Chapter 26: Zhou Xin's Decision

So, Prit didn't say anything more and just ended the communication. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After finishing the communication, Zhou Xin finally put his mind at ease, he sat down and said: "Huh--Hew is really a difficult old man to get along with, and the pressure to talk to him is really high." ”

Ralph also nodded beside him, "yes, it's so harsh, so harsh, I don't even dare to speak next to me." ”

Christy felt a little embarrassed by the side, and she opened her mouth to explain, "Actually--Grandpa Dean is usually very amiable, but to you-" She didn't know how to explain it.

"Alright, alright." Zhou Xin waved his hand, "I didn't mean to accuse Grandpa Prit, I also understand his attitude towards us now, just like your attitude towards us at the beginning, so we have to change his mind first." At this point, he suddenly remembered, "Of course, until then, you still have to send your mother back first." ”

Seeing the mention of her mother, Christy's expression also changed, her face was full of gratitude, "Thank you so much this time, for doing so much for my mother, and losing so many robots, I really don't know how to thank you." ”

"Don't say that." Hearing Christy's words of gratitude, Zhou Xin became embarrassed, "After all, your mother's current situation is caused by us, and I already feel very grateful if you don't blame us, how can I still ask for your gratitude." ”

"But at least let me understand your thoughts, judging from your attitude of saving my mother, you really want to communicate with us, otherwise you just leave me alone, why bother to save my mother." Christy said what was in her heart, "Actually, after watching that video at the beginning, I was just as skeptical as the dean's grandfather, and it wasn't until you started to find a way to contact the base that I began to gradually believe you, and what happened later proved that my idea was not wrong, you are indeed a friendly civilization." ”

"You've won a prize." Zhou Xin was even more embarrassed, "It's just a gesture." ”

"Let's put this kind of praise aside for now." Spred pulled back the subject, "We're going to send your mother back to the ground." ”

"That's right." Hearing Spred's reminder, Zhou Xin finally returned to the previous topic, and his tone began to become serious, "Do we need to make any preparations before sending your mother back to the ground?" ”

"As long as we can ensure that her body is in an environment that can sustain our lives, there are no other requirements, and the rest of the work can be done by our repair module."

"That's it?" Zhou Xin felt a little incredible.

"That's it."

Speaking of which, suddenly, the communication module in Christy's hand rang again, and Zhou Xin's attention suddenly focused on her hand.

Christy picked up the communication module and glanced at it, then looked up and said to Zhou Xin: "It's the news from the dean's grandfather, he sent the specific time and location." Then she said a time and place.

Zhou Xin understood the time, but the information about the location seemed to be deviated due to the different positioning standards used by the two civilizations, so Zhou Xin hurriedly asked the Voyager to call up the topographic map of the planet's surface, and then asked Christy to mark the specific location on the map.

Seeing the location marked by Christy on the topographic map, Spred frowned, the place that Prit chose was one of the most complex areas on the frozen planet, not only does it have the highest mountain on the planet, but there is also a huge canyon between the two peaks, and there are countless ice cracks all over the periphery of the peaks, which can basically be seen in this place. In addition to these obvious terrain that can be seen, there are also many invisible cracks and ice caves hidden here under the snow cover, and Zhou Xin and his team also lost a lot of detectors when they first investigated this place.

"Why did you choose such a dangerous place for the handover?" Spred frowned and asked, "Isn't this asking for trouble?" ”

"yes, this place is a little too dangerous, what if something happens." Ralph was also a little anxious.

Zhou Xin sighed, "It seems that Prit and they don't believe us at all, choosing this complex terrain can hide their whereabouts very well, even if we look at them from the satellite, it is impossible to find their traces." Moreover, we certainly do not know as much about this planet as they do, and on this terrain, this familiar advantage is infinitely magnified. He then pointed to the handover on the screen and continued, "At the same time, they chose to do the handover at the bottom of this canyon so that they would also have an offensive advantage." Once they find out that we are acting abnormally, they can attack and retreat, which is really a good place for tactics. ”

After listening to Zhou Xin's explanation, Spred and they finally understood, while Christy showed an apologetic look, and she whispered to Zhou Xin: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Grandpa Dean had this kind of intention in choosing this place, they were really too much." Her tone was angry, "Otherwise, I'll let them change places." ”

"Forget it, I think this place is pretty good." Zhou Xin thought for a while and said, "This is Prit's test for us, if we choose to change places, doesn't it mean that we have thoughts about them." On the contrary, agreeing to the place they have chosen can also show them that we are friendly. ”

"But it's so unfair to you." Christy was a little indignant.

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Xin comforted him for a moment and continued, "Christy, you reply like this, we agree to hand over in this place, but since we are not very familiar with the terrain of this place, we need your side to guide us when we land." ”

Seeing that Zhou Xin insisted on her idea, Christy had no choice but to reply to the opposite side of the communication module, and after a while, she raised her head and said, "Okay, the other party has confirmed our idea, but are you sure you won't change your mind?" ”

Zhou Xin shook his head, "I've already decided, let's make preparations next." After a pause, he made a surprising decision, "To show our sincerity, this time I decided to go down myself." ”

Before Zhou Xin's words fell, the Voyager directly objected: "Your Excellency, this decision of yours is too dangerous, and this ship cannot let you take this risk without determining whether the Atlanteans are friends or foes." ”

Spred also said next to him: "Indeed, it is very risky for you to do this, just now you yourself were saying that the Atlanteans did not believe you, and now you choose to go down by yourself, what do you think." ”

"Yes, yes, let Chang'e go down, what do you do yourself." Ralph was also in a hurry at the side.

