"And you're going to help us build the ship?" Ralph asked hopefully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Xin thought for a moment and hesitated: "That--actually, we don't have enough materials and manpower to build a spaceship." ”

"What?!" Ralph was surprised, "Then you just swore that you would build a spaceship for us!" Could it be that your purpose is to deceive our drawings?! ”

"Don't be so rude." Spred scolded, "If he wants to lie to our drawings, he should tell us when he has them, how can he tell them now." Listen to what they have to say next. He turned his face to Chang'e and said apologetically, "The little girl is rude, please don't care." ”

Zhou Xin scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's actually me who wants to say I'm sorry, it's that I didn't make it clear just now." Actually, we also had a bit of a hard time, so we couldn't even build a small spaceship for the time being. ”

"Humph! That's not lying to us. Ralph whispered beside him.

Spred glanced at her, and then said to Chang'e, "I don't know what you have encountered in a difficult situation, is there anything we can help with?" Of course, after helping, I hope you can still help us build a ship. ”

"You believe in us." Zhou Xin was a little surprised.

"I don't believe what else you can do." Spred said with a tone of loss, "Actually, I know very well in my heart that if we lose our home planet, as long as we don't leave this planet, we will perish sooner or later." If you hadn't come, I'd have been prepared to take them for as long as I wanted, and maybe in the end, we'll be in the same state of the shelter you mentioned. However, what I didn't expect at all was that my original message actually attracted you aliens, and at this time, if I don't put my hope on you, who else can I put on you? It's impossible to pray for a second wave of aliens. ”

Zhou Xin wiped his nose, "I always feel as if I have become your savior." ”

"It's the savior." Ralph got excited, "Do you know why I'm so excited when I know you're aliens out there?" Part of it was because I was meeting an alien for the first time, but more importantly, I believed you could save us from this desperate situation. What else could this be if it wasn't a savior for us. By the end, her voice was full of tears.

"Don't cry just yet." There was a hint of panic in Zhou Xin's tone, "It's not that I won't help you, although we can't help you build a spaceship now, but there are still other ways." ”

"What's the solution?" This time it was Spred who asked the question.

Zhou Xin hesitated, "This-"

"Is there something unspeakable?" Spred seemed to see Zhou Xin's hesitation.

"Ahh ”

"Let us know if we're going to hear your story first." Ralph interrupted.

"Don't worry, listen to what they have to say first." Spred stopped Ralph, who seemed to hear something from Zhou Xin's tone.

"Chang'e, tell them about us."

When Chang'e told Spred about the Voyager's experience, Zhou Xin discussed it with the host in the Voyager.

"It's a bit of a hassle, the engine drawings are incomplete." Zhou Xin felt a little headache, "Can we successfully copy an engine with broken drawings?" ”

"I can't judge until I see the drawings, but according to their descriptions, I don't think the difficulty will be too low."

"That's what I thought too." Zhou Xin made up his mind, "So I finally decided to take them with me." ”

"Please make your decision carefully." The Voyager reminded again.

"I've thought about it." Zhou Xin replied calmly, "I basically saw the general structure of this base when I first came in, according to the size, the number of people in this base will not be more than the people in the shelter, if there are hundreds of people, with the help of robots, I still have the confidence to manage, and, judging from the attitude of Spred and Ralph, there should not be too many people who oppose it in the end." And—" Zhou Xin sorted out his thoughts and continued, "This is all the personnel of a scientific research base, whether it is for the purpose of copying the warp engine in the future, or for the technological cracking of this civilization. ”

"The ship still has reservations." The Voyager replied, "But the ship will do the rest of the reception." ”

"Well, I'm in trouble with you." Zhou Xin said. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, "Traveler, since we have chosen to take them with us, can this ready-made warp engine in front of us be directly installed on the ship and used?" In fact, this idea has appeared Zhou Xin a long time ago, but he has not yet decided what to do with the people in this base, so Zhou Xin has never dared to say this idea, but now that he has to take people away, this warp engine will not be able to run.

"There are at least two difficulties." The Voyager calmly replied, "First, this engine has been useless for a long time, and it is still a question whether it can start normally; The second is that our technology is different from theirs, even if the engine is intact, it is also a question whether it can be installed on the ship. ”

"So, if we solve these two problems, we have a real warp engine?" Zhou Xin was slightly excited.

"Theoretically, that's true, but this engine has been here for so long, and it's inevitable that there will be problems, so don't get your hopes up, Captain."

"That's enough." Zhou Xin said, "As long as they agree to go together, then the inspection of the engine can start in a while, I hope there will be no big problems with this engine." ”

It was at this time that Chang'e also briefed Spred and Ralph about the Voyager's experience.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ralph said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be a civilization that has just left the home planet, I think your technology level is so low." ”

"Ralph!" Spred shouted angrily, and Ralph immediately fell silent, and then stood there obediently.

"So-" Spred said after a moment of contemplation, "and now you are the captain of the ship?" ”

Zhou Xin's face was black, "I'm the only one who is awake, and the rest of the people are still asleep for some reason." ”

"Ah, sorry, sorry." After a pause, Spred continued, "Captain you, the one who is sober, and the only thing that can work now is the intelligent mechanical creation in front of us. He thought for a moment, "Is this the special reason you mentioned when we first met?" I wondered at the beginning that even if you didn't come down yourself, Captain, you should have sent a life form down, rather than just relying on a tool to communicate with us, but now I can understand it. ”

"I'm sorry to communicate with you this way." Zhou Xin said apologetically, "However, I think the time for us to meet may not be far away." ”

"Huh? What do you mean? Spred was a little confused.

