210: What are the chances of being friendly?

“Quick, decipher this radio wave!”

Both the Unpretty Leader and the Little Eagle Sauce’s leader were impatient.

Experts in relevant fields immediately began the deciphering work.

As the deciphering work progressed, the people from Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce became even more excited!

Because, what they had initially thought would be an extremely difficult radio wave message to decipher turned out to be surprisingly easy!

The content of the radio wave was easily cracked!

The entire process took less than fifteen minutes!

It was even less difficult than cracking a single encrypted password!

“This… how could it be so easy?”

The Unpretty Leader was greatly puzzled.

The chief technical Expert, however, immediately said, his face flushed with excitement, “God bless us, this Alien civilization that responded to us is a very friendly civilization!”

“They probably judged that our technical capabilities might not be very strong, so they specifically used a very special technology that we completely cannot understand to make their language and signal waves backward compatible with ours. Therefore, once they confirmed that the language and signal wave frequencies matched, the content of this radio wave automatically revealed itself so that we could understand it!”

“Praise God!”

The Unpretty Leader clasped his hands together in prayer for a moment, then eagerly asked, “What information did this radio wave transmit to us?”

“The radio wave’s message is greeting us and asking if we are seeking our kind in the universe. It expresses that they are very happy to have received our signal in the vast universe and to have made contact with us, hoping to become our friends,” the technical staff member said excitedly while reading the information from the radio wave.

After reading the information from the radio wave, everyone present showed uncontrollable excitement.

“Who said powerful Alien civilizations are all ruthless and brutal? This Alien civilization is very friendly!”

“This Alien civilization actually said it wants to be friends with us!”

“Haha, there really are other Alien civilizations in the depths of the universe. Now let’s see how that greedy Alien Commander on the Moon will handle himself!”

The people from Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce were extraordinarily excited.

Although some rationalists stated that they could not fully trust the words of this Alien civilization and needed to maintain a certain level of vigilance.

But more radical factions stated that, since they were already in an extremely dire situation under the oppression of the Alien Commander on the Moon, they must seize this opportunity no matter what and maintain a friendly relationship with this current Alien civilization!

“If we’re going to die either way, then why not choose a death that makes us feel at ease!”

Finally, the Unpretty Leader made the decision to continue responding to this Alien civilization:

“If this Alien civilization is feigning friendliness and we lure it here, even if we might encounter misfortune, that Alien Commander on the Moon and that damned Shang Xia won’t have it easy either!”

“That’s right, anyway, if we continue to be exploited, we won’t see a way out. Let’s just gamble. If we are destined to die at the hands of an Alien civilization, we must also make sure that greedy Alien Commander on the Moon has no peace!”

The Little Eagle Sauce’s leader had now also lost his usual rationality, madly supporting continued contact with the current Alien civilization, his eyes flashing with madness as he said in a low voice:

“What’s more, what if we win the gamble and this Alien civilization’s friendliness towards us isn’t feigned? Then we can gain a powerful Alien civilization as a friend, and we can ask him to help us deal with the Alien Commander on the Moon, and we might even rise again!”

“Then how do we determine if this Alien civilization’s friendliness is feigned?” a conservative asked.

“It’s not important!” The Little Eagle Sauce’s leader waved his hand directly, “Whether he is hypocritical or not is completely unimportant to us right now. We’ve already made the worst-case preparations, haven’t we?”

“Then what do you mean?”

“We currently lack technology!” A glimmer of fervor flashed in the Little Eagle Sauce’s leader’s eyes, “We can ask him to teach us some advanced technology! As long as we can get technology, everything else is unimportant!”

“This Alien civilization might not teach us advanced technology for free, right?”

“Heh heh, we can tell him that our Solar System has many rich resources. If he teaches us technology, we can mine them for him, ready for his civilization to collect at any time!” the Little Eagle Sauce’s leader said faintly.

Upon hearing this, many people’s expressions became strange.

Because they had said similar words to that Alien Commander on the Moon before.

“Aren’t you going to tell this Alien civilization about the other Aliens on the Moon?” the Unpretty Leader asked with a frown.

“Not yet. We also need to test the strength of this Alien civilization first. If he’s weaker than we imagine, mentioning that greedy Commander directly might scare him!”

The Little Eagle Sauce’s leader’s tone was leisurely.

“First, request that he transmit technology and see what level of technology he transmits, then decide whether or not to tell him about the situation on the Moon!”

At this point, the Little Eagle Sauce’s leader paused, then continued:

“And if this Alien civilization refuses to teach us technology, then it can directly prove that he is hypocritical. In that case, no matter the strength of this Alien civilization, we must find a way to trick him over and make him fight to the death with that damned Commander on the Moon!”

“If we’re not comfortable, then no one should be comfortable!”

“That damned Commander shouldn’t, and Shang Xia shouldn’t either!”

“At worst, we lure an Alien civilization over for a mutual destruction!”

Upon hearing this, all the Unpretty people nodded!

They had grown accustomed to being the leader of the planet.

But now, not only was the Alien Commander on the Moon high above them, but even their own country was now suppressing them.

For them, living like this was too stifling!

They would rather the planet be destroyed than let their own country continue to suppress them!

After the discussion, the technical staff immediately began to formulate a response.

At the same time, Lin Yang also received a synchronized prompt from the System.

“Host, please note, the System has intercepted the response signal from Unpretty and Little Eagle Sauce. They are requesting that the Alien civilization teach them technology, and they have provided a detailed overview of the Solar System, stating that there are abundant resources available for the Alien civilization to collect at any time.”

“Hmm? No mention of Tiangong Base?” Lin Yang was a little surprised.

“No.”

“This… are Unpretty and the others intentionally hiding something? What are they trying to do?” Lin Yang couldn’t help but frown.

“Responding to Host, Unpretty’s response this time did not leak critical information, so the System will not modify it. Also, it did not reveal information about the cosmic radio wave sender, so it seems both sides are still in a phase of mutual probing.”

“Okay, you handle it. We’ll just wait for their next response,” Lin Yang nodded.

The initial contact between two civilizations definitely involves a process of mutual probing.

Unpretty and the others requesting the other party to teach them technology is also a form of probing.

Probing whether the other party’s technological civilization is powerful.

“However, although the response didn’t reveal the situation of the other civilization, since Unpretty and the others requested the transmission of technology in their first response, it seems that the cosmic radio wave sent to them expressed friendliness!”

Lin Yang speculated for a moment, then asked, “System, what do you think is the probability of this Alien civilization being friendly?”
