Chapter 142: Anomaly Analysis
After listening to Atlas's investigation report on those abnormally moving space buildings, Zhou Xin and the others felt very strange. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Has the probe investigated the interior of those space buildings in detail, and still hasn't found the reason for their abnormal movement?" When Atlas finished speaking, Zhou Xin immediately asked.
"Not yet." The little girl shook her head, "Those space builders have already checked the probe again, but they still haven't found anything. People wonder if there is something wrong with the control systems of these space buildings, but if this is the case, people can't come to a definite conclusion until they have no way to enter their control rooms. β
"Still can't get in?" Atlas's report reminded Zhou Xin that there was a large inaccessible area in every space building she had reported before.
"Conventional means of cracking have little effect unless they use violence." Atlas replied, "But if we use violence, people are afraid that there are working detectors in those areas, and it would be easy to expose our presence to the Ewens." β
Hearing this answer, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought, and at this time Spred asked: "Then regardless of what is the operation of the space building, Atlas, have you found the energy source for the operation of those attitude control engines?" β
"Not either." The little girl shook her head again, "People are very sure that the main fuel tanks in these space buildings are empty, and there is no spare fuel to be found within the range that can be explored. So it's only surmising that the backup fuel should be stored in an area that we haven't explored yet. After a pause, she brought up another discovery from this time, "By the way, Brother Captain, people have noticed that those unusually moving space buildings are slowly turning?" β
"Turning?" Zhou Xin's heart was still thinking about the previous question, but he didn't react.
"It's turning." "After the buildings broke away from the entire Space City complex, they began to turn slowly, and although the maximum rotation angle was only ten degrees, they were undoubtedly turning. β
"Could it be the uneven output of the engine?" Spred asked, "Didn't you just mention that the engines of those space buildings work for different hours?" β
"That's just between buildings." Atlas replied, "The engines of the same space building are still running in sync. β
"Could it be thatβ" At this time, Zhou Xin had an idea, "Isn't there something abnormal about the control system of these space buildings?" Is it the result of manipulation? β
"Maybe that's the case." Dart said thoughtfully, "But what was the reason for activating those space buildings? And why are those space buildings being launched, and not others? And who controls those space buildings? β
"From now on, the biggest possibility is that of the Eun." Zhou Xin thought for a while and replied, "As for why it was the dozen or so that we saw and not the others, I don't know, maybe there is something special about these dozen space buildings that we don't know." After thinking about it again, Zhou Xin asked Atlas, "Can you deduce where those space buildings are based on their flight paths?" β
"I don't know." The little girl still gave a negative answer, "In the direction of their flight, the closest asteroid to them is only a few hundred million kilometers away." At the speed at which space structures are flying today, it is clear that their destination will not be there? β
"Asteroids?" Reminded by Atlas's words, Dart suddenly had an idea, "You say, could it be that the Euns want to be like the Kazlans and want to build a research base similar to the asteroid that exploded earlier at a distance from the planet?" β
"It's not impossible." Spred followed Dart's thoughts, "Looking at the size of those dozen space buildings, it's still possible to build a small research base." β
Looking at the space buildings in the picture for a few moments, Zhou Xin also had to say that Dart's speculation is the most reliable now. In this way, many doubts are explained. After discovering and destroying the asteroid base of the Kazlans, the Ewen wanted to build a similar base like them. But they don't want to spend time and energy digging enough space inside the asteroid, and they just happened to have cleaned up the space city at this time, so it is not impossible to mobilize some space buildings as a foundation to build their own space research base. As for why there are no people in the space building, it's not because they are at war with the Kazlans right now, and they don't have time to send people up.
Of course, this statement is only the most likely one, and strictly speaking, there are still many loopholes. Therefore, after the discussion, Zhou Xin still instructed Atlas to continue the investigation of the anomalous space structures.
Time passed quickly, and it was now the second day after Zhou Xin and the others provided information to the community for the fifth time. After a day's work, Zhou Xin speculated that the community should have roughly skimmed through the technical information he sent yesterday. So, he contacted Demancha with impatience.
The communication was quickly connected, and what Zhou Xin saw on the screen was not the familiar Puro, but another strange Ewen. However, the other party recognized Zhou Xin, "You are the leader of that alien, right?" Are you here to find Chief Demancha? Please wait a moment, I'll go find him. β
Although the previous contact was almost the same process, this time Zhou Xin's heart was particularly nervous, and this nervousness was even expressed on his face.
"Calm down." Zhou Xin's mood was obviously seen by Dart next to him, and he said, "There's nothing to be nervous about, it's just a big deal to be rejected by the other party, your face is easy to be seen by the other party as abnormal, what if the community uses this as a condition for us to provide more technology." β
Zhou Xin's heart also understood this, and his nervousness at the moment was just because he was inadvertently revealing it when he was thinking about things in his heart. Hearing Dart's reminder, he reacted immediately. After taking a few deep breaths, although Zhou Xin's heart was still very nervous, his face had calmed down. After a few minutes, Demancha appeared on the screen.
