Chapter 19: The Higher Beings of Death

After listening to Atlas's report, Zhou Xin hurriedly walked out of the room, wanting to see with his own eyes the condition of the person lying in the device. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It didn't take long for Zhou Xin to come to the room specially modified to open the fusiform device, and after entering the room, Zhou Xin saw that a partition wall stood in front of him, and on the partition wall, there was an obvious window, and there was a person standing next to the window.

Walking near the window, Zhou Xin found that the person standing was Dr. Wren, and now his face was very bad, and he was still saying something inside from time to time.

"Didn't check for a heartbeat-like movement? The circulation of bodily fluids has also stopped? Doesn't respond to external stimuli either? ”

After listening for a while, Zhou Xin found that the questions raised by Ren were all related to his physical condition, but unfortunately, all the answers he got seemed to be bad. Judging by his tone, the situation seems to be very bad.

After asking all the questions related to the body, he found Zhou Xin's figure.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Xin asked.

"There's only one medical officer on board now, where am I here?" Spred said helplessly, and as he said he gave up his place in front of the observation window.

"Is there already a physical examination of that person?" Zhou Xin asked, while walking to the window and looking in, there were not two people standing inside, not outside, many robots were busy inside.

Through the observation window, Zhou Xin saw that the originally complete fusiform device had now been divided into two halves along the longitudinal length, and half of them were gone. In the half he saw, he saw a humanoid creature lying inside, and due to the angle, Zhou Xin couldn't see the specific appearance of the humanoid creature clearly. Surrounding the semi-fusiform device are several medical robots and Atlas-controlled robots, which now appear to be attempting to move the humanoid to the bed next to the fusiform.

Wren nodded, frowned and replied, "The tests that can be done have been done by Atlas a long time ago, and I am just here to confirm the specific situation of that person." ”

"How?" As soon as he talked about the person's physical condition, Zhou Xin's face also turned very bad, although he had heard Atlas's introduction before, but he still confirmed to Wren, "Is it true - there are no signs of life?" ”

Wren nodded heavily, "I've tried any instrument that can detect the state of life, but none of them can respond to that person. If there is no accident - he is indeed dead. His words completely sentenced the man lying in the fusiform device to death.

Having reached the same conclusion from Wren again, Zhou Xin was completely disappointed, and after a moment of silence, he looked back into the observation window. At this time, with the combined efforts of several medical robots, the person lying in the device has been moved to the hospital bed. Then, several engineering robots approached and carried away the remaining half of the fusiform.

After the engineering robot left, Atlas found Zhou Xin standing outside the observation window, and she walked to the observation window, her tone was not the same as usual, but became a little heavy.

"Brother Captain, the person in the device has been rescued as soon as possible, but ......"

"Forget it." Zhou Xin waved his hand, "I can't blame you, have you completed the inspection of that person?" I want to meet him. ”

"Wait a minute, people turn off the environment set up here." Atlas replied, Zhou Xin stood quietly and waited for a while, and after a few minutes, a door opened on the partition wall, and along the open door, Zhou Xin walked in.

Inside, the previously busy medical robots have stopped working, and now they are all on standby, standing quietly by the wall, and a person is lying motionless on the hospital bed in the middle of the room. Around the bed, a large glass cover covers the entire bed, which Atlas had apparently done in the previous few minutes.

"For the sake of the captain's brother's health." Zhou Xin explained as he walked to the hospital bed Atlas, "People haven't checked in detail whether there are deadly microbes on this planet yet, so we can only isolate him for the time being, so as not to cause any danger." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, walked to the side of the glass cover, Zhou Xin looked at the hospital bed, and at this time, he finally saw the appearance of the advanced intelligent life on the planet under his feet.

When viewed from a distance, the appearance of this advanced life was basically similar to that of an ordinary human, except for the difference in height. His height is only about one and a half meters, which is much shorter than Zhou Xin, and his overall body is also thin, but this does not affect the fact that he has a human appearance.

When he got closer, Zhou Xin found that in terms of details, there were really a lot of differences between the high-level life on this planet and humans, the most obvious being his bald head. The alien has no hair on his head, not even eyebrows, and if you look closely, you can see that the exposed parts of his body are also bare, and there is no hair at all.

Of course, aside from the obvious feature of not having hair, there are many ways in which this alien is very different from normal humans. Judging from his appearance alone, his eye distance is much wider than that of a normal person, almost 1.5 times that of an ordinary human, and his eyeballs are also much larger than that of a normal person, and his eye sockets are slightly protruding, which looks a bit like the eyes of a fish. On the other hand, his nose is much smaller, almost half that of a normal person, and he has only one nostril on his nose. Further down is the mouth, which is similar to a human's, just a little smaller. His whole head was large and small, like an inverted cone, and it looked very strange.

Continuing down from the head, it is obvious that the difference is the limbs, this alien's arms are very thin, only about half the length of Zhou Xin. He had a pair of rather large palms, the size of which was slightly smaller than Zhou Xin's, but very large compared to his slender arms. There are only four fingers on each of his hands, which are stubby and short in appearance and almost the same in length, and there are only two knuckles on each finger, which is not at all harmonious compared to the huge palm.

Compared to his heels and hands, although they still look thin, they are very long. It was basically the same length as his upper body, and on his feet Zhou Xin still saw the same four toes as his hands. Unlike normal human stubby toes, this alien has long toes, about the size of his fingers, and still has two knuckles on them, and his toes are clearly open, like claws. Zhou Xin found that there was a thin membranous connection between his toes, which looked like the fins of aquatic creatures.

