The spaceship on the screen had reached the size of a pigeon, and Zhou Xin was finally able to see the shape of the spaceship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he saw the appearance of those spaceships, Zhou Xin was a little surprised, because their appearance was quite different from the "normal" spaceships, and even the appearance of those spaceships was very different. The moment he saw those spaceships, a word popped up in Zhou Xin's confidence - building blocks.

As the term goes, the hull of each ship does not have a uniform shape, as if it were made of building blocks. The ship is clearly divided into several sections, each of which is of a different shape. For example, the largest spaceship in the middle of the screen, the first part of it is bullet-shaped, just look at this paragraph and you will think that this spaceship is quite normal, but the shape of this bullet only accounts for a quarter of the total length of the spaceship, and behind this shape is a rectangular cabin, the two hulls are very unnaturally connected together, and the gap caused by the different shapes in the middle is also filled with a black unknown material, and behind this rectangular cabin is a cylindrical hull. Compared with the previous bullet, the diameter of this cylinder is obviously much larger, which makes the spacecraft obviously "fat" in the mid-belly position, this cylinder hull is the longest part of this spaceship, accounting for one-third of the total length of the spacecraft, and behind this cylinder is connected is a section of the hull with an oval cross-section, this hull is very thin compared with the previous cylinder, the spacecraft suddenly lost weight here, and it looked very incongruous. Even the solar panel-like things on both sides of the ship are asymmetrical, and even the shape is irregular.

This ship is still the more "normal" looking ship of all the ships on the screen, compared to this ship, the other ships are about the same length as it, but the number of sections is more. One of the spaceships that Zhou Xin could count was assembled from more than thirteen hulls of different sizes and lengths, and there was even one spaceship that could not be counted at this distance. Looking at these spaceships, Zhou Xin always felt that they would fall apart like building blocks if they couldn't fly far, but they were flying in space very strongly, and the speed of their flight was not slow, and these spaceships also changed their course from time to time, not caring whether the hull could bear it or not. If the spaceship is just composed of a few different hulls, Zhou Xin may also think that these spaceships are just special models, but when he saw the shape of a few hulls, he immediately felt a little uneasy, although these hulls still maintain their general shapes, but the hulls are abnormally twisted. There was a section of the hull that Zhou Xin saw as if it had been twisted as if someone had twisted a towel, and the originally straight edges were now half a circle along the ship like ******, and the other part of the hull was even more exaggerated, and their outer decks were even covered with uneven cobweb-like creases, as if the originally flattened can had been re-unfolded.

At the beginning, Zhou Xin had been looking at these strange-shaped spaceships with strange eyes, and from time to time he was thinking about where they came from, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he linked these spaceships with a similar object he had seen before.

"You say, could these ships be from the same force as the strange satellite we discovered in the first place?" Zhou Xin subconsciously asked this question to the few people in the command cabin.

"From the looks of it, it seems likely." It was Renard, who happened to be on duty, who answered Zhou Xin's question, and showed a thoughtful expression as he spoke, "But I think it's still a bit unreliable just from the appearance, and it's best to be able to confirm this from other aspects." He added.

After listening to his words, Zhou Xin felt that it still made sense, so he thought about it, and then asked Atlas: "Atlas, can you determine the identity of these spaceships?" ”

"It seems a little hard." The little girl's brow furrowed, and there were no markings on the outside of the ships that would directly identify them. However, judging from the structure of the ships, most of the components used by these ships belong to the styles used by the forces on two different continents on the planet, and judging from the way they are mixed, there is a high probability that these ships belong to the third force we mentioned earlier.

"Is there no other way to judge?" Zhou Xin asked, he thought for a moment, and then added, "Do you have a way to listen to the communication between these spaceships?" Listen to what the people inside are saying. ”

"People have already tried." Atlas looked a little bad, "But these ships are almost in a state of radio silence, and they rarely communicate with each other, and even the occasional communication is very brief, as if they are afraid of being detected." And the communication protocol they use is also strange, which no one has seen before, and the information they communicate is encrypted. People are still cracking this strange communication protocol, and if the captain's brother wants to know what exactly is communicating between the ships in a short time, I'm afraid it's unlikely. ”

"As soon as possible." Zhou Xin didn't have a good solution to Atlas's problems, so he had to casually tell her, and then he focused on the screen and observed the movements of those strange spaceships.

During the time that Zhou Xin was talking to the others, the distance between the probe and the spacecraft had become closer, and the probe's lens was no longer large enough to fit an entire fleet, so Atlas controlled the camera to point at one of the ships.

The spaceship in the screen, its general shape is no different from what Zhou Xin saw from a distance before, but the details can be seen more clearly. According to the data observed by the probe, the length of these spaceships is generally around thirty meters, and the average diameter is about ten meters, which can be regarded as medium-sized spaceships in this civilization, but looking at their appearance, Zhou Xin can't associate them with medium-sized spaceships in his heart. After complaining a little in his heart, Zhou Xin shifted his attention to the actions of the spaceship.

