Chapter 164 Contact

"There's definitely something wrong with this!"

There was fierce controversy in the conference room, and a think tank member in a suit frowned and said: "The Alskalisan claimed that they were forced to use the star gate to send a distress signal due to long-term water shortage and the gradual death of their group members.

But judging from the information we have on hand, the door holders on earth are all high-level transcendent beings who have participated in the battle for the door.

Every time they open the door and use the door to deliver supplies, they consume their own energy.

In other words, those who can use the door are at least mid- to high-level players.

The Alskalisans claimed that they discovered and activated the star gate in a secret laboratory of an ancient civilization.

This gives rise to two possibilities.

One, a transcendent person among the Alskalisan people, bound the star gate and used it.

In this possibility,

That extraordinary person must be able to bear the cost of opening and maintaining the star gate, which means that his strength is very impressive.

Such a transcendent person can definitely buy props and materials in the mall to help the tribe survive.

It obviously does not match the description given by the Alskalisan people in their request for help letter.

Second, there are differences between star gates and door leaves.

Maybe there is no need for a clear transcendent to pay for the toll, or there may be energy devices left over from ancient civilizations in the laboratory that maintains the star gate.

However, this theory also obviously lacks relevant evidence.

I find the Alskalisan claims to be highly questionable. "

"I agree with Academician Qian's idea."

Another think tank member nodded and said: "During the first exchange, the other party delivered a piece of pure water.

The GRU comrades dropped pebbles, unmanned reconnaissance drones, and living familiars into the star gate.

However, what is thrown in is like a mud cow thrown into the sea, and there is no response at all.

In other words, everything that was thrown into the past was captured, captured, and contained by the Alskalisans.

This is enough to prove that the Alskalisan people are very clear about the basic principle of preliminary negotiations between two unknown civilizations, which is to protect their own information.

However, a few hours later, they delivered another dictionary expressing their willingness to negotiate.

Aren’t they afraid of us on the other side of the Star Gate and harboring ill intentions toward them?

Why did you let down your guard so easily?

You must know that the items delivered by the GRU comrades also strictly abided by the unknown civilization negotiation regulations issued by the Global Occult Alliance to the officials of various countries.

To the greatest extent, it can protect human civilization information from being leaked.

How do they know that the people on Earth are friendly and willing to help them?

In the first few hours, I was extremely careful not to expose any information.

Why are they exposing their own shortcomings now and telling them directly that there are less than 10,000 people left on their planet and that civilization has been eradicated?

This is obviously inconsistent with common sense. "

In the conference room, everyone fell into deep thought.

If the Alskalisan people are really in dire straits and their race is about to perish, it is indeed possible to give up their guard and ask for help from the earth.

But the problem is, it's too fast.

According to the think tank’s previous conjectures, the negotiations between two unknown civilizations must be full of endless temptations, doubts, and suspicions.

Even if the Alskalisan people are extremely short of water and are in danger,

It took hundreds of years to survive, and it took only a few days to slowly negotiate with the earth.

There was discussion after discussion in the conference room. After the stone distress letter was sent, there was no movement from the Star Gate, and the Earth did not deliver anything inside.

"...If it's just a question of housing five thousand aliens, we can definitely help them solve it.

We can first send them a stone letter telling them our thoughts and concerns,

After replying, deliver a small amount of pure water to the star gate to meet the opponent's survival needs..."

In the conference room, Balalaika, a representative of the GRU department, discussed with representatives of the other two parties in a hoarse voice.

Han Shuishi noticed Li Ang who was listening to their discussion with great interest. He turned around and said politely: "Mr. Li, do you have any opinions?"

"I?"

Li Ang waved his hand casually and said, "This has nothing to do with me.

However, don’t you still have to enter the Star Gate in person in the end anyway?

If the Alskalisan people are really as desperate as the letter said, with no way out,

Then while the earth completes the rescue of the remaining Alskalisan people, it can also occupy their entire planet.

The ancient civilization relics and legacy technologies there can all be re-excavated and reverse-engineered.

And there is no need to pay the purchase fee to Killing Field Games at all.

