"Looks like I can't go down for a trip. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Zhou Xin sighed.

Spred said embarrassedly, "Then please." ”

"Eh-uh-" Ralph was surprised, and then subconsciously asked, "What are you going to do?" Uncle Captain, do you want to come down? After a while, Ralph finally reacted, "Uncle Captain, you really want to come down!" She cried out excitedly.

"Ralph!" Spred glanced at her, "Be quiet." ”

Hearing this title, Zhou Xin's face was full of black lines, "Why is it Uncle Captain, I'm not old, okay?" Do you think the captains are all old people? ”

"That's not the case." Ralph snorted, "Doesn't the captain have to be an experienced person, if he is experienced, he will definitely be older, and there is something wrong with calling him an uncle when he is older." ”

"Although I always feel very uncomfortable, it sounds so reasonable." Zhou Xin was speechless, "I'm only 28 years old, where do I look like an uncle?"

"There's no real person in the communicator, and you're 28 years old and you're not an uncle." Ralph whispered.

"I can hear me even if it's quiet, okay?" Zhou Xin complained, "Also, Chang'e, didn't you turn on the image during the communication?" ”

"Without your orders, without the opening of bilateral video communications, only your analog voice can be heard on their side." Chang'e replied.

"......" Zhou Xin was speechless again, "open it, no wonder I always think that the communication between us is so weird." ”

As soon as Zhou Xin's words fell, a small screen appeared in front of Spred, and Zhou Xin's figure appeared in it. So, Spred and the others saw the scene of Zhou Xin being disheveled, and he was still holding something in his hand to feed Xiaobai.

Ralph pouted: "Sure enough, it's still a lewd uncle." ”

"W-what?" Zhou Xin retracted his outstretched hand, and hurriedly cleaned up his image, "Why did you suddenly turn on the image, I haven't cleaned it up yet, turn it off quickly." ”

"Isn't that your order?" Chang'e replied solemnly.

The image in front of Spred vanished again, and then he heard a rush of voices coming from the communicator. "Captain, your buckle is crooked." "Whoa." "Ah, the teacup is poured, come and clean it up personally, don't make trouble, Xiaobai, now is not the time to play." After a while, the sound disappeared, and then Zhou Xin's figure appeared in front of Spred again, but this time Zhou Xin was dressed neatly, and Xiaobai was still standing on his shoulder, but it was looking restlessly from side to side.

"Ahh What a cute little thing, what is this. Revle was immediately attracted by the little white on Zhou Xin's shoulder.

"Women are all the same creatures." Zhou Xin was speechless again, "Hey, hey, are you making a mistake, it looks like I'm still standing in front of you." ”

"Uncle, what's so nice." Ralph pouted, "Tell me quickly, what kind of creature is the little thing on your shoulder?" It's so cute! She continued to ask.

Spred looked at his daughter helplessly, "I'm sorry, my daughter lost her temper." But your appearance is really similar to ours, I thought Chang'e was designed by you to imitate our appearance for communication. ”

Zhou Xin touched his nose embarrassedly, "Hello, the first time we met, please advise, I am the captain of this ship, Zhou Xin." ”

Spred dragged Ralph, who was still babbling questions, behind him, "You've seen me more than once, I should say that." "I was very happy to meet for the first time. ”

Zhou Xin also smiled, "Okay, don't say polite words, I'm going to go to your base tomorrow, is there any problem?" ”

"You're welcome." Spred looked a little happy.

After discussing tomorrow's affairs, Zhou Xin ended the communication, and after closing the communication, Zhou Xin got up from his seat and stretched, and then told the Voyager to get ready for tomorrow's trip.

"Please think carefully, do you really want to go to the base yourself?" The Voyager reminded.

"In this situation, if you don't go, this base is probably going to fall apart." Zhou Xin analyzed, "Moreover, since you have decided to take them away, you will have to meet sooner or later, and it is not a bad thing to meet them now." ”

"But in terms of safety...... "Voyager hesitated for the first time.

