"Your foresight saved everyone at this base. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Actually, I'm not that great." Spred smiled wryly, "I just did what I was supposed to do, and they stayed only because they believed in the calculated results." ”

"Not only that, but you led them to life." Zhou Xin said, "Before we met you, we also found another shelter. ”

"What? You've found another shelter?! Spred raised his voice, "How's the people inside?" How many people survived? Where are they now? ”

Zhou Xin was silent.

"Tell me about the situation in the Vault." Ralph also said excitedly beside him.

Looking at the excited eyes of the two people, Zhou Xin sighed slightly, "Chang'e, tell them about the situation of the underground shelter." ”

While Chang'e was briefing Spred and Ralph about the Vault, Zhou Xin was also communicating with the Voyager.

"What do you think of the state of this civilization? I think they're kind. ”

"There are not enough individuals to communicate and cannot be analyzed."

"They are now on the verge of perdition, and we are here to help them, and they will not be avenged." Zhou Xin was a little skeptical.

"For a new civilization, please be cautious, too subjective judgment will affect your final decision." The Voyager said solemnly.

"Okay, okay, you're right." Zhou Xin spread his hands, "Now that we have understood the basic situation, what should we do with the people in this base next?" It's impossible to leave it alone, but I'd rather take it away, after all, we're short of people right now. ”

"This ship does not recommend this, at least not for now, we still don't know much about this civilization, and if we take them away, there will be unpredictable risks. The ship suggests that it is enough for you to leave some supplies, and if they ask to leave, please consider it. ”

"Wouldn't it be a little unkind to do that?" Zhou Xin thought about it for a while, "Forget it, let's not make a decision here, they haven't made any requests yet." Let's consider it when they make a request, and by the way, we can continue to observe their good and evil during this time. ”

"It's wise."

Just after Zhou Xin finished communicating with the travelers, Chang'e also briefed Spred on the situation of the shelter.

Spred was silent, and Ralph watched him with concern.

After a while, Zhou Xin broke the silence, "This-I'm sorry we went late, if we had gone earlier, we might have been able to save a few people." ”

"It's not your fault." Spred said in a low voice, "It's because they didn't persevere, even if you save the remaining dozen people, it won't help, according to the diary, most of the remaining people are also crazy, it's better to let them rest in peace than to save them back." After a pause, he continued, "I want to record the matter of this Vault, although their efforts have failed, they have at least tried, especially the person in charge of the Vault, he has done his best. I don't blame him for his choice, maybe I would have made the same choice when I was in this situation. Can you give us a copy of the Vault's investigation? I want to pass on their stories. ”

At this point, he sighed, "Alas, I hope that our current situation will be passed on." ”

"There's no problem with this, Chang'e can give you the information, but before that, let's talk about the current situation of your base and what kind of help you need."

Spred hesitated, "Actually—I didn't expect that footage to come in handy at first, because we're not sure if there's going to be a disaster." Moreover, the location of the underground laboratory is also relatively remote, and there are not many people who can find it, and the people who know about that place are usually researchers and the like. So the purpose of leaving the image at the beginning was just to leave evidence of our existence, and to guide the researchers who came to the laboratory later. But what I didn't expect was—" Spred glanced at Chang'e, "I didn't expect to call you aliens in the end." ”

Spred smiled bitterly, and then said bluntly: "Actually, we were still shocked when we first found out that you were aliens, and it was the first time we communicated with aliens. So we are also very cautious in the initial contact, after all, you are also a civilization that can carry out interstellar travel, and it is very advantageous to face us who only have one base left, so we treat you with that attitude when we meet. One is to ease our own inner turmoil, and the other is to test your attitude. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xin smiled, "I just think, the person in charge of a research institute, not to say that it is very serious, but it is not so frivolous." It was tempting us. ”

Spred looked at Ralph with doting, "It's all the ghost's idea." She said that if you use this attitude, at least it won't cause you to resent it, and maybe it will cause more favor. ”

Zhou Xin touched his nose, "We are so easy to deceive." ”

"That's not what I said." Ralph hurriedly said, "The attitude of joking can make people relax, it is a subconscious state of mind. You can't be joking and thinking about a conspiracy at the same time. ”

Spred said embarrassedly, "My daughter is studying psychology. ”

"What if we could really joke and think about a plot against you? We're aliens. Zhou Xin joked.

"That-that-I can't help it." Ralph said weakly, "But now I think you won't. ”

"You know again." Zhou Xin was a little surprised.

"If there was a conspiracy, would you tell it? It's not just perfunctory. Ralph smiled slyly.

Zhou Xin smiled, "It's really a ghost elf." ”

Spred continued the topic and said, "We were slightly relieved by your attitude after meeting, at least it doesn't look like a very evil civilization, so when you asked about the situation of the planet, we chose to tell you. ”

"That's the impact of first impressions." Voyager explained.

"It wasn't until later, after you told us about the Vault, that we chose to trust you, after all, it wouldn't be too evil in nature to find a way to help a civilization that had nothing to do with it."

"Aren't you afraid that the information we give you is all fake?" Zhou Xin was a little puzzled.

