Chapter 11: Chang'e

A week later, Voyager still hadn't matched the planet's topography, and of course, the location described in the coordinates hadn't been found. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, Zhou Xin felt a little depressed.

"I'm sorry, Captain." Voyager said, "The terrain of this planet is so badly damaged, although we found a detailed topographic map of the planet in that underground research, it does not match the actual terrain at all, and the only point that can be determined is the location of the underground research institute." In order to successfully match the terrain, we need to determine the location of at least one point, but we have never been able to find another point on this planet that matches the map. ”

"Let me show me the map." Zhou Xin said.

The communicator in front of Zhou Xin lit up, and then a map from a satellite perspective appeared in front of him. This map is somewhat similar to the world map, but the terrain is quite different. Zhou Xin looked at the map carefully and found that in addition to the common terrain such as mountains, rivers, and oceans, the map was clearly divided into three parts: upper, middle and lower. In addition to the terrain, this map also records the location of the cities of this civilization, and the number of cities is not large, however, the distribution of cities is a bit strange, and they are basically hit on the map in the middle part.

"This is what the planet used to be?" Zhou Xin asked suspiciously, "What's going on with these obvious three parts?" Moreover, how is it that their cities are all concentrated near the equator? ”

"Here's another piece of information." Voyager replied, "This information shows that the red dwarf star is only one-third the size of the Sun, and the dwarf planet is located about 0.7 AU away from the star. According to simulation calculations, the dwarf planet in this position can barely get enough energy to sustain life. Moreover, the planet's yellow-red angle is only 10 degrees, resulting in a small tropical range of the planet. As a result, the strange climatic conditions of the planet were formed, with a very large polar range and an extremely narrow tropical range, resulting in a pronounced tripartite distribution on the map. At the same time, the data shows that the environment of the poles of this planet is even harsher than that of the north and south poles of the earth, and it is completely unsuitable for the survival of advanced life, so their cities are concentrated near the equator. ”

"The environment on this planet is so harsh?" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "The scope of their survival is too small." How did they manage to develop such an advanced life under such a terrible situation? ”

"Due to environmental constraints, the development of this civilization is very slow. According to the available information, the history of this civilization is at least 30 million years old. The Voyager replied.

"30 million years!" Zhou Xin was surprised, "Even if the African apes are counted, the development of human beings will only be 8 million years." ”

"Yes, 30 million years ago, there were ape-like creatures with primary intelligence on this planet, and then ......"

"Stop, stop, I don't want to hear such a long story." Zhou Xin stopped, "If you continue to talk, you just need to listen to the story today." Back to the original question, there are so many obvious feature points on this map, but none of them can be matched? ”

"Yes, the feature points on the map are obvious, but on the real planet, the existence of these points is completely impossible to find on this ship."

Zhou Xin stared at the map carefully, looked at the cities and said to himself: "The feature points on the terrain have completely disappeared, so how to find them." And so on, feature points on the terrain. Zhou Xin raised his head, "Since the feature points on the terrain are not good, have you tried the feature points of the terrain?" I remember that the rotation of the planet does not still exist, and I have tried it with the north and south poles. ”

"No, the direction of rotation of this dwarf planet has completely changed after the impact, and the north and south poles are now completely different from the previous positions."

"What about the north and south poles?"

"I also tried, but the magnetic poles were also shifted, and after matching, it was found that the location of the underground research institute was seriously off. According to calculations, the error is about 10%, and it cannot be used as a feature point at all. ”

"That's right." Zhou Xin was a little distressed, "Then we can only find one more underground facility to determine the location of the coordinates?" ”

"Or you can find an exact location sign, a place name sign, a street sign, and so on, and this map records these detailed location information."

"Well, that's the only way to go, let's find this coordinate location as soon as possible." Zhou Xin said helplessly.

"One more thing." Voyager added, "The special model of the simulated robot that you introduced to you a few days ago has been installed, do you need to meet it?" ”

"Oh?" Zhou Xin was a little excited, "Call me to take a look." ”

After a while, the door to the command room opened, and in it came a beautiful womanβ€”a woman with a classical oriental beauty. She has long black and silky shawl hair, a pair of big watery eyes on her standard melon seed face, a small nose embellished on the melon seed face makes people feel so suitable, and a small cherry mouth under the nose, with two small dimples at the corners of her mouth when she laughs. The cheongsam she wore flattered the perfect curves of her body, with full breasts, slender waist, and round buttocks. And the short-sleeved cheongsam revealed a small arm that looks like a green lotus, and everything looks so coordinated.

However, if you look closely, you can still see a sense of disobedience, although her two eyes are large, but when you look closely, you lose a trace of agility. The expression on his face was kind, but it was a little stiff. The curves of her whole body are beautiful, but after Zhou Xin has observed them for so long, she still remains motionless, as if all foreign objects have nothing to do with her.

"This ......" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "...... you are"

"The bionic robot special type T-001 reports to you." At this time, the beautiful woman spoke.

"It's really a bionic robot, I thought someone else woke up." Zhou Xin sighed, "But what's going on with this appearance, the robots I've seen before don't look like this, Voyager." ”

"Isn't that your favorite type, Captain?" The Voyager replied, "Typical classical oriental beauty, this ship deliberately searched the database, and gathered all the beauty models in the database to create this standard oriental beauty appearance, why don't you like it, captain?" ”

"Well, it looks very pleasing to the eye." Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, "Do you like it...... Why do you always feel a little weird? ”

"Shapes are secondary, and this machine was built to help you, Captain." T-001 said, "If you don't like it, Captain, this machine can be changed." ”

"Well, don't do it, let's keep it as it is." Zhou Xin stopped, "It still looks quite pleasing to the eye now, and I'll feel strange again if I change it to something else." ”

"Understood, T-001 is on standby, may I ask the captain what your orders are." The robot stood straight in the doorway and asked seriously.

