Chapter 237
Zhang Yuan and Zhao Qingfeng looked at each other in blank dismay, carefully pondering the unique physiological phenomena brought about by the different environments.
Oxygen is a necessity for human beings. The large amount of energy brought by aerobic respiration nourishes every cell in the human body. Without oxygen, humans will suffocate and die in a short time.
But in the eyes of many biological experts, oxygen is also a chronic poison!
A harmful substance called "oxygen free radicals" produced by human respiration can cause damage to the biofilm system and disorders of oxidative phosphorylation in cells. It is a direct participant in human disease, aging and death. It is very harmful to human health and longevity.
However, the Gliese’s circulation system does not require the participation of oxygen, so naturally they will live longer.
Then this group of biologists became fanatical and began a A lot of ignorant speeches, what is the conversion of ATP, CP, and ADP in the "energy nucleus"... Ichiro Yamamoto began to take the opportunity to call for artificial blood and artificial respiratory systems to replace the current aerobic respiratory system, "the most intuitive The advantage is that it can delay the speed of cell aging and achieve a higher lifespan"!
Anyway, Zhang Yuan understands that because of the lack of energy caused by anaerobic respiration, these Gliese people must sleep for a long time.
Captain Zhao sitting around sighed: "So, not only the typhoon, but also the dormancy method evolved from primordial, which makes them prefer a small and well-connected environment. At least. It consumes less physical strength... and is safe and reliable. Don't worry about burying yourself alive in a cave-in!"
Then there is no other way. These high-level human beings can only wait patiently and wait.
About 12 days later, the group of Gliese people finally regained their sobriety. The leader Gan Yaduo said: "Thank you for the generous human civilization. I slept very comfortably. Please forgive us. I know that some civilizations do not sleep. I don’t know how your work and rest are?"
Of course human beings don’t care about this little thing...
this time The diplomatic issues of arrive slowly are quite grand. First, the group of Gliese people led by a few civilized diplomats visited some areas of Earth Era, including the industrial area, agricultural area and part of the living area.
Of course it's just a part.
This actually has a faint deterrent meaning. You have to let the other party know something, but you can't let the other party know too much. This kind of half-knowledge and fuzzy state is the most beneficial to human beings.
Next, these Gliese diplomats sat in the same Conference Hall with high-level humans and began face-to-face negotiations.
The leader named Gan Yaduo first asked: "First of all, I want to know the specific history of your civilization."
"Why do you think that from a distant place, more than 20 years Where does the solar system light years away come to our galaxy? From an economic point of view, there is nothing to be expected... We also don’t have any special material resources here. Could it be that the population exploded and the entire galaxy could no longer be inhabited? "
This question is very important and involves human ideology.
After some consideration, Captain Zhao gave a reply: "Our home galaxy did not explode in population, but was in a stable state where population growth stopped."
"The purpose of coming here is not to colonize and conquer, but mainly to explore and discover."
"The great man of our civilization believes that after a civilization develops to a certain level, it will spontaneously stagnate. In order to avoid the recession caused by this stagnation, it is necessary to isolate the space and time, and to learn from the past development process, in order to embark on a new path..."
Captain Zhao briefly introduced the whole The development ideas of civilization, including the journey of human exploration abroad, in fact, very early on, humans have launched probes into outer space, such as the famous "Voyager 1", "Voyager 2" and so on. These have very clear written records.
Of course, there is no need to say too much about the core of the new civilization historiography.
Whether the other party believes these contents is not within the scope of human consideration. This thing of diplomacy is half true half false. There is no need to tell the truth, but there is no need to tell lies.
After listening to this, the other party was stunned for a while, not knowing why, after listening to the entire interstellar tour, he was shocked, and even started to talk quietly in the slang of his hometown.
After a few seconds, the other party reacted and praised this thinking: "so that's how it is, it's no wonder that you built such a huge spaceship, leaving your home planet... it's really unimaginable. Engineering! May I ask, how long did it take you to build this huge spaceship?"
"About a hundred years or so."
If you count the previous period Preparation, it really took so much time. Of course, this is also the Earth civilization three thousand years ago. People don’t know how the current Earth civilization is, whether it can still create such a spaceship.
This group of Gliese people are once again surprised speechless. For them, in just 100 years, they may still be in the growth and development stage...
At this time, Zhang Yuan solemnly asked: "Dear Lord Gan Yaduo, your civilization fired several nuclear bombs on us at first. Although there were not too many casualties, it should be counted as an attack. I think you need to Explain this attack."
The famous leader said neither humble nor arrogant: "This sir, I want to remind you that this is our territory in itself. We don’t understand your ideology, nor I don’t know, whether you came to this planetary system with good intentions or malice."
"...If it’s you, will you watch the other side become stronger?"
Zhang Yuan was speechless. If he stood in the other side's position, this statement made sense.
Immediately afterwards, he said: "Then, we have launched a large number of electromagnetic waves into this galaxy in advance...Why doesn't your civilization respond? We just treat this as a land of no owner. "
"Even if there is any reply, we are also impossible to go to this planetary system. There are so many planets in the universe, and there is enough room for choice."
The people were silent, and they gathered together to discuss in a low voice, feeling that this question was not a good answer. The other party has already spent three thousand years flying here, so there is no point in arguing here.
The Gliese man said again: "But don’t worry, General Davian, who pressed the nuclear button without authorization, failed his rebellion plan and committed suicide. Most of our civilized population, overall In other words, you still yearn for peace... if you have no intention of attacking and large-scale colonization."
"But we only allow you to choose a planet as your foothold, and no more colonization is allowed. planet. This is our bottom line."
This time, the human side was silent for a while. This concern of the other party is not unreasonable. If humans colonize all the remaining planets after a few hundred years, the strength of the two parties will change in Heaven and Earth turning upside down...
But then again, Even if he promises to colonize only one, and then regrets it later, what can the other party do?
Zhang Yuan didn’t want to keep wrangling in this regard, and changed the topic: "Your Excellency Gan Yaduo, can you introduce your civilization? The 200,000-year history of civilization really has a long history. As far as civilization is concerned, it has only been a trifling of 10,000 years since there are written records."
This 10,000 years even includes three thousand years of starry sky journey.
Gan Yaduo pondered for a while, and said: "This is natural, the exchange of history is also the focus of our contact...We are a civilization advocating art and mathematics..."
"...We are even more shocked that you can reach the current level within ten thousand years of trifling. This is quite an amazing achievement!"
