Chapter 396 Contact with Humans
When I saw these alien spacecraft, the interior of the room suddenly became quiet.
This was simply terrifying, as if a stream of air conditioning descended from the distant horizon and passed to every cell in the body... No one in the room spoke, or no one dared to speak.
The noisy airship whistle outside looked particularly harsh, and the "tumbling" sound pulled everyone's thoughts back.
"... Increase the resolution ten times more!" The webmaster's tone was both terrified and nervous.
Discussions about aliens have been popular in this astronomical station for a while. The Tep people have always felt that there are aliens in this universe, but they have been discovering them all.
But if alien civilizations really come to the planet, then the Tep people are probably not much stronger than insects in front of them. The distance between stars is light years, what does it mean for a civilization that cannot launch satellites!
Now that the other party has really come, they always have a sense of fear like Ye Gong.
With the adjustment of resolution, the images on the screen became clearer. These ten spacecraft were of different sizes. The largest one was two kilometers long and the smallest one was only about twenty or thirty meters.
From the outside, it is completely difficult to tell what the functions are in various strange shapes.
O'Brien even stopped breathing, his brain was running violently, and his eyes glared out like dead fish eyes.
"It's really an alien civilization!"
"But how can such a small fleet cross the distance between stars by light years? Curvature navigation? Or... they still have motherships staying in outer space, but we didn't find it?"
"Yes, it's probably so!"
This matter was so big that a small astronomical meteorological station could handle it. The stationmaster was stunned for a few minutes, rolled out and tried to contact the highest leader he could contact...
As a result, the other party didn't believe that this was happening, thinking that he was joking!
"Mr. Mobu, don't joke. It's working hours now. I know your meteorological station needs more funds, but you can't talk nonsense. Do you think the superiors will believe it?"
It was not until the webmaster sent a large amount of evidence and then shouted violently that the leader realized the seriousness and continued to submit the information skeptically.
Half an hour later...
The country's top leaders have learned about this news and received the signal from more than one observatory, almost all over the country!
At first he didn't believe it, but the evidence was getting more and more. Later, the think tank also called an emergency number. The moment he accepted this fact, he was stunned and almost dizzy.
alien?!
It's simply... too ridiculous!
Regarding an alien civilization, which appears above the planet's atmosphere for the first time, it can be said that it is a major event that may subvert the global status quo!
No matter how much you pay attention to it, it's not an exaggeration!
Soon, the president of the country and a large group of leaders of the military rushed to the astronomical meteorological station, and they turned down all the messy meetings that followed.
The military radar cannot scan the spacecraft above the atmosphere. The space observation facility of this astronomical meteorological observatory is already the best equipment near the city, and there are also better observation platforms, but in some remote mountainous areas, it is impossible to get over it in a short time.
"Is this the resolution of this telescope the only way?" One of the generals said with a little dissatisfaction looking at a few photos on the screen.
Astronomer O'Brien didn't give face either: "God General, there are only millions of things... This spacecraft called human civilization is still moving in high-altitude orbit above the atmosphere. If it is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of equipment, it can be photographed more clearly."
The general snorted and said nothing. Some military experts in the rear were pointing at the photos, and the equipment might be weapons, and those might be nuclear bombs, or even antimatter missiles, etc. They tried their best to transform the unknown into known.
But now, even if hundreds of millions or even hundreds of billions are temporarily allocated, it is impossible to immediately build a high-standard telescope.
The President was talking to his staff. The Supreme Leader of Austria was very anxious, both in his expression and movement.
He deeply knew how powerful an alien civilization that could span stars was!
"It's possible that interstellar technology is actually very simple, but we didn't find it? No, this is impossible... I can think about it and know that it is impossible..."
This inequality in strength caused all Tep people to feel a deep sense of fear and powerlessness. Even if this human civilization claims to be a good-willed civilization, who knows?
Among their civilizations, there are some science fiction movies that shoot disasters brought by alien civilizations. Even though most of the movies end with the Tep people defeating aliens, reality is reality, and movies are movies!
"Let's talk to them, since there's no special way."
After a while of discussion, the president finally spoke: "It is better to be able to communicate with each other than not. Even if we suffer a little loss, it's nothing...or maybe we can gain something from the communication? Since the other party did not directly attack, it means that there is no intention to directly invade us."
One of the staff explained: "This kind of interstellar civilization should not come to plunder our population, nor do we need to forcibly plunder the resources of our planet."
"Since the other party has deciphered our voice, it should be more than a day or two. We don't talk to it, but other countries also talk to it..."
The president once again signed a paper order: "In short, block the news on the Internet first...Don't cause panic among the people!"
He asked another general again: "What should we do if there is a war?"
The general shook his head. They did not hit the weapon of this kind of spacecraft at all. The difference in technology generation is too big. He can't even hit the opponent. Why do you win?
The president sighed and turned to ask a secretary: "United our allies and asked in vainly whether they had received relevant information... If not, don't tell them."
"I understand!" The secretary saluted solemnly and ran out of the room with a nervous mood, but with another wonderful excitement.
What happens when you come into contact with a higher-tech alien civilization?
Soon, after discussion, these Tep people wrote a reply.
"Hello, respected human civilization."
"I am Tepxing, the leader of Austria, Levins. I would like to use this letter to represent the most sincere greetings of our entire Austria population of 510 million."
"Our civilization has gone through 22,000 years since it has written records. There are 1,023 recognized countries on the planet, with a total population of 5 billion..."
This reply briefly introduces the specific situation of the Taipu civilization.
These information are very easy to investigate, and even if it is revealed to humans, it doesn't matter much.
Immediately afterwards, I wrote some self-proclaimed words such as "We love peace", "advocating justice", and "loving equality and freedom". Anyway, it doesn't matter if it is true or false. As long as the Tep people think so, it's fine.
In other words, every civilization with a sense of morality is accustomed to standing on the commanding heights of morality, as if this can demonstrate absolute justice.
