Chapter 100: A Conversation Between the Two
"What are these rooms for, they can't really be garbage heaps. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Xin asked in surprise.
At the same time as Zhou Xin spoke, there was an unusual movement outside one of the rooms, and seeing this, the detector in the room quickly hid in the pile of debris.
"Strange, didn't you say it, remember to close the door after taking something, who didn't close it this time?" Before anyone outside could enter, there was a grumbling voice.
After a few seconds, a Kazlan walked in, and he began to rummage through the pile, "Alas, there are fewer and fewer small controllers, and this thing is still easy to break, and if you don't replenish some more, there will be no backup, I wonder if the spaceship that went out to explore has brought some back." "After rummaging through a pile of things for a long time, the alien finally found a small device. Zhou Xin saw that the device was only the size of a fist, with a few lines exposed on one side and a few buttons on the other. After finding this thing, the man's face finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he tried to press every button on it, and while pressing, Zhou Xin heard a "click" sound from the switch.
Hearing this voice, the man's brows suddenly furrowed, "Is it already broken?" How to put the bad stuff in this warehouse. As he spoke, he took the gadget in one hand, and searched the clutter again with the other.
After a few more minutes, the man found a small device in the clutter pile, and after pressing it a few times, several of the buttons also clicked, "How many buttons are also broken?" The alien's voice looked a little dissatisfied, "Forget it, I don't need so many buttons anyway, so let's make do with it." With that, he walked out of the room with a device in one hand.
"Looks like it's not a garbage heap here." That's when Spred spoke, "Instead, it's supposed to be the place where the items they've recovered are stacked." β
Zhou Xin also understood, and he was a little surprised, "I didn't expect them to recycle so many things." β
"Actually, compared to the ships that were destroyed, there isn't much here." "Maybe the salvaged items have been sifted through before they're piled up in this room, or maybe there's more to it than that." β
Knowing what the rooms were for, the probes were not interested in investigating the recovered items in detail, and they all returned to the hallway from the rooms, this time, of course, they didn't forget to close the door.
One of the probes followed the alien who had just come in looking for something, and after coming out of the room, he didn't go far before he entered another room, and before the door was closed, the probe slipped in.
As soon as you enter the door, a large machine appears in front of the camera, and next to the machine are two people standing, one of whom is the alien that the probe is tracking. Now, he was standing there silently, and the gadget that had been in his hand was now in the hands of another alien.
Almost identical to the alien at the beginning when he was in the warehouse, the man holding the device pressed all the buttons on the device, and then his brow furrowed, "Is it half broken?" His voice sounded a little old. As he spoke, he leaned the device onto the large machine next to him. Zhou Xin saw that there was a square groove on the side of the large machine, and there were still a few threads left in the groove. "Even the size is not right." The old voice continued.
"Master, can't this controller work?" The man next to him said, "Do you want me to find another one in the warehouse?" β
"Forget it, it can barely work." The old voice said, "I may not be able to find a more suitable one if I look for it again, just change it a little." As he spoke, he walked over to the table at the end of the machine, where various tools were still placed. Then, the man grabbed a handful of tools and began to disassemble the controls.
The man's hands looked a little withered in the dim light, but his movements were still very nimble, and in less than five minutes he had dismantled the small device into a pile of parts. Then, he picked up another tool from the table and began to work on certain parts.
This time it took a long time, nearly half an hour, before he put the pile of parts back together and restored them to the way they were at the beginning, "Okay, I modified the shape a little, and repaired the two buttons by the way, and it should be no problem now." As he spoke, he put the device in his hand into the groove again, and this time, the device that was much larger than the groove was just enough to fit into the groove. The rest of the process was relatively simple, the withered hands connected the threads exposed in the grooves with the threads on the device one by one, and after connecting them, he pressed the button on the device, and the machine was running normally.
After observing the operation of the machine for a while, the old master exclaimed: "This exploration team can be regarded as a good thing, except for the switch, this machine has almost no other damage, and it seems that it has just been produced, and now the old antique in the factory can finally retire." β
"Master, is this really the case?" The voice of the man next to him seemed very happy.
"Nonsense, don't you believe that the old man's vision is not successful." The old master feigned a tone of anger, "Okay, let's transport this machine to another place." I heard that you seem to have brought back a lot of good things this time, so hurry up and move in for the old man to see. Then his tone became relieved, "It's been so many years, and those old antiques can finally die." β
"It's all useless." The young voice sounded a little self-reproachful, "It's been so long, we still can't build a working machine tool ourselves, and we can only rely on picking up ready-made ones and repairing them." β
"You can't all be blamed for this, we have a serious technological fault here." The old master sighed, "After all, there are too few people who have the same idea as us, and the technology brought by the people who come here is also uneven, so we don't have a complete industrial system now, and it is really difficult for you to make a complete machine from the incomplete technology." β
"We've been hiding for so long, when will we be able to show up in front of everyone." The young voice also sighed, "If that's the case, maybe we can recruit more like-minded people to join us." β
"You're still thinking too much." The old master continued, "I tried it before I came here, but when I told the people around me about my thoughts, no one believed me, and even tried to arrest me. Then his voice was a little low, "Most people have been brainwashed by the government, and it's clear that they trust their government more than what we say, and it's really hard to change their minds." Then he reacted, "Okay, old man, I seem to be nagging a little too much, it's really hard for you to be able to listen to it, so let's not talk about it, let's move this thing out and change it in for now." He patted the running machine and turned it off, "I heard that the exploration team has brought back a lot of good things, and the old man is already a little impatient." β
After listening to the conversation between the two people, Zhou Xin and the others were immediately attracted by the content of what the two of them said.
