Before Zhou Xin's words fell, the communication module in Christy's hand rang out. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Because it was the first time he heard the voice of the communication module receiving the message, Zhou Xin hadn't reacted at first, and he only understood when he saw Christy take the communication module in his hand to his eyes and operate it.

Immediately, his heart became excited, this was the first time that the Atlanteans had taken the initiative to contact them, and this contact might determine the Atlanteans' next attitude towards them. So he stared at the communication module in Christy's hand, waiting for the Atlantean's final decision.

At the same time, the communication module in Christie's hand lit up again. However, unlike what Zhou Xin expected, what appeared on the screen was not Prit, nor Dart, but a young figure. Judging by his eyes, it should have been a young man about Christy's age.

His appearance is very delicate, and his face still shows a trace of childishness. Seeing this young man, Zhou Xin felt very strange, he didn't think in his heart that he could represent the Atlanteans in such an important exchange. But he didn't say it either, just quietly waited for the other party's action.

Before the young man could speak, Christy exclaimed strangely, "Rust?!" Why did Grandpa Dean send you to contact us? Before the other party could answer, Christy couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, what kind of attitude does the dean's grandfather have towards them, has there been any change?" ”

"Shhhh After a while, he whispered, "I wasn't sent by Grandpa Dean." ”

Seeing his nervous look, Christy also lowered her voice, "That's what my grandfather sent you?" Seeing that he still shook his head, a thought popped up in Christy's heart, and her voice became a little louder, "Is it-?" ”

"Shhh ”。 Seeing Rust nodding, she then asked, "What did they ask you to do?" Could it be that he has any thoughts about earthlings? As she spoke, Christy looked at Zhou Xin nervously. Listening to their conversation, Zhou Xin looked puzzled, he didn't understand what the two of them were talking about at all.

"Who is he?" Zhou Xin asked.

"This—" Christy looked hesitant, struggling for a moment, before she finally spoke, "Remember what I told you about people who were interested in the ancient legacy?" Seeing Zhou Xin nodded, she continued, "Rust is one of us. ”

After Christy's explanation, Zhou Xin finally remembered that she had indeed said this before. Zhou Xin was also very curious about them, but he couldn't think of why these people would find him. Zhou Xin didn't have any prejudice against these people, so he said calmly: "It turned out to be you, I heard Christy mention you before, and when we first met, I was Zhou Xin, the captain of the Voyager. ”

Seeing Zhou Xin's attitude, Rust's cramped expression calmed down a little, "Captain Zhou Xin, I'm Rust, a member of the Seekers, and I feel very honored to meet you." There was still a hint of nervousness in his words.

"Okay, okay, don't be nervous." Zhou Xin waved his hand, and then asked straight to the point, "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Rust's voice finally calmed down completely, "Since Christy has told you about us, you should know something about us. Seeing that Zhou Xin nodded, he continued, "Then do you know our goal? ”

"Listen to Christy, aren't you looking for some ancient legacy?" Zhou Xin asked uncertainly.

"Is that all she told you?" "Did she tell you what the ancient heritage we were looking for?" ”

"Supposedly able to lead to another world?"

Ruskey nodded and explained in detail: "There is a legend among our people that after our ancestors were attacked, in order to avoid the danger of extermination, a small number of Atlanteans were left on our current planet, and we are the descendants of these Atlanteans. After a pause, seeing Zhou Xin motioning for himself to continue, he continued, "However, in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the ancestors also limited our technological level. They took away some of the key technologies and left them for us, and although they have no impact on our lives, they have trapped us dead on this damn planet. At this, Rust's face showed an angry look.

"Trapped on a planet?" Zhou Xin asked, "Don't you have hyperspace jumping technology now?" ”

"If I had, I'd still be on this damn planet?" Rust said excitedly, and suddenly he found that his voice was a little louder, so he looked around cautiously, and found that no one had noticed him, and then turned his gaze back to Zhou Xin, "The ancestors took away the hyperspace technology, including the most basic technology, and the current ability of our base is completely unable to replicate the complete hyperspace technology, even if it can, the dean will not let us study it." He said depressedly.

"That's—" Zhou Xin thought for a while, "I think this choice is quite correct." ”

"No, no, no." "I don't mean to blame the ancestors, but I don't think they should take all the hyperspace technology with them. Didn't they think about how we would flee if the enemy came? Or if they don't come back, we'll just be trapped on this planet? His tone was a little sad, "Our Atlanteans have been trapped on this planet for five thousand years, can we only be trapped on this barren planet and wait for extinction in the future?" ”

"It's a bit out of place." Zhou Xin nodded thoughtfully, "Didn't your ancestors leave you any way back?" ”

"At least I don't know." Rust shook his head, "We've visited the hosts in the base, but haven't found any way to leave the planet. ”

"What about the ancient heritage, doesn't it mean that it can lead to another world?"

