After listening to Atlas's explanation, Zhou Xin was even more convinced of the thoughts in his heart. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info then he explained his thoughts to everyone.

After listening to Zhou Xin's statement, everyone present agreed after a little thought, because whether it was the Thunder Star or the Atlanteans, there had been such a period of factional division in their history. Next, the group made some guesses about the civilization that the system was about to face based on the existing clues, and after the engineering robot extracted all the information from the second man-made object, the Voyager continued to set off.

With these two examples, Zhou Xin asked the Voyager to reduce the speed of its flight, hoping to find more man-made objects, but this time his luck was obviously not so good, and the Voyager flew at the edge of this star system for three full days, until they saw the outermost planet, and Atlas found no sign of a third man-made object.

"Your Excellency, this ship is about to arrive at the outermost planet in this star system, what are your orders?" On the evening of the third day, the Voyager reported to Zhou Xin.

"Let's stop around this planet for a moment and wait until we have a detailed survey of this galaxy before moving on." Zhou Xin commanded, since he had already discovered the signs of advanced civilization in this star system, in order not to disturb them, Zhou Xin had already arranged the next action in his mind on the day he discovered the man-made object.

"Understood." Just as Zhou Xin gave the order, the Voyager began to slow down, changed direction slightly, and the spaceship flew towards the outermost planet of the star system.

When the surface of the planet appeared on the screen, everyone was surprised to find that the planet that was originally thought to be a gas giant was actually a rock planet. The diameter of this planet is more than five times that of the earth, most of the surface of the planet is also covered with a thick layer of white material, only the area around the equatorial part of the planet is bare with a small amount of rocks, Zhou Xin They spent a few days on the planet for a preliminary investigation, they found that this planet is no different from other rock planets except for a relatively large rock planet, most of the rock planets have the properties of it. What's a little special is that this planet is a little less dense, but not as dense as the previous silicon star, only about two-thirds of the density of the Earth.

In the process of investigating the planet, the probe launched by Voyager also found several artificial satellites in the orbit of the planet. It seems that the civilization in this galaxy has also begun to explore the planet, and without being discovered by these artificial satellites, Zhou Xin asked the Voyager to send robots to conduct a detailed exploration of them. Unlike the two previously discovered man-made objects, these satellites do not store much data, and the only remaining data is the surface of the planet under the feet of Voyager. The clarity of these photos is not very high, and it is not at all comparable to the level of the probes on the Voyager, which shows that although this civilization in the star system can already explore other planets, the level of technology is not very high.

However, while no useful clues were found from the data stored on the satellites, Atlas and Voyager analyzed something useful from their shape and the systems they used.

A total of five artificial satellites have been discovered in the orbit of this planet, three of which are similar in shape to the first man-made object discovered by Atlas, all of which are based on a regular tetrahedron as the main structure, and some other accessories are installed around the tetrahedron for detection. The remaining two satellites, one of which is similar to the man-made object discovered by Atlas for the second time, with a cylinder and a shell covered with dense solar panels, will not have any objection to its ownership. The strangest thing is the last artificial satellite, its shape is not the same as the previous two, it is actually spherical, if you look closely, this spherical shape is a little irregular, there is an obvious depression in one of the places, the two sides of this satellite are also connected to two solar panels, but the shape of these two solar panels is not square or round, the left and right are not very symmetrical, and one of the panels has abnormal twisting, it looks like it was picked up from the garbage heap.

Seeing this strangely shaped artificial satellite, Zhou Xin was curious, and even Atlas couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and gave priority to a detailed investigation of this artificial satellite that did not look like a normal satellite.

"Brother Captain, this satellite is really weird." The Voyager inspected and reported the situation to Zhou Xin, "Not to mention the strange shape of its solar panels, even the shell is very strange. ”

"Oh?"

"There are obvious traces of splicing on the shell of this artificial satellite, and traces of residual solar panels have been found on the regular side of the sphere. On the slightly recessed side, there was nothing bare, but it was found that the side seemed to be originally a flat surface, and then forcibly twisted into an arc, and there were obvious marks of beating on this side. Moreover, between these two shells, they are actually connected together with ordinary rivets. Atlas said in detail, showing the satellite on the screen as he spoke.

Listening to Atlas's description, Zhou Xin also felt confused, he really couldn't imagine how this obviously defective satellite was launched into space, just as Zhou Xin was thinking, Atlas had already opened the artificial satellite and saw the situation inside.

"What are these things?" As soon as he turned on the satellite, Atlas exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Atlas's cry brought Zhou Xin back to his senses, and he asked with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Captain, let's take a look at what is in here." As he spoke, a picture of the interior of the Sputnik appeared on the screen.

