Chapter XVIII The Third Kind of Contact—Contact

"Then please take us in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info," Zhou Xin said.

"Before I take you inside, can you please explain why you are breaking our gate?" Ralph's face turned to the shard of the gate, and he said in a strange tone, "Is it true that opening the gate is your race's unique way of greeting?" Thank you for seeing the news and coming to our rescue, but don't open the door in this way. This - a broken gate will cause us a problem, and with the material of this gate, it will take us a long time to repair it. ”

"Well—" Although Zhou Xin knew that Ralph couldn't see it, he still scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's not that there is no contact method for you, we have tried many ways to contact you, but you have not responded, there is no way, we can only use some rough means." ”

"Huh?" Ralph was a little puzzled, "Didn't the director leave the coordinates and contact information of this place in that video?" You know the coordinates, how can you not know our contact information here? ”

"Contact? Do you have a contact information? The latter sentence Zhou Xin said to the Voyager.

"At the end of the video, there is an unidentified signal, but the ship did not find a way to decode, so it was deleted as garbled, and now it seems that it should be that signal. But without a decoding method, there is no way to contact them with that signal alone. The Voyager explained.

Zhou Xin told Ralph about the Voyager's explanation.

"That's a universal channel, how could you not know that?" He was a little confused, he paused for a moment, and then reacted, "No, you're not from the planet, you, you're aliens!" There was excitement in his tone.

"It's a bit long." Zhou Xin had a headache, "I didn't react until now." ”

"Are you really aliens?" Ralph asked excitedly, "You didn't say you were aliens. ”

"This—" Zhou Xin replied helplessly, "I also know our appearance, it's completely different from you, okay?" ”

Ralph took a few steps forward and approached Chang'e.

"What are you going to do?" Chang'e took a step back and warned.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The visual range of our race is a bit close. Ralph explained, and after a while, he said in surprise, "Eh~eh~, why is your voice different?" ”

"Well, standing in front of you is my lieutenant, and I'm the captain of the Voyager. Due to some special reasons, I can only communicate with you through Chang'e, and what you heard just now is Chang'e's own voice. Zhou Xin continued to explain helplessly.

"Oh, oh - that's it." Ralph suddenly realized, "I thought that each individual of your race could make two sounds." ”

"That's why there is such a strange race."

"It's not surprising that aliens have any strange characteristics." Ralph said solemnly, "That's what the director said. ”

"It makes sense to say that." Zhou Xin was a little speechless.

"Of course, what the director said is very reasonable." Ralph sighed with a hint of pride, "He's the most knowledgeable man in our institute. ”

While Ralph was praising their captain, Zhou Xin reluctantly interrupted: "This--we'll know in a moment whether your director is knowledgeable or not, I think--it's not very good to talk in this place all the time, shouldn't you take us in?" ”

"That's right, I'm here to take you in." Ralph wanted to pat his head, but his hand hit his helmet and made a bangbang sound, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited to meet an alien for the first time, and you should be in this mood when you meet an alien for the first time." We searched for a long time and didn't find an alien, but I didn't expect to meet one in this situation, and my luck was really good. He continued to babble.

"Actually—" Zhou Xin said weakly, "it's also the first time we've encountered aliens. ”

"Huh!" Ralph said in amazement, "We are really fateful, is it the first time you have encountered aliens?" How do you feel, are you as excited as I am? Is this how it is when aliens are excited? It doesn't look like we do. ”

"Actually, we're not that excited." Zhou Xin was a little helpless.

"What, you're not excited?! This is the first time I have encountered aliens, a historic moment! How can you not get excited! Don't you have this feeling of excitement? Uh-huh! It must be like this! Ralph said excitedly, "This alien doesn't get excited about this feeling, this is a new message, and I'm going to record it." ”

"Hey, hey-" Zhou Xin patted his head helplessly, "I can't keep up with your divergent topic." ”

Ralph continued to babble on.

"By the way—can we go in now?" Zhou Xin interrupted.

"Oooh. Ok Ok. Ralph paused, "I'll take you inside." ”

Chang'e began to walk towards the gap, followed by several robots.

"Wait." Ralph stopped.

"What's wrong again." Zhou Xin was a little helpless.

"This—" Ralph scratched his helmet, "the director said that for safety, he wanted you to send up to three people inside. ”

"Are you sure your director ever said something like that?" Zhou Xin was a little skeptical, "If you meet your clan, can you only enter three?" ”

"When, of course." Ralph stammered, "No, whoever it is, you can only go in first, and when you understand the situation, you can let all of you in." ”

Zhou Xin patted his head with a headache and said to himself, "You can know that this is fake, okay, this is obviously added temporarily." Then he said to the communicator, "Okay, okay, let's go in with three of us." ”

"Whew-" Zhou Xin heard a sigh of relief coming from his helmet, and Ralph continued, "Then please decide on the next person and then follow me in." ”

Zhou Xin thought for a while, "Let's go to Chang'e, and then go with an engineering robot and a detection robot, and the other robots are waiting outside." ”

Ralph looked at Chang'e, then at the two robots that came out, and said excitedly: "Then come with me, it's an honor to be your guide." Then Zhou Xin vaguely heard, "The annals of history, hehe, are going to be recorded in the annals of history." ”

"What annals?" Zhou Xin asked strangely.

