Chapter 3: March and Trial

"... In the next few days, we held more than a dozen meetings, and the results observed through various instruments showed that there were no intact space battleships in the ruins, and through the signal analysis of the ruins of the battleship,

, there are no irregular signals, all signals are broadcast regularly according to time, somewhat similar to first aid or distress broadcasts."

Yao Yuan pushed Zhang Heng while introducing him: "So, after various verifications and discussions, we decided to move towards the battleship ruins area. So far, we have been flying for more than half a month. In fact

As early as ten days ago, people discovered the alien battleship ruins. After all, three days had passed without any jump, and the alien battleship ruins would continue to emit flashes of light.

As long as you use a telescope, you can roughly see it. Until now, you can also see it with the naked eye, so the confidentiality regulations have expired. Now everyone on the All-Hope is discussing the alien battleship ruins area."

Zhang Heng didn't come back to his senses for a long time. He turned his head stupidly and looked at the window behind him. It wasn't until Yao Yuan patted him hard on the shoulder that he woke up, and then he immediately shouted in surprise:

"Ah! Alien civilization, alien battleship, wow! Is this real? Is it an apparition like a mirage?"

Yao Yuan laughed and said: "What kind of mirage is there in the universe? It must be real... In other words, after being fully detected with our human scientific and technological means, we can confirm that at least most of it is real, first the signal, then the light source, and then

It is the result of observation. Of course, some scientists have also put forward your statement, that is, everything in front of you is just a bait, a bait for an advanced cosmic civilization waiting for low-level earth civilization to take the bait, but this statement is actually not credible. "

Zhang Heng exclaimed and asked, "Why is it not trustworthy?"

"Because of the comparison of interests." Yao Yuan said with a smile: "I firmly believe that everything has interests, including the behavior of alien civilizations, whether they are for survival, or to improve the technological level of their own civilization, or

Or is it to attack the enemy or something, there must be a benefit ratio involved, right?"

"We humans have nothing to do with their survival. We humans cannot improve their technological level. As for attacking the enemy, it is possible. We humans can be regarded as their potential enemies in the future. But have you ever thought about a problem? In a place where birds are not available,

In the shitty void of the universe, there are no stars or any stars. There are a lot of ruins in such a place, waiting for some low-level civilization to take the bait? What is the chance that a cosmic civilization will pass by? Once in a billion years? Or ten billion years?

once?"

Yao Yuan still smiled and said: "So, this logical reasoning is not valid, this is the ruins of an alien battleship group!"

After Zhang Heng thought about it for a long time, he burst out laughing and said at the same time: "That's really great. It seems that we humans can also eat delicious food and drink spicy food in the future... But it doesn't seem to be possible. This

Only the alien battleship group is so awesome, surpassing our human technology by about two hundred to three hundred years, which is beyond my imagination. So... what was it that defeated all their battleships?"

For a moment, both Zhang Heng and Yao Yuan fell silent. They didn't speak because they didn't know what to say...

In fact, many scientists have already raised this issue, because according to all the pictures taken, there are only ruins of the same type of alien space battleship at the scene. Apart from this, there are no other material fragments.

turn up.

Therefore, scientists have put forward two hypotheses. One is that there was a riot within this civilization. This is easy to understand. In the long and endless space voyage, due to various factors such as materials, political system, and even religion, it led to

Internal riots or uprisings may also be due to the fact that this battleship group encountered a similar situation to that of the Hope. The supplies were completely exhausted and it was about to become a metal coffin drifting in the universe. The internal war broke out and then destroyed everything. This

It's possible...

But relatively speaking, a main ship with a light diameter of more than a thousand kilometers, and the battleship group it carries, will still have surplus supplies even if it drifts in the universe for thousands of years, as long as its population is not so exaggerated as several billions.

It's possible, so the first hypothesis is unlikely. As long as most people don't go crazy and destroy the fleets they rely on for survival, this possibility simply doesn't exist.

The second hypothesis is very scary, so scary that Yao Yuan feels cold in his vest when he thinks about it.

This fleet encountered an advanced cosmic civilization whose technology was far ahead of it by countless years. During the battle... no, during the massacre, this alien civilization fleet could not even destroy any of the opponent's warships... Of course.

, when the technology reaches that level, there are two opinions as to whether we should still use spaceships as the main body of the battle.

All in all, without being able to break a single hair on the opponent's side, this group of alien warships, whose technology surpassed that of humans by two to three hundred years, was easily annihilated...

