"Beep."
A crisp notification sounded, and a high-priority message appeared on the holographic projection before Lü Yongchang.
The moment he read its contents, Lü Yongchang perked up!
The sender was Level I Academician Meng Lu!
The message was simple.
The language system deciphering department had completed all preparations and was ready to attempt contact.
Scientific research followed much the same principles across disciplines. Theoretical research needed experimental verification, and deciphering a language system also required large quantities of comparative samples.
Where would those samples come from?
Simple. Contact and communication between the two civilizations would produce plenty of comparative samples.
Well aware of this, Lü Yongchang gave the order without hesitation: "Landing ship, launch!"
"Prepare to initiate first contact!"
At the suggestion of Lin Zile and the other Social Sciences Academicians, Lü Yongchang abandoned the original plan to make contact using a survey ship.
To better weave the image of Human Civilization into the jellyfish's religious system, first contact would be made through a humanoid robot-specially modified to remove every feature that identified it as a robot.
It sounded a little convoluted, but it was actually easy to understand.
To prevent the uncanny valley effect, both humanlike and humanoid robots were deliberately designed not to look too human.
But the current situation was clearly different. This was the first contact between Human Civilization and the Jellyfish Civilization.
First impressions always left the deepest mark.
Clearly, the image of Human Civilization's starships had already found its way into the jellyfish's religious system.
If they did not "correct" this now, the gods in the Jellyfish Civilization's future myths might all end up looking like starships!
Lü Yongchang had no desire to see that happen.
Titan.
Under the jellyfish's watchful eyes, the survey ship that had been hovering above their colony quietly
