I warmly greeted the ambassadors from various countries who were at a loss, and the latter became even more at a loss...
Shandora next to me kept a decent smile while twisting my waist from behind, causing the facial features on my face to turn upside down in an instant. The ambassadors from various countries opposite immediately expressed horror. It is said that these gangs have always treated us as foreigners.
The guys from Starman don’t think I’m going to transform, do they?
The ambassadors with strange expressions looked at each other, and finally sat down one after another at my signal. I have to say that even if you are a politician who has seen a lot of worldly affairs, you would be better off throwing him into an alien base than Grandma Liu.
Not much.
"First of all, don't say any nonsense like welcome to Earth."
I said it before anyone spoke, causing the group leader to lower his head.
"Then don't say you came with the desire for peace."
A certain white man felt embarrassed.
"And don't mention trivial things like cultural exchanges."
Half of the ambassadors fell silent.
"Finally, I'm not Korean."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Great, it seems there is no Korea in this world. I thought they were already everywhere."
Ambassadors from various countries immediately listed the country "South Korea" as an extremely dangerous and annoying civilization in the universe. Don't you see that all your alien friends are not interested in these two words?
"I know you have a lot of questions." When I saw a fat man with military medals all over his body who wanted to hang them on his front teeth, he raised his hand and wanted to speak. I decisively chose to interrupt. Although the man might have been a soldier, I have grown from that.
I can smell the sour smell of politicians in my bigger body. In order to avoid being told to fall asleep by political rhetoric on the spot, it’s better not to give Ya a chance to speak, “But I’m not used to your nonsense. As you can see, it’s all here.
Elite Imperial Army, we believe in the most efficient solution rather than spitting on each other, so I will not respond to unnecessary diplomatic rhetoric, I hope you can understand."
Humph, why am I so high-profile? We came all the way watching science fiction movies. I don’t believe these guys dare to risk the Star Wars to show off to me!
Okay, I admit I'm just in awe of politicians' diplomatic rhetoric...
The ambassadors looked at each other. Being put at a disadvantage several times in a row made these politicians who were used to occupying the home field feel very uncomfortable. However, before setting off, they had been repeatedly instructed by their immediate superiors to do their best no matter what happened in this contact.
It is possible to avoid conflicts with "aliens". After all, humans are now driven crazy by biochemical viruses. It would be terrible to offend a group of alien tourist groups.
However, the words "Imperial Army" I mentioned also made these human ambassadors frown. At such a tense moment, the stationing of an alien army on the earth does not sound like something worthy of celebration.
After a slight hesitation, the Asian man who was the team leader spoke. After experiencing the initial surprise, the other party had regained his composure and said in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing: "In this case, we are more willing to use simple and direct communication methods.
...Well, this is the first official contact between the two races. We are willing to choose an open and honest communication method, and we hope that you can adopt the same attitude."
With a depressed expression on my face: "We are willing to be honest, but the two races and the like... Well, for the sake of a friendly atmosphere, I hope we can ignore this issue."
In fact, I want to say that I am also a human being, but I am afraid that he will not believe me.
At this time, the slightly stout white man sitting opposite immediately seized the opportunity to speak and said in less proficient Chinese: "In that case, the first thing we want to know is, where are you from? And again?
Why did you come to this planet?”
It can be said that these two questions are what these ambassadors are most concerned about. They even said that as long as they can get the answers to these two questions, their mission here today will have been completed.
Although after seeing the imperial soldiers patrolling everywhere in the base and the fighter planes whizzing by, they thought they had found the answer to the second question.
"The first question, I'm afraid this will go beyond your current scientific system. You can think that we come from another universe. Of course, parallel space can also be explained. Although it is not accurate, it can also be used as an answer. We come from earth... uh,
The Xiling Empire is a civilization that cannot be explained by your science. My lover and I are the current rulers of the empire. As for our purpose here..."
Having said this, I signaled to Sandora with my eyes, who nodded, and then pressed a few buttons on the table: "We received your distress signal."
After Sandora's words fell, a murmur of calls rang out in the conference room: "...ZiZi...We are...the zombies have...someone has been bitten...infected...ZiZi..."
The recording was interrupted at this point and could no longer be played. Background music began to play later - I recorded it from Resident Evil.
The ambassadors looked at each other, and then the black man who just took out the lollipop stood up: "Did you come here after receiving the distress signal from the earth?"
"Yes, according to the provisions of the Pan-civilization Protection Convention, any civilization with space navigation capabilities has the responsibility and obligation to rescue an evolvable intelligent race in crisis. Therefore, we came to your world."
