"... a civilization 20 light-years away has run to our satellite and is carrying out colonial activities?"
When the Gliese in the conference room heard the news, CHISON was startled.
They deeply know how huge the astronomical figure of 20 light-years is and how much power it takes to cross!
It's incredible, even... Inexplicable! Because such colonial activities have no interest at all.
"We're just an ordinary star field, aren't we? Why did you choose here? "
"It may be because of the existence of liquid water... The living environment is similar to ours."
"But they can't overcome our microbial environment. What if there is liquid water on our planet?"
All the Gliese were very anxious.
"... in other words, the civilization called human has been sending electromagnetic waves to detect whether there is intelligent life here? If there is no response, they will come to interstellar colonization? "
However, with the idea that more is better than less, their original ancestors did not reply to anything
This has happened, there is no room for regret.
There was a long silence in the narrow room.
The astronomer continued: "please take it easy. According to the observation results these days, the other party's scientific and technological strength is not as advanced as we thought, but at a more subtle stage... In short, it is not strong."
"Their spaceship is about 300000 kilometers away from us, and there is only one. There is no artificial gravity, and there is no technology beyond our expectations. "
It turned out a photo just taken and showed it to the public, with a blurred image of the earth times.
"... yes, there is only one mothership. This Mothership is quite large and should carry a large population. I even suspect that in order to span such a long distance, the mother ship has no tonnage to carry any weapons. "
"If we use our most powerful interstellar missile and load some nuclear warheads, it should be possible to hit and destroy the other party's mother ship... In this way, the other party will lose the mother ship and soon become extinct here."
After being silent for a while, another Gliese shouted, "choose war, Davian, are you crazy? In our present state, it is impossible to bear a war! "
"In addition, where do nuclear warheads come from... According to the peace convention, we have already destroyed all these weapons... Even for tens of thousands of years!"
"Yes, we don't have such weapons..."
"There has been no war for a long time."
"We don't even have enough soldiers..."
Many Gliese are talking about the feasibility of this scheme. At present, the situation of the whole civilization is a little bad
"... even if we restart the nuclear bomb production line, with the industrial capacity of our city, we can only build an interstellar rocket within half a year at most. With a few nuclear warheads, even if it hits, it is not possible to completely destroy the other party's mother ship... It will only lead to an endless civilization war in vain!"
"Can we afford the consequences?"
After hesitating for a while, the astronomer named Davian seemed a little unwilling and said, "if..."
"If what?"
"... human civilization is developing our satellite. With the passage of time, its industrial capacity will become more and more powerful. If you want to launch an attack, you must do it as soon as possible instead of procrastinating here... Otherwise, such an opportunity will slip away in the blink of an eye. "
The leader was silent for a while. "Is it possible for them to leave?"
"The probability is very low... They came here through a long interstellar voyage. The fuel rate in the spacecraft has probably run out, and it is impossible to carry out the next interstellar voyage. Getting them out of here is no different from letting them die... "
Another pangolin said angrily, "why is this? Is it... The population is too large to accommodate a planetary system... If so, it is likely to be a colonial civilization with unlimited outward expansion! "
I think that the same planetary system contains two different intellectual civilizations, while the other is booming, and there is a tendency of colonial expansion; Our own side is weak, the people have no fighting spirit, and every Gliese here has a faint sense of panic.
"Don't be nervous. Maybe it's a friendly civilization! They sent a large number of electromagnetic signals in advance, which should be the meaning of inquiry. Because we didn't reply, we mistakenly thought it was a place without owner... It shows that this civilization belongs to basic thinking logic and etiquette culture. "
"Maybe we can try to communicate!"
"We can cooperate friendly... No one likes war!"
The whole room was noisy, and all kinds of differences were great.
"Enough!" The leader roared heavily, restrained all the voices, and then it returned to normal, "this is not a risk that our city can bear. Do other cities really have no response to this?"
"They... Have no opinion."
"What does it mean to have no opinion?"
"It doesn't matter how long you can hide. At most, you can produce some weapons that can protect yourself. It's impossible to launch an attack... You know, what the outside city looks like. It's impossible to bear a war between civilizations."
These high-level officials discussed for a while and decided to produce some weapons that could protect themselves, but they did not want to take the lead in launching an attack.
"Hey, with a certain strength, let's have peace talks... If we can get along safely, it's better."
When a scholar heard this surrender speech, he jumped up angrily, "what, peace talks? This is the home of the Gliese! Do you think all civilizations are friendly civilizations? "
"We have no interest disputes... Why war?"
Another person also said, "yes, we just hide underground... What does it have to do with us whether each other's civilization is good or bad? As long as we develop enough weapons to protect ourselves, what's the point of the other party attacking us? "
"As long as we have the ability to attack each other and threaten each other, this peace can continue."
To the anger of some Gliese, there are not only one such dove speech, but also many! Even those who agree to peace negotiations occupy the vast majority of the whole civilization, including their supreme leaders!
They are a fairly good city and can seriously discuss countermeasures here.
The rest of the cities... Are still in a state of drunken dreams and death, and have no determination to start a war at all.
At this point, it can't help being sad
This is a civilization that has completely fallen... It can't be saved. I can't think of a good way to save it.
Almost all people are indifferent to what is happening in the outside world, so they hide in underground cities. Even if they encounter the threat of death, they still have an indifferent attitude... Unless the sharp knife really cuts the skin, it is possible to jump up and resist, that is, resist for a second or two and lie on the ground obediently.
It's just... Unreasonable!
"War! We need a war to save the whole civilization and cheer everyone up! " The scholar thought to himself, "if you fail, let's... Die together!"
Several other Gliese who had the same idea also looked at each other carefully, as if they had made up their mind.
What human civilization does not know is that because of the emergence of mankind, there have been various differences within a civilization on the opposite life planet, and even a political riot has occurred quietly!
Crisis, coming!
