Chapter 16: The Storm
"Still can't parse the other party's signal?" Another day passed, and Zhou Xin asked with a frown. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Brother Captain, people can't do it." Atlas's face was not very good at this time, "Although people have summarized some patterns from the large number of signals sent by the other party, because there is no text from them as a comparison, there is no way to analyze the specific meaning of the signal." Then her tone looked a little crazy, "What the hell, the probes have searched so many places, how can they not find the language used by this civilization?" ”
"You say—" Hearing the little girl's words, Spred thought of another aspect, and said thoughtfully, "Is it also because of this that the other party has no way to understand our contact signal?" ”
Spred's words woke up the dreamer, and Zhou Xin couldn't help patting his head, "Yes, I didn't expect that the other party might have the same problem as us." ”
"Now that we know the key, is there a way to fix it?" Dart asked.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Xin replied: "Since we can't successfully communicate with this civilization, why don't we pin our hopes on each other?" Think about it, can you send them some information in our language and script, and then see if the other party can find a way to contact us. ”
"Now it seems that this is the only way to go." Spred said helplessly, "Although in this way, the initiative of contact falls on the other party, but who told us that we don't have this ability." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Xin sighed, "If only there was no language barrier between you and a strange civilization, then the first communication would not be so troublesome." It would be nice to be able to find a more advanced method of communication than the written word. ”
"The idea is good, but it's completely unrealistic." Spred commented, and he quickly continued, "Okay, let's not discuss this pointless issue for now, let's find a way to communicate with the other party smoothly." ”
"Hmm." Zhou Xin nodded, and then ordered, "Voyager, let the probe send some of our language and text materials to the other party now." From the simplest enlightenment literacy to some classic classics, text and audio-visual materials must be included, and the playback tools of audio-visual materials must use the kind of operation fool, and they can also be played automatically. ”
"At the beginning, the amount of information should not be too large, as long as it can give the other party a preliminary understanding of our language and writing." Spred reminded.
"Understood."
Ten minutes later, a special probe departed from the Voyager. Below it hung a small box one meter square, which contained all kinds of documents and materials that Zhou Xin and the others had confessed, and flew towards the group of people gathered on the ground on the other side. But what Zhou Xin didn't expect was that it was precisely because of their move that it caused a small storm below.
The probe with the box on it had not been far from the Voyager before it caught the attention of the other party. Quite a few people stepped out from behind the massive signal transmitter and looked at the particular detector with curiosity. But somehow, as the probe crossed the centerline between the two sides and continued to fly straight towards each other, some of the crowd looked angry, and after a few seconds, most of the others showed terrified faces. Suddenly, one of the people in the crowd ran to a hovercar parked nearby, and not long after he got inside, a stubby cylindrical object was fired from the tubular device mounted on the car. Before they could react to what it was, the cylindrical object hit the detector in an instant, and then exploded. In the eyes of everyone, the probe with the box turned into a pile of debris in the air and scattered on the ground.
It wasn't until most of the debris fell to the ground that Zhou Xin and the others finally realized what had happened. However, before they could show their surprise, something even more unbelievable had happened.
On the ground, the hovercars that had been guarding around the Voyager launched an attack on the Voyager almost simultaneously within a minute of the probe's destruction. Although the first wave of projectiles launched from the hovercraft was not aimed at the Voyager itself, it landed less than a hundred meters away from the spacecraft and exploded. However, the battle robots, which had been preparing for battle according to Zhou Xin's instructions a long time ago, saw it as an attack on the Voyager, and they came out of the shadow area of the Voyager one after another, rushed towards each other, and launched an attack.
Seeing the appearance of the battle robot, the other party does not seem to be ready for real battle. They seemed to be stunned until the robot crossed the midline between the two sides, and a part of the hovercar began to attack the robot. This wave of attacks directly destroyed many of the combat robots, but it did not stop them from charging, and the rest of the robots continued to rush towards the defense line built by the hovercar. Seeing that the hovercar was about to reach the effective attack distance of the combat robots, at this moment, in the fierce artillery fire of the opponent, all the charging robots suddenly stopped. In the next moment, it was the other party's turn to be surprised, and in everyone's eyes, the robots on the battlefield did not care about the destroyed companions around them at all, but turned around and retreated at the same time. The attack launched by the opposing civilization slowly stopped for a short time after the robot retreated. Soon, silence returned to the surroundings of the Voyager, leaving only craters and damaged robots on the ground.
At the same time, inside the command compartment of the Voyager.
It wasn't until the first wave of the opponent's attack exploded around the Voyager that Zhou Xin finally reacted.
"What are they trying to do?!" Zhou Xin asked loudly with a tone of mixed anger, "Why did you suddenly attack our probe, and why did you attack us?" Not only him, but many people in the command cabin also showed surprised expressions at the same time.
"If you didn't guess wrong, it must have caused the other party to misunderstand by our previous actions." Dart immediately thought of the reason, he quickly recalled all the previous actions, and then said in a skeptical tone, "Could it be the ...... of the probe transporting the data?" ”
