Under the intense action arrangement, the "Star Sea Plan" led by the Cecil Empire is being promoted as scheduled. New research facilities and technical teams are taking place one after another. In the existing monitoring department, the Star Slayers have become the pillars of the new team. Anta Vien, located in the distant sea, sent news that the antenna system is ready. Linguists, logicians, and negotiators from the three empires of Cecil, Tifeng, and Silver have formulated a series of "plans" for establishing first exchanges with alien civilizations during intense discussions over the days and nights.

In order to establish communication with an alien civilization that is very different from the Loren continent, which is unknown, and to strive to achieve mutual understanding as soon as possible in the early stages of communication and reduce the chance of friction due to misunderstandings, these top experts in their respective fields have taken into account all the details they can consider, but even so, the several sets of proposals they submitted were still rejected early on.

They basically show too much content involving the technical field, or are too complex in the display of culture and values. The initial text was cumbersome and bloated. Scholars seemed to have made the wrong direction at the beginning. They tried to express everything clearly in the first communication with sufficiently perfect and complex language logic, and also took into account the elegance and decentness of diplomatic rhetoric, and at the same time, they should reflect the comprehensive etiquette as a "civilized society".

The most obvious problem begins with the following: the sender of the letter to the other side of the Star Sea, the friendly people in the dark starry sky, we are civilized and civilized people living in the "Loren" world. With a rational and kind attitude, with the glory of the kings, saints, spirits and the name of our ancestors, we are willing to respond to your friendly greetings and establish a sincere, mutually helpful and peaceful relationship. We advocate...

This copy was 93 pages long. Before Gao Wen finished reading it, he criticized the "I have read it, it's not understandable" and then called it back. It was not entirely because the copy was too tedious and easy to cause confusion and misunderstandings among alien civilizations during translation. The more important reason was that he suspected that the Siren's communication array, which was in a state of surviving, would not be able to resist sending this thing...

But after these immature plans were rejected several times, some reliable things were finally sent to Gao Wen. The scholars were not stupid. They just misunderstood the direction of thinking about the problem at the beginning, and after straightening the ideas, the situation improved.

Some concise and not easy to cause ambiguity, some greetings and simple inquiries representing communication intentions, and repeatedly analyzing the limited text sent by the "alien civilization", experts in various fields strive to outline the sender's thinking and communication habits. They find that there are very few contents that they can analyze from that little thing, so the things they can "play" in their first communication are naturally very limited.

Gao Wen lowered his head and carefully reviewed the documents sent by Amber to him. His fingers unconsciously tapped the desktop from time to time. While thinking and deliberating, he whispered softly as if he was talking to himself: "This kind of thing seems much more reliable..."

"The Siren recommends that we send a single time not more than one minute, and that we should not send a single text for more than one thousand characters," Amber said next to us. "Their communication array can last longer with such a small-scale and low-density transmission."

"So we cannot directly transmit a big self-introduction. The best communication mode in the past was to have a 'dialogue' with the 'opposite'," Gao Wen said slowly. "But it depends on the 'opposite' communication method. But no matter what, the copywriting in our hands has taken into account all possible situations. Unless the difference between the 'opposite' and our thinking style is so different that it is completely incomprehensible to each other, there should be no fatal misunderstanding."

Amber looked at the pages of paper in Gaowen's hand and couldn't help but rub his forehead: "I think about this thing... It's short enough to reduce the antenna pressure as much as possible, it's concise enough to facilitate translation and understanding, and it's clear enough to avoid misunderstandings as much as possible... It's really difficult to deal with a 'alien civilization'. In comparison, it seems much simpler to deal with Ansu nobles back then..."

Listening to the other party's muttering, Gao Wen just smiled but didn't say anything. Amber turned his eyes and said, "Do you think about what to say the 'first sentence'? The experts have discussed it for so long, but in the end there is still no conclusion. Now it seems that you have to finalize it."

"What's the first sentence..." Gao Wen said softly, his eyes falling on the pages of the files in his hand again.

