Chapter 307 Response

After a moment of silence, a scholar suggested: "Commander, since we have completed the turn, no matter what the Nair civilization says, we cannot turn around and go back. Firstly, it is because excessive adjustment of the route has caused serious fuel loss. Secondly, It’s about exposing the problem. In my opinion, we might as well continue heading towards the red dwarf.”

As soon as the words came out, another expert worriedly said: "But isn't the Red Dwarf also belongs to the Nair civilization? If they don't let us dock because we don't follow their arrangements, what should we do? ?”

"This is easy to handle." The scholar who just spoke smiled, "First of all, judging from the reaction of the Nair civilization, they should be a well-intentioned civilization, at least on the surface. Since they are a well-intentioned civilization, they will conflict with us. The possibility is not high. In this case, we only need to clarify the original explanation of our trip to the red dwarf star, and this problem can be easily solved. "

"That's what you say, but what specific reason should be used?" The expert shook his head, still finding this matter difficult to handle. He continued: "Judging from the current situation, no matter what, it was caused by us changing the route in advance. , we can’t say that we were forced to turn quickly because we were afraid of the presence of a large fleet on the yellow dwarf.”

"Of course we can't say this." The scholar glanced at the expert and explained: "You must be very clear about the real reason for our turn, so I won't go into details, but it caused us to turn early and now face this kind of situation. Because of the situation, we can’t be blamed.”

The scholar paused, looked around at the crowd, and then asked: "Think about it, if the call between us and the Nel civilization was real-time, could this happen?"

oh.

The scholar's question goes unanswered because the answer is so obvious. It was precisely because of this rhetorical question that everyone understood what the scholar meant.

Communication delay!

Humans can use communication delays as an excuse. After all, six years have passed since humans sent out the inquiry message and received the reply. Moreover, the three patrol ships of the Nair civilization stopped humans as soon as they met, and then provided this information. A lot of that

Human beings can use this as an argument, saying that they thought they encountered a malicious civilization, so they turned away in advance. As for why the response is so quick and inspiring, there are many excuses. Since humans say that they are a space exploration team, it is normal to encounter other civilizations during previous voyages, so they can use this as an excuse. He said that he had encountered a very malicious civilization before, was deceived by the malicious civilization, and suffered serious losses, so he acted like this now.

There must be nothing to criticize in saying this.

After understanding the meaning, everyone discussed it with each other and felt that it was a good deal.

Seeing that everyone had a unified opinion, Yue Yuan, who had been listening, also said: "Okay, this matter is settled. Now let's discuss the next question. Should we change the real destination we are going to? Tell Nell Civilization?”

As soon as Yue Yuan's words came, he thought the sociology researcher said: "From the current situation, this Nair civilization seems to have no reason to lie to us, so I think we'd better tell them the true destination."

At this point, a staff member opened his mouth to say something, but saw the sociology researcher who was speaking look at him and said first: "Listen to me first."

Seeing that he had successfully interrupted the staff of the staff, the sociological researcher continued: "I know that the staff just made the suggestion that 'we are going back' in order to deceive the Nair civilization and hide our true nature. Purpose of route.

From the perspective of "Nair civilization is a malicious civilization", this approach is indeed the best solution, but judging from the information replied by Nair civilization, they may actually be a benevolent civilization.

So from this point of view, I think we should tell them our true destination for two reasons. "

"First, since we are already here, whether we are willing or not, we will inevitably have contact with the Nair civilization for some time in the future. Then, by doing so, we can show our sincerity and lay the groundwork for future exchanges. Base.

Secondly, didn't the Nel civilization say that the red dwarf star belongs to their power? If we answer truthfully, we can test whether what they said is true and see whether they are a well-intentioned civilization as stated in the reply. "

"Oh? What do you mean by this second point?" a physicist asked curiously. When it doesn't involve physics issues, he usually comes here to listen to how these guys analyze it. Now he hears about sociological research. The reporter said this, which naturally aroused his curiosity.

Among the crowd, scientists from all walks of life who were engaged in scientific work like him also looked at the past with curious faces. Obviously they were also quite curious.

These scientists who are engaged in natural sciences are usually devoted to research in their own fields, so they rarely think about these things.

"It's very simple!" The sociology researcher said with a smile on his face, and said confidently: "After we inform the Nair civilization that we are heading to the red dwarf star, if we reply next time, they will push us to go to other yellow stars. Dwarf star or other star system, then it can be judged that the territory they mentioned is bragging. This red dwarf star is not their sphere of influence at all, and there is no base there at all. "

"In this case, it means that the Nair civilization is not sincere in communicating with us. Their reply to us asking us to go to the yellow dwarf may have some intention. In this case, we can define them as a malicious civilization, and use this as a basis to guess their thoughts and formulate a series of targeted plans."

"We send them a message now, and the time to get a reply is about seven years. Seven years later, we must still be on the way to the red dwarf. If their reply is as mentioned above, then we can choose to continue to the red dwarf, or change our course.

Before we change our course again, they can only know our approximate location at most, so we are still safe for the time being."

"What if they do not ask us to go to the red dwarf or turn around to the yellow dwarf in their next reply, but designate another star for us to dock?" One person asked again.

"This is also easy to deal with. We can use the long journey and lack of fuel as an excuse. As for whether to turn and where to turn, that's another matter. In short, no matter what, our destination must not follow the instructions of the Nair civilization, so that we can avoid risks as much as possible." The sociologist had obviously thought of everything long ago.