When he looked at it from a distance before, Zhou Xin had always thought that the spaceships were constantly advancing, but after the probe got closer, Zhou Xin saw that they were not like this. The ships stopped and stopped along the way, stopping at each slightly larger piece of debris. Most of the time it was spent stopping to take a few glances before leaving, but occasionally the ship would release one or two devices from above, which looked like engineering robots, which, after being released, cautiously approached the large piece of debris closest to the ship at the time at an extremely slow pace. Zhou Xin didn't see what they were doing on the debris, he only saw the machines stay on the debris for a while, and then return to the spaceship with some of the debris on it.

After watching silently for a while, Zhou Xin asked in a strange tone, "What are they doing?" It doesn't look like it's a search for survivors. ”

"That's not easy, look at the action, they must be collecting supplies." Atlas replied casually.

Zhou Xin's attention had been focused on searching for survivors before, so he didn't expect this, but now under Atlas's reminder, he finally reacted, "Oh yes, maybe it's true." Then he said to himself with a thoughtful expression, "This is quite in line with the style of this force, even their ships are assembled, so it is normal to collect useful supplies from the wreckage." Then he remembered what Atlas had originally reported, "But in addition to collecting supplies, they are still searching for survivors." After saying this, he suddenly remembered a not-so-good possibility, "But they belong to the third force, what will they do with those who do not belong to their power?" Thinking of this, he hurriedly instructed Atlas, "Atlas, speed up the search, we must find more survivors in front of those unidentified ships, if these people are found first, we don't know what will happen." ”

"That's fine." Atlas replied, and then she asked a question, "What if the escape pods were found closer to those ships?" Do you need someone to drag them back before they do? But in this case, there is no guarantee that they will not find out. ”

Hearing Atlas's question, Zhou Xin seemed a little hesitant, he thought for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "That is their fate, Atlas, try to search for as many survivors as possible on the premise of ensuring that they are not discovered." He changed the order anyway.

"Got it."

After explaining these things, Zhou Xin finally relaxed. Then, a strong sense of drowsiness hit him, Zhou Xin yawned and glanced at the time, and found that it was actually four o'clock in the morning of the spaceship time. He hurried back to his room to catch up on a few hours of sleep, but before he could get out of the command cabin, the Voyager's voice rang out again.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the probe has found that the vehicle in orbit of the planet has moved."

"Looks like I don't have to sleep anymore." Zhou Xin sighed slightly in his heart, and then he withdrew his foot that was about to step out of the command module, and when he turned around, he asked, "Where is the aircraft moving this time?" ”

"It's a couple of flying machines in the Northern Hemisphere." Voyager reported while releasing images taken by the probe. Under the instructions of the Voyager, Zhou Xin saw that nearly ten aircraft had departed from their original orbits and were collectively flying in the direction of the probe.

"What are they going to do?" Zhou Xin looked at the probe and asked while making evasive actions, "Voyager, have you guessed the direction of these vehicles?" Where are they going? ”

"If their orbits remain unchanged, the expected direction of flight is in the direction of the wreckage of the fleet." The Voyager replied.

"What are they doing with the wreckage?" Zhou Xin looked puzzled, "Don't those spaceships belong to another force?" He thought for a moment, then said to himself, "Did they just go there to see what was going on?" Otherwise, it would be useless to use these flying machines in the past. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xin was still a little confused about the purpose of these flying machines going near the wreckage, but before he could figure it out, the voice of the Voyager sounded again.

"Brother Captain, the probe sees that there seems to be another spaceship departing from the space building."

Hearing Atlas's report, Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "It's all like this, haven't they seen it, and they still want to return to the planet?" ”

"It looks a little bit like that." Atlas added, "The ships flew in the same path as the previous fleet, but only a dozen ships were seen flying out of the buildings. ”

"Only a dozen?" Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then he remembered a question, "Atlas, have you seen where the spaceships that escaped under the attack of the aircraft have gone?" ”

"The ships that can get out of the ship are all flying in the direction of the tail of the entire fleet, in other words, they are all fleeing in the direction of space buildings." Atlas replied.

"That might be easier to understand." Zhou Xin said to himself, "The spaceships that just flew out of the space building may have come to pick up those spaceships that escaped, but why did they set off so late to meet those spaceships, are they afraid of the second attack of the aircraft?" He was still a little confused.

Sure enough, the ships that had departed from the space building met the fleeing spacecraft after more than half an hour, and all the spacecraft gathered together and stayed for less than five minutes before starting again. Most of the ships were heading back towards the space building, with only three ships breaking away from the large group, and they were heading towards the wreckage of the fleet.

Put this head down for a while, and return to the vicinity of the wreckage, just in the past half an hour, those flying machines have approached the wreckage of the fleet, and just when they are halfway through the flight, the strange-shaped spaceships have already reacted. They hurriedly took back the few small robots that had just been released, and at the same time changed their direction, and fled in the direction of the aircraft without leaving a moment, just when these spaceships had abnormal movements, they were immediately discovered by Atlas, and then she reminded Zhou Xin, looking at the screen to switch to these spaceships that tried to escape, Zhou Xin had an idea, "Atlas, can you control the probe to keep up with these spaceships?" I wonder where the old home of this force is......"