Even Christy disagreed with this idea, "Although I don't think Grandpa Dean will do anything to you, but considering the overall situation, I also think it's better for you to let the others go down." ”

"Look, look, even Sister Christy thinks you shouldn't go down, so you better go somebody." Ralph said again in a hurry.

Sighing slightly, Zhou Xin explained: "I have my own reasons for doing this. First of all, if I go down in person, I will show our sincerity to the Atlanteans and dispel their wariness. Secondly, do you think there is a better fit on the ship than me? Sprede, you're Thunderstar after all, and I can't let you take that risk. And the Chang'e that Ralph just said is even worse, do you think that with the technology of the Atlanteans, you will not be able to tell that it is a robot? Do you think it's appropriate for robots to take the lead in meeting a civilization that clearly hates robots? In this way, the only people who are suitable to go down are me and Christy. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Xin glanced at Christie, "If Christy is allowed to go down, won't it make the Atlanteans look down on us, making them feel that we don't have the courage to face them, and can only rely on Christy to communicate with them." And, if Christy were the only one to go down, don't you think they would have forced her to stay? In this case, how will the next communication continue? ”

Zhou Xin paused for a moment, asking Spred to digest what he said, and then he continued: "In this way, isn't it just me who is the most suitable person to go down now? Could you have come up with a better candidate? ”

"But—" Christy tried to salvage something.

"Don't persuade me." Zhou Xin directly interrupted her, "Either you propose a better candidate, or I will be the only one to go down." ”

"Otherwise, let me go down." Spred hesitated.

"Impossible." Zhou Xin refused without hesitation, "You are not from the earth, and you will inevitably encounter obstacles when communicating with the Atlanteans. Moreover, it was my decision to choose to communicate with the Atlanteans, and I can't let you take that risk. Then he said with a final word, "You don't say anything else, there is not much time left for us, so we have decided to make preparations." Voyager, so do you, don't stop me anymore, or I'll have to give up on this handover. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xin insisted on his decision, everyone had no choice but to disperse and start preparations, and the Voyager seemed to be persuaded by Zhou Xin, and it did not raise any objections after Zhou Xin finished speaking.

Although they said they were prepared, there was nothing they needed to prepare. Although there is enough space for a hospital bed on the engineering ship, there is no life-sustaining system installed in these spaces, after all, the engineering ship is mainly designed for engineering robots. The small shuttle has a life-sustaining system, but there is simply no room for a hospital bed. Zhou Xin had no choice but to temporarily install a life-sustaining system on the engineering ship as he had done before when he brought back the Thunder Star people from the Thunder Star.

With the engineering robots working overtime, the life-sustaining system was finally installed on time. With the help of robots, they carefully moved Christy's mother and her hospital bed to a converted engineering ship. Now, Zhou Xin, who is ready, is standing at the door of the engineering ship and preparing to leave. Just in case, Zhou Xin refused the request to be accompanied by others. He only brought a few necessary robots, and even two combat robots.

"It's useless to bring more combat robots, I'm not going down this time to fight, and even if there is a fight, we can't beat the Atlanteans. Actually, if it weren't for the Voyager's insistence that I take the Battledroids, I wouldn't even want to take these two Battledroids. These are Zhou Xin's exact words.

Standing at the door of the engineering cabin, Zhou Xin looked at Spred who was looking at him with concern, and he opened his mouth to comfort: "You don't have to worry, this mission will not be very dangerous, and the Atlanteans will not do anything to me." ”

Spred said worriedly, "But who knows what the Atlanteans will think, maybe they did it on the spur of the moment, or maybe this operation was originally their conspiracy." Suddenly, he remembered that there was another Atlantean next to him, and he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Christy glanced at Spred, but she didn't say anything, and then she turned her gaze back to Zhou Xin, "My mother will be handed over to you." She said calmly, "Although I believe that Grandpa Dean will not treat you badly, it is inevitable that other people will be unfavorable to you, so you still have to be careful." After saying this, she reluctantly retreated into the crowd.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Zhou Xin had no choice but to speak, "Okay, okay, don't you just go down and hand over someone, what do you have to worry about, maybe I'll be able to catch dinner when I come back soon." Moreover, it's not that we can't communicate through the communicator, and we do the same thing as life and death. Then he glanced at the time, "Alright, it's not too early, it's time for me to go, and you can wait for my good news on the Voyager." After saying that, he didn't look at the reactions of the others, and walked into the engineering ship without looking back.

Two hours later, Zhou Xin, who was sitting in the wheelhouse, saw that the engineering ship was approaching its destination, and Zhou Xin could even see the appearance of the destination point on the screen. Next, the engineering ship will pass through a narrow valley composed of two mountains, and since there is no detailed topography of this place, Zhou Xin did not let the engineering ship act rashly. At this moment, Christy, who kept in touch with Zhou Xin at all times, came with a new message......
