Chapter 8: Soberness

Zhou Xin returned to the command cabin, and Spred asked about the Atlantean with concern, and Zhou Xin truthfully told him what happened in the medical cabin. When www.biquge.info heard that Ralph had volunteered to stay and take care of the Atlantean, Spred couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Isn't there anything wrong with leaving her alone to take care of that Atlantean?" Spred hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but ask.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Zhou Xin hesitated for a moment and replied, "I put away anything in that room that could be used as a weapon, without a weapon, that Atlantean should not have made any waves." Then he saw Spred's worried eyes, and Zhou Xin continued to comfort, "Moreover, I also left a robot at the door to help, if something happens, the robot can also support and notify us as soon as possible." ”

After listening to Zhou's words, Spred finally calmed down a little, and he sat back in his seat and began to work.

More than three hours later, Zhou Xin temporarily finished reading the report left for him by the Voyager. At this point, he couldn't help but worry about Ralph, so he explained to Spred, and left the command cabin and went back to the room specially prepared for the Atlanteans.

Coming to the door of the room, Zhou Xin saw a robot standing there quietly, Zhou Xin walked to the robot on standby, asked it about the situation in the previous few hours, and after getting a reply that everything was normal with the robot, Zhou Xin turned his head to look inside the room.

Through the peephole in the door, Zhou Xin saw that the Atlantean was still in a coma, and Ralph, she was sitting on the chair next to the bed, she was leaning on the armrest with one hand supporting her chin, her head slightly to the side, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Zhou Xin opened the door and walked to the bed, and until he walked to the bed, Ralph still did not wake up, Zhou Xin first carefully observed the condition of the Atlantean, and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he reached out and patted Ralph on the shoulder.

After two pats, Zhou Xin found that she still showed no signs of waking up, so he increased his strength a little. Just when Zhou Xin was filming this time, Ralph was taken aback, she jumped up from her seat at once, and said, "Are you finally awake?" I've been waiting here for a long time. ”

Looking at Ralph, who didn't seem to be awake yet, Zhou Xin couldn't cry or laugh a little, so he had to gently pat Ralph's shoulder again, "It's me." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Ralph seemed to come to her senses, she rubbed her eyes, "It's Uncle Captain, why are you here, it really scared me." She complained.

"Didn't you swear to take care of her? How did I fall asleep instead? Zhou Xin looked at her and said helplessly.

"It's not too boring." Ralph said a little embarrassed, "I looked here for a long time, and I found that she showed no signs of coming to her senses, and there was nothing to play here. So—"

"Forget it." Zhou Xin said, "There is nothing to take care of, you have to stay." I think you'd better go out and play, I'll just let a robot watch this Atlantean. ”

However, what Zhou Xin didn't expect was that Ralph actually shook his head, "I said that I would take care of her, Uncle Captain, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, and I'll let you know when she wakes up." ”

Zhou Xin suddenly became curious, and he asked, "What's going on today, it's rare to see you so concerned about one thing." Why did you suddenly care about this Atlantean? ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Ralph was silent for a moment, and waited for a long time before a word popped out of her mouth, "loneliness". Then she showed a reminiscent expression, and Zhou Xin looked at her quietly beside her, and after a while, she spoke again, but with a hint of sadness in her tone, "My mother left me when I was very young, and basically from the beginning of my understanding, I only lived with my father. But when I was young, my father was very busy every day, and even during the holidays, he had to work at the graduate school, and I basically stayed at home alone except for school, and I could see my father for a long time. After a pause, she continued, "When I was in the medical chamber, I saw loneliness in the eyes of this Atlantean, exactly the same way I looked when I was a child. That's why I want to be by her side, and I want to be her friend......"

After listening to Ralph's words, Zhou Xin touched Ralph's head, "I understand, since you think so, then this Atlantean will be handed over to you, I hope you can really become her good friend." Zhou Xin sighed slightly, "Actually, I also want to be friends with her, but now the hostile thing is that she is not me." Then he said puzzledly, "We don't have a grudge against the Atlanteans, we don't even see each other for the first time, but why is this Atlantean so hostile to us after waking up?" It stands to reason that we saved her, not to mention gratitude, at least there should still be some favor, but why is her reaction so strange. I can't figure it out. He thought for a moment, then said to himself, "It seems that we have to solve the communication problem first, otherwise there will be no communication at all." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's self-talk, Ralph was puzzled, "Isn't there a translator?" Isn't that what you rely on to understand our language? Can't even translators understand the language of the Atlanteans? ”

Hearing Ralph's question, Zhou Xin replied with a wry smile, "There are not enough samples, the translator can analyze your language because we found a lot of text information on your planet at the beginning, and then pieced it together little by little based on these text messages." As for the Atlanteans, apart from a complete video found in the underground base, and an article that we don't understand at all, we haven't found any other language samples of them, and with such little language information, it is impossible for the Voyager to analyze the meaning of what they are saying. ”

"What then?" Ralph asked anxiously, "Wouldn't that make it impossible to communicate with this Atlantean at all?" ”

"Then it's up to her." Zhou Xin turned his head to look at the Atlantean who was still unconscious on the bed, "Originally, I planned to have a simple communication with her when she woke up, and then analyze the meaning of the Atlantean language from what she said, but-" Zhou Xin said worriedly, "Looking at the previous situation, I think even if she wakes up now, it will be impossible to complete the basic communication." ”

After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Ralph thought for a while, "According to what you mean, as long as you find a way to make her keep talking, the translator can analyze the language of the Atlanteans from it?" ”

