Chapter 327 Paper Crane
Under the gaze of many cameras, the top brass of the human fleet headed by Zhang Mingyang came to the memorial service with sad faces.
When they met, they didn't say anything, but bowed 110 degrees, which was 10 degrees more than the Hongyang people.
Then, Zhang Mingyang stepped forward in a spacesuit, full of sorrow and sorrow, and held the hand of the head of state Hongyang: "For this disaster, our human civilization, from top to bottom, from the head of state to the civilians, everyone They all mourned in their hearts.
Our head of state Liu Yuan personally instructed us that we must not shirk our responsibilities, we must shoulder them, and we must give a satisfactory answer to our friends in Hongyang.
Our head of state also personally recorded a condolence video, please watch it. "
Zhang Mingyang took out the projector and directly projected a picture.
In the picture, President Liu Yuan sat behind his desk with a sad face, and said solemnly: "I was shocked to hear that a major accident occurred in the Hongyang Civilization Planet Transformation Project. I am extremely sad.
Hongyang Civilization is an ancient civilization with a long history and a splendid culture. Since joining the Silver Alliance, the two civilizations have cooperated closely and communicated with each other in the fields of culture, business, science and technology, and are close friends.
…”
After finally finishing a long talk, the screen disappeared, and Zhang Mingyang said sadly again: "Hearing about this accident, hundreds of billions of people in our human civilization mourned at the same time and expressed deep condolences for the victims. For this reason, we Large-scale prayer activities have been carried out in the civilization to wish the deceased rest in peace and the living to work hard. "
Zhang Mingyang operated again, and the special effects picture that the human video special effects team spent a month producing was displayed in front of the cameras of Hongyang Civilization's senior officials and a group of media reporters.
Tens of thousands of people participated in Dharma gatherings, hundreds of thousands of people participated in prayers, hundreds of thousands of people participated in releasing paper boats, and millions of people cried in unison...
The picture is vast and sad, fully demonstrating the best wishes of human civilization.
All the Hongyang people looked at each other, feeling vaguely weird in their hearts.
This scene... seems very familiar.
“And, in order to truly express our grief and express our best wishes for the victims, our civilization also launched an origami crane prayer activity with tens of billions of people participating.
We folded hundreds of billions of paper cranes in total and rented a super-light space carrier to transport them to the Red Sun Galaxy, hoping to provide some comfort to the spirits of the victims in heaven..."
Zhang Mingyang's face was solemn and sincere.
At the beginning, your Hongyang civilization folded about 100,000 tons of paper birds for the victims of us humans. This time, we humans gave you ten times more, more than one million tons!
You just bought it locally, but we rented a space carrier to transport it here!
Paper birds have special meaning in your civilization, and paper cranes also have special meaning in our civilization!
Have you ever heard of driving to the west? It is to bless your victims to go to heaven!
You can light candles, and so can we! You have clergy, and so do we! We will also put candles on paper boats and float along the river. Isn’t it more advanced than you simply lighting a candle?
The atmosphere in the venue became increasingly weird.
Zhang Mingyang still looked serious: "Listen to my order... release the paper cranes!"
The many intra-atmospheric transport ships that had been prepared for a long time immediately opened the containers pulled from the previous heavy transport ships.
Immediately, countless paper cranes flew down one after another, covering almost hundreds of square kilometers of ground.
"ignite!"
A group of human workers and robots immediately ignited. In an instant, there was a sea of fire within hundreds of square kilometers. Billowing smoke immediately rose up.
“In the myths and legends of our civilization, ‘cloud gas’ is a substance with special meaning. Its smell can please the gods and escort the souls of the dead to safely enter the kingdom of heaven.
In order to express our deep condolences for the victims, when we made origami cranes, we added a large amount of this material that is very precious to our civilization and has special meaning, hoping to soothe the pain of the victims..."
The so-called cloud gas is a special compound. This substance does not have many uses and is not toxic to humans and Hongyang people.
But... it is colorless and odorless to humans, but it is different for Hongyang people!
Based on different body structures, although it is non-toxic to Hongyang people, it has a very special odor that makes Hongyang people unbearable! And very long lasting!
Looking at the millions of tons of burning paper cranes, Head Hongyang seemed to see the stench of clouds drifting in the wind, eventually covering millions of square kilometers and lingering for several years...
His face contorted.
But...he held back.
As long as humans are willing to make adequate compensation, we will tolerate these gadgets designed to disgust us.
