The first thousand four hundred and twenty-nine chapters are like an enemy
Perhaps the impact of the three views brought by suddenly communicating with an alien civilization was too huge, or perhaps the old way of thinking and knowledge restricted Rosetta and Belsetia. They seemed to have never considered the possibilities mentioned in Gaowen. However, this does not mean that they do not have this intelligence. When the fog that temporarily blocked the eyes was revealed in one sentence, they quickly realized the suspiciousness behind this matter.
It is true that they do not understand technologies that are too cognitive beyond cognition, such as ultra-light communication, high-precision deep space exploration, and space navigation. However, if it is just a conceptual level, it is not unimaginable, and even even if it is impossible to imagine, they can find ways to keep up with the topics discussed by Gao Wen, Enya, Milmina, and think about specific technologies within their own understanding. However, the "reasons" behind the technology are simple and interoperable.
The development of technology must have its own rules, and a normal and healthy civilization must have its own complete technical path to follow. Behind a specific technical product, there must be a complete set of pre-theory and derivatives. If a group knows how to melt metals, they must know what a furnace is (or something with similar functions). If they don’t know, it can only mean that their smelting technology is “a problem”.
All signs show that the sending civilization is very suspicious in this regard, of course, it can only be said to be "suspicious" at this stage.
"These can only be our guesses," Gao Wen added slowly when he saw several figures at the round table falling into deep thought. "After all, we don't know what kind of civilization the opposite is, nor what principle the super-light communication equipment they use is based on. We can only speculate on 'them' based on the knowledge we know, but perhaps the truth is just because their communication equipment has malfunctioned, or they are busy with other things... in the face of the fog on the astronomical scale, we cannot assert anything."
"But at least one thing is certain, we must respond to this signal," Rosetta turned the ruby ring on his finger, which was his habitual action when he was thinking. "They already know our existence, and now it seems that they have not been able to reach our planet in an instant, so we need to fight for a little... initiative, even if this initiative is bluffing."
"This matter requires the assistance of the Siren," Belsetia looked at Gao Wen, "At present, only they have the kind of superluminal communication equipment in their hands. Are they willing to help?"
"Don't worry about this. When I learned about their repair progress, I had already discussed it with the Siren Ambassador. They expressed their willingness to lend the communication array," Gao Wen nodded. "But... the communication equipment is not in good condition and can only be used temporarily now. If we simply respond to the signal, it may be okay, but we basically cannot undertake long-term communication tasks. If we really want to communicate with 'them', we may have to completely repair that thing."
"Full repair..." Rosetta frowned, "I'm afraid that all countries on the continent are powerless in this matter, the Dragon Clan... Well, the Dragon Clan is afraid that they can't help. It is said that the technology used by the Siren is very special."
Gao Wen said solemnly: "Thorough repair work requires long-term consideration. Let us start with what can be done. The most urgent task now is to let the various "Star Resolver" groups cooperate and summarize all the information about alien signals that we have mastered in one place. We need an efficient, accessible, special department directly responsible for the top leaders of the alliance to deal with the "Alien Civilization", formulate the "first contact" information text as soon as possible, and complete the encoding as soon as possible. All of this must be completed within a few days, and the faster the better.
"In addition, I will contact Siren to prepare their superluminal communication arrays, and at the same time prepare monitoring stations everywhere to receive feedback signals from 'them' at any time..."
"In addition," Rosetta tapped the tabletop, "not only should we consider the response signal, but also consider the response signal. Although we cannot be sure whether our response is really meaningful, our army and government should make some preparations. At the worst possible possibility, something may come directly to our world through this "call of star space". Perhaps, as you said, a fleet will come to our planet, and even if these do not happen, we must avoid the chaos and panic caused by the leak of news."
"Other things need to be prepared are our scholars, scholars in various fields," Belsetia said immediately, "Linguists, astrologists, magicians, professionals in logic and negotiation... no one knows what 'they' want to talk to us, even if they are really not hostile, communication itself is a huge challenge."
Enya watched all this quietly from the side. The former "Peak of God" seemed to be thinking. She watched the leaders of the three most powerful empires in the world responding to a "dialogue" with an almost enemy attitude, but she did not feel that the preparations they made at the moment were too nervous, because she knew very well that what was about to happen was worthy of this level of caution.
This is a situation that even the gods have never faced before. The mortals have not stepped into the starry sky, but the starry sky has already come to their faces.
"At the same time, there is also the Theocratic Council," Enya finally spoke during the discussion between the three imperial leaders, "Don't ignore the impact this incident has caused to the gods."
Enya's words made everyone on the scene nervous in an instant.
Gao Wen looked into the lady's eyes: "You mean, communication with this alien signal may cause the gods to 'out of control'?"
"It should not be out of control. According to my experience, 'final disobedience' must strictly follow the two principles of 'indisputable transgression' and 'direct contact of mortal individuals to the external system'. In other words, as long as the fact that one can justify itself in the belief system and the gods can 'little themselves' will not trigger the final disobedience. Under this premise, there is no essential difference between dialogue with alien civilizations and looking up to see the sky, it is considered a deniable indirect contact..."
Enya explained these knowledge that was once the highest secret of the gods to Gaowen and others, and whether it was Belsetia or Rosetta, they listened very seriously at this moment.
At the same time, she continued: "But even if it does not trigger the final disobedience, this will be the closest action we have to the boundary so far from information outside the closed system, actively casting the eyes of the outside world, and "extraordinary contact" beyond all thought cognitive systems. This is a challenge for every god who is still in the position of gods... and we all know that some gods in this season of civilization are actually not so good..."
