When Chang'e walked out of the small room, Zhou Xin saw a group of people standing at the door, led by two people, one tall and one short, this time they were not wearing protective clothing, and Zhou Xin clearly saw their faces. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The tall man was about 1.3 meters, and he had a standard Guozi face with thick eyebrows and big bright eyes under the eyebrows. He has a tall nose with a large, angular mouth underneath it. His lips were thick, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his face was serious. He doesn't have a long beard on his mouth, and the cheekbones on his cheeks are not high but large, giving him a very stable appearance. is similar to what Zhou Xin saw on the video, obviously, this is the Spred who appeared on the video.

The short man is about a meter long, very delicate, with slender eyebrows on his face and watery eyes underneath. The small nose is very suitable for the face, and under the nose is a small cherry mouth, compared to the tall man next to him, he looks very fair, and this skin color looks very beautiful with his facial features.

As Zhou Xin saw in the video, their upper body is slender, the lower body is very short, their hands are slightly shorter than those of humans, and they have four fingers on their hands. It looks like that's what their race has in common.

While Zhou Xin was observing them, they were also observing Chang'e and the two robots behind her. After looking at it for a while, the tall man on the left broke the silence.

"Hello Dear Alien, I'm Spred, the head of this base, and I'm very happy to meet for the first time."

"I'm seeing you for the second time." Zhou Xin said with a smile.

Spred was puzzled for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, you saw the image I left behind." ”

"Haha, I'm very happy to meet you, in front of you is my adjutant Chang'e, due to some special reasons, I can only talk to you through Chang'e, I am very sorry for this."

"Hello, I'm Chang'e." Chang'e greeted in her own voice.

"Well, hello, I've heard my daughter tell me about the specific situation." As he spoke, he patted the man next to him on the shoulder.

"Daughter?"

"It's Ralph, she doesn't seem to tell you. Come, good girl, and say hello to them. ”

"I've been beaten outside." The short man said with a hint of playfulness, and after Spred patted her on the head, she stuck out her tongue and continued, "Hello guys, I'm Ralph." It's a pleasure to meet you. Her voice was completely different from what she had been in her hazmat suit.

"Well, that's amazing." Zhou Xin said a little surprised, "Whether it is from the voice or the name, I can't tell that it is a girl just now." ”

"It's all this guy's fault." Ralph glanced at Spred, who was standing next to her, "I chose such a casual name in the first place, and it made people embarrassed every time they introduced their name to others. ”

"Hehe-hehe-hehe-" Spred scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'm not good at names." ”

"Then don't just look for a name from the dictionary and put it on me." Ralph complained.

Seeing that their father and daughter were arguing over the matter of choosing a name, Zhou Xin saw that the people behind them seemed to be surprised, but seeing that the dispute between the two of them seemed to have an endless trend, Zhou Xin reluctantly interrupted: "This-although I think the name is very important, but I think you have forgotten a more important thing now." ”

The two people who were arguing stopped, turned their heads to look at Chang'e, and then they looked at each other, and Spred said embarrassedly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we can't stop arguing about this topic, you see they're all used to it." ”

The people behind Spred quickly turned their heads, pretending not to know the two of them.

Zhou Xin patted his head helplessly, "So, can you get down to business now?" ”

Spred suddenly realized, "By the way, down to business, we've got a grand welcome banquet ready, please come with us, respected alien friend." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a banquet or something." Zhou Xin's face was black, "Isn't it more important to tell me what happened to you?" ”

Just as Zhou Xin reminded them, one of the staff members who had just helped Chang'e with the examination walked out of the other door of the small room, walked up to Spred, whispered something next to his ear, and after the staff member finished speaking, Spred's face was full of surprise.

He looked at Chang'e with a look of surprise and said, "Life forms with all-metal structures and half-metal structures, have your technology evolved to this point?" Or is this your natural life form? It's amazing. ”

Zhou Xin was also surprised, "This is a robot, a robot, not a life form, don't you know what a robot is?" ”

"Robots, robots."

"......" Zhou Xin was speechless, "Chang'e, explain it to them." ”

While Chang'e explained to Spred, Zhou Xin was also discussing with the Voyager.

"Why is the planet's technology so weird?" Zhou Xin was puzzled, "Energy technology is far higher than ours, but they don't even know about robots, don't they have something like a computer?" How did their energy technology come up with it, it couldn't have been calculated manually. ”

"Actually, I can see it in the information I obtained." Voyager replied, "The technology tree of this civilization is very deformed, and the technology related to energy is extremely advanced, but the technology that has nothing to do with energy is very common, basically equivalent to the level of technology we had 2-3 centuries ago, and some technologies are even at the level of the 20th century. The ship speculates that this should have something to do with their living environment, but they should be asked about the specific situation. ”

"Well, I see, I'll ask when I have the chance, and it will also help us in studying the development of extraterrestrial life."

At this time, Chang'e also finished explaining to Spred, and he suddenly realized.

"Putting something made by a smart program on a machine? It's amazing technology. We're just imagining this kind of thing, and you've already done it. Looks like you're more tech-savvy than we are. ”

"Well, only partially." Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, "Actually, you also have a lot of techniques that are worth learning from us." ”

"Oh? Looks like your technology has shortcomings. Spred was blunt.

