"Forget it, the topic seems to be a little far away, let's go back to the content of the diary. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Zhou Xin said, "Do anyone still have any doubts about the contents of the diary?" ”

Everyone glanced at each other after hearing Zhou Xin's question, and then many people couldn't help but shake their heads. Spred didn't shake his head, he thought for a long time, as if he was recalling the details in his diary. Suddenly, four words popped out of his mouth, "Red-skinned monkey." ”

"What?" Zhou Xin didn't understand what Spred was saying at first, and after Spred repeated it again, he remembered the word that only appeared once or twice in his diary.

"Red-skinned monkeys." "Who do you think that word is talking about?" ”

"I guess it's someone from another force on the planet." Zhou Xin thought for a while, and replied uncertainly, "This kind of title can only refer to the forces that oppose them, it's impossible that they will call their own people 'red-skinned monkeys', Atlas, are you right?" ”

"That's true." Atlas replied, "I do hear this word occasionally when listening to the communications of this civilization, and it is indeed the name of a person from a circle continent to a person from another continent." By the way, people on another continent call people on the circular continent 'hairless monkeys'. ”

Thinking of the appearance of the dead aliens in the fusiform device he saw before, Zhou Xin instantly understood why it was called this, and he suddenly felt a little crying and laughing, "It seems that the contradiction between the civilizations of the two continents is not small, and even the title is so unceremoniously." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Dart was slightly stunned, he seemed to remember something, and then he showed a thoughtful expression. After thinking for a while, his expression was a little stunned, and finally he shook his head slightly, and did not say what was in his heart.

After discussing the topic of "monkeys", the discussion of the diary came to an end, and no one found anything in the diary that deserved special attention. So, Zhou Xin took advantage of the remaining time, he calmed down and sorted out the follow-up work, and then he found that there were many things that needed to be paid attention to next: first, the analysis and study of the unknown items in the fusiform device and the lockbox. The second is to search for the shuttle that disappeared into the asteroid belt. Of course, the most important thing in the next few days is the search for the wreckage of the spacecraft, as well as the monitoring of the daily communications of this civilization and the monitoring of the movements of the aircraft in orbit. Of course, there are other small things that are not very important, and after Zhou Xin arranged them one by one, the day was over......

The next day, Zhou Xin focused most of his energy on the probe's investigation of the wreckage of the fleet. The probes arrived in the area near the wreckage late last night to search the wreckage, but until Zhou Xin got up, they had not found any valuable clues in the wreckage that covered a large area of space. When Zhou Xin walked into the command module and heard the first news that was this, he couldn't help but look a little disappointed, but he didn't show this emotion, but sat quietly in his place and looked at the other reports, while paying attention to the results of the probe's search for the wreckage.

Fearing that there was a hidden spacecraft that had not yet been recovered, the probe's search for the wreckage was very slow, and it was not until noon that day that the probe had a rough search of the perimeter of the wreckage.

"Your Excellency, Captain, the probe has completed its survey of the perimeter of the wreckage." Just as Zhou Xin was having lunch, the traveler's report finally arrived.

"Say."

"After a preliminary investigation of the wreckage, the area of dense wreckage covered an area more than 4,000 meters long and more than 2,000 meters in diameter." The Voyager reported as it drew out this dense area of wreckage on the screen, and Zhou Xin saw a dense number of small dots gathered in a small area that looked like a cylinder, and there were many small dots in a large area around this cylinder, but in terms of density, it was far less dense than the cylinder area. Voyager continued: "On the periphery of the dense area, there is a debris radiation area with a radius of more than ten kilometers, and the main objects in this area are small pieces of metal fragments flying at high speed around them, and with the passage of time, this area is still expanding at a very fast speed, but because the main body of the wreckage is basically gathered in the core area, the impact of this area on the probe is not great for the time being, mainly because the probe is vulnerable to high-speed metal fragments when passing through this area." ”

"Well, let all the probes pay attention to this and don't get hit by the debris." Zhou Xin nodded while eating, "What about the investigation of the area where the wreckage is dense?" Did you find anything? ”

"For the time being, the probe has only searched along the periphery of the wreckage area, and has not yet penetrated into the core of the wreckage area." Voyager replied, adding, "In the probe's observation from the periphery to the core, no fragments of debris capable of reaching more than ten meters in length have been found so far. However, due to the dense debris in the core area, the center of the wreckage is blocked by the outer wreckage, and the lens of the probe can only see a range of about 500 meters, so they have no way to observe the center of the wreckage for the time being. ”

"Is that group of flying machines really handled so meticulously?" Zhou Xin sighed, "If all the fragments are really only so small, then it will be difficult." Then he instructed the Voyager, "Let the probe continue to survey the core area in detail, and I don't believe that there will be no fish in such a large area." ”

"Understood." The Voyager replied, "The next step for the probe is to go deep into the center of the wreckage and conduct a detailed survey of the wreckage area, do you have any other instructions for the arrangement of this ship, Your Excellency?" ”

Zhou Xin shook his head, "Just follow your arrangement." After a moment's thought, he then asked, "Didn't Atlas say that he had observed that many intact escape pods had survived?" Haven't the probes found an escape pod until now? ”

"This work was directly snatched away by that artificial intelligence, and the ship does not know the specific progress of the matter."

"I said don't call other people artificial intelligence anymore, little sister, why are you still so ignorant." No sooner had the Voyager finished speaking than Atlas's voice rang out.

