Chapter 29 Wait for a monthly pass)
Time passes slowly.
The plan is still constantly checking for omissions and improving as much as possible. Although these efforts may be wasted as soon as the enemy's latest news comes.
However, everyone is still working hard.
As time gradually passed, the time to receive the enemy's feedback signal was getting closer and closer, and everyone became more nervous.
"Count the time, in another ten minutes, we can see Target B's reaction to the destruction of the detector and Target A's suppression." Wen Ziqiang looked at the corner of his eyes and sighed, and his eyebrows were also a little anxious.
After hearing this, Cheng Xiang stopped reviewing the latest integrated action plan at this time, looked at Wen Ziqiang and smiled slightly, and gently tapped the table with his fingertips.
"It's only ten minutes, it's soon."
"I'm not surprised if I have any reaction. We can't take them directly, but they also don't have much deterrence to us. There is more than 90% chance that they have no other choice."
"Talking to us is the best choice. I am curious about what kind of intelligent creatures they will be? What kind of life form will they be, and how can they communicate smoothly with them?" Cheng Xiang mentioned.
"Ninety percent?" Wen Ziqiang wanted to say something when he heard this probability, but he shut up again after thinking about it. There was no 100% plan. Ninety percent was just a very confident synonym. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
If he was in the laboratory, Wen Ziqiang was still very careful about his image. However, when he got along with Cheng Xiang in private, he didn't need to lead a team, so of course he would be a lot casual. As for what form of alien creatures is, he really didn't have that imagination, but he could still complain about this in private.
"If our strength can be stronger, we don't have to wait so much and just grab it and take it over. There is no need to be so troublesome."
Cheng Xiang was also amused by this, "Haha, Director Wen, you don't seem to be wrong with this, but, generally speaking, in the process of civilization climbing, any value that can be directly and easily made is very little to us."
"And whatever we are very difficult to get is very valuable to us."
"So, take this one you imagine and it will be realized one day, but when it is realized, you find that anything you can easily get is not what you really want."
"Stop!" Wen Ziqiang surrendered voluntarily and made a stop gesture, "Stop, Chief Cheng, I find that I really can't tell you."
"Isn't it just waiting or trying to be patient?" Wen Ziqiang said with a carefree smile. "I remember when biotechnology was not yet the dominant leader in society, I was an old staff officer."
"At that time, it was not common for small fuss."
"When it comes to patience, how could I be bad?" Wen Ziqiang said.
When Cheng Xiang heard this, he also smiled, "Director Wen, you must be inseparable from patience, but the difficulty of fighting for patience this time may be far beyond our imagination."
Wen Ziqiang nodded.
When Cheng Xiang saw Wen Ziqiang's still relaxed expression, he emphasized a little, "Director Wen, what I said may be far beyond that."
"Director Wen, have you heard of the hypothesis of size and reaction?" Cheng Xiang suddenly said.
Wen Ziqiang nodded seriously, "Of course I have heard of the newly emerging social science hot topics in the past two years."
"Whether it is an individual or a group, their ability to adapt and react to the outside world is inversely proportional to their own body size."
"In short, the larger the size, the slower the reaction speed will inevitably be!"
"At present, this theory is applied to humans, human society, and even speculates that the earth is also a kind of life. However, under the planetary life level, the scale of life will be stretched very large and the reaction will be particularly slow. For them, the cognition of time and our human cognition of time are completely different magnitudes."
"For them, the entire history of our human beings may be just a process that cannot breathe in a long process of life." Wen Ziqiang couldn't help but sigh while recalling, it was a crazy idea.
"Yes, that's the theory."
"I won't talk about the speculation of planetary life for the time being, but there is one thing that can't find a direct counterexample for the relationship between size and reaction for the time being."
"When we apply what we are facing now, what we are facing now is a diplomatic mission of interstellar civilization. On such a long spatial scale, what is even more terrifying is that we do not have very convenient communication technology yet."
“And, even if we have convenient communication technology.”
"In the face of such a diplomatic mission with extremely lack of information, just temptation, we may have to prepare for a long time."
"The negotiation we are facing soon is destined to be very long." Cheng Xiang said seriously.
"They took several years, huge energy and resources to come to us, and wanted to negotiate in a few days. Don't say we couldn't, even they didn't know."
"Maybe, in a short time, a few months will be said to the minority. If there is any change, the time will be longer."
"And, what's bad is that our current situation is more than self-preservation for Target B, but not enough attacks."
"They are in warp navigation mode, the maneuverable types are much stronger than us."
"It's okay to fight defensive positions. Our size retains the greatest advantage, but interstellar free combat and the engine's braking mode naturally limit us. We can't do anything to them for the time being." Cheng Xiang shook his head. This is also the most troublesome thing at the moment.
"..." Wen Ziqiang was furious when he heard this.
But there is no way, this is the fact.
"It's really passive at this point."
...
Time passes quietly.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Everyone was waiting for signals from afar.
However, with the continuous signal, more than ten minutes passed again. In addition to the normal random algorithm track transformation, the other actions detected on the large screen were not the same.
“Is there no other regular communication medium signal?”
“Not found yet.”
The receivers of gravitational waves, neutrino communications, electromagnetic waves, and multiple signals have been turned on at full power, but they have not captured strong communication signals.
There is only one way to explain that the other party has no action in this regard.
"what to do?"
"Look at them, keep waiting as planned!" Ren Daoming said in a deep voice.
Waiting at this time is no longer just about being patient.
It's not just about comparing who is more energy-consuming.
This silent waiting is precisely a silent confrontation with comprehensive strength.
Whether to fight or to be harmonious is up to you.
If you want to fight, I will fight with you.
If you want to make peace, we will talk slowly.
This is a choice that can only be made with confidence.
Whoever can’t sit still first and who speaks out first will lose the psychological game.
