Chapter 404: Civilizational Exchange Has Begun
"There's an alien camp ahead."
A thousand meters away from the alien camp, the convoy stopped, and there happened to be a stone here, where Tang Chao and the others could observe.
Of course, others are carefully observing according to the plan, but Tang Chao is acting with them.
As he got closer and closer to the alien camp, Tang Chao became more and more proficient.
They hid behind rocks, and through the tactical eyepieces on the power armor, they could clearly see the alien camp even from a distance of a thousand meters.
At a distance of a thousand meters, it stands to reason that they can see the aliens' every move, and the aliens should also find them, but the aliens on the other side still do their own thing as if they didn't notice them.
Clean the solar panels.
During the period when humans were preparing to land on Mars, the aliens were not idle, they first snatched Merrican's rover, and then snatched the Navigator's big rover and large helicopter, and then even dismantled the landing equipment carrying both and transported them back to camp.
Although the main role of the landing equipment is "delivery", it does not mean that it is useless after unloading, on the contrary, it has a lot of functions.
For example, this time it was on a sampling mission, and there was a small solid-fuel rocket on it, which could bring samples into orbit, and other messy functions, all of which required electricity, so it unfolded a two-sided solar array.
Later, it was dismantled by the aliens, and the solar panels naturally became the aliens' trophies, who used the debris to repair the spaceship and put the solar panels outside to bask in the sun to provide electricity.
Because it is not a specially designed ground-mounted solar array, dust removal requires manual work.
At this time, one alien was cleaning the solar panels with a gas cylinder, and the other three aliens searched for a while but couldn't find it, presumably in their dilapidated spaceship.
"Their vigilance...... A bit low. ”
The others were still observing, and Tang Chao and the deputy captain retracted behind the stone and began to calculate the next step.
Seeing that aliens are in this situation now, it is indeed a bit unexpected before the vice-captain, and the information seems to be a little off.
"Captain, the other party's situation is a little wrong, and it is not the same as the situation we expected to face before, what should we do next?"
"How? Improvised, of course. ”
Tang Chao opened the protective armor of the helmet, revealing a transparent mask, allowing the deputy captain to see his serious expression, "But the most important thing for us is to send the information first, let them understand some human information first, and we will also see their reactions, so let's do it according to the previous plan first, and release the drone." ”
Seeing Tang Chao's movements, the deputy captain also opened the helmet protective armor, and nodded solemnly after listening to the order, "Understood!" ”
The four combatants were on alert, and the deputy captain re-infected a drone with a battery before releasing it towards the alien camp.
This drone has a display screen in front of it, which can display some information, and is the pioneer of this remote control docking.
At a distance of a thousand meters in a straight line, the drone quickly flew in, and the alien who was working heard a strange sound and looked into the sky, and immediately saw the drone in the sky.
Tang Chao and the others saw this scene through the camera on the drone, and then immediately saw the alien drop the gas cylinder and run into the broken spaceship.
At this scene, everyone was stunned.
"Aliens scared?"
"It depends...... Like. ”
"Alright, concentrate and pay attention to the situation on the other side." Tang Chao said.
After a while, there was still no movement in the alien camp, which made everyone a little bolder.
"Let's move forward a little bit more."
If the other party does not move, then the convoy will have to move, otherwise it will be very unfavorable to the convoy if it is stalemate, after all, the materials carried by the vehicle and the oxygen carried by the power armor are really limited, and it cannot fight a protracted war with the aliens staying in the "base".
The convoy started again, and the red dust was not so rolling, because the distance was relatively close, so they drove slowly.
As the distance got closer, the drone swirled over the alien camp, and the alien still did not respond.
This is strange, it's different from the previous contact, huh?
What went wrong?
Until the convoy drove intermittently to the "door" of the alien camp, the aliens still did not move.
The quiet alien camp, with only a slight rumble.
Tang Chao and others were stunned on the spot, and many viewers on the earth were stunned in front of the screen.
What about the aliens who say that they are furious and don't communicate?
What about the aliens who say that they are evil and inhuman?
When I was wondering, the drama that people like to watch came.
I saw that the hatch of the broken spaceship suddenly opened, and four "power armors" that were one size larger than the power protective suits came out, which were also green.
It's just that the shape module is relatively "broken", and it doesn't seem to have a good air tightness.
“???”
Whether it is the people on Earth or the astronauts in the alien base, they are stunned again.
They know the size of the aliens, they don't even wear spacesuits of less than a meter, and now these big guys are obviously two meters.
What the hell is this?
Can they transform like the Hulk?
Or are they actually Cybertrons??
Everyone could be stunned, including the four combatants, but Tang Chao couldn't be stunned, after all, he was ...... Director.
Fortunately, this is acting, if he really comes into contact with an unfamiliar alien civilization, he will not bring this kind of half-baked "super soldier" at all, but a real warrior.
Even if you are not experienced in a hundred battles, you must be a space soldier trained in strict accordance with the standards of the space age.
"Be vigilant, but don't shoot first!"
"Lower the drone and let them notice the drone's flat panel display!"
"Yes."
No experience is no experience, but fortunately, they are very obedient, and they immediately obeyed Tang Chao's order.
Unlike some sci-fi movies, where the supporting characters are stunned by the sight in front of them, or stand still, or scream in fear, and then keep causing trouble for the protagonist and so on.
I don't know what's going on this time, maybe it's because of the relationship of "getting bigger", the four aliens saw that the drone that lowered the altitude didn't immediately shoot down, but really looked at the picture displayed on the monitor.
The picture is nothing else, it is some flowers and trees, natural scenery, fields and canals, city streets, automatic machinery, people and other pictures, every corner of human society, which is in stark contrast to the desolate scene on Mars.
This bit of stuff really made the four aliens look at it, and they didn't reveal the slightest intention to attack.
Several astronauts were on alert while communicating in an internal channel.
"It's a good sign that they don't even have attack drones."
"Well, the last time the unmanned helicopter made a sound, it was shot down, and this time it didn't do anything."
"You said that we did not contact the right way last time, which is why we caused such a situation, and now this is the right way to contact, right?"
"I think it's probably so, they are on an alien planet, the spaceship is scrapped, and they may have overreacted to certain behaviors, but also to protect themselves, you see that they are calm now, maybe because they passed on the power armor like us."
"This thing...... It's a mecha for them, right? Sure enough, the hard armor can be intimidating. ”
"Quiet, they're reacting."
At the end of the clip, the scene of astronauts in green power armor is displayed, and they are armed with electromagnetic rifles to shoot at walls, stones, trees, and vehicles, and the destructive power is considerable.
This sight made the aliens suddenly take a step back, probably from the comfort of civilization to the violent part, which made them a little uncomfortable.
Seeing this action, Tang Chao knew that the time was coming, so he beckoned everyone to step forward, but the muzzle of the gun was facing outward, not facing the aliens.
The aliens saw them coming, and the weapon they saw in the picture just now was not aimed at them, so they didn't jump like thunder like the last time no one touched them, but also calmly took a few steps forward.
The first real encounter between humans and aliens has only begun now.
