"I think it's better to go to other star systems and look for opportunities than to stay here and wait for the time when it won." Spred said.

After Spred finished saying his thoughts, the crowd didn't respond immediately, and they all thought about whether to follow the idea next. It was at this moment that one of them suddenly whispered an idea that no one had ever considered before, in a tone of unconfidence.

"Anyway, why don't we try to get in touch with each other?" The unconfident voice said.

As soon as the words fell, the command cabin suddenly fell silent, and even the whispered discussions disappeared. Everyone looked at each other, all of them were shocked by this bold idea that suddenly appeared, and many people were even so surprised that they stopped thinking completely, and only the words just now kept echoing in their brains.

"It seems—it's not impossible——?" After a few minutes, Spred was the first to come to his senses, and he said with a hesitant tone, "While it's very likely that those ships are searching for us, the purpose of finding us isn't necessarily a bad thing. Are we – we can try to reach out to each other, and if we have the opportunity – maybe – we can also explain some of the possible misunderstandings to the other person? ”

"How is that possible?" As soon as Spred's words fell, Dart objected without thinking, "Have you forgotten how we escaped from Noble Planet?" Do you think that the controlled Norsan civilization is still like this to us? In addition, judging from the fact that they did not deal with the internal problems of the Noshan civilization after they appeared, but directly launched a search, can't we speculate about the current attitude of the other party? ”

"But it's all just speculation. Even if it's the most likely guess, that's a guess. "Maybe that civilization isn't as bad as it seems?" Maybe they don't want to attack us, but want to find us for other purposes? In order to test the attitude of the other party, I think it is possible to try to contact them. ”

"I'm against it." Dart raised his voice, "I don't want to expose where we are just to test the other person's attitude. ”

Dart's words made Spred subconsciously roll his eyes, "I'm not a fool, just let the probe be the first to make contact with the other party, and I don't need the Voyager to appear directly." Even if we fail, we will only lose a few detectors. ”

"But—" Dart continued to express his objections, but he couldn't find a better reason for this, but just because he couldn't think of it didn't mean that no one else could think of it either. Then, in response to this bold idea, the crowd was divided into two distinct factions and argued.

From the moment he heard this idea, Zhou Xin was the one who was inclined to reach out. After listening to Spryd's conversation with Dart, this tendency became even stronger. So, when neither side could convince anyone, and then focused their eyes on himself at the same time, Zhou Xin said tentatively: "Otherwise, then try it——? ”

Now that Zhou Xin had already stated his attitude, the two sides who were evenly matched in the argument immediately stopped arguing. Once the idea was settled, the group spent some time discussing some of the details, and finally decided to let the probe who remained on the planet Norshan carry out the contact mission. The reason for this decision was that they believed that the probe from the planet Norsan would be the least likely to reveal the location of the current Voyager. At the same time, it just so happens that the spaceships of those unknown civilizations are flying to the vicinity of the planet Nosan, and it is also the fastest option to let the probes on the planet Noshan make contact.

It took nearly sixteen hours for the probe from the planet Nosan to finally fly near the first spaceship of an unknown civilization. In anticipation, the probe sent its first contact message to the alien spacecraft. Soon, the other party responded to Zhou Xin's contact information - using the ship's artillery fire.

Everyone was a little disappointed by this result, but they were not surprised at all, and the only one who was depressed was Spred, who had been the first to promote the incident. Looking at the loss of signal due to the destruction of the detector, leaving only a patterned screen, he said to himself depressedly and confusedly: "It's strange, except for the contact request, we didn't send any other information, how did the other party guess our identity." ”

"Actually, it's not surprising." After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xin came up with an answer, "Now in this star system, except for the Noshan civilization and the fleet that appeared not long ago, I'm afraid that the only thing left is us." In this case, an unknown detector suddenly appeared in front of him, so is it necessary to think about who this detector belongs to? ”

"Well, you do have a point." Spred said helplessly, "The likelihood of someone else appearing in this star system is indeed very low. ”

While the conversation was going on, another probe approaching the other ship lost contact with the Voyager before it could even send a message to the other.

"Looks like this won't work." After Voyager reported that the third and fourth probes had lost contact at the same time, Zhou Xin said with a sigh. However, since he had guessed that this was likely to be the outcome at the beginning of the operation, his words did not reveal too much disappointment.

The only thing to be thankful for is that their previous arrangement worked. After the probe was destroyed, the spacecraft did not find the Voyager in hiding, but followed their original flight path and flew straight towards the space near the planet Norsan.

Looking at the footage of a probe hanging far behind a spacecraft on the screen that was not discovered, Spred subconsciously asked, "Since the other party refuses to communicate, shall we leave here next?" ”

"A decision has to be made as soon as possible." After seeing that Spred finished speaking, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time, Dart opened his mouth and urged, "Now it seems that the attitude of that unknown civilization towards us is obviously extremely unfriendly. In this case, if our whereabouts are indeed discovered, I fear that our situation will be extremely bad for the rest of us. ”

After listening to Dart's thoughts, Zhou Xin still seemed a little hesitant. After pondering for a while, he asked, "Atlas, with the current situation of Voyager, can we really reach another star system 100% smoothly...... ”
