After Christy knocked three times, the communication module in Zhou Xin's hand reacted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Zhou Xin heard a noisy sound coming from the communication module in his hand, and the module in his hand was still vibrating slightly. He said to Christy, "There is a reaction. β
Christy heard the sound of the module, she stood up with the operation panel, and then said to Zhou Xin embarrassedly: "This operation panel has a problem when it is in good condition, and I have to knock it every time to get a response." β
"Uh-" Zhou Xin was speechless.
Christy continued to operate after finishing speaking, she looked at the communication module in Zhou Xin's hand, and then pressed it on the operation panel again. With each press, she looked at the communication module, and after repeating this a dozen times, Christy's brow furrowed, but she kept operating. After operating more than a dozen times, Christie's face showed a look of disappointment, she raised her head and said to Zhou Xin: "No, I can't be contacted, it seems that the communication module is broken." There was a tone of frustration in her tone.
Just looking at Christie's expression, Zhou Xin had a bad feeling in his heart, and now that her words confirmed this feeling, Zhou Xin's heart suddenly felt cold, "Isn't it okay?" Do you know what's broken? β
Christy nodded, "According to the prompt from the console, it seems that the communication module itself has malfunctioned, and it is no longer able to send a signal. β
"Can't you send a signal?" Zhou Xin said to himself, "Can it be fixed?" β
Christy shook her head helplessly, "Even if I could fix it, I wouldn't fix it, I haven't repaired this thing before." β
After listening to Christie's words, Zhou Xin felt a little embarrassed, "Can't you fix it?" Then that's the problem. After thinking about it, he called the engineering robot standing next to him and asked, "Have you tested this communication module?" Can you fix it? β
"This part has been checked by the unit before, but since the planetary car is not charged, the unit has not successfully started this module. If you want to fix it, please have the machine re-check the analysis of this communication module. β
Zhou Xin, who had no idea for the time being, had no choice but to listen to the robot's opinion, and he said to Christy: "You can check the module for the engineering robot again, maybe we can fix this communication module." β
"Really?" Christy said suspiciously, then she glanced at the wreckage on the ground, then glanced at Zhou Xin, "It's not going to be dismantled like this again." β
"Presumablyβno." Zhou Xin replied in an uncertain tone, and then he asked the robot the same question.
The engineering robot replied seriously: "Not necessarily, if you can't see the problem from the outside, you can only disassemble and analyze." β
After listening to the robot's answer, Zhou Xin felt a little embarrassed, but before he could speak, Christy hurriedly asked, "Can it be restored after dismantling?" β
"Yes." This time the robot answered in the affirmative.
After hesitating for a moment, Christy made a decision, "Okay, then I'll give you a try." She said slowly, "However, if you can't fix it, remember to restore it as it was." Then she added.
So Zhou Xin handed over the communication module in his hand to the engineering robot, and the robot walked to the next table after taking the communication module and began to check, and it continued to connect various instruments to the communication module for inspection. Zhou Xin saw that the robot didn't seem to be able to come up with the conclusion of the inspection for a while, so he took Christy and left first.
A few hours later, Zhou Xin, who was in the command module, received a report from an engineering robot.
"After a detailed inspection, the working principle of this communication module is basically similar to the principle of radio communication we use." The engineering robot reported.
"Have you found the cause of its damage?" Zhou Xin asked the most critical question.
"I found that the radio generator was damaged, so that the communication signal could not be sent."
"Is it repaired?"
"From the point of view of mechanical structure, this machine can repair this communication device. However, since the transmission frequency of the communication device is not known, it may not be possible to communicate with each other even if it is repaired. β
After listening to the report of the engineering robot, Zhou Xin suddenly felt that things had suddenly become tricky. Spred was also listening to the robot's report next to him, and seeing Zhou Xin's embarrassed look, he suggested: "Since we don't know the specific frequency, can we conduct an all-channel broadcast transmission?" β
Zhou Xin's expression was a little hesitant, "You can think about it, but to be honest, I don't want to do it." You know, the all-channel broadcast itself consumes a lot of energy, and this time our all-channel broadcast has to be sent to the whole planet, I don't know if our signal transmitter can withstand such a high-power and large-scale work. Andβ" There was a hint of concern on his face, "this group of Atlanteans must be the one who stayed here just in case, and in their current situation, even if they receive our all-channel broadcasts, do you think they will respond to us?" And I'm more worried about the fact that I don't know if there are any other followers for the spherical battleship, and what if we bring them over after an all-channel broadcast. So we'd better come up with other ways for now, rather than simply using all-channel broadcasting, which can only be used as a last resort. β
"Wouldn't it be too cautious?" After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Spred asked suspiciously, "Isn't that spherical battleship already chasing Atlantis's spaceship?" Do you think it's going to look back? β
"We should be more careful and more careful with any civilization that is technologically superior to ours, because we can't afford to make any mistakes." Zhou Xin said, "For them, there can be countless mistakes, but once we make mistakes, then what awaits us is basically destruction." β
After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Spred fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he raised his head, "You are right, we really can't take high-tech civilization lightly, as long as they catch the mistake, there is no way for us to escape from the hands of the spherical battleship like the Atlanteans." β
"So do you have any way to contact the Atlanteans now?" Zhou Xin pulled the topic back.
