#655 - The first stop
And so, after a brief exchange and negotiation, the communication screen went dark.
Under Xiao Wu's control, the spaceship carrying everyone slowly followed the two Asgardian lunar ships ahead, heading towards the asteroid station.
Compared to Liang Yue, who remained as steady as an old dog with a calm demeanor, the others present, including Stark, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the successful negotiation.
After all, this was the first time in human history that a negotiation with aliens had taken place in the cosmic starfield.
Unlike fighting on Earth as the home team, it would be a lie to say they weren't nervous.
“So, what preparations should we make to welcome the upcoming cosmic knowledge course? From your conversation just now, I seem to have heard that we need to learn a language called Universal Common Tongue.”
Stark clapped his hands together and rubbed them, looking eager to start the new course.
“There are many widely spoken languages in the universe. Universal Common Tongue is just one of them, and it's not very practical in some remote places. It's not strictly necessary to learn it.
Unless you are a professional engaged in the research of alien languages or history, otherwise, as far as I know, as long as you wear a relatively advanced simultaneous translator,
you can perfectly achieve the communication function of listening and speaking in the universe. In fact, I just asked them for language teaching materials for Xiao Wu.
As long as it collects enough data, it can create this kind of thing.”
Reality is different from film and television works. Even productions from the United States must respect basic facts. The idea that everyone in the universe speaks English obviously doesn't exist in the real world.
Of course, even if they don't speak it, this personal experience can be achieved through some necessary technological means~
Xiao Wu has a lot of technical accumulation in this area, such as simultaneous translation, auditory conduction, voice simulation, neural connection, and so on.
Specifically, it can be divided into two routes: mechanical and biological.
Breaking it down further, it can be developed into different styles of tools such as headsets, earrings, ear studs, brooches, chips, quantum computers, biological computers, etc.…
The others had different reactions after hearing Liang Yue's words.
However, this is also normal. Everyone present is smart and knowledgeable, but~ everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
Like Stark, this guy seems to have a good talent in linguistics, confident that he can quickly master a foreign language, and he has Jarvis, an intelligent butler, to help him.
But for the others, most of whom are over half a century old and busy researching in a certain field, suddenly learning a new knowledge system is not easy.
“As for what preparations to make, right~ when the Asgardian prince Thor came to Earth before, did you have contact with him?”
Looking at Stark, who had a somewhat disappointed expression, Liang Yue continued to ask.
“Met him. At that time, in a small town in Mexico, we fought side by side, I guess. The target was a strange robot, said to be a powerful magic armor.
I only remember that the little brother could release lightning, but I wasn't too familiar with him.”
After thinking for a while, Stark replied indifferently.
“Then, the person in charge of handling the hammer incident at that time should be Coulson, right?”
“Uh-huh~ Maybe that old good guy can talk to that prince. What, do you still want to bring Coulson over?”
“To carry out space navigation, the help of the Asgardians is very necessary. After all, we need to conduct interstellar communication and navigation, and long-term contact and a solid foundation are indispensable.
Regarding this point, my goal is different from yours. I came out this time just for a short trip, and I can accept any outcome, but for the entire Earth and humanity,
it's better to plan this matter more systematically~”
“That's right, although our trip is mainly for exploration, if there is an opportunity to establish a certain relationship with forces that are friendly to Earth,
it's best to handle it carefully, after all, we still have to prepare for future development.”
An old professor from China next to him obviously agreed with Liang Yue's point of view and immediately nodded in agreement.
Most of the others were like this, and they expressed some of their own opinions and suggestions.
Although this place is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Earth, and there is a space wormhole in the middle, maintaining communication is not a problem for Xiao Wu.
It's just that the speed is a little slow…
After a while, Director Fury, with a buzz cut and both eyes intact, appeared on the other side of the video.
“Is there anything I can do for you~ Mr. Liang Yue? I heard that you rushed to the universe an hour ago. Looking at you now, um~ are you still stuck in outer space and haven't gone far?”
“Is Coulson there?”
“He is currently busy training a part of the S.H.I.E.L.D. trainee agents. If needed, I can get him over as soon as possible~”
“Our spaceship has just passed through a wormhole and arrived at a station established by the Asgardians. After preliminary negotiations, we should be able to learn some common sense about the universe from them.
But in order for humans to establish contact with alien forces more systematically in the future, everyone on our spaceship unanimously believes that this step should be taken cautiously.
Agent Coulson once dealt with their prince and can barely be regarded as a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side, so I think~”
“I'll call him to my office right away.”
Before Liang Yue could finish speaking, the black director on the other side had already understood his meaning, so he immediately turned around, stuck out his butt, and pressed the communicator on his desk to issue orders.
On Liang Yue's side, after calculating the spatial coordinates, he immediately mobilized the magic power in his body.
His hands danced in front of him like graceful flying birds, creating a complex orange symbol.
Soon, accompanied by a shining magic coil, under the curious gazes of the surrounding people, a circular space channel suddenly appeared in the cockpit.
The channel was connected to Nick Fury's office.
At this time, the black director on the other side had just put down the phone, and when he turned his head, he saw Liang Yue and others on the other side.
His bull-like eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
Stark on this side then stretched his hand through the channel in a somewhat teasing manner and snapped his fingers.
“If you don’t mind, please pour me a cup of coffee~ Thank you.”
Hearing this, Nick Fury rolled his eyes, took a pile of cups directly from a cabinet, then picked up the coffee pot next to him and walked over, muttering in his mouth.
“Specialty from a distant hometown, please enjoy it to your heart’s content~”
…
About ten minutes later, the spaceship slowly landed at the port under the guidance of the Asgardian standard lunar ship.
Accompanied by a wide staircase extending to the trestle, everyone slowly walked out of the cabin.
Finally, led by Liang Yue, everyone took their first steps on this Asgardian station.
This marks the birth of the first foothold of mankind's first space trip…
Of course, the people present probably didn't realize how much commemorative significance this action had.
Since walking out of the cabin door, these experts and scholars have completely focused their attention on the distant building complex and the nearby crowd.
Excitement, confusion, surprise, and so on… all kinds of emotions were intertwined.
As a relatively alternative civilization in the universe, although Asgard itself has considerable national power and its technology is also very advanced, whether it is their way of doing things, clothing, customs, or architectural style, they all follow a very traditional concept.
It is very different from the scene in human's own imagination, where tall buildings stand like giant trees and flying cars fly around in the sky~