When the picture just appeared, Zhou Xin was also surprised, he saw that the interior of this satellite was completely a mess, and various colorful pipelines were completely entangled, and some pipelines were obviously connected with tape. In addition, the various components inside are also new and old, the fonts printed on the new components are still clearly visible, and the old ones, the shell has more or less wear, the light ones are just the handwriting is difficult to distinguish, and the fonts with serious wear have completely disappeared, and there are deep scratches on the shell.

"Are you sure this is the inside of that satellite, and not a random scrapped robot to fool me?" Zhou Xin had an expression of disbelief.

"There will be such new components on the scrapped robots." The little girl pursed her lips, "This is the inside of that satellite, it's genuine, and it's not a deception." As he spoke, the screen shrunk, and Zhou Xin saw the full picture of the turned on satellite.

"......" Zhou Xin looked at the screen a little speechlessly, he thought for a moment and asked, "Atlas, are you sure this thing can still be used?" It won't be a scrapped satellite. ”

"At least when people found it, it was still emitting a faint signal." Atlas replied, "As for whether it can be used now—" she spread her hands, "It seems that it really is." As she spoke, she reconnected the satellite to power. Zhou Xin saw that the inside of the satellite displayed on the screen began to emit a faint light, and some things that looked like a display screen also lit up, and various information began to be displayed on it, at this time, Atlas screamed strangely.

"Huh?" After a few seconds of silence, she shouted again, "Brother Captain, Brother Captain, these elements seem to have been dismantled from different places and put together!" ”

"I can see that, too." Zhou Xin held his forehead.

"No, no, no." The little girl shook her hand again and again, "I mean that the elements in this are from the two different forces you analyzed. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhou Xin became interested, and he motioned for Atlas to continue.

"In the information displayed on these screens, people see familiar words." The little girl conjured up the familiar baton in her hand, and she pointed to one of the displays inside the satellite and said, "This device should come from the same force that made the tetrahedral satellite, and these characters have also been seen on the previous artificial satellite." Then she pointed to another adjacent display and said, "This device is another force's." Then, she pointed out to Zhou Xin on the screen the components that she could identify belonging to the two forces, and the rest were so worn out that even Atlas couldn't recognize them.

Zhou Xin thought silently as he watched Atlas introduce on the screen. After Atlas finished his introduction, he found that the components that might have been made by the two forces were basically installed in a haphazard manner, with no pattern at all. Some places are filled with tetrahedral elements, while others are left alone in one corner of the board, and others are cylindrical elements.

In order to make it easier to identify, Atlas deliberately marked the elements belonging to the two forces with different colors, and Zhou Xin felt incomprehensible looking at the colors mixed on the screen. Atlas had previously introduced him to the situation of the first two artificial satellites, and the manufacturing principles of the same functional elements on the two satellites could be said to be completely different, and there was no possibility of universalization, so he felt incredible why this satellite could still operate normally until now.

At this time, the accident happened, Zhou Xin saw a small and bright blue arc shining on the inferior circuit board that could see obvious cracks, and at the same time, Atlas exclaimed.

"Oops!" As soon as she finished speaking, the components near the position of the blue arc that shone on the circuit board began to slowly turn black, and a wisp of green smoke rose from the blackened position of the components, and the display or lights in other locations began to go out randomly, and in less than a minute, all the light inside the strange artificial satellite was extinguished, and the satellite stopped working completely.

The little girl on the screen and Zhou Xin looked at each other for a moment, and then Atlas scratched his head, "It seems to be—overcharged." ”

"......" Zhou Xin looked at the screen speechlessly for a while, looking at the satellite that didn't look like it could operate in the first place, but now it was completely damaged, he subconsciously asked, "Can you fix it?" ”

The little girl showed an embarrassed expression, she also looked at the damaged satellite, and said hesitantly: "This - brother captain - or we will build a new one and return it to them, if you want to repair this tattered thing, it is better to replace it with a new one." ”

"Is all the data in it recorded?" At this time, Zhou Xin thought of an important question, "Whether to repair this thing or not is secondary, what is recorded in it is important, if I guess correctly, this satellite should belong to the third force." ”

"It's been recorded for a long time." Atlas replied, "There is a lot less data recorded here than the previous satellites, but the data is so messy that people don't know what it means for the time being." ”

Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Atlas had recorded all the data, and he asked Atlas: "Have you continued to simulate the signal of this satellite?" ”

"Of course, people have been camouflaging its signals all along." The little girl had a natural expression.

Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Try to repair it, if you really can't repair it, don't make a new one, it's easy to show the stuffing, disguise an accident and let it disconnect from that civilization." ”

"Okay-" Seeing that Zhou Xin didn't blame himself, Atlas's originally somewhat cowering tone suddenly became happy.

After instructing Atlas, Zhou Xin said to Dart and Spred, who were sitting in the command module: "It seems that there seems to be a third force in this civilization, and the technological level of this force should be much worse than the other two, otherwise it is impossible that even things like satellites need to be assembled with parts of the other two forces, and the parts on a satellite are still mixed." ”

Spred and Dart looked at each other, then nodded at the same time......
