290 That's what my sixth sense told me
The water transportation vehicles of the Tula people are not what humans think of as submarines, but something called "underwater aircraft". As the name suggests, it is a vehicle that relies on the force generated by the water flow during navigation to float and dive.
Because the Tula people are aquatic civilization, their attainments in fluid mechanics are very terrible. In the eyes of the Tula people, human submarines are just a joke, and they are not as good as those of the Tula people's underwater aircraft that combine the essence of the Tula people's fluid mechanics. Of course, humans can now create in-sea vehicles that use similar principles to dive up and down, but now humans are busy plundering resources in space. They have no demand for water transportation and have no focus on development. Some scientific research organizations that have demand for water loads directly purchase Tula people's underwater aircraft.
Twelve elders of the Tula Presbyterian Church arrived on time on the sea structure where Lin Youde and his friends are now.
In order to show respect for the Presbyterian Church, Lin Youde took the initiative to say that the meeting could be held in the water. So when there were three minutes left before the scheduled time, Lin Youde had already been stuffed with breathing and nasal congestion in the water, suspended in the large conference room under the structure. Xia Yongzhi and Freya were floating next to Lin Youde in swimsuits. In order to prevent the body from floating around during the meeting, the three of them had fixed ropes tied to their waists.
Lily, who could not attend the meeting, was on alert on the structure, and the two first-grade girls who came to play were still with the stockings in the water.
When the elders entered the venue one after another, the water flowed Lin Youde and the other two touched each other.
The first Tula man who entered the room was the first to speak, using the Tula man's vocal cords to emit a relatively standard human language: "Hello, I'm glad to see you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Youde and Xia Yongzhi looked at each other and saw a little surprise on each other's face. As for Freya, the feeling of surprise had long been transmitted to Lin Youde through the connection between the two. In addition to surprise, there were also a bunch of irrelevant thoughts, which was very Freya's style.
"Hello, I'm honored to accept the invitation from all the elders." Lin Youde responded. He also used his vocal cords to pronounce the Tula language, and even used nanomechanical to force ultrasonic waves to create. It's right. Orthodox Tula language mixed with ultrasonic communication. However, after entering the universe, the Tula people found that the ultrasonic part in the Tula language would complicate communication, and they had to divide the extra communication bandwidth to convey the ultrasonic part. So the Tula people improved the Tula language based on the characteristics of radio communication, and became a language that could fully convey meaning without using ultrasonic waves.
However, in formal occasions, the Tula people still speak orthodox Tula.
It is almost the same as humans who can rely on radio waves to communicate, but they also have to use their vocal cords to speak frequently.
Elder Tula, who had just spoken to Lin Youde, rolled around. To be honest, these elders should be quite old. It feels a bit strange to see them so happy.
"Although I want to continue to hold talks in human language, unfortunately I have a very shallow understanding of human language and it is difficult to comply with this important task. Please allow me to use my brain companion to translate." After saying this round respectfully, Elder Tula added, "You can call me Elder No. 1."
Yes, can that be it?
"No problem, aren't the consultants and experts we sent to the human side also named by you humans according to your preferences? Our two ethnic groups have different cultures and don't have to worry too much according to human standards."
So Lin Youde nodded, but thought that he was talking to the Tula people, so he nodded and then rolled his body according to the Tula people's "expression" system. As a result, he rolled up the fixed rope for a long period of time, and the whole person sank down dozens of centimeters.
"You are making trouble." Xia Yongzhi asked through the carbon nanosilicons that were connected to each other, "You represent at least half of humans now, okay?"
Lin Youde could only slowly turn his body back as it was. He replied to the height he had just floated, but his body was tilted uncontrollably, his legs and Xia Yongzhi's legs banged together, and his head leaned against Freya, who just pressed against the top of his heavenly spirit cap.
The Tula people there may have ignored Lin Youde's actions based on politeness and went straight to the point.
Elder No. 1 first spoke: "We know what you are looking for. In fact, the races in the Milky Way are quietly looking for the legendary treasure star. Among the dead stars in the Milky Way, the wreckage is large enough and the pulses are strong enough. Almost all of them have been found. The super civilization comes from outside the Milky Way, but the saying that "passers" has become popular in recent years. At the same time, there are also the saying that the giants have divided the secrets of the super civilization. But more than ten years ago, someone proposed a different statement."
