Chapter 18: Charging

"Do you think I'll tell you?" Christy looked at Zhou Xin like a fool, "This is one of the secrets of our base. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Uh-I'll just ask, and you don't answer." Zhou Xin replied weakly.

"So what are you still doing standing here?" Seeing that Zhou Xin was still standing next to her stupidly, she urged angrily, "If you don't go and fix my planetary car, do you still want to cure my mother." ”

"Good, good." Zhou Xin only reacted at this time, and he hurriedly replied, "I'll go right away." Knowing that Christy didn't like robots, Zhou Xin didn't call the robots in, but went out to give orders......

The next day, the engineering robot repaired Christy's planetary car, so Zhou Xin took Christy to the place where the planetary car was placed.

Christy looked at the parts scattered on the ground speechlessly, and then said to Zhou Xin, "This is what you said was repaired?" ”

"This-" Zhou Xin felt a little embarrassed, he hurriedly beckoned an engineering robot next to him and asked, "What's going on, didn't it mean that it was repaired?" What's going on in this place now? ”

The engineering robot replied solemnly, "Yes, it has been repaired, but due to the structural damage caused to the planet rover during the dismantling process, and we don't know if the use of alternative materials will affect the communication of the planet rover, we can only connect all its parts together and cannot restore the original state of the planet rover." ”

"......" Zhou Xin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and he slowly turned his head back to Christie's direction, "Uh-look--engineering robots have said so, it should be assembled-do you want to try it first-"

Before Zhou Xin finished speaking, Christy had already squatted down, looking for a communication device in the garbage, and it took a long time for her to finally find a blue square switch in the garbage, she pressed the switch, and then quietly waited for the reaction under the planet car, but after a long time, nothing happened.

This next week's letter is very embarrassing, "Is this - broken?" He hurriedly called the engineering robot again, "Are you sure you've picked everything up?" Why still can't it be used? ”

"The machine is indeed restored according to the structure of the components before disassembly, and if there is any damage, it can only be that it was damaged before disassembly." The engineering robot replied.

Zhou Xin was immediately helpless, and he said to Christy, who was still looking for something on the ground: "It seems that your planetary car should have broken down a long time ago. ”

Christy didn't pay attention to Zhou Xin, she picked up a plate-like thing and a small red button from the ground, she pressed the red button, and then stared at the plate for a long time, after a while, she looked up at Zhou Xin and asked, "You didn't charge the planet car?" ”

"Recharged?" Zhou Xin asked stupidly, "What can you do?" ”

Christy looked at Zhou Xin speechlessly, "If you don't charge it, do you think that the planet car can move to eat, or do you think that there will be energy in the planet car that you dismantled like this?" ”

"Thisβ€”" Zhou Xin was even more embarrassed, he scratched his head, "Of course not, I just didn't think about it." I'm going to let the engineering robot charge it. As he spoke, he turned his head to instruct the engineering robot on standby next to him, and then she reacted, and he turned his head back in Christie's direction, "This- what kind of energy does your planetary vehicle need?" ”

Christy was stumped by this question, she thought for a moment, and then described: "This is a very special kind of energy, this energy is extracted from the light of the stars, we store the extracted energy in a special container, and then connect this container to the planetary rover, the planetary rover can move, and all its functions are supported by this energy storage container." ”

Hearing Christy's description, Zhou Xin suddenly had a very familiar feeling, and he asked, "What about this energy, what is its nature?" ”

Christy pondered for a moment how to describe it, and then replied, "Uh--there is no natural phenomenon on earth where a light falls from the sky and then the earth starts to catch fire, and that energy is of a similar nature to that light." She described it awkwardly.

After listening to her description, Zhou Xin was silent, and seeing that Zhou Xin was silent, Christy put on a natural look and said, "It seems that you haven't studied the natural phenomena on your planet, is this kind of energy still too advanced for you?" That's a bit harder. She looked embarrassed, "I don't know how to make this kind of energy generation device, it's too bad, how do I contact the base?" There was a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Hearing Christy's words, Zhou Xin came back to his senses, and then, speechlessly, he pointed to the lamp on the ceiling and asked, "Do you know what this thing uses as energy?" Seeing Christy looking at herself with a puzzled expression, Zhou Xin explained helplessly, "This is the energy you described, this energy is called electricity in our language, this is the most commonly used energy source now, basically the devices you see on the ship are powered by this energy, even these robots." As he spoke, he gestured to the robot next to him.

Although she knew that these robots were not her enemies, Christy was still instinctively a little afraid, but after listening to Zhou Xin's words, she showed a surprised expression, "It turns out that you are also using this high-grade energy?" It turns out that it's called electricity in your language, which is a bit of a coincidence. ”

"Do you think we're a civilization that uses low-grade energy? Also explained to me for so long. Zhou Xin's expression was a little unhappy.

Christy showed an embarrassed expression, and she hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, advanced energy is our own civilization's own statement, and I just explained so much because I didn't know you called it electricity." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm kidding you." Zhou Xin smiled and waved his hand at her, "If you treated me like that yesterday, I just treated others in the same way." ”

"When did you still make this kind of joke?" Christy spoke in a reproachful tone.

"Alright, alright." Zhou Xin said, "Since you know that your planetary vehicle uses electric energy, it's simple, just charge it directly, you can find out the charging interface first, and I'll ask the engineering robot to bring the battery." ”

After a long time, Christy finally found the charging port from the mess, and the engineering robot had already brought various types of batteries from another place and waited beside it.

