"So, our investigation has reached an impasse?" After listening to Atlas's words, Spred reluctantly concluded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"At least the investigative tools we are allowed to use at this stage are nowhere to be found." The little girl corrected Spred's claim, "If the probe could activate all kinds of auxiliary detection equipment, our investigation would not be so difficult." ”

"Is there no way to do it? Is there nothing on the probe that we can use? Zhou Xin asked with some frowns.

"It's not like no device can't boot." Atlas replied.

"Oh? Is there any other equipment that can be used? So why not? "It's Dart who asked the question this time.

"It's not that you don't use it, it's that you can't use it." The little girl explained, "Actually, what I just said is not accurate enough, it should be that all the devices on the detector that can actively send out detection signals cannot be used, but only the detection equipment with signal reception function can still be used." For example, a seismic wave detector can be used to receive seismic signals from the planet itself, and then analyze whether there are large holes in the ground based on the signals. However, the detectors on the small detectors cannot analyze the seismic signals that are too weak, and only those with a magnitude of 5 or higher can be analyzed. But unfortunately, Songxing is a relatively stable planet, and the probability of an earthquake of magnitude 5 or higher is relatively low. ”

"That means we can only continue our investigation when there happens to be an earthquake of magnitude 5 or higher on Songxing?" Zhou Xin asked.

"And the location of the earthquake should be relatively close to the central city, if it is too far, the shock wave will be too weak." Atlas added.

"Isn't there any other device like it?" Spred asked.

"Yes, there is, but the detection accuracy of other equipment is lower, which is the best way for people to think of now." Atlas's tone was also a little helpless.

Sighing, Zhou Xin spoke, "Then let the probe stand by first, let's try our luck." By the way, I'm also going to contact the community to see if they can do anything. With that, he started to contact each other. After a while, a familiar face appeared on the screen.

"Pro, help me find Demancha, I have something to do with him." Zhou Xin said directly to Puluo on the screen.

"Why do you ask me to run errands every time?" After knowing each other for a long time, Puluo also dared to joke with Zhou Xin.

"No way, who told me that it's almost always you every time I contact?" Zhou Xin smiled, "For the sake of your hard work, I will definitely tell Demancha and let him give you a promotion." ”

"Don't." Prolo said in a nervous tone as he walked out, "If you really tell him that, then I will definitely be taught a lesson by him." ”

A few minutes later, a grease-stained Demancha appeared in front of the screen.

"Are you—?" Seeing the image of the other party at this moment, Zhou Xin suddenly felt a little surprised.

"Sorry, just came out of the factory." Demancha replied, "Because most of the people have been transferred to study the various materials you have sent, we are short of people here and there. There is no way, we leaders have also been arrested to do our work. Don't look at me like I am now, you know, I used to be a senior technician too. As he spoke, he seemed to be caught up in the memory. However, it didn't take long for him to come back to his senses and ask, "Speaking of which, we haven't been in touch for a few days. Do you have anything to do with me today? Is there a result of your investigation into Central City? Or are you going to hand over the next part of the technical data to us? ”

"Unfortunately, it's not what you think." Zhou Xin's tone was slightly apologetic, "Our probe's investigation in the central city is in trouble. He then took some time to give a brief explanation of the investigation to Demancha. Then he asked: "So we haven't found the existence of the underground base under the central city at all, and we can't even find the intersection." So I'd like to ask you, do you know where the entrance to the base is? Even if there is no exact location, only an approximate range. ”

After listening carefully to Zhou Xin's words, Demancha showed a helpless expression, "I have already told you all the information we know before. As for the location of the entrance you mentioned, we really don't know. ”

"Don't you even have a clue?" Spred asked again, with a glimmer of hope, "Even if it's a rumor or something." ”

"Not really." Demancha shook his head.

"That's a shame." Zhou Xin said with a disappointed tone.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you." Demancha's tone was deeply apologetic.

"Forget it, it's okay, I know your difficulties. In that case, I won't continue to bother with your research. With that, Zhou Xin ended the communication.

"What's next?" "Can we just count on an earthquake that doesn't know when it's going to happen?" Spred asked. ”

"What else can be done." Zhou Xin's tone was also very helpless. He thought for a while, and then said, "Atlas, although it shouldn't be of much use, let's let the probe do another detailed investigation of Central City, and wait for an earthquake of magnitude 5 or higher that doesn't know when it will happen." ”

"Okay." The little girl nodded, and after arranging the probe's action, she then mentioned another thing, "Brother Captain, those space buildings have changed direction continuously in the past ten days, and they have begun to orbit around 150,000 kilometers away from Songxing a few days ago. In the past few days, the orbits of those space structures have not changed much. ”

"Could it be that after a long time, the Ewen people just want to build a few space stations?" Hearing this report, Zhou Xin was a little surprised.

