Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Strange Attitude

After the construction ship crossed the ice bridge, the communicator suddenly rang, and Zhou Xin opened the communication to find Spred and the others looking at him with a concerned face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"What for? Is it necessary to send a message so grandly? Seeing that all the people on the screen were looking at him with the same concern as Spred, Zhou Xin said jokingly.

"What happened before?" Spred asked, "Did you turn off the communications?" Why was it suddenly interrupted. ”

"Interrupted?" Zhou Xin looked puzzled, "No, the communicator has been on." ”

"Soon after the ship landed, we lost contact with the ship." Spred said, "We just resumed contact with you. ”

"The interruption lasted thirty-two minutes and fifteen seconds." Behind Spred came a refill from the Voyager.

Hearing the traveler's report, Zhou Xin was very surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”

"Soon after the engineering ship landed, the ship's communication system was interfered with in all bands, and the ship's attempts to contact you by various methods failed."

"Not even Sister Christie's communicator works." Ralph added on the side.

After listening to Ralph's words, Zhou Xin had a faint conjecture in his heart, but he still asked, "Have you found the location of the source of interference?" ”

"Right on the surface of the planet." The Voyager replied, "It's only ten kilometers from where you landed. ”

"That's what the Atlanteans did." Zhou Xin said, "Otherwise, why would the source of interference be on the planet, and even Christy's communicator can't be used." ”

Spred nodded, "I thought so too. ”

"It's too much." Ralph cried out angrily, "We were kind enough to give them back, and they still use this tactic against us. ”

Seeing that Christy was a little embarrassed on the screen, Zhou Xin hurriedly persuaded: "Forget it, they may be for safety reasons, and I'm fine." Then, decisively, he changed the subject, "Christy, do you know who I just met?" ”

"Who?" Before Christy could answer, Ralph hurriedly asked.

Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by himself, Zhou Xin replied: "It's your grandfather, he personally came to pick up your mother just now." ”

Christy was slightly surprised, "Did he come in person?" It didn't take long for her to calm down, "That's right, my grandfather is in charge of the security of the base, and it's really not strange that he came down in person." ”

"What does Sister Christy's grandfather look like?" Ralph asked curiously, and then Zhou Xin described Dart's appearance to Spred, especially his eyes.

After listening to Zhou Xin's words, everyone looked at Christy's eyes curiously, and she was a little embarrassed to see her. At this time, Ralph exclaimed, "Yes, if you look closely, Sister Atlantis also has a golden thread in her eyes!" Then Zhou Xin asked curiously: "Why is there such a big difference in the color of your pupils from your grandfather, could it be that the Atlanteans have different races like us?" ”

Christy explained, "No, there is only one race of Atlanteans, but the color of our pupils varies from age to age. Newborn Atlantean babies have sky-blue pupils, and as they get older, a faint golden color begins to appear in the pupils, which covers the entire pupil when the Atlanteans reach prime of life. Then, as we age, the gold in the pupils will be replaced by purple until it turns purple completely. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "Why do your eyes look like this?" ”

"I don't know." Christy also shook her head in confusion, "Although the ancestors have also studied this phenomenon, but only found the substances that produce these colors in the eyes, but the ancestors have not figured out why there is such a color change." ”

"That's it......" Zhou Xin nodded thoughtfully, and then he raised his head and said to everyone, "Okay, now the people who should be contacted have also been contacted, you should do the work, and the rest will be talked about when I return to the ship." Before they could answer Zhou Xin, the communication ended, and he had been nervously unable to sleep since yesterday, and he could just take a good rest while the engineering ship returned.

More than two hours of boring flight......

Zhou Xin was woken up by the report of the main engine of the engineering ship, and after waking up, he found that the engineering ship had been parked in the dock. He left the engineering ship and returned to the command cabin, and at the moment when the door of the command cabin opened, a figure rushed out of it, and this figure rushed to Zhou Xin and stopped, and then he heard Ralph's familiar voice, "Uncle Captain, you are finally back." ”

Looking at her hurried appearance, Zhou Xin asked, "What's wrong, did something happen during the time I came back?" ”

"Nope." Ralph gasped, "I'm just out there to see if you're hurt." ”

"Do you think I'm hurt?" Saying that, Zhou Xin also took a turn in front of Ralph.

"It's good that it's not hurt." Ralph patted his chest, and then he took Zhou Xin's hand and walked into the command cabin, "Come in, everyone is in a hurry." ”

After entering the command cabin, Zhou Xin saw that everyone in the command cabin turned their heads to look at him, Zhou Xin nodded at them, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't they all contact just now?" What are you looking at me like this? ”

Spred spoke: "When the host checked the video near the interference time period just now, it was found that our communication was hacked shortly after your engineering ship departed, and the communication information between us was processed by the Atlanteans, so we can't be sure if the communication with you two hours ago was also rewritten by the Atlanteans, so we can only wait for you to come back to really confirm your safety." ”

Suddenly Zhou Xin was surprised, he first turned his head to look at Christie, and found that she was looking at him apologetically, Zhou Xin waved his hand at her, and then asked the Voyager, "Isn't it impossible to confirm whether the call between us has been rewritten?" How did you notice that the communication between us was out of order in the first place? ”

"Shortly after your departure, there was a delay of less than half a second in the communication between the ship and the engineering ship, and at first the ship thought that it might be caused by the magnetic field of the planet, but after the strong interference ended, the ship found that the delay of less than half a second disappeared. In addition, there was a situation of information confusion in the communication process before the strong interference, and this phenomenon has also disappeared later. Based on this, we judged that during that period of time our communication should have been through the hands of a third party. ”

"And this third party will be no one else but the Atlanteans." Spred added on the side.