"Now you know our situation, not only the lack of materials, but also the lack of manpower. So now with our capabilities, we can't help you build a spaceship, please understand that. ”

"That's a pity." Spred said in a disappointed tone, and Ralph's eyes darkened.

"But I can't help you build a spaceship, but—" Zhou Xin hesitated for a moment before suggesting a solution, "I would like to invite you to join our fleet and travel with us." ”

"Ah, that's true—it seems that we are the only ones left." Spred was disappointed for a moment, "Huh? Yes! You mean you want us to come with you? After a while, he realized what Zhou Xin had said.

"Ahh Ralph exclaimed, and then she jumped up, "Oh yes, actually, my dad wanted you to take us away, but he was too embarrassed to bring it up." ”

"Ralph!" Spred stopped in embarrassment, then he turned to Chang'e, "Sorry, it's rude." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhou Xin said, "It's that I will lose my temper when I hear the news." ”

"So—" After a while, after Spred had calmed down, Zhou Xin continued to ask, "what do you mean, do you want to come with us?" ”

"Of course, of course." Ralph couldn't wait to say, "We'd love to." ”

Spred said embarrassedly, "Of course there is no problem with this, but we still have to do some preparation work before we go with you." With that, he looked up at the warp engine in front of him.

Zhou Xin followed his gaze and also looked at the engine, hesitated for a while, and said: "Regarding this engine, we also want to take it away, and at the same time, I have an idea." ”

Spred retracted his gaze and said, "Do you want to take this engine away for research?" Okay, too. He sighed, "Rather than putting it here to fall into the dust, I might as well give it to you to study, but it's a pity that this engine hasn't been used a few times." ”

"It's not just research." Zhou Xin scratched his head and continued, "I want you to check this engine to see if this engine can still work, if it does, we want to install it on our ship." ”

"Huh? Oh. After listening to Zhou Xin's explanation, Spred became happy, "Okay, I'll send someone to check the engine in detail immediately." ”

Now it was Zhou Xin's turn to be curious, and he asked, "It seems that you are not opposed to installing engines on our spaceship." ”

"Why object?" Spred said happily, "It's an engine after all, so it would be a shame to leave it alone." And after all, this engine was made by us, just like our children, and now this engine can only be placed here, in fact, I am still very heartbroken. Spred patted the shell of the engine, "Now that this engine has finally found its right place, do you think I'll be happy?" ”

"Makes sense." Zhou Xin agreed, "Then the next inspection of the engine will be handed over to you, and we will also do the preparation work for you to go on the ship." During this time, Chang'e will live in your base as a liaison first. ”

"No problem, welcome."

=Dividing line of time=

In the following week, Zhou Xin was in full swing to make preparations, create an ecological environment suitable for their survival, allocate suitable living space for aliens, and make small daily necessities suitable for them.

"In fact, their ecological environment is similar to ours, and they can directly let them live in this ship, and there is no need to build a suitable ecological environment for them alone." The Voyager suggested.

"I know, but they always have individuals who are not very suitable for our ecological environment, and it is always safe to build one first, and then it will be good to cancel it after they all adapt to the environment inside our ship." Zhou Xin explained.

At the same time as Zhou Xin explained, a communication request came from the communicator. Zhou Xin turned on the communicator, and a familiar face appeared in front of Zhou Xin, "Spred, isn't it communication time now, why do you have time to send me a message?" Has the inspection of the engine been completed? Huh? Why does your face look so strange? ”

"It's not the same researchers." At this time, another face squeezed into the off-screen, this time it was Ralph, but his face was not very good now. "When my father first told them that they were going to follow you, everyone was very happy, and even their efficiency at work has improved a lot, but in the past two days, rumors have spread."

"What a rumor." Zhou has a bad premonition.

"It's not like you took us in just to covet our warp engine, and when the engine is in hand, you just run away." Ralph pouted.

"Ralph." Spred called her a little blamed, and then said to Zhou Xin, "I'm sorry, this kind of thing is our own problem, and we shouldn't bother you." But after thinking about it, I think I should inform you about this matter, but I don't need to trouble you for the rest, we will solve it ourselves. ”

"Is there anything you can do? Need my help? Zhou Xin asked.

Spred was silent.

"Is there any other way to find out the rumor-monger directly." Ralph said angrily, "If I had known who had said it first, I would have to teach him a good lesson." ”

Zhou Xin thought for a while and said: "What can you do if you teach a lesson, this can give them more excuses, and if you want to teach a lesson, you can't teach a lesson, if you two teach that person, it will give those people a feeling that you are colluding with me, presumably this is also what Sprede you scruple about." But if we don't teach us a lesson, if the rumors are allowed to continue, the light blame will affect our cooperation, and at the worst it will erupt into a serious dispute like a refuge. ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what's the solution?" Ralph complained.

"Can you ......?" Spred asked, after a moment's hesitation.

Before Spred finished speaking, Zhou Xin understood, "Alas-I understand, it seems that I can't go down for a trip......"
