Chapter 187: A Visit from the Community
"A nearby Community spaceship has been detected, the ship is guiding its course, and the hangar is preparing to start containment procedures. Pen %Fun %www.biquge.info" With this sound, a door opened in the flank of the Voyager.
Because it was the first time to guide such a large spaceship to land, the Voyager was very careful during the whole process. But even so, there was a little accident during the landing. Due to the inconsistent shape of the Community's ships, there is no way to find a suitable docking spot once inside the hangar. This not only surprised Zhou Xin and the others, but also made Demancha and his party feel a little embarrassed. In desperation, Atlas figured out a solution, and she temporarily modified some restraint arms to successfully secure the Community's ship in the hangar. It can be said that today's Community ships are "hung" on the Voyager through the restraint arm.
After completing the landing procedure, they encountered a new problem, that is, how to get down from the people who were fixed in mid-air on the Community spaceship. Originally, the Voyager had prepared a docking channel, but after the ship landed, she realized that it could not be used at all. However, this problem was quickly solved by the first person to come out after opening the hatch, and the method he chose was simple, with only one word - jump. I saw that the guy in the protective suit kicked his legs, and he "flew" directly towards Zhou Xin, who had been waiting in the hangar for a long time.
Through the transparent mask of unknown material, Zhou Xin recognized the person flying towards him at first glance as Demancha. As he was the first to leave his spaceship, figures wearing protective suits began to emerge from the hatch behind him, following Demancha, and they also flew in the direction of Zhou Xin.
However, only halfway through the flight, the twin hair was blocked by a transparent wall. Seeing that Demancha and his party looked at him with puzzled eyes, Zhou Xin explained to them through the ship's internal communication: "I'm sorry, there are still some necessary procedures that need to be carried out before we meet, mainly to prevent us from having anything that can cause harm to each other. Rest assured, the process is very fast. In order to prevent misunderstanding, Spred also explained, "This program is not set up for you, and I did a similar check on the captain when I met with him. This is a procedure that must be carried out before the two civilizations meet, and these things should be understood after you have studied the information we have provided. β
For Zhou Xin's explanation, Demancha and they expressed their understanding. So, led by a robot, Demancha and his party lined up to enter the examination room.
Since both the Yune and the Kazlan had been examined, the examination of Demancha and his party was quickly completed. Ten minutes later, Zhou Xin and the others met more than a dozen people who were the first to leave the spaceship, including Demancha.
After the routine greeting, Demancha spoke: "I have been listening to Jeno describe his life here for the past two days, and I didn't believe it before, thinking that what he said was a bit exaggerated. But after seeing your spaceship today, I started to believe it a little, and I didn't expect it to be much bigger than our base. I came to you this time to send the children here, and the second purpose is to experience the life here that Jeno mentioned. β
"No problem." Zhou Xin agreed to Demancha's request, and then he continued, "As the master, let me show you around here. β
"There's no rush for now." Demancha waved his hand, "Before that, we have to settle the children we brought first." As soon as he finished speaking, another person came out of the door that had just come out behind him. The man walked up to Demancha's side, and a familiar voice rang out, "A total of one hundred and twenty-nine children, all of whom have been examined, where should I take them next?" β
"Jano!" Zhou Xin exclaimed in surprise.
"Your Excellency, we meet again." Saying that, Jeno took off his helmet, and Zhou Xin saw a look of joy on his face with helplessness, "I will ask you for more advice in the future." β
This sentence made Zhou Xin feel a little inexplicable, and at this time Demancha laughed, "He is now the captain of that group of children, so he will stay on your spaceship with those children in the future." Then he winked at Zhou Xin, "I can't bear to see him separated from his own children, so I made Jeno the captain of the children on the grounds that I am more familiar with your spaceship." After all, it's still a little unsettling if all of them are children. Then he patted Jeno on the shoulder and said seriously, "Don't underestimate yourself, your responsibility is greater than ours, and we have put the future in your hands." β
Jeno smiled bitterly at Zhou Xin: "Listen, he said something like that to me before. However, he told me that he had an important task to assign to me, but I didn't expect that the important task he said was to make me a nanny for this group of children. β
"Do you mean you're willing to leave your child?" Demancha glanced at him, then looked softly at Aina and Blue, who rushed to Jeno at the first sight. Because it was to make contact with the community, and he also had to receive hundreds of children, Zhou Xin naturally brought the two of them with him. But what I didn't expect was that the two of them were quite shy, and they hid behind Zhou Xin the moment they saw Demancha and his party, and ran out from behind Zhou Xin until they saw their father.
