Chapter 103: An Unexpected Discovery During Maintenance

"As soon as possible." Zhou Xin said helplessly. After listening to Atlas's report, Zhou Xin sighed slightly. He knew that in this situation, everyone had done their best. Even in order to complete the restoration work of the Voyager as soon as possible, many crew members took the initiative to take on some heavy work due to the lack of manpower due to the insufficient number of construction robots. But even so, after all, the work of repairing the shell is not like other work, there is a possibility of tricks, and it can only be done honestly little by little as it is now.

Next, Zhou Xin thought quietly for a while, and then ordered, "In addition, first stop the production of combat robots, make every effort to replenish the number of engineering robots, and liberate the crew from the heavy repair work as soon as possible." ”

"Understood." The Voyager replied.

After the order, Zhou Xin's eyes turned to the little girl on the screen, and at the same time he asked, "Is there anything you need to report to me?" He knew very well that what Atlas had added earlier was certainly not the purpose of her sudden appearance.

"Hmm." The little girl nodded, then replied, "It's time for the daily report." ”

"So fast?" Zhou Xin subconsciously glanced at the time, and then asked, "How is it?" Has anything changed in the Noshan civilization? In order to prevent any accidents, Zhou Xin asked Atlas to keep an eye on the situation inside the Norshan civilization and report to him once a day.

"It's still the same as yesterday, nothing has changed." The little girl on the screen shook her head.

"Still nothing has changed?" Hearing this answer, Zhou Xin didn't feel much easier, but said to himself in a strange tone, "It's been a month, why haven't they returned to normal yet?" ”

That's right, in the course of a month, the Norsan civilization did not revert to its original state due to the disappearance of the Voyager, but still maintained its initial high alert. At the same time, the consciousness of the Norzans is also still under control. With the exception of the most basic physiological activities and vigilance work, the activities of society as a whole have come to a complete standstill.

"It doesn't make sense." Spred said suspiciously, "We're all gone, what are the Norzans still wary of?" After a few seconds, he changed his tune and said, "No, what is the consciousness that controls the Noshans?" ”

"Does that consciousness know we're not gone yet?" Dart guessed, but soon shook his head, "But that doesn't make sense, if that consciousness can spot our ship, then it should be understood that there is no need for such a level of vigilance, just wait for us to appear near their planet before acting." If it's just the discovery of the probe we left on the planet, then why not control the Norzans to do it to the probe? ”

"Could it be that we are thinking too much, and the Norshan people may not be on guard now." Atlas said casually.

"How is that possible?" Dart shook his head, "This is because of us, and who would believe it if the Norzans' current actions were not directed against us." And, besides us, are there any other targets in this star system that need to be so vigilant? ”

"In any case, although the behavior of the Noshan civilization will not affect us for the time being, we still need to maintain the most basic vigilance." Zhou Xin said, "Since the Norzans are still under control, it means that the consciousness that controls them should have new actions in the future, and we must not use common sense to deal with that consciousness. Zhou Xin's words were agreed by everyone in the command cabin.

Just as Zhou Xin and the others were still discussing the anomalies of the Noshan civilization, the voice of the Voyager suddenly sounded in the command cabin, "Your Excellency Captain, in the process of collecting resources, the robot found a suspected man-made object on the surface of the planet. ”

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, and many of them had a look of surprise on their faces. Soon, their eyes were focused on the big screen, where the Voyager had already released the image that the robot had captured on the ground.

After careful observation for a while, Zhou Xin realized that on the horizon in the extreme distance in the picture, a needle-like object was standing quietly there. Of course, the distance is so far away that all you can see is an outline.

Under Zhou Xin's reminder, the others also quickly discovered the needle-shaped object. Staring at the object carefully, Spred frowned and said, "This shape seems to look a bit like an antenna on a construction ship, is it a mistake in the robot's judgment?" ”

"The location where the engineering ship is berthed is not in this direction." As soon as Spred's words fell, the Voyager denied his claim, "In addition, the possibility that the object belongs to this ship has been ruled out." ”

"In that case, let's let the robot go and investigate." Zhou Xin ordered.

"Let the family come!" When it comes to investigating unknown objects, Atlas's emotions suddenly get excited. As she spoke, she took control of the robot that observed the pinpoint-like object, and controlled it to move towards the object in the distance.

As the robot approached, the needle-like object in the picture also enlarged little by little. It didn't take long for the original needle tip to take the shape of a conical minaret.

"How could such a tower exist in such a place?" Looking at the picture on the screen, Spred asked. Although it is still far away, it is easy to tell from the appearance that the cone-shaped minaret in the shot is clearly not a natural creation. Although he was also a little surprised, Zhou Xin still controlled his emotions well. At the same time, his brain was already racing.

After a few minutes, the entire spire's appearance is clearly visible. Zhou Xin saw that it was a slender hollowed-out conical minaret. There is nothing to be seen on the tower other than the massive, metal-like structure that has been assembled together. Looking up, the spire of the tower is an exaggerated needle-like object that is one-fifth the height of the tower.

Of course, such a simple construction is not the most surprising thing about that tower. Soon, Zhou Xin discovered that the spire in front of him was unexpectedly tall. As the robot continues to shorten the distance between it and the spire, its height soon exceeds the upper limit that the lens can hold. It didn't take long for even the width to catch up with the width of the lens. When the minaret in the picture was only a few pieces of the structure that were splied together, the robot finally moved to the foot of the minaret......
