Chapter 120: Another Conversation with Gziol
"As far as we can reach now, apart from the star system where the Noshan civilization is located, there are no planets with signs of life yet." Atlas replied.
After some analysis, everyone's brows furrowed slightly again, and Spred said helplessly: "This is really a wave of unevenness." ”
"It's a relatively easy problem to solve." Compared with Sred, after listening to the little girl's report, the trace of uneasiness that had just arisen in Zhou Xinxin disappeared. He said calmly: "If no other life planets are discovered, it will be nothing more than finding a star system with gas planets to use as a transit." Atlas, don't tell me there aren't even galaxies around here that meet this requirement. ”
"Not really." The little girl on the screen shook her head and waved her hand again and again, "Let's not talk about people's own observations, there are at least two star systems that meet this condition recorded on that star map alone." However, all the planets in these two star systems are not in the habitable zone. ”
"That's fine." Zhou Xin touched his chin, "Anyway, we're just staying for a short time, as long as we finish refueling, we can go to other targets." ”
"Now think about what to do so much." At this time, Spred reminded, "We will stay here for at least a while, and we are not going to leave soon, and we can discuss the direction we should fly in after leaving here." Shouldn't the immediate priority be to think about how to explain this to the civilizations on the planet? ”
"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded, and at the same time, under Spred's reminder, he remembered another thing, "By the way, how could there be a few aliens missing when discussing this topic, they should still be in the lower warehouse, right?" ”
"Well, they are indeed still there." "And it seems that the final touches are being made to the communications device, do you need someone to reconnect to the warehouse below?" ”
Originally, Zhou Xin planned to do this, but after thinking about it, he still decided: "Let's go over to them, after all, we are asking them for help now, and we can always leave some good impressions if we take the initiative." ”
For Zhou Xin's idea, even Dart expressed his approval. In this way, after the discussion in the command cabin came to an end, Zhou Xin took a few people to the lower warehouse.
When he saw Gziol again, Zhou Xin saw him tapping on a metal plate that had been removed from an unknown location on a small workbench next to him. At first glance, the entire metal plate is quite irregular in shape, with obvious twists at the edges, as if it had experienced a violent explosion. What Gaziol was doing was smoothing out every unevenness in the part of the metal plate near the center. With a rhythmic percussion sound, the board on the workbench was still full of charred marks, but it gradually took on the appearance of a board.
The busy Gziol didn't notice Zhou Xin and the others standing at the door, not only him, but also his companions, but continued to do something around the communication device in Zhou Xin's memory. Zhou Xin also noticed that at this time, he was surrounded by several people in the middle, and two days ago it was still a twisted ball, which looked like the remains of an irregular metal ball had long since disappeared from its previous appearance. Its original twisted shell was gone, and all that was left was a slightly smaller regular cube with regular lines on the surface of the cube. Of course, there are also some irregular cables scattered around the device, but thanks to the efforts of several aliens, those cables are being retracted to the surface of the cube or its interior in a regular manner.
Just as Zhou Xin stared at Mondcombe, who was supposed to be extremely restless, carefully fitting one of the exposed cables back to the surface of the device, the regular tapping sound died down, followed by Gziol's voice.
"I'm all right here, are you all right over there?"
"It's coming." It was Pavro who replied, "There are only a few threads left that have not been put back together." ”
"You're not slow—ah, you're here." When he said the first half of the sentence, Géziol's face still had a vague smile, but after seeing Zhou Xin and his party, his tone of voice quickly became cold. The completely different tones before and after not only attracted the attention of several other team members, but also made Zhou Xin feel a little embarrassed, and just like that, the surrounding atmosphere began to become weird for a while.
After the two sides looked at each other, Zhou Xin finally broke the silence by taking the initiative to speak, "What, you have completely repaired the communication device?" As soon as he said that, he realized what a stupid question he had asked.
"Nonsense, otherwise—" Mondcombe jumped out of the room immediately after hearing Zhou Xin's question. However, his words had barely begun when he was stopped by the stern gaze that Géziol threw at him for the first time.
"Just say anything straight, don't beat around the bush." After glaring at Mondcombe, Gezio turned his gaze back to Zhou Xin's direction and said flatly. Just before Zhou Xin could speak again, he added: "If it's just some thanks, then I don't have to, I just truthfully reported my feelings to my father." You and I are still semi-hostile, and no amount of gratitude will change my opinion of you. ”
"Uh-" Originally, Zhou Xin was really ready to thank Gziol first, but the other party's snatching made him reluctantly dismiss this idea. After reorganizing the language in his heart, Zhou Xin asked in a sincere tone, "I just came here this time to ask you what kind of explanation we have to give in order to make that voice - uh - your father believe." ”
"Do you have to ask us about this?!" Although he had just been warned by Geziol, after listening to Zhou Xin's question, Mondcomb couldn't help but speak. He asked, with a slightly excited tone, "Didn't you promise that you would come up with an explanation that would make us believe?" If that's the case, then why do you even want to ask us? Speaking of this, he even took on a somewhat mocking tone, "Could it be that I don't know how to continue fabricating evidence, so I want to get some forged directions from our words......?" ”
