"Is it really that there is too much difference in the way of thinking between the two?" Receiving this answer, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xin found that he had no clue at all, so he had to put this question aside and think about his next move. As mentioned before, now that the planet has been explored, the question of where to go next has become a very real question, and after thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and asked the Voyager, "Voyager, is the observation of the surrounding stars still going on?" Have you discovered a planet worth exploring? ”

"Not yet." The Voyager replied as a star map appeared on the screen, "This is the star map that this ship has observed, centered on this planet. Zhou Xin looked at the map carefully, and the Voyager continued, "In a hundred light-years centered on this planet, this ship has found 13 star systems with planets, and except for the thunder star that I visited before, there are no planets in the habitable zone in the other 12 star systems. ”

"Isn't there less than a hundred light years?" Zhou Xin was a little disappointed, "That's going to be difficult, no matter how far it goes, we won't be able to go with our current conditions." He stared at the star map in front of him, but no matter how he looked, it couldn't tell him where he was going.

Spred, who was next to him, also stared at the star map for a long time, and then as if he suddenly realized, he shouted loudly: "Voyager, compare the star map you observed with the concentric circle pattern before to see if there are any similarities." ”

Hearing Spred's words, Zhou Xin was slightly stunned, then rejoiced, and then hurriedly spoke, "Do what Spred said, maybe you can really find something." ”

Ralph looked at the two people who suddenly became agitated with a confused expression, she didn't understand what was happening, but Zhou Xin and Spred ignored her, they stared at the screen tightly, waiting for the results of the Voyager's comparison.

It took a long time for Voyager to report the final results. And this result proved that Spred's idea was correct, and each point of the second pattern did correspond to some of the stars in the star map observed by the Voyager one by one, which made Zhou Xin and the others very surprised and excited.

"I finally know what the second picture means." Zhou Xin said happily, and then he said to Spred, "It's really thanks to your ingenuity, otherwise we would have struggled with this picture for a long time." ”

Spred scratched his head in embarrassment, "I just thought that both were points, could there be some coincidence, but I didn't expect the result to be really the same as I thought." ”

Ralph then understood what had just happened, and then she interjected, "But what does this mean, these are more than thirty points, should we go and investigate all the stars that appear on the map?" If that's the case, we'll never be able to accomplish it in our lifetime. ”

Hearing Ralph's words, Zhou Xin and Spred looked at each other, and then Zhou Xin spoke: "We must have missed something, how can there be so many places that we need to find." ”

Spred thought for a moment and said heavily: "It's not necessarily impossible, you think about it, with the technology level of the Atlanteans, it won't take that long for them to explore these places, at least they will spend a lot less time on the road than us." You say, did they not take into account the level of technology that discovered these clues at all, or did they think that the civilization technology that could find these clues should be similar to theirs, so they gave so many places? ”

After listening to Spred's analysis, Zhou Xin was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he came back to his senses, "No, the probability of one in thirty, if that's the case, then where should we go." ”

"Just find a place, maybe you can find it all at once." Ralph replied casually.

"How can this be casual." Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "It takes several years to go to a place every time. ”

"Then I won't look for it." Ralph continued, "Anyway, it's been discussed before, even if we find the Atlanteans, they won't be able to help them, and if they don't say well, they will send us in ourselves. ”

"The clues have been analyzed to this point, we are almost close to the end but find that we can only give up in the end, I still feel a little unwilling. Let's think about it again, is there anything we have overlooked? Zhou Xin said

Ralph muttered casually, "Aren't there other points, let's compare them." ”

However, this sentence seemed to remind Zhou Xin, he was slightly stunned, and then said excitedly: "That's right, Voyager, try to compare the dots on the first map with the star map." ”

Spred was a little incredulous, "No, didn't the first picture already show the information?" Do you think there's something hidden inside? ”

"How do you know if you don't try."

Thanks to the previous first comparison, this time the Voyager was quick to get results.

"After comparison, the ship found that the points on the first map can indeed find the corresponding stars on the star map."

"What's the use of that?" Before Zhou Xin could answer, Ralph spoke, "Wouldn't there be more planets we were looking for?" ”

"No, no, no." Zhou Xin replied, "It's completely different, have you forgotten?" There is one point in the special places marked by the animals that is special. ”

Under Zhou Xin's reminder, Spred and the others finally remembered that special point, and Spred asked with some hesitation: "Are you talking about the point where the extremely special Tyrannosaurus rex was discovered?" ”

"yes." Ralph also remembered, "That Tyrannosaurus rex was captured by us after losing more than a team of robots. ”

"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded, "When I found that Tyrannosaurus rex, I felt a little strange, since the Atlanteans could transform such a Tyrannosaurus rex, why not transform other special species into the appearance of that Tyrannosaurus rex." However, if the position of the Tyrannosaurus rex also represents some special meaning, then the doubt can be explained. ”

After listening to Zhou Xin's analysis, Spred thought for a while, "Your statement makes sense, so let's see which star this location points to." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, and then asked the Voyager to show the information of the star: it was a very ordinary yellow dwarf, and this star was about 8 light-years away from Zhou Xin's current position. Telescopes on Voyager appear to have detected the presence of two planets around the star, although both planets are clearly far from the habitable zone.