"This is not a problem, it's a big deal that I'll bring a few more combat robots, anyway, they don't know the specific model of our robots." Zhou Xin said, "Moreover, if I don't take the first step, what if I communicate with aliens in the future, I can't always hide behind robots." ”

"Your Wishes ......"

Early the next morning, in the command module, the Voyager prepared Zhou Xin to go to the Kilo base.

Wrapped in a thick protective suit, Zhou Xinwen asked angrily, "Why do you think this protective clothing is more bulky than before?" ”

"For your safety, this ship has added another layer of protection inside the protective suit." Voyager replied.

“…… I'm really bothering you. ”

After a two-hour flight, Zhou Xin arrived at the temporary base established to explore the Kilo base, and after preparing in the base for a while, Zhou Xin was ready to leave for the Kilo base.

Entering the airtight door, Zhou Xin saw the gap that had opened a few days ago. Now that the gap is still exposed, it seems that they have no intention of repairing it, and they are all ready to leave, and they are going to spend a lot of effort to repair a door and do something. Zhou Xin bent down, walked through the lonely hole, and came to the passage in front of the entrance. In the dim passage, Zhou Xin looked forward and vaguely saw something at the end of the passage.

Walking through the dark passage, Zhou Xin finally saw the end of the passage clearly, and the door he saw for the first time was completely open. Behind the gate, led by two people, a group of dwarves more than a meter tall stood there, they were not wearing protective clothing, and in the middle of the group of dwarves stood three tall figures abruptly.

The three tall figures broke away from the crowd and walked towards Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin found that it was Chang'e who was staying in the base, and when he came to Zhou Xin, Chang'e reported solemnly: "Your Excellency Captain, Chang'e was ordered to complete the liaison work with the Kilo base, and it has been completed, waiting for orders." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "It's done very well, come back." ”

Chang'e walked behind Zhou Xin and stood there, Zhou Xin paused in place, and then continued to walk towards the crowd. Coming to the crowd, both sides froze slightly, and the quiet atmosphere lasted for a while, and then Zhou Xin took the lead in breaking the silence.

Stretching out his right hand, Zhou Xin said to Spred, who was standing in front: "Hello, I am Zhou Xin, the captain of the Voyager. ”

"Hello." Spred looked at Zhou Xin's outstretched right hand and asked suspiciously, "What does this mean, is this your civilization's unique way of greeting?" ”

"......" Zhou Xin withdrew his right hand awkwardly, and then briefly introduced the origin of the handshake to Spred.

"What an interesting etiquette." Ralph interrupted their conversation as she held out her right hand, "Hello, I'm Ralph. ”

Zhou Xin once again stretched out his right hand to shake Ralph's hand, and while shaking hands, Ralph couldn't wait to ask, "What about that cute little guy I saw on the communicator?" Did you bring it with you? Where is it? While asking, he jumped up, trying to find Xiaobai's figure on Zhou Xin's shoulder.

"......" Zhou Xin replied embarrassedly: "It's not like I'm coming down to play, so I didn't bring it with me, don't look for it." Eh - don't touch it, it's not hidden. Ralph ignored Zhou Xin's words and continued to search for him.

Zhou Xin glanced at Spred helplessly, and Spred also showed a headache expression at him, and then, he walked behind Ralph, ignored her struggle, and dragged him behind him. Ralph struggled and kept shouting, "Eh-don't catch me, I'm looking for something, uh-uh-eh-"

While resisting Ralph's struggle, Spred said to Zhou Xin: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've worked hard all the way here, please go to the base to rest first." ”

"You should tell me something before you take a break." Zhou Xin looked behind Spred and looked at his fellow researchers like a cherished animal.

Ralph struggled out from behind Spred again, "I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm going to introduce you." ”

Freed from Spred's shackles, Ralph stood in front of Zhou Xin again, but this time she stood there very neatly and did not turn over Zhou Xin again.

