Chapter 62: Saving the Blue Star Begins with Seducing Zhao Yu!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Alien fleets are coming, you say?!”
Chief Engineer Yang asked in confusion.
“It could be a ruse, or it could be true!”
Zhuge Tao replied with a faint smile. “If it’s real, the aliens on the moon are willing to offer their technology, helping us establish a defense system. This implies that they’re confident enough to face the alien fleet. Why else would they make such an effort?”
” But if it’s fake, then their motive is to create a tense atmosphere and urge our Earth’s technology to develop vigorously…”
“In addition, who said that the laser defense system must be used to resist alien invasion?”
“When our goal is achieved, the laser defense system will most likely be turned into a weapon that can destroy the Earth…” Zhuge Tao said with a solemn expression.
…..
Horse racing?
After hearing this deduction, many representatives felt a chill run down their spines, and they felt suffocated.
“Hold on,” Liu Ning interjected, “According to your theory, they wouldn’t have to disclose to us that the universe adheres to the Dark Forest Law, would they?” “That’s right!”
Zhuge Tao affirmed with a nod, “This is the crux of my logical dilemma. They didn’t have to disclose this information, yet they did…”
” What I can think of is more logical. The universe does indeed follow the rules of the Dark Forest. They are just telling the truth…”
Colonel Chu interjected,”If that’s the case, aren’t they afraid that we’ll figure out their motives?’”‘
Zhuge Tao shook his head, a cloud of bewilderment in his eyes. The cognitive processes of the moon’s aliens significantly differed from those of Earth’s humans.
“The only explanation I can conceive,” he began, “is that these moon-dwelling aliens don’t represent the apex of alien civilization…”
” It’s not just technology, but also intelligence. The truly intelligent people will definitely stay in their civilization’s cradle. Those who venture into the universe aboard s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps are likely just crew members and warriors…”
” This also means that the people who rule the alien base on the moon are like Liu Ning, Zhang Tao, and w.a.n.g Dongdong on Earth. They fell to a primitive era. They might have originated from a superior civilization, but they brought only a fraction of it. This results in certain shortcomings in their perception and problem-solving abilities…”
As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Ning, implying that the upper limit of intelligence for aliens on the moon was the same as you. You didn’t even realize that there were flaws in your thinking.
The councilmen presented looked at the other thinkers. Seeing them speechless, they understood that Zhuge Tao’s a.s.sumption had essentially excavated everything substantial. What remained were minor details, lacking in significance.
“Tell me your second hypothesis!” Colonel Chu nodded.”
“The second hypothesis is that the law of the universe forest is false!”
” If it’s fake, hence there must be another way civilizations coexist in the universe…”
” Let’s a.s.sume that there is a law among s.p.a.ce civilizations that forbids the invasion of native planets that have yet to join the universe family…”
” The moon aliens ‘actions are to hide Earth from other civilizations and use it to scheme for benefits…”
” As for what these gains might be, that depends on what’s most in demand among current universal civilizations…”
” Resources, it should not be the issue as the other planets in the solar system have plenty of those as well. There’s no need for them to keep an eye on Earth…”
“I personally think that it might have something related to humans…”
” For example, the intelligent life forms born in each civilization have an upper limit to their apt.i.tude, and the speed at which they comprehend the laws of the universe is varies…”
” Some intelligent life forms might need ten thousand years to develop from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution…”
“As for us earthlings, we can break through and develop at rapid pace in an extremely short time…”
Chief Engineer Yang scratched his head perplexed.” The threshold for the first and second industrial revolutions doesn’t seem to be high, right?!”
“This is what you think as an Earthling!”
Zhuge Tao nodded.” Because you’re already an Earthling, so you will find it easy. But think about it from another perspective. If you were a cat, how would you understand that humans can control light with the flip of a switch?”‘”‘ “Imagine if the majority of civilizations in the universe evolved from cats, dogs, pigs, or even non-carbon-based life forms. Then we humans are the privileged ones. We might not have the greatest potential, but we’re certainly in the upper tier…”
” This also explains why the alien civilization built a canopy and laser defense system for Earth…”
” They want to dominate Earth and use our intelligence and insight to propel their civilization even further…”
Chief Engineer Yang was a little unwilling and questioned again,” Then why didn’t they do this more than five years ago? Why did they have to delay it by five years?”
“If you have to need a reason, there are thousands or even countless of them…”
Zhuge Tao shook his head.” It could be the universe’s laws, or it could be the internal discussion of the civilization that lasted until current event. There are too many possibilities…”
Colonel Chu saw that Zhuge Tao’s two a.s.sumptions were not too far apart of his own thoughts. He did not waste any time and turned to the people from the think tank.
” Now, let’s formulate a strategy based on these two theories!”
The wise men could a.n.a.lyze both scenarios. What important was how to countermeasures them later.
” I’ll tackle on the first one. The universe follows the Dark Forest Law. Our initial strategy is to keep a low profile and try to hide our true intention…”
” Pretend that we still clueless about their ultimate goal. We will engage in superficial daily negotiations with them thus keeping our intellect a par with theirs…” The first to voice about his opinion was a silver-haired old man.
” I’ll handle the second strategy. Maintain a public pretense while secretly establis.h.i.+ng the Blue Moon Research Inst.i.tute on the ground. This will study alien’s technology while subtly allowing the others to discover our actions, making them believe they know our progress. Simultaneously, we set up the real, highly cla.s.sified alien technology research inst.i.tute underground to find ways to counter the aliens…”
” Thirdly, when they they plan to expedite the development of a certain technology on Earth, try to slow down the progress as much as possible to buy time for the final destruction of Earth…”
” The tenth option is to sit back and watch the fight unfold. We’ll wait for the new alien fleet to fight to death with the moon’s alien fleet…”
” Eleventh, kill with a borrowed knife. Reach out the new alien fleet secretly and eliminate the moon aliens…”
” Twelfth, send people to the moon, bypa.s.sing Zhao Yu, and directly connect with the aliens…”
” Nineteen, evade the alien blockade on the moon. Dispatch someone to inform the new alien fleet and allowing Earth become a member of the cosmic family…”
” Twenty, construct a ma.s.sive s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p to carry a portion of human population and escape the solar system…”
” Twenty-first, revive the plan of tunneling through the earth, build an underground city, and preserve the humanity…”
The people from the think tank had come up with many plans. Both scenarios were covered, but they still needed to discuss how to implement them and how they should be executed required further deliberation
At that moment, they had reached a conclusion on the matter that needed to be dealt with first.
” Firstly, we have no power to stop the Earth’s Protective s.h.i.+eld and laser defense system. We can only let them build it…”
” Secondly, in order to stabilize the moon aliens, the resource requirements for the construction of the defense system mentioned by them should be met as much as possible…”
“Third, use a seduction strategy on Zhao Yu to keep the aliens off guard…”
Who could have antic.i.p.ated that a civilization seemingly intent on peace was secretly scheming to obliterate the other party?
