"I'm so full …" Sister You said faintly in her mind.
Mo Qiong smiled and said, "You have to leave something for others to remember. After all, because of the technological gap, it's very abrupt for you to stay and discuss some trades."
Of course, Sister You understood that this was something they had discussed early on. They wanted some special production on Earth to attract the attention of the aliens.
Otherwise, the entire Earth civilization would be worthless. That would really kill the conversation.
Between art and food, they finally chose food. After all, it would be strange if the aliens could appreciate art. The generation gap of art must be bigger than technology.
Food was different. After all, the aliens had Earthlings as substitutes. It was normal for the aliens to feel happy when they tasted Earthlings' delicacies with Earthlings' bodies.
"You can relax a little and let them take the initiative to propose a trade," Mo Qiong said.
"I know what to do." Sister You smiled.
In the afternoon, they drank some tea and chatted with the representatives of various countries.
The Wuchang proposed to visit Earth, the world's largest industrial park, the Antarctic man-made ecological zone, the underwater city, and the tallest skyscraper in history. These had all become wonders of the new century with the progress of the times.
However, Sister You refused without hesitation.
"I'm not interested in visiting those building blocks. Your technology is only at the nano level."
The Wuchang's eyes lit up. As expected, these modern pride was worthless in the eyes of the aliens.
How could they not know this? They were just taking advantage of the aliens' happiness to lead the topic to technology.
"Your civilization's technology must be very great. May I ask what level your technology has reached?" The Chinese representative took the opportunity to ask.
Sister You tilted her head and glanced at the other party.
The Chinese representative hurriedly said, "Please don't misunderstand. This is just a primitive civilization's yearning and curiosity for a developed civilization."
Sister You smiled and said, "It's not wrong to be curious. Curiosity is a necessity for wisdom. Without source power, no matter how high your wisdom is, it's useless.
"However, our generation gap is too big. I can only briefly describe my own civilization."
The representatives said, "Please elaborate."
Sister You said, "Our civilization's history is 100,000 years longer than yours. 100,000 years ago, we rushed out of our mother planet. However, at that time, we started a civil war that swept through the entire race and almost destroyed ourselves. "
The representatives were stunned. They were the same! However, that war ended very quickly.
"Because of the war, we ran even harder into space. Finally, after a few thousand years, our race spread throughout the entire star system. I thought that there would never be another war. Even if there was, it wouldn't destroy us, who already have more than a dozen planets. "
"However, in the war that followed, we almost destroyed the entire solar system. Many planets were reduced to dust."
"In the end, it took another few thousand years to walk out of the star system from a satellite colony. In order to not destroy ourselves because of increasingly powerful weapons, we could only continue to expand our living space. Civilization had finally developed to the point where any citizen could explore the stars and occupy them. Until ten thousand years ago, our race multiplied like a virus and quickly spread throughout the entire galaxy. "
Everyone was shocked. "You guys are all over the Milky Way?"
"No, it's the one that's 2.5 million light-years away from you. As for the Milky Way Galaxy, it took our family dozens of generations to get here, "Sister You said.
Many of the representatives, as well as the advisory team behind them, were dumbfounded. They were instantly shocked.
The Andromeda Nebula! With a diameter of 220,000 light years, it was actually completely occupied by a single race.
"Haven't you encountered any enemies?" The representatives asked in surprise.
Sister You said, "Yes, but they are all behind us. Some have been wiped out, and some are still continuing. In fact, life is very rare, civilization is even rarer, and our biggest enemy is ourselves. For a period of time, in the Andromeda Nebula, family conflicts would trigger a war that swept through tens of thousands of galaxies. Fortunately, no matter how we fight, the entire galaxy is our race. "
With her description, the representatives somewhat understood the situation of that civilization.
The universe was so vast, and a race had no opponents of the same level. After eliminating some civilizations that could barely be considered enemies, they entered an era where individuals could freely enclose their land.
The number of galaxies in the Andromeda Nebula was more than the population of the black ball civilization. Because of the frequent civil wars, many people in the form of families, families, and even individuals developed outward, far away from the main body of the civilization.
Now, one person could enclose a large area of ownerless galaxies.
It was like eggs were not placed in one basket. Even if weapons were developed to the point of destroying the world, they would no longer destroy their entire race. Life had spread like a virus to the point where it was almost impossible to go extinct.
Now, it had spread to the Milky Way.
"Just a hundred thousand years ago when we stepped into space, is the difference so big?" The advisory group was somewhat desperate and even unwilling.
One was a civilization that sat on more than one billion galaxies, and the other only had one planet. Although the moon and Mars had been explored, they had not yet carried out immigration.
There was only a difference of 100,000 years between them, and this difference allowed the other party to drive spaceships and probes and 'race horses' in the vast interstellar space, while they still lived on Earth and looked up at the starry sky.
What was 100,000 years? Even aliens were just an ignorant race like the Stone Age on Earth 100,000 years ago.
It could be said that at a certain time in the past, the two civilizations were at the same stage and were both primitive.
After all, the ancient ape-men existed millions of years ago, the homo erectus existed two million years ago, and the early homo sapiens appeared 200,000 years ago.
In such a long time, 100,000 years was nothing at all. There was even a slight possibility that at a certain stage, the Earthlings were ahead of the other party.
In theory, in millions of years, if the Earthlings were one step faster, the butterfly effect would have allowed them to step into space 100,000 years earlier.
However, it was this one step slower that made the two civilizations as different as heaven and earth.
One was an empty galaxy with almost no opponents, and the other had to face the cruel reality of existing in the territory of a foreign race.
"For the time being, the most advanced indigenous civilization in the Milky Way is you. In theory, if you don't destroy yourselves in another 100,000 years, you should be all over the Milky Way." Sister You laughed.
If it weren't for the fact that they were all top elites of the human race, their mentality would have collapsed when they heard this.
"The situation that the aliens said is actually what we once guessed, that is, we are the first civilization and the universe is very empty."
"But …"
The advisory group couldn't continue. It was too cruel. They were also the first batch, but they were being kept in captivity.
Did humans really have a future?
"We just have to suffer more setbacks. As long as people are still alive, they have to move forward." The Chinese astronomer smiled.
In the advisory group, many experts looked at the old astronomer. It was he who led the moon factory project.
At the same time, everyone thought of the country behind him. In more than a hundred years, it miraculously overtook the world.
Twice challenging the world, once establishing a country, and once reviving it.
If all of them only knew to ask themselves if there was a future, then there would really be no future.
It was precisely because one generation did the work of two generations and suffered the hardships of three generations that they grasped the future and completed the great ambition.
Even if they were behind by 100,000 years, would humans give up?
