Start sweeping the universe by rubbing the CPU with your hands.

After being approved by the Human Civilization Governing Committee, an announcement was released under the official human civilization account of Yinmeng.com.

The title is "Strongly condemning Lanso, João and other five major civilization coalition forces for brazenly attacking our non-military targets." The content describes in detail what happened in the past period, which happened next to the neutron star numbered RXJ185635-3754 in the direction of Corona Australis. things.

The announcement first stated that this was a completely non-military, normal scientific expedition. For this purpose, human civilization dispatched a total of 50,000 people, including 20,000 elite scientists, and detailed the composition of the scientific expedition fleet, attached a large amount of evidence, and explained from multiple angles that this operation had nothing to do with military affairs.

Later, the announcement stated that the five major civilization coalition forces brazenly dispatched and directly destroyed the entire scientific research fleet, committing cruel massacres, seriously deviating from the purpose of the Silver Alliance, seriously violating the Silver Alliance's regulations, etc.

Finally, human civilization claimed that it would never give up on this matter and would definitely file a lawsuit with the Silver League Court.

In fact, when this incident occurred, human civilization had already issued an announcement, strongly condemning the five major civilization coalitions, and required the five major civilization coalition forces to make compensation, severely punish the murderer, and publicly apologize.

Of course, the ending of the incident did not cause any waves. The five major civilizations were too lazy to even issue a notice, and did not even make a single statement to defend themselves. They completely ignored the announcement of humans.

What a joke, we are at war now! Not to mention destroying one of your scientific research fleets, even if all the residents of your entire planet are destroyed, so what? What else does it matter?
Is this kind of thing rare in the galaxy? Didn’t you humans wipe out several third-level civilizations in succession and massacre hundreds of billions of people?

The original announcement was passed without any splash. The relevant civilizations who have always been paying attention to the trends of human civilization did not expect that humans would once again bring up the old matter, and the wording was much harsher, and they were going to the Silver Alliance Court to sue.

This is a bit baffling.

In addition, human civilization has made a lot of noise some time ago. It won the first place in the Milky Way Cleanup Operation, was quickly promoted to the fourth level civilization under heavy pressure, and defeated the Yunguang Civilization, etc., I don’t know how many and Civilizations that humans have interacted with and those that have not interacted with have begun to pay attention to humans, so this announcement actually attracted a little attention.

Many civilizations have begun to pay attention to what is going on in human civilization, how this matter will progress next, and whether there is a secret struggle between some advanced civilizations behind this incident, and whether it will have a certain impact on the situation in the galaxy. .

After all, if something goes wrong, it must be a monster.

Under the gaze of countless people, either overt or covert, the human side revealed its movements.

Humanity publicly submitted an indictment to the Silver Alliance Court, publicly prosecuting the destruction of the scientific research fleet by the five major civilization coalition forces, and established a special legal team for this purpose.

"Are humans serious about this? Are they really going to sue?"

In the conference room of the heads of state of the five major civilizations, all the heads of state were a little surprised.

This is really unexpected.

It is normal for a war to break out between civilizations, and then to launch a war of public opinion, gain external support, and engage in a war of words. Everyone does this, and some have filed lawsuits with the Silver League Court, but I have never seen anyone sue for such a trivial matter. .

"Are you crazy? So what if they win? Hand over the murderer? If we randomly take some death row prisoners to hand over, can they still prove that they are not the murderer?

Apologize? What's the point of apologizing? Comparable to a battleship? compensation? Fifty thousand people, the maximum compensation is tens of thousands of silver coins..."

The movements of human civilization are really difficult for the heads of state who are well-informed and have experienced great storms to understand.

"If something goes wrong, it must be a monster."

A head of state said in a deep voice: "Let's not care about human beings' conspiracies. In short, we can never give them what they want.

If he sues, we will respond! They want to win the case, let's make them lose! Let them be disgraced then! "

"Yes. Isn't it just a lawsuit? Which civilization doesn't have a group of legal talents! Just respond to the lawsuit!"

The heads of the five major civilizations quickly unified their opinions and dispatched a luxurious lineup of legal elites from the five major civilizations and intelligent beings to respond to the lawsuit.