May I introduce them to you, and Ralph said politely, "This is Renard, the leader of the research group; This is Raymond, the leader of the second group; This is the logistics team leader, Guresta; This is ......" she said as she pointed to the group of people behind her one by one, and everyone who was introduced put their hands on their chests and made a very strange gesture to Zhou Xin, thinking that it was their way of greeting.

As soon as Ralph finished his introduction, one of the people in the crowd couldn't wait to ask, "We've heard the director say, you're going to take us away, can we trust you?" ”

"If I don't take you away, then what will I do when I come down, get ready, and when I finish your work in a few days, I will take you away." Zhou Xin said.

Seeing that there were still signs of continuing to ask questions behind him, Spred interrupted, "Zhou Xin's ship has worked hard for a long time, let's go to the base and rest first." ”

Zhou Xin nodded and followed Spred into the base.

After a routine check, Zhou Xin followed Spred to a small room. Inside the room, Ralph finally couldn't help but complain, "These people have gone too far to ask this kind of question at the welcome ceremony." ”

"Ralph." Spred stopped, and then he said to Zhou Xin: "This is also one of the strategies of those conspirators, one is to surface the rumors so that more people can know about them, and the other is to hope that you can give a dissatisfied answer, so as to directly sabotage our plan." ”

"I understand." Zhou Xin nodded, "I hope my arrival can have the effect of calming people's hearts, but you must also continue to investigate and find out who is behind the scenes." ”

"Well, I'm also secretly investigating, and I've found a few suspicious people now." Spred replied.

At this time, the restless Ralph asked beside him: "Uncle Captain, since you are all in the base, why don't you take off your protective clothing?" ”

"Your living environment is not suitable for my survival, so I have to wear protective clothing." Zhou Xin replied.

"Where is it not suitable for survival, then why doesn't Chang'e have to wear it?"

"Because Chang'e is a robot, he doesn't need to breathe." Zhou Xin reluctantly continued to answer.

"Then won't we have to wear protective clothing on the spaceship in the future to live?" Ralph is like a curious baby.

"I have built you a cabin suitable for you on the ship according to your living conditions, you don't have to worry, and the environment I live in is much better than yours, maybe you will like to live in my living environment in the future." Zhou Xin continued to answer, "Forget it, Chang'e, you go and introduce our living environment to her, I still have something to talk to Sprede." ”

Ralph pulled Chang'e aside and continued to be her curious baby, Zhou Xin slowed down, "Okay, let's put aside the rumors, and now you can introduce me to the inspection of the engine in the past few days, right?" ”

Spred became serious, and he replied: "After a week of preliminary inspection, we found that a small part of the energy pipes on the periphery of this engine are a little blocked because it has not been running for a long time, and there are no other major problems other than some joints falling off, after unblocking the energy pipes and replacing a small number of joints, there should be no problem with the periphery of this engine, but-" Spred's voice was low, "The core part of the engine cannot be inspected in this way, First, the core is too precise, and general inspection cannot find problems; Second, we don't have core drawings, so some structural inspections can't be completed; The third is that our base does not have enough energy reserves, and even the engine cannot be started, so the basic trial operation inspection cannot be completed. Now I'm worried about something going wrong with the core of the engine. ”

Zhou Xin nodded, signaling that he understood, and then he then asked, "That means that the next inspection requires energy to start the engine, right?" ”

"We don't lack energy, but the form of energy we use doesn't seem to be the same, and our energy can't power your engine." Zhou Xin had a little headache.

"This will have to be solved sooner or later, otherwise how will you charge the engine when the engine is installed on the spaceship in the future." Spred said.

Zhou Xin looked at Spred, stared at it for a while, Spred understood, and he said angrily: "Don't expect that our base still has enough equipment to charge this thing, don't look at its small size, its energy consumption at full power is at least 100 times more than the energy consumption of this base, so you better figure it out yourself." ”

Zhou Xin sighed, "It looks like we still have a lot to prepare before we go......"