"T-001." Zhou Xin touched his nose, "It's a little strange to look at this face just by calling a code name." I can't afford a name. ”

"Your will." T-001 replied with a blank face.

Looking at the T-001 in front of him, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought, and after a while, Zhou Xin came back to his senses: "Since she is a typical oriental beauty, let's give it a typical oriental name." Hmm~ Chang'e? By the way, otherwise it's called Chang'e. ”

"Understood, the machine will be renamed Chang'e in the future." T-001 replied. "Your Excellency, Captain, Chang'e is on standby."

Zhou Xin looked around and found that there was nothing worth noting, then he scratched his head and said a little embarrassed, "This...... Can you make me a cup of tea? ”

Chang'e turned her head and walked out, and after a while, she came in with a cup of hot tea, put the tea on the command platform, and Chang'e bowed slightly, "Captain, this is the tea you want." ”

Picking up the teacup, Zhou Xin took a sip and breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's really a good taste, Chang'e didn't expect you to have the potential to be a maid." Zhou Xin said jokingly.

"Although this machine is designed to serve you, Captain, this machine is not a maid robot." Chang'e retorted solemnly.

"Alright, alright, just kidding."

"I don't know what a joke is."

"It's really the same personality as the host." Zhou Xin's face was full of black lines.

"Here's a report from an energy collection point." At this time, the Voyager suddenly reported.

"Oh?" Zhou Xin became serious, "Say it." ”

"After this period of resource collection, the work is close to completion, and now the ship's energy reserves have reached 85%, and it is expected that in another half a month, the ship will complete the energy supply work. In addition, the investigation of the site of the discovery of the fragment is ongoing, and a section of the road about a kilometer long has been excavated. ”

"Anything new?" Zhou Xin hurriedly asked, "For example, road signs or something?" ”

"There are basically only metal fragments on the excavated sections, and there are very few complete objects." The Voyager replied, "There is no strong bunker in a place like the highway, and the force area of the road sign is very large, so it is generally impossible to keep it." ”

"What a nuisance." Zhou Xin was a little distressed, "I don't even have a complete terrain marker. Really, is it so hard to find a complete marker? Zhou Xin was a little irritable.

"Please don't worry, Your Excellency, according to our ship's estimates, if we dig along this road, even if we don't find signs or other signs, we will always come across cities and other places."

"That's right, otherwise what are you going to do in this place?" Zhou Xin was a little relieved, "Continue to investigate and find out where this road leads." ”

"Got it......"

A few days later, Zhou Xin was playing billiards with Chang'e in the entertainment cabin, since the addition of this simulation robot, Zhou Xin's daily life has been a lot more fun, after all, Zhou Xin is always interested in these strangely shaped robots. Although it is still a robot, it is equipped with the core of a battleship after all, and its intelligence is much higher than that of other robots, and its communication is smoother than that of other robots.

"Captain, you've lost again." After Chang'e cleared the table again, Chang'e said, "I really don't know what the use of this game is, the paths of all the balls are calculated locally, if there are 100 balls, it may be a little difficult." Captain, you've lost 15 rounds, do you want to keep playing? ”

"I can't play with 100 balls." Zhou Xin scratched his head with some distress, "Don't put your powerful computing power on this kind of game." This makes me how to play, although I am not afraid of strong opponents, but how to play opponents who can't even win in theory. ”

"More than 20 balls do not require the use of strong computing power at all, ordinary calculations are enough to deal with it." Chang'e replied solemnly, "Since the captain said so, then I'll let you do it next, just hit a few crooked balls." ”

"So don't say anything like that." Zhou Xin's face was black, "Just secretly let a few balls, I always feel a little weird when I say it, I know how to play the game if I win or lose." ”

"Anything must be reported to the captain." Chang'e said.

"So it's not nice at all."

"Captain, we found a relatively complete sign on the road where the debris was found."

"What does a sign have to do with cuteness?" Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, "What?" Signs? Zhou Xin became excited, he threw the club on the table, "Chang'e, please clean up, I'll go to the command room." Then he ran out of the hatch in impatience.

As soon as he walked into the door of the command room, Zhou Xin couldn't wait to ask, "Found the complete sign?" Is there any information on place names? Is the terrain match complete? ”

"There's good news and bad news, and the good news is that there is indeed a place name written on the signage." The Voyager replied.

"Very good, now you can do terrain matching, have you found that location?" Zhou Xin interrupted.

"There is also bad news, the terrain names obtained are incomplete, after matching, it was found that there are more than a dozen place names with these words, excluding several obviously impossible locations, and finally coming up with six places that are suspected of being pointed to by coordinates."

At this time, the screen showed the current topographic map of the dwarf planet, and six points were clearly marked in red on the topographic map, and Zhou Xin saw that these six points were distributed in a belt-like range, and they were far away from each other.

"Six points, at least it's progress, it's better than not knowing a single point before." After reading this picture, Zhou Xin said, "In this way, send a probe to these six points to investigate, if you can directly find out which of these six points is, it would be the best." At the same time, don't give up searching on the side of the road, try to find a second sign to further determine the location. ”

"Understand ......"