If it's the second case...

So what will be the result if humans encounter this advanced alien civilization?

Yao Yuan immediately felt shuddering. He even thought of those small animals that were kept for various viruses and body experiments. Precisely because humans are so cruel, as humans, we understand better that when humans become the subjects of experiments, other

How horrific and tragic the result is...

"We must get the technology of this battleship ruins! Definitely!"

This was a statement made by Yao Yuan in public, which caused dissatisfaction among some cautious people and scientists. However, more people, as well as many thoughtful people, supported Yao Yuan even more, which also triggered a new round of

The hot discussion was about the ruins of the space battleship group.

No matter what, there are still nearly two months before the Hope can reach the ruins of the alien battleship. Whether the result is good or bad, there will be a final answer at that moment.

More than ten minutes later, Yao Yuan pushed Zhang Heng to the door of his home, where many people were already waiting. Members of the Black Star Team and more than a dozen soldiers who had become lieutenants were also with Zhang Heng.

The people who participated in the rescue operation together with Heng included two beauties, Bai Ningxue and Luo Maomiao, and, by the way, there was also a reluctant Ren Tao, who was being held on the spot by Ren Chuoyue's ears.

Zhang Heng looked around a few times. He felt his eyes were a little swollen, so he quickly smiled and said: "I can't squeeze so many people into my house, but it's okay to treat guests..."

Next to him, Yao Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "We are here to pick you up. Are you there to treat us? Let's go. I have already reserved a seat in the officers' mess. I won't come back until I get drunk today, so that we can survive... for

Let’s revel in the fact that we can accomplish our mission.”

"OK!"

"Let's go! Don't come back until you're drunk!"

"Zhang Heng, you should drink more, haha..."

Various sounds came, making Zhang Heng feel warm in his heart, but he still looked around, as if he was looking for someone. Yao Yuan asked curiously: "What's wrong? Are you looking for someone?"

"...No, I'm not looking for anyone, let's go, let's go." Zhang Heng chuckled and started making noise with Heitie and others.

(She's not here... That's not my imagination, I remember her...)

At the same time, in a larger conference room somewhere on the third floor, this conference room has been transformed into a court. It is also one of the three major court halls of the Hope Civil Court. However, the place is now crowded with people.

Thousands of people gathered around, some of whom were waiting to take their seats, while others were talking to the people next to them. There were even a few reporters asking these people what they thought about the case.

Yes, a case is being tried here. It is also the first time in history that this type of case will be tried...a case about crimes against humanity!

The reason is that when they were in the third layer of the underground temporary residence in the asteroid belt, Yao Yuan and the others on the second layer had no way to communicate with the third layer, and the situation was already very critical at that time.

The people were on the verge of collapse. At that time, a group of workers almost attacked Mawei Novsky, an engineer who manufactured a short-range wireless contact. These scenes were originally recorded by the third-level surveillance system and stored in a black box.

When the third level was evacuated, the soldiers in the third level took out the black box before leaving and brought it back to the Hope. The intention was to keep it confidential and archive the information, but when the video inside was released

Later, the workers were charged.

In fact, what they committed was not serious, because they had not harmed anyone, nor had they damaged the short-range wireless contact device. Logically speaking, they had not committed a crime.

But many people on the Hope do not see it this way, and even many soldiers do not see it this way. The reason is that what the people on the Hope are most afraid of and fear the most is the kind of riots and loss of reason in times of despair.

Everything we have experienced tells people that human beings who have lost order and reason are actually the most terrifying and dangerous creatures.

Especially in the universe, the Hope is a life-saving home for everyone. If there are irrational people who carry out secret terrorist attacks and destruction, then everyone will die in the shortest time. Therefore, whether it is the government or the military

Both the government and the private sector are doing their best to prevent this from happening.

So these dozens of workers were first charged by the military, hoping that Yao Yuan could directly judge them through a military court.

But similarly, after the House of Representatives learned about this situation, it immediately contacted many members to appeal to them, hoping that these dozens of people would be handed over to civilian courts for trial. First, they were not soldiers and had not caused irreparable consequences. Second,

This case is used to form a case, that is, everyone should not lose reason and order at any juncture.

After watching the video several times, Yao Yuan finally decided to hand over these dozens of people to civil law for trial.

And today happens to be the day of trial for the leader of the crime, the worker leader Magen Ningboluo who was the first to cause trouble.
