Chapter 11: The City on the Ground

Although the probes have tried to avoid conflict, the two sides have inevitably collided. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, in the case of a huge difference in size, the probe was not injured at all, but the luck of the aircraft was not so good, and a slight impact caused it to be significantly deformed, and then crashed directly to the ground.

After dropping two or three aircraft, the other party seemed to see the intention of the probe, and the rest of the aircraft almost simultaneously gave up the intention of continuing to approach, and instead flew around the Voyager at a distance of more than 3,000 meters by sticking to the probe. Due to Zhou Xin's previous orders, the probe did not continue to drive away these probes who were out of range, but just followed them closely. In the meantime, a number of vehicles tried to approach again, but were unsuccessful due to the rapid response of the probes, and after several attempts, they finally gave up. Most of the aircraft retreated, and only a few remained about three kilometers away from the Voyager, apparently trying to spy on the Voyager's next moves.

"What do you think the other person will do next?" Zhou Xin asked, looking at the flying machine circling the Voyager in close proximity in the picture.

"The other party will not give up." Dart replied, "After all, Voyager is no better than a meteorite, and anyone must find a way to determine what we are." I think they should just withdraw and find a way, and I'm afraid it's not just this kind of small flying machine that will come next. ”

"What if the other side sends us more things next, or even attacks us. Are we going to stop them from coming closer? If this misunderstanding continues to expand, there is no guarantee that we will really start a war with the civilization here, and will we really have the ability to confront the entire civilization on this planet? After Dart finished speaking, Spred said in a worried tone, "And we're not here to start a war. So I think that now that things have come to this point, we should find a way to try to get in touch with this civilization and make it clear to them the purpose of our trip, and try to eliminate any conflicts that may arise in the future. ”

"That's what I thought too." Zhou Xin nodded, and then he asked, "Atlas, did the probe detect the communication signal from them during the contact with the other aircraft just now?" ”

"I didn't receive any unsolicited contact from the other party." The little girl on the screen shook her head, "But it does detect signs that the aircraft is receiving and sending signals outward." However, the contact method they used had never been seen before, so it would take some time to crack it. ”

"Is it another miscommunication?" Hearing this familiar answer, Zhou Xin smiled bitterly, "Every time you encounter a new civilization, you will always encounter the same problem. I really don't know how those civilizations with a higher level of technology than us solve the problem of communication with other civilizations. ”

"Who knows?" Speaking of this, Spred was also helpless, "In fact, many of the problems we encountered before were all focused on miscommunication, including the first time we met Dart, if we can solve this problem, we should be able to avoid a lot of misunderstandings." ”

"It's useless to think about it now." Dart continued, "We don't have a better solution because of the technical limitations. If you have this time, you might as well think about our ship. Leave the matter of contacting the other party to Atlas. ”

Dart's words alerted Zhou Xin, so he put down the flying machine that was monitoring the Voyager for the time being, and turned his attention to how to fix the ship.

To Zhou Xin's surprise, in the following day (planetary time), the other party did not make any more drastic moves except for sending more flying machines around the Voyager, and even the flying machines even crossed the line very rarely. Of course, this does not mean that Zhou Xin and the others can let their guard down, and the probe is still on guard around the Voyager.

The time soon came the next morning local time, and as soon as Zhou Xin arrived in the command module, Atlas reported two good and bad news to him.

"Brother Captain, the probes left in space have found the settlement of the planetary civilization. Unexpectedly, their city is quite difficult to find. As she spoke, the little girl released a photograph of the ground taken by a probe, which was taken of a tree-covered plain on the planet.

"Is there a city here? Did you misplace the photo? The first time he saw that photo, Zhou Xin asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, you can't see it, brother captain." The little girl smiled as a matter of course, "Of course people are not mistaken, Brother Captain, you are taking a closer look." At the same time, everyone in the command module who already knew what was going on snickered.

Since Atlas had already said so, and the others had such a reaction, Zhou Xin had no choice but to stare at the picture on the screen and observe it carefully. However, five minutes passed, and he still didn't see anything strange in the picture. Just when Zhou Xin was a little dazzled, suddenly, he saw some regular lines in the picture.

After discovering some clues, it was simple, following the few lines he had just discovered, Zhou Xin quickly found a regular outline in the forest. There is no doubt that this is the city established by the local civilization, and after finding the city, Zhou Xin was even more surprised, he really didn't expect that the whole city could be hidden in a large forest.

"W- how did they do that?" Zhou Xin asked in surprise.

"Looks like you've found out, brother captain." In the process of Zhou Xin's search, the little girl never said a word, just looked at him with a smile, and waited until he asked a question before Atlas spoke, "Don't talk about you, even people only found out by chance." After finding the city, they went through the footage sent back by the probe before, and found many cities like this in the footage. ”

"There are many more cities like this?" Zhou Xin was even more surprised, and then his first reaction was, "It's not like this in their cities, right?" ”

"At least all the cities we find on this planet right now blend in perfectly with their surroundings." Atlas replied.

"How the hell is this done?" Zhou Xin asked this question for the second time......
