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 very poor, he never imagined that a translation problem could stump humankind.
In fact, it's not surprising. During this period, all their technology points were devoted to heavy industry and the research of alien creations. The development of the technology tree was very skewed.
As for the translation issue of alien languages, I have not considered it at all...
The people on board 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 atmosphere of Chinese has gradually become stronger, and there is a trend of keeping 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 a certain way, she is a more talented scientist than Dr. Rimbaud.
"No matter what the other party says, we have very few decisions to choose from. We cannot be tough one moment and cowardly the other... We even have only one choice - toughness!"
Yu Yifeng patted his head. He felt that what Lily Zi said was very right, and these words reminded him.
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn. Nowadays, human beings have walked on 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? It is obviously impossible... to be tough, you must be tough! Yu Yifeng kept reminding himself.
However, there was too little useful information... I didn't even know what the other party said, so I just spat out random insults, which Yu Yifeng felt was inappropriate.
What if the other party is just trying to please you, should you 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 at sub-light speed, and the speed has dropped slightly."
...What do you mean? 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 back, what information did humans have? The first thing he 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 that I got today. However, the translation of this text is extremely unsound.
Is there any other information that 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: "The translation...the 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.
Yu Yifeng glanced at it and felt that this text was like something created by a monkey typing on the keyboard. The specific content was completely unclear, and most of it could only be figured out by keywords. Only a few keywords were useful.
He really has a very painful feeling. This kind of translation ability is so rubbish. In the future, he must urge scientific and technological workers to make up for the shortcomings in this area.
"It should be some radio reports used for warnings, but they were leaked somehow..." Wang Yufan said with his eyes wide open. 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 he couldn't figure out the specific content, words like "explosion" appeared many times... Or it could be thought that there were many problems with the alien spacecraft, so a long paragraph was needed.
Text report.
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 so? We have to force them to go to the next star, the solar system,
But it’s our territory!”
"We're going to get them out of here!"
At this moment, 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 cannot 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 a broken alien spacecraft? Still not... Unless the opponent flies very close, humans can bomb it with nuclear bombs. Other than that, ion cannons, Gauss cannons, and lasers are just to scare people.
Nowadays, people are not short of research directions, but they are short of 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. What was the situation like, could it reach the next star, and what was its energy status? These were life-threatening safety information, and the other party would never reveal it.
"It would be best if they can leave, but what if they can't? While being tough, we must leave some escape route for them and 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, he must leave some hope for the other party. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the other party will
