After Feitian arrived in the orbit of Planet No. 1, through the radar satellite, it saw an incredible scene underground on the illuminated side of the planet.

Underground passages criss-crossing like a dense spider web.

A maze of underground buildings.

Even the scorching surface of the planet is carved with countless rune-like lines, like a blackboard filled with various geometric lines and figures.

Others are like the lines on a large-scale integrated circuit board - this is actually the highway of the three-eyed man.

There is also a large shiny lake-like thing - this is the Three-Eyed Man's solar power station.

And on the radar reflection map, there are a large number of underground facilities such as factories, power stations, cities, etc., which are so densely packed that they almost fill the underground space of this planet.

"Amazing civilization."

Yun Xinghe and others were stunned. Although they had not seen an alien show up yet, they had already paid great attention to these traces of civilization.

Then, the next thing to consider is how to establish normal communication with this civilization.

The crew members on the Feitian had no clue.

As the captain, Yun Xinghe was also scratching his head and not knowing what to do.

"Grandpa, what should we do next? How can we communicate with the three-eyed man?"

"I don't know much about this either. You can think of a solution on your own. After all, you have studied "Cosmic Diplomacy", but I haven't, grandpa."

""Cosmic Diplomacy"?"

Yun Xinghe's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, he had a solution!

Riddles.

The process of how to establish communication between two different civilizations is actually a process of guessing.

What should we do if we want to understand each other quickly when no one understands each other's language, writing, and culture, and there are huge differences in writing and culture between different civilizations, making it very difficult to understand them?

Guessing riddles is a very good way.

For example, if you want to express "friendliness" and "dialogue" to a strange civilization, how should you express it?

Use picture comparison.

For example, there are two pictures. In one picture, two people are shaking their fists and glaring at each other; in the other picture, two people are sitting on a grass field, holding hands, smiling and talking...Both pictures are played again, and finally Fixed in the picture of smiling and talking, there is no doubt that the meaning expressed is "friendly".

For another example, there are two pictures. One of them is filled with flames and explosions, which symbolizes war; the other picture is that the door of the spaceship opens and a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes walks out. The welcoming crowd on both sides holds a symbol of welcome in their hands. flowers, and a group of doves symbolizing peace flying over the horizon, so of course the latter picture also represents "friendliness."

In short, by using the most intuitive picture comparison, even two civilizations that do not understand each other at all can understand and guess the meaning, and then put down their vigilance and hostility and try to establish deeper communication.

In fact, there is another way to save time and effort, which is to capture (kidnap) one or several individuals directly from the other party's civilization, and study all aspects carefully. This efficiency is much faster than slow guessing.

However, if you adopt this method, you must act covertly and cannot be discovered by the other party's civilization, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings.

Yun Xinghe still planned to try the "guessing method" first. If the three-eyed person's brain circuit couldn't understand it, he would try the second method.

…

After the giant spaceship arrives at the top of the planet.

The three-eyed man has been living in fear.

There are still hundreds of thousands of water droplets left, but they have not been sent out because these water droplets are undergoing emergency modification. One water droplet can accommodate 1,000 refugees. If the Three-Eyed People are destined to perish, these hundreds of thousands of water droplets can Sprinkle the civilizational fire of the three-eyed people to all planets.

But the strange thing is that the giant spaceship overhead has never launched an attack.

Instead, hundreds of small, square boxes were dropped.

After landing, these small boxes illuminated a light curtain and began to play a short video over and over again.

Several scenes appeared in the video:

The first two pictures are comparison pictures. In the first picture, the planet was blown to pieces by a powerful weapon. In the second picture, the planet was intact, but a white flag was erected, and the three-eyed man threw away the weapon in his hand.

The video was frozen at the second frame for a while.

The third picture is of the three-eyed man walking out of the underground base and boarding the giant spaceship.

The fourth picture is a negotiation dialogue in a giant spaceship.

The fifth screen shows a map with a red dot flashing in the center - indicating the meeting place.

The sixth screen is a countdown clock, counting down 24 hours - indicating that time is limited.

The information conveyed by these six pictures is very clear. Yun Xinghe believes that if these aliens' brains have no big problem with their understanding, they should be able to understand what they mean.