With such a huge wealth, the GRU, Global Occult Alliance and Special Affairs Bureau will not give up and will definitely invest their efforts in mining it.

Now that the results have been determined, discussion seems a bit redundant. "

"..."

Han Shuishi, Balalaika and the others looked at each other and continued to ask: "What if the Alskalisans lied?"

"There are two reasons for lying, profit and fear."

Li Ang said casually: "I can't imagine the reasonable reason for the other party's fear.

But one thing is certain, as long as the venue for negotiation between the two parties is set in the other party's world, potential losses can be minimized. "

"You mean, go directly to the other party's planet to negotiate?"

Han Shuishi groaned and turned to look at Balalaika.

The latter lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "Then let's implement the new plan.

The technical department went to make a new slate letter and told them that we will send people through the star gate and bring enough clean water and information recording devices.

Negotiate more detailed and specific aspects of their world. "

"Send humans there?"

Someone at the decision-making level wondered: “Isn’t this too risky?

Different from script missions, the script world is screened by the Killing Fields game, and there are few dangerous elements after being teleported there.

But Stargate is a completely different concept.

Behind the star gate, there may be deadly viruses, bacteria, parasites, and even memetic infections. "

"It's not really about living, but using this."

Balalaika took out a small iron box containing chewing gum from his pocket.

[Name: Able to work hard chewing gum]

[Type: consumables]

[Quality: perfect]

[Special Effect: After chewing gum, the user can blow on the gum to create a stand-in with blurry details. The avatar does not have autonomous consciousness and is remotely controlled by the user, and will transmit perceptions to the user. The avatar consumes 15% of the user's energy, has 10% of the user's attack power, and withstands 320% of the damage. The user can remotely command the avatar to self-destruct. The avatar can last for up to 1 hour and will be destroyed after receiving excessive damage]

[Conditions of use: None]

[Note: A user can have multiple gum avatars, but multiple avatars existing at the same time may confuse the user's thinking]

[Note: The Gum Stand can talk and communicate, but cannot use equipment, props, or skills]

[Note: In the future, some companies will take the initiative to purchase this chewing gum and distribute it to employees. Improve the work efficiency of each employee without paying more labor wages. As for whether those who can do more and work harder will cause employees to suffer from split personality? This is not within the scope of the company’s consideration]

Balalaika shook the small iron box of chewing gum covered with green plastic wrap and said, "The stand-in created by this prop is a simple chewing gum dummy.

The user can feel the feeling of the avatar, but the trauma, pain, brainwashing, control effects, memetic infection, etc. suffered by the avatar will not be transmitted to the user and are absolutely harmless.

We can let some extraordinary people use chewing gum substitutes,

The Super One himself remains where he is,

The chewing gum stand-ins took the water source into the star gate and negotiated with the alien civilization there.

Even if the negotiation breaks down, the extraordinary person will not be harmed.

On the contrary, it can clarify the specific intentions of the Alskalisan people. "

Um?

Li Ang glanced at the small iron box with a little surprise. The prop in Balalaika's hand was very similar to the [Stand-in Demon Doll] prop that Li Ang had seen at the epidemic doctor when he first debuted.

However, in terms of special effects, the perfect-quality [Substitute Golem] of perfect quality undoubtedly outperforms the rare-quality [Stand-in Golem].

With this prop, it can indeed protect the personal safety of the messenger to the greatest extent, as well as the information security of human civilization.

As the host, Balalaika made the decision, and the others said nothing more.

Each department performed its duties and quickly made all preparations according to Balalaika's instructions.

A stone letter was delivered to the Star Gate, informing the Alskalisan people that the Earth would send a mission to request the other party to receive them.

The Alskalisan people, after a few minutes of silence, delivered a stone letter expressing their agreement.

After finalizing all this, the tripartite organizations selected a team of twenty emissaries.

Among them are Balalaika, Han Shuishi, Bai Haozheng,

Li Ang was also invited to participate - the reason was that Li Ang was well-informed and could help with negotiations.

Of course, the underlying reason is that Li Ang also owns a door, and his understanding of doors is much deeper than ordinary people.

