Chapter 229 Security Testing
During the negotiations a few days ago, the other party had clearly requested that in order to enhance the understanding of both sides and smoother communication, not limited to paper talks, both sides could send several diplomats to each other's field for diplomatic activities.
Although it may be a test, why don’t humans want to know more about each other?
Especially with the other party’s industrial strength and technological strength, it is definitely beneficial to collect more information.
It has been more than two years since humans settled on this planet. The development of surface heavy industrial bases has basically not been delayed. Various armed forces have gradually been sufficient. Under these prerequisites, people have begun to have enough confidence to meet each other's challenges.
Soon, a week passed, and the training of these diplomats was in full swing.
Wang Junpeng was confused and miserable behind all kinds of information. He didn't even have time to pick up girls. Fortunately, this job sounded a bit cool. When his girlfriend heard about this, the admiration that she showed could make people fly to the sky!
But I have to say that open and honest spies are not that easy to be. If you want to obtain more information, you are not just talking, but also having to look at them with your eyes and calculate them with your brain!
There are many industrial data that the other party cannot tell you directly, but diplomats can use some external manifestations to estimate. For example, how many people there are in a city, how much resources it consumes, how much output it has, these professional qualities and the ability to collect data cannot be obtained immediately, but must undergo long-term training.
"Everyone, please be more! The other side's civilized diplomat is coming, and you still have one month at most!"
...
At four o'clock that afternoon, while the large typhoon on the surface of the planet temporarily stopped, a small rocket was launched from the hole of the planet.
Under the blazing flames, the rocket quickly broke through the atmosphere and separated a small space capsule.
The power system of this capsule is not strong and requires human shuttle machines to salvage them by themselves.
"The atmosphere of this planet is too dense and there are powerful typhoons, so it is really difficult to develop aerospace industry... It is impossible for a space elevator to be blown down by a typhoon."
"Yes, but... why don't there be even artificial satellites on the surface of the planet? Don't they need it?" Zhang Yuan and others were also in a relaxed mood, looking at the distant firelight and chatting casually.
"Maybe this technology tree has not been lit up?"
Many technologies are accidental products of inspiration, not inevitable events in history. Satellites, the Internet, nylon ropes, antibiotics, and a large number of technologies are born by chance.
"Where did the rocket come from? Isn't it used to launch satellites?"
"I don't know this..."
After a while of silence, Zhang Yuan suddenly turned around and said a little serious: "According to some dialogues in the negotiations, we can speculate that because of this external environment and this civilization, almost every individual has a very serious wilderness phobia!"
"So, they don't like the empty outer space at all, they don't have the desire to explore like we do, and they don't have a high tendency to colonize externally. I even really doubt that they want peaceful negotiations."
Captain Zhao nodded: "Hey, maybe it's because the individuals without wilderness phobia were all eliminated by the typhoon."
"If this kind of civilization that doesn't like to expand outward, it's really... unimaginable if it's not seen with your own eyes."
In fact, this phenomenon is not incomprehensible. For example, on the earth, some organisms will commit suicide after they reproduce to a certain number; some animals are not interested in expanding to the outside world, such as sloths...
As an expert in the history of new civilizations, Zhang Yuan quickly understood the deeper meaning of this strange phenomenon... Individuals in this civilization instinctively like claustrophobic and narrow environments, which can bring a sense of security. Just because the difference in the living environment of "typhoons often blow on the surface" has a huge deviation from the ideology of the entire civilization.
This mentality and subconsciousness, compared with human civilization, may have certain natural defects, which cause a lot of obstacles when expanding to the outside world. Because humans like spacious and bright environments, wilderness phobia is only a few of them among human individuals.
However, this "defect" is just a defect that humans think. Perhaps the other party thinks this kind of consciousness is normal? It may even think that the colonial tendency brought by humans is very stupid, because there are powerful civilizations in the universe who accidentally encounter a hard nail and then become completely ashamed.
Only by staying alone like this can you last for a long time, right?
"Hey, according to this reasoning, are humans perfect?"
Compared with the trillions of civilizations in the universe, do humans have natural defects that they do not realize?
There must be!
And many!
“Some cultures that are deeply rooted, some things that are unwilling to change.”
Zhang Yuan shook his head vigorously and temporarily threw these random thoughts behind him.
Let’s go back to the matter before us first. If long-term peace can be achieved, it will definitely be a good thing.
For such a long time, people did nothing except to build nuclear warheads, including artificial hatching of a large number of babies, which was delayed.
The benefits brought by war are too little, and the lives of the people are extremely difficult. Even if they are defeated, can they still run to the other side’s planet to plunder? It is impossible!
At present, humans do not have much inclination. There are so many planets here. The other one is not the best, and it is difficult to develop, so there is really no need to fight to death.
"Please pay attention to the crew members, shuttle, departure countdown!" Captain Zhao issued an order during this conversation.
"Five, four, three, two, one! Let's go!"
A few seconds later, a small shuttle was shot out of the mothership, and a light blue plasma flame was sprayed.
After moving away from the mothership, it quickly turned into a small star dot.
After two hours of suffering and waiting, the small shuttle finally approached the capsule. The driver pressed the button and several carbon fiber ropes of the spring launcher accurately hooked to the robotic arm of the capsule.
With such a heavy thing, the shuttle's power was slightly insufficient and could only accelerate slowly, and then slowly pulled the capsule away from its original orbital position.
It took six cycles of Glitzer 581g in a row, and it took two days to officially escape from the planet's gravity and fly towards the direction of the satellite.
"Just stay in that position... Tell the other diplomats that our people need to conduct safety inspections on their space capsules." Captain Zhao said directly to the contact staff.
"Understood."
This is also what was agreed in advance. Everyone was afraid that the other party would hide something in the space capsule, such as nuclear bombs, or weapons of mass destruction such as biochemical viruses.
If the other party wants to sacrifice the lives of several individuals and engage in self-destructive attacks, it is always humans who suffer themselves.
