"What do you mean by all those harsh environments? Do you know? ”

Aina nodded, "I've seen it once, but at first glance, those places are no different from the outskirts of the city, except that there is more garbage, and even the only road that can pass is blocked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info but—" she paused, "but I heard from the adults that there was an invisible danger in those places, in addition to the large amount of garbage. If you live in it for a long time, you will inexplicably suffer from various diseases, and the longer you live, the higher the probability of getting sick. ”

While listening to the little girl's description, Zhou Xin thought about it, and after she finished speaking, an uncertain thought appeared in Zhou Xinxin, and he continued to ask: "Then apart from you, what if other animals go in?" ”

"The result is similar." The little girl replied, and she added, "And the closer they are to the center, the faster and more likely they are to get sick." In order to warn everyone not to rush into those dangerous areas, the government also deliberately tried to use small animals, and made a documentary for us to see. At this, Aina's face showed a look of fear, "It didn't take long for the animals to be sent in and they began to show all sorts of strange symptoms—the fur suddenly fell off in a large area, and the exposed skin began to show burn marks. If you go further inside, their seven orifices will begin to bleed inexplicably, and even blood will flow out of their skin, and white foam will flow from the corners of their mouths. Eventually, the animals will begin to convulse, fall unconscious, and die after a while. ”

"Radiation sickness, brother captain, it's a symptom of radiation sickness." After listening to Aina's description, Zhou Xinzhong had just confirmed the idea when Atlas's voice rang out.

Zhou Xin nodded, and then said his conclusion, "It seems that the harsh environment does not refer to the garbage all over the ground, but to the high-intensity radiation. Then he continued to ask the little girl, "How much of your continent does this harsh environment you are talking about?" ”

"Not much." Aina replied in a normal tone, but the answer she gave was surprising again, "It's about a tenth of the continent, and the other two-tenths are similar, but the symptoms are slightly milder in those areas." ”

"Is it about 30% of the entire continent?" Zhou Xin's brows furrowed, "So even if that's the case, isn't your government aware of the danger inside?" ”

"What's at stake?" The little girl still doesn't know, "Adults say that this bad environment is only temporary, and it will slowly recover after a while." ”

"It's not something that can be solved in a while." Zhou Xin shook his head, seeing that the little girl was looking at him with a confused expression, Zhou Xin couldn't bear to tell her the true situation of this planet, so he said, "Okay, we already know something about this town. Aina, thank you so much for giving us so much information, nothing is a problem for now. There's a lot more to do on this ship, so take your brother and follow Christy on. He directly diverted the little girl's attention.

Sure enough, Aina's attention was successfully diverted, the doubt on her face was replaced by a smile, and with a slight nod, she grabbed Blue, who was still looking curiously from the command module, and followed Christy out of the command module.

When the door of the command cabin closed, Zhou Xin glanced around at everyone, sighed, and then asked, "What do you think about the situation on this continent?" ”

The crowd looked at each other, then fell silent.

The silence lasted for a moment before Spred spoke, "This continent has been so badly damaged that I really don't know what to say. I'm curious now, didn't the people of this civilization discover this problem? ”

"Listening to Aina's tone just now, I don't think this civilization has yet to discover such a serious problem." Zhou Xin shook his head, "They are completely indifferent to this kind of environmental destruction right now. Then his tone was a little puzzled, "It stands to reason that technology has developed to this level, and it is impossible for them to still fail to find such a problem?" Even if they can't find a way to clean it up, then it is still possible not to discharge directly into nature, why do they continue to destroy the environment like this? ”

"Maybe they really don't know what the end result will be." Spred thought for a moment and replied, "You don't know how deformed the technology of this civilization is, maybe they really don't know anything about it. ”

After listening to Spred's words, Zhou Xin thought about it, and finally could only say helplessly: "Maybe your idea is really right, the scientific and technological development of this civilization is indeed too deformed, and it shouldn't be strange if there is any situation that we can't understand." ”

"Now that's the problem." Spred continued, "How the hell did they develop such a deformed technology? Judging from the information we have obtained before, except for military technology and technology related to military technology, the scientific and technological level of other aspects of this civilization can be said to be almost useless, can it be said that they really have no development except for this one aspect? ”

At this time, Dart said with some hesitation: "In fact, judging from the information we have obtained now, it is not impossible to explain that the military technology level of this civilization is so high. After all, they had been fighting another civilization for so long, and they were still at war. If military development is not emphasized, it is not impossible to be defeated by another civilization. ”

"But the question is, why are they so low-tech at the same level?" Spred explained, "It's not logical how this civilization did it because the level of other technologies is so different from the military level." ”

"Hell knows." Zhou Xin shrugged his shoulders, "If you want to know why this civilization has developed like this, it is essential to understand their history, but you also know the extent to which they conceal history. Speaking of which, he casually asked Atlas, "Atlas, have you found the historical materials of this civilization now?" ”

"No, people don't find anything related to history anywhere." Atlas's answer was not as unexpected as Zhou Xin expected.