This is no nonsense. This harmoniously sounding pan-civilization protection convention actually exists, and it is still implemented in many technological worlds as a law recognized by the entire universe. As for its original framer——
Besides Apostle Xiling, who has the ability to formulate laws for the entire universe?
Such a reply made the ambassadors stunned for a moment. Naturally, some people raised doubts, but this doubt was quickly proved to be completely impossible: as an "alien civilization" that has never communicated with the earth, we have no need at all.
Breaking this lie with them, and telling this lie will do us no good, right?
Human beings in despair will give up their great hope even if they see the faintest light. Rather than interstellar bandits taking advantage of the danger of human civilization, they would rather believe that there are really kind-hearted aliens.
Come and help others.
Although both conjectures sound equally nonsense.
As for the so-called distress signal, the ambassadors finally determined it to be that under some extreme coincidence, a radio call that should have been exhausted in the atmosphere was strengthened, and then spread into space, and happened to
We were picked up by aliens passing nearby, and then we fell from the sky.
As for what the hell is going on with the extreme coincidence, let those scientists who are not yet dead give it a headache!
One thing worth mentioning is that the defense minister of a certain country proposed to find the sender of this distress signal and then recognize him as a human hero, which was unanimously agreed with the representatives of the audience...
"So, a consensus has been reached. First of all, we want to know where did this virus first appear? Was there a problem with biochemical research in a certain country?" I said while turning on the holographic projection in the center of the circular conference table.
Presenting the entire planet in front of everyone, "Among the many carbon-based civilizations we have discovered, it is not uncommon for genocide to occur due to such reasons."
"We did have such a conjecture at the beginning of the disaster, but this possibility has been ruled out. The initial location of the virus outbreak was in a desert," an ambassador said, and then pointed to a certain location on the holographic projection.
, "This place is completely uninhabited. We can swear that there is no biochemical research base of any country here. In fact, we already have some conjectures about the origin of this virus. They...may be extraterrestrial objects."
"Extraterrestrial objects?" I raised my eyebrows, feeling that things were starting to get interesting, especially when I saw the serious expressions on the faces of the ambassadors from various countries opposite. It seemed that this "extraterrestrial object" was already recognized by many governments.
Guessed?
"That happened about a month ago," an ambassador in a white robe stood up, removed his eyes and wiped his forehead without a drop of sweat, "a... huge material from outer space fell.
In that desert, it is very huge, with an average length of even more than 120 kilometers! And it has an amazing mass. Originally, such a large-scale space material impact would definitely lead to the extinction of the entire earth's ecology, but its falling speed is far faster
Lower than the theoretical value, it is like a controlled emergency landing..."
This time even Sandora was interested: "A spaceship that made an emergency landing on the earth? This is a bit interesting..."
"We are still just speculating that it is an outer space spacecraft, but the actual situation is not yet certain."
The other party showed a wry smile and said this.
I was surprised: "No way? Didn't you go over and take a look?"
"Of course we sent a scientific expedition team to study the outer space material, but... no one came back alive. Then, with that desert as the center, the zombie virus began to spread. After that, we also sent out several groups of scientific research teams, but
There is nothing to gain except greater sacrifice.”
"The source of infection comes from outer space..." I whispered, "This is really a dramatic development, Sandora, do you have any clues?"
The latter shook his head: "It is difficult for carbon-based life to survive in outer space. Even something as tenacious as a virus cannot withstand cosmic radiation for too long. And even if there are viruses that can survive in outer space, I have not heard of them.
It has been said that there is such a thing that can turn people into semi-undead. There is isolation between life forms. Even if they are both carbon-based life forms, if they come from two different planets, their genetic coding rules will be hugely different, that is
Said that it is almost impossible for a virus from Planet A to infect any creature on Planet B, and didn’t Bubble pass on the latest research data this morning? No foreign gene residues were found in the zombie samples. Their genes
If it is entirely a mutation that occurred on its own, the possibility of being infected by the virus can basically be ruled out."
"Then, didn't the thing that infected humans come from the crashed object?"
The Asian man who was the team leader said in surprise. He had no doubt about Sandora's analysis. Compared with the crude technology of humans, these "aliens" in front of them were definitely many times more advanced. Therefore, all the human ambassadors chose to believe it.
There is no way to disbelieve our judgment, since they themselves can’t judge anything anyway.
Sandora still shook her head: "I just said that the possibility of a virus has been ruled out, but if it is some kind of toxic substance carried by the thing itself, or the radiation energy can cause human gene mutation, it is very possible."
"The possibility of that thing being the source of infection is over 90%," I said, "But even if you failed to find out the secret of the crashed object, you should have collected some information, right? At least there should be someone
Only with pictures and more information can we formulate a response plan as soon as possible."