Inside the underground base.

Seeing the continuously rotating images in this video, it only took the three-eyed person a few minutes to decipher the meaning.

"They want us to give up resistance."

"Send diplomats, board their ships, and negotiate peace."

"The fate of the three-eyed man lies in the outcome of this negotiation."

"We have a limited amount of time to think about it and they won't have to wait long."

Through the information waves emitted by the brain, Dr. Heng translated the meaning of these paintings.

There was a commotion below.

A slightly excited commotion.

"Great, they don't plan to destroy us right away! There is still a possibility of survival for the Three-Eyed Man civilization."

"Negotiation, we accept negotiation!"

"Send our best diplomats out and use the sharpest words to let these evil outsiders choose to leave!"

"Dr. Heng, you are the smartest person among our three-eyed people. Go and negotiate with them. The future of the three-eyed people depends entirely on you!"

The three-eyed man's president said hopefully, placing all his hopes on Dr. Heng.

Dr. Heng nodded and accepted the task.

…

18 hours later.

Through the connecting spacecraft, the negotiators sent by the Three-Eyed Man entered the Feitian.

The flat disk-shaped spacecraft, which is only thirty centimeters in diameter and looks like a UFO toy, is parked in the pressurized cabin at the bottom of the Feitian.

After the air pressure reaches equilibrium, the green light turns on, indicating that the people in the small spacecraft can disembark.

A gangway was lowered from the flat disk-shaped spaceship, and down the gangway, several small people the size of peanuts walked down.

"Oh, God, this...is this the intelligent life of this civilization?"

"What did I see? Am I dreaming? Or hallucinating?"

"I remembered an animation I watched when I was a kid called "Bean-Man". It looked like these aliens."

"I suddenly felt that we were doing something that we couldn't bear to regret in our conscience. We were bullying a group of villains who were thousands of times smaller than us."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Yun Xinghe was still surprised and dumbfounded when he saw the three-eyed man for the first time.

The old man did not fool him.

These aliens are really small and pitiful.

"In the "Galaxy Encyclopedia", the three-eyed people are the smallest intelligent race. The second smallest intelligent race is dozens of times their size."

The old man muttered something in his mind, and then said: "In addition, the three-eyed people are extremely talented. They are the best precision parts processors in the galaxy. They do not eat food, consume less energy, and occupy The place is not big. After the three-eyed race came out of the planet, they were welcomed by almost all civilizations. They are the best human resources, so..."

"I want them all to work for me!"

"forever!"

Yun Xinghe said loudly in his mind, his heart beating loudly.

Although he knew that this pair of three-eyed people was a little unfair, he had already thought about it. In terms of treatment, he would definitely give the three-eyed people the best.

He will be a good boss who cares most about his employees.

…

the other side.

After entering the giant spaceship, they took a commuter car provided by a powerful civilization that was ten times larger than the spacecraft they came on. They passed through a long corridor that could not be seen to the end. In a few minutes, it was equivalent to several centuries. During the long journey, Dr. Heng's mood in the commuter car became increasingly gloomy.

"Such a huge spaceship, such a powerful civilization, can the three-eyed man really escape?"

"If this negotiation doesn't go well and the three-eyed people really die because of me, I will be the biggest sinner who killed trillions of people!"

"If we make too many concessions and the Zhiwei civilization created by the three-eyed people becomes a slave to other civilizations, I will still be the biggest sinner."

"I don't want to be a sinner, I want to save my race!"

With an extremely heavy heart, the commuter bus arrived at the destination of the negotiations - the daily meeting hall in the living area of ​​the spacecraft.

As soon as you enter the hall.

When the intelligent beings of the mysterious civilization all turned their heads and looked at him with extremely curious eyes.

Dr. Heng's body felt violently, as if struck by lightning.

In his small field of vision, he saw an unimaginable scene—several creatures that were too large to understand were looking at him with burning eyes.

Suddenly, I felt despair and despair.

"Sinner, I am really going to become a sinner of the Three-Eyed Clan!"

Dr. Heng muttered to himself, losing all courage in an instant.
