Chapter 119: The First Communication, Cooperation or War
The first contact between humans and extraterrestrial civilizations is underway, and the Mars exploration rover is heading towards the crater, and in half an hour it will be a few hundred meters away from the crater.
When I observed it by satellite, I didn't see it very clearly, but now when I look closely, I realize that the surface of the crater is already covered with tree roots a few hundred meters away.
Fortunately, the Mars rover is a tracked structure, and it can still move forward in complex terrain.
The crawlers pressed against the roots of the unknown plant and slowly advanced, and everyone was nervous, not knowing if they would be able to talk to intelligent life on the first contact.
Yang Zhou was also dual-minded at this time, he occasionally closed his eyes, in fact, part of his mind was already connected with the Creation Mushroom.
If Yang Zhou didn't control the Creation Mushroom, with the wisdom of the Creation Mushroom and the World Tree, he would not be able to communicate and negotiate with humans at all.
This time, Yang Zhou wanted to show a certain aggression of the mushroom civilization he created, so that humans would be vigilant.
The ultimate goal of camouflaging an alien civilization this time is to use external pressure to stimulate the internal strife of the earth.
The big filter crisis is coming, and human beings are still fighting among themselves, which Yang Zhou does not want to see.
You must know that when he reaches level 9, he will compete with other hosts, and if he does not have a stable rear, he will naturally lag behind other hosts.
At present, Yang Zhou has not developed many plants with self-preservation ability, and it is still far from other hosts.
And according to Yang Zhou's thinking these days.
Since there is competition among hosts at high levels, many good things in the mall will probably be hidden and pinched, and they will not be put on the shelves for all hosts to view and buy.
Because if it is a strategic plant seed, the mall sales are equivalent to the enemy!
Now Yang Zhou also understands a little why when the Creation Mushroom appeared, the system said that it was the only seed.
It is likely that the host who created the Genesis Mushroom in the first place regarded the Genesis Mushroom as his own hole card and would not sell such a high-level plant at all.
Yang Zhou hopes to have a stable rear, and scientists around the world are carrying out scientific research around him.
Especially in life science, the study of plant genes and life genes.
According to the information he knew, when they reached level 9, everyone teleported to the land of civilization, which should be a special space, not like an ordinary planet, more like a super huge land, without the concept of a planet starry sky.
Countless hosts cultivate their own plants in the land of civilization, and finally compete in battle.
This is similar to some lord development games.
Of course, the specific details are not very clear to Yang Zhou, and there are very few messages on the system forum.
Level 9 hosts rarely reveal these things, because it is a matter of self-interest, and the less ordinary hosts know, the greater the probability of falling behind in the Land of Civilization at level 9.
Yang Zhou has already planned to deal with the affairs of Mars and make the earth feel the pressure, so he will try his best to gather the world's top scientists to the red beach and let everyone contribute their wisdom to research more powerful biotechnology.
Relying on Yang Zhou alone cannot push the entire civilization forward.
Even if he got the technology, such as the fact that Tie Dan was transmitting nanorobot manufacturing technology at the beginning, Yang Zhou has gained a lot of data in the past few months.
These data are of little use to Yang Zhou, who is engaged in biological research, and he can't understand how to make nanorobots after reading the information.
There is also a serious problem, that is, it is difficult for him to translate all the knowledge in his mind into reality.
It's like having all the code of Microsoft's operating system in his mind, and the number of these codes has reached tens of millions of lines, and countless letters Yang Zhou can type out one by one.
But this efficiency is simply too slow.
This is the case now, Yang Zhou has mastered a lot of genetic code, and this can also be solved through the fire source, so that the gene code exists in the fire source and is stored for human research.
However, these technologies of nanorobots involve material calculations and countless knowledge of preparation processes, and it is difficult for Yang Zhou to even understand them, let alone get them in the real world.
Unless a brainwave converter is designed to transfer the data in the mind to an electronic storage device.
This kind of technology definitely exists, because Yang Zhou already knows that in the direction of the host's civilization development, there is a host that transmits its own thinking to electronic devices.
Levi said that many hosts feel that their lifespan is not enough, so they will choose this evolutionary route.
Yang Zhou remotely controlled the Genesis Mushroom and conveyed an order to the World Tree to place the Mars rover into the crater.