"Of course," the team leader replied immediately, "Although we have not been able to collect actual scientific research information, we still have a lot of pictures taken by satellites and drones. I carry the relevant information with me...
"
As the team leader spoke, he took out a small USB flash drive from his jacket pocket, and then suddenly became embarrassed.
"Um..." the team leader hesitantly raised the USB flash drive in his hand, "Do you use USB?"
Rules of Contact of the Fifth Kind: When meeting aliens, it is best to exchange information in the most primitive way that can be understood by both parties. An old photo is better than a USB flash drive.
Obviously, the lovely leader had never thought of this before. He thought he could find a computer with a USB port in an alien base!
"It's really troublesome," Sandora sighed and motioned to a Xiling soldier to take the USB flash drive and put it into a groove on the table next to her. "More than one civilization has made such a low-level mistake."
The mechanically synthesized sound echoed in the conference room as the groove closed: "Unknown data carrier found... The composition is being analyzed... The principle of the carrier is analyzed, the corresponding technology of the carrier is analyzed... The encoding method is analyzed... Decoding is successful, and the corresponding interface is being generated.
…The interface is ready.”
Sandora nodded at me: "It seems we don't have to stuff Windows XP into the head of the little girl in the nest."
I:"……"
The high technology of aliens once again shocked everyone. The binary data storage technology that humans have painstakingly studied for decades was thoroughly studied in ten seconds. As an apostle of the earth's spiritual spirit, should I cry or laugh at this time?
?
The holographic projection in the center of the conference table was replaced by high-definition photos taken by humans. As the team leader said, there are photos from satellites and drones from all angles. It seems that the harm of this thing is limited to living things and automatic machines.
After getting close, he was not affected by energy radiation.
"This picture is a picture we took through satellite," the defense minister of a certain country pointed to a picture and said, which immediately automatically enlarged to the entire holographic projection, "its overall shape is arc-shaped, and its length is 120 kilometers.
The thickness is only a few kilometers, and there are many obvious fracture marks on the edges. It looks like pieces that have fallen off a plate or a ring... Uh, how do I exit the full screen?"
I raised my forehead with my hand: "There is a small screen in front of you, click on the cross..."
After the Minister of Defense exited the screen in embarrassment, another young man in a suit stood up. It seems that these pictures were not taken by one country. Perhaps this is proof of the unity of all mankind?
"This picture was taken by our drone at a very close distance. We found that there is a very complex metal structure inside, and there are also many isolation spaces of unknown meaning. They may be cabins or something like that, but
It’s all empty inside…”
"This picture is the last picture sent before our scientific research team lost contact. They had reached the lower part of the alien object and tried to enter, but at that time they had been affected by some kind of radiation. Feng, who was the leader of the expedition team,
The doctor clicked the shutter in a trance and sent back the photo. We saw a corridor and many messy pipelines..."
Shandora and I watched the flashing pictures carefully, with extremely serious expressions. The situation was not good. Those mechanical structures... looked too familiar.
Viska, who had been sleeping soundly in my arms, woke up without knowing when. At this moment, he was looking at the photos of the fragmented wreckage with sleepy eyes. Then he suddenly gently tugged on the clothes on my chest.
He whispered: "Brother, brother, that... seems to be the star ring outside the Viska Barrier Star..."
I broke out in a cold sweat on the spot... If the radiation energy in the star ring of Viska Barrier Star was released, it would be absolutely easy and stress-free to destroy the entire ecosystem.
This... seems to be the biological crisis that humans are facing now, or is it Viska's responsibility?
Well, you can't say that. After all, it was not Viska's intention, or it was the result of this crazy girl without even realizing it. And no one knows why her star ring fell to the earth.
It is unjustifiable both emotionally and rationally to shift the responsibility to Viska, who was completely indifferent from the beginning to the end.
Is this considered littering and hitting the flowers and plants on the roadside?
"Okay, we already understand the general situation." Looking at the photos of the star ring fragments taken from various angles, I waved my hand and said, "Is there any more information?"
"If it's about that extraterrestrial object, this is all the information we have collected. The rest is the results of our research on zombie viruses, but those things..."
"We can't use it."
I said it simply and neatly, and upon hearing this, the representatives from various countries looked very calm...
"We need to conduct internal discussions on the remaining matters." I put Viska on the ground and announced the end of the meeting. "You can take a short tour of the base under the guidance of our staff, and then we will decide on the best solution."
The plan...well, that's it..."
After hurriedly finishing my speech, I picked up Sandora and left without saying a word. I didn't care about the expressions on the faces of the representatives from various countries behind me. This situation in Viska was so disturbing!
Let the ambassadors regard this behavior of waiting for guests after a meeting as an alien custom...