"I don't think -- maybe it's not that simple." Dart thought for a moment before he said uncertainly, "Strictly speaking, it's still a time of war, what's the use of making a few inexplicable space stations at such a time?" In terms of time, I'm afraid that the dozen or so space buildings will have something to do with this war. ”

"Isn't it just some civilian space building? What does this have to do with war? Spred said disapprerovingly, "They can't have any weapons on the space building." ”

"Maybe that's possible." Spred's last sentence reminded Zhou Xin, "Do you remember the excuse that the Ewen Empire used to let the rebels in Space City leave with the fleet? Maybe that excuse might be true, and Space City can really be used as a weapon. And have you forgotten that there is an unexplored area in every space building, and maybe there are weapons inside. ”

As soon as Zhou Xin finished speaking, the entire command cabin suddenly fell into silence. After a while, Dart spoke, "It's not impossible, but if there are really weapons on the space buildings, then what do they want to do when they fly so far away from Songxing?" The nearest Kazran fleet to them was more than 100,000 kilometers, could it be that the Ewen Empire wanted to launch some kind of attack on the other side at such a long distance? What kind of weapons of theirs can attack such a long distance? ”

"Whether there is one, we'll see." Zhou Xin shrugged, "Anyway, the space buildings have already started to move, which means that the Ewen will put them into battle soon, so there is no need to waste time guessing." ”

Although Zhou Xin said what he thought with a lot of certainty, the people in the command cabin still looked at the dozen or so space buildings on the screen and whispered for a long time. The topic was mainly about the various speculations about the abnormal actions of those space buildings, because they were still somewhat skeptical of Zhou Xin's claim that those buildings were imperial weapons. Zhou Xin did not stop this discussion among others, but looked at the screen in front of him attentively, not knowing what he was thinking.

Then, the people on the Voyager spent another few days peacefully, even so stable that even Zhou Xin and the others became a little impatient. In the intervening days, all ongoing investigations have yielded no progress. As Zhou Xin had instructed, the probe surveyed the entire city in detail again, but found nothing of value other than a few buildings that might need to be repaired for the Ewen Empire. Of course, this was just a joke reported to Zhou Xin when Atlas was bored. According to her next half-joking, half-serious report, "The probe didn't even find any joints on the floor, so it can be said that the surface near Yangcheng is a complete piece." ”

At the same time, the space structures that were moving abnormally seemed to have stopped changing after coming to an orbit of 150,000 kilometers from Songxing. For the past few days, they have been running slowly along the orbit in an orderly manner, and those attitude control engines seem to have never started again as if they have completely lost fuel, which makes Zhou Xin can't help but doubt the idea that the space building he just said a few days ago is some kind of weapon of the Ewen Empire.

Not only did the space structures do nothing, but even the two fleets in orbit closer to Songxing below them didn't make any action in the past few days. All in all, their confrontation has been maintained for nearly a month, but no side has taken the initiative to retreat, no side has dared to take the initiative to attack, and even the battle line has not pushed further to the other side. But what is strange is that in the past few days, the Republic of Kazlan has once again begun to continue to send additional troops to the front line, and the Eune Empire does not know whether it is too confident or some other reason, and has not seen the reinforcements appear. In this case, the size of the Kazran fleet has begun to slowly catch up with or even surpass the Eun fleet, and the situation of this war seems to be slowly beginning to tilt to the side of the Republic of Kazran. But the Ewen didn't seem to see out about their opponents, and they didn't react at all.

The only thing worth asking about may be the community, after obtaining the information provided by Zhou Xin. Their technology is evolving day by day, and according to Demancha, "the community is breaking new ground every day." Of course, this is not just the credit of the information they provided. Prior to this, the Community had been perfecting its technical level, but it was always stuck in some key areas and did not make progress. The information provided by Voyager solves many of these problems, thus speeding up the process of many projects that are nearing completion. But that's all there is to the community, and it's enough for the community to thank them, not to mention that there are a lot of missing technologies that the community hasn't started working on yet. In the past few days of contact with the community, the most words Zhou Xin heard from Demancha were thanks, which even made Zhou Xin a little embarrassed to contact the other party.

On this day, Zhou Xin was frowning and looking at the moving picture on the screen. The picture shows a city, and the perspective is walking between the tall buildings of the city. As time passed, the camera moved faster and faster, and eventually the crowd could no longer even see the images on the screen. But Zhou Xin continued to stare at the screen as if he didn't notice this. That's right, what appeared on the screen at this time was the topographical map of the central city drawn by Atlas, and Zhou Xin controlled the camera to move unconsciously on the map drawn by Atlas.

In this way, Zhou Xin walked through the city from one end of the city to the other before finally coming back to his senses, and then he asked without giving up: "Is there really nothing that the detector has found?" ”

"Not really." This time Atlas did not joke, but replied seriously.

"It's strange how the Kazlan managed to hide the entrance." Zhou Xin frowned and muttered to himself.

"Actually, they may not be hidden, but we just haven't found them." The little girl replied, "Although the probe has indeed inspected the entire city twice, there must be something missing in a city of this size with less than a hundred of them." What's more, most of the equipment on the detector is too limited to use, and it is easier to ignore most of the details with a single lens that observes visible light. ”

"It's really uncomfortable to be constrained everywhere, and if it really doesn't work, just let the probe turn on all the equipment and investigate." Dart asked, "Open it every once in a while, and quickly move the location after the investigation is completed, so that it should be difficult for the other party to grasp the whereabouts of the probe." ”

"Nope." Zhou Xin shook his head, "I have thought about this method for a long time, although this method of yours can reduce the probability of being discovered, it is not enough to ensure that it will not be discovered by the other party." While the Kazlans may not be able to detect our probes, it would be very disadvantageous for us to detect an anomaly and thus increase the defense level of the entire city or even the base. If, in the end, it is for this reason that we have no way to obtain neutron matter from the Kazlans, it will be too late to regret it. ”

Just when everyone's thoughts were still stuck in the investigation of Central City, Atlas's voice suddenly sounded, "Brother Captain, the Eun fleet has begun to move......
