Chapter 136: Continue the Disguise
In the astronomical observation room, Yu Yifeng was hot all over and kept turning back and forth. He felt very anxious now.
When you need to learn, you will regret not having enough knowledge. The same is true for knowledge... Although he knew that human technology was very poor, he never thought that a translation problem could stump humans.
In fact, it was not surprising. All their technology points were added to heavy industry and research on alien creations during this period, and the technology tree was very distorted.
As for the translation of alien languages, they had never considered it at all...
The people on the Noah had no language barriers, and the new human government did not stipulate the so-called official language.
The former lunar base was an international platform with English as the mainstream language. Other languages such as French, Chinese, German, etc. were only popular in a small range in private.
However, since Yu Yifeng came to power, many scientists and ordinary people have also begun to try to speak Chinese. The atmosphere of Chinese is gradually becoming stronger, and there is a trend of keeping pace with English.
In short, people have no language barriers, so no one has spent time studying the problem of "translation" at all.
But this will cause a lot of trouble... Human translation software is too bad, and the translation of alien languages is simply unbearable!
"What do you think?" Yu Yifeng saw that Yuriko seemed to have something to say, so he asked directly.
Yuriko was stunned, and said while thinking: "In fact, we have pretended to be a tough civilization, and there are not many choices for us."
Because of some special abilities, her brain can speed up in a short time, instantly reaching dozens or hundreds of times that of ordinary people. In a way, she is a more talented scientist than Dr. Rimbaud.
"No matter what the other party says, we have very few choices. We can't be tough at one moment and cowardly at another... We even have only one choice - tough!"
Yu Yifeng slapped his head, he felt that Yuriko was right, and these words reminded him.
Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. Now humans have walked on a road of no return.
First, humans can't stand any temptation, and now they must swell their faces and pretend to be fat, and scare people away in one breath.
Second, the logic of human behavior must be consistent. It is impossible to be tough at the beginning and then compromise immediately... Let them know that the solar system is not the place for them!
Humans have even fired ion cannons, and they still want to be weak. Is it possible? Obviously impossible... Tough, must be tough! Yu Yifeng kept reminding himself.
However, there is too little useful information... Yu Yifeng felt that it was not appropriate to just rant without even knowing what the other party said.
What if the other party is just trying to please, will he still rant? Although this possibility is very small, no one can guarantee it.
An astronomer hurried to the side and said something that made Yu Yifeng feel even more difficult.
"Captain, their spacecraft is still in a sub-light speed state, and the speed has dropped a little bit."
... What does it mean? What is the other party's intention in doing this?
Time passed little by little, his brain was working quickly, and he had to find the best decision in the shortest time!
He began to think about what information humans have? The first thing we observed was a string of radio waves, then the infrared spectrum of the spacecraft, and then the rough simulation image...
Finally, there was the dictionary sequence obtained today and a short text. However, the translation of this text was extremely incoherent.
What other information can be mined? !
"We should analyze the first radio received. There may be something important in it!" Yu Yifeng suddenly had an idea. It was very likely that the other party had accidentally leaked it!
He immediately shouted loudly: "Translation... The first radio translation detected, hurry up, translate that paragraph first!"
The experts acted very quickly, imported the data, and started the supercomputer. This time, it took less than five minutes, and dozens of pages of translations were already produced.
This paragraph of translation was long and smelly, and even more confusing.
"Circuit? Left... short circuit... fire?? 40%?? explosion..."
Yu Yifeng glanced at it, and he only felt that this paragraph of text was like something a monkey made by typing on the keyboard. The specific content was completely unclear, and most of it could only be filled in by keywords. Only a few keywords were useful.
He really felt extremely painful. This translation ability was too damn rubbish. In the future, we must urge scientific and technological workers to make up for the shortcomings in this area.
"It should be some radio reports used for alarms, which were leaked somehow..." Wang Yufan said with wide eyes. Some clues can still be seen from some words.
"...The condition of the other spacecraft seems not to be very good." Wang Yufan suddenly became excited, "No, it should be certain! Although I don't know the specific details, the content of this series of reports is so long, there must be many broken places!"
Yu Yifeng's heart moved, it really makes sense. Although I can't figure out the specific content, words like "explosion" appear many times... Or it can be said that there are many problems with alien spacecraft, so a long text report is needed.
Wang Yufan thought for a moment and continued, "This is consistent with what we observed. Large areas of infrared light must be caused by large-scale energy leakage. Maybe a few of their engines exploded, or there was a short circuit somewhere... They must want to find a place to repair and rectify, it must be like this, that is, the solar system!"
Yu Yifeng nodded. He felt that there was nothing wrong with Wang Yufan's statement, and it was almost the same as Dr. Rimbaud's previous conjecture!
The translation of this radio was really timely, making them more convinced of the condition of the other spacecraft - bad, it must be very bad!
Yu Yifeng suddenly made up his mind and said viciously: "So, we should be tougher. They dare not go to war with us under such circumstances! Is that right? We must force them to go to the next star. The solar system is our territory!"
"We must make them get out of here!"
At this time, Dr. Rambo suddenly remembered something and shook his head: "Theoretically, it is true. However, there may be another situation. In this case, such coercion can only have a counter-effect!"
"If, I mean if, the other party's spacecraft is in a very bad state and can't reach the next star? The other party's only hope is to dock here for rectification!"
"If this is really the case, we still have to force each other, which will only lead to the worst result, that is..."
In the end, Rambo said word by word: "-War!"
Yu Yifeng was instantly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, a desperate dog will jump over the wall, and a poor rat will bite a cat. If it is death anyway, the other party will definitely fight... Think about it, if a person who is about to drown in the river suddenly sees a floating wooden board with a crocodile on it, and he does not have the physical strength to swim to the river bank.
Then, he had only one choice, jump on the board and fight the crocodile to the death!
Can humans defeat the damaged alien spaceship? Or not... Unless the other party flies very close, humans can bomb it with nuclear bombs. Other than that, ion cannons, Gauss cannons, and lasers are just to scare people.
Now people have no shortage of research directions, but only lack of time, and there is no need to take huge risks to fight a big battle with the other party.
"... The situation is very chaotic!" Yu Yifeng muttered to himself.
He suddenly sat down and quietly digested the key words in his mind. The final decision still had to be made by him.
He didn't know how damaged the spaceship of this green light civilization was. What was the situation, whether it could reach the next star, and what was the energy situation? These were life-threatening safety information, and the other party would never reveal it.
"It would be best if they could leave, but what if they couldn't? While being tough, we must leave them some way out, and we can't let them jump off the wall in desperation!"
Yu Yifeng had a headache. He had to think of a way. On the one hand, he had to make the new human civilization appear tougher and leave no flaws. On the other hand, you have to leave some hope for the other side. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the other side will not start a war!
