Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Chapter 323 Dark Forest: Alien Morality

"How do you know the spacecraft's fuel isn't diesel?"

The registration staff asked Xu Damao seriously.

"I..." Xu Damao was about to blurt out, but suddenly reacted -

I am just a deputy section chief in charge of showing movies in the Propaganda Department. If I blurt out the fuel composition of the launch vehicle -

Will he be directly labeled as a spy?

How do you know so much? Why do you know so much?!

It was only in the past two years that Russia launched its beautiful carrier rocket into space, and it sent a satellite up this year (but it was shot down). Do you know the composition of rocket fuel?

There is no sign of China's rockets or missiles yet. How did you know?

Is it from Mao Xiong's side or Da Meiliang's side? !

At this time Xu Damao looked at the staff member again, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand to deceive him?

However, Xu Damao quickly adjusted his language.

"Diesel is used by heavy machinery such as trucks and tanks. Small cars use gasoline, and airplanes use aviation fuel, which is mainly kerosene mixed with other ingredients. Rockets should be more advanced than this, right?"

"The news of the Russian satellite falling in February was reported in the newspapers. You should all know about it, right? A rocket that heavy should have used more advanced fuel to send the satellite into space."

"Even rockets that use more advanced fuels can't reach the moon."

"Now you're telling me that alien spaceships that can travel across the stars are still using diesel. What are you talking about?!"

Although Xu Damao's reasons were crude, the logic was simple, and many people actually nodded and thought about it.

"I think he's right. Kerosene, gasoline and the like are all clearer and more transparent than diesel. You can tell at a glance that they've been refined, so the energy they can generate from burning them must be greater!"

"Hey, man, have you seen all three? I've only seen diesel and kerosene."

"Yes, I have. Our company has an imported German car. I have seen the fuel tank. It uses gasoline!"

"The fuel tank opening is so small, can you see it clearly?"

"You are so stupid! You can see clearly if you light a match to get some light!"

"Oh oh oh, look at my brain, brother, you are right, I will look at it this way next time!"

Xu Damao was stunned - damn, there are so many talented people here!

Is this a center for identifying human special abilities or a center for studying abnormal humans?

The staff nodded and said, "Even if your guess is right, it is possible that their engines are compatible with this low-end fuel. After all, aliens can travel across the stars, so their technology must be very advanced. It shouldn't be difficult for them to be compatible with low-end fuel, right?"

"So, your suspicion of Comrade Tieguo is nonsense and your reasons are not sufficient."

Xu Damao's eyes almost popped out of his head——

[Are you serious? Can you please check if what you are saying is human language? ]

[Not to mention Hall Engine, Warp Engine, Jump Technology, Nuclear Energy, Antimatter...]

[A spacecraft must be backward compatible and compatible with diesel? Then can it be backward compatible and also be able to burn coal and firewood? ]

[Are you really speaking human language? ]

But looking at the staff's extremely serious eyes, he had to answer. To be honest, Xu Damao really wanted to turn around and leave.

But if I don't give a satisfactory answer now, I will really be arrested as a troublemaker or a national criminal, right?

So Xu Damao had no choice but to explain: "Okay, let's not talk about the fuel issue for now, and let's not talk about how much diesel can be bought with 50 RMB to send the rocket into space. I just want to ask, the Five Ghosts Moving Technique is a Taoist unorthodox technique, how can an alien like him know it?"

"Good! That makes sense!" The others were still in a daze, but the Taoist priest started clapping.

The staff member frowned, but still tried to find excuses: "Maybe it was... an ancient Qigong practitioner in China, and... maybe the aliens were those people who became immortals in ancient China, and they might know some Taoist tricks. I'm just assuming, assuming!"

Xu Damao was stunned. How could you find and justify such a sophistry?

What a talented person.

Moreover, Xu Damao found it very suspicious. Why did this person insist on speaking for that Tieguotou?

The staff of the 7XX Bureau, even if they are peripheral members, should not have such a low level of education, right?

Is there something fishy going on here? Or does he really believe in that Moon Lord?

Sorry, this is me, the Moon Lord. If anyone dares to take my Moon, I will scatter the ashes of all his ancestors!

So, I can only use my ultimate move.

Xu Damao calmed himself down and said seriously, "I still have reasons."

"I wonder if you have heard of the Dark Forest Theory?" ——【Teacher Liu, take this treasure book and use it! 】

"What theory?"

The commotion here also attracted the attention of many people. More and more people gathered around, mainly because the debate here was both scientific and fantasy.

Simply put, it’s fun!

“The Dark Forest Theory.”

“The universe is a dark forest. Every civilization is a hunter with a gun, trying his best not to make any sound with his footsteps, because there are hunters sneaking around like him everywhere in the forest. If he finds other lives, there is only one thing he can do: shoot and kill them. In this forest, other people are hell, an eternal threat, and any life that exposes its existence will be quickly destroyed.”

"They found us in the vast universe and were able to communicate with us, which means they understand our civilization. Their technology is much more advanced than ours. We on Blue Star haven't even landed on the moon."

"Such a civilization still wants us to advance funds to buy fuel? Why can't they just rob it?"

Everyone felt that what Xu Damao said was too cruel and horrifying, and they all felt a chill down their spine.

The staff member was still quibbling: "Your idea is too dark and arbitrary. What if the other party came here to make friends? A more advanced civilization must have a more advanced morality!"

Xu Damao smiled and gave an example to illustrate: "Okay, according to your idea, let's make an analogy. If we find a piece of land overseas, full of gold and silver, but the owner of that land is a primitive man from the Stone Age, what do you think we will do?"

The staff member stammered in response: "Of course we are assisting them in their development, building and developing together. We can make money together, and they will not suffer any loss. They can also gain knowledge and have a better life. And no matter what, we have to abide by international law, right?"

Xu Damao suddenly revealed a very strange smile at this time——

"But what if the owner of this land is not a human, but a bunch of fat pigs?"

Suddenly, everyone understood what Xu Damao meant. The gap was too big. Maybe in the eyes of aliens, we blue planet people were not even human. What was the point of reasoning? Of course, we just robbed it!

He even took the pig away!

The staff member was sweating profusely. He didn't know how to answer Xu Damao: "This... I... But as human beings, we must have basic morals, right?"

"The higher the level of civilization, the more moral it should be. Aliens should also have morals, right?"

Xu Damao's smile became even more weird.

"How do you know about aliens—"

"What if it is humanoid? What if it has morals?"

"Have you seen it?"

Suddenly the whole scene fell into dead silence. Yes, you have never seen him before, so how do you know he is a human being and has morals?

Most people have figured it out. The pot-covered guy is just talking nonsense, full of loopholes, and is just trying to scam people out of their money.

This statement is clear if you think about it for a moment, but why is this staff member still so stubborn?

Even a fool can understand that there is something wrong here!

"This comrade's remarks are very brilliant! The logic is very self-consistent! Good!"

Just as everyone was thinking in silence, a middle-aged man who looked like a leader suddenly walked out, clapping his hands.
