It is conceivable that those who can appear on this spacecraft must be well-trained personnel quickly summoned by the Blue Star authorities. Therefore, they quickly recovered from their curiosity and shock and returned to work. I and I
Shandora is not worried about being watched as a rare animal - although we are prepared for this and don't mind attracting the attention of the locals, being seriously watched is not fun after all.
In the end, there were only a few people who seemed to be of high rank in front of us. One of them was the leader of the previous exploration team, Mr. Qiao, but I prefer to call him the weird grandpa.
"Do you think aliens must have crooked melons and cracked dates?" I bared my teeth and glanced at the strange old man.
"According to my research, alien organisms evolved in completely different natural environments, and may have experienced completely unimaginable evolutionary paths, and have different origins and ancestors, so aliens appear on two different planets.
It is almost impossible to create intelligent creatures..." The old man seemed not to hear the ridicule in my words, and answered seriously.
"Well, the theory is correct, so there are indeed countless kinds of strange alien creatures," I replied casually, "but because of God... Well, for some reason, humanoid creatures like you and me do exist in various forms.
They account for the vast majority of intelligent creatures."
The old man immediately took out his little notebook from his arms and started taking notes seriously. Halfway through writing, he suddenly froze, as if he suddenly realized something: "Wait a minute, what did you just say?"
Mentioning countless kinds of strange alien creatures...are you saying that there are countless intelligent creatures in this universe!? Like us, intelligent creatures that can consciously learn, evolve, explore the truth of the world, and yearn for the stars and the sea
?”
I glanced at the other person, and suddenly I felt that he was a very cute old man - the look in his eyes now made me think that it was necessary to answer this question seriously. So I nodded solemnly: "That's absolutely correct. The universe is not desolate, and it is far away from you.
There is another planet with life less than ten light years away from our galaxy - of course, I can't tell you their specific location. Nor can I tell you whether they are friendly. But what is certain is that extrasolar life exists.
And it exists widely. And there is not only extraterrestrial life, but also extraterrestrial life - the world outside the universe, there are also countless intelligent creatures. You should not be able to explore that step yet, but if you can persist, there will always be
One day you will find that everything is broader than you imagined."
The old man's eyes widened and he even forgot to continue writing his notes. Next to the old man, an old man wearing a completely different white robe who looked not much younger than Mr. Qiao stepped forward and folded his hands on his chest.
He said in a very pious tone: "God also revealed this to us in a very obscure way. That's why we persisted until today and walked into the cold space."
Seeing that Sandora and I were focused on him, the old man in white robe bowed slightly and said in a steady and powerful voice: "Let me introduce myself, I am the person in charge of space exploration of this planet.
You can call me 'Nuo' and welcome you again to this planet favored by the gods. I hope that both parties can complete this historic exchange in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere."
Shandora and I also remembered that we hadn't introduced ourselves yet, so we told our names, but we didn't mention things like the empire: because they didn't know anyway. We just told the person named "
The old man "No", the two of them are leading a fleet on a long journey, and their arrival here is completely unexpected. Since they cannot start again for the time being, they may stay in this star system for a few days-this should be enough.
.
After introducing ourselves to each other, I couldn't help but turn the topic to what the other person had just said about his own gods.
"God... actually gave you tips about space exploration? What kind of gods do you believe in?"
As soon as this sentence came out, I felt a little inappropriate, because I suddenly remembered that when I was chatting with Lilina, the other party said that when interacting with people of different races, the issue of religious belief should be discussed last, so that both parties can go deeper.
It would be more appropriate to discuss religion only after making sure that there would be no conflicts on sensitive issues due to misunderstandings. As a result, I couldn't help but bring it up now.
By the way, Sandora and I both hope to have a friendly and pleasant exchange with these curious indigenous residents this time.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to care much about my question. He just smiled and nodded: "We believe in the great God of War, a powerful, wise, and loving god. His appearance ended the ignorant era of Blue Star.
The worship of the God of War unites various ethnic groups that were originally divided and fought. The God of War guides us that the real enemy should not be people with the same blood as our own, and real war should not be used to burn the homes of our compatriots. In the God of War's
Under the protection, Blue Star has become what it is today, and understands the meaning of truth in the world. We begin to explore a wider world, hoping to see the incomparably vast truth in the world spoken by the God of War."
I thought about it and felt that I still couldn't help it: "...Are you sure that you believe in the God of War? Why do I feel that this does not fit the positioning of the word 'God of War'..."
"There should never be a position for God," the old man in white robe looked at me seriously, "Mortals always impose many customary understandings on God, which in turn limits the purity of faith. The real God is God,
They have wisdom and power beyond mortals, know things we don’t know, and can therefore give us guidance. And this is not limited to how gods claim to be, because gods are omniscient and omnipotent in all areas that shallow mortals can reach.
