Lan Mu did not continue to discuss this issue.
This was because there was no way to prove it. Perhaps this civilization, which was only 30 light-years away from Earth, was just a special case.
Humans could not even prove whether the laws of science were applicable to the entire universe, let alone art.
Everyone quickly retracted their wandering thoughts. If they continued to diverge their thoughts, it would only conflict with their own materialistic worldview. The scientists would not believe it. Everyone would just fantasize about it for fun.
The scientists of the Lan Bai Society had a very inclusive view of science. After all, they had also come into contact with so-called supernatural things. Those supernatural things were just beyond the nature of Earth.
Big concepts of scientism could accommodate them. In theory, there was no such thing as' unscientific. '
Philosophy of art was also one of the objective concepts of the big universe. This was really unscientific. It was equivalent to proving that the world was idealistic.
Other than Lan Mu, no one was thinking about such a nonsensical matter at the moment. They just treated it as a joke.
Lan Mu looked at the high-power radio wave signal that Eve had just received.
This signal was obviously sent by the civilization's officials. It was many times clearer than the signal of ordinary people.
"Ants? What ants? "
"Huh? Did we ignore them? "
"It seems like we really forgot …"
A few scientists suddenly realized that they were just passing by and did not have any thoughts about the civilization.
They had not finished digesting the technology package, and they still had business to do. They only wanted to observe at a close distance because of some curiosity.
From the beginning, this attitude was very egotistical.
Lan Mu said that there was no need to reply. They would just go and take a look.
It was as if someone was calling them downstairs. When they heard it, they went downstairs to see who was calling them.
Everyone instinctively thought that it was nothing and unconsciously put themselves in a superior position.
When they realized that this inadvertent disregard had caused a series of suspicions for the civilization, they suddenly realized.
The difference in technology brought contempt. They naturally stood from the perspective of an observer because they did not have any purpose.
They came to take a look purely out of curiosity. It was indeed a little thoughtless.
The result was: What are you looking at? I'll fight you if you keep looking!
The Wanderer had an absolute advantage. It had ten plasma cannons and hundreds of laser weapons, as well as a nuclear weapon production line that could be quickly manufactured at any time.
With a speed of three thousand kilometers per second, a civilization that had not entered the era of space colonization did not care at all.
They knew that they didn't have any thoughts about this civilization, but others didn't think so.
The Wanderer finally stopped as it approached the planetary space station.
After scanning the situation on the planet, 60 million soldiers were mobilized, and countless strange-looking machines entered combat mode.
Now it was a little awkward. The Wanderer had only come to observe, but it had caused the other party to make such a big fuss.
"Why don't we make it clear that we're just passing by? We're also very friendly …"
"Isn't that ridiculous? I can see that there is no limit to the suspicion between civilizations. "
"What do you mean no upper limit?"
"Actually, the current situation has nothing to do with us ignoring them. Even if we replied in a friendly manner at the beginning, they would still be suspicious. They might even think that we are deliberately making up excuses and become even more vigilant! "
"Eh? Are you saying that the friendlier we are, the more scared they might be? "
"That's right. Think about it. Even if we carelessly ignored them, they would think that we had ill intentions. This means that from the beginning, they have a preconceived notion that we have a purpose that is not beneficial to them because our technology is obviously higher than theirs and we have the initiative. On this basis, no matter what we do or say, they will be suspicious. "
"If we reply in a friendly manner at the beginning, they will probably be more nervous because they will fall into a kind of self-entanglement. To believe or not to believe? If we don't make any preparations for battle, if we start fighting as soon as we arrive and they are not prepared, the chances of winning are infinitely close to zero. They will definitely take this idea into consideration. "
"But if we have to be prepared for battle, they will wonder if mobilizing the army will cause us to misunderstand. Then they will fight even if they don't want to. We might as well fight. "
"If we are prepared to fight, we still have a chance of winning. After all, we only have one spaceship. Then it is normal to prepare for the worst. As long as they are not stupid, after we express our friendly intentions, we will still see their serious attitude when we come over! "
"The result will not change …"
A few scientists said, realizing that before a complete face-to-face communication and trust were established.
Both sides would greet each other with the most vigilant attitude.
No matter if they ignored them, replied in a friendly manner, or replied in an unfriendly manner.
This civilization would be prepared for the worst and welcome the possible outbreak of war.
A scientist said, "How interesting … Their reactions are very useful for reference."
Another scientist said, "Then what should we do now? Right, since we are just observing, why don't we just ignore them? "
Everyone looked at Lan Mu. He was the one who made the decision. No one could bypass Lan Mu to communicate.
Lan Mu smiled and asked Eve to send a signal in a very relaxed manner.
His attitude was very clear. We are just leisurely on the journey, and we are just observing in passing.
