Chapter 228: Contacts of the Third Kind!
A few seconds later, the contact person of the Earth Times received a reply from the other party.
"Reporting sir, the other party agreed!"
Just like that, another shuttle drove out of the mothership, and after maintaining the same speed as the space capsule with a length of more than 6 meters and a width of 4 meters, the robotic arm successfully docked and jumped into the two spaceships. soldiers and a related security expert...
Li Junkang and Guo Qiang swallowed together, feeling extremely nervous. They saw more than a dozen pangolin-like creatures densely packed inside the space capsule, all wearing aerospace suits. Subdued, staring at it with dark eyes.
"Don't be nervous! They should be more nervous than you." A voice came from the earphones, "Just maintain the necessary humility."
Major Guo licked his dry lips, recalling his mission. Said a word: "Welcome friends of the Gliese civilization, go to our mothership..." "
Please go here... to land on our small spaceship for safety inspection."
Inside the mothership, a hundred kilometers away, Zhang Yuan stared at the big screen carefully, almost without blinking his eyes. These pangolin-like creatures have a pair of black eyes and are very short in stature, the longest being only one meter two.
"Friends from human civilization, hello! I am the leader of this diplomatic team, and you can call me Gan Yaduo." One of the Gliese people who looked like a leader also said something in the headset.
After being processed by the translator, it is not difficult to understand.
Several soldiers inspected the entire space capsule in great detail, and nothing suspicious happened, and everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Bring them to the mothership!"
At this point, the first contact between humans and alien civilizations - the third kind of contact, officially started!
Zhang Yuan's mood was very excited, one side was full of vigilance, and the other side was full of curiosity.
It is impossible for human beings to never interact with alien civilizations. This Gliese civilization, if possible, is undoubtedly a very good contact and communication partner.
Its scientific and technological strength seems to be slightly weaker than that of human beings, at least on the surface... The new civilization has most of the technological background of the earth civilization, and if there is enough time, the development potential is far greater than what it currently sees.
For this contact, the entire human civilization has been preparing for a long time, and even completely transformed a small area in the Earth Age. These life forms are anaerobic organisms, but they also have a small amount of respiration.
High concentrations of oxygen are highly toxic to them, so it is necessary to prepare a mixed gas with the same composition as the local planet's atmosphere, as well as almost the same atmospheric pressure, air humidity, etc... At the same time, it is necessary to create a completely free environment. Bacterial environment, save these organisms are killed by human bacteria and viruses.
They are not so much diplomats as they are a group of uncles!
But people have to do this. If a pangolin accidentally dies, it will be a diplomatic accident, no different from dropping mud in the crotch.
While sitting on the track car, the group of Gliese looked around curiously, but obviously, all of these creatures restrained their curiosity, at least they didn't look around or fumble around.
Then, they came to their living quarters.
"...The generosity and hospitable human civilization, I have to praise your delicacy. Living here is like returning to our home planet, which is quite comfortable." After a while, the Gliese man named Gan Yaduo issued a message A message, "Even the gravity environment is very good, we are sincerely grateful."
The temporary living area has been transformed into a strange state like a sewer pipe. All lights are also dimmed to suit their eyes.
The room of each Gliese is very small, less than two square meters like a cardboard box. As a result, this group of guys actually felt quite comfortable, and they liked such a narrow environment.
Seeing the surrounding companions all feel a little funny, Captain Zhao couldn't help coughing, "Everyone, don't laugh, this also shows that due to the difference in living environment, the thinking patterns of the two civilizations are actually very different... Fortunately, it's okay. Communicate. Hey, let's seek common ground while reserving differences."
Zhang Yuan said: "We should let them rest for a while, and they should be quite tired after traveling thousands of miles on a rocket. A rocket is not a space elevator, and it has to withstand huge acceleration, which is not so comfortable."
"Anyway, this kind of negotiation can't be completed in a day or two."
Zhao Qingfeng agreed: "It should be like this, let them rest for a while... However, we can study the food they bring and some biological specimens they carry. "
A group of diplomats and biologists rushed over enthusiastically and handed over with each other. Then I got a storage box the size of a pencil case, which contained some specimens of alien plants and insects.
These things are so important that biologist Ichiro Yamamoto's fingers were almost trembling. He carefully put this storage box into a specific safe. Excitement is excitement, but you still have to be careful, it will be a big trouble if things cause biological contamination.
Alien life can only be studied with confidence in a biosafety level four laboratory, that is, a P4 laboratory.
Immediately afterwards, a human diplomat said hastily: "Thank you very much for the biological specimens you brought! You can rest in this living area as much as you want, and we will consider the matter of the diplomatic conference after the rest." After the handover,
this The group of Glizers has really begun to allocate rooms, eat, and rest very comfortably, and some are curiously looking at the small amount of equipment on the spacecraft...including some video installations, and some entertainment products such as art albums .
A few hours later, this group of guys seemed to be really tired, and they all fell asleep lazily like tortoises hibernating... They fell asleep as soon as they fell asleep
...
for more than ten days!
This made all human beings very anxious. After wearing away his patience day by day, Zhang Yuan thought that letting the other party rest is simply a bad idea that can't be worse!
Later, after some explanations by biologists, everyone vaguely speculated that this is the normal work and rest habits of the Gliese people!
It's not intentional at all, nor is it slack, but it's just like this.
"Because the energy brought by anaerobic respiration is too little, they need long-term sleep to store energy... This is the first time we have encountered this unique biological phenomenon." Ichiro Yamamoto explained excitedly,
blushing Dao: "We dissected some insect specimens and found that there is generally a special energy organ inside these insects. We named it the energy nucleus. Anyway, it is the main energy organ." "During biological dormancy, it can slowly
digest The food in the body, the main component of the food is glucose, which is not much different from ours. Their unique biological enzymes can store the energy released by anaerobic respiration in the energy core, and release it quickly when they wake up... The utilization rate of food is very high, but due to anaerobic respiration, the digestion rate is also very slow." "
So, due to the difference in respiration, the organisms here generally have a long dormancy time and a very slow growth rate. Even Insects are no exception. At the same time, this breathing method can also achieve a higher lifespan!" "
I estimate that these Gliese people can easily survive for five or six hundred years. If there is technology to assist, they can survive for one or two years." A thousand years is no big deal..."
Survive for a thousand or two thousand years!
This speculation makes people a little sluggish. It is simply a creature that lives longer than a tortoise. Although it needs a long period of dormancy and sleeps for more than ten days at a time...
Professor Yamamoto quickly continued: "But it can also be speculated that their reproductive ability is not high. To reproduce an individual, It's really exhausting...Of course, it's just my guess, it should be the odds of laying eggs."