"Alright, Atlas, let's get down to business." Zhou Xin saw that the situation was not good, and quickly changed the topic, "Haven't you found an escape pod after so long?" ”

"I've found it." The little girl's voice became a little depressed, "The probe was asked to follow the escape routes of the intact escape pods that they had seen before, but all they found were some seriously damaged escape pods, which were later hit by high-speed flying debris in the process of escaping. ”

Hearing Atlas's answer, Zhou Xin couldn't help but be a little disappointed, "Didn't you escape the fate of death like this?" ”

"Brother Captain, don't be too disappointed." Atlas comforted, "Although none of the escape pods that people have found before have survived, at least half of the escape pods have not been found, and maybe there will be one or two survivors in the remaining half of the escape pods." ”

"Then you're going to speed up." Zhou Xin reminded, "There are so many debris in that area now, and the longer it drags on, the greater the probability that those intact escape pods will be attacked by debris, and the slimmer our hope of finding survivors will be." ”

"People understand, but they also have to take the time to calculate the escape routes of those escape pods. Those who are easy to calculate the route have already searched for it first, and the rest are some escape pods that managed to escape when the explosion was at its worst. Under the influence of the shock wave of the explosion, the route of these escape pods will be affected somewhat, and if people don't calculate it, they will not be able to find it. ”

"As soon as possible, anyway." Zhou Xin was also very helpless about this, and he could only add this sentence.

But before his words fell, Atlas's voice rang out again, "Brother Captain, find it, find it." Then the screen changed to a pitch-black cosmic space, and in the middle of the screen, a capsule-shaped object was sitting silently.

Hearing Atlas's words, Zhou was shocked, followed by ecstasy, "Did you find an intact one?" ”

"It's a bit far away, and people aren't quite sure." Atlas's words made Zhou Xin calm down a little, "But judging from the picture seen by the probe now, it is very likely that this escape pod is intact, at least there are not many metal fragments in its surroundings." ”

"Take a closer look." Zhou Xin said with excitement.

In less than three minutes, the probe had already approached the escape capsule, and at a distance of about five meters from the escape capsule, the probe no longer continued to approach, but circled around it to observe. After a round and turn, Atlas reported good news.

"It looks like a complete escape pod, and no signs of damage have been found."

"Then bring it back quickly." Zhou Xin's tone was full of excitement. But before his words fell, a sudden change occurred.

Seeing that, Zhou Xin saw that the lower part of the capsule-shaped escape pod in front of the camera began to emit thick smoke, followed by the flames of the explosion.

"What's going on?!" Looking at all this happening in front of him, Zhou Xin's tone seemed a little desperate, "Why did it suddenly explode?!" ”

"People don't know." The little girl on the screen also looked a little helpless now, "The probe didn't find anything nearby to hit the escape pod." ”

"Don't care how it got hit." Spred seemed calmer at this time, "The top priority is to let the probe bring this escape pod back to the spacecraft first, and see if the people inside are still saved." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Under Spred's reminder, Zhou Xin finally reacted, "Atlas, hurry up and bring this escape pod back." ”

Before Zhou Xin's words could be finished, after hearing Spred's reminder, Atlas took action. In just a few seconds, the probe was glued to the escape pod, and with a slight change of direction, the probe began to fly back with it towards the Voyager.

In just a dozen seconds, the fire at the bottom of the escape hatch had disappeared, but the smoke continued to emerge from inside. Looking at the smoke coming out of it, Zhou Xin's heart twitched, and he asked nervously, "How much time will it take for the probe to bring this escape pod back?" ”

"At least half an hour." Atlas gave the answer in a split second.

"So long." Hearing Atlas's answer, Zhou Xin already didn't have much hope.

"Maybe there will be salvation." Spred's attitude was quite optimistic, and he said comfortingly, "If it wasn't the important part of the escape pod that was damaged, maybe it would have been in time." ”

"Let's hope that's the case." Zhou Xin's answer seemed weak.

For the next half hour, Zhou Xin didn't care about it at all, just stared at the picture on the screen tightly. Due to the distance, only the lower half of the escape capsule appeared in the lens of the detector now, and Zhou Xin's mood was very bad looking at the smoke coming out of the explosion site from time to time. What made him feel even more chilled was that just as the escape pod was about to return to the Voyager, the smoke-emitting part exploded again. The occurrence of this explosion made Zhou Xin's mood completely fall to the bottom.

Despite this, he had a glimmer of hope that the probe would bring the escape pod back to the ship. In the dock of the Voyager, Zhou Xin had already ordered the engineering robots to get ready, and even Dr. Wren waited in the dock early with several medical robots under Zhou Xin's notice, and even in order to prevent any accidents, even the special robot controlled by Atlas appeared here.

The screen switches from the probe back to the dock, where the isolation hatch has just opened, and the probe rushes in with the still smoking escape pod.

In the process of filling the air into the isolation cabin, the violent fire rekindled in the rescue cabin, which was originally only smoking, but Zhou Xin had already been numbed by the previous series of accidents, he just stared at the fire on the screen blankly, without saying a word.

At the fastest speed, the isolation chamber was filled with gas, and then the engineering robot quickly rushed into the isolation chamber and began to extinguish the fire, and in less than five minutes, the originally violent fire was extinguished. After the fire was extinguished, Atlas took matters into her own hands to rescue the survivors inside the pod, using various tools to make a hole in the pod in just one minute.

"The inside of the escape pod is empty." After opening the hole, Atlas glanced inside, and then said to Zhou Xin......
