Chapter 14 Contact Signals
"What are they trying to do?" After seeing the strange device, Zhou Xin asked suspiciously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, no one answered the question at this time, and everyone in the command module watched with curiosity the movements of those people. After a few more moments, the other party seemed to have finished debugging the strange device, and everyone gathered from all sides of the device to one side. Since the device was blocking most of the people now, Zhou Xin didn't know what they were doing.
However, a few seconds later, Atlas sensed something unusual, and she spoke, "Brother Captain, the probe has detected a strange signal emitting from that device, and they are interpreting it. After a few minutes, the little girl shook her head and said in a frustrated tone, "The signal itself is not encrypted, but there is still no way to analyze anything meaningful from it." After a while she added, "The waveform of the signal looks familiar, but people can be sure that it is not used for regular communications." ”
"Maybe this is the special way of communication between civilizations here." Zhou Xin guessed, and then he asked, "Is it really impossible to see anything from the signal?" ”
"If it's not a regular means of communication, people have to use more sophisticated methods to analyze it." Atlas replied, "It will take some time. Coupled with the fact that people don't have a sample of their language or script to compare with at all, it's even more difficult, and it may not be possible to analyze the wrong results. Then she added, "People want us to be able to send contact signals to each other on all channels, maybe they can rely on our signals to communicate with us more quickly." ”
"Yes." Zhou Xin agreed, "Whether we contact each other first or the other party contacts us first, as long as we can establish communication smoothly, it is a good thing." ”
For the next nearly an hour, the "exchange" between the two sides took place in such a calm and strange atmosphere. In the sky, bounded by a three-kilometer range, the teardrop-shaped vehicle was outside, and the probe was quietly facing each other inside. In the case that the other party did not make drastic moves, the detector naturally did not take any action, but just stayed within the scope of its own regulations. As for the battle robots around the Voyager on the ground, they didn't move, they were like sculptures, standing there in the same position since they were assembled. At the same time, the device set up near the landing sites of several aircraft was constantly sending signals in the direction of the Voyager, and according to Atlas's observations, the strength of the signal had been increasing since the beginning. However, the ever-increasing signals had no effect, and the little girl still couldn't understand the meaning of any of them.
While the other party was constantly sending signals, Zhou Xin was also observing the people gathered there. He could often see someone in the crowd suddenly turn their head to look at another person, and the person he was looking at seemed to be telepathically turning his head towards the other person at about the same time. After the eye contact continues for a while, the latter can be seen nodding and then going to fetch something or something for the former. During the whole process, there was no movement in the mouths of those two people, not even facial expressions or body movements. It's almost exactly the same as the image sent back by the previous probe, and it looks very weird.
"It's strange, can't it really be telepathic?" After reading it for a long time, Zhou Xin couldn't help but say what he thought in his heart.
Hearing this, Dart frowned slightly, while Spred showed a puzzled expression.
"Telepathy." Atlas gave an answer that surprised Zhou Xin, "The old grandfathers seem to have been studying this for a while." But her next detailed explanation made Zhou Xin a little disappointed, "I won't go into details, the final research results of the old grandfathers are: telepathy is possible, but this method cannot be used to transmit complex information, it can only be used for the transmission of simple information such as or not, and it must be under extremely strict specific conditions." ”
"In other words, it can't be telepathic."
"If this civilization uses telepathy as a means of aiding communication, people might believe it. If it were entirely telepathic. The little girl shook her head, "IMHO, it's not very likely. ”
While talking, the surrounding situation changed somewhat. This time the change did not appear in the air, but on the ground.
Without Atlas's prompt, Zhou Xin, who had been focusing his eyes on the screen, also noticed something strange in the distance. Just behind the landing site, a long stretch of distant horizon suddenly billowed yellow smoke. As the yellow smoke slowly approached the Voyager, Zhou Xin and the others gradually saw the objects hidden in the yellow smoke.
The length of those objects is about ten meters, and the width is three or four meters, which is basically the same as a truck. The entire object is arcing towards the Voyager, and at the other end is a cylindrical-like torso, like a recumbent bullet with a flattened bottom. Of course, this only refers to their main parts, and on either side of the different objects are mounted additional devices of different shapes that appear to have different functions. It is worth mentioning that these objects do not have wheels underneath them, but are suspended on the ground, so that the way they move forward is self-evident.
In the picture, the hovercars at the front are traveling at a very fast speed to the next to the aircraft that have landed on the ground. A large number of hovercars followed behind them, using this distance as a benchmark, scattered along the left and right, faintly semi-encircling the Voyager. Then, the hovercars began to stop on the ground one after another. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that after stopping, the parts mounted on the hovering body start to move slowly on the body. After a few minutes, the other side pointed a number of tubular objects that looked very much like weapons in the direction of the Voyager.
"What are they trying to do?" Seeing the other party's actions, Zhou Xin couldn't help but get nervous again. At the same time as those hovercars were deployed, more than a dozen people walked out of the several hovercars parked around the aircraft......
