"Is that really the case?" Zhou Xin was still a little unconvinced in his heart, and he confirmed it to Atlas again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"That's pretty much it." "Based on all the clues available so far, this is the only plausible explanation that can be given to connect all the clues." At this time, it seemed that another detector sent back new information, because the little girl showed a listening look again. After a few seconds, Atlas said to Zhou Xin, "The drilling equipment on the planet has discovered even older rocks deep underground, with rocks lasting more than 4.5 billion years, which is about the same as the lifespan of other planets in this galaxy. However, no similar rock has been found on the silicon star before, and the maximum life span of the silicon star is 2.5 billion years, which is about the same as the life span of the surface rock of the magnetar, which can also show that the inference of people is correct, and the silicon star is the second formation of the material that was blown away later. ”

"Looks like that's all the truth in this galaxy." This news was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making Zhou Xin believe Atlas's inference, and he sighed, "One interplanetary collision is exaggerated enough, but I didn't expect two large-scale planetary collisions to occur in this galaxy, it's really unbelievable." ”

"Yes, yes." The little girl nodded again and again, "Even people think it's incredible." ”

Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then asked Atlas: "This should be the final conclusion, so have there been other major events in this galaxy?" ”

"Two planetary collisions are not enough, Brother Captain, you still want to see any other major events happening in this galaxy." Atlas showed an exaggerated expression, and then her expression became serious again, "But this is not the final conclusion, although the results of the analysis are not wrong in the general direction, but there are still many details that need to be added." Brother Captain, can you give me some more probes? In the future, more detectors will be needed for their research. ”

"This-" Zhou Xin showed a look of embarrassment, "It's okay if it's not much, the life of the probe on the magnetar is too short, and the consumption is too fast." ”

"Don't worry, people won't put the probe on the magnetar." Atlas said, "These probes are placed in galaxy space, and people want to study the orbit of the unknown planet in this galaxy, and I am curious about what the orbit of the unknown planet is like, and it can actually hit two planets in a row." ”

"That's fine." Hearing that Atlas was not sending the probe to the magnetar, Zhou Xin agreed to her request, and then he instructed, "Remember to record the complete information after the study." ”

"Brother Captain, don't worry, people know." Atlas said casually, "Okay, people are going to continue to study this galaxy, don't call me if you don't have anything to do." As he spoke, without waiting for Zhou Xin to answer, the little girl on the screen disappeared.

"Your Excellency, Captain, I have detected that all the probes on the ship are being launched, is it your order?" The Voyager reported.

"In such a hurry." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "It's Atlas who manipulated it, let her go." Voyager, it's time to add some probes. ”

"Understood." The Voyager replied, "This will allow the planetary base to put the creation of probes on the agenda. ”

"Well, I'll leave it to you." Zhou Xin continued to explain, "Although we now know the degree of wear and tear of various equipment on the magnetar, we still don't let our guard down, and we still have to check the equipment every day." After receiving the Voyager's response, Zhou Xin found that there was nothing to pay special attention to for the time being, so he thought about it, and then decided to go to the living module to see how the Atlanteans were doing.

When he came to the living cabin, Zhou Xin was surprised to find that there was no one in the living cabin, and he came directly to the door of Dart's room with curiosity. He knocked on the door, but found that it was Christy who had come out to open the door.

Zhou Xin glanced into the room, "Why are you?" What about Dart? He asked, "What about the other Atlanteans?" Where have they gone? ”

Christy gave a strange look on her face and replied, "They? They all went to various parts of the ship to help. Why did you come here all of a sudden, is there something wrong? ”

"Nothing." Zhou Xin shook his head, "It's just that I'm just done with the things at hand, so I want to come over and see your current situation, are other people still used to life on the ship?" Are there any special circumstances. ”

Speaking of this, Christy showed a happy expression, "No, no, everyone is very satisfied with the current situation, although life is similar to before, but everyone has a lot more things now, everyone's life is much more fulfilling, not as idle as before." Then she invited Zhou Xin, "I'm going to look for my grandfather, he is near a section of the hull that needs to be repaired, Captain, do you want to come along?" ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "Then take me there, just by the way to see the current situation of the others." ”

Following Christy, Zhou Xin also asked her from time to time about the specific situation of the Atlanteans, to which Christy answered him one by one. While chatting, they walked to where Dart was.

From a distance, Zhou Xin saw that Dart and several other people were gathered together, as if they were discussing something, and walked up to them, Zhou Xin heard that Dart was explaining something to the people next to him.

"This is not Atlantis's spaceship, in the process of maintenance, it is still mainly those engineering robots, you just need to do it according to what is shown here, the other main thing is the planning of various things, their robots are not very good at these, we are pressed for time, try to do as little as possible and don't make mistakes." Dart pointed to a picture on the screen and said to the people around him, listening to Dart's words, the young people around him nodded again and again.

