Deep Space Fleet

Ten minutes later, at the exit of the underground city, a dozen Gliese people wearing different clothes walked out. The tallest one is only 1.2 meters tall, which makes the human body look much taller in comparison.

But Zhang Yuan didn't dare to have any contempt. Height and weight were not important, what was important was wisdom.

An intelligent race with an IQ no less than human beings, a race with nuclear weapons and interstellar attack methods, cannot be arbitrarily despised even if it is in a state of decline.

"Welcome all human friends to visit. We seek friendly cooperation between the two sides with an attitude of seeking common ground while reserving differences..."

The leader of the Gliese people is named Gan Yaduo, and he uses the common voice of the Gaia civilization. The translator in the headset quickly translated the meaning.

The two parties shook hands with each other according to human etiquette. The fingers of these pangolins are very thick, with six fingers in total, but they look very flexible.

Welcome according to human etiquette is already a friendly gesture.

Zhang Yuan was a little surprised when he heard that this leader had once served as a diplomat and conducted inspections on human spaceships. At that time, he thought he was an ordinary diplomat, but he did not expect that he was already a high-level leader.

He was quite blind to these pangolins and couldn't tell which one he had seen before...

Diplomat Wang Junpeng leaned close to the earphones and said quietly: "Mr. Zhang Yuan, don't worry so much. It may be that the other party's culture is like this... or it may be that they decided to negotiate peacefully after examining the human condition. "

Zhang Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood the situation.

After the two sides talked briefly for a while, some greeters quickly took all twenty of them to the underground city.

The whole greeting etiquette was very strange. Several Gliese people were sweeping the floor in front with something like a broom. While they were sweeping, the others were walking forward, as if sweeping the floor in front of them and letting them go was the greatest respect for the guests...

However, alien civilization is understandable no matter what culture it is. Adhering to the concept of respecting the other party's culture, Zhang Yuan barely showed any expression.

The defeated and bleak underground city is filled with a gloomy atmosphere, which is similar to the description in the written report. The air here is very humid, and soon a layer of fine water droplets formed on the spacesuit.

Fortunately, these spacesuits have a self-cleaning effect, with a special coating similar to the surface of a lotus flower, and water droplets roll down to the ground.

Zhang Yuan and others did not go too deep. Ahead, through an isolation and disinfection room, was the human living area. They would live in this area for a while.

In order to prevent biochemical contamination and concern for human privacy, Gliese people will not appear in this area.

The moment everyone walked into the living area, the lights suddenly brightened, and they thought they were inside their own spaceship.

Lin Xuanxuan briefly checked the air condition with the medical equipment she carried with her.

"...No harmful microorganisms have been detected for the time being. However, if you can wear a helmet, you should wear a helmet as much as possible. No matter what, you must wear a mask."

"It's impossible to achieve complete disinfection."

Zhang Yuan nodded and looked around.

The room structure is almost the same as that of the Earth Era, similar decoration, and similar lighting effects, which shows that the other party has really put a lot of thought into it... Except that the gravity of this planet is slightly higher, this is actually the Gliese people. Unable to change.

Of course, what the other party doesn't know is that compared to the environment inside the spacecraft, humans actually prefer life under the blue sky and white clouds. It would be even better if the room could be built on the ground.

"Okay everyone, let's take the time to rest for a while...the exchange meeting is about to start. We must act according to each other's schedule. If we miss this opportunity, we will have to wait for who knows how long."

Zhang Yuan turned on a video device in the room, and soon the figure of Gliese Civilization leader Gan Yaduo appeared on the screen.

"Dear human leaders, I hope you like this living area."

"It's really nice. Thank you very much for your hospitality!"

After a brief handover, at four o'clock in the afternoon, after a few hours of rest, an art and science exchange meeting was hastily arranged.

Although all the diplomatic teams are a little tired after flying in the sky for several days, if the opportunity is missed, this group of Gliese people will have to sleep for more than ten days, which is unbearable for humans. torture.

At this exchange meeting, in front of a large audience, several human artists first performed music belonging to humans, some of which were self-created songs, and some of which were classic music of earth civilization.

The other party used a very strange musical instrument, a shell-like stone, which sounded like a variant of a wooden fish, dong dong dong, dong dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong.

Zhang Yuan looked at Lin Xuanxuan next door, who seemed to be enjoying the alien music, and quickly touched her and winked. It was boring to be idle anyway, so he planned to close his eyes and rest his mind, and take the opportunity to take a nap...

Lin Xuanxuan understood and blinked.

This guy is always like this, he wants to sleep as soon as he comes out...

Next, the artists exchanged instruments with each other and began to instruct each other on how to play.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious for a while.

In fact, some human instruments, especially the violin, are extremely difficult. When played by ordinary people, they can only make a lot of noise. But some musicians on the other side still showed great interest.

"Crunch..."

Sure enough, an unpleasant noise was made. The musician was a little unconvinced and curious, so he tried tirelessly.

The other party's instrument also requires a lot of attention to use, and it is not so easy to master.

Zhang Yuan has never been interested in these things, but many humans on the spacecraft, including his wife, are interested, and that is enough...

As long as we understand each other's culture and have mutual understanding, there will be a breakthrough point, and communication will be much smoother.

In the next few days, there were exchanges on painting, sculpture, and dance.

To Zhang Yuan's expectation, human artists' artistic evaluation of the Gliese civilization was actually quite high!

This kind of evaluation does not mean deliberately trying to please the other person, but it is an evaluation from the heart.

You can often hear discussions in the living area about what kind of artwork contains what kind of emotions, what kind of thinking is expressed, etc... There are differences and even quarrels in some places.

"Lao Guo, what do you think? Is there any art you like?" Zhang Yuan patted a middle-aged man on the shoulder.

A sculpture artist surnamed Guo was commenting enthusiastically: "Hundreds of thousands of years of accomplishments are indeed quite remarkable! Look at this sculpture, it has a beauty of power and contains a strong desire to fight against nature. mood!"

"I know, it's the kind of depression that science can't be born for a long time!" Lao Guo said louder and louder, more and more enthusiastic, "And it's a kind of abstract beauty! It feels like someone is hammering steel, you Is there that hammering sound?"

Zhang Yuan took a closer look and saw that the sculpture was just a piece of stone with some crooked lines randomly carved on it, and there was no sound of "dong-dong" being tempered at all.

It’s really… baffling!

"It's a pity that we didn't see the real work...it's just an image. If it were a real work, it would be even more shocking! Why don't you show us the real work? Isn't it in this city? It's possible...Sigh."

Zhang Yuan glanced at the artist surnamed Guo very strangely, and sighed in his heart, "These freaks... are simply people from a different world from us."

All in all, things seem to be going very smoothly so far...
