Chapter 13: The Actions of the Other Party

"Brother Captain, Brother Captain. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info appeared, and they appeared. As Zhou Xin was in the command cabin eating lunch and carefully examining the losses of the Voyager, Atlas's voice made him turn his attention to the large screen that had just switched screens.

At this moment, around the spacecraft, the number of clover-shaped vehicles that were scouting around the Voyager yesterday has been much reduced, only a dozen remaining. Moreover, under the guard of only a few probes, none of those aircraft attempted to cross the line set by Zhou Xin yesterday, and it seemed that they were very compliant. But this was only within close range around the spaceship, and in the farther picture, Zhou Xin saw a group of dark shadows in the sky slowly approaching the Voyager.

In today's situation, Zhou Xin certainly wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that these black shadows would be ordinary creatures like birds. As the group of dark shadows approached, their shapes slowly appeared on the screen.

The main part of the shadow is a standard teardrop-shaped object, and directly above the droplet is a large propeller-like device attached to it, which is now rotating at high speed. As they got closer to the ship, the roar of the device as it rotated at high speed began to be heard from a distance.

"It's time to come." Looking at the picture on the screen, Zhou Xin said thoughtfully, "I just don't know if this time it's a ceremony or a soldier." After saying this, he quickly gave instructions to the Voyager, "Send a number of probes equal to the other side, and their mission is still the same - not to allow any flying objects that do not belong to the Voyager to come within three thousand meters of the spacecraft." After thinking about it, Zhou Xin added, "In addition, let the combat robots gather around the underside of the spaceship and prepare for battle." However, unless I have an order to do so, or if we find that the other party has the intention to attack the Voyager, we are not allowed to attack the opponent at will. ”

"Understood."

In just a few minutes, a number of probes belonging to Voyager appeared on the screen. The battle robots also began to walk from between the broken shells of the ship to the ground, and after a while, hundreds of battle robots were neatly arranged in the shadow area around the ship. Now they all remain stationary with their weapons angled upwards at a forty-five degree angle, looking cold and unforgiving.

Just as the robots were assembled, the teardrop-shaped aircraft also flew within about seven kilometers of the Voyager, which also made their appearance appear more clearly in front of Zhou Xin and them.

At a glance, the height of the entire aircraft is about 20 meters, and the maximum diameter is about 10 meters. What used to be a standard teardrop-shaped shape from a distance has now become a polyhedron made up of slabs spliced together. The tip of the droplet also has an extra facet, which is connected to the propeller by a bearing. As for the propeller above, it was not the one that Zhou Xin thought at the beginning, but two propellers with different rotation directions stacked together. During the flight of the aircraft, the teardrop-shaped body underneath the different aircraft is still slowly rotating in different directions.

Looking at the picture on the screen, Spred couldn't help but say, "The shape of the aircraft is so strange, I really don't know what it's like to sit in it." ”

"Who knows if it's going to get dizzy." Zhou Xin replied casually, and then the expression on his face became serious, "Okay, let's not talk about these useless things, since the other party has come, let's think about how we should deal with it." ”

"It's up to the other party's actions." Dart replied, "If we attack us without saying a word, then we have no better choice." Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario. ”

In a few words, the teardrop-shaped aircraft had already flown to the edge of the warning line drawn by Zhou Xin. Thankfully, the worst-case scenario Dart spoke of didn't happen. About three kilometers or so from the Voyager, they changed direction and circled the ship like the original vehicle.

Of course, in the process of flying around the Voyager, these teardrop-shaped aircraft are not so regular, but constantly try to enter the warning range. Although the probes are much smaller in comparison, they still work hard to keep the intrusion of the vehicle at bay. For these detectors that try to use the mantis arm as a car, if there are a large number of them, the aircraft will exit the warning range after the intention is discovered, but for one or two detectors alone, the other party is actually trying to capture them.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin said: "Since there is no attack, it means that the other party has no hostility towards us for the time being." ”

"It's normal, too." Dart continued, "Under normal circumstances, no one would attack a target who cannot judge friend or foe, but who will not attack him for the time being. ”

"Also, the other party seems to be curious about us." Spred's focus was in the other direction, "also trying to capture the detector for research." ”

"Then send one to them." Zhou Xin said, "Anyway, the detector is only loaded with various detection equipment, so there shouldn't be much scientific and technological content for them." And, if they're lucky, they'll be able to use the communication device inside to get in touch with us. ”

"It's a good idea, but I don't think it's realistic." "But I'm not opposed to sending them a probe." ”

So, under Atlas's arrangement, a probe pretended to "inadvertently" fly near a certain aircraft, and then "coincidentally" something went wrong. The craft seized the opportunity and captured the probe. As soon as the probe was retracted, it couldn't wait to fly back as fast as it could.

Then, after a few more laps around the Voyager, the craft came to a halt at the edge of the cordon. After a while, several of the craft retreated some distance before slowly descending to the ground. Then, Zhou Xin and the others saw that many people began to walk out with something in the flying machine parked on the ground. With what they had in hand, they gathered together and got busy. Soon, there was a strange contraption there.

"What are they trying to do?" After seeing the strange device, Zhou Xin asked suspiciously......
