Chapter 604: Rescue the Hostages

Faced with this dilemma of mutual distrust, there are two methods now. The first is to keep consuming until the entire ring-shaped spacecraft has no energy. As long as there is no energy in the end, the Antaik civilization will naturally make concessions.

But this method requires an unknown amount of time. According to common sense, a spacecraft has a lot of reserve energy and can last for a long time, several years or decades.

"After all, it is nuclear fusion. Dozens of tons of fuel can be used for a year, and it will last until the end of time." One of the experts sighed slightly. People don't know how much fuel is stored inside.

Second, one party makes concessions first.

Obviously, for the time being, no one is willing to sacrifice their own safety and make concessions.

"Alas... let the lizards decide for themselves. After all, it is related to their compatriots and is also half of their internal affairs." After a long while, Yu Yifeng frowned and said, giving up the entanglement in this regard.

Soon, the new humans passed the news to all the lizard people as it was, which directly caused a huge response!

When they thought of so many hostages who had not been released, all the lizardmen were in a riot, accusing the Anteks of shameless behavior.

The two civilizations had long been at loggerheads, and it was as if a powder keg had been ignited, and they exploded with a "boom".

There were even some extreme hawkish voices within the indigenous lizard civilization: it seemed worthwhile to exchange 40 million lizard populations for 1 million Anteks! Just fire and blow them to death!

This was something that the new human civilization had not expected. It was unexpected that some lizards would be so radical.

Of course, most lizards still expressed their firm opposition to this hawkish behavior, scolding them as keyboard warriors and drooling babies.

Among the 40 million hostages were their relatives and friends, and all their property! They worked hard on the metal planet for their families and children, and were able to live in the ring spaceship. How could they give up now? !

Three hours later, a large-scale lizard meeting was officially held on the metal planet. Lizards representing various ideologies gathered together to discuss this major event.

These upper-level lizards have been divided into several different political groups, and they have different opinions.

The first batch is the lizard natives from Nix Star who came here with the new humans. There are about one million people. These people and the lizards on the ring spacecraft are all unrelated, so of course the opinions they consider are more radical.

The second batch is the liberated lizards from the metal planet, which account for the majority of the population. And these lizards, due to historical reasons, have several different political groups.

In order to facilitate governance and reduce rebellion, the Antai civilization once divided the lizards into ten industrial areas. Now that the entire history has passed for three hundred years, these ten political groups cannot be directly merged for the time being.

"Each group represents the interests of different classes... Because of limited resources, it was full of competition in the past. There is also some hatred between each other..."

"Political matters are very troublesome... Who is the boss and who has the final say, there is no consensus for a while." Xu Yunjin sighed.

Is a civilization that simple? Of course not. When necessary, they can be united against the outside world, but when unnecessary, they are always full of internal chaos. This is a low-level civilization.

"History has inertia. Even if a major turning point occurs, it is still very difficult to suddenly twist it into a ball."

Yu Yifeng also discovered a series of problems: "This also shows that the thinking mode of the lizards has not deviated from the scope of low-level civilization. It's not a big deal. Are you so worried about things like power? If productivity is developed in the future, and it is developed hundreds of millions of times, do you still need to fight for such insignificant interests?"

"... However, it's good to split into several countries, just like the Chiyanjiao people..."

"We still have to establish a set of incentive mechanisms to let them compete with each other vigorously."

At this point, he suddenly thought of a point. There is always a gap between naturally born interstellar civilizations and deliberately cultivated subsidiary civilizations. The Antai civilization may also be deliberately cultivated, so... it is so easy to surrender.

This kind of innate social gap is a human factor and it is difficult to make up for it.

In this way, the entire lizard high-level discussion and decision-making took a total of 18 hours, and they quarreled with each other several times.

Perhaps they also realized that this was actually a huge opportunity to pursue power! Whoever solves this problem will win great fame, there is no doubt about this.

After a long discussion, the lizard group really thought of a solution that was not a solution...

"Replace the hostages!"

There are a large number of lizard people who are willing to use their lives to replace the 40 million kidnapped people.

On the one hand, it is really because of personal factors, there are their friends, family, and children there; on the other hand, for some politicians, if they take risks and the plan succeeds in the end, they will undoubtedly gain huge political prestige.

"The last population of the Antek civilization is only one million. We will use one million high-quality laborers in exchange for the 40 million hostages in the ring spacecraft. As long as the other party agrees to this plan, we think they can be released Leave first...allow them to enter the super-light state first!"

This is the final plan presented by the lizards.

"Will the other party agree?" Yu Yifeng frowned and looked for a long time, secretly lamenting the series of changes that the lizards had undergone during this war. Because of the encouragement of various heroes, the number of people who dared to sacrifice suddenly increased. This is some change in the spiritual level of a civilization.

No matter what the reason was, the lizards were able to gather one million warriors who dared to sacrifice themselves in just 18 hours. They were indeed very resilient.

"This may also be the morale generated after a big victory." He thought secretly in his heart.

"Since there is no better way, let's use this plan to communicate with the Antek civilization!" He nodded and said to the assistant beside him.

In the end, only 5% of the population of the Antek Civilization was left, all of which were randomly selected. They actually really want to get out of here. Most of the military strength has been handed over, and the arms cannot twist the thighs. Staying here for one second means more danger.

But if they want to replace 40 million people with one million lizards, the safety for them will be greatly reduced. The 40 million lizard hostages are the final guarantee. In the minds of this group of mantises, it is simply impossible to exchange one life for one with the lizards.

The whole negotiation was difficult...

It was rejected outright from the beginning!

They even proposed that these lizards could be replaced with a small population of new humans, such as one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand new humans... This would not be a problem.

But this plan was ruthlessly rejected by Yu Yifeng.

What a joke!

It is true that a subordinate civilization is a subordinate civilization and needs rescue, but it is impossible to risk the population of new humans. In Yu Yifeng's mind, primary and secondary matters have always been clearly distinguished.

"It is absolutely impossible to exchange the population of the new human race for benefits."