It didn’t take long for the Yinmeng Court to hear the matter via remote video. Because of the high level of attention this matter received, the Yinmeng Court also adopted a public hearing.

Any civilization can apply for a spectator seat in the Silver Alliance Court. At that time, relevant signals will be sent by the Yinmeng Court.

The trial began. After a series of previous procedures, the trial officially began.

The human side speaks first.

The faces of human legal elites are full of sorrow.

"According to Article 76 of Article 332 of the Silver Alliance Treaty, non-military forces such as scientific research, civilians, and commerce enjoy immunity from war in non-battlefield environments and non-participation conditions that are not sufficient to have any impact on the war situation. No fleet or civilization has the right to attack it.

We have a total of more than 50,000 people, taking a scientific research fleet to the neutron star for scientific research and investigation. It does not involve military affairs at all, is not in a battlefield environment, and does not meet the conditions for participating in the war.

However, the coalition forces of the five major civilizations brazenly attacked innocent civilians, brutally massacred more than 50,000 people, and destroyed all our scientific research facilities. Such behavior is horrific and outrageous. It blatantly violates the ban of the Silver Alliance and seriously challenges the bottom line of the Silver Alliance.

The following is our evidence. "

The human lawyer team presented the evidence in their hands to the trial judge, the opponent, and the auditorium in detail, including the size, composition, and scientific expedition process of their own scientific expedition fleet, as well as all records of being attacked by the other party and completely destroyed.

These records have to be said to be extremely informative. After all, things are really there.

At the end, the human legal team even had red eyes: "Tens of thousands of people died tragically and tens of thousands of families were ruined.

If it is on the battlefield, then life and death are determined by destiny, life and death are irrelevant. But these people are not soldiers, and they have not gone to the battlefield!

They just went to perform an ordinary scientific research mission. They just wanted to complete their work, get a salary, and then support their families! At home, their wives, children, parents, and friends are all still waiting for them to come home!

But at this moment, they were buried in the sea of ​​​​stars, with no bones left!

And the murderer who caused all this is the five major civilization coalition forces!
I want to ask you, have you ever defeated us on the battlefield? There is nothing you can do against us on the battlefield, so you only dare to attack our civilians! If you bully the weak and fear the strong, are you still considered a soldier? ! "

The speeches of the human lawyer team were as enlightening and shocking as Hong Zhong Dalu. It was unknown how many people were infected for a while.

At this moment, countless bystanders secretly sided with humans.

It's none of your business anyway, and expressing your support emotionally won't have any impact.

"Dear Judge, we have finished our explanation."

"Please give the floor to the lawyers of the Five Civilization Alliances." "Dear Judge, I want to explain one thing.

At this stage, we are at war with human civilization. Civilized territories and civilized fleets are all battlefields!
You said that the neutron star was just a scientific research fleet and did not involve military affairs. Then, when your fleet was dispatched, did you report it to us? Did you get our permission?
If I remember correctly, no? Since there is no such thing, how can you prove that it is just a scientific research fleet?
We seriously suspect that you are secretly carrying out some conspiracy under the guise of a scientific expedition fleet. In this case, it is reasonable and legal for us to destroy your fleet! "

The human side was furious: "It's full of nonsense! Any fourth-level civilization can tell from the composition of our fleet that it is a scientific research fleet, but you can't tell? Besides, which law of the Silver Alliance stipulates that we need to ask you Party report?

On the contrary, the Silver Alliance law clearly stipulates that attacks against non-military fleets are not allowed! You openly violated the regulations of the Silver Alliance. Do you want to replace the regulations of the Silver Alliance with your own internal regulations? "

The two sides took this as a battlefield and started a war of words.

No matter how the lawyers of the five major alliances argued, the human side always stuck to one theme and violated the Silver Alliance regulations.

You said reporting, you said we can't tell the difference, you said we have no obligation to tell the difference, you said this is the default behavior within the Silver Alliance - since the two sides are at war, they will do whatever they can, regardless of whether you are a soldier. Or the people, this is how everyone has been here for so many years, etc., no matter what the five major alliances say, the human side has always adhered to the provisions of Article 76 and Article 332 of the Silver Alliance Treaty.