After reading the Voyager's exploration report, Spred asked directly: "Is there a planet, but these two planets are not in the habitable zone, are you really sure you want to go to this kind of place?" ”

Zhou Xin also hesitated a little, after all, the possibility of life on a planet located in the habitable zone was already very low, let alone a planet outside the habitable zone, but the idea of finding the traces of the Atlanteans tempted him in his heart, so he was a little entangled in his heart now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xin finally decided to use this star as an alternative planet, and before leaving here, if he didn't find a more suitable planet, then he would go to this planet to explore, and if there was a more suitable planet, he wouldn't go.

In the next month, Zhou Xin and they were even busier, although the exploration of this planet has been completed, but after all, this place was built in imitation of the ancient times on the earth, in order to understand the information of this age on the earth in more detail, Zhou Xin decided to collect all the information on this planet. Including the environment of the planet, the distribution of animals and plants, the situation of the biological chain, etc., the most troublesome of which is the genetic sequencing of animals and plants. When Zhou Xin decided to genetically sequence all the life on this planet, everyone thought he was crazy, so many creatures, how long it would take to complete them all, under the persuasion of everyone, Zhou Xin finally decided to narrow down the scope, first to sequence the genes of the large life on this planet, and then collect various samples from all over the world for later analysis. But even so, the amount of work they had was enormous, and thanks to the fact that Voyager had built a number of improvised probes, the work was completed in a hurry. As for the underground base, the final finishing work was completed more than half a month ago, however, until the end, the detector did not open the locked hall, Zhou Xin and they even used violent means to no avail, helpless, Zhou Xin They had to give up the idea of opening the hall, so they took away the only remaining information, and then re-sealed the base.

On this day, Zhou Xin finished reading the last report in the command cabin, then sat down in his seat and breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's finally done, I'm tired of this month." ”

Spred said angrily on the side: "Tell you to be idle and have nothing to do to sequence all the creatures, if we don't stop you, you will be even more tired than you are now, believe it or not." ”

"Yes, yes." Ralph also said on the side, "Even I'm too busy to go out and play during this time, Uncle Captain, how do you compensate me." ”

Zhou Xin scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "You won't understand this kind of mood, think about it, the ancient ecology that we once speculated about is now really in front of us, no one will give up the opportunity to research, even if I am not a researcher, I know the importance of collecting this information, don't I." ”

"Then you don't have to collect everything like garbage." Spred went on to complain, "It's enough to gather some key information, is it necessary to collect a copy of everything?" It's hard to imagine that you want to recreate a new planet like the Atlanteans. ”

"Not really." Zhou Xin continued to say embarrassedly, "But I don't know what important information is, so I can still collect some of it, otherwise those friends of mine wake up and find that I have been to a planet that is very similar to the ancient times, but I haven't collected enough information for them to study, then I will be scolded to death by them." As he spoke, Zhou Xin's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell completely silent.

At this time, Spred didn't have much comfort, he walked up to Zhou Xin and patted him on the shoulder, and then changed the topic, "Then now our investigation of this planet should be completed, have we decided where to go next, are we really going to that planet?" ”

"It's just a pity that the locked hall can't be explored." Zhou Xin opened his mouth and said, "Do you have a better choice?" It is true that no planets in the habitable zone have been found in the surrounding stars observed by Voyager. Instead of looking for a random star as a target, you might as well follow the Atlanteans' prompts to go over there. ”

"But what if we guess wrong." Spred said worriedly, "If that's not what the Atlanteans are trying to say, then we haven't made a trip in vain." ”

"Then let's just think we've found a target." Zhou Xin spread his hands, "Anyway, for us, every star makes no difference. ”

"And what if you run into that spherical battleship?" Ralph asked.

Hearing this question, Zhou Xin was silent for a while, and then replied hesitantly, "This shouldn't be the case, since the Atlanteans want to guide us to this place, then they will not lead the enemy to this place as well." ”

"What if the Atlanteans are trying to mislead the enemy into this place?" Ralph asked nonchalantly.

"It's even more unlikely." Zhou Xin replied without hesitation, "At the end of the video, the Atlanteans jumped out of Uranus directly, didn't the spherical battleship find their whereabouts in the end, since they can directly track the direction of the Atlanteans' escape, then why bother to search the nearby planets?" That's not a waste of time. ”

"Okay." Spred spread his hands, "Now that we've made our choice, let's pack up and get ready to go." ”

Another half a month passed, and in this half month, Zhou Xin and the others completed the finishing work of the investigation of this planet, and at the same time, they brought back all kinds of materials from the base on the surface of the planet, and also tested the warp engine by the way, and everything was ready.

Today, there was a busy scene in the command module again, and Zhou Xin, who was now standing with Spred, quietly watching the researchers busy, today was the day they set off for a new planet.

"Are you really decided?" Spred asked again.

Zhou Xin didn't answer him, just nodded heavily.

At this time, a researcher in front of the operation desk reported: "Your Excellency, the preparations for departure have been completed, please give the order." ”

Zhou Xin was silent for a while, and then he opened his mouth and ordered: "Target, a star eight light years away, prepare to go......"