"Of course, it is also possible that the ship's communication system is malfunctioning, but this is very unlikely." The Voyager added.

"Is there a way to protect against this intrusion?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Theoretically impossible." The Voyager replied, "The technological gap between us and the Atlanteans is too great, and our ship has not yet analyzed how our communications are being interfered with, so we can't find a way to counter it." ”

"What about you, Christy?" Zhou Xin bricked and looked at Christy, "Do you know how they did it?" ”

Regrettably, Christy also shook her head, "I also checked the communication at the reminder of the Voyager only to find that even my communication module was interfered with, this is not civilian technology, I don't know how they did it." ”

"Your skills are not as good as others." Zhou Xin sighed and said, "Forget it, don't pursue this matter first." After this exchange, I found that although the Atlanteans are hostile to us for the time being, they are not impossible to change. He then described the handover in detail to the people in the command module, concluding, "While Dart is still suspicious of our true identity, and the men he brought with him are clearly hostile to us, they are not overtly hostile. I don't know if it's because of the strength of the enemies who attack them, or if it's something else, but it gives us the opportunity to explain our origins to the Atlanteans. ”

"I think it's going to be difficult to explain." Spred said worriedly, "Judging from what you just described, the other two Atlanteans except Dart didn't believe your claims at all. They seem to be very wary of you, believing that any of your claims are an attempt to deceive them, and even that Dart may not seem to believe you very much. As he spoke, he glanced at Christy, "Maybe this relative trust is based on the fact that he is Christy's grandfather, and if it weren't for this relationship, I think even he would have the same attitude towards you as the other two." ”

"That's enough." Zhou Xin said, "Didn't Christy have the same deep hostility to us as those two Atlanteans at the beginning, but now? Didn't she change her mind, not to mention that Dart still had a little bit of trust in us. And the information I gave them this time was much more detailed than the one I showed Christy, and they couldn't have thought that we had made it up with such complete information. ”

"I don't think you should be so optimistic." Spred's tone was still worried, "You still have to be prepared for the Atlanteans not to change their attitudes." ”

"Well, I'll think about your thoughts." Zhou Xin saw that Spred insisted on his idea, and he became a little serious, but he still didn't think it was true in his heart, he didn't think this would happen.

As Spred voiced her concern, Christy looked thoughtful, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing that Spred seemed to have something to say to himself, Zhou Xin waved his hand at him again and again, "Okay, don't tell me if there is no important situation, I want to sleep well first, unless there is an important situation, otherwise wait for me to wake up." As he spoke, he walked towards his room......

For the next week, the Atlanteans never reached out to the Voyager. Only Christy made two contacts with the base, but both times for a short period of time, only for Christy to ask the base about her mother's recovery. According to Christie, her mother's injuries were so severe that she would not be able to wake up for a while. Other than this, the other party never mentioned to Christy how to deal with Zhou Xin, and even Dart, who was a little more friendly to Zhou Xin, did not take the initiative to contact the Voyager.

Zhou Xin was a little surprised by this. He estimated in his heart that they should have read the information he had given to the Atlanteans, but they didn't react to it, not even obvious disgust, and Zhou Xin couldn't help but have a big question mark in his heart.

Ten days had passed since the last handover, and in the next three days, Christy made another contact with the base, and this time it was Dart who responded on the other side. Zhou Xin thought that he should have responded to himself this time, but what he didn't expect was that in addition to telling Christy about Rhettina's current condition, he was concerned about her life on the ship, and he talked about Christy for half an hour, without mentioning Zhou Xin. Christy was very embarrassed and embarrassed by this, and she wanted to shift the topic to Zhou Xin several times, but before she could finish speaking, she was rudely interrupted by Dart, and then he continued to turn the topic to Christie.

After the call, Christy turned her head and looked at Zhou Xin a little uncomfortably, "This-I want to mention you to my grandfather, but-." ”

"Forget it." Zhou Xin pretended to be indifferent and comforted, "Maybe they have some concerns, or even if the attitude towards us is still so hostile, then at least they have to show it." But looking at your grandfather's behavior, it seems that he doesn't even want to mention us, as if we don't exist at all, this attitude is a bit intriguing. But at least there's good news, Dart mentioned that your mother seems to be on the verge of recovery. ”

Christy suddenly became happy, "Yes, my grandfather just told me that most of my mother's body has been repaired, and she may wake up in a day or two."

Suddenly, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "So that I can let go of one thing, if something happens to your mother, then I don't know how to face you." He said with some trepidation.

Before Zhou Xin's words fell, the communication module in Christie's hand rang......
