"Otherwise, let me try. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Atlas began.

Hearing her words, Spred was a little skeptical, "You? Can you? ”

"Let people try it, we also have a lot of integrated containers and other things, this kind of thing is difficult to manufacture, once it is damaged, it is basically impossible to repair, but then the grandfathers invented a method, for some small damage, this method is still very effective, this may be able to solve the current problem." Atlas explained in detail.

Spred thought for a moment, "It's okay for you to try, but the fix you said isn't your secret, I'm going to watch while it's being repaired." ”

"No problem."

Seeing this, Spred was a little impatient, and he urged Atlas again and again, but in the end he was persuaded by Zhou Xin on the grounds that it was too late. Eventually, they decided to try to repair the hole in the outer layer of the warp engine the next day, and then repair the core once it was feasible.

The next day, Atlas used the Atlantean method to successfully repair the damage to the outer layer of the warp engine, which Spred was somewhat surprised and somewhat surprised. As for the next repair of the core, Atlas also seemed a little cautious, and after considering various unexpected situations, on the third day, Atlas finally began to repair the core.

As she began to fix the core, everyone who knew about the warp engine was nervous. Although it was only a few micron holes, Atlas took longer to repair than yesterday, but fortunately everything went well, and after several hours of repairs, Atlas finally succeeded in repairing the tiny hole in the heart of the warp engine, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief after she happily announced the news in the command module. After letting go of a big stone in their hearts, everyone turned their attention to the galaxy they were about to go to, but at this time, there was nothing to do in advance, so they could only wait for the moment when they reached the target galaxy.

More than two days later, the Voyager's report rang out again in the command module.

"Your Excellency, the outer probe of the spacecraft has detected a small amount of plasma in space, according to the ship's estimate, this should be a trace of stellar wind in the target galaxy, and we have touched the outer edge of the target galaxy."

"Slow down and move on." According to the previous practice, Zhou Xin commanded.

"Understood."

It didn't take long for Voyager to complete the process of deceleration, and the ship's speed managed to reduce to half the speed of light, and then continued to approach the interior of the target system. At this time, the screen was already showing the scene in front of the spacecraft, and a star that was brighter than the surrounding stars appeared in the center of the screen.

Although it was already night on the spacecraft when the Voyager reported, everyone was excited when they heard the news, and no one wanted to leave the command module to rest, but because the Voyager was still a little far away from the target star at this time, everyone didn't have anything to do now, they could only sit quietly in their seats and stare at the stars on the screen. But even then, none of them showed an impatient expression.

After a while, the screen began to show some slight changes, and some small black shadows began to swipe in front of the camera.

"There are quite a few comets on the periphery of this planet." The Voyager reported the true identity of these dark shadows.

There wasn't much interest in the comets, but Atlas seemed to be more active.

"Captain, look, this comet doesn't look like a beetle! This looks like a turtle! And this ......" Atlas was constantly observing the comets outside using the probes outside the spaceship, and was still screaming from time to time, bringing a lot of vitality to the otherwise silent command module.

Although Zhou Xin did not respond to Atlas's words, he also kept observing the black shadows flashing outside, although due to the speed, Zhou Xin could not recognize the specific shape of the black shadows like Atlas, but he still watched with interest the black shadows on the screen.

After more than half an hour, the originally excited crowd also felt a little bored after staring at the screen with constant black shadows for a long time, and from time to time someone began to yawn, and according to the plan, it would take at least more than a day for Voyager to touch the outermost planet of the galaxy. So, everyone began to leave the command cabin one after another and went to rest.

Seven or eight hours later, the people who went to rest began to return to the command cabin one after another, at this time, the picture presented on the big screen still did not change much, but Zhou Xin noticed that the frequency of black shadows that originally appeared on the screen began to increase, and basically more than a dozen black shadows appeared on the big screen every minute. Everyone was already surprised by this, only Atlas was still as excited as last night.

"It's strange, how can there be so many such small celestial bodies on the periphery of this galaxy, we haven't seen any galaxy we've been to before." Looking at the black shadows that kept flying on the screen, Zhou Xin was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing." Atlas continued to look for strange shadows outside with interest, and replied disapprovingly, "What's so strange about the fact that there are so many smaller bodies at the edge of the solar system than here?" ”

"That's right, but it's the first time I've seen this in another galaxy." Zhou Xin said, and then he instructed the Voyager, "Lower the flight speed a little more, there are more small celestial bodies here than expected, let's not have any problems at the last moment." ”

Listening to Zhou Xin's words, the Voyager further slowed down the speed of the spaceship, which was now only about one-tenth of the speed of light.

After the speed of the spacecraft decreased, the frequency of black shadows around the Voyager decreased, but correspondingly, the time for the spacecraft to reach the outermost planet was also extended, but apparently Zhou Xin didn't care about this.

In this case, Voyager has been flying inward at the edge of the galaxy for most of the day, and is now approaching the evening of time on the spacecraft. During this daytime, Atlas still watched the space outside the Voyager with great interest, while the others just silently looked at the screen, and then occasionally glanced at the panel in front of him to see if the data was normal, all in a relatively quiet environment.