These documents have finalized most of the texts for the first time of exchange with the alien civilization, but the most critical "first sentence" is still vacant. Rosetta Augustus believes that in the initial response to the alien civilization, anything should be avoided as much as possible, and even the "harmless content" discussed in the text of the first time should be placed after the establishment of a formal communication, and Silver Queen Belsetia Morningstar also supported this.

In short, for the communication sent by the alien civilization, the alliance should initially make only a "one-sentence response" and use the shortest way to indicate that the party has received the communication. Apart from that, do not say anything extra and see what the other person will say after receiving this sentence, so as to further determine whether to continue the communication later.

This is extreme caution, but it cannot show too much in the "first sentence", because it will make you feel guilty, but this sentence cannot have any sharp intentions.

"Those two have completely left this matter to you," Amber curled his lips, "and it's better for us to make a decision as soon as possible. Just as you were thinking, the Ancestor Peak Monitoring Station and the Solin Monitoring Station were still receiving communications from the universe. The civilization on the opposite side seemed to have increased the transmission intensity toward this side after adjusting the signal mode. Now the two main monitoring stations are constantly receiving the opposite side for 24 hours... How do you say that word? Oh, the 'connecting request' from the opposite side... "

"Are you still sending it? It seems they are really anxious..." Gao Wen frowned, but his eyes never left the documents in front of him, but suddenly, he knew what to do about this matter.

He picked up the pen next to him and wrote a string of letters at the end of the document, confident and calm.

Amber immediately looked over her head curiously and saw the words on it clearly: "Please close the free microphone first, thank you." (Liberty translation)

The room was quiet for a few seconds, and Amber slowly raised her head: "...Are you serious?"

"I think this is very suitable," Govente nodded seriously. "Look, polite enough, concise and not humble, showing our confidence, but not aggressive attitude, and more importantly, this sentence will not leak anything than posting a 'read'..."

Amber continued to look at Gao Wen with a strange look, and after a long time, the corners of his mouth trembled: "...Historical scholars will hate you."

Gao Wenyile: "They hate you even more. When you pried on the lid of my coffin, you broke the research results of at least hundreds of historians..."

...

In the 4th year of Cecil, the 2491st year of the ancient Gondor calendar, the last day of the harvest month, the atmosphere in the "Star Sea Plan" project hall of the Thorin Giant Tree "Star Sea Plan" was serious and solemn.

This will be the first time in history that the mortals of this planet have established communication with an alien civilization. Everything is ready, and countless pairs of eyes are staring at this hall. No matter what the result is today, as long as the future Loren civilization continues, everything that happens today is destined to be recorded in history.

Bard Wendel sat in his position with some tension. As one of the most senior "listeners", he was fortunate to appear here as one of the main responsible persons. If it were years ago, this was something he had never thought of; Ms. Belltila's incarnation stood at the front of the hall, as the body of the Thorin tree and the "foundation" of the entire facility, she would coordinate and direct all the work here; in front of Belltila was a set of large-scale holographic projections, on which the projection was presented by the figures of three empire rulers, Gowen, Rosetta and Bellsetia.

The three in the league who hold the highest power will personally pay attention to the progress of the matter.

There is also a special communication interface next to the three imperial leaders. The figure of the Ambassador of the Deep Sea Kingdom is in the picture. She seems to be in the center of a magic device with a complex structure. Many mysterious runes and flashing energy sparks are wandering in the air beside her. It is a special amplification device set in the Cecil City Magic Network Main Hub. This device is specially prepared for distant "deep sea allies". It can ensure "psychic communication" between the Loren Continent and Anta Vien. Since the core of the project is to use Anta Vien's super-light speed communication array to send and receive signals, this "transfer line" is particularly important here.

"The Solin Command Center is ready, the recording equipment is online, the translation team is in place, and the communication system is in good condition," Ms. Belltila's voice broke the nearly solidified atmosphere in the hall. "It is now 12:32 noon. According to recent rules, it is expected that the signal will be received in five minutes, and all units are ready."

Bud Wendell took a light breath and slowly calmed down his somewhat buzzing artificial heart.

As the "Alien Civilizations" adjust their sending mode, the signals that span the sea of ​​stars have been "self-optimizing" for a period of time. Now it has become a very stable and clear timed broadcast, which is not occasionally captured as usual. Now several major monitoring stations on the Loren Continent can basically receive clear communication content regularly. According to the plan, the "response" of the alliance was scheduled to be after the first broadcast "opposite" after noon today.