Zhou Xin shook his head slightly, "It's not enough to just keep talking, you have to let her say a lot of different things, and just talking is not enough, we also have to let her use the Atlantean language to identify various objects in life, in fact, to put it simply, it's the same as when you were a child when you knew how to read." Zhou Xin explained to Ralph, "So it's actually quite troublesome to analyze a language, and it needs the Atlantean to cooperate well, but it seems that she doesn't want to cooperate well." ”

Ralph nodded to show that she understood, and then she patted her chest, "Then leave this matter to me, I will definitely let her cooperate well." ”

"I hope so." Zhou Xin muttered to himself, and then he explained to Ralph, "Just let this Atlantean speak, no matter what she says, the translator on your body will automatically upload her words to the Voyager host for analysis, when the translator can automatically translate your words into Atlantea, it means that the analysis of their language is complete." ”

"Okay, okay, I see." After listening to Zhou Xin's words, Ralph pushed him towards the door with force, "Uncle Captain, if you have something to do, go and get busy first, I can do it alone here." ”

Pushed by Ralph towards the door, Zhou Xin still explained uneasily, "Pay attention to safety when communicating with that Atlantean, and shout loudly if there is anything wrong, I have arranged a robot at the door." ”

"Got it, got it," Ralph pushed Zhou Xin to the door, "I'm not a child anymore, I'll take care of myself." ”

"But that Atlantean is now unknown to me."

"It's okay, I think she should be a good person." Ralph said.

"Okay." Zhou Xin sighed, then raised his feet and prepared to walk out of the room. At that moment, he heard a loud noise in the room, and after hearing the loud noise, he hurriedly turned his head to look in the direction of the hospital bed.

He saw that the Atlantean in the hospital bed woke up again, and she was curled up in the corner of the hospital bed as she had been in the medical pod, her expression nervous, and she shook her head anxiously and looked around. Then she seemed to notice something, and she hurriedly jumped out of bed, and quickly walked to the table, and took all the cups on the table in her hand, and then he took the cups and quickly retracted them back into the corner of the bed.

Seeing the Atlantean man's rapid movements, Zhou Xin was a little dumbfounded, watching her hide in the corner with a bunch of cups, and a look of vigilance on her face, Zhou Xin couldn't help but laugh and cry. Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then he walked around Ralph in front of him and walked towards the hospital bed.

At the moment when Zhou Xin bypassed Ralph, the Atlantean also spotted him, and she immediately turned her face in Zhou Xin's direction, still holding a cup in her hand, she shouted a warning in her mouth, and then made a gesture of throwing the cup.

Before Zhou Xin could take two steps forward with his hands raised, the cup flew out of the Atlantean's hand and headed towards Zhou Xin, but Zhou Xin easily dodged it. It wasn't until he dodged the cup that he realized that the room was much smaller than the medical cabin, so he hurriedly stopped, and then stared at the Atlantean closely, and she also stared at Zhou Xin fiercely in a fierce posture, and the situation seemed to be at an impasse again.

Just when Zhou Xin thought that the situation was about to stalemate like in the medical room before, he suddenly heard a strange sound. The sound wasn't loud, and it seemed to be coming from the direction of the hospital bed. Zhou Xin carefully searched for the source of the voice, and after a while, he found that the voice seemed to come from the Atlantean person.

At the same time as this voice came out, the Atlantean's face changed instantly, and she seemed to lose her strength suddenly with a nervous expression. She flattened her mouth, and the cup he held in her hand was also placed on the bed, she subconsciously stretched out her other hand and touched her stomach, seeing her movements, Zhou Xin laughed all of a sudden, hearing Zhou Xin's laughter, the Atlantean instantly became nervous again, she picked up the cup she had just put down again, and then pointed at Zhou Xin again.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Zhou Xin said lightly, and then he exited the room, walked to the door and said a few words to the robot waiting at the door, and he returned to the room, at this time, the Atlantean once again put down the cup in his hand, where Zhou Xin was standing before, Ralph was looking at her with a concerned face.

"What's wrong with her?" Ralph asked.

"Didn't you see her move?" Zhou Xin asked suspiciously, "I think he should be hungry." ”

Ralph complained, "How can you see it just in the way?" Then she said, "Then hurry up and get her something to eat." ”

"Don't worry, I'll be here in a while, I just went out and asked the robot to get something to eat." As soon as Zhou Xin's words fell, the robot walked through the door, holding a piece of food in its hand.

Zhou Xin was just about to turn his head to take the thing in the robot's hand, the Atlantean behind him suddenly screamed, Zhou Xinli suddenly felt bad, he subconsciously squatted down, and at the moment when he squatted down, something flew quickly over his head and flew towards the robot.

But fortunately, the robot's reaction was not comparable to Zhou Xin's, and its free hand moved slightly, and it caught the flying cup.

Zhou Xin, who squatted down, immediately turned his gaze back to the hospital bed, and the Atlantean on the hospital bed seemed to lose strength after throwing the cup, she collapsed on the hospital bed, but this time she was not unconscious, but stared behind Zhou Xin with a fierce gaze, Zhou Xin looked at her in confusion, and found that the target she was staring at was the robot behind him, he felt very puzzled, but he still stood up and took the food from the robot's hand, and then motioned for the robot to go out. Just as the robot walked out, the Atlantean on the hospital bed softened her gaze a little, but the target she was now staring at became Zhou Xin.

Zhou Xin looked at the food in his hand, and then at the Atlantean, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed......
