Whether it was the expeditionary fleet or the Kepler star system 9 light-years away, everyone put down their work and stared intently at the holographic image in front of them.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation.
This is the first contact between human civilization and a lower-level interstellar civilization since human civilization became a Type 5 civilization!
It also marks the beginning of human civilization sending its own voice into the universe!
This scene is destined to be recorded in the annals of human civilization!
The holographic image gradually became clearer.
One by one, black and white, fluffy, round balls appeared in the frame.
They blinked their big, dark eyes, looking at the camera with curiosity, panic, confusion, or despair.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, gasps of surprise rang out from both the expeditionary fleet and the Kepler star system.
Needless to say, the main source of the exclamations was the women from the Academy of Sciences and the expeditionary fleet.
"Ah!!! So cute!!!"
"So furry!!!"
"I really want to catch one and take it home!!"
"..."
There were countless exclamations like these.
In an instant, the tense and solemn atmosphere quietly dissipated.
Even the cold looks in Zhao Zijie's and Bai Yixuan's eyes quickly softened.
As people from the original Xia Kingdom, they have a unique feeling towards pandas.
It's not just them; through past cultural integration, the entire Federation of People's Liberation Army (FPL) has developed a unique affection for pandas!
Please, those are Pandamen!
No one can resist the allure of a panda.
If so, then send a bunch of panda people!
As for Lu Yongchang, the chief scientist of the People's Federation...
Looking at Su Yutong beside him, whose eyes were sparkling with admiration, he couldn't help but smile wryly and raise his hand to touch the tip of his nose.
have to.
That's good now.
He had imagined countless scenarios of contact and countless imaginings of what alien creatures might look like.
But what I never expected was that this first contact, which was destined to be recorded in history, would be like this!
Just as human civilization was in a state of "chaos," a series of high-pitched chirping sounds came from the loudspeaker.
"The panda man spoke!"
"Quiet down! The panda has spoken!!!"
"Their voices are so cute!!!"
This exciting news spread like wildfire through the crowd!
In just a few seconds, the chaotic scene within the fleet and the Kepler star system was quickly improved—everyone stared curiously at the slightly larger black and white ball in the holographic projection.
"Yongchang, what are the pandas saying?"
Su Yutong's curious voice came from the side.
Lu Yongchang glanced at the holographic image beside him and said softly, "Wait a little longer."
"The dictionary information of the other civilization is being transmitted; the translation program will be online in a while."
...
After a brief wait, a string of text appeared below the holographic projection.
[Respected human civilization, we are the Talodan civilization.]
First, we apologize for the incident some time ago when our probe mistakenly entered your territory. Please forgive our rash behavior.
Please believe that the Talodan civilization is a peace-loving civilization, and we have absolutely no intention of invading your territory.
[...]
Suddenly, the slightly larger dumpling in the holographic projection froze in place, staring blankly at the camera.
Judging from its gaze, it should be observing some kind of display device, such as a hologram or a screen.
One can imagine that their translation processes are also operational.
Gradually, under everyone's gaze, the fluff on this little ball of fur suddenly burst open, swaying slightly like a dandelion as it moved its body.
The high-pitched chirping sound rang out again, but this time it sounded particularly urgent, and even carried a hint of anger.
[Dear human civilization, our Talodan civilization is merely a small, level-three civilization.]
You may look down on us, but please show us the most basic respect as intelligent life forms that have survived in the universe for tens of thousands of years!
We are not some random Pandaren, we are the civilization of Talodan!
The people of Talodan will never be slaves! Give up your delusions!
Otherwise, otherwise I...
The black and white dumpling's body heaved violently; clearly, it was extremely angry.
The moment the words fell, the fur of the pandas behind it bristled slightly, clearly expressing their anger.
Bai Yixuan's lips twitched slightly.
He turned his head and glared fiercely at the crew members who had just exclaimed in surprise.
The crew members lowered their heads awkwardly.
This scene made Bai Yixuan's lips twitch a few more times.
He could understand the female crew members' reactions, but what was the meaning behind the group of male crew members blushing and bowing their heads?!
Due to the occasion, he could only swallow his anger.
The somewhat frenzied atmosphere within the expeditionary fleet and the Kepler-452 star system cooled down a bit as a result.
Nine light-years away, LĂĽ Yongchang rubbed his forehead, shaking his head helplessly: "Well, something big has happened..."
Misunderstandings are inevitable in exchanges between civilizations.
But he never expected that because of the other party's appearance, which far exceeded his expectations, such a big misunderstanding would arise between them during their first meeting!
"It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"
"Like the Talodan civilization, our human civilization is also a peace-loving race."
"As for our reaction just now, it was not out of contempt for you, but quite the opposite, it was an admiration and recognition of your appearance."
A familiar voice rang out in the expeditionary fleet, easing the slightly tense atmosphere on the communication channel.