"How familiar is this sentence." In the base, Zhou Xin communicated with the Voyager, and he said helplessly: "They think that their technology tree is normal, but it is our crookedness. ”

"For their civilization, all the development of this planet is normal, but it is abnormal if it does not conform to the development status of their planet." The Voyager explained.

After hearing this, Zhou Xin was noncommittal, he turned to Spred and said, "Let's not discuss this issue first, let's talk about the situation of your base first." Also, what's going on with the ignition and why do you light the fire. ”

"The welcome banquet." Spred said weakly.

"It doesn't matter, it's how the robot eats." Zhou Xin's face was full of black lines.

"Okay." Spred's expression became serious, "Please come with me, I'll introduce you to the situation of this planet and the base." ”

Spred dispersed the researchers behind him, then led Chang'e out of the hall, and after a short hallway, he opened a door in the hallway.

Walking through the door, Zhou Xin saw a room exactly the same as the room where he saw the image, with rows of tables and chairs neatly arranged in the room, a table resembling a lectern at the front of the room, and on the wall behind the podium, a model of a star system was displayed on the big screen.

Spred walked over to the podium, glanced at the galaxy, and then introduced Chang'e.

"This star system behind me is our home galaxy, or rather, our home galaxy." Spred said with some disappointment, "The stars in this star system we call 'Gao', which means bright and bring light in our language. At this point, the camera zooms in to the vicinity of the star.

"It's RS-0013." The Voyager added.

"The star is very stable, and it hasn't had large-scale anomalous activity for thousands of years since we had the equipment to observe it. Only occasionally will it spew out a small amount of substance like a stretch before calming down. ”

The image of the star erupting appeared on the screen, only to see a small cloud of material ejected from the star, and after a while, the mass of material fell back under the influence of the star's own gravity.

"This is the largest outbreak detected in thousands of years." Spred continued.

"The eruption was about one-fifth as violent as a normal solar eruption." The Voyager concluded.

"Originally, we should be glad that we have such a stable star, which is very beneficial to the development of our civilization, but." Spred's tone shifted, and the screen returned to the perspective of the whole galaxy, and then an inconspicuous dot appeared within the star system. "But the location of our home planet 'Ray' is too awkward, it is just at the farthest point of the habitable zone of this star, if the parent star is a little farther away from the star, there will be no liquid water on this planet, and there will be no existence of us." The dot on the screen zooms in, and then a planet appears in front of you. Zhou Xin saw that there was a clear difference between the three zones on the planet, which was exactly the same as the one drawn on the topographic map.

"The white part of the north and south sides of this planet is completely ice and snow, and only a narrow area in the middle is suitable for our civilized life." "And even in this habitable area, the temperature doesn't exceed 10 degrees Celsius all year round. Only a few days before and after the summer solstice will exceed this temperature, although we are used to this kind of life, but such a low temperature still brings great trouble to the development of our civilization. ”

After a pause, he continued, "Life on the planet, including plants, grows very slowly, making it very difficult for us to get food. Wars often broke out between humans in ancient times, and most of the reasons for the outbreak of wars were over food. Eventually, a man named Reps cultivated a high-yielding food crop, and the problem was basically solved, but it was only just enough, and the food of our civilization was basically in a state of planned rationing. ”

"After the food problem was basically solved, we began to slowly enter the industrial age. However, after the beginning of the industrial age, a new problem arose, which gave rise to a greater controversy, and that was the issue of energy. ”

"You know it takes a lot of energy to complete industrialization." Spred asked at Chang'e, who nodded.

"In the beginning, we still had fossil energy to use. However, the planet is not rich in fossil energy, and even a world war broke out for these energy sources. It was only after the Great War that we realized that the planet had so little energy that even if we could grab some energy, it would be useless, and a lot of energy would be consumed by the war between us. In the end, we have no choice but to join forces and find ways to get more energy. ”

"When people are trying their best to discover new energy, 'Gao' can appear." Spred took a sip of water, "A man named Remington has discovered a certain material that, after a certain treatment, can convert the light that 'Gao' hits the planet into an energy source that we can use. As a result, this energy source instantly became the energy that everyone on the planet scrambled to study. ”

"But in the beginning, this energy conversion efficiency was still very low, so it would take up a lot of land to get enough energy, but this is in conflict with the few arable soil bodies on our planet. At this time, someone came up with a genius idea to put the energy conversion panel into space. ”

"At this time, we began to observe space, but at that time, launching things into space was still a fantasy, a matter that could only be seen in science fiction, so we concentrated a lot of energy on astronautics. Finally, after a hundred years, we successfully launched the first man-made object. When Sputnik succeeded in sending back the signal, we all cheered. ”

"Then, just as we envisioned, we launched a large number of conversion panels into space, and then transported the collected energy back to the planet's surface through a storage device, and in order to be able to bring back more energy at once, we developed astronautical science and energy science."

"However, the energy brought back in this way is only a drop in the bucket. Far from satisfying the needs of our industrialization, we have no choice but to concentrate all our energy on cosmology and energetics in order to obtain more energy. ”

At this point, Spred paused......
