Planetary Museum

"I'm very sorry to surprise you!" The car had just stopped, and before the door could be opened, a blunt voice from the earth translator came in from outside. This was the first time Shen Changwen heard the Chinese translated by aliens. .

After the car door was fully opened, Shen Changwen saw a whole row of people lined up in front of him. They were arranged in an arc with Shen Changwen as the center of the circle, and everyone kept an equal distance from him—this was probably a welcome ceremony in line .After Shen Changwen walked out of the car door, the person who spoke just now took a step forward, then said to his luggage, "The latest news we got! At today's venue, there is an organization conspiring to launch an attack on this meeting .”

Shen Changwen frowned and asked the other party: "How long ago did you know about it?"

"Two 10 minutes ago," the other party's tone became high-spirited, which seemed to represent some kind of complacency and pride, "It only took 59 seconds to learn about the other party's plan! Please rest assured that these thugs have all died now." If they are arrested, they will be met with a ruthless trial under the Second Federal Law."

Shen Changwen began to feel a little worried: "What kind of punishment will these people receive?"

"They will be expelled from the Second Earth!" The other party's face was full of pity and anger towards these criminals, "1800 days!"

"Deportation?" Shen Changwen's frown deepened. If he, Wu Xiaoqing, and the search and rescue team remember correctly, the entire federation now has three virtual earths. If the punishment is only expulsion from one world...then he still There are three Earths to choose from.

"Is that what you mean?" Shen Changwen asked.

"It's not such a simple calculation. You have to know that many people have lived in the second earth longer than the others combined. Here is everything in his life!" The other party explained, "His friend, Family, games, almost all social relationships... expulsion is already the highest punishment in the federal law!"

Shen Changwen then asked: "Then why did they assassinate us? Just because we are also carbon-based creatures? Maybe it hinders their consciousness?"

The face of the other party changed drastically in an instant, although he immediately covered it up: "No...these you heard are all rumors, they are just instinctively afraid of foreign civilizations."

If there is any huge shortcoming in Civilization B, Wu Xiaoqing feels that he has found it-these dwarves are so bad at lying, so bad that they can't even fool aliens.Don't they think that the muscles on their faces are different from those on Earth, so Wu Xiaoqing can't see their mental activities?When this person spoke just now, the surrounding people almost all avoided their eyes.

"The time is almost up," the arc-shaped human wall split into two, making way for a path, "Your Excellency the Consul is waiting."

In fact, if the place name of the Grand Square is strictly in accordance with Xin Daya's translation, it should be called the Holy Vast Square... This square is a product of the pre-space era used by the dwarf civilization to express praise and worship for the starry sky.

The plaza is the same as the structure of the entire underground city of the dwarf civilization, and it is also layered, but here the layers are not completely isolated, but change from small to large from top to bottom. There is only one room in the center of the uppermost floor of the square. It is only a small and big place, and it is a place specially used for leaders to make public speeches.There is only one road extending from the edge to the center. Standing on the edge of this road, Wu Xiaoqing almost immediately thought of the scene in The Lord of the Rings, where the main character takes the ring to destroy—there is a road leading to a void above.The only difference is that the lower part of The Lord of the Rings is a volcano with tumbling magma, while the lower part is a ring-shaped square structure that is gradually enlarged layer by layer, and densely packed crowds above them.

The Archon was already waiting for them at the end of the road.

After all, it was a completely unfamiliar creature type. Except for the difference in the other party's clothing, neither Shen Changwen nor Xu Yan could see any difference between this consul and other dwarves.

Shen Changwen is wearing a dark blue dress today, which depicts patterns representing the various planets of the Federation. The material of the clothes itself is intelligent. After the consul stepped onto the stage, the patterns on his clothes began to shine.Shen Changwen walked up to the stage with the consul according to the movements he had practiced in advance, and then they heard the sound of a tsunami roaring from the stage.

The consul began to speak on behalf of the Federation. The main content of his speech was the discovery of the search and rescue team this time.In his speech, he was only emphasizing his respect for the parliament and his confidence in this war. Finally, he also mentioned that the reason why he invited the search and rescue team here was that he hoped that the search and rescue team and the entire federation could do a good job here. An open exchange.

Therefore, the protagonist of this meeting will undoubtedly be Shen Changwen. He will represent the civilization of the search and rescue team, explain the purpose of coming to the Federation, and explain their civilization philosophy-then, the consul promised that a referendum will be passed to allow It is up to all citizens to decide how to communicate with the civilization of the search and rescue team.

"This old fox!" Wu Xiaoqing and the search and rescue team realized almost immediately that they were being used.

But this is also expected, given the current state of the federal government, they obviously need to seize anything that can be used to use... At this time they appear as aliens, indeed... for the federal government, it almost means helping the federal government.