Rules are rules. I don’t care what unspoken rules or tacit understandings you have. I just ask you, are you going to violate the rules of the silver alliance? As for other things, what does it have to do with me?

After a heated debate for several days, with a period of adjournment in between, the five major alliances finally found that it was not feasible to avoid the terms of the silver alliance and use unspoken rules, tacit understanding, real conditions, etc. as excuses to explain the matter.

"Then change your strategy! Debate with the human side within the framework of the Silver Alliance's legal provisions!"

The five major civilization alliances finally made up their minds.

As a result, the legal elites of the five major civilizations discovered that within the legal framework, there seemed to be only one point they could take advantage of.

Article 76 of Article 332 of the Silver Alliance Treaty stipulates several situations: first, scientific research, civilian, commercial and other non-military forces.

Second, in non-battlefield environments and non-combat conditions.

Third, it is not enough to have any impact on the war situation.

Only if these three conditions are met at the same time can one enjoy immunity from war.

Among these three, the first and second are obvious.

That fleet was obviously a scientific research fleet and did not have military power. The area around the neutron star was obviously not a battlefield environment, let alone the conditions for participating in a war.

Then the only loophole left for our side is the third one.

Generally speaking, according to general understanding, a small-scale scientific research fleet is also obviously not enough to have any impact on the war situation. But if you study this sentence deeply, you can still find some loopholes.

For example... we suspect that your scientific research fleet is there to study some new highly lethal weapons. Once the research is successful, it will be able to gain an advantage on the battlefield. Does this count as having an impact on the war situation?

You said no? Bring the evidence. If humans submit records of research projects as evidence, how can you prove that you did not conceal, hide, or falsify research records?
After all, the scientific research fleet belongs to you. If you want to falsify records, who can tell?
Or more directly, if your technology advances, it will also have an impact on the battlefield situation. This seems to cover a bit too much, but it makes sense logically: How dare you say that your research results will not be used on the battlefield?
Even if it is civilian technology, if your logistics strength is enhanced, it can still affect the battlefield situation.

Sure enough, after changing their strategy, at the court hearing and in the debate, the five major civilizations immediately gained the upper hand.

"Do you have evidence to prove that you are not researching weapons of mass destruction? According to the footage we captured, you have deliberately bombarded neutron stars many times, causing neutron star shocks. Are you researching new kinetic energy weapons?"

"Can you guarantee that your research results will not be used on the battlefield? No? Then why do you say that it will not affect the battlefield situation?"

The legal elites on the human side were speechless, their faces flushed with pain.

In the auditorium, many civilized representatives sighed inwardly.

No matter which aspect you look at this incident, the human side is the one that holds the truth. The defense of the five major civilization alliances is pure rhetoric and sophistry.

But there is no way, the Yinmeng law is not perfect and there are loopholes.

The debate ends with a resounding defeat on the human side.

But this trial is not over yet.

In this case, Yinmeng judges have the final say.

This time, every delegate who attended the meeting could notice that human beings occupied morality and justice, while the Alliance of Five Civilizations occupied truth.

The absurdity is also the truth.

Generally speaking, in this case, the Yinmeng judge will decide that the party with moral and moral rights wins. After all, there are so many spectators, so we have to worry about the social impact.

Besides, what humans ask for is not too much. It is just compensation of tens of thousands of silver coins and some death row prisoners adding a few words of apology on behalf of the dead ghosts.

It can be regarded as full of sincerity.

As long as the verdict is that humanity wins, this trial will be regarded as an explanation both internally and externally, to the Silver Alliance, and to the interstellar society. It can be said to be both public and private.

Even from the bottom of their hearts, the spectators hoped that the human side would win.

but……

The voice of the Yinmeng judge was transmitted to the ears of every participant through the translator: "Human civilization sued the five major civilization alliances for massacre of its own scientific research fleet, and the verdict was lost.

The reason is that the human side cannot prove that its own scientific research fleet will not affect the battlefield situation.

The total cost of the trial is 17 silver coins, which will be borne by the loser.

This trial is over. "

The figure of the Yinmeng judge disappeared directly, and the communication was immediately interrupted. (End of chapter)