"Brainwashing?" Zhou Xin muttered to himself curiously, "How did the people on the planet get brainwashed? And what kind of content are they being indoctrinated by the government? β
"You believe what they say?" Spred asked, "Don't you ever doubt the veracity of what they're saying?" β
"I think it's quite credible." Zhou Xin replied, "Unless they knew that our detector was eavesdropping, they had such a conversation in order to mislead us, but the conversation just now sounded very natural, not like it was deliberately faked, and I didn't see any unusual expressions on the faces of the two of them." β
After listening to Zhou Xin's answer, Spred nodded thoughtfully, in fact, he had basically believed the conversation between the two people when he asked the question just now, and he asked this question just to verify whether Zhou Xin's idea would be different from his own.
"If, according to what they say, people on the planet have been brainwashed, then what are those contents of brainwashing?" Dart asked, and then he thought about it, "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that all the news we got from Aina is fake?" β
"It's not all fake, but some of it is certainly fictional." Zhou Xin replied casually, hearing Dart's question, Zhou Xin and Spred both fell into deep thought, and after a while, they showed expressions of understanding almost at the same time, "History." Then, the two of them said in unison. Hearing what the other party said, Zhou Xin and Spred looked at each other and smiled, and at the same time, after hearing this word, Dart's face also showed an expression of sudden realization.
"It seems that our previous guess should not be wrong, these two civilizations not only conceal history, but even the history on the surface may be fictional, so we only thought that the history of the Eun Empire told by Aina before was so strange." Zhou Xin continued.
"Andβ" Spred continued, "since those two men just knew that the people on the planet had been brainwashed, it means that there is a good chance that they knew the real history. It looks like the probe is going to have one more investigation. β
"Actually, it's not much, and they definitely have this kind of content stored in their database." Zhou Xin said, and then he continued to ask, "Atlas, have you found their database?" β
"Hurry, hurry." The little girl replied, "Although their encryption technology is not so superb, the database is still quite hidden, brother captain, give people some more time, and it will be fine immediately." β
"It looks like we're getting close to the truth." Zhou Xin muttered to himself thoughtfully, and while he was thinking, a communication from the medical room interrupted his train of thought. Before you know it, almost two hours have passed.
Connected to the communication as quickly as possible, Zhou Xin asked directly, "How's the situation?" β
"This-Captain's brother-" Before Wren could speak, Atlas rushed to say, "Uncle Wren and I still haven't noticed anything abnormal in Aina's body, she really just seems to be asleep." β
Wren then reaffirmed this conclusion, and at the same time he explained in detail: "After examination, it was found that the three drugs seemed to have an unusual reaction in Aina's body, and finally produced a new substance that had never been seen before, and this substance seemed to have a strong hypnotic effect on the Eun, so Aina collapsed in an instant, looking as if she was unconscious." β
After listening to Wren's explanation, Zhou Xin finally felt a little relieved, and after he relaxed, he remembered another thing, "In this way, in addition to having a strong hypnotic effect, these three drugs have no other side effects?" In the second half of the sentence, there was joy in his words.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Wren understood Zhou Xin's thoughts in an instant, and his brows furrowed, "The three drugs that Aina injected herself, any one of them has a good anti-infection effect when used alone. However, if one or two drugs were used on the injured alien alone, I am afraid that the result would be completely different from what happened to Aina, and if the three drugs were used together like her, the three drugs would become another substance, not the original three drugs at all, and whether they would have an anti-infection effect is only God knows. β
After listening to Ren's words, Zhou Xin's face also became a little bad, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and asked, "How much time does that alien have left?" β
"The disease progressed much faster than I expected, and it was originally expected that he would be able to resist at least until noon the day after tomorrow, but with the current situation, it is difficult to say whether he can survive tomorrow." Wren's tone was a little heavy.
"Treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor." Zhou Xin sighed, "Do you have any other ways now?" If you don't have one, give it a try. β
"That's what I intended." Wren replied, "If I don't find a more effective solution by noon tomorrow, then I'm going to try these three drugs." β
"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, "It's okay for you to decide this yourself, by the way, when will Aina wake up." β
"The hypnotic effect of this drug does not seem to be weak, and it is estimated that you will not want to wake up for two or three days."
After understanding the specific situation, Zhou Xin was completely relieved, and after his mood relaxed, he suddenly felt boundless sleepiness, yawned repeatedly, and Zhou Xin left the command cabin......
