Chapter 40 Contact
"But throughout the process, whenever I looked up, I never saw any sign of the attack. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info," Fergtan said with a puzzled tone.
"Did anyone else but you get the same instructions as you?" Zhou Xin asked.
"I don't know if everyone is like this, but I asked a few people on the way here, and they got the same hint from the chip last night."
Seeing that Fergtan was still puzzled, Ralph couldn't help but speak, "How could the attack have come from the top of your head, but—" She reacted halfway through speaking, and she quickly shut her mouth.
"And what?" Hearing Ralph's words, Fergtan reacted quickly at this time, and he hurriedly asked.
"Nothing." Zhou Xin hurriedly explained for Ralph, "What she means is, could it be that the chip has reported an incorrect location?" At the same time, he glared at Ralph. Ralph shrunk his neck embarrassedly, and then quickly echoed: "That's right, that's what I meant, could it be that the chip is wrong?" ”
"How is that possible?" Fergtan immediately retorted, "Chips have been around for so long, and I've never heard of a problem with it." Wait a minute? Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, what did you think of?" Zhou Xin asked.
"Just a few days ago." Fergtan gave a look of reminiscence, "The chip once sounded the same alarm, and it was also alerting the direction of the attack from above our heads. But the alarm lasted for a short time, only a few minutes. So we didn't care, could it really be a chip-"
"When was the last alert?" Before Fergtan could finish speaking, Zhou Xin asked anxiously. Because he was thinking about his previous words in his heart, Fergtan didn't notice the abnormality in Zhou Xin's tone, but said a time in passing.
Zhou Xin thought about it for a moment, and then realized that the time Fergtan said happened to be the time when the probe was destroyed during their previous investigation of the armed satellite. At this time, he could be sure that the armed satellites in space did have some connection with the Noshan civilization, otherwise how could their actions in space cause anomalies on the ground twice in a row. However, Zhou Xin is still not sure what the specific connection is.
Meanwhile, Fergtan thought for a few minutes before he spoke, "Maybe your guess is probably true." Sorry, please give me some time, I need to report this to the above. After being silent for a while, he said to Zhou Xin, "The above attaches great importance to your speculation and wants to have a good chat with you." I don't know if you'd be interested in meeting them. ”
"That's fine." Fergtan's request hit Zhou Xin's heart, "I also want to ask them for details." ”
"In that case, then I'll help you arrange it." After saying this, Fergtan left the room.
After Fergtan left, the room became lively again. Ralph preemptively said: "It seems that those armed satellites in the sky are really related to them. ”
"But I always thought it was a little weird." Dart thought as he continued, "Judging from Fergtan's performance just now, I think he really didn't know about the existence of armed satellites in space, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it a word just now." ”
"Isn't it possible that he is hiding something from us?" Ralph asked.
"Impossible." Zhou Xin shook his head, "If Fergtan didn't want us to know about the armed satellites in space, then he wouldn't have said something that sounded very strange like 'the attack came from above the head.'" Either he will say a more definite direction of attack, or even simply say that he doesn't know, which is much more reliable than this, which shows that what he just said is the truth, and this is the information that the chip told him. ”
After a pause, Zhou Xin continued to add, "Also, do you remember? When I asked him who exactly had issued the alert, he replied in a very hesitant tone and gave an ambiguous answer. It stands to reason that with such a serious alarm, even if he doesn't know who originally issued it, he should know who notified him, but obviously he doesn't know. Coupled with the fact that he mentioned earlier was an alarm from the chip in his head that sent him directly, I was a little suspicious-"
"Suspect that the armed satellites did not notify anyone on the ground at all?" Dart replied with a little surprise, "And a notification sent directly to the chip in their head?" So he didn't know where the alarm came from? ”
"This possibility is very high, but it cannot be ruled out that it is a matter of Fogtan's authority, and it needs to be further confirmed." Zhou Xin replied, "That's why I want to meet the leaders of the Norshan civilization, and if even they don't know the source of the alarm, then we can be sure of that." ”
"Hmm." Dart agreed, "Then I'll wait until I meet them." I have another question here, why does the chip indicate that the Fergtan attack is coming from the top of the head, rather than from a more normal place? ”
"That's one of the reasons why I'm sure the armed satellites might be in direct contact with the chip." Zhou Xin then replied, "And according to this, I can still be sure of one thing - those armed satellites in space are aware of the lack of cosmology of the Norshan civilization. As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces suddenly showed a look of surprise.
"How can this be-" Seeing that Ralph immediately wanted to refute himself, Zhou Xin interrupted: "Don't be in a hurry to refute my words, let me finish first." Then he analyzed, "First of all, if the armed satellite did not communicate directly with the chip, but first sent the alarm to a few of the Norsans, and then they issued the alarm this time. Then I feel that if I were the one who posted the news, I would rather hide or fabricate a source of attack than tell the truth, whether I knew the universe existed or not. After a pause, Zhou Xin added, "But logically speaking, if such a Norshan really exists. Now that you can receive notifications from armed satellites, the probability of not knowing the universe is low. Of course, that's not the crux of the matter. ”
"So, the likelihood that the alarm, which I had guessed at the beginning, was to be notified directly by armed satellites, was further reduced. Now, let's talk about another speculation......"