At this time, something shocked the human race, only to see the originally dead ground, countless tree roots suddenly moved.
Soon, a hole twisted out of the roots of a tree appeared more than ten meters in front of him.
The whole cave is much larger than the exploration vehicle, and it is clear that this is the Martian civilization in its own way, welcoming the arrival of humans.
"They have wisdom! And, get ready to reach out to us! Zhong Cheng said in amazement.
Countless people in the video conference also made various exclamatory sounds, and under the command of Zhong Cheng, the Mars rover slowly drove into the cave.
People who are on Earth can also see the relevant images, because Mars has a delay, and it will take five or six minutes for the information to make Mars move back to be transmitted.
Everyone waited a few more minutes and received the picture again.
This time the rover has already entered the crater, a distance of several hundred meters, and it will only take a moment to reach it.
When the rover enters the crater, the entire cavern is closed again, isolated from the thin air outside.
The interior is an environment with a relatively high oxygen content, which has been completely distinguished from the surface of Mars.
It is obviously more difficult to use the exploration vehicle to communicate with aliens, because everyone does not know whether alien civilizations use radio signals.
These two civilizations can't just use electronic signals to start communicating with each other.
If this really happens, it means that the Martian civilization has been lurking on Earth for a long time.
Learned the language of the earth, writing.
Obviously, Yang Zhou would not let this kind of misunderstanding arise between the two civilizations.
The rover is still moving forward because the rover's signaling device is a short-distance transmission, transmitting the signal line to the Discovery spacecraft several kilometers away.
Compared with the ultra-long-range communication of the original Oasis, it is much stronger in terms of anti-interference.
So after the rover entered the crater, the signal was not interrupted.
It may also be that special plants exist that destroy the original magnetic field, and the signal shielding effect has lost its effect.
Everyone at the space base finally saw the scene inside the crater with their own eyes this time.
Compared to the video information recorded by the Oasis, this time it is more complete and clear, and the camera can be switched to all directions.
Once again, we saw the countless animals of the Earth living in the craters of Mars.
Compared with the footage recorded by the Oasis a few days ago, the animals now live more freely and casually, and even curious puppies run in front of the rover to watch.
This was the first time the puppy had seen a car-like thing on Earth recently, and it was looking forward to the door opening and a human stepping out.
The dog's hopes were naturally dashed, and he was quickly frightened when a white object suddenly emerged from the pool.
These days, this white object often grabs it with that long tentacle.
Of course, this is when dogs are chasing chickens and ducks.
The dog snorted a few times and hid to the side, watching the white "big octopus" come to the "car".
The humans received the latest video a few minutes later, and everyone exclaimed again.
For the first time, they saw what an alien civilization would look like.
Different from the replicating fungi on Earth, the current Martian civilization has an appearance similar to that of replicating fungi on Earth, but the difference is that his tentacles are longer, and they are waving wantonly at this time.
There is no verbal communication, and people can't understand what the mushrooms are saying.
The rover didn't think about the need to make sound on Mars, so there was no such thing as a horn.
The Mars rover was originally designed to come to the vicinity of the crater, photograph the situation of the Oasis, and try to establish contact with the Oasis.
Therefore, in the design, there is no sound link, and the next communication will naturally not be able to use words.
Even if the current crater environment is similar to that of the earth, it is very convenient for voice transmission.
Naturally, the scientists were smart, and they quickly came up with a way to use a moving camera probe to find a sloping stone slab to figure it up.
This is still the first option, if it is not suitable to try, you can also use other parts of the rover to communicate with alien civilizations.
For example, moving the surface of a Martian crater in a pattern to leave a trail on the ground.
This is somewhat similar to the crop circles that often occur on Earth.
Countless special patterns may have been the revelations that unknown civilizations wanted to convey information and leave to mankind.
Camera drawing turned out to be unreliable, inflexible, and not a writing tool.
In addition, the delay is frighteningly large, and every time you control the rover to move, it takes six or seven minutes to make a time difference.
The camera is still kept to shoot alien civilizations, and information exchange is still expressed in a mobile way.
Yang Zhou now has two perspectives, one is the direct perspective seen by the Genesis Mushroom View, which is without delay, and he directly sees the Mars rover shaking around the control camera.
