Beneath Deep Space

In the astronomical observation room, Yu Yifeng was feeling hot all over and was spinning back and forth. He now felt very anxious.

Books become less useful when they are used, and the same goes for knowledge... Although he knew deeply that humankind's technology was poor, he never imagined that a translation problem could stump humans.

In fact, it's not surprising. During this period, all their technological points were devoted to heavy industry and the research of alien creations, and the technological tree developed very crookedly.

As for the translation issue of alien languages, I have not considered it at all...

The people on the Noah had no language barriers, and the new human government did not stipulate the so-called official language.

The previous moon base was a large international platform, with English as the mainstream language. Other languages, such as French, Chinese, German and other languages, were only popular in a small area in private.

However, since Yu Yifeng came to power, many scientists and ordinary people have also begun to try to speak Chinese. The Chinese language atmosphere is gradually getting stronger and there is a tendency to keep pace with English.

All in all, people have no language barriers, so no one spends time studying the problem of "translation".

But in this case, the trouble will be huge... Human translation software is so bad that it is almost impossible to translate alien languages!

"What do you think?" Yu Yifeng asked directly when he saw that Lily Zi seemed to have something to say.

Yuriko was stunned, and while thinking deeply, she said: "Actually, we have pretended to be a tough and civilized image, and there are not many choices that can be given to us."

Because of some special abilities, her brain can accelerate in a short period of time, reaching dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary people. In some ways, she is a more talented scientist than Dr. Rimbaud.

"No matter what the other side says, we have very few choices to make. We can't be tough one moment and cowardly the next... We even have only one choice - toughness!"

Yu Yifeng slapped his head. He felt that what Lilyzi said was very right, and these words reminded him.

There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. Human beings have now reached a road with no return.

First, human beings cannot withstand any temptation, and now they have to slap people in the face and scare them away in one fell swoop.

Second, the logic of human behavior must be consistent. It is impossible to be tough at the beginning and then compromise immediately... We must let them know that the solar system is not the place they should come!

Is it possible that humans still want to be weak even after firing ion cannons? Obviously it's impossible... to be tough, you must be tough! Yu Yifeng kept reminding himself.

However, there was too little useful information... Yu Yifeng felt that it was not appropriate to just throw out a few random words without even knowing what the other party said.

What if the other party is just trying to please him, should he still curse? Although this possibility is very small, no one can guarantee it.

An astronomer hurriedly walked to the side and said something that made Yu Yifeng feel even more troublesome.

"Captain, their spaceship is still in a sub-light speed state, and the speed has dropped slightly."

……What's the meaning? Does the other party have any intention of doing this?

Time passed little by little, and his brain was working rapidly. He had to find the optimal decision in the shortest time!

He began to think about it, what information did humans have? The first thing observed was a string of radio waves, then the infrared spectrum of the spacecraft, and then the rough simulation image...

Finally, there is the dictionary sequence and a short text we got today. It’s just that this passage is extremely unsound in translation.

What other information can be mined? !

"We should analyze the radio received in the first segment. There may be something important in it!" Yu Yifeng suddenly had an idea. It was probably the other party who accidentally leaked it!

He immediately shouted loudly: "Translation... Translation of the first radio reconnaissance, hurry up, translate that part first!"

The experts acted very quickly. They imported the data and started the supercomputer. This time, it only took less than five minutes to produce dozens of pages of translations.

This translation is stinky, long, and even more confusing.

"Circuit? Left... short circuit... fire?? 40%?? explosion..."

Yu Yifeng glanced at it and felt that this text was like something created by a monkey typing on the keyboard. The specific content is completely unclear, and most of them can only be figured out by keywords. Only a few keywords are useful.

He really felt a pain in the ass. This kind of translation ability was so rubbish. In the future, we must urge scientific and technological workers to make up for the shortcomings in this area.

"It should be some alarm radio reports that were leaked somehow..." Wang Yufan on the side said with wide eyes. Some clues could still be seen in some words.

"...The condition of the opponent's spaceship seems to be not very good." Wang Yufan suddenly became excited, "No, it should be for sure! Although I don't know the specific details, but the content of this series of reports is so long, there must be many broken places!"

Yu Yifeng's heart moved, and it did make sense. Although I can't figure out the specific content, words like "explosion" appear many times...or it can be thought that there are many problems with the alien spacecraft, so a long text report is needed.

Wang Yufan thought for a moment and continued: "This is consistent with what we have observed. The large area of ​​infrared light must be caused by a large-scale energy leakage. Maybe a few of their engines blew up, or maybe there was a short circuit somewhere... They must have If you want to find a place to repair and rectify, it must be like this, that is, the solar system!”

Yu Yifeng nodded. He felt that there was not much problem with Wang Yufan's statement, and it was almost the same as Dr. Lan Bo's previous conjecture!

This radio translation was so timely, making them even more convinced of the condition of the opponent's spacecraft - terrible, it must be very bad!

Yu Yifeng suddenly made up his mind and said with some ferocity: "So, we should be tougher. They don't dare to go to war with us in this situation! Is that right? We have to force them to go to the next star, the solar system. But it’s our territory!”

"We want them to get lost!"

At this time, Dr. Rimbaud suddenly remembered something, and then shook his head: "Theoretically, this is the case. However, there may be another situation. In this case, such coercion can only be counterproductive!"

"What if, I'm talking about what if, the other party's spacecraft is in extremely bad condition and can't reach the next star? The other party's only hope is to stop here for rectification!"

"If this is really the case, if we continue to force each other hard, it will only lead to the worst result, which is..."

At the end, Rimbaud said word by word: "—War!"

Yu Yifeng broke into a cold sweat in an instant. Yes, a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and a poor rat bites the raccoon dog. If everyone is dead, the other party will definitely not hesitate to fight... Think about it, if a person who is about to drown in the river suddenly sees a piece of There was a crocodile on the floating plank, and he was not strong enough to swim to the river bank.

Then, he has only one choice, jump on the board and fight to the death with the crocodile!

Can humans defeat the dilapidated alien spacecraft? Still not working... Unless the opponent flies very close, humans can bomb with nuclear bombs. Other than that, ion cannons, Gauss cannons, and lasers are just to scare people.

Now people don’t lack research directions, they just lack time, and there is no need to take huge risks and fight with each other.

"...The form is very confusing!" Yu Yifeng muttered to himself.

He suddenly sat down and quietly digested the key words in his mind. He still had to make the final decision.

He didn't know how damaged the Green Light Civilization's spaceship was. How is the situation? Can we reach the next star? What is the energy situation? This is life-threatening security information, and the other party will never disclose it.

"It would be best if they can leave, but what if they can't? While being tough, we must leave some way for them to escape, and we must not let them jump over the wall in a hurry!"

Yu Yifeng has a headache. He must find a way. On the one hand, he can make the new human civilization behave more strongly without leaving any flaws. On the other hand, we should also leave some hope for the other party. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the other side will not start a war!
