Wang Junpeng nodded: "yes, it's a deterrent. And the other party is probably telling the truth. That's the most terrible thing... "
"The badit civilization is probably just an ordinary interstellar civilization in the galaxy, which is far stronger than us... So what are we? Ants? "
Zhang Yuan did not agree with him too much. "There is no need to belittle ourselves. There are many great civilizations in the universe, but it certainly does not include the badit civilization. You have to think, how many years have they developed? How many years have we developed? "
"Moreover, there are always areas in the universe that can be explored, which is its charm. If humans like us, with so many defects, can dominate, then the universe itself is a little boring. "
Just as they were chatting vigorously, the judge knocked on the mallet and calmed down all the discussions again. He continued to ask, "the specific situation of your civilization, including the political structure in the form of humanities."
"We are an old merchant civilization. We have entered the threshold of three-level civilization and have trade relations with 13 large and small interstellar civilizations."
The speaker was Prince Bart, the highest ranking prince. He raised his head and briefly introduced his civilization.
"... our civilization is conducting the once-in-a-million-year throne selection competition. Who can gain the greatest benefits in foreign interstellar trade and who can become the supreme ruler of the whole civilization! Human civilization, I wonder if we have the possibility of win-win cooperation? According to my observation, you should be a very young civilization with strong foreign trade demand... You know little about the situation of the whole galaxy. "
"Why don't we unite? The commercial fleet I represent is just a small branch of my civilization. Yes, there are more than a dozen more powerful fleets than me! Our civilization may be far more powerful than you think... "
"Our long-term foreign exchange has enabled us to have a large number of branch technologies. There is always one that is very suitable for you."
"By the way, if you can help me and crown me king, I swear I will give you the greatest benefit... Our civilization is very trustworthy in public. Please believe me! "
The discussion in the court is getting louder and louder. There is a lot of abuse on the Internet. Many people really can't stand this guy's cheekiness.
In this case, he still wants to unite. Doesn't he have a brain?
"Pa!" The judge struck the mallet heavily, "that is, you choose the supreme ruler through commercial trade? So, in this trade voyage, you who got nothing, want to rob our fleet. This is your criminal motive? "
Zhang Yuan fell into thinking. In fact, this guy is deliberately cheeky here. He just said it casually in the desperate situation, and didn't expect much.
Frankly speaking, this kind of cheekiness is actually a kind of strength!
"Yes, I'm sorry, Tong... You know, if a crown prince like me doesn't have enough strength, he will be cleaned after the competition. I have to strengthen my strength! But now I also know that I can't go back. Human civilization must give me a chance to work... We have a lot of knowledge you don't have. "
"... the development of interstellar literature has reached the three-level stage, and a huge number of scientific and technological systems have been formed. It is also an indisputable fact that it is difficult to push forward by relying solely on the wisdom of a single civilization."
"But once a civilization stops making progress, it will cause a series of disastrous consequences. Why? The reason for this idea is very simple. According to our philosophers, our civilization is like an individual's body, which is not invariable and changing dynamically all the time. "
"At the moment when the body has reached its peak, aging will inevitably occur, so will the individual and civilization... So all our members are avoiding the situation of standing still, because it will lead to recession, which is also proved by countless samples of civilizations on other planets."
"These guys really don't have a high moral heart, or their morality is different from ours, but they still have some experience." A vice captain sat on Zhang Yuan's side and said with a sneer, "after all, it is a three-level interstellar civilization. No matter what, there are a large number of amazing and gorgeous talents inside. Only in this way can civilization be promoted to this extent... Even a few words are a harvest for the knowledge system of this civilization."
Another juror also nodded: "yes, so no matter how angry and resentful they are, they still have to live. After all, this is a stronger civilization than ours, and there are many places worth learning. "
The vice captain said: "the most important thing is the authenticity of some information... If they lie about the key information that only a few people know, it may have disastrous consequences for us. We have to guard against it. "
Zhang Yuan interrupted: "don't worry too much about this... I plan to use virtual world technology to realize this problem, and send them all into the virtual world. In that world, it is easier to distinguish lies."
Scientists are already preparing the corresponding virtual world settings. A new intelligent life needs a new living environment. The whole setting work may take two months.
"I don't know whether this intelligent life can directly read the memory when uploaded to the virtual space... If so... Alas, it should be very, very difficult. We even have great difficulty in deciphering the memory of mice. "
Zhang Yuan thought again, "Oh, yes! At present, the most important thing is to appease the people and repair the Kunlun Mountain... In this regard, I have to bother to arrange people for three shifts. "
"We should leave this area as soon as possible. Who knows if these badit people still have spaceships nearby. Even if they are a day late, it is a day more risk... "
The leader nodded and sighed.
The trial continues
In this way, after explaining some basic information, Prince Bart honestly admitted his crime, but there were not many twists and turns in the middle.
The court still sentenced these aliens to a "suspended death sentence" for five years on the charge of "crimes against human peace".
However, this reprieve is somewhat different from the reprieve of human law. If these aliens do not perform major meritorious deeds in five years, they will be sentenced to death.
After hearing the judgment, although many people are still dissatisfied with it, they can only accept it with their nose.
Zhang Yuan also shook his head gently. After all, human beings are forgetful creatures. Five years later, people won't have such a big resentment about what these aliens are like. The court also studied the importance of these prisoners to human civilization in advance and knew that the direct imposition of the death penalty was a great loss to mankind.
The Scientific Council even passed a law on aliens after emergency research in recent days, and then sentenced "death with a reprieve" according to the law, which can be said to be a tacit understanding between them.