"I guess that's my dad." Lin Youde interrupted Elder No. 1.
"Yes, it's your father. But the statement he made seems nonsense. It's logically unconsistent and full of loopholes. But whenever it comes to super civilization, there are a lot of people in the Milky Way who are willing to try everything they can try. Of course, no one has any results, but at this time someone in your father's team has had a quarrel with him and left the team. This person claims that your father has improved his inferences and made up for all logical loopholes. It's only a matter of time to find the super civilization's mother star."
Lin Youde knew that Xia Yongzhi and Freya were looking at him with caring eyes, and he just listened to Elder No. 1 without saying a word.
"Later, your father died." Elder No. 1 ended the story with this abrupt method. "No one knows whether he really blocked all the logical loopholes in his guess, but everyone felt that Lin Zhengyi had mastered something and was killed by someone who now enjoyed super civilized convenience."
"People who enjoy super civilized convenience alone?" Lin Youde couldn't help but ask, "There are people or organizations like that that who are now famous in the Galaxy. It will definitely become the fastest-rising race."
Wait, it seems that there is a race that is really rising very fast.
Elder No. 1 wandered around the water, and it seemed that it had guessed what happened to Lin Youde's sudden stop talking.
"That's right," it said, "many people think that you humans have killed their own hope star, because humans have already drawn the lottery, but it takes time to digest super-civilized technology. Haven't you noticed that your human enemies have suddenly become more recently? Peng Ruiren, who was an allies, colluded with the Navi people who had always had a bad relationship and had always hated humans, was willing to bear the result of the failure of the war and the punishment of the Galaxy Parliament, and also forcibly launching an arbitration war to lead the human fleet and create conditions for seizing the super-civilized relics you humans own. Now the Navi people and the Peng Ruiren have deceived you humans' top leaders and incited the civil war of mankind."
Lin Youde was silent, but his brain was running rapidly.
Before, Lin Youde had always attributed humans to the warning and hostility of other races due to the rapid rise of humans, but he still felt it was a bit far-fetched. Even if the Navi people have similar ranks, Peng Rui people obviously have an advantage in rankings and their overall strength is indeed much stronger than humans, but it is really difficult to imagine how they target humans so deliberately.
After the first mission of Sethli, Lin Youde returned to the Bighorn Space Station and asked Noah to collect a lot of information about Peng Rui's internal affairs, and found that the anti-human hawks and pro-human doves within the Peng Rui people had a terrible internal struggle to compete for decision-making power, and the political situation was turbulent for about half of the Earth year.
However, with the reason mentioned by Elder No. 1, I immediately felt that this situation was very normal.
Whether Peng Rui or Navig, they really think that if humans are not punished, they will definitely rely on the research and analysis of super-civilized heritage and eventually step on them.
If you think about it carefully, the recent new achievements of the Bele family, in the view of the alien regime that believes that humans have mastered a large number of super-civilized heritages, just proves what humans have indeed mastered.
"Old Elder No. 1," Lin Youde finally asked, "Don't the Tula people think that humans have concealed super-civilized secrets?"
"In fact, we have not been able to unify our opinions. You know, we rarely argue about a certain issue for a long time, and we tend to combine different opinions. But this time the elders had a disagreement, and our Presbyterian members were always even numbers, and voting was likely to have a flat vote. In fact, the Presbyterian members were set to even numbers to avoid the principle of minority obeying the majority. We very much do not want to see the so-called 'majority violence'."
While Elder No. 1 was speaking, Lin Youde looked at the other elders in the room, guessing which elder thought that humans had hidden the super-civilized mother star. The statement just now speculated that half of the elders should think so.
"In other words, you have no unified opinion, but you still decided to send someone to our ship. If we really go to find the super-civilized mother star, you will make a profit. Is that true?" Lin Youde summarized.
"It's probably that. But we also think that you may just be a bait to lure other galactic civilizations and other forces within your humanity to pay attention to you so that the real treasure hunting team can do their own things with peace of mind."
"But now you send volunteer soldiers on board the ship, isn't it equivalent to adding more money to us and increasing the chance of our bait seducing the enemy successfully?" Lin Youde said so deliberately as the "enemies seducing action" as the default premise.
