Twenty minutes later, Atlas had finished preparing everything and finally began to open the escape pod. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the screen was switched to the shot of Atlas's robot, and this time it was Atlas himself who carried out the command of the escape pod, just in case.

Atlas manipulated the robot to the side of the escape pod, and at first she didn't do it directly, but first walked around the escape pod lying on the ground, which also made Zhou Xin clearly see the appearance of the escape pod.

As you have seen before, this escape pod is similar in shape to a capsule, its total length is probably no more than two meters, and its diameter is about seventy centimeters. The shell of the escape pod is plain silvery-white, and it appears to be coated with a layer of reflective paint, which reflects a bright light under the light of the room. Zhou Xin did not see any obvious seams on the surface of the escape pod, and even the number of connecting seams was not very large, according to the position of the seams, it could probably be divided into three parts: the hemispherical lid at both ends and the cylindrical body in the middle. Other than that, there is nothing more to describe the appearance of this escape pod, not even any observable patterns or signs, and like the previous fusiform escape pod, the overall appearance of this escape pod is very simple.

After walking around the pod, Atlas stopped, walked over to the pod, and began scanning its shell, and after scanning one end, she went to the other end to do the same. After about three minutes of inspection, she walked back to the same direction she had scanned, and as she walked back to that end, the two of Atlas's robotic arms began to switch to the shape of a tool, and it looked as if she was ready to get started.

"How are you going to open this escape pod?" Looking at the robot's movements, Zhou Xin asked Atlas curiously.

"The old way, drill holes." Atlas replied in a natural tone, and then she complained, "What the hell is this civilized person doing, the escape pod was designed to only open from the inside, and if you want to open it from the outside, you can only use electromagnetic waves to send an opening signal to the inside of the escape pod." What if the person inside is unconscious and the signal processing device is broken? I don't get an emergency switch or anything like that outside, is this a deliberate attempt to embarrass others? ”

Zhou Xin felt a little helpless about Atlas's answer, looking at the screen she manipulated the robot to approach the shell of the escape pod with a tool, Zhou Xin asked, "Atlas, are you sure?" ”

"Brother Captain, don't worry." Atlas's tone was very confident, "People have studied the escape pod for two days. And—" her tone became a little mysterious, "people have found that there is a big hole in the design of this escape pod, and if there is no problem with people's inference, then it is actually very easy to open this escape pod." As he spoke, the robot on the screen began to move.

Zhou Xin saw that the robot quickly cut a hole with a diameter of about five centimeters at the end of the escape pod, and then she poked the mechanical arm in. After a while, the robotic arm pulled out five or six cables from the newly opened hole, all of which were different in color, and even in thickness. Atlas looked at the threads for a moment, then pulled her arm into the hole and pulled it up, this time for a long time, and after a minute or so, she finally pulled out a black thread from the hole. Next, Zhou Xin was a little surprised by the robot's movements, after she pulled out the black wire, she cut it directly, and then the robot quickly cut off three of the cables in her hand. Then, instead of following the previous order, Atlas quickly picked up the broken threads in his hand. Zhou Xin was very puzzled by Atlas's action, and he asked, "What are you doing-" Before he finished speaking, he only heard a slight "click" sound from the screen, Atlas lifted the camera, and Zhou Xin saw that there was a board on the side shell of the escape pod slightly warped, and it seemed that this upturned board seemed to be the hatch.

Atlas explained to Zhou Xin while walking to the side of the escape pod: "People don't know what the reason is, yesterday when people were inspecting the broken escape pod, they saw that the cables in the damaged place were burned, and the broken ground cables were connected together in a mess, and they moved casually, and then the door of the escape pod opened, and after accidentally discovering this method, they tried it a few times, and then found that they could open the hatch every time, so I just took this escape pod to try it today, but I didn't expect it to be really successful." ”

"......" After listening to Atlas's explanation, Zhou Xin was speechless, and after a pause, he slowly spoke, "So you are using this escape pod for experiments?" "His tone is a little bit bad.

"Brother Captain, don't worry, people have calculated, the success rate of this method is very large, you see, isn't this a success." Atlas heard what Zhou Xin meant, and she hurriedly added, "Moreover, if this method is not successful, there is a second plan, so there will be no problem." ”

"What's the second plan?" Hearing Atlas's words, an idea faintly popped up in Zhou Xin's mind.

"Go straight inside, and open this escape pod from the inside." Atlas's tone became a matter of course.

Seeing that Atlas's words once again confirmed his thoughts, Zhou Xin felt a little crying and laughing, but seeing that the escape pod was indeed opened, he didn't say anything more, but let Atlas directly open the hatch.

Since he didn't know if there were any survivors inside, Zhou Xin looked a little nervous when he opened the hatch. Unlike before, this time Atlas opened the hatch very slowly, probably for fear of hurting the survivors who might exist inside, and it took him nearly a minute to open the door alone.

When the hatch was ajar, Zhou Xin saw that there seemed to be a figure lying inside, and when the hatch was completely opened, the person lying inside confirmed that there was nothing wrong with what Zhou Xin had seen before. However, to Zhou Xin's surprise, he found that there was not one person lying in the escape cabin, but two, and now the two people inside were snuggling tightly together, not moving.

