Chapter 21 Severely Damaged Wreckage
"Leave the robot alone, the engineering ship took off urgently. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Seeing this, Zhou Xin hurriedly ordered.
Just as the wreckage of the planetary vehicle was lifted out of the ice crack, the engineering ship was already charging. After Zhou Xin's order was issued, the main engine of the engineering ship immediately reacted.
"Start the emergency take-off procedure, ignore the inspection steps, ignore the safety procedure, change the necessary inspection before take-off to perform after take-off, complete the engine charge, take off." The main engine of the engineering ship reported the command to take off in just a few seconds, and at this time, the weapon platform on the ground was a few meters away from the engineering ship, and the engineering ship began to be attacked by lasers. However, fortunately, the armor of the engineering ship is much thicker than that of the robot, so the laser hitting the engineering ship can only ablate some pits on the shell, and cannot cause serious damage to the hull.
Zhou Xin: They saw on the screen that the engineering ship began to take off slowly against a large number of laser attacks. When the engineering ship had just taken off, Zhou Xin was most worried about the engine being hit by a laser and shutting down, but this accident did not happen. In less than a minute, the engineering ship had successfully risen to the sky a hundred meters above the ground, but even in this place, the weapon platforms on the ground still did not give up the attack, and they even began to concentrate their fire to break the armor of the engineering ship from one click, but this intention was seen through, and the engineering ship avoided this fierce attack by slightly deflecting one direction. Seeing that the attack did not work, the controller of the weapon platform gave up his intention to continue the attack. From the satellite perspective, it can be seen that the weapon platforms began to scatter and retreat, and just as they retreated to about a kilometer from the take-off site of the engineering ship, the number of weapon platforms actually began to gradually decrease. Within ten minutes, those weapon platforms completely lost their sight from the satellite's field of view, as if they had not appeared in the first place.
"How the hell did they appear?" Seeing that the engineering ship was safe for the time being, Zhou Xin finally had time to think about other issues. Zhou Xin began to think about this problem from the early morning when the probe was attacked in various parts of the planet, but since the appearance of those weapon platforms had not been directly photographed, Zhou Xin was still puzzled until now. Now that he finally had time, Zhou Xin asked Christy this question.
"I don't know." Christy on the screen was also confused, and she replied confusedly, "We don't see this kind of combat machine very often in the base, so we don't know much about how it works." Andβ" she glanced at Zhou Xin, "even if I knew how it worked, do you think I'd tell you something so important?" β
"......" was choked, Zhou Xin felt a little embarrassed, and he decisively changed the topic, "But it's good to have you, otherwise this mission will definitely fail." β
Seeing Zhou Xin mention this mission, Christy was finally distracted, "Just now I seemed to see on the screen that you were recovering something, what made you send so many robots, and it caused such a fierce battle." I didn't think much of it in my hurry just now, but now that I think about it, it seems that I was helping you deal with my people. Although it is said to be a driverless model, if you don't give a good reason, hum. Christy threatened with a fierce look.
"Do you think I'm going to tell you something so important?" Zhou Xin replied with the same sentence. After hearing this, Christy's face changed instantly. Just as Zhou Xin was about to tell her that it was a joke, the communication was cut off.
Now it was Zhou Xin's turn to change, and he looked at Spred next to him embarrassedly, "I just wanted to tease her, now this-"
Looking at Zhou Xin's hopeful gaze, Spred understood his thoughts. Spred decisively refused: "Don't, you can solve what you do by yourself, don't think about letting me explain." With that, he turned his head and went about his work.
Zhou Xin hurriedly turned his perspective to the other people in the command cabin, but they were either busy with their own work, or they turned their heads to pretend that they were working when Zhou Xin's eyes turned to him, and Zhou Xin was even more embarrassed.
Just when Zhou Xin couldn't find a savior and wanted to leave the command cabin to avoid the limelight, the door of the command cabin was opened, and Zhou Xin saw that there was an angry Christy standing at the door, followed by a sad Ralph with a sad face.
Ralph spread his hands at Zhou Xin and made a helpless expression, while Christy walked straight in front of Zhou Xin. Looking at her angry expression, Zhou Xin subconsciously took a step back, but it was useless, Christy walked in front of Zhou Xin in a few steps. Looking at his angry expression, Zhou Xin had no choice but to wait for the storm to come.
However, to Zhou Xin's surprise, the angry Christy did not start to teach herself a lesson after walking in front of him, she looked at Zhou Xin for a while, and then her eyes flashed with tears. After a while, tears welled up in her eyes.
Zhou Xin, who was originally prepared, immediately panicked, and he hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have made such a joke with you, don't cry, okay, if you want to beat or scold me." His tone was very sincere. But Christy ignored him, and just stood in front of him and suffered.
After crying for a long time, Ralph finally came over to relieve the siege, "Sister Christie, forget it, Uncle Captain just wanted to joke with you, and now that he has admitted his mistake, you should forgive him." β
Christy sobbed, "I was brought here for no reason, and I helped you deal with my people, but you didn't even tell me a reason. As she spoke, she began to cry again.
"Don't cry yet." Zhou Xin said with a headache, "It's just a joke." Seeing that Christy showed no signs of stopping, he had no choice but to say helplessly, "Okay, I'll tell you the reason now, don't cry yet, okay." β
Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Christy stopped crying all of a sudden, and even the expression on her face changed to curiosity, and then she urged: "What is the reason, tell me quickly." β
At this time, Zhou Xin finally reacted, he smiled bitterly and said: "You pretended to be emotional, just to let me tell the reason." β
At this time, Christy also found out that she was exposed, but she still forcibly explained: "Where is it pretended, I really cried." As she spoke, she also showed a sincere expression to Zhou Xin.
