Capítulo 226: Chapter 226: The Genesis Project
The other scholars then joined in to perfect the plan.
"For a stable civilization, this is the time to make contact with an intruder, and it's a definite move."
"But for a civilization already in a state of war readiness, any intruder could be an enemy."
"So this plan doesn't hold."
"But we can modify it. We can create a dilapidated spaceship to make the Strings feel threatened, and thus make contact."
Just as this scholar finished speaking, another scholar stood up.
"Don't you see the flaw in your plan?"
"What would you do if you saw a dilapidated object in space?"
"At least for me, the first choice would be to remain silent and observe for a period of time. After confirming there's no threat, we would then investigate. It wouldn't be our first reaction to use language to communicate."
"The second choice would be to destroy it directly. For me, there's no gain or loss in doing so."
"Only then would we try to hail them, but even if we did, when facing an unknown civilization and their unfamiliar warships, wouldn't we use our own language? Or would we use a mathematical or physical model that all civilizations understand?"
"This is the core of the problem."
"If they are facing something relatively weaker, there's no need for the Strings to communicate at all."
These words made the previous scholar slowly nod: "Indeed, I didn't consider this thoroughly enough."
"This plan can only be implemented once. The second time, it will fail. My plan is stable and certain, but it's a plan that can fail."
"So, what is your plan?"
This question left the scholar who had been refuting the plan speechless for a long time, clearly still without a solution.
"What would make the Strings make contact?"
This was the question now.
Soon, a scholar provided the answer.
"At this stage, the Strings most want to make contact with the Federation. So, offering an olive branch, they will definitely make contact. But if a potential ally appears, they won't dare to make contact."
This was the most suitable approach.
No matter how mysterious or powerful, it would be of no use to the current Strings. They would perceive these as threats.
It's the same if it's directed at the Federation.
However, this proposal meant exposing the Federation's weakness to the Strings, which seemed like too high a cost.
The conference room fell silent again as the scholars racked their brains.
This wasn't an easy decision to make because there were too many factors to consider, and they wanted to do it as perfectly as possible, aiming for success on the first try.
Many computer-simulated plans had also been affected by external forces or biological emotions, leading to failure despite being optimized repeatedly.
The proposals put forward seemed few, but in fact, the scholars had already completed most parts of the plan.
"This won't do. We're compromising too much."
"It might even lead to the loss of another star domain. This is the worst plan."
Almost all the scholars were shaking their heads.
"Slap!"
At this moment, a scholar banged on the table and stood up.
"I think this is feasible."
"We can use false costs to confuse the Strings."
"Think about it. We give the Strings a way to defeat us, and then we come up with a solution around this, which can even lead them into our trap again."
Before he could finish, a chuckle was heard.
"Even if your plan is feasible, haven't you already deviated a bit from the main point?"
"We want the Strings' life form, not a tactical ploy for the battlefield."
The Hundred-Eyed Scholar's hundreds of eyes stared at the scholars in the room.
"If we follow the core of the current discussion, then we should send someone to deliver our weaknesses to the Strings. Is this not ridiculous?"
The scholars felt uncomfortable under the gaze of the Hundred-Eyed Scholar's eyes, and almost at the same time, one scholar was inspired by this discomfort.
"It's not ridiculous."
"Biology!"
"Compared to the civilizations we've encountered, the Federation's greatest weakness is its biology."
"So, we give the enemy a way to eliminate and destroy our biology, and for biological matters, we can use biology to investigate."
"I have a bold plan, and it's quite complicated. But I hope you can see its feasibility; it has many advantages."
"In fact, the Federation has always been conducting research in the field of biology, but we've been thinking about turning biology into battleships, or creating insect-like spaceships."
"But the most terrifying aspect of biology isn't this. Its most terrifying point is actually very simple. Every civilization was once biological, and if they want to break free from this category, we can take advantage of this."
"What do living beings yearn for?"
"A higher level."
"We don't need to give the Strings our weaknesses. We can give them the opportunity to evolve."
"The Strings are advanced and powerful, which I can't deny. But think about it, in our war with them, they have always relied on their numerical advantage in battleships. They have never shown intellectual superiority, and this point has been raised by scholars before, and I believe you've also thought deeply about it."
"From this, I can determine one thing: the Strings are a race of honest or down-to-earth life forms, and their life forms don't possess any superiority."
"So, we can give them a direction for advancement, and this direction doesn't need to be clear, but they need to explore it."
"They will draw conclusions from it and change themselves. Then, we don't need to exhaust ourselves trying to understand their language and then deduce from it. Instead, we can shape their life forms."
A pipe dream.
All the scholars who heard this thought it was a joke.
But then, this scholar revealed the core of the plan.
"We can create a sand table to influence the Strings' thoughts."
"This sand table won't pose any threat to the Strings. It will only contain some basic things. It won't carry any form of threat, and it's just a sand table or a game."
"We won't control it, and we won't influence it. It's like the abode of the gods."
"The Strings will definitely be curious and observe what we're doing."
"So, what are we going to do? We're going to conduct a normal life exploration plan, which will let the Strings know what kind of life we are. Don't worry about this, in fact, the Strings already know what kind of life we are. So, what this sand table conveys is actually nothing new."
"It's the civilization of the Federation, and this is our strength. We use civilization to fight."
"This sand table doesn't just contain our civilization. It also includes our pursuit of a higher level. We are already so perfect, and we seek an even more perfect existence, which is extremely attractive to any civilization."
"They will willingly accept these, without a doubt. No civilization would give up the opportunity to progress."
"For example, Star City. In fact, we can completely imitate and replicate what the pioneers did when they faced Star City. You should know that the olive branch civilization is stronger than the Strings, but what about now? They are already beginning to merge with our ideology."
"What we need to do is very simple. We make them fear that we will make progress through this, and then they won't dare to learn from us."
"If they want to learn, they need to make contact. Once they make contact, we can get all their information."
"The details of the plan are a bit pale in words, but I've already uploaded the detailed information to the public space. You can download it."
"I will name this plan the Genesis Project!"
Yan Xia downloaded the information, and his eyes lit up as he read it.
The other scholars also reacted similarly, with some even standing up and shouting, "Brilliant! Truly brilliant!"
"We can really do this, and the impact won't just be on this fleet of the Strings, but on the entire String civilization."