"But we didn't find any specific information." "I don't know when this news came from anyone, it was circulated around the base before we were born. It is said that our ancestors did take all the hyperspace technology with them when they left, but they left us with a set of hyperspace jumping devices for us to use in times of crisis. But no one knows where this hyperspace device is, not even if it exists. ”

"A lot of people scoffed at this statement, and they all thought that it must have come from the mouth of some guy who still had good fantasies about his ancestors. But we don't think so-" Rust continued after a pause, "we think there's something real about this news that has been circulating around the base for so long. Maybe our ancestors really left us a hyperspace device, or maybe they hid a piece of hyperspace technology somewhere, or maybe there was some other way to get us out of this planet. All in all, our ancestors must have left us a legacy to use in times of crisis, and whatever that legacy may be, it is the ancient legacy we need to find. ”

"I see." Zhou Xin suddenly realized, and then he asked curiously, "Then what is the purpose of you looking for me, is it to help you find the ancient heritage?" ”

At the mention of this question, Zhou Xin saw Rust's expression become nervous again, "If you-you can-can help us with this-this, that-that-too-very-good." But-but--I-we-are now looking-finding-finding-is-there is-there is another-please-requested. ”

"Don't be so nervous." Zhou Xin comforted, "You are so nervous that it will affect the communication between us, otherwise you can wait for a while to calm down and then contact us." ”

"Don't." Hearing this, Rust forced himself to calm down, and he stammered less, "Listen—hear the dean, you—you're from another—another planet." Seeing that Zhou Xin nodded and looked at himself puzzled, he said his request, "You, can you take us - can we leave this planet?" After hearing this request, Zhou Xin showed a look of surprise, and then he hesitated, seeing Zhou Xin's hesitant look, Rust hurriedly said, "Only-as long as you can take us--we get out of here-here, I-we-will be fine--thank you, and even-let-let us work on the ship-ship." ”

"Is this planet so scary?" After listening to Rust's request, Zhou Xin asked curiously.

Suddenly, Rust was silent, and at this time, Christy mentioned next to him, "It's not that scary on the planet, it's just boring." Then, Rust continued, "You don't know how boring life is in the base, we do the same work every day, and everything has to be done according to the plan. We are not allowed to leave the base on the planet's surface unless there are special circumstances. As he spoke, he glanced at Christy, "Thanks to Christy's unauthorized departure from the base this time, many people can finally leave the base and set foot on the surface of this planet for the first time, including me." Then his voice stirred, "I'm fed up with this kind of life, we want to see more new things, and we want to live on the kind of living planet we see in the data." And to make this happen, either by the legendary ancient legacy, or by you. As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Xin with eager eyes, "Although your spaceship is not our only hope, it is our easiest hope to succeed." Rather than looking for an ancient heritage that I don't know exists, I'd better follow you out of here. If you don't have enough manpower, we can stay on your ship forever, and I think it's more interesting to follow you as you explore the universe than to live in our base. ”

After listening to Rust's words, Zhou Xin was a little moved, and his last sentence was indeed to the point. The Voyager is still very short of manpower after the addition of the Thunder Star, and a lot of work is now basically barely maintained by one or two people, and if more people join, it can indeed solve the difficulties they are currently experiencing. But as soon as Zhou Xin wanted to agree to Rust's request, he saw Christy shaking her hand vigorously at him in the blind corner that the communication module could not photograph, although he was puzzled by this, but Zhou Xin still chose to believe her, so he said perfunctorily: "This request of yours is too sudden, I need to discuss it with others before I can make a decision." Seeing Rust's disappointed look, he was still a little unbearable in his heart, so he continued to comfort: "Don't worry, it's just a routine discussion, if nothing else, they should agree." ”

Rust breathed a sigh of relief, and then said quickly, "In that case, then we are waiting for your good news." Then he glanced left and right, and said nervously, "It's been long enough to communicate, and if it takes a long time, I'll be discovered by others, so I'll be here today." By the way, Christy has our contact information, so if you make a decision, please let her know us as soon as possible. Without waiting for Zhou Xin's answer, he quickly ended the communication.

After ending this unexpected communication, Zhou Xin mentioned Christy's strange behavior just now, and he asked curiously: "Why are you shaking your hand at me just now, do you not agree with those people joining the Voyager?" ”

Christy explained, "It's not that I disagree, I just think it's a little strange. Although we believe in the existence of ancient heritage, this is the first time that we have only searched for information in the base and occasionally searched for information from artificial intelligence. ”

"Who said it was the first time, you didn't sneak out of the base to find the ancient heritage before." Zhou Xin complained.

Christy's face immediately turned red, and she explained anxiously, "That's just playfulness, playfulness, I'm not going out to find some ancient heritage." Then she said angrily, "Do you want to listen to my explanation, if you don't listen, you will pull it down." ”

"Okay, you go on." Zhou Xin raised his hands in surrender......