"Cold mint flavor, containing xylitol."

Li Ang chewed the cube-shaped chewing gum casually, and like everyone else present, blew up a huge round balloon.

The balloon quickly shriveled and solidified in the air,

Gradually form the body contours of their respective users.

Since [The Chewing Gum of the Able and the Harder] has been certified by the Killing Fields game system, there is no need to worry about gum substitutes becoming self-aware, doubting themselves, or doubting the meaning of life.

After getting everything ready,

Groups of emissaries, bringing tons of water in metal drums,

Under the spotlight, he stepped into the Star Gate.

——————

When he opened his eyes again, everyone was already standing on a platform.

This looks like the central area of ​​a laboratory that has been abandoned for a long time.

Broken stones can be seen everywhere, as well as dusty scientific research instruments with unknown functions.

There are purple weeds everywhere in the cracks in the floor,

The dome of the laboratory was cracked, and a dark red light shone down from the gap in the dome, covering everyone.

Li Ang looked back and saw that the star gate was located in the center of the circular platform of the laboratory.

There are dusty cables extending around the platform that lead to no one knows where.

The star gate body is still shining with red and black swirling light.

"They're coming."

Bai Haozheng's suppressed voice sounded next to him. Li Ang turned his head and saw a pair of eyes lighting up in the seemingly dark corner of the laboratory.

A group of lurking Alskalisans emerged from the darkness.

As described in dictionaries and letters, this group of alien species that grew up under the light of red dwarf stars has a body structure similar to humans.

The head, torso, limbs, and facial features are all very similar.

Only the skin is whiter, and there is no hair - probably because the sunlight is weak, there is no need for hair, and it is not easy to produce melanin.

The Alskalisans who appeared in the laboratory should be the expedition team of their tribe.

Everyone was wearing leather clothes, holding blades, spears, and simple crossbows made of iron pipes in their hands, quite in the style of a doomsday wanderer.

However, there are also some people who hold near-future weapons that are old and dilapidated, but have similar or even slightly superior technology levels to Earth.

Friendly negotiation with aliens is not Li Ang’s specialty.

He and Bai Haozheng were silent, watching the language and anthropology experts in the envoy team come out of the team and carve words on the stone slabs they brought - this linguist is a transcendent of the Global Supernatural Alliance, and has just cracked and Mastered the Alskalisan language,

Although I don’t know how to pronounce it yet, I can communicate through words.

The group of Alskalisans on the opposite side also sent a representative who looked to be the oldest. The two sides carved letters and passed messages to each other.

"The world of the script is not an alien planet, so strictly speaking, this should be the first time that humans on earth have established diplomatic relations with a clear extraterrestrial civilization."

Li Ang said in a relaxed tone: "Are we the first Earth delegation to conduct the third type of contact?

In the past, human heroes could be broadcast on global television for a month without replacement. "

In order to avoid information leakage,

The Earth delegation communicates with each other in another extremely rare language - the Old Norse language of the indigenous Chamiculo tribe of South America.

"No, according to the new blue book plan formulated by the Global Occult Alliance, we should now be considered a fifth type of contact."

Bai Haozheng said softly: "That is, more advanced human civilizations use friendly messages to directly contact alien civilizations.

Although this is nothing to be happy about,

These Alskalisans... are indeed relatively backward. "

The alien humans in front of us look like primitive tribes on Earth who are still living a life of hunting and gathering.

However, Li Ang can still find some clues from the details.

Like humans, their age can be reflected by their appearance.

Most of this group of people are in their prime, with a small number of young people and old people.

This shows that the age structure of their group is relatively healthy, and middle-aged people with rich experience in wild exploration have a higher probability of survival.

At the same time, the hunting weapons they hold in their hands prove that they will look for edible fleshy animals in the ruins of the city.

Those near-future weapons show that these aliens still retain part of the ability to repair and care for ancient technology. They cannot really be treated as ignorant primitive tribes.

Li Ang watched the negotiations between the two teams with cold eyes, and gradually pieced together a panoramic view of alien civilization, or alien groups, in his mind.