"Take a look." Zhou Xin shook his head, "In this case, how can we have a deeper understanding of this civilization, all we can understand now is what we have seen with our own eyes, and there is no way to know more about it, even the situation on this planet in recent decades, the records in the materials are only a few words." What's more—" Zhou Xin pointed to the small town on the screen, "I don't think I can understand anything from these people's mouths, look at their daily lives, what else do they care about besides work?" What else is there to care about? I feel like they're just a bunch of working robots right now. Anyway, now I'd love to see what happened on another continent, and I wonder if the other side will be the same as this one. ”

"Brother Captain, this is a bit difficult." Atlas interjected, "It's almost impossible to launch a new probe to the planet right now, just see if we can find an opportunity in the next war." And it's very difficult for the planetary probe to cross the ocean without being detected. ”

"I know." Zhou Xin nodded, "There's no rush for this, just look for an opportunity in the future." ”

Speaking of which, the topic came to an end for the time being, Zhou Xin looked at the big screen, the town in the picture was still shrouded in pure white "moonlight", there was still a long time before the day, and at night, the work efficiency of small detectors would become extremely low, so the exploration of the nearby area was temporarily stagnant. Glancing at the time on the ship, it had not yet reached night, and after thinking about it, Zhou Xin decided to ask the Voyager to report on the situation on the surface of the planet.

"There are no signs of renewed fighting on the planet's surface." The Voyager's report was still unemotional, "There is a noticeable increase in the number of unmanned aerial vehicles patrolling orbit today compared to the morning, but they are also only patrolling according to a fixed route, without the slightest desire to fight." After reporting on the situation in orbit around the planet, Voyager went on to report an anomaly, "It is worth noting that the probe observed in some parts of the planet's surface that both civilizations appear to be building new warships. At this time, several new images from the detector appeared on the screen.

Zhou Xin noticed that the photos showed different locations, but all of them had one thing in common, that is, they all appeared in a neat array of battleships. Although the picture is a little blurry due to the distance, according to those blurred shapes, Zhou Xin can also determine that it is a battleship. Moreover, the warships that appeared in these pictures belonged to two different civilizations, Zhou Xin counted them slightly, and found that there were no less than ten warships in each shot, and all the pictures on the screen added up to more than seventy warships on both sides, which was almost equivalent to a fleet.

"These are all new warships?" After staring at the screen for a long time, Zhou Xin asked, "Are you sure it didn't appear in the previous battle?" ”

"All new ships." The Voyager confirmed, "Even if it wasn't just built, it's a ship that hasn't been seen in previous battles." The place where the battleships that had retreated in the previous battle landed was not in this location. As he spoke, several other photos appeared on the screen, and in two of them, Zhou Xin clearly saw the shape of the disc-shaped battleship and the Bird's Nest battleship.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Xin fell into thought, and then he said to himself: "In other words, in the previous battle, although it seemed that the battle was very fierce, the two sides did not fully show their strength? ”

"Maybe not." After Dart said a word, he asked, "When did these newly photographed battleships appear, before or after the battle?" ”

"After the battle." The Voyager replied directly.

"After the battle?" Zhou Xin's tone was a little surprised, "In other words, in just two days, the two civilizations have built a total of more than seventy warships?!" This kind of industrial capacity is terrible, isn't it? On my planet, this is simply not possible. ”

"It's not impossible if everybody in the whole country were to work together to build it." Dart's tone wasn't particularly unexpected.

"That's just as well." Zhou Xin thought for a moment, and then agreed with Dart's statement, but then he had new doubts, "But what do the two civilizations want to do when they build so many warships in such a short period of time?" Are they in such a hurry to start a second battle? ”

"Maybe that's the case." Dart held his chin and thought, "Maybe it's just because I saw that the other party was already building a battleship, so I didn't fall behind the other party." Then he spread his hands, "Who knows?" It depends on when the next battle between the two of them breaks out. ”

"But their industrial ability is really a little enviable." Spred spoke.

"If you're so envious, why don't you go and play on it for two days? Take a 'teach' of their industrial capabilities? Hearing Sprede's words, Zhou Xin smiled, and he couldn't help but tease.

"Then let's get rid of it." Spred replied weakly, "If I go by myself, I really can't stand the intensity of their work." ”

After joking, Zhou Xin's tone became serious, he stared at the screen and said, "From the current point of view, the reason why the two sides are suspending the exchange of fire now is probably for these warships, and the two sides should not be waging war until the construction of these new warships is completed." After thinking about it, he added, "No matter when the battle happens, the Voyager, you must closely monitor the situation on the ground, and if anything unexpected happens, you must notify me as soon as possible." ”

"Understood."

After paying a little attention to the situation on the surface of the planet, the time also came to the night on the ship, and a new day passed peacefully. In this peaceful day, Zhou Xin and the others got a lot of useful information from the pictures sent back by the probe and Aina's mouth, but at the same time, there were also a lot of new doubts. However, one thing that can be determined is that for the Eun Empire on the Mu Continent, Zhou Xinxin's anger is more than other feelings, and in addition to anger, he also feels deeply helpless at this civilization's treatment of this planet. However, he knew that he couldn't do anything about this planet now, and with a secret sigh in his heart, Zhou Xin walked out of the command cabin......