.In fact, the great God of War sometimes calls himself the God of Light, which does not affect our faith..."
I:"……"
I couldn't help it anymore and secretly touched Sandora's arm: "Why do I suddenly have a feeling of deja vu?"
Sandora tilted her head: "Same as above."
But it seems that now is not the time to continue discussing the other party's beliefs, because the old man in white robe told us that the spacecraft is about to enter the planet's atmosphere, and the end point of the trip is near the capital of Azure Star (it is said to land in the suburbs), because the author has not thought about it yet
Okay, so this capital doesn't have a name for now.
Azure Star's mana spaceship is obviously not technically mature yet. When it lands, it actually needs to prepare a set of quite complicated gravitational traction and impulse buffer fields on the ground to land smoothly. Therefore, a lot of time is wasted during landing.
time, and as Sandora's somewhat antique-looking mana spaceship carefully dropped into the buffer field, we saw the scene outside through a large screen located at the front of the control room. It was as we expected.
The landing site of the spacecraft is far away from the city, and there is still a wasteland at the end of the horizon. I wonder if all spacecraft landing sites on this planet are set up in such desolate places - based on their level of technology, it should not be like this. Then there are only
One explanation: The authorities don't want "aliens" to land on the planet's surface to cause a greater shock to the people.
Sandora and I walked down the ramp of the spaceship with a feeling of 70% curiosity and 30% interest. We were escorted by Mr. Nuo and Mr. Qiao (by the way, why do the indigenous people in this world have such strange names)?
, and on the landing site, there was already a large group of people waiting in neat lines. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and polite. Even though the cultural differences were huge, I could smell the smell of well-trained training in them.
I don't understand this world, so I can't judge the identity of this group of people by their clothes, but I can roughly judge who these people are by just guessing: the second in command in politics, the second in command in military, and the second in command in science and technology.
There is also the second-in-command of the relevant departments. The first-in-command will definitely not appear here: as long as they still retain a little bit of normal vigilance when they first faced this kind of "supernatural contact", the first-in-command should be squatting in the air-raid shelter now.
I guess that before the spacecraft entered the atmosphere, the photos of Shandora and I should have been passed to these people, so when the two "aliens" appeared, all eyes fell on it quite accurately.
For both of us, even these human elites who are best at hiding their emotions can't control their excitement at this moment. Such onlookers made Sandora a little unhappy, so Her Majesty the Queen snorted dissatisfied.
, so everyone fell into a brief state of panic. After a few seconds, no more eyes looked directly at him.
"You are very welcome to this planet. I am the deputy speaker of Azur Star. Our speaker, the supreme ruler of the planet, is preparing a more formal welcome event for you, so he cannot come in person," a viewer said
An energetic middle-aged man in black stood at the front of the queue. He greeted us enthusiastically, and while talking to us, he looked up at the clouds in the sky.
It was very exciting to go up, and I could feel the nervousness in his bones - everyone at the scene looked the same, trying to be as peaceful and friendly as possible, strictly paying attention to every move that might cause misunderstanding, but unable to hide the nervousness deep inside.
Love, and further away...
If my telepathy was correct, I thought I spotted a circle of troops.
Of course Sandora also sensed various energy reactions locked here in the distance, but she just smiled indifferently. The strict and indifferent Her Majesty the Queen would not be angry because of this kind of thing now. Because this is not a provocative behavior.
, but the normal reaction that a lower civilization should have when facing supernatural contact for the first time - after the extraterrestrial visitors show a certain degree of goodwill and strength, their own side shows the same goodwill and is also prepared to deal with emergencies. Most of them
All indigenous civilizations should have this level of vigilance, or even a higher level. The Imperial Military Academy even has a course dedicated to this project, called "Behavioral Analysis and Classification of Isolated Civilized Civilizations' First Contact with Civilizations Outside the System"
", which contains hundreds of possible reaction patterns of different civilizations when they first come into contact with aliens, all of which are based on experience. This course is mainly for students in the college who aspire to become "pioneers" and teaches them how to become
An excellent alien who can quickly establish a bilateral consensus with the local indigenous people. As the empire expands faster and faster, more and more indigenous civilizations are discovered within the territory, this course is quite popular, and by the way, the reputation of the relevant textbooks
The editor-in-chief is Her Majesty the Queen next to me...
Therefore, Shandora has quite a lot of experience with aliens. Despite her usual harshness and indifference towards outsiders, when facing the cautious and nervous indigenous residents in front of us, she is actually better than me.