At this time, Spred smiled, "If you go to great lengths to deceive us so many people, we will be worth it." But we're not so easily deceived, in fact—I've been to this shelter you've been to before. The details in it can't fool me. So, the first time I saw this refuge, I began to believe in you. ”

Zhou Xin also smiled, "I can't think of it, I can't think of it, you have been to this shelter, this is really a coincidence." I didn't expect the final harvest of the search for the Vault to be on you. I'm curious, what would have happened if you hadn't been to this shelter? ”

Spred pretended to be serious, "Thank you very much for your assistance, the statement on the video is a bit exaggerated, it's just that we want to guide other researchers here, now our base is operating normally, there is no place to need help for the time being, you have worked hard for nothing." After saying that, even he laughed himself.

After hearing these words, Zhou Xin thought for a moment, "It seems that there is still a problem with your base, but it will not be good to directly refuse to help like this." ”

"There's nothing bad about it." Spred said directly, "Instead of giving hope to civilizations that don't know good and evil, it's better for us to linger for a while, and maybe there will be a turnaround." I'd rather perish than live worse than die at the hands of evil aliens. ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "I agree, it's better to have your fate in your own hands." Okay, now that we've built up a basic trust with each other, please tell us the basics of this base. ”

Spred sighed slightly, "Actually, what I just said is not wrong, although the supplies of this base are a bit stretched, but in the case of planned rationing, it is still possible to maintain basic self-sufficiency." And the facilities at this base are also newly built, so we won't have the problem of aging equipment for the time being, but. Spred's tone changed, "Psychological problems can no longer be ignored, people here know more or less about the situation outside, under such psychological pressure, in fact, many people are on the verge of collapse, only because they still have work to persevere, however, if they continue to stay in this base for a long time, I am afraid that they will eventually have problems." ”

"Haven't you tried to build a base on the planet's surface?" Zhou Xin wondered.

"We would like to, but we don't have enough supplies. Moreover, this base was originally built as a scientific research base, and there were no infrastructure construction machines in it. Spred said a little helplessly.

"You mean - you want us to help you build a base on the surface of a planet?" Zhou Xin pretended to be stupid and asked.

"Uh-that's fine if that's what you think." Spred hesitated and said, "But if you can, I'd like you to help us build a ship." ”

"Spaceship?" Zhou Xin wondered, "You still have the ability to travel to space?" ”

Spred was silent, he thought for a while and said, "Didn't I just say that the expedition ship was dismantled and only one warp engine remained, and the rest of the warp engine was placed in this research base, which is one of the reasons why I chose to take refuge in this base in the first place. However, with the current capabilities of our base, it is no longer possible to build a complete spaceship. Although the establishment of a base will also help us a lot, but now you know the situation on this planet, in fact, there is not a big difference in where we live now, as long as we are on this planet, we are just surviving. Unless we go out and find a new habitable planet, we can continue our civilization, otherwise, we will only perish. So—" he begged hopefully, "can you help us build a ship?" It doesn't need to be particularly large, as long as a spaceship that can sustain dozens of people, we just need to keep some seeds to keep our entire race alive. ”

Spred looked at Chang'e hopefully, but Chang'e didn't give a reply for a long time, as if it had stopped.

And behind the scenes, when Zhou Xin listened to Spred's words, he was discussing urgently with the Voyager.

"I didn't expect that there is a good warp engine hidden in this base." Zhou Xin was surprised, "Traveler, this is something we haven't researched, if only we could get it." ”

"Even if you get it, it's useless." The Voyager poured cold water, "Their technology is different from ours, so even if we get their engine, it's hard to figure out how to make it, and most importantly, they don't use the same energy as ours, and we won't even have a hard time starting it after we get it." ”

Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Didn't we get their scientific research materials?" Isn't it even difficult to use it? ”

"There's no such core material, and even if we do, we'll have to start the engine the way they run it. In this case, it may be difficult to repair it in the future. ”

"Can't we get their engines and work backwards out of them to make our own warp engine?"

"There is a possibility, but the two civilizations have different technological methods, and it is difficult to be compatible. We need to start from the ground up with their basic theories and find the common ground between the two civilizations before we can move on to the next step of research. ”

"It's better than nothing."

"But we only have their primary scientific and technological data, and it will take at least a few decades to reconstruct the scientific system of this civilization based on these materials."

Zhou Xin lowered his head and fell into deep contemplation, and after a while, he raised his head, "I want to take a gamble and take them with me." ”

"If it's just for one engine, this ship is against it."

"It's not just for the engine, there is a serious shortage of people on the ship now, if we can keep them, we can make up for the lack of personnel, and this is also an attempt and test." Zhou Xin analyzed, "We will always encounter other alien civilizations in the future, we can't always rely on this method to communicate, and our attitude towards the first civilization will also affect our future exchanges with other civilizations." Think about which ship with only one civilization and one with different civilizations will bring more goodwill to people. ”

"This ship still insists on its own opinion, but what you said is not unreasonable, so this ship reserves its opinion, and I hope that you can make a careful decision, Captain."

"Well, I see."

While Zhou Xin was discussing with the Voyager, Spred and Ralph were looking nervously at Chang'e, waiting for him to make a final decision......
