After listening to Dart's explanation, Zhou Xin suddenly understood. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"How are the Atlanteans doing?" He then asked.

Speaking of this, Dart became happy, "Thanks to you, everyone has adapted to life on the ship. Although the scope of activity is much smaller than in the base before, many people are now full of longing for the future life, at least we don't have to stay on that barren planet, but-" At this point, his voice fell, "although they are full of hope, their emotions are still not very high because many people stay in the base. ”

Zhou Xin didn't have any good ways to deal with this problem, so he had to listen to Dart quietly.

"That's why I want to have a big festival in three days." Dart continued.

"There's nothing wrong with that." Zhou Xin nodded, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"No need." Dart shook his head, "The preparation process is also part of the Grand Festival, and when the time comes, you just need to be able to attend our Grand Festival." ”

"Well, I'll come with them then." Zhou Xin nodded, and then he began to say the purpose of finding Dart.

After hearing Zhou Xin's words about the trouble with the Voyager, Dart frowned, "Do you have to be in such a hurry to find Atlas?" Can't you wait a few more days? ”

"So you have a way to reach her?" Zhou Xin asked, "It's not that I don't want to wait, but I can't afford to wait, we don't know anything about hyperspace, and those researchers of yours don't provide us with information about hyperspace, so we have always felt uneasy about this place, plus the current state of the Voyager, I'm really worried about what will happen in hyperspace." ”

"It's not that I don't want to give, it's that I can't give it." Dart was also helpless, "In our generation, the study of hyperspace is limited to theory. ”

"Theoretically, it's okay." Zhou Xin interrupted, "At least it can deepen our understanding of hyperspace. ”

"But unfortunately, even this part of the data is stored in the host." Dart spread his hands, but Tarst didn't bring any information with them.

"How so?" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "How can you not bring any information with you." ”

"It's not that you don't have to bring it, but it's not necessary." Dart replied, "There is only one copy of these materials Atlas, if we have any questions, we can just ask her, but she is ...... like this now" He made a helpless expression at Zhou Xin.

"Then when will she recover." Zhou Xin frowned and asked, "Didn't you say before that it would only take two or three days, but why is it still like this after so long?" ”

"I don't know." Dart shook his head, "In the past, it did take her only two or three days to recover when other people died, but this time maybe it's because there are so many people, or maybe the dean is among them." ”

"How's that going to work?" Zhou Xin was a little anxious, "In this case, if it took Atlas half a year to recover, then we would have to wait so long?" The makeshift patched Voyager doesn't know if it will last that long in hyperspace. ”

"If there's really no way, then I'll have to wake her up."

"Huh? Are you calling me? At this time, a familiar little girl's voice came from Zhou Xin's pocket.

Hearing this voice, Zhou Xin didn't react for a while, and after a while, the voice rang out from Zhou Xin's pocket again, "Aren't you calling me?" Why do you ignore people again? ”

At this time, Zhou Xin finally reacted, he hurriedly took the communicator out of his pocket, and after holding the communicator in his hand, she saw a familiar little girl appear on the screen of the communicator, it was not Atlas.

Seeing Atlas's familiar figure, Zhou Xin subconsciously asked with human thinking: "Atlas, you recover." ”

"yes, we're looking for you." Before Zhou Xin could finish speaking, Dart interrupted him.

"Just ask if there's anything, people know everything and can do anything." Atlas said with a smug tone.

Seeing that Atlas's mood didn't seem to be as low as before, Zhou Xin felt very strange. However, because he had been interrupted by Dart before, Zhou Xin felt a little weird, so he didn't say this doubt.

"Alright." Dart secretly gave Zhou Xin a look, "Captain, you can ask." ”

Although he was puzzled, Zhou Xin still asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment, "Atlas, do you know anything about that hyperspace device in the Frozen Planet base?" Know where the hyperspace setting is going? How long will it be before we get out of this space? ”

"Thisβ€”" The little girl on the screen sat down with a thoughtful expression, "Is that hyperspace device on the planet?" It's been a long time since I've mentioned it, so let me think about it. After a few seconds, the little girl clapped her palms, "I remember, the destination of that hyperspace deviceβ€”" She looked up, her eyes flashing with a sly light, "If you promise me a request, I'll tell you." ”

Hearing that Atlas seemed to know the destination of the hyperspace device, Zhou Xin and Dart both listened attentively to Atlas's next answer, but her next words made the two of them cry and laugh. There was no way, Zhou Xin had to patiently soothe: "What do you want, say it first." ”

"It's a simple request." Atlas said, "Give me a robot, I'm going to go out and stay here all day and die of boredom." ”

Hearing that it was this request, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and he said casually: "No problem, I'll give you one in a while, now you can say it." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's promise, Atraston became happy, "Oh yes! Brother Captain, you are such a good person. Then she began to answer the previous question, "The destination isβ€”I don't know." ”

"......" Zhou Xin and Dart looked at each other speechlessly, and Dart said, "Atlas, don't be kidding, be serious, where is our destination?" ”

"People really don't know." Atlas said a little aggrieved.

"How is that possible, Dean Pryt told me that you know the destination set by the hyperspace device." Dart said with certainty.

