Colonel Wallace went forward to greet him, but stopped when he was two meters away from him.
According to the task given to him by the board, he should communicate with the other party immediately, but Wallace wondered if the alien could understand him.
He imagined countless ways to meet the alien, but when the other party really appeared, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Do I have to say … Do you speak English?"
Thinking of this, Wallace realized that silence spoke louder than words.
He suddenly had an epiphany, and a classic image flashed through his mind.
Wallace stretched out his index finger and gently probed it, which was a gesture of contact with E.T.
Countless cameras were aimed at him, and everyone behind the scenes looked at the index finger through the screen, holding their breath.
The woman glanced at the finger and said calmly, "I need a formal reception, don't tell me this is it?"
Wallace's finger froze in the air, and he quickly said awkwardly, "Oh? Oh! Yes, sorry, we are ready … Please! "
The woman's fluent English made him very uncomfortable. He hurriedly retracted his finger and made an inviting gesture.
"When did she learn our language?"
"Maybe in the past few days?"
"Sure enough, I said the black ball has been observing us."
The discussion in the channel was intense. In fact, the board had prepared everything, including the town hall near Angel Beach that had been temporarily transformed into a reception.
They immediately asked Wallace to take the alien guest there.
Wallace walked in front, and the woman suddenly reached out to touch the air behind him.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a black metal inverted triangular container appeared in the air, just enough to accommodate the woman's lower body.
And the empty space she touched was on the edge of the inverted triangle.
The whole metal floated up and carried the woman forward.
Wallace looked at her in a daze, and the advisory team behind him couldn't understand this technology at all.
"Can't detect the heat, and the material can't be analyzed …"
"Construction-energy conversion? Or was it invisible before? "
"The technology gap is too big …"
Ignoring how shocked the advisory team was, Wallace walked quickly in front and said, "Hello, welcome to Earth. You can call me Wallace. May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
"Black Ball," the woman said without hesitation.
Wallace's mouth twitched. This name is so perfunctory … Blakeballs?
"You speak English very well." Wallace's smile remained unchanged.
The woman tilted her head and said, "Watch my mouth. I'm not speaking English."
Wallace was stunned. The woman's mouth didn't seem to match what he heard.
"But I clearly … this is …"
The woman said, "This is a simple translator. When it landed, it deciphered all the languages of your civilization."
Wallace was shocked, but he quickly composed himself. Translating Earth's language was not that complicated. This was an alien whose technology was far superior to humans. It was normal for them to easily decipher all their languages.
"Then are you speaking your mother tongue?"
The woman said, "No, I'm speaking Chinese."
"Huh?" Wallace was confused.
"Compared to deciphering your language, it actually took me longer to get used to using my vocal cords to communicate. This body can't use its mother tongue, so I chose the language with the most information," the woman said calmly.
"…" Wallace's expression froze. There was a lot of information in that sentence.
She said fiercely in the channel, "You don't speak your mother tongue because the other party's physiological structure is very different from ours, and they don't use their vocal cords to communicate at all!"
"I see. Maybe this victim was not an accident. The black ball deliberately chose to land in a sea area where an Earthling was and obtained a human sample."
Wallace asked as he walked, "You're a parasite on an Earthling, aren't you?"
The woman said calmly, "… If you think you're using a remote control, you're also a parasite."
Wallace was surprised. He looked at the horn and asked, "Is your body still in the spaceship? Are you using some kind of technology to control this body? "
The woman denied, "My body is at home."
"???" Wallace was stunned. At home? What did she mean?
The woman said, "It was my detector that found you. Why should I be in the detector?"
Her tone was as if she was talking about some natural common sense. Wallace was speechless.
At the same time, the channel was in chaos.
"God, is that an unmanned detector?"
"She's been in her mother civilization all this time. After the detector found us, she observed us through some method and controlled a human to come into contact with us."
"Sure enough, this is a substitute!"
