Faced with this dilemma of mutual distrust, there are currently two methods. The first is to keep consuming until the entire ring-shaped spacecraft has no energy. As long as there is no energy in the end, the Antek civilization will naturally make concessions.
.
However, the time required for this method is unknown. According to common sense, a spacecraft has a considerable amount of energy reserves and can last for a long time, ranging from several years to decades.
"After all, it is nuclear fusion. Dozens of tons of fuel can be used for a year, and it will be used up forever." One of the experts sighed slightly. People have no idea how much fuel is stored inside.
Second, one party must make concessions first.
Obviously, for now, no one is willing to sacrifice their own safety and make concessions.
"Alas... let the lizards decide for themselves. After all, it has something to do with their compatriots, and it's considered an internal matter." After a while, Yu Yifeng frowned and said, giving up the entanglement in this regard.
Soon, the new humans passed the news to all the lizard people exactly as it was, which directly triggered a huge response!
When they thought that there were so many hostages who had not yet been released, all the lizardmen rioted emotionally, accusing the Antaek civilization of its shameless behavior.
The two civilizations had already been at odds with each other for a long time, and now they seemed to have been ignited with a gunpowder keg, exploding with a "boom".
Within the indigenous lizard civilization, there are even some extreme hawkish voices: It seems worth exchanging a population of 40 million lizards for a population of one million Antek civilization! Just shoot them to death!
This is something that the new human civilization did not expect. I did not expect that some lizards would be so radical.
Of course, most lizards still expressed firm opposition to this hawkish behavior, calling them keyboard warriors and mouth-watering babies.
Among the 40 million hostages are their relatives, friends, and all their property! They work hard on the metal planet not only for their families and children, but also to live in the ring spacecraft. How can they just give up now?!
Three hours later, a large-scale lizard meeting was officially held on the metal planet. Lizards representing various ideologies gathered together to discuss this important matter.
The upper echelons of these lizards have been divided into several different political groups, each of which has different opinions.
The first group were the lizard aborigines from the planet Nyx who came here with the new humans. There were probably more than one million people in total. These people and the lizards on the ring spacecraft were all unrelated. Of course, the opinions were considered.
Be more radical.
The second batch is the liberated lizards from the metal planet, which accounts for the majority of the population. And these lizards, due to historical reasons, have several different political groups.
In order to facilitate rule and reduce rebellion, the Antaike civilization once divided the lizards into ten industrial areas. Now that the entire history has passed three hundred years, there is no way to directly merge these ten political groups for the time being.
"Each group represents the interests of different classes... Because of limited resources, competition was full of competition in the past. There was also some hatred between each other..."
"Political matters are very troublesome... There is no consensus on who is the boss and who has the final say." Xu Yunjin lamented.
Is a civilization that simple? Of course not. It can be consistent with the outside world when it is necessary, but it is always full of internal chaos when it is not necessary. This is a low-level civilization.
"History has inertia. Even if there is a major turning point, it is still very difficult to suddenly get back together."
Yu Yifeng also discovered a series of problems: "This also shows that the thinking form of the lizards has not broken away from the category of low-level civilization. How big of a thing is it? Is it so hard to think about things like power? If productivity in the future
Now that we are developed, hundreds of millions of times more developed, do we still need to strive for such insignificant benefits?"
"...However, it would be better to split into several countries, just like the Red Flame Horn people..."
"We still have to establish an incentive mechanism to allow them to compete energetically with each other."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that there is always a gap between the naturally born interstellar civilization and the deliberately cultivated affiliated civilization. The Antek civilization may also have been deliberately cultivated, so... it is so easy to surrender.
This natural social gap is caused by human factors and is difficult to make up for.
In this way, the discussion and decision-making between the entire Lizard senior management took a total of 18 hours, and they also had several quarrels with each other.
Perhaps they also realize that this is actually a huge opportunity to pursue power! Whoever solves this problem will win huge fame, there is no doubt about it.
After a long discussion, the lizard group really came up with a solution that was not a solution...
"Replace the hostages!"
There are a large number of lizardmen who are willing to use their lives to replace the 40 million kidnapped people.
On the one hand, it is really because of personal factors, including their friends, family, and children; on the other hand, for some politicians, if they risk their lives, if the plan succeeds in the end, there is no doubt that they can gain
huge political prestige.
"The last population of the Antek civilization is only one million. We will use one million high-quality laborers in exchange for the 40 million hostages in the ring spacecraft. As long as the other party agrees to this plan, we think they can be released
Leave first...allow them to enter the super-light state first!"
This is the final plan presented by the lizards.
"Will the other party agree?" Yu Yifeng frowned and looked at it for a long time, secretly sighing at the series of changes that the lizards had undergone in this war. Because of the encouragement of various heroes, the number of people who dared to sacrifice suddenly increased. This
It is some change in the spiritual level of a civilization.
No matter what the reason was, the lizards were able to gather one million warriors who dared to sacrifice themselves in just 18 hours. They were indeed very resilient.
"This may also be the morale generated after a great victory." He thought secretly in his heart.
"Since there is no better way, let's use this plan to communicate with the Antek civilization!" He nodded and said to the assistant beside him.
In the end, only 5% of the population of the Antaike civilization was left, all of which were randomly selected. They actually really want to leave here. Most of their military strength has been handed over, and their arms cannot twist their thighs. They can stay here for one more second.
, which means more danger.
But if they want to replace 40 million people with one million lizards, the security for them will be greatly reduced. The 40 million lizard hostages are the final guarantee. In the minds of this group of mantises, using lizards to fight with them
It is simply impossible to exchange one life for another.
The whole negotiation was difficult...
It was rejected outright from the beginning!
They even proposed that these lizards could be replaced with a small population of new humans, say one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand new humans... This would be no problem.
But this plan was ruthlessly rejected by Yu Yifeng.
What a joke!
It is true that a subordinate civilization is a subordinate civilization and needs rescue, but it is impossible to risk the population of the new human race. In Yu Yi Feng's mind, primary and secondary have always been clearly distinguished.
"It is absolutely impossible to exchange the population of the new human race for benefits."