Suddenly, Atlas's surprised voice rang out in the command cabin again, "Brother Captain, look, what is that?!" ”

Zhou Xin was already surprised by Atlas's surprise in the past two days, and he slowly turned his head from the command platform to the big screen, "What strange celestial objects have you found again?" ”

"No, no, no, brother, Captain, this shape is not strange." Atlas continued to maintain a tone of surprise, "Captain, look there, that shadow doesn't look like a standard tetrahedron?" ”

After listening to Atlas's words, Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "What? Tetrahedron? Where is it? But after he finished saying this, he added, "Are you mistaken, how can there be a standard shape here?" ”

"It's too fast, and people aren't sure about it, but it does look like it." Atlas said, "Oh, it's flying too fast, that thing is flying behind us, Captain, you can stop the ship." ”

Although Zhou Xin was still skeptical in his heart, he still listened to Atlas and asked the Voyager to stop the ship.

"Where? Where's that thing you're talking about? "It's Spred who asks the question at this time.

"Wait a minute, let me get my way." Atlas replied, and after a few seconds, he spoke, "This is it, little sister, go in this direction." ”

"Do as Atlas says." Without waiting for the Voyager to report, Zhou Xin commanded directly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Voyager began to turn, flying back along its previous route......

This time the ship flew very slowly, although it had only taken less than a minute from the time Atlas found the strange object to the time Voyager turned around, but when the ship turned around, it took a full ten minutes to fly to the location that Atlas had said.

Under the faint stellar light, everyone in the command module saw a faint bright spot on the pitch-black screen, and after a while, this bright spot turned into a black shadow, but this black shadow was not very large, and it was not easy to see clearly.

"Stop." With a cry from Atlas, the Voyager stopped, and at this time, the black shadow on the screen was still not very large, but Zhou Xin also saw a trace of strangeness from the small black shadow on the screen at this time.

"How does the shape of this dark shadow look so regular?" Zhou Xin's tone was full of doubt.

"yes, yes, it looks like a tetrahedron." Atlas said.

"I can't see this yet, but it looks like a triangle, and there seems to be something attached to it." Zhou Xin said uncertainly, "Voyager, take a closer look." ”

"Can't get any closer." Atlas said, "That shadow is only a few hundred meters away from the ship. ”

"What?" Looking at the black shadow on the screen, which was still not very big, Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "Are we already so close?" Is this thing that small? ”

"Yes, we are now only eight hundred meters away from that unidentified object." Voyager confirmed.

Suddenly, Zhou Xin was aroused by this object, "It's so close and so small, and the shape seems to be very regular?" What is it? He thought for a moment, then instructed the Voyager, "Send a probe to the Shadow to see what it is." ”

"Understood."

In less than a minute, the probe was launched, and the screen began to switch to the probe's footage. At first, the black shadow on the screen was the same size as seen from the outside of the Voyager, but after a while, the black shadow began to grow larger as the probe approached. And Zhou Xin and the others slowly saw what that black shadow was. When the true face of this dark shadow appeared on the screen, everyone in the command module was stunned by what they saw on the screen.

As Atlas said at the beginning, the black shadow was indeed a regular tetrahedron, its four sides were very smooth, and it also had a metallic luster, and there were two solar panel-like things connected to the left and right sides of the tetrahedron, and everyone recognized it at a glance when they saw it, it was definitely a man-made object.

"Sputnik?!" Zhou Xin cried out in surprise.

"It was preliminarily determined that the object was man-made, and the detector also detected a weak electromagnetic wave signal around the man-made object, and the object is still working normally."

This conclusion made everyone even more surprised, and Zhou Xin opened his mouth and asked, "Can you tell in what direction it is transmitting a signal?" ”

"The exact location is unknown, but the direction is roughly in the direction of the inner star system." Voyager replied, and then added, "The object is still moving at a slower pace away from the star system. ”

"How long has this man-made object been flying?" Spred asked from the side.

"From the degree of damage to the outer shell, it is estimated that the object has been flying in space for at least twenty years."

At this time, Zhou Xin and Spred glanced at each other, and Zhou Xin said: "It seems that there is nothing wrong, this thing should be launched from the galaxy." ”

Spred nodded in agreement with Zhou Xin's opinion, and then he asked, "Do you want to fish this thing back and study it?" See what exactly the civilization within this galaxy looks like? ”

Hearing Spred's suggestion, Zhou Xin hesitated, "Will this be discovered by the civilization in the galaxy?" ”

"Brother Captain, don't worry, the technological level of this man-made object is not very high, and people can simulate the signals it emits." Atlas said.

Zhou Xin lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then made a decision, "Okay, Voyager, let the probe bring this thing back to study it, and we can also understand what the civilization in this star system is like." Then he added, "Don't damage this thing, we'll send it back when we're done." ”

"Don't worry, it's a big deal to make a new one for them when it's broken." Atlas responded.

"Understood."

Ten minutes later, the probe had already brought the man-made object back to the Voyager, and then, without stopping, the engineering robot directly began to analyze the man-made object......