In addition to these parts seen before, the other parts of the alien lying on the bed were covered with a thin layer of clothing, and the clothes seemed to be one-piece, Zhou Xin did not see seams or anything like that, this one-piece clothing was tightly attached to the alien's body, revealing his full body. Today, the alien is lying motionless on his hospital bed, looking as if he is asleep.

After looking at the alien from head to toe for a while, Zhou Xin shook his head regretfully, and then still asked without giving up, "Is he really not saved?" ”

Wren replied angrily: "The internal organs of the whole body are broken, and more than 80% of the bone structure is comminuted and fractured, if this can be saved, then I will become a god." ”

"Forget it, that's all there is to it." Zhou Xin sighed, and then subconsciously said, "Since he is dead, let's bury him well." ”

"Buried?" Atlas's tone changed a little strangely, "Where to bury it?" And isn't this a valuable sample? Brother Captain, aren't you going to let me study it? Even Wren, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhou Xin with very strange eyes.

At this time, Zhou Xin realized that the person lying in front of him was not an earthling, but an alien. This is the second opportunity that Zhou Xin has encountered since his departure to directly dissect the flesh of a higher life, he has indeed seen the corpse of a thunderstar person when he was in the underground base of Thunder Star before, but Zhou Xin did not think of dissecting the corpse at all, and this idea is even more impossible after meeting Spred and them. Now, Atlas mentioned this problem, which made Zhou Xin's heart hesitate, if it was an autopsy, he should be able to get a lot of information related to this civilization from this corpse, but from an ethical point of view, Zhou Xin, who is also a higher creature, didn't want this alien to lie on the research table like an object for people to study, and he suddenly felt a little dilemma.

After hesitating for a long time under the gaze of Atlas and Wren, Zhou Xin still made a decision, "Okay, you guys should study this alien's corpse." But—" he reminded, "remember to return to the way it was when we're done researching, and maybe we'll have to give it back to the civilizations of this planet when we communicate with them later." In his heart, he still couldn't accept that this alien was being dismantled like a machine.

"Brother Captain, don't worry, I promise it will be exactly the same as the original." Atlas manipulated the robot and patted his chest.

Next, Zhou Xin left the room, and the research on the alien corpse was handed over to Atlas and Wren, and it was impossible for him to stay here and watch the alien being dissected with his own eyes.

Returning to the command module, the Voyager reported to Zhou Xin about the surveillance of the probe for a night, and while Zhou Xin was sleeping, the civilization on the planet did not settle down, and they continued to launch the vehicle into orbit. And not long ago, people on the triangular continent also launched a large spacecraft into orbit, and Zhou Xin saw the appearance of this newly launched spacecraft in the lens of the probe.

At the first glance of this spaceship, only three words flashed in Zhou Xin's mind - triangle, and from the top of it, the shape of this spaceship is roughly like a triangle. According to the probe's estimates, it is about 100 meters long, although this does not seem to be long, but the wingspan of the spacecraft is more than 200 meters, and the rear half of the spacecraft has a triangular notch that is concave inward, and on both sides of the notch are symmetrically mounted two columnar objects on the left and right, which appear to be the engines of the ship. After staring at the spaceship on the screen for a while, Zhou Xin suddenly remembered a more accurate adjective - Boomerang - the shape of this spaceship looks exactly like Boomerang .

After looking at it for a while, Zhou Xin asked, "Did you find anything abnormal after this spaceship appeared?" ”

"After the spaceship appeared, it moved directly towards the equator of the planet, and the forces on the other side of the planet also mobilized two spacecraft to the equator after discovering the movement of the spaceship. In the area near the equator, the three ships confronted each other for a while before retreating, and now the spaceship on the screen is on its way back to the mainland. The Voyager reported.

"Has the confrontation between the two sides begun to escalate?" Zhou Xin said to himself, "But why did this happen inexplicably? Is it because of the shuttle? What kind of secrets are hidden in the aircraft that can cause disputes between the two forces on the planet? After thinking for a while, Zhou Xin suddenly realized that he seemed to be missing something, and after a while, he finally remembered, "By the way, what about the third force?" If the two major forces can make such a big move, then the third force can't be indifferent. Where are they, are they observing the situation from the dark? ”

"Something is watching the situation from the dark." That's when Dart walked in.

"That's right." Zhou Xin briefly explained the situation on the planet to Dart.

After listening to Zhou Xin's introduction and his later analysis, Spred also fell into deep thought, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Zhou Xin, "I don't think just one flying machine can cause such a big movement." ”

"That makes sense." Zhou Xin replied, and then he showed a puzzled look, "Then what is the situation with them now, looking at this posture, it seems that a big war is going to break out next." ”

"Who knows?" Dart spread his hands, "Anyway, their war has nothing to do with us, and the most we can do is observe here." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, did not take Dart's words, but looked at the spaceship that was still flying on the screen. It wasn't long before Atlas's voice rang out in the command module.

"Brother Captain, someone remembered something."

Zhou Xin came back to his senses from his daze, "Atlas? Was the inspection done so quickly? What's the matter? ”

"It's early, it's just getting started." Atlas replied, "That's another question that comes to mind." Then she asked, "Brother Captain, what are we going to do with the five fusiform devices......