……

Immediately after the Consul finished his speech, he adjusted the position of the main podium, and with the movement of going down the floor, one of the two "giants" was sent to the center of the large square.At this moment, the huge square with more than 200 million people is quiet, as if the whole earth has stopped, and they are ready to listen carefully to the speech of this strange visitor.

For the consul, most of his work has already been completed today. On the consul’s pupils, the congratulatory words from the staff team are constantly brushed down. The consul’s advisers think that his conversation just now has been perfect. They have achieved the purpose they designed before—first, under the premise of ensuring the order of the venue, let the search and rescue team speak freely in a civilized manner, and at the same time use this as a hotspot to attract every citizen in the entire Federation—including those scattered in the third and third Citizens of the Four Earths, come and follow this conversation.Second, the diplomatic responsibility of the entire search and rescue team civilization and the Federation is pushed back to the Parliament.

There is no other reason for doing this, the Consul only needs to achieve one goal, and that is to bring all the people who have been stuck in the game back to reality!They don't care about the war - but now the aliens are here!You should come out and take a look!As one of his political advisers put it, at least in the short term, the first Earth will be a more interesting existence than the others because of the alien factor.

As for other hidden small targets.The Consul was less concerned by comparison.For example, according to the analysis of some linguists, it is clear that AI in the strict sense does not exist in this search and rescue team civilization, because their spaceship even needs to prepare life support equipment for several people-their original plan was to let the Federation to manufacture and supply such equipment.In other words, on the issue of dealing with the brain, the opponent seems to be on the same front as the Federation naturally!There is no doubt that this point can be used. At the very least, it can make those whose heads are filled with conscious digital thinking, sober up a little bit.

"How many people are watching the live broadcast now?"

"More than 130 billion people!" replied the Information Advisor, "because of a few minutes of delay with other planets... the numbers are skyrocketing now!"

"Why doesn't he speak?" The consul glanced at Shen Changwen who was standing in front of him, less than a few meters away, "Are you sure all the functions in this game are normal?"

"Everything is fine!" said the Archon of Second Earth. "We talked a lot yesterday...he should be thinking now."

"What are you thinking about?" the consul asked, "Could it be that he didn't even prepare such an important speech? Or did he forget his words because of nervousness?"

None of the other consultants answered, only the language expert made a guess: "It may be because he is brewing emotions... Judging from their language, the giant civilization is a relatively emotional civilization... Maybe your speech caught him off guard. .”

"How long has he been silent?" I don't know why, looking at Shen Changwen who didn't say a word, the Consul felt that he had just relaxed, and began to live like a year again, "Or is their concept of speaking speed inconsistent with ours? ?”

"Their speech speed is slightly slower, but only slightly slower." The second consul confirmed this again.

"12 seconds!" The information consultant replied, "He seems to be ready to speak."

In the eyes of everyone, Shen Changwen took a breath, and began the first sentence: "All civilization members of the solar system, citizens of the Federation, hello..."

The draft was conceived by the search and rescue team in just a dozen seconds. This kind of surprise attack by the Federation was not in the pre-agreed procedure at all, because it was only a public appearance, and the specific conversation had to be held in private.But now, although they don't want to intervene in the internal affairs of the Federation, it is clear that people from all political factions in the Federation are actively pulling them into this vortex—everyone seems to think that the search and rescue team civilization is on their side.

"We are the civilization of the search and rescue team," Shen Changwen actually just read Chinese in a low voice, but the high-pitched sound from the microphone next to him was as thick and deep as a bell, "As a group of wisdom produced in the same universe, I respect you I would like to express my sincere admiration and appreciation for the achievements of civilization, and I also apologize for our presumptuousness. The universe is so big that every collision between two civilizations is hard-won, and the universe is also very small, as small as An unintentional move by any civilization may have unimaginable far-reaching effects. In the past few days when we came to the solar system, we have already had a basic understanding of your civilization. Judging from what we know now, we can Make sure of one thing."

Shen Changwen's voice paused for a while, and then continued: "Our arrival is meaningful. As a civilization whose mission is to save civilization, we can now clearly judge that a huge disaster is brewing within your civilization. .”

Then he paused for a longer time according to the request of the search and rescue team. At this time, Shen Changwen could already feel the uproar of a large audience below, but the order in the square still existed. Although there were sporadic commotions, there were no more The voice appeared, and everyone was still waiting for him to continue.

"I know you are all waiting for me to tell you about the real disaster itself, but I'm sorry, I think you can understand one sentence. When I tell you about the disaster itself, the disaster has changed into another look."

"There are laws of uncertainty in physics—the same is true in dealing with many complex things. In fact, telling you that catastrophes exist is a huge influence in itself—but we chose this risk."

"Because my long-term rescue experience tells me that when two completely unfamiliar civilizations meet for the first time, if the two sides are wary of each other and it is difficult to find a common language, then the best solution is to tell the truth and tell more truths. We always believe that the higher the level of civilization, the stronger the ability to tolerate and accept the truth!"

"Truth is the only language in this universe that doesn't need translation."
