The meaning of the message sent by Nuwa can be summed up in two words: broken.

That alien ship is broken.

The reactor stopped working, and the electricity was cut off.

The robot opens the hatch and finds the body of an alien in the control room of the alien spaceship.

The corpse was dressed in a spacesuit, holding a Gauss pistol in his hand, a bloody hole in the opening of his head, and a transparent hood covered in green blood.

"Suicide, judging by its death posture, it should be suicidal."

Nuwa said.

"Suicide?"

Chen Jinyi's head was a question mark: "Why did it commit suicide?" ”

After successfully completing the mission, shouldn't this alien spy rush back to receive the reward happily, how could he choose to commit suicide?

"I don't know, please give me two days, I'm trying to find a way to restore the power supply system of this spaceship, collect some information storage, and strive to analyze some valuable information."

"Well, it's better to get everything into the picture, I want to know the whole truth!"

……

Two days later.

When Chen Jin returned to the Dakeng base again, turned on the telecommunicator, and asked Nuwa about the results of the investigation.

Nuwa said: "Master, although it is not 100% confirmed, I have basically investigated the general situation, and you can ask your questions." ”

"Good! Tell me what you have found. ”

Chen Jin said: "What I want to know most is why this alien spacecraft did not leave Mars, but continued to stay on Mars, and it should be gone." ”

"Yes, master, it is supposed to be gone, but due to the lack of energy of the spacecraft, it did not even get rid of the energy of Mars' gravity, and hurried back."

Nuwa shook her head: "It's very confusing, their spacecraft doesn't have enough energy left to return to their home planet. ”

Nuwa also introduced that the energy system carried by the alien spacecraft is a very small reactor, which can not exceed 50 cubic meters.

However, the reactor is extremely powerful, as it burns a blue block of energy.

The energy contained in the energy block is very high, and the fist-sized piece is equivalent to tens of thousands of tons of coal.

However, the ship's energy blocks have been exhausted, and the reactor's control panel has been prompting to replenish the energy blocks, and showing what the energy blocks look like.

"How so?"

Chen Jin was very surprised: "Could it be that the alien spy is on a one-way spaceship, and he can only come over, not go back?" ”

"Master, you guessed it."

Nuwa nodded and said, "You described it very accurately, this is a one-way spaceship, and the chip used to store navigation data in the console of the spacecraft is burned; In addition, the main engine at the bottom of the ship was severely damaged, apparently caused by an internal explosion...... The self-destruct program has been activated. ”

"The purpose is to prevent this ship from returning."

This......

Chen Jin was a little stunned: "What does this mean, the task has been successfully completed, what does it mean not to let it go back?" ”

A term popped up in his head: rabbit dead dog cooking.

Or is it ...... The sorrow of the chess piece?

"Master, I found some log videos, recorded by the suicide alien, in the videos it is very emotional, it is scolding loudly, its expression is very desperate."

"Based on its movements, expressions, and eyes, I tried to decipher the meaning of its words, and I could decipher about 50% of the meaning."

"Obviously what it expresses most is its anger, it is asking loudly, 'Why are you so deceived about me?' it is scolding the superiors who drive them, 'you bastards,' 'I'm going to kill you,' and then it has nothing but despair and fear, it is whispering 'Shall I die in this place?'...... In the end, after surviving for about 3,700 days, it chose to pull out a gun and kill itself. ”

As she spoke, Nuwa pulled up video clips and shared the general process of an alien spy going from anger to madness to despair and suicide.

"After living for more than 3,000 days, more than 10 years, how did it do it? Is there enough food and water on board? ”

"The immigration base, it has survived for so long on the water and materials in the immigration base, but the reactor of the spaceship has stopped, and the materials in the base have also been exhausted, lacking oxygen, food, and water...... In order to reduce the suffering, it can only choose suicide. ”

Chen Jin nodded, in an environment like Mars, under limited resources, living alone for ten years is already a performance of survival master.

But he still can't resist the fate that belongs to him.

But Chen Jin is still a little incomprehensible, two spies with excellent comprehensive quality, relatively easy tasks, why have they still become pathetic outcasts, abandoned by their civilization?

Would it cost a lot of money to add a few more energy blocks to their ship and let them go back?

Nuwa put forward her guess:

"Master, I think it may be the reason for these three aspects, let them be superiors, and treat them as one-time pawns."

"First, avoid the risk of mission failure."

"Since it is an espionage mission, there is a chance of success, but there is also a risk of failure, and if it succeeds, it is easy to do anything, but what if it fails? Aren't their galactic coordinates immediately exposed? Become a captive spy if you take a large fleet of revenge with them and go to their homeland...... They certainly don't want this outcome, even though the probability of failure is low. ”

"Second, cost savings."

"Assuming that their bureaucracy is very corrupt and there is a lot of favoritism, they may give half of the energy block and embezzle the other half. Or they don't want to give task rewards and divide the achievements of meritorious service...... At the same time, it deprives the meritorious service of a chance to expose them. ”

"Third, evade public opinion and moral blame."

"No matter what kind of intelligent civilization (eradicating the Zerg and machine civilization), if there is only an evil side, there is no possibility of going to the interstellar era at all, it has already self-destructed, it must be restrained by goodness and morality, and there is a group of intermediate rational people to occupy the upper class...... Only then can civilization develop and grow. ”

"So they don't usually do anything to destroy other civilizations."

"And once you do it, you take a lot of risks, the good ones will lash out, and the neutral ones will be quite complaining."

"In order to silence the mouths of people from both factions, the best thing to do is not let anyone know, so as to avoid the influence of public opinion and fall into a passive situation."

"So you need to do things a little bit."

"Master, I'm more inclined to guess the first and third."

Nuwa's analysis made Chen Jin nod again and again.

In the coming era, it is an era of highly developed consulting, and the voice of a single individual is insignificant, but as long as the news is fierce enough, it may attract the attention of billions of people and blow a storm of public opinion.

Besides, there is good and evil in human nature, there are left and right, and in the end it is a rough balance, and going to any extreme will become a huge disaster.

Therefore, the civilization behind the two alien spies cannot be 100% characterized as an evil civilization, it may be dominated by the evil one.

Even from the sentences written in those diaries about missing hometown, we can know that the devil also loves his hometown.

Within the devil, there are also some philosophical differences.

In essence, even like human civilization, if human civilization reaches an extremely high level of science and technology, and suddenly discovers that there are low-level civilizations with certain potential and threats around it, it may also turn into a devil for its own interests.

In short, in this universe, there is no absolute good and evil between various intelligent civilizations, only the difference between strong and weak.

……

"Nuwa, with the help of this spaceship, can we lock the coordinates of the galaxy where the alien civilization is located?"

"Not for the time being, their navigation data has self-destructed, we can only infer based on other information, maybe it is possible to lock the location of the alien civilization."

"This ......" Chen Jin shook his head, damn aliens, they still play this hand.

"Don't be discouraged, master, although we didn't get the navigation data, but our harvest this time can still be described as a 'bumper harvest', and even through that alien spacecraft, we can determine the scientific and technological development route for the next hundred years, and we have a lot of physical references with extremely high value at hand...... It is no exaggeration to say that the value of this alien spaceship is equivalent to that of a planet. ”

Oh~

Chen Jin's eyes lit up.