While the people in Hongyang continued to wait, Zhang Mingyang led them to bow again, at the standard 110-degree angle, which he had obviously practiced in advance: "The above is all the compensation we have made for the victims. Our sincere wishes All victims can enter the Kingdom of Heaven as soon as possible..."
The venue was quiet for a moment, and the next moment, a huge noise sounded uncontrollably.
"Humans! You are really so rude! Do you want to fool me with just such a small thing!"
"Show your sincerity! Don't deceive us with these false things!"
"You humans must make adequate compensation! At least 300,000 silver coins!"
The people of Hongyang were excited. Zhang Mingyang's face seemed a little confused, a little surprised, and a little incomprehensible.
After a moment, he finally came to his senses, and then he became angry: "Is this the etiquette of you Hongyang people?! You are so rude!
Do you know that these wishes contain the sorrow of many people in our civilization?
Do you know what a huge price our people have paid for these activities?
Tens of billions of people! Tens of billions of kind-hearted people, full of grief and blessings for the victims, worked tirelessly to fold these paper cranes!
In your opinion, this is not enough?
You are so rude! You have to know that people who are greedy will not have high honor!
Your behavior is an insult to the wishes of our people!
You need to apologize to us! You are an insult to our civilized culture! You must apologize for this and apologize for this! "
Head Hongyang was in a trance at this moment.
These words... why do they feel so familiar?
He was furious: "We respect the different traditions of different civilizations. We believe that it is etiquette to compensate for our own mistakes with the most precious things of our own civilization.
When we faced your victims, we offered our most precious things, the emotions and grief of our civilized people, which was completely enough.
At this moment, could it be said that you humans also regard emotions and grief as the most precious things? Isn’t it silver coins that you humans value most?
You must bring out the most precious things of your civilization as compensation! Only in this way can you show your sincerity! "
Zhang Mingyang was almost angry at this moment. He turned his head and immediately said sincerely: "We humans are a civilization that is good at learning and absorbing the advantages of others.
Since the last incident, our human people have been inspired by the noble Hongyang civilization and have realized our past mistakes. We have realized that it is too vulgar to regard silver coins as the most precious thing.
Therefore, we have completely abandoned the past values and fully learned new values from the noble Hongyang people. Today, we have achieved the goal of treating emotion and grief as the most precious things of civilization.
These words are absolutely true. If you don’t believe it, you can send an inspection team to investigate.
Therefore, this time, in the face of the victims, our civilization has really provided the most precious thing.
Could it be that, in the eyes of the respected Head of State, these paper cranes, which entrust the grief, emotions and wishes of billions of people in our civilization, are not as important as a few silver coins? ! "
Head Hongyang roared angrily: "You are so messy! You are shirking your responsibilities! We will never accept this compensation plan!"
Zhang Mingyang was equally angry: "You are so rude! You hurt our civilized emotions! You need to apologize!"
"I'm going to the Yinmeng Commercial Arbitration Court to sue you!"
"How you deal with it is your right. Our civilization has made the maximum compensation, and we have a clear conscience!"
The memorial service broke up unhappy, and Zhang Mingyang led the top management of the human fleet directly back to the previous station.
Although we have almost no armed forces in our hands, after all, we came to the Hongyang Galaxy to do engineering work, not to fight. The Hongyang side is so excited that it can destroy itself by dispatching a fleet at will, but Zhang Mingyang still has no idea at all. Worry.
Because that means war. If a war is to be launched between civilizations, it will be a matter of war.
Without long-term fermentation and long-term escalation of conflicts to the point where they are ultimately irreconcilable and must be resolved through a war, how can a war between civilizations be so easy?
But of course because of this incident, the current project cannot be carried out for the time being. So the human fleet temporarily shrunk and waited for further developments.
Sure enough, as expected, Hongyang Civilization submitted a lawsuit directly to the Yinmeng Commercial Arbitration Court, demanding compensation from human civilization and suspension of cooperation between the two parties.
Different from the previous incident, where the total bid was only 1,000 silver coins, in this incident, the total bid was as high as more than 200,000 silver coins.
Obviously, this time the incident will be taken more seriously by the Yinmeng Commercial Arbitration Court. Accordingly, the judgment will be much faster. It will not be like the last time. The arbitration court didn't bother to pay attention to it. It really can't be delayed anymore. If it's delayed, a judge will be hastily summoned to deal with it.
At the same time, all evidentiary provisions are unfavorable to the human side. No matter where you look at it, losing a lawsuit is a high probability event for humans.
But Han Yang and the members of the Human Governing Council still did not panic at all.
Everything has been prepared. (End of chapter)
