"Yes, the results of the scan, you have seen it, and there is nothing wrong with it." The captain said.

"But that's a little weird, isn't it? I haven't figured out what it is, so it's too risky, right? King Kong shook his head from his fear.

"That's right! This thing is dangerous. And, if it really is it that paralyzes the ship's systems...... Then its energy must be very huge, and there will be space radiation! Horton's face was horrified. Maybe there's a cosmic virus, or、Maybe it's carrying an unknown parasite, or even itself! ”

"But...... I agree with the Captain's judgment that it looks harmless at the moment, and that we have to study it before we can make a trade-off. Kim said with some hesitation, his sanity as an explorer prevailed.

"Are you all crazy? Nobody knows, this thing ......" Horton still had a lingering feeling about what he had just experienced.

"Gentlemen, we brought it in to study it just to find out what it is!" The captain interrupted him.

"Well, if we keep talking about it, the result will be the same - still nothing. The only way to do that is to detect it. Everybody! Let me remind you that this is a mineral science exploration ship, and we are not here for a vacation, so we may have to face this unknown situation every day! Isn't that what we do? ”

"And, if you don't take it back, are you going to let it hang out until we return to the surface? In my opinion, if we are careful enough, as long as it passes our tests......" The captain raised his eyes to the other two: "Then we have a good reason to take it back!" ”

The captain finally nodded affirmatively, and his tone was firm.

It seems that there is no better way.

So, the robotic arm moved, and it was easy to put the thing into the hull.

It wasn't until the thing was placed on the research bench inside the spaceship that the three men in isolation suits began to look at it carefully with the naked eye.

Obviously, this thing didn't come naturally.

Smaller than a human fist, an adult can easily grab it with one hand. Anyone who has seen it at a glance can search for something similar from memory.

It has a relatively symmetrical shape, like the kind of wood carvings that some tribes in Africa sell to tourists, but it is certainly not made of wood.

It's much lighter than wood, and it's a strange bird totem.

The results of the material comparison cannot be determined, because of the relationship between its mass and volume, and everyone understands that it is not something known to man.

Its shape made it feel like an unchanging solid, until when Jin X-rayed its surface, the thing suddenly became somewhat transparent, and at the same time, the three of them saw a strange scene! The object seemed to fluctuate a bit, and there was a ripple on its surface, as if the object's atomic arrangement had changed, if it was made of atoms.

"How amazing this thing is!" Kim couldn't help but admire.

"Don't you think it's like a god? Statue of a bird god, once upon a time, there was a similar sculpture in my grandmother's house. Kim continued.

"Yes, Bird Statue!" The other two couldn't agree anymore.

In this way, this thing is called "Bird God Statue".

After using all the testing equipment on the ship, the three of them still couldn't judge any of its properties.

The only conclusion that can be determined is that it is "an object made by unknown intelligent life outside the earth".

Three weeks later, the Mineral Exploration Ship arrived safely on Planet Earth.

Subsequently, the "Bird Statue" was returned to the Mineral Company on Earth, and a few days later, it was sent to the scientific research center of the "Planetary Council".

Captain Kraken and two other crew members co-authored a discovery report, which was sent to the research center along with their mineral survey records.

————————————

Second report.

Reported by West, a researcher at Tesla's laboratory under the Planetary Council.

Here's what the report says:

"Bird Statue" - is a small thing.

There is no doubt that this thing is clearly not naturally generated. Compositional analysis revealed that it was composed of an unknown element that was intermediate between an organism and a metal-like element.

There is a certain wisdom in this thing, or its creator.

People have received some information from it, maybe it comes from a planet, maybe it's on a star somewhere in the galaxy, maybe it's in the void of the universe, in some corner of the dark fragment......

Who knows?

Maybe it's just a phantom that one day when people turn around and it disappears into thin air.

However, humans have good reason to study it.

On this thing, there is a huge amount of data, which is said to be a certain coordinate of the universe, and there are other unknown things - traces of intelligent beings. What lies dormant on it also contains a lot of unreadable meanings and a lot of unsolved information.

However, it is only a matter of time before it is deciphered.

A month later, the "Planetary Council" heard a preliminary report from the scientific research center.

Most interesting is the scene of the "Bird Statue" at the bold touch of a researcher, full of dedication to science, to the horror of most of the officials present. The apocalyptic existence was immediately sealed off by intelligence, and the matter was to be kept strictly secret until further discovery was made. It is even likely to upend human cognition, causing social panic and popular vacanism, in which case the situation will be very difficult to control.

Subsequent research has also made new discoveries, that is, after countless experiments, the "Bird God Statue" has shown some new situations.

First of all, this thing has the ability to absorb "waves". The main thing is to absorb biological fluctuations, to put it bluntly, that is, biological fluctuations caused by human contact. One night after absorbing the biological waves, the instrument detected that it emitted regular electromagnetic waves.

The researchers experimented with a variety of animals, sheep, dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, ......

It was also detected that the energy fluctuations generated by the "Bird Statue" after being touched by those animals. However, the fluctuations caused by human contact are significantly much more intense.

Knowing this, the researchers began to collect waveform data non-stop. Finally, after a large amount of data retrieval, after several days of calculation and analysis by the MAX5003 main brain, the dot images of those electromagnetic waves were confirmed.

Because the distribution of this image, the size and position of each point, no matter how you look at it, are the coordinates of the solar system!

Just the cosmic coordinates of the solar system, the coordinates of this tiny galaxy in the Milky Way that spans 100,000 light-years, are enough to shock humanity.

This discovery made people even more frightened, if the previous display picture was the end of the world, too far away from us, but this time it is different, the coordinates of the solar system! What does that mean?

One possible solution is that the "Bird Statue" is emitting the coordinates of the solar system through some channel. However, this conclusion was soon rejected because waves of this energy level are difficult to detect, not to mention on the scale of the vast universe, even in the Earth's atmosphere. In short, the behavior of the coordinates of the electromagnetic waves of the solar system emitted by it is more like being emitted to itself, or rather, to intelligent beings who come into contact with it.

What followed became even more interesting...... After absorbing more biological fluctuations, the electromagnetic waves generated by the "Bird God Statue" also became more complex.

At first, people thought it was another kind of warning code, but then they realized that it was wrong, and the laws of these electromagnetic waves were constantly changing, as if they were retrieving something, just like a human being is constantly searching for things on the Internet with a computer.

Eventually, the pattern of the waveform became clear, and it was apparently also a coordinate, pointing to a region in the South Gate 2 galaxy.