Attempts were made to leave a mark on a rock, but failed, and the camera's robotic arm was nearly damaged.
Yang Zhou almost laughed.
Closing his eyes is the perspective of the Creation Mushroom on Mars, and when he opens his eyes, it is the picture that Zhong Cheng's side has delayed for a few minutes.
After knowing that the camera drawing information was unreliable, Zhong Cheng immediately used the communicator to call a few technicians to design a graphic.
The message to the aliens can only be expressed by graphics.
The first picture is a replica of the shape of the fungus, coupled with the stick figure of a human being holding hands, a very harmonious picture.
The rover's computer received the images from Earth and quickly moved around.
The trajectory of the march is the appearance of the villain and the replica mushroom holding hands.
What Zhong Cheng wants to convey is that humans and replicant fungi can live in harmony and communicate with each other.
Yang Zhou praised in his heart, this is completely impossible to communicate, the first message to express friendliness, there is absolutely no problem.
Of course, if the rover had been attacked as soon as it entered the crater, the situation would have been different.
The humans on Earth waited anxiously for more than ten minutes before finally waiting for the Mars rover to draw a friendly and harmonious trajectory, and everyone was waiting for what the mushroom man would react to.
To everyone's relief, in the video screen, a tree branch suddenly grew on the ground of the crater.
Brought the mushroom man to the sky, as if the mushroom man was using the perspective of the sky to see what was painted on the crater floor.
Then something happened again that stunned everyone.
The branch was deformed, and soon became human.
Of course, the image is more abstract, it is a tree branch, and it has grown limbs like human beings, which everyone can understand, which should indicate that it is a human being.
The mushroom man then waved his tentacles and shook them with the branch man's hand, as if to show friendship.
The signal was interrupted, and the next picture would not be transmitted back until another five minutes.
While waiting for the next signal, everyone was happy.
Zhong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that this alien civilization is relatively easy to talk to, has high intelligence, and is also ready to cooperate with humans!" ”
"Looking at the situation in the crater, it should belong to a biological civilization, and technology is not easy to compare with humans." A think tank said in the video.
"I don't know if it's a species that originally lived on Mars, or if it's a species that came from outer space, do they have a spaceship?"
"This mushroom man, isn't the earth in the past?"
Everyone is asking questions, but no one is able to answer them.
The next picture was quickly returned, and everyone stopped the discussion, all looking nervously at the screen, and now it was the mushroom man who meant it.
I might give you a picture of what you mean to express yourself.
Soon, the information that shocked everyone returned, and the mushroom man actually used countless tentacles to knead the wooden humanoid into a ball.
Everyone swallowed, and it took a long time for someone to weakly say, "Does he mean to exterminate humanity?" ”
"Probably not, they're on Mars, and we didn't have a conflict before..." Some people have lost their confidence when they say it.
In the face of unknown civilizations, where is there any logic to tell.
If others are stronger than the earthlings, do you need a reason to destroy the earthlings?
Everyone was a little frightened, not knowing what kind of crisis the future of the earth would face.
The leader still calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Continue to communicate, we must know the needs of the other party, we try to cooperate as much as possible, do not cause conflicts, if they have to destroy mankind, then only be prepared to fight!" ”
Zhong Cheng agreed, and hurriedly instructed the technician to design a new communication graphic.
The crater where the rover is located is a sandy area that can be easily erased or left with new traces, making it ideal for mapping.
Moreover, the rover has the function of soil sampling, and the soil sampling drill bit can be controlled to go deep into the ground by dozens of centimeters, and the traces left by the track are not very obvious and will not affect the drawing.
New graphics appear on Mars, this time in successive pictures, and the meaning is still cooperation, not war.
Under Yang Zhou's control, the mushroom people were naturally very flexible, and Yang Zhou quickly figured out a set of effective communication methods.
He first made a large wooden plank out of the World Tree, and the tentacles of the Creation Mushroom were so hard that they could easily leave marks on the board.
So a wooden board was erected in front of the rover, and the mushroom man used his tentacles to draw pictures on it to express his thoughts.
And the rover has become a communication tool for human beings, drawing on the ground, and the two sides have come and gone.