Ignoring other details, seeing that the people inside were still lying motionless after the hatch was opened, Zhou Xin asked eagerly: "Atlas, quickly check to see if the two of them are still alive." ”

The robot stretched out its two mechanical arms and grabbed the arms of two people each, and after a while, Atlas's happy voice sounded, "Brother Captain, Brother Captain, they are still alive, but they are now in a coma for unknown reasons, and their vital signs are also a little weak, and now they urgently need treatment." When she said the back, her voice seemed a little urgent.

"Then what else are you talking about, then hurry up and send it to the medical cabin." Zhou Xin urged without thinking.

"I'm afraid it won't work." Atlas objected directly, "Not to mention that the two of them have not yet gone through the ship's inspection procedures, even the environment in the isolation chamber is specially made, if they are moved to a normal compartment with more thin oxygen, I don't know what will happen." ”

Under Atlas's reminder, Zhou Xin also thought about it, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Then let the medical robot take the instrument to the isolation cabin to check them." ”

"They have already been informed." Atlas replied, "Medical robots should be coming soon." ”

Not long after Atlas's words were finished, a medical robot appeared on the screen, and at the same time, Zhou Xin also contacted Dr. Ren and asked him to come to the command cabin to understand the situation.

However, before Wren arrived at the command module, the medical robot had already come to a preliminary conclusion, "Your Excellency Captain, judging from the preliminary examination results, it is very likely that these two aliens fell into a prolonged coma because of long-term malnutrition and two or three days without eating, but since their body structure is not similar to the samples already in the database, this machine cannot rule out other possible causes of coma." ”

"Malnutrition?" Zhou Xin was still digesting the content of the medical robot's report, when Ren opened the door of the command cabin and walked in. Zhou Xin hurriedly beckoned to him, "Ren, you came just in time, come over and help me see if the conclusion of the medical robot report is correct, why do I think it's weird." ”

"What conclusion?" Wren walked over curiously, and at this time, the detailed examination results of the medical robot appeared on the screen. He stared at the data displayed on the screen for a moment, then his brow furrowed.

"It does look like a symptom of malnutrition." Wren's first sentence affirms the conclusions reached by medical robots.

"Since the conclusion is not wrong, let's treat them quickly." Zhou Xin interrupted Wren's next words.

"That's fine, but—" Wren continued, puzzled, "how could there be no samples of their body structure in the database?" As he spoke, he motioned for the medical robot to inject the two unconscious people with nutritional injections.

"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Xin didn't react at first.

"Didn't we dissect the life of this civilization before?" As for the things related to his profession, Ren still remembered very well, and seeing Zhou Xin nodded, he continued, "It stands to reason that the samples of lifeforms on this planet should have been entered into the medical database, how can it be that the medical robot still can't identify it?" He then explained, "Generally, as long as the similarity of the body structure is more than 90%, it will be recognized by the medical robot as the same or similar lifeform, but now this result-"

After listening to Wren's explanation, Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "You mean that the two people we just discovered are different from the two corpses found in the fusiform device before?" But aren't they from the same planet? ”

"At least that's what we can conclude from the results of the medical robot." Wren's wording was a little cautious, "More detailed results may require further comprehensive physical examination to know, but unfortunately these two people can't be autopsied, otherwise the results will be easily available." At this, his tone seemed a little regretful. Then, he suddenly remembered something, "Aren't there a lot of wreckage out there?" Could it be that there is no corpse in it that can be studied? ”

"Not really." Atlas's tone was a little regretful, "People have thought of it a long time ago and let the probe search by the way in the process of searching for the escape pod, but what people found is basically incomplete corpse fragments, even if one or two complete corpses are found, they are seriously dehydrated because of exposure to the space environment, and there is no value for investigation and research at all." However, people are only searching for the outer area of the wreckage, and the situation in the core area will have to ask the little sister. ”

After Atlas finished speaking, the Voyager immediately continued: "The situation in the core area is similar to what the AI describes, most of them are dry corpse fragments, and the occasional intact alien corpse is also severely dehydrated, the probe once tried to examine a corpse, but as soon as it came into contact with the corpse, the corpse completely turned into powder. ”

After hearing these words, Wren's face couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, and he held his chin with his hand, thinking of other methods.

Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "I don't know if we can analyze their DNA, this should be more information than directly dissecting." ”

"That's a good idea." Atlas immediately continued, "Brother Captain, give people a little time, and they will analyze their DNA, maybe they will come to some unexpected conclusions." ”

"I'll leave it to you."

At this time, the medical robot also completed the injection of the nutrient solution, Wren glanced at the latest examination results of the robot, and then said, "There should be no problem now, as long as these two aliens are allowed to rest properly for a while, they should be naturally awake." His tone was relaxed.

Listening to Wren's words, Zhou Xin also showed a relieved expression, and then he explained: "It's not good to always let them lie in the escape pod, Voyager, transform the isolation pod into a ward, and at the same time prepare a set of daily necessities for them, and everything will be arranged according to the people on the ship." ”

"Understood."

After explaining everything, Zhou Xin finally had time to take a closer look at the two people lying in the escape pod......
