This speculation is basically consistent with what Xiao Yu thought... It wasn't Xiao Yu himself. Everyone's suspicions pointed to that weird star.
"I also think this is the reason." Another scientist stood up.
"I agree."
"I agree."
These scientists are all highly intelligent creatures, and at this moment, they have already figured out the various complex relationships involved.
Of nearly 10,000 scientists, not one person raised objections to that scientist's speech.
"Very good, I think so too. It is very likely that the Molian civilization did not come to hunt us down because of some influence of this strange star. Then... we need to consider a question, what should we do?
?Perhaps it would be better to put it another way, should we escape next, or should we continue to stay here? "
"Why should we escape?" A scientist from Race No. 91 stood up and expressed his objection. It said: "The Merlian civilization does not dare to come here. We can develop with peace of mind. If we escape, we may be attacked.
The Merian Civilization is waiting for the opportunity. I don’t think the Merian Civilization can easily give up such a big piece of fat.”
"Yes, continue to stay here and wait until our technology tree is perfected and our fleet is strong enough before we leave here. By then, why should we be afraid of the Merian Civilization?"
"It's better to stay here."
Many scientists stood up and expressed their objections.
Xiao Yu has always been very tolerant of objections in science or specific matters, and encourages these scientists to raise objections. Because only in the collision of different opinions, the truth will gradually emerge. Of course,
Objections are limited to these aspects. In terms of politics, such as loyalty and other matters, Xiao Yu will never allow them to have any objections, even if they are just thinking about it.
Encouraged by Xiao Yu's policy, everyone always expressed their opinions at every discussion meeting, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Among all the objections, Xiao Yu felt a little disappointed, because this meant that they did not think of a deeper reason.
"No, I think I roughly understand what the master means." Luca No. 2 said: "The master means that the unknown existence affected the Merian fleet and prevented it from coming to hunt us down, which gave us a temporary
safety. But...can we conclude that it is well-intentioned based on this alone?"
"Perhaps... it just took a fancy to something precious in our fleet, and in order to snatch it into its own hands, it stopped the Merlian civilization from pursuing us? And after we arrived at this binary star system, it
Maybe he thinks he has a chance to win and is not afraid of us escaping, but just wants to observe our reaction to get more information, so he has not taken action against us for a long time?"
"Why... it can't be malicious? Isn't the universe we see dark enough? Hasn't the darkness of the universe washed away the innocence and childishness in your hearts? The cruelty we have seen is still
Not enough?"
Luca II's speech was like a bomb. The sound of the explosion was so violent that the venue temporarily fell into silence.
Many scientists had thoughtful expressions on their faces.
"Luca 2 has indeed lived up to my expectations. It has always been the most outstanding psychosocial scientist." Xiao Yu thought with satisfaction and said, "Luca 2 is right, that's what I meant.
That’s why I called everyone together and held this meeting. As Luca 2 said, we cannot think that it is well-intentioned just because it prevented the Merian civilization from chasing us."
"Sir No. 2 is right. We really cannot draw this conclusion. Then, there is a new question. If it is true as Mr. No. 2 said, this unknown existence is malicious and is only temporary for these reasons.
They didn't take action against us, so what if we... knew it? Under such circumstances, would it still allow us to escape? Do we have a chance to escape? "
After a moment of silence, another scientist stood up and expressed his opinion.
"In the previous stage of discussion, we have come to the conclusion that it is because of this unknown existence that the Molian civilization did not come to hunt us down. And I think the problem at this stage is not actually a problem. Because no matter what,
There is no need for us to leave here. The reason is very simple. If the unknown existence is benevolent, there is no need for us to leave here at the risk of being waited for by the Merian civilization. And if that civilization is malicious, we cannot leave. So.
, no matter what the possibility is, we cannot leave."
Another scientist said.
"No, I object." A Lucca scientist stood up and said: "You are a later civilization, and you have been attached to your master for a relatively short time. There are some things you don't know. In fact, we have already
I have encountered a similar situation. It was a very powerful alien civilization with at least level 6. The situation at that time was that it was trapped on a white dwarf star for some reason and could not escape. So, can we
Find a new explanation. This unknown existence is trapped on that star for some unknown reason, so it has no way to deal with us?"
"Maybe it could break free from the influence of this star at any time, so the Merian civilization, which was aware of the danger, did not pursue it. And since it has not escaped from this star, does it mean that we still have a chance to escape?"
The scientist's speech caused Xiao Yu to think deeply.
I have to admit that this speculation is very reasonable.
"So, should we leave or stay?" Xiao Yu asked this question again, "I need to know everyone's opinions."
"Let me express my opinion." A scientist from Race 36 said, "I think that all these are just our inferences. In fact, we can't prove anything at all. Any speculation,
We can't prove it's right or prove it's wrong. There's no point in continuing this discussion."
"Perhaps, the unknown existence in our deduction does not exist at all? Maybe the Merian civilization did not come to hunt us down, just because of an internal turmoil in their civilization?"
Luca 4, which had been silent for a long time, pressed the button to apply to speak. After receiving Xiao Yu's permission, it said: "I would like to point out that your speech is also meaningless. What we are currently discussing is whether we should leave or not.
"Liu, your speech did not make any useful suggestions."
"No, I haven't finished speaking yet." The scientist shook his head and continued: "Since we can't get more inferences from the current information, why can't we take the initiative to find more information? I
I know that for some reasons, we cannot directly detect the star at close range. However, I have a very simple way to detect the unknown existence in that inference with at least 70% certainty.
Is it there or not?"
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. This scientist's speech opened up a new path.
"Very good, very good." Xiao Yu murmured to himself and ordered: "Go on."
"Thank you for your compliment, Master." The scientist first expressed respect to Xiao Yu in the way of his own race, and then continued: "As long as we pretend to leave here - just pretending is enough. If it really is
If there is an unknown existence that prevents the Merian Civilization from chasing us, then it will definitely notice our actions. After noticing that we are leaving, if it is malicious, it will definitely do something to prevent us from leaving.
In my reasoning, if it has complete mobility, it will directly stop it. If it is similar to the white dwarf sixth-level alien beast and is also restricted in mobility, it will also try to keep us here through lies.
Come down. In short, with this action of ours, we can not only test whether it exists, but also roughly infer whether it is benevolent or malicious."
"If it is malicious and has full power of action, the consequence of our doing this is just to die early and there is no loss. If it is malicious but does not have full power of action, we will be able to detect it in advance through this action.
Escape at a little bit. If... we don't receive any response to our leaving action, my suggestion is to continue to stay here. After all, compared with the threats in illusory inferences, the threat from the Merian civilization is the most serious.
The main thing is that if we stay here, at least we won’t be hunted down by the Merian Civilization in a short period of time. Including the decades of warp navigation, it has been more than a hundred years since we escaped from the Sky Blue Market. Since a hundred years of
Even the civilizations of Time Mo have not come after them, so there is a high chance that they will not come in the next hundred years."
The scientist's speech once again shocked the entire audience. All the conference rooms fell into silence. Even Xiao Yu was thinking quickly and carefully analyzing each of the scientist's inferences.
possible.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yu had to admit that what this scientist said made sense and was very feasible.
"So...does anyone have any objections?" Xiao Yu said and waited for ten seconds.
Within ten seconds, there was still silence.
"Very good... I have decided to follow this plan!" (To be continued.
