"Your Excellency..." Gondor asked nervously.
"Ahem, I just dived into the water and found... there is a little difficulty. The pollution makes people uncomfortable." Zhang Ming said with some embarrassment, "So I need a few large containers that can be completely sealed. That kind? You should be able to provide this kind of container, right?"
"How big does it need to be?" The two Hong Steel people were stunned. There was a lot of pollution down there. Of course they knew it, but what does it have to do with the container?
"The bigger the better, the diameter should be about 30 meters. Any material will do, but it must be sealed." Zhang Ming was too lazy to explain and directly made his request.
Gondor said quickly: "Dear Extraordinary Sir, ordinary substances are easily destroyed by pollution. Or can I modify this diving suit and give it to you?"
"No, no, no, I just want the container...the container is fine, I don't need anything else."
Naturally, this condition is only trivial. With the industrial capabilities of Honggang people, it can be built in one day.
Gondor quickly agreed to this matter.
…
This is a small step for a person, but also a giant step for human civilization!
Just today, the human and snake civilizations completed their first diplomatic meeting!
The meeting place between the two parties was on a 10,000-ton destroyer. The human side had carefully arranged it, painted the destroyer, and laid out a red carpet... because according to the high-altitude reconnaissance of the hot air balloon, the snake people seemed to like it very much. Furniture such as carpets.
As for various possible scenarios, they have been simulated countless times.
In the end, Comrade Wang Fumin, the strongest man on this side of the earth, took the lead and held cordial talks with the snake people.
More than 30 snake people stayed here for a full eight hours before leaving in a small boat.
"Is there any problem?"
"I don't know...it's hard to tell." In the conference room, Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
The first communication was not very smooth. A lot of time was spent communicating through gestures, drawings, etc., so the amount of information brought in 8 hours was quite limited.
"Our language experts here should be able to communicate fluently as long as they study for a while."
"As long as the other party has no clear malicious intent, it will be the best." The staff members in the room discussed one after another.
One of them suddenly said: "How strong is the strongest person on the other side?"
Wang Fumin frowned slightly: "In the 30-person team, at least 10 people can pose a threat to me, and there may be snake people who can break through the three bottlenecks."
"Obviously, in terms of individual abilities, snake people are indeed much better than us humans."
"However, there is no need to belittle oneself. Our development time is still short, and in civilized warfare, there is not much room for individual strength to be displayed."
Everyone's heart sank. Indeed, the current individual strength of human beings cannot even be compared to the Flame Horn people.
This is a big hidden danger.
"Okay, everyone, let's continue to think about things related to translation. We should be able to draw a lot of conclusions from the 8 hours of video recording just now."
…
…
The diamond-shaped wooden boat of the snake people civilization, pulled by two big snakes, quickly moved away from the destroyer.
More than 30 snake people, like humans, gathered in a small room to discuss the large amount of information they had just obtained.
"They are a civilization that has just arrived at the Sea of Demon Gods!" The strongest member of the visiting team stuck out his long and slender tongue, with an icy cold light in his triangular eyes, and whispered, "They may have never come to the Sea of Demon Gods before. Contacted the rest of the civilizations. We were the first civilization they encountered!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Archon... This is definitely a brand new civilization, which means their world may be very rich!"
"There is still a large amount of the source of the world left!"
Sea of Demon Gods: The first rule of civilization survival: When communicating between the two parties, the host must display tokens that it has met with other civilizations in history to show that it is a civilization that yearns for peace, pays attention to credibility, and has a long history!
The so-called "token" can be a communicator or a very famous specialty of a certain civilization. Even some special seals are good!
However, humans are not shown!
It shows that they don’t know this unspoken rule at all!
Having said that, in fact, Zhang Ming did not know about this unspoken rule. Maybe the Azurite people knew this, but these few details would not be recorded in the data at all; or maybe there was no such thing in the original Azurite era. An unspoken rule.
Therefore, even if experts and scholars on the other side of the earth have simulated various scenarios hundreds and thousands of times, it is still impossible to guess this!
The second rule of survival of civilization in the Sea of Demonic Gods: When the two parties communicate, the strongest person in the world must at least show up to reduce the chance of strategic misjudgment by both parties.
The existence of the strongest person in the world is a key signal to measure the development of civilization!
"The current strongest person on the other side has probably broken through the second bottleneck of human limits." The consul wearing a golden crown on his head stuck out his slender tongue, "But it may also be because they don't know this. Because of the rules.”
