"...A civilization 20 light-years away has come to our satellite and is carrying out colonization activities??"

When the Gliese people in the conference room heard the news, Qi Sensen was startled.

They deeply know how huge the astronomical figure of 20 light-years is, and how much power is needed to cross it!

It's simply unbelievable, even... inexplicable! Because this kind of colonial activity has no benefit at all.

"Our place is just an ordinary star field, right? Why did you choose this place?"

"It may be because of the existence of liquid water...the living environment is similar to ours."

"However, they are unlikely to overcome our microbial environment, so what if we have liquid water on our planet?"

Discussing in a hurry, all Gliese people are very anxious.

"...That is to say, the electromagnetic waves that this civilization called human beings have been sending out before are all to detect whether there is intelligent life here? If there is no response, will they come to interstellar colonization?"

However, with the idea that one thing more is worse than one thing less, their ancestors did not reply anything...

This thing has already happened, there is no room for regret.

There was a long silence in the small, narrow room.

I saw the astronomer continue to say: "Everyone, please be calm and calm. According to the observation results these days, the opponent's technological strength is not as advanced as we imagined, but is at a relatively delicate stage... In short, it is not powerful."

"Their spacecraft is about 300,000 kilometers away from us, and there is only one. There is no artificial gravity, and there is no technology beyond our expectations."

It pulled out a photo it had just taken and showed it to everyone, with a blurred image of the Earth Era on it.

"...Yes, there is only one mothership. This mothership is quite large and should carry a large number of people. I even suspect that in order to cross such a long distance, this mothership does not have the tonnage to load any weapons."

"Using our most powerful interstellar missiles and loading some nuclear warheads, there should be a possibility of hitting and destroying the opponent's mothership... In this way, the opponent loses the mothership and will soon be extinct here."

After a while of silence, another Gliese yelled: "Choose war, Davian, are you crazy? In our current state, it is impossible to endure a war!"

"In addition, where did the nuclear warheads come from...According to the peace treaty, we have destroyed all these weapons long ago...It has even been destroyed for tens of thousands of years!"

"Yeah, we don't have such weapons..."

"There hasn't been a war for a long, long time."

"We don't even have enough soldiers..."

Many Gliese people are discussing the feasibility of this plan. The current situation of the entire civilization is really bad...

"...Even if the nuclear bomb production line is restarted, relying on the industrial capabilities of our city, we can only build one interstellar rocket within half a year at most, plus a few nuclear warheads, even if it hits, there is no possibility of completely destroying the opponent's mothership ...It will only lead to an endless civilized war for no reason!"

"Can we afford the consequences?"

After hesitating for a while, the astronomy expert named Davian seemed a little unwilling, and said again: "If..."

"what if?"

"...Human civilization is developing our satellites, and as time goes by, its industrial capabilities will become more and more powerful. If you want to launch an attack, you must do it as soon as possible, instead of delaying it here...Otherwise, Such an opportunity will slip away in the blink of an eye.”

The leader was silent for a while, "Is it possible for them to leave?"

"The probability is very low... They came here through a long interstellar voyage. The fuel in the spaceship has probably been exhausted, and it is impossible to carry out the next interstellar voyage. Letting them leave here is nothing like letting them die Two different..."

Another pangolin said angrily: "Why is this happening? Could it be...the population is so large that it can't even accommodate a planetary system... If so, it is likely to be a civilization with a tendency to colonize and expand infinitely outward!"

Thinking that two different intelligent civilizations are accommodated in the same planetary system, while the other is flourishing and has a tendency to colonize and expand; while the own is weak and the people have no fighting spirit, every Gliese person here is shocked There was a faint sense of panic.

"Don't be nervous, maybe it's a friendly civilization! They sent a large number of electromagnetic wave signals in advance, which should be the meaning of inquiry, because we didn't reply, so they mistakenly thought it was a land of no man... It shows that this civilization has a basic civilization. thinking logic and etiquette culture.”

"Maybe we can try to communicate!"

"We can work together in friendship...no one likes war!"

There was a noisy quarrel in the whole room, and there were great differences of all kinds.

"Enough!" The leader roared heavily, suppressing all voices, and then it returned to normal, "This is not a risk that our city can take, and other cities really have no reaction to this matter. ?"

"They... have no opinion."

"What do you mean by no opinion?"

"It's just that there is no opinion, no attitude, how long you can hide, at most during this time, produce some weapons that can protect yourself, it is impossible to launch an attack... You also know what the outside city looks like, there is no It is impossible to afford a war between civilizations."

After discussing for a while, these high-level officials decided to produce some weapons that could protect themselves first, but they didn't want to launch an attack first.

"Hey, let's talk peacefully after we have a certain strength... It would be great if we can get along in peace."

A scholar jumped up angrily when he heard such remarks of surrender, "What, peace talks? This is the home of the Gliese people! Do you think all civilizations are friendly civilizations?"

"We have no conflict of interest...why the war?"

Another person also said: "Yeah, we just hide in the ground like this... What does it matter to us whether the civilization of the other party is good or bad? As long as we develop enough weapons to protect ourselves, there is nothing wrong with the other party's attacking us." What's the point?"

"As long as we have the ability to attack each other and threaten each other, this peace can last forever."

To the anger of some Gliese people, there are not just one but many dovish remarks! Those who even agree to peaceful negotiations occupy the vast majority of the entire civilization, including their supreme leaders!

Their city is not bad, and they can seriously discuss countermeasures here.

The rest of the cities... are still in that state of drunkenness and dreaming, and have no determination to start a war at all.

At this point in the discussion, it couldn't help feeling sad again...

This is a civilization that has completely sunk... It cannot be saved, and there is no good way to save it.

Almost all the people are indifferent to what happened in the outside world, just hiding in the underground city. Even if they are threatened with death, they still have an attitude of indifference... Unless the sharp knife really cuts the skin, it is possible to jump up and resist, that is, resist for a second or two, and then lie obediently on the ground.

It's just... unreasonable!

"War! We need a war to save the entire civilization and cheer everyone up!" The scholar thought in his heart: "If it fails, let's die together..."

The other Gliese who reported the same idea also looked at each other cautiously, as if they had made up their minds.

What human civilization does not know is that because of the appearance of human beings, various differences have arisen within a civilization on the opposite planet of life, and even a political riot has occurred quietly!

The crisis is coming!