Spred thought for a moment, then pulled the researchers aside and asked a few words, then turned to Zhou Xin and asked, "Can you decipher the communication frequency used by the Atlanteans from the rest of the parts?" β
After listening to Spred's words, Zhou Xin hurriedly contacted the engineering robot that checked the communication module.
"No, you can't." The robot replied, "The rest of the communication module only functions as an internal information transmission function, and the signal transmission method used is completely different from the working principle of the signal transmission core. β
"Doesn't it workβ" Even Spred frowned.
"I saidβdid you overlook something?" At this time, Renard, who had been listening to him for a long time, interjected.
Zhou Xin and Spred focused their eyes on Renard, and then he reminded, "Didn't we also destroy a planetary car?" You can't just take the communication module of that planetary rover. β
Under Renard's reminder, Zhou Xin finally remembered Christy's mother's planetary car. But after thinking about it, he still frowned, "The damage to that planet car is even greater than Christy's, are you sure the communication module can still be used?" β
"How do you know if you don't try." "Maybe this part isn't damaged." β
"Makes sense." Zhou Xin nodded, and then he remembered something, he showed a wry smile, and then said, "Okay, now the problem is, I remember that the planet car is still on the surface of the planet." β
"Yes." Spred also remembered the problem, "We didn't bring back her mother's planet car because we were in a hurry to send Christy's mother back, and we also had a planet car as a sample. β
Zhou Xin was a little speechless, "Okay, it looks like we're going to have to take some time to get that planetary cart up." β
"What if the Atlanteans attack you?" Spred thought of another question.
"What else can I do, send more robots down." Zhou Xin replied, "And let all the combat robots on the planet base come out to help, I don't believe that so many robot Atlanteans would dare to attack." β
However, what Zhou Xin didn't expect was that what he said casually really came true......
The next day, the Voyager launches an engineering ship to the surface of the frozen planet, and at the same time, the combat robots from the ground base also depart. At first, Zhou Xin was a little nervous, afraid that the battle robot would have any accidents in the process of going to the wreck site of the planet car, but everything was normal until the battle robot arrived at the wreck site of the star car. Since the engineering ship had not yet arrived after the combat robot arrived, Zhou Xin ordered the combat robot to wait in place first. More than an hour later, the engineering ship also arrived near the wreck, and the transportation of the planetary rover began.
Since the wreckage of the planetary rover was still at the bottom of the ice crevasse, it would take a lot of time to transport it back to the engineering ship, and an accident happened when the engineering robot lifted the entire wreckage halfway.
Because the whole process of carrying was very long, Zhou Xin saw that things were going well, so he lay down in his seat and took a nap, and when he was in a daze, a shrill alarm sounded in the command cabin.
"Warning, warning, a large number of weapons platforms have been detected approaching." The blaring sirens kept repeating, and the command module began to glow red.
The dazed Zhou Xin was suddenly awakened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, where did the weapon platform appear?" β
"It's the location of the wrecked planet car." Spred had already checked Zhou Xin before he woke up, and at this time, satellite images also appeared on the screen. In the picture, there are many black shadows around the wrecked location of the planetary car, which completely surrounds the wrecked location, and they are also approaching the center at a very high speed.
"A large number of weapon platforms, numbering more than two hundred, were found approaching the wrecked location at an extremely high speed and were expected to make contact in two minutes." The Voyager came to a conclusion after calculations.
"What a good spirit, not a bad spirit." Zhou Xin complained and then asked nervously, "What about engineering robots?" Is the lifting job almost complete? β
"It's only halfway through, and it's expected to take another half an hour to lift the wreckage out of the ice crevasse." The engineering robot gave an answer that Zhou Xin didn't want to hear.
"Otherwise, just give up this lifting job." Spred said.
"Impossible." Zhou Xin retorted without thinking, "Now that the lifting work is only half completed, if you give up now, do you want to throw the wreckage of this planetary vehicle directly?" After such a secondary fall, will it cause damage to the communication module of this planet rover? And, now that the Atlanteans have discovered our actions, do you think they'll give us a second chance to recover the wreckage of this planetary vehicle? Now we only have this one chance. β
"So what do you do now, continue the lifting work?" Spred asked.
"That's all there is to it." Zhou Xin said helplessly, "Fortunately, the battle robots were transferred just in case, but now it depends on whether they can resist the attack of the weapon platform." Then he gave an order to the robots on the ground, "The combat robots will defend the engineering ship and the lifting site as the center, and don't care about anything else, just ensure the safety of the engineering ship and the lifting site." The engineering robot ignores unnecessary lifting procedures and speeds up the lifting speed. β
As soon as Zhou Xin's words fell, the combat robots that were originally in a standby state began to act, and they began to form a circle around the lifting place of the engineering ship. The engineering robot also reported after Zhou Xin's order: "It is about to enter the rapid lifting process, ignoring unnecessary inspection steps, ignoring safety procedures, and the lifting device accelerates the lifting speed." Before the robot's words fell, Zhou Xin saw that the lifting speed of the device had increased significantly, and a few seconds later, the engineering robot continued to report, "The lifting speed has been accelerated, and the lifting work is expected to be completed in fifteen minutes." β
After listening to the report of the engineering robot, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and Spred, who was next to him, asked: "Do you want to go, Christy called over, if we can contact these weapon platforms, maybe we can avoid this unnecessary battle." β
Before Zhou Xin could answer, Ralph, who was watching the anxious Ralph from the side, hurriedly replied, "I'll go, I'll go." Then he hurried out of the command cabin......