"What's more, they are still a technological civilization..."
"Well, the war potential of technological civilization often exceeds individual strength."
Snake people naturally know the existence of technological civilization.
Although technological civilization is rare, looking at the entire Sea of Demon Gods, there is still a ratio of one-tenth.
The overall strength of scientific and technological civilization is basically not reflected in individual combat power. They often develop giant ships, cannons, or some super-destructive weapons.
The snake people themselves have developed some technologies, but they are limited by resource, economic and institutional issues. Low-end technologies cannot match supernatural technologies, and high-end technologies cannot match them. In their world, coal and oil reserves are scarce, so technology has become an embarrassing existence. Snake people are more inclined to buy simple and useful things from other civilizations.
"Technological civilization..." Several think tanks around them narrowed their triangular eyes and stuck out their slender tongues. They were thinking about future policies.
If you start a war with a technological civilization and win, and eventually conquer that civilization, the benefits will be huge!
They will directly obtain systematic technology without having to purchase it from other civilizations.
Of course, the risks are equally huge. No intelligent creature is willing to be enslaved by other civilizations.
The counterattack of scientific and technological civilization will inevitably be extremely strong.
"The risk of war is huge."
Sea of Demon Gods: Rule 3 of Civilization’s Survival: Never expose the location of your own world!
Exposure often means...death!
Conquering a technological civilization brings huge benefits, and exterminating a world may even have some hidden benefits!
The snake-man Archon recalled the ancient classics: Destroying a civilization would not only gain a large amount of the source of the world, it might also bring about huge changes in one's luck, and gain some special favor from the Sea of Demon Gods.
This statement is quite vague. No one can tell whether "luck" is true or false.
It may be that the ancestors at the time had only a little understanding of it. After all, once civilized war is launched, it will be a matter of life and death. Soldiers are a major matter of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival.
Therefore, when there is no huge benefit, war will not be launched easily.
However, this kind of civilization that destroys others actually exists in the Sea of Demon Gods. The ordinary civilizations in this world community call it the "Destroyer Civilization."
"Your Excellency Archon, if we become the destroyers, we will become the target of public criticism."
"Our strength is not the strongest in this sea area." A staff member raised his own question, "Once we become a destroyer, future communication will be difficult..."
Another snake man said slowly: "There is no third party at this moment, and who knows without knowing it? What's more, we just want to conquer each other... human civilization... our goal is not to destroy the world! The world doesn’t care who lives on that land, does it?”
The leader of the snake man was a little upset by their noise, but with such a big piece of cake placed in front of him, it was indeed very tempting, so he had to think carefully.
"For this matter, we have to gather all the 50 million citizens of our clan and mobilize all our strength for war. Don't you think that the war potential of technological civilization is weak?"
"So you have to consider it carefully. Don't think that the strongest person on the other side is easy to bully just because he has broken through the second level of human limits."
During the discussion, the snake man's base camp arrived.
This huge sailing ship has a displacement of 100,000 tons and is magnificent. The sides of the ship are carved with exquisite murals, including animals, houses, scales, birds, trees, etc., and the sound of musical instruments can be heard in the distance. . It is obvious that the snake people have developed a glorious culture and advanced social system, and are proud of it.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Consul!" The soldiers guarding the ship saluted one after another. This kind of salute is also very strange. They need to curl up their body and lean forward as much as possible.
"Hello you guys."
The leader of the consul, named Tang Anji, boarded the mothership and quickly headed to the central conference room.
In addition to the magnificent decorations, there are also "tokens" of other civilizations placed in the room. In their long history, they have exchanged tokens with 27 civilizations!
Among them, 17 civilizations may have become extinct.
Of course, it is only possible. Anyway, after only one contact, these civilizations never appeared again.
Six civilizations have cut off contact... No one knows what happened.
Currently, there are only four civilizations still communicating with each other.
Among so many civilizations, the snake people consider themselves to be above average, which is certainly good compared to those civilizations that are suspected of being extinct. From the individual strength to the richness of the world, it is considered above average.
What's more, they have their own unique technology: raising mutant life!
After so many years of testing, the snake people have found ways to cultivate and control mutant creatures. For example, some deep-sea behemoths can tow ships, assist in mining, and have extremely high combat capabilities; some flying behemoths can reach a speed of one thousand kilometers per hour, can quickly contact the headquarters base camp, and have extremely high endurance; some mutated birds, The eggs laid contain extremely high nutritional value; some mutated beasts can produce milk and hair...
