is no need to hide anything...... So, what are your plans? This time, Mizuho's work report was not only addressed to the director, but also to the high-ranking officials of the Galactic Alliance, who were all concerned about the attitude and methods of the 'Dark Destroyer' when he first came into contact with the weak alien race.
(There's nothing to fault about, it's completely in line with the concept of the Galactic Alliance, rather, it's more in line with the vast majority of the citizens who have been educated by the Galactic Alliance since childhood.) )
(…… But his previous case record ...... )
(It's only natural to be caught in the fightback, and we can't ask Calepse to take the wormhole sword and cut down the enemy one by one because of its strength until the other enemies declare surrender - I, the marshal, don't have a short guard, you guys who haven't been in the army.) )
(…… I'm analyzing his potential threat from his case! )
(You only stare at the part when he fights back, and naturally you can't see the part where he is quietly a scientist, and his heart is so small, why don't you go back to elementary school and relearn the concept of the Galactic Alliance?) )
(Don't quarrel, there's a little girl watching.) )
"............" Mizuho said that the signal of the Fish-Man planet is not good, and he can't hear anything.
('That man' has developed a space blockade device from the space stitching device in reverse based on the equipment on the captured spaceship.) Without discussing the strength of 'Caleps' here, I think some of the flaws are acceptable in view of his personal ability and current assertions. )
(Wouldn't it be too risky?) )
(Then share the medical technology and language transmission technology with him first, and release the goodwill as soon as possible.) )
(Personal?) )
(The mainstream values of the earthlings are too dangerous, at least this generation is not suitable for our Galactic Alliance, one day the education method will be changed, and then talk about the possibility of group inclusion.) Now let's try to absorb Lord Lyle into the Galactic Alliance alone, the Kazami Overseer, and I'll leave this job to you. )
"Yes! Please rest assured! Mizuho saluted the screen, and when the screen went black, he began cheering in the spaceship. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
