Chapter 6: The Creator Is Dead
The three expedition vehicles left the Prometheus and headed for the Engineer's Fortress not far away, while Vickers stood on the bridge with a worried face, and if anyone wanted the search party to find the Creator the least, it would probably be her.
As Pete Weran's daughter, she knows some secrets that these people don't know, such as Pete Weland is not dead, such as why Pete Weland wants to invest in this research, and even came to this alien planet in person, because Pete Weland doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to lose his life just like that, lose everything he created, so he desperately wants the Fire One, until one day he sees a very interesting theory, and some partial evidence that can formalize this theory.
Since humans are made by engineers, engineers must also be able to give him the ability to live forever, so Pete Welland also followed the Prometheus to this planet with this hope or ambition, and is now lying in a dormant pod, waiting for a response from David, a robot who is absolutely loyal to him.
"What are you thinking? It always feels like you don't want them to discover the Creator. Captain Zach said with a smile when he saw Vickers.
"I'm just thinking about what the king said before he left." Of course, Wickers wouldn't tell him the truth, but she actually did care about what Wang Xiaoming said before.
"Oh, what about that?" Captain Zach asked, confused.
"If this is the Engineer's planet, why is it now desolate, with no signs of life, don't you think it's very unreasonable?" Vickers turned to look at Captain Zack, the black man, and said.
On the other side, the exploration car drove for more than ten minutes and finally came to the front of the engineer's fortress, and then found that the vehicle could not enter, so everyone got out of the car and walked towards this mysterious fortress.
"What are you doing here?" No matter how Elizabeth Shaw looks at Wang Xiaoming, she feels uncomfortable, and she can't help but pick on it.
"Protect you, lady idiot." Wang Xiaoming is not a man who can't walk when he sees a woman, especially a woman who is-for-tat with himself, so he directly calls the other party an idiot lady, after all, his employer is Vickers, and this woman can't control him.
Charlie, apparently all his mind was drawn to the engineer, and he urged a few times impatiently, and then everyone walked into the dark passage of the fortress together. Wang Xiaoming glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao vaguely, and the other party shook his head slightly to indicate that everything was OK.
At this time, the bad boy geologist took out his housekeeping treasure, several spherical flying machines that can automatically explore the terrain, Wang Xiaoming was a little greedy for this thing, and felt that he might be able to quietly take one or two for research.
With the spherical probe present, a virtual model was drawn on the side of the spaceship, and the people who were exploring followed the geologists, gradually going further. Then the crowd saw a relatively empty space.
There were several vents on the hole, and sunlight seemed to enter the interior of the space through this side, and then formed a liquid similar to water here, which amazed the scientists, and then Charlie began to check the composition of the liquid, as well as the air around it, because he felt that it seemed to be able to breathe.
"There's carbon dioxide in the air, but it's not the toxic gas out there, which means it's breathable." The tall and mighty woman named Ford checked it and said.
As soon as Elizabeth Shaw saw her boyfriend's expression, she knew what the other party was going to do, and immediately said in surprise: "Charlie, what are you going to do?" Don't mess around. ”
"Hey, David, tell me about the situation here." Charlie asked David the robot with a smile.
David smiled when he heard this, and said, "As you might guess, the air here is perfectly suitable for human life. ”
Hearing David's words, Charlie took off his helmet without saying a word, Wang Xiaoming was speechless for a moment after seeing it, your sister's scientist! How can there be such a completely unscientific scientist, but since it has been confirmed that the air here can breathe, everyone has taken off the hood of the protective suit one after another.
After taking off the mask, their actions seemed to be a little faster, at this time Wang Xiaoming was actually paying attention to David's movements, and the rest of the people were walking in front, only David seemed to have discovered the text of the engineer spaceship, and then began to study very curiously.
"What did you find?" Wang Xiaoming walked over and asked.
David turned his head to look at Wang Xiaoming, and then said, "This, it's very interesting, do you want to give it a try?" ”
"Are those the Engineer's words?" Wang Xiaoming looked at the marks on it and said knowingly.
"Yes, this one seems to be able to see some of the images that were stored before, maybe we can see the information left by the engineers." David explained, then pressed a few times on the notches.
Wang Xiaoming shrugged, David at this time seemed to be purely a curious child, he didn't know how Pete Wellan designed such a robot in the first place, but he knew that David was blackened in the back, so he always remained vigilant against David Wang Xiaoming, after all, if you are not careful, you may drink something like wine or tea mixed with black water
David's actions worked, and the alien ship's storage system activated, re-evolving the previous situation in the mode of virtual images, and everyone followed the tall image of the engineer to the ship's hatch, where there happened to be the corpse of a headless engineer.
Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Harlowe seem to have picked up a treasure, but the others are not so good, and what they have believed in all their lives is completely overturned at this moment, and everyone will feel irritated.
"Is this what an engineer is called?" Wang Xiaoming walked over and asked.
"Looks like it's him, we need to find out when he died." Elizabeth Shaw and Ford looked at the engineer's corpse and began to study.
"It's a pity that your so-called Creator is dead." Zhang Meng looked at Elizabeth with an excited face on the side and said, who let this woman just keep targeting Wang Xiaoming.
As soon as Zhang Meng's words came out, all the scientists were silent, after all, these people didn't come all the way to study corpses, and if the guy who fell to the ground and died for an unknown number of years was the creator, then who killed them? It's scary to think about.
"Damn, I'm getting out of here, I don't want to stay here anymore." The first to break down was the bad-boy geologist Farfield.