"People really don't know." Atlas continued, "Back then, Grandpa Gurans didn't tell me after he set a goal, although people wanted to know, but what if he made Grandpa Gurans unhappy. ”

"Want to know?" Zhou Xin heard what she meant, "If you want to know, you can still know?" ”

"Of course." Atlas said proudly, "The location information is in someone's memory bank, butβ€”" Her voice fell, and people didn't want to make Grandpa Gurans angry, so they didn't dare to look at it.

"It's impossible not to see it completely." Zhou Xin was suspicious, "Didn't Commander Gurans tell you what method you had to use to see it?" ”

"Yes, I did." The little girl nodded, "But they didn't understand." She bowed her head, "Grandpa Gurans told me that if anyone wanted to know, he would appear in front of me with the key." ”

"Keys?" Dart repeated with some surprise when he heard Atlas's words, "Is it-?" ”

"How?" Do you know what the key is? Zhou Xin asked suspiciously.

Dart didn't answer, he began to pick it up around his neck, and after a while, he took out a necklace from his clothes, Zhou Xin looked at it, there was a pendant hanging on this necklace, and the shape of the pendant was actually similar to the outline map of Daxi Continent that he had seen before, the only difference was that there were some Atlantean characters written in the middle of the outline that Zhou Xin couldn't understand.

Dart put the pendant on the palm of his hand, and Zhou Xin looked at it carefully for a while, "What is this?" He asked curiously.

Before he could finish speaking, the communicator in his hand changed at the same time that he didn't see it.

Atlas on the screen lost her previous vitality the moment she saw the necklace, and then, her tone began to become serious, "The existence of the key has been detected, and the Atlas AI has been converted to semi-intelligent mode, honorable commander, what are your orders?" ”

The sudden change surprised both of them, Zhou Xin hurriedly put the communicator in his hand on the table, and the two of them looked towards the screen of the communicator. Then, they saw the little girl on the screen standing there straight, with a serious expression on her face that was not appropriate for her age.

Seeing the strange changes in Atlas, Zhou Xin and Dart glanced at each other suspiciously, and then Zhou Xin asked curiously, "Atlas?" ”

"Warning, the questioner has been detected to have no access to the machine, please provide the permissions of the questioner, otherwise the machine is about to be locked." The little girl replied solemnly.

"Thisβ€”" Zhou Xin glanced at Dart suspiciously, and then motioned for him to ask a question.

"You're Atlas?" Dart asked.

"The questioner's identity has been confirmed: Dart, the next dean, has full read and write access to the machine. Please set the permissions of the previous questioner, otherwise, the machine will not answer any questions if there are visitors who do not meet the access conditions. ”

Hearing this, Dart glanced at Zhou Xin hesitantly.

"Do you need me out?" Zhou Xin asked understandingly.

Dart shook his head and spoke, "Let him have the same privileges as me." ”

"The order is illegal and cannot be executed." Atlas refused, "Only the Dean and the next Dean can have the highest authority, except for these two, no one else can be set to have the same authority as you." Atlas dismissed Dart's instructions, "Please reset the permissions of the previous questioner, or the machine will refuse to answer any questions." ”

Dart glanced at Zhou Xin, then hesitated, "Set the captain to have access permissions." ”

"Set the previous questioner to have access permissions." Atlas repeated, "Now that the permissions are set, what's the problem with the two of you?" ”

"You're Atlas?" Dart started asking questions.

"This machine is Atlas's secret database access program, and it can be said that this machine is Atlas without an emotional module." Atlas replied emotionlessly.

"Secret database access program?" Dart looked puzzled, "How did I not know there was such a thing?" ”

"This is a feature of the native discovered by the original Atlanteans." Atlas reports, "Only by using a special method can the machine enter a secret database access mode, in which the machine can answer anything stored in the secret database." ”

"What is the secret database?" Zhou Xin asked.

"The secret database is a hidden database of the machine, and it cannot be accessed by any program other than this program."

"Not even Atlas?"

"If you're talking about the main program of the machine, she really doesn't have access to the secret database."

Hearing the emotionless Atlas's answer, Dart and Zhou Xin seemed to understand a little, and just when they were silent, the emotionless Atlas asked: "May I ask what is the problem with the two of you, if there is no problem, this program is about to be closed and return to normal artificial intelligence." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xin hurriedly asked the previous question, "Do you know the destination set by the hyperspace device on the frozen planet?" ”

"Frozen planet? There is no information about this planet in the database of this machine, please enter the specific coordinates of the planet. ”

"No information?" Zhou Xin was a little surprised, "How can there be no information?" After thinking for a moment, he kind of understood, and then he tried to add, "The frozen planet is the same planet that Dart stayed on before. ”

"Definition: The Frozen Planet is the planet where Dart stays%Β₯......&." Atlas reported an Atlantean number, "Question: The destination set by the hyperspace device on the frozen planet." Answer: The destination is an open cluster 300 light-years away from the planet. She reported as she displayed the open cluster on the communicator's screen. However, due to the small screen, the two of them could not see the open star cluster clearly.

However, they didn't care about this detail for the time being, and Zhou Xin continued to ask, "Then how long will it be before we can leave this hyperspace." ”

"It took 30 Earth days, 13 hours and 23 minutes to pass through hyperspace."

"Tick - Detected the keywords 'planet%Β₯......&', 'hyperspace device', 'destination'." Without waiting for Zhou Xin and Dart to ask the next question, Atlas continued. Before they could understand what this meant, as soon as Atlas finished saying this, the screen on the communicator began to change, and a familiar face appeared in it......