Zhou Xin saw that Demancha's face on the screen was very good, and he was even a little excited. As soon as he walked to the middle of the screen, his voice came, "Hello, my friend, is there anything to find me?" β
According to the discussion with Spred and them in advance, Zhou Xin did not directly make his request, but asked: "It's nothing, I just want to know about your current situation." With the information we provided, how have you been doing during this time? β
"Great, better than ever." "The information you provided is very helpful to us, because the time is too short, we have only skimmed through many materials, without in-depth research or even practice, but our technology has made unprecedented breakthroughs." After obtaining the second batch of information provided by you, the technicians have been experimenting for several days without sleep, and we have succeeded in casting the first high-hardness alloy of our own production. We don't have the right tools to make it yet, but I don't think that day is far off. Thank you so much for your help. As he spoke, he made a strange gesture towards Zhou Xin on the screen, which Zhou Xin was no stranger to, and he also made the same gesture when Jeno expressed his gratitude.
"Don't be so polite, it's just a gesture." Zhou Xin waved his hand, "I'm also very happy to see that you can develop smoothly." Then, pretending to remember, he began to guide Demancha to today's topic, "By the way, have you seen the information we sent yesterday?" β
Slightly stunned, Demancha said happily: "I've already seen it, in fact, I just added these contents at the end with the attitude of trying it out, and you will really give us the information on weapons and equipment." I thought that you deliberately avoided military equipment a few times ago and were implicitly rejecting us, but I didn't expect to provide us with such a large amount of information on weapons and equipment at one time. β
"There's no way we're going to see you grow up and be wiped out by either the Ewen Empire or the Kazran Republic." Zhou Xin looked for a reason in embarrassment, "You also know, weapons and equipment are such an important thing, even if we can provide you with technology, we have to spend time screening out some technologies that are not suitable for you, so as not to cause unimaginable terrible consequences to your base, which is why it has been delayed for so long." β
"I understand." Demancha nodded, then said in a grateful tone, "Even so, you guys have helped a lot. Whether it's the Republic of Kazran or the Empire of Eun, they have a very strict blockade of military technology, and we still have a way to get some other technology from them. But no matter what means we use, it is very difficult to get a complete or even the most basic weapons information from those two countries, and we can only rely on the dictation of those who we have arranged for the military, even the military high-ranking that I mentioned to you before. Based on their words, we can't do anything at all. So, don't look at us, we even have spaceships, but we can't even produce a complete set of individual equipment, let alone aircraft, or even warships. But that's different now, and the researchers had already seen it when they first received the information from you yesterday. Although we only have the ability to make the most basic weapons introduced in this section these days, well-you call them guns, but this is a big breakthrough for us. β
"That-" After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Xin finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most today, "Since we have provided you with so much military technology, what about the previous request-?" β
Hearing Zhou Xin's question, Demancha's face showed a look of understanding, "This is the real purpose of your search for me today, no wonder you handed over so many military materials to us yesterday." β
Suddenly, Zhou Xin's face was a little embarrassed, "This--after all, we can't guarantee how long it will take for the neutron matter in the hands of the Kazlan people to run out, so it's better to do it early." β
"Since you've said so, I'm not kidding." Demancha laughed suddenly, "I have ordered a council meeting tomorrow, and I will make your request again at that meeting."
"Really?" Zhou Xin's tone was a little excited, "That's a big help." β
"Still." "While I'll be speaking for you in tomorrow's meeting, and for the sake of the military information you've given us, there's a good chance that the council will approve your request," Demancha reminded, but hopefully you'll be prepared to be rejected." β
"I see." Zhou Xin calmed down suddenly, he thought for a moment, and then added, "If the council still disagrees, I still hope that you can tell us where the neutron matter is stored in Kazran, so that we can also have a clear goal." β
"It's not that hard." As soon as Zhou Xin finished speaking, Demancha agreed. After the business was over, they didn't say a few words, and the communication ended.
"Will the Community really agree to our request?" After the communication ended, Zhou Xin, who had a normal look, had a worried look on his face, and he said to himself.
"This matter is still too anxious, and we still make too many mistakes in a hurry." Spred said, "But now that we've all provided so much technology to the community, I guess the other side will agree." β
"If we don't agree, we will just cut off contact with them, anyway, the right to communicate between the two sides is in our hands." Dart said simply, "I don't know if they have now discovered the shortcomings of the technologies we provide, if they only rely on those technologies, the community can only develop to the stage of the industrial age at most, and it is still far from Kazlan and Eun, most of the weapons and equipment we provide cannot be manufactured by relying only on this level of science and technology." If the community really refuses, then they will regret it. Hum! β
"That's all it can be." When these words were spoken, Zhou Xin's tone was very helpless, he sighed, and he added in a complicated tone, "I hope the two sides will not really develop to the point you said in the end......"