The scientists were speechless. How could they believe such a reply from the emissary?
…
At this moment, the head of the civilization did not believe it. Bullsh * t? Even if they were idle, they were idle.
They had a very intense discussion internally. Generally speaking, no one believed it.
But what could they do if they did not believe it? Attack? They would obviously be at a disadvantage.
So they replied, "What did you do to our star?"
Lan Mu said, "My pet is bathing on it. We will leave after he finishes bathing."
"…"
The head of the civilization slammed the table and said in their language, "Nonsense!"
The higher-ups of the civilization were also in an uproar. Bathing on a star?
One of the higher-ups said angrily, "This must be a perfunctory reply! There must be a great conspiracy! "
"Are we going to fight?"
"No, our chances of winning are too low. The other party has the entire space as their depth, and we can only passively take a beating. We must avoid war. "
Despite the other party's belittling reply, Princeps calmed down and said, "Are they deliberately provoking us? No, they have absolute strength. There is no need for them to do such superfluous things. "
"They have looked down on us from the beginning, but they did not mention a word about their purpose. With their strength, there is no need for them to be secretive … It can't really be like what they said, right?"
Gradually, they realized that if they really wanted to fight, the other party did not need to talk nonsense at all.
Moreover, it was for such a ridiculous reason. If it really was a lie with a purpose, then this kind of lie was too fake.
Unless it was true …
At this moment, the scientists on the Wanderer were surprised by the emissary's reply.
"Emissary, they won't believe you!"
"What can they do if they don't believe me?" Lan Mu said.
"Uh …"
The scientists looked at each other, as if nothing would happen.
Lan Mu said, "We are just passersby. We have already done our best to explain our actions."
"Remember, we don't need them to believe us without a special purpose."
"Eve, hack into their system and store all the information. Then you can leave … "
After all, the scientists did not have the same cosmological outlook as Lan Mu. They were shocked. "This … isn't this taking without asking?"
"Oh?" Lan Mu smiled. "Then tell them and read it."
"Uh … this seems worse …"
…
While the head of the civilization was struggling, a new message came from space.
"When you read this message, we will backup your information network. This is a notice. "
"…"
"This … notice?"
The high-level meeting room of the civilization was dead silent. Angry? They were already numb.
The more aloof and contemptuous the other party was, the calmer they were, and the more they did not dare to act rashly.
"What does this mean? Is this an attack? "
"It seems … it's just the literal meaning."
The head of state suddenly stood up and ordered, "The first battlefield is on the network! Immediately disconnect all the important information from the network and mobilize all the information personnel to resist! We can't do nothing! "
The order was passed down, and the entire civilization was mobilized to resist this information network invasion.
However, only five minutes had passed in Earth time, and they gave up resisting.
The other party was invincible on the network!
Not only that, but the important information carriers that were physically disconnected were also discovered. A powerful signal source connected to them and read the contents there.
The signal source seemed to have a life of its own, and it accurately retrieved the information.
This was the result of the combination of Eve and Lan Mu's Asari transformation. The ability to control the data with self-awareness came from the Asari race.
Physically disconnecting the network was useless. The brain of the Asari race was an extremely powerful signal station.
After another five minutes, all the network data of the civilization was transmitted away.
The heads of state used powerful electromagnetic interference, but it was useless. The conscious signal seemed to be alive, and it could maintain its own structure under the chaotic interference.
"Head of state! All our data has been read! "
"Powerful electromagnetic fields are ineffective!"
For a moment, the ruling class was extremely depressed. They understood that the technological difference was too great.
One of the higher-ups said pessimistically, "Our network is like a toy …"
The head of state was stunned and asked, "Toy? Are they just reading? Is our network down? "
"No … In fact, if the other party had not notified us in advance, we would not have discovered their reading …"
The head of state seemed to have realized something, and he immediately sent a message.
"Ask them when the pet bathing in the star will end …"
"Ah? Head of state, this is obviously a perfunctory answer. We should move underground immediately. Their next attack should be here soon. "
The head of state shook his head and said, "No, ask quickly!"
So they had to broadcast, "Excuse me, when will your pet finish bathing?"
The Wanderer did not answer this question.
Time passed by, and one of the higher-ups said anxiously, "No reply! Looks like they are preparing to attack! "
"No … I understand what the head of state means. If they were going to attack, they should have paralyzed our network just now." Some of the higher-ups also realized.
After a while, a message came from the space station. "The alien spaceship is moving! It is heading towards the star at one percent of the speed of light. "
"Ah …"
When the head of state heard this, he finally sat back down.
He had already believed the other party's words. It seemed that they were really just passing by …
Then he stood up and ordered, "Quick! Send them a radio wave. Say that we wish to establish diplomatic relations with them and engage in friendly cooperation! "
"We have missed a great opportunity!"