"Let's start with the low battery." Zhou Xin said as he took out a button battery from a pile of batteries and handed it to Christy's hand.

Christy held the charging port with one hand, and then pinched the small button battery with two fingers with the other hand, and said helplessly to Zhou Xin: "Do you think this kind of thing can charge such a big planet car?" Your energy technology is too high-end, and do you think such a large interface can be connected to this thing? With that, she leaned the charging port against the coin cell battery.

"This-" Zhou Xin suddenly became embarrassed, "Accidental." He laughed, and then he took the button cell from Christy and threw it back at the stack, then picked up a number five battery and handed it to her.

"Can you take a look at the size and then bring it over." Christy took the battery and put it next to the charging port and compared, "Or do you think this size is enough?" ”

"......" Zhou Xin silently took the No. 5 battery from his hand, and then took out a milk carton-sized battery from the battery stack and handed it to Christy.

Christy connected the battery to the charging port, but after waiting for a long time, Zhou Xin didn't see any reaction from the wreckage.

"Nope." Christy removed the battery and handed it back to Zhou Xin, who took the battery and handed him the larger one.

"Nope." "No." "No. "Still doesn't work", "This doesn't work either. "Not enough energy", Zhou Xin and Christy tried many times but still couldn't activate the planet car. And there are not many batteries in the battery stack that have not been tried yet.

"Could it be that the charging port is broken?" Christy said skeptically.

"The battery hasn't been tried yet, let's try again." Zhou Xin took the useless battery from Christy's hand and handed her a new one. After a while, the pile of wreckage still didn't respond.

Disappointed, Christy removed the battery from the charging port, and she glanced at the stack to see that there were only two unused batteries left.

Seeing Christy's disappointed gaze, Zhou Xin comforted: "Don't worry, these are just our portable energy sources, if they don't work, then we also have a larger capacity fixed power interface." ”

Christy didn't speak, she mechanically took the battery from Zhou Xin's hand, and then connected it to the charging port with a blank face.

But this time it didn't seem to disappoint her, and after a while, Zhou Xin heard a "tick-" sound from the pile of wreckage on the ground, and then the disc that Christy had picked up and put at her feet lit up, showing some Atlantean on it.

Seeing that the wreckage of the planet car finally reacted, Christie, who was still worried just now, suddenly became happy, and Zhou Xin also breathed a sigh of relief. Christy glanced at what was displayed on the disc, and then said to Zhou Xin: "Okay, the planetary car is already charging, and the next thing is to wait for the charging to be completed." ”

"How long does it take?" Zhou Xin asked a key question.

Christy glanced at the wreckage on the ground and said helplessly: "God knows, I've never charged such a pile of wreckage, anyway, there will be a hint after it's full, just wait." ”

"Okay." Zhou Xin looked at the wreckage in a place and was a little helpless, he called an engineering robot from the side, told it to take care of the wreckage, and notify him when the charge was completed, and then Zhou Xin took Christy to leave the place first.

A few hours later, Zhou Xin, who was playing with Xiaobai in the eco-cabin, received a notification from the engineering robot, so he left Xiaobai and let him play by himself, while he left the eco-cabin to go to the medical pod to find Christy.

After learning about her mother's condition, Christy now stays with her in the medical cabin all day except for the things she has to do, and even gives up her daily routine of language study. However, Zhou Xin also understands this, and the Voyager has also collected enough information in Atlantean for daily communication, so Zhou Xin also let her move freely.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xin arrived in the medical cabin, while Christy was sitting quietly on the edge of the hospital bed watching her mother. Zhou Xin saw that she seemed to be thinking about something, and she didn't even hear the sound of opening the door.

Zhou Xin walked a few steps to Christie's side, and at this time, she came back to her senses, and when she saw Zhou Xin standing beside her, she asked softly, "Is the charge of the planet car completed?" Seeing Zhou Xin nodding, she stood up and urged, "Then hurry up and let my mother wake up as soon as possible." ”

Arriving at the cabin where the planetary rover was placed, Zhou Xin saw from a distance that the engineering robot was still standing there, and he and Christy walked to the side of the wreckage. Some of the wreckage that had been scattered on the ground without moving was already in motion, and some of the wreckage was even glittering. Seeing this, Christy walked quickly to the middle of the wreckage and began to search, from time to time she picked up the light wreckage on the ground and observed, and then shook her head and put it back in its original place. After searching for a long time, she walked to the edge of the wreckage, picked up a piece of shards glowing with blue light, looked at it for a moment, and then stopped.

"Found it, this is it, communication module." She said to Zhou Xin, "It's really easy for me to find it." ”

"Now that you've found it, let's try it quickly."

"Don't worry, there is an operation panel in addition to this, you can come over and help me hold it first." Christy said.

This time it didn't take much time, Christy checked two more pieces of the communication module and found the operation panel after handing it to Zhou Xin. Once she had found these two things, she tried to contact the Atlantis base.

However, Christy operated for a long time, and Zhou Xin didn't see any reaction to the communication module in his hand. The text displayed on the module has never changed, and no sound has come out. In the end, Christy seemed to be a little impatient, she took the operation panel and knocked it on the ground, Zhou Xin broke out in a cold sweat, afraid that she would knock the operation panel out, but to his surprise, Christy knocked it three times, and the communication module in his hand reacted......
