Wang Junpeng nodded: "yes, it's a deterrent. And they're probably telling the truth. This is 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 didn't agree with him too much. "There's no need to belittle yourself. There are many great civilizations in the universe, but they certainly don't include badit civilization. How many years have they developed? How many years have we developed? "

"What's more, there are always areas in the universe that can be explored. That's what's fascinating about it. If humans like us and creatures with so many defects can dominate, then the universe itself is a bit boring

Just as they were chatting vigorously, the judge knocked on the mallet and calmed down all the discussion again. He continued to ask, "the specific situation of your civilization, including the political structure and the humanistic form."

"We are an old merchant civilization, and have entered the threshold of three-level civilization. We have trade relations with 13 large and small interstellar civilizations."

The speaker was Prince Bart, who was the most important. He raised his head and gave a brief introduction to his own civilization.

“…… Our civilization is undergoing a once-in-a-million-year competition for the throne. Who can get the most benefits from the foreign trade and become the supreme ruler of the whole civilization! Human civilization, I wonder, is it possible for us to win-win cooperation? According to my observation, you should be a very young civilization with strong demand for foreign trade You know very little about the state of the galaxy as a whole

"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... "

"Long term foreign exchange has given us a large number of branches of science and technology, and one of them is very suitable for you."

"By the way, if you can help me to be crowned king, I swear I will do you the best Our civilization is very trustworthy in public. Please believe me

The discussion in the court is getting louder and louder, and there are so many curses on the Internet that many people can't stand this guy's thick skin.

In this case, if you want to unite, doesn't he have a long brain?

"Pa!" The judge struck a heavy hammer. "That is to say, you choose the supreme ruler through commerce and trade? So, in this trade voyage, you, who have gained nothing, want to rob our fleet. Is that your criminal motive? "

But Zhang Yuan fell into thinking, this guy is actually deliberately cheeky here. He just said it casually in the desperate situation, without much expectation.

Frankly speaking, this kind of cheekiness is actually a kind of strength!

"Yes, I'm sorry You know, if you don't have enough strength, the crown prince like me will be cleaned after the competition. I have no choice but to enhance my strength! But now I know that I can't go back. Human civilization must give me a chance to serve We have a lot of knowledge that you don't have, "

" It is also an indisputable fact that at the third stage of development, a huge scientific and technological system has been formed, and it is difficult to push forward with 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 just like an individual body, which is not immutable and constantly changing. "

"When the body reaches its peak, it will inevitably grow old. This is true of individuals, and so is civilization So all of us are avoiding the situation of standing still, because it will lead to recession, and countless samples of other planetary civilizations have also proved this. "

"These guys really don't have a high morality, or their morality is different from ours, but they have some insight." A deputy captain sat beside Zhang Yuan and said with a sneer, "after all, it's a three-level interstellar civilization. No matter what, there are a lot of amazing talents inside. Only in this way can we advance civilization to such a level The knowledge system of this civilization, even a few words, is also a kind of harvest. "

Another juror also nodded: "yes, so no matter how angry or resentful they are, they still have to be saved. After all, this is a more powerful civilization than ours, and there are many things to learn. "

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'm going to use virtual world technology to solve this problem, and send them all into the virtual world. In that world, it's 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 if this kind of intelligent life, uploaded to the virtual space, can directly read the memory If you can Well, it should be very, very difficult. It's very difficult for us to decipher the memory of mice. "

Zhang Yuan said, "Oh, yes! The most important thing at present is to pacify the people and restore the Kunlun mountain In this respect, we have to arrange the manpower for three shifts. "

"We should leave this space as soon as possible. Who knows if these badit people still have spaceships nearby. Even if they are one day late, there is a risk of one more day... "

The leader nodded and sighed.

The trial continues

In this way, after giving some basic information, Prince Bart honestly admitted his crime, but there were not many twists and turns.

The court, on the charge of "crimes against human peace", sentenced these aliens to "death with a reprieve" and suspended their sentences for five years.

However, this reprieve is somewhat different from the reprieve of human law. If these aliens do not make significant contributions in five years, they will be sentenced to death.

After hearing about the verdict, although many people are still dissatisfied with it, they can only accept it by holding their noses.

Zhang Yuan also shook his head slightly. After all, human beings are forgetful creatures. Five years later, how about these aliens? People will not have such a big resentment. The court also studied the importance of these prisoners to human civilization in advance and knew that the direct imposition of death penalty was a great loss to mankind.

Even after the urgent research in recent days, the Council of science passed a law on aliens, and then sentenced the death penalty with a reprieve according to the law. This can be said to be a tacit understanding between each other.