Thinking about it carefully, this was indeed an extremely convenient way of navigation.
As long as the technology was good enough, the aliens didn't need to explore in person at all. They could send countless detectors to every star system.
If a detector found a habitable planet, they could observe it through the detector. They could even directly control the creatures on that planet. It was like a person controlling a game character and indirectly landing on that planet.
In comparison, driving the spaceship with the body to explore was very inefficient and wasted a lot of time and manpower.
The advisory group of the Global Council quickly simulated the exploration of the black ball based on this information.
A person sitting at home could receive the signals of thousands of detectors. Most of the time, they could do other things. Only when a detector returned data would they need to pay attention to it.
Blakeballs in front of them might be one of the operators in charge of a number of detectors in the black ball civilization.
"That black ball turned out to be the Von Neumann machine used by the alien civilization to explore the stars."
"No wonder she contacted us with the appearance of an Earthling. She didn't come at all."
"There must be aliens in the spaceship. This idea is purely due to technological limitations."
"In fact, as long as the technology is up to standard, we will definitely use this exploration method."
The advisory group was made up of the top experts in the world. They quickly understood and figured out the whole process.
A certain detector discovered the civilization of Earth, so the aliens paid attention to this place and chose an area with humans to land the detector. During this period, because they were completely unfamiliar with Earth, they didn't pay attention to any of their signals.
After a few days, they successfully deciphered all the languages and had a general understanding of the entire civilization of Earth. Then, they controlled the bodies of the Earthlings to come out and contact them.
This was the performance of an alien civilization that discovered Earth for the first time.
The advisory group realized that they were a little misled by the science fiction movie because of their inexperience.
If the aliens came to Earth in person like in the movie, then they should suspect that this was not the first time they came to Earth.
"This is the first time in the truest sense!"
"Wallace, express our willingness to coexist peacefully with her. We must leave the best impression on the aliens."
Seeing Wallace talking and laughing with the aliens, all the representatives of the Global Council rushed to the city hall to wait.
Under Wallace's guidance, the woman slowly floated up the steps. Two rows of honor guards stood at the door and opened it for her.
Hundreds of representatives were already standing and waiting inside, greeting her with smiles on their faces. On both sides, there were bands of the highest standards playing soothing and formal music.
In response, the woman's face was calm.
"This is the Global Council …" Wallace introduced the representatives of the Five Permanent Shareholders.
Seeing that the woman had no intention of shaking hands at all, they didn't care. Instead, they smiled and said, "We are very willing to respect the culture of your civilization. This is the first time we meet, and we don't know how to express our enthusiasm for your arrival."
The woman showed a very standard smile and said, "You don't have that organ …"
"…" The corner of Wallace's mouth twitched.
Although he understood that the woman meant that they, Earthlings, didn't have the body parts used in the etiquette of the Black Sphere civilization, these words still sounded awkward.
"Then …"
"Gugu …"
A representative was just about to say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do? Then he heard the woman's stomach growl.
Everyone was stunned. Was this her stomach growling?
A member of the advisory group immediately said in the channel, "The etiquette of the other party! This is the etiquette of the other party! "
"She said that we don't have the corresponding organ, but we can still make such a sound!"
"The ventriloquist master will be here in 30 seconds!"
The expressions of the representatives of the Five Permanent Shareholders did not change as they waited for the ventriloquist master to arrive.
However, at this moment, the woman smiled and said, "I injected the substitute with the energy needed by the body, but the stomach is still thirsting for food."
Everyone understood. The human body would still be hungry just by replenishing energy. Just like a fat person, all the fat in his body was energy storage, but his stomach would still growl when his stomach was empty.
They valued the other party so much that even some of the physiological movements of the human body were considered to be the etiquette of the other party that was full of profound meaning.
Seeing this, the woman said, "My body is your race. In all places that involve this body, you can just treat her as one of your own."
With that said, she stretched out her right hand in a standard manner.