Bard slowly adjusted his condition. He looked at the mechanical clock hanging on the wall next to him. Almost at the same time, a report suddenly came from an instruction seat not far away: "The Ancestor's Peak Monitoring Station has sent a message, and a signal has been received in Agule!"

The next second, another command seat also heard a voice: "The main antenna of Solin received the signal! The signal strength is 4, the average is normal! The content has not changed as before!"

Belltila's voice rang out: "Wait for the broadcast to end for three seconds before it responded."

Bud's eyes fell on the record board in front of him.

"...Will we really send this to 'them' later?" An operator next to him suddenly whispered in a low voice as if he was talking to himself.

"Just execute accurately." Bard had a stern face, and he had no doubt about his duties. At this moment, he seemed to have returned many years ago, the days when he was still wearing a strong and sharp edge, and the years when he fulfilled his mission as a soldier. Unlike before, his mission at that time was to guard the frontier of the motherland, but today's mission is...

Let the aliens turn off the free microphone.

Well, there was still a little doubt and wavering in my heart, but Mr. Bud Wendell had a good mentality.

At this moment, the signal reaction from the depths of the starry sea disappeared and the broadcast ended.

Three seconds later, the operation group performed the operation according to the command without hesitation. The information reverse translated by the interpreters was input to the main brain, and the main brain was converted into the unique signal mode of the "Alien Civilization" according to special encoding rules. Then, with the amplification device set in Cecil City and the "Psychic Echo" of the Siren Tyre, the data was instantly transmitted to the distant Antavine.

On the other side of the distant sea, the super-light speed communication array of the ancient starship started violently.

For the first time in a million years, a superluminal signal was actively released from this inconspicuous small planet and reached the depths of the stars in an instant.

At this moment, a strange silence suddenly fell into the command hall.

"Received feedback from Anta Vien," the voice of Deep Sea Ambassador Tyre sounded in silence. "The message has been sent successfully, the intensity has reached the theoretical value, and I will wait for a response next."

After Tyre finished speaking, the hall remained quiet. For a moment, except for the buzzing sound of the equipment being operated, no one spoke in the huge space. Many eyes were staring at the indicator light in the center of the room that represented whether the main antenna was receiving signals. The light has not yet lit up. Although only a moment later, Bard felt that the silence had lasted for a century.

He heard the murmurs of his colleagues next to him: "The aliens shouldn't be too honest. They just turned off the communication and stopped contacting us anymore, right?"

Bard lowered his voice: "Don't think too much, especially to think about these impossible things."

"The communication may not respond immediately." In the large holographic projection at the front of the hall, the voice of the Silver Queen Belsetia suddenly broke the silence.

"Yes," Gao Wen nodded, "This is also one of the plans. If no immediate response is received, each listening station will continue to perform regular listening tasks until we take the initiative to make the call."

At this moment, Bard suddenly noticed that the surface of the indicator light in the center of the hall flashed.

The next second, the slightly excited voice of an instructor broke the somewhat solemn atmosphere in the hall: "The main antenna of Solin has received a signal! It is being output to Line 1!"

"Star Resolver," Belltila immediately shouted, "Please translate it as soon as possible."

The hall, which seemed to be solidified the previous second, became busy again at this moment. A piece of information that was completely different from the previous one entered the monitoring range of the main antenna of the Thorin, and this was obviously a response from the alien civilization. The interpreters who had been on standby immediately began to translate this new content and submitted the translation that was most likely to be close to the original meaning to Belltila in the shortest time. Bad Wendell looked at the holographic projection in the center of the hall with nervousness. He saw letters after letters appearing on the blank image that was specially left out:

"Sorry, we have no intention of causing trouble to you."

This sentence was followed by a period of pause, and then new information emerged:

“We got your responses Hope you can understand our excitement in the process, the strangers who are light years away, we have no malice.

“We don’t have much time left.

"Whether you have learned that a 'oscillation' that can destroy intelligent creatures is approaching the area where we live, whether it is your planet or our planet, they will face this storm."