Inexplicably, Gao Wen suddenly thought of the scene he saw over the realm of the three gods when he was exploring the Kingdom of God on the Sentinel's cruise ship.
Indeed, the state of some gods is really not very good. Maybe they will really go crazy because humans and aliens are connected to each other...
"As you respond to that signal and establish a true ‘communication’ with it, some gods are very likely to have abnormal movements," Enya said slowly, teaching his own experience. "The Council of the Theocracy should closely monitor the situation of all sects in the world, and always understand whether there are signs of pollution, false statements and illusions among believers everywhere. There may be abnormal 'oracles', or there may be sudden changes in temperament and 'saints' who claim to be 'revelation'. These are signals that a god is about to lose control.
"In this regard, I suggest that if such a situation occurs, we should immediately reduce communication with alien civilizations, purify the participants of the project at level 2 or above, isolate and monitor the specific personnel of the specific churches that produce visions, and apply the comfort of deep-sea runes. In fact, if conditions permit... I even recommend that all personnel involved in the "interstellar communication" and even the entire research facility be placed in an isolation environment of the anti-divine barrier, because these people are very likely to become "abnormal individuals" in the trend of thought that lure the crazy gods. The "anti-divine barrier" you are using now has been tested by practice and has been proven to temporarily cut off the connection between gods and mortals..."
"Ah, I can prove that that thing is really useful," Milmina twitched, "I can even hang a barrier to chat with mortals without worrying about pollution."
After saying that, she quickly emphasized to Gao Wen: "I have prepared a case."
"Can you use the anti-divine barrier to temporarily leave the gods' sight to alleviate pollution..." Gao Wenze nodded thoughtfully, and then couldn't help but look at Enya, "These are all very valuable suggestions. I didn't expect that you have learned this level of knowledge about the technology used by the Theocracy Council."
"You invited me to be a senior consultant to the Theocracy Council. I don't want to be a mascot for being a mess," Enya smiled, with a gentle and quiet smile. "As the only individual who has experienced the final disobedience and has survived after two times, I think I still have some experiences in divine life, which can come in handy now."
"Of course I hope we don't need these experiences..." Amoen muttered, "Okay, now all aspects of things seem to have been discussed, are there any other missing?"
Gao Wen looked around every figure around the round table. After a moment, he nodded gently: "It seems that you can't think of anything to add for the moment. Let's come here today. We will start to execute as planned. If there is any situation, we will contact this 'encrypted space' as soon as possible, and that's it."
Rosetta nodded slightly, and the ruler of Tifon, who always had a serious expression, stood up: "I hope we made the right choice today."
His figure gradually dissipated into the air.
Immediately afterwards, the Silver Queen Belsetia also stood up, and she smiled at Gao Wen: "Our world has been really not very stable over the years."
One by one, one figure stood up from the round table and gradually disappeared. Finally, only Gao Wen himself was left in the vast sea of white flowers. A breeze blew from not far away, and the flowers and grass leaves made a rustling sound while rubbing. A breath seemed to appear out of thin air and entered Gao Wen's perception. He looked back and saw Belltila standing quietly behind him.
"I remember not long ago, you only had to consider the war in a kingdom," Beltila sighed softly, "at that time, the biggest crisis in the world seemed to be just a group of monsters sealed in high walls and dark cultists like the Death of Everything... But suddenly, the problem you have to face was so great that it even exceeded the world's understanding of the world."
Gao Wen shook his head: "The Demon Tide and the Gods... In fact, the problems we face have not changed from beginning to end. It's just that as our vision expands, we finally see everything about this giant beast."
"So sometimes I can't help but think of a saying that ignorance is a reward for sentient beings. If ignorance, sentient beings don't have to know what horrible looks like this giant beast, but just take its breath as the biggest challenge in the world. There is no need to consider the out-of-control gods, the demon tide that will come at any time, or the inexplicable challenges in the starry sky above your head. Just prepare a shield and a long sword, and people can fall asleep peacefully."
"But this world will not stop operating because of people's ignorance... Well, the gods may really do it, but unfortunately, sentient beings have to face far more than the gods," Gao Wen sighed softly, "Even if we don't consider the existing crises on our planet, there are countless stars above our heads."
"I think I understand why you often turn your eyes to the stars. It turns out that the future of all of us is really between the stars," Belltila smiled and shook her head. Then she seemed to suddenly "heard" something, and her expression changed slightly. "Brother, I received a communication request from the Deep Blue Well... It is a high priority communication."
"Where is Ophelia?" Gao Wen was a little surprised. He didn't understand why Ophelia suddenly chose to contact herself through the neural network. "Why didn't she come directly as Veronica... Forget it, connect, maybe it's a special situation."
“Yes, communication is moving into encrypted space.”
Belltila said with a slightly lowered head, and then an invisible wind suddenly blew across the vast flower field. The next second, Gao Wen saw a strange scene suddenly appearing in the flower field. An illusory open room appeared in front of him. Somewhere in the underground fortress of the Deep Blue Well, there were neat and neat ancient devices emitting faint blue light arranged in the center of the room, and vague streamers kept flying over the devices, like countless fireflies.
Ophelia Norton stood between these devices, using the "doll" incarnation that was exactly the same as Ophelia Norton in history, and she seemed to be checking her "territory" herself.
"Ophelia," Gao Wen said, "I didn't expect you to find me in this way what happened?"
The figure who seemed to be checking the equipment then turned around, and a gentle and familiar voice came into Gawain's ears: "This is the oldest storage array in the Deep Blue Well. After the chaos magic energy in the wasteland was calmed down, some of the devices here resumed operation, and I found something... extraordinary here."
Gao Wen frowned slightly: "What an extraordinary thing?"