Seeing Zhou Xin walking to the side and listening to himself, Dart also showed an embarrassed expression, he pointed to the other people around him, "They are all doing these things for the first time, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, this has happened before, so I am here to explain them well." ”

"It's fine." Zhou Xin comforted instead, "Originally, this kind of thing doesn't need your participation, if it weren't for the fact that there was a shortage of people on the ship, I wouldn't have let them do the work of helping to repair the spaceship." ”

Dart waved his hand and motioned for the others to disperse and go about their own business, and then said to Zhou Xin: "Actually, it is my idea to let them help, no matter how big or small it is, if we don't give them something to do on the ship, then what is the difference between our previous life in the base, so we might as well stay in the base." He then adds, "And being involved in the ship's maintenance also increases everyone's sense of belonging to the ship, which also allows everyone to settle into their new lives more quickly." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "You still think more, I really didn't think of this." ”

Dart sighed, "It's not that I think about it too much, but after becoming a leader, I will unconsciously think about this, in fact, I don't want to think about it so much, but thinking that the fate of so many people is decided in my sentence, it's very stressful." ”

"It's really hard, and as a leader, I can empathize with it." Zhou Xin sighed, "The life of the entire spaceship is in my hands, and sometimes a small decision I make may determine the fate of the whole ship." ”

"So you're dragging me into the water at the festival?" Dart joked.

"How is that possible?" Zhou Xin denied without thinking, "How could I think so, I think in my heart that you are the most suitable leader for the Atlanteans." The others are either underage children or a bunch of researchers, let them be the leaders of the Atlanteans, so don't mess around. ”

"Okay, okay, no need to explain." Dart said, "I'm just talking about it, and I know in my heart that I have to be the leader, but I can't accept it suddenly being brought up at the festival." Then he changed the subject, "Look at you, you're here to find out about us." ”

Zhou Xin shook his head, "Yes at first, but now that I've seen it, I don't need to ask more." He looked at the other Atlanteans who were busy not far away, and then he asked, "Isn't the work of repairing the ship too much—too little, do you want to send them something more important?" ”

Dart shook his head, "That's enough, the things to do on the ship are too far from the base, and those kids are also new to the real business, they need to start with the simple things first, and then assign them more complicated things when they are familiar with them." Don't look at these things as easy, but those kids make mistakes from time to time, so don't think about assigning them more important things. He also followed Zhou Xin's gaze, and then began to talk about the past, "And they are still full of interest in these little things now, you know, when they first let them contact these things, they were all curious about it, and they had to move anything new when they saw it, and they caused a lot of trouble for this, and it is still like this until now, if you let them touch more important things, then don't turn the world upside down." ”

"Okay, let's arrange it this way first." After listening to Dart's words, Zhou Xin nodded, and then he asked, "What about those researchers, you won't let them do these things, right?" ”

"Not really." Dart shook his head, "There are no new research projects right now, but I'll get them back to studying hyperspace. Then his voice lowered, "I also found a lot of missing hyperspace research data in the process of copying star maps in Atlas's internal database, and after we left the frozen planet, Atlas no longer forbade us to study hyperspace, so I asked them to retrieve these missing research results first." Maybe we'll encounter those enemies in the future, and if we know more about hyperspace, we'll have more chances to save our lives. ”

"You made the right decision." Zhou Xin agreed, "Then let's continue to research, I think we also need to get some information related to hyperspace, so that the next time we enter hyperspace, we will still be as confused and overwhelmed as before." Then he added, "Of course, it would be nice if your researchers could restore the hyperspace engine, although there is now a warp engine on board, but this engine is still too small to be used for the vast universe." ”

"Don't get your hopes up too much about replicating the hyperspace engine." Dart shook his head, "The most detailed information we have now is mainly some research on hyperspace. As for the creation of hyperspace engines, there are only a few words in the data, unless there are other materials in that secret database, otherwise we want to build a hyperspace engine from scratch, and we are starting from scratch without the help of artificial intelligence. ”

"Without the help of artificial intelligence?" Zhou Xin asked, "Atlas still can't participate in the current research?" ”

Dart shook his head helplessly, "It's impossible for that underlying directive to disappear, so we can't risk her to participate in all kinds of important research again, especially those related to hyperspace, after all, she has a precedent." ”

"That's a shame." Zhou Xin sighed deeply, but he suddenly smiled, "But if you ask Atlas to study some hyperspace now, she might not be happy?" ”

"Why is she still studying the planetary origin of this galaxy?" Dart asked.

"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded, "But don't really say it, she really researched something, the planets in this galaxy are not as simple as they seem." Zhou Xin then briefed Dart on the results of Atlas's research.

"I didn't expect it to be a planet impact." After listening to Zhou Xin's description, Dart sighed with some emotion, "Such a bizarre result, only artificial intelligence can analyze it so quickly." ”

"If we were to do so, we might be looking for clues about possible relationships in all kinds of complex information." Zhou Xin agreed, "When processing a large amount of information, artificial intelligence does have an advantage that we can't match. ”

"It's just a pity." Dart's voice was a little helpless. "If it weren't for that damn underlying directive."

"Alright." Zhou Xin comforted, "People can't be perfect, and machines are the same, there are advantages, and naturally there will be disadvantages." ”

Dart nodded, "I understand, I'm just sorry, but Atlas doesn't care." At this, his tone became a little relieved.

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Seeing that the topic had become heavier, Zhou Xin hurriedly changed the topic, "The maintenance of the spaceship has been on the right track, and when the shell of the spaceship is repaired, we can set off again......"