"No, nothing," Ralph was taken aback, "please, please come with me." Then he walked into the gap. Then, Chang'e and the two robots followed him into the gap.

Through the gap, Zhou Xin saw a passage that was the same as the front of the shelter, the difference was that the oblate object on the wall of this passage emitted a faint white light, Zhou Xin asked the robot to turn off its own lights, and the passage suddenly dimmed.

"Is it so dark where you live?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Ahh Ralph seemed to be thinking about his own business, and was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "It's not very dim, we usually do this." And the energy in the base is not very sufficient, usually no one comes to this passage, and usually the lights are not even turned on. ”

After walking about 30 meters through the passage, they came to a large gate.

"Director, director, I'll bring them back, open the door quickly." Ralph shouted at the door.

"Poof." Zhou Xin laughed, and he thought in his heart, "How can we give people the feeling of opening the door with sesame seeds, we are not Alibaba." ”

"What are you laughing at?" Ralph heard the laughter.

"No, nothing, something funny suddenly came to mind." Zhou Xin covered up embarrassedly.

"Alright, please stand still, the door will open in a moment."

After a while, Zhou Xin heard a slight mechanical sound, and then the door vibrated slightly.

Ralph was still there, explaining, "This door hasn't been opened in months, and even I just came out of the small door, and I opened it today to welcome you. Please take it easy, this door opens a bit loudly. Eh, uh-"

As Ralph explained, a crack had opened in the door, and then Zhou Xin heard a sharp whistling sound coming from the communicator. He thought it strange at first, but when he reacted, Ralph had been blown up by a strong storm, and Chang'e quickly grabbed him.

"Ahh

Zhou Xin patted his head and remembered that the passage had been filled with gas, and the people inside thought that there was no air outside and pumped the gas inside the door.

The whistling continued for a while before stopping, and it seemed that the air inside and outside had reached equilibrium, and Chang'e put Ralph down.

"Why, how can there be air outside." Ralph was a little striking.

"Nonsense." Zhou Xin rolled his eyes and said weakly, "Otherwise, how did you hear my voice, I thought you knew, didn't you notice that there was air outside when you came out just now?" ”

"This-we thought it was a new technology you had for sound transmission." Ralph replied embarrassedly, "As for not finding it when I came out, it's not because I was too excited to see the rescue." ”

Zhou Xin was a little speechless, "Okay, forget it, you can go in now." ”

"But, it's okay, please come in with me."

Walking into the half-open door, Zhou Xin saw that behind the door was a large room, which was about the size of a four-car garage. In addition to the door that Chang'e and the others had walked into, there was another door on the opposite side of the room, which was still tightly closed, and the furnishings in the room had been blown around because of the strong wind just now. While Zhou Xin was observing, he heard a panicked sound from the other end of the communication equipment in the room.

"What's going on, there's still air outside." "I'll just say, how can there be a new technology that can spread sound in the air." "Could it be that the surface of the planet is still normal? Is there something wrong with our detector? "Ralph, this kid, won't tell us this kind of news when he goes out."

Zhou Xin was a little speechless, "Didn't you bring something like a communicator?" He asked Ralph.

"Yes, yes." Ralph was a little embarrassed, "But the communicator can't detect the air outside. ”

"So the main reason is because you didn't find out?" Zhou Xin teased.

"Surprise." Ralph replied awkwardly.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Zhou Xin, who had had enough of playing, changed the topic, "Anyway, if I speak now, can the people above hear it?" ”

"Yes, yes, but please be louder."

"Ahem, I said...... Have you forgotten something? Zhou Xin said loudly.

Cacophony continued to be heard over the communicator.

"Hey-hey-" Zhou Xin shouted.

"Is someone calling us?" "I heard that, too." "Someone seems to be calling us." The sound of conversation continued over the communicator. "Ahh Those aliens are still waiting for us to reply. At this time, one of the men exclaimed. At this time, the noise on the other side of the communicator finally stopped, and after a moment of silence, a person's voice came from the communicator.

"Ahem, hello humans from aliens, welcome to Base Kilo, I'm Spred, the head of this base." "I'm Renard." "I'm Raymond." "I'm—" "Shut up! ”

"I'm sorry." Spred's voice was a little embarrassed, "It's the first time my researchers have encountered aliens, and they're a little excited. "Aliens, these are living aliens." "What do aliens look like, let me see if they have two mouths." "Shut up!"

"I can already see your excitement." Zhou Xin glanced at Ralph next to Chang'e, "There's a living example here, but-" Looking at the mess around, "Is it a clean place and we'll talk slowly, or do you think this place is one of your characteristics?" ”

"Huh? Ahh However, before you come in, please undergo a check-up, please rest assured, it is just a routine check-up to prevent any harmful substances from harming our health, please understand. ”

"Understand, understand, understand." At the same time, Zhou thought confidently, "I can finally go in." ”

The door behind Chang'e slowly closed, and after a while, the front door slowly opened, and behind the gate, there were several staff members wearing protective suits, and under their guidance, Chang'e and them walked to a small room.

In the room, Zhou Xin saw a faint purple light all around, and after a while, the purple light began to become stronger.

"It's ultraviolet light." The probe robot said.

After a while, the strong purple light weakened, and Zhou Xin thought it was over, but the detection robot sent out another prompt: "X-ray." ”

After a while, a voice came from outside the room: "Alright, the inspection is complete, you can come out." ”

Chang'e and they walked out of the small room......