She also has a tolerant heart - of course, she is still not sensitive to the looks from the crowd.
The group of people who came to receive the "alien" first expressed their wish for peace in a short and clichéd diplomatic manner, and then invited Sandora and I to take a break in the "reception room" they had prepared temporarily.
In fact, the so-called living room is a large white yurt-like house next to the landing site. Based on the state of its base, I judge that this thing was just airdropped into this wasteland - the landing took no more than fifteen minutes. But this was a rush.
The house they prepared was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. After discovering that the "alien" looked like humans (why do I feel this sentence is so awkward?), they simply decorated the room according to the habits of their own race.
Sandora and I said that we were quite used to such an environment, and we tactfully hoped that they could relax a little bit - really, if they continue to be so nervous and serious, I will become nervous too.
Damn, I came down here originally because I wanted to see the scenery, but why did it turn into a state visit...
"Really. You don't have to be so solemn. I feel weird." Looking at two obviously carefully selected language experts (perhaps they should be called negotiators?) sitting across from me and Sandora, they looked friendly.
As they were having a conversation, there were a group of old men sitting behind them with small notebooks ready to take notes, and there were a large group of guys around who looked as if nothing had happened but who were probably experts, scholars, and special forces soldier Schwarzenegger. I felt a bit dumbfounded, "We are just
I'm passing by. The fleet can't leave, so I'll stay here for a few days. You guys are so solemn about it, but it makes me feel like the fleet has caused you trouble..."
Sitting in front of Sandora and I was a middle-aged man and woman. They were a little confused after hearing my words, and then looked at each other: "This is a historic moment for our planet, but it looks right."
This doesn't seem to be... special to you?"
This is the problem. The indigenous people on this planet are in a period of intense enthusiasm for space exploration. They are enthusiastic about life in outer space (of course, they cannot imagine the level of extraterrestrial life), but they have never seen real life.
aliens, so after seeing the Fifth Fleet that suddenly appeared above the planet, they were panicked but thought more of excitement - well, and the alien threat theory, in short. They followed the specifications of the turning point in history.
Let’s look at what Sandora and I landed. But in our eyes, the situation is exactly the opposite. This is an unplanned outing, and no matter how unplanned, it is still an outing...
The completely opposite judgment standards in terms of viewpoints have caused the two parties to always be a bit out of the same channel. Especially when I felt that someone was setting up various sensitive instruments outside the room, I felt even more dissonant.
Perhaps the only good thing is that Shandora and I have not yet encountered the kind of mad scientist who wields a small throwing knife and is eager to slice up aliens for study, otherwise we would definitely have fun - but think about it, when you
When you have a group of giant alien ships hanging over your head that are more than ten times the size of your own planet, and they may use dandruff to destroy your home planet for whatever reason, normal people probably wouldn’t even dare to think about "slicing it up"
"It's a matter of time.
"There is nothing we can do about it," Sandora spread her hands. "This is the case for semi-civilized civilizations that have just left their home planet and come into contact with alien races for the first time. Today's situation is still good. Because of the fleet, the local races cannot
There will be overreactions, and in many cases, direct conflicts between the two sides are not uncommon. No matter which world, there is no peace."
She was telling me, but the experts around me were taking notes quickly and occasionally chatting in low voices. The two negotiators in front of me also lowered their heads and muttered a few words. The middle-aged woman raised her head: "I think we know
What are the differences in concepts between the two parties? We are obviously still a young civilization, seeing the outside world for the first time, but you have traveled to countless planets and are accustomed to these... But please understand our current excitement.
…”
I waved my hand to her: "I understand, our elementary school textbooks all talked about how to be a good alien with five virtues and four beauties, so I will try to get used to it - as long as you don't watch too cruelly, it will affect our mood.
."
Another middle-aged male negotiator grinned: "Of course, we will pay attention. In addition, I am very happy that we met friendly alien guests. You know, many people showed panic at your appearance.
Now it seems that the great God of War is still protecting his people, and our first step out of the cradle is on safe land."
Once again I heard the locals talking about their gods, and I felt that the curiosity in my heart was quite uncontrollable, so I said aloud: "What, if possible, we want to see your gods... Uh, I mean look.
Look at your churches and the like. Sandora and I are very interested in religious things."
Directly asking questions such as "Where is your god, what does he look like, how do you know if he exists?" are quite reckless and can easily cause conflicts. It is better to show interest in their religion, which is both
Don't be too attentive, and don't blindly question. This is the key to communicating with people of faith - Lilina language.
And I am indeed quite interested in their god. No matter who he or she is, a god who encourages his followers to study aerospace technology and search for aliens... This is really high-end...)