"Alright, alright." Zhou Xin waved his hand and said helplessly, "Whether you pretend or not, I just say it." Then he told Christy what had happened.
After listening to Zhou Xin's explanation, Christy breathed a sigh of relief, and she glanced at Zhou Xin, "Since this is the reason, then you should have said it earlier." I really thought you were going to do us badly, and I regretted it a little after giving you the identification signal. Since you're here to help me get in touch with the base, then I'll forgive you. β
"Hey, hey." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "It seems that we are bullying you, in the battle just now, it is us who have suffered more losses." In total, more than 200 robots of all kinds were destroyed by you, and by the way, there was also a lifting device. And what about you, I don't expect the loss to be more than a hundred. With such a huge contrast, do you think we have the ability to disadvantage your civilization? β
Christy tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Seems to make sense." After a pause, she added, "But we still have losses, so it's still very disadvantageous." β
"......" Zhou Xin decisively ignored Christy's crooked reasoning, "Okay, now that this matter is over for the time being, the next thing is to wait for your mother's planet car to be transported up for inspection." Speaking of this, Zhou Xin's voice deepened, "I hope there is no problem with the communication module of this planetary vehicleβ"
After waiting for more than two hours in anxiety, Zhou Xin finally received the news that the engineering ship had returned to the Voyager, and Zhou Xin, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried to the dock where the engineering ship was moored. After arriving at the dock, Zhou Xin happened to see the engineering robot transporting the wreckage of the planetary vehicle out of the engineering ship. Glancing at the wreckage hanging on the crane, Zhou Xin couldn't help but be worried.
The wreckage was completely unrecognizable in the car, and the various supporting components were now ****** screwed together, and the whole wreck looked like a ball of yarn tangled together. The wreckage slowly swayed as the crane's boom moved, and every now and then some small pieces fell through the cracks in the planet rover.
"Is the damage so bad?" Zhou Xin muttered to himself, his tone was worried, "The communication module inside won't be like this." β
"Probably not." Christie's voice came from behind, after listening to Zhou Xin's previous explanation, she was also very concerned about this matter, and after learning the news, she came directly from the medical cabin, of course, it was Ralph who led the way for her, she said with an uncertain tone: "There is a layer of structure on the outside of the communication module and other core modules, even if the outside is seriously damaged, this layer of structure inside will also protect the safety of the core module." β
Zhou Xin stretched out his finger and pointed to the spherical wreckage, "Do you mean this by serious injury?" There was a palpable disbelief in his eyes.
"Thisβ" Christie's voice lowered, "alsoβforget it." β
As he spoke, the wreckage of the planet car had been placed on the floor, and looking at the wreckage of this mass, Zhou Xin subconsciously asked, "What should I do next?" β
"Of course, I want to remove the communication module." Christy replied without thinking.
"How to dismantle?" Zhou Xin asked rhetorically, "Can you still find the specific location of the communication module in this thing?" After thinking about it, he continued, "Let's transport it to the place where the planetary car was parked before, and this wreckage can only be completely dismantled." Then, he called a passing engineering robot and gave him an order, and after the order was given, he also instructed, "Remember to be careful when dismantling, don't cause any more damage to the wreckage." β
As a result, the wreckage, which had just been parked on the ground for a short time, was once again lifted up by the crane. Looking at the wreckage moving in the air, Christy hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you helping me so much, you have lost so many robots for this, is it worth it for you?" β
"Why help you, does this need a reason?" Zhou Xin asked strangely, "You should have seen my experience on the Thunder Star before, did I gain anything from helping them at the beginning?" No, I want to help them just because I want to help them. Of course, we did get a warp engine in the end. Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed when he said this, he paused for a moment and continued, "Not to mention that you are compatriots from the same planet as us, and besides, it is also beneficial for us to help us connect with your base." β
"You're such a nice guy." Christy said heartily, and then she asked curiously, "Why do you want to contact our base?" With the current situation at our base, it seems that it shouldn't help you much. β
"Liaison is our purpose." Zhou Xin explained, "The purpose of our trip is to explore the unknown world and communicate with all friendly civilizations. Moreover, you were once a civilization on Earth, and through your understanding, we can also obtain some more accurate information about the past Earth. For example, on the previous planet, we have a more detailed understanding of the age of dinosaurs, but how did you do it, it is a whole planet, you have the ability to transform into the ancient times, and how did you get so much information about the ecological environment? Speaking of this, Zhou Xin looked curious.
"I don't know." Christy was also full of doubts, "According to our historical records, our base and the main fleet have completely lost contact with the main fleet as early as more than 4,000 years ago in the earth calendar, and we don't know what they are doing in other places, and I am already the fifth generation born after leaving the earth, although the detailed records of the ancestors exist in our database, but I don't have time to read such a long history." β
"Fifth generation?!" After listening to Christy's words, Zhou Xin was surprised, "So the life span of Atlanteans is more than a thousand years?!" β
"Aren't you like that?" Christy was also surprised, "With our technology, it's easy to live to be more than a thousand years old, and there is an elder in our base who is more than fifteen hundred years old." β
"However, with the development of our technology, we will not live longer than 200 years at most." Zhou Xin replied in disbelief.
"It's so short!" Christy blurted out without thinking......