"Well, you win." While comforting the two children who thought they might never see each other, Jeno said to Demancha, "Anyway, you've done me a great favor this time." Then his tone was slightly lost, "But it seems that there is no time to repay you properly." β
"Helping me take care of the kids is the best reward for us." Demancha patted him on the shoulder again.
"Having said that, taking care of more than 100 children is not an easy job." Zhou Xin also answered. Then he said to Jeno: "Know the location of the living quarters, you bring the children there first, the room is ready for them, the person who picks you up is already waiting there, and you will take care of the rest." β
Looking at Jeno who was leaving, Zhou Xin said to Demancha: "Okay, now it's my turn to take you to visit here." I know that Jeno's words alone should not be enough to completely convince you, and this time I may not have the intention of investigating, so follow me to see. β
Regarding Zhou Xin's words, Demancha did not deny it, "There is no way, after all, for us, this is an unprecedented attempt, and we have to be careful and careful." β
Demancha's approach may not be incomprehensible, "Since that's the case, then follow me." It's almost noon, so I'll take you to the cafeteria first. With that, he took the lead.
Over the next three days, Zhou Xin took the community on a tour of the entire Voyager. Demancha was as amazed at what they had experienced as they had been when Aina had first arrived on the ship. One of the things that impressed them the most was the food supply on board. Originally, he thought that the food provided in his base was already good, but he didn't expect that it was not worth mentioning compared to the Voyager. Of course, not only the food, but almost everything was also beyond their imagination. On the first day, they are surprised to see anything new, and it is not until the second day that the mood eases slightly. When they learned that the children were going to live like this, some of the people who came with Demancha even showed envy.
"Now I'm starting to believe that you can take care of the kids." At the moment before leaving the Voyager, Demancha said to Zhou Xin with emotion, "Everything you have experienced in the past few days is completely beyond my imagination, I didn't expect you to live such a life." Although I thought from the beginning that Jeno's introduction should be true, it may inevitably have some exaggerated elements. But I didn't expect that what he said was not only true, but even had reservations compared to the actual situation. That's pretty enviable. β
"In fact, there is nothing to envy, our civilization has only developed little by little since the beginning of the wilderness. During this period, we also experienced many years of war, and all kinds of contradictions and twists and turns cannot be clearly explained in one or two sentences. Zhou Xin said, "In fact, it stands to reason that even if there is a long-term war, if it is not for the two civilizations on your planet that only care about the development of force. Then you should be able to develop to the same level as us, maybe even better than us. Then he remembered, "Well, I'll ask the Voyager to give you a history of the development of our civilization in a moment, and I hope it will inspire you." β
Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Demancha and his party were silent. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "I will definitely do my best to put the development of our civilization on the right track." The resoluteness in the words could be heard by everyone present. Along with his words, the faces of all the members of the community behind Demancha also showed a determined look. Then Demancha said to Zhou Xin in a grateful tone: "You have helped us so much so far, I really don't know how to repay you. Then his tone became slightly lost, "It seems that we don't have much chance to repay you now." β
Waving his hand, Zhou Xin said: "Offering you help is not for your reward, if it is really for this purpose, it will not provide you with so much help." I just can't bear to watch a civilization that has managed to grow to such an extent come to an end. Then he sighed slightly, "However, I still feel a little sorry for you in my heart because I have put you in danger for this idea. β
"Don't say that." "In the beginning, some of us actually had this idea. It's just that for those back then, it was a question of whether they would survive under the rule of Kazlan and Eun, let alone change civilization. However, this kind of thinking has been passed down with us. Then he shook his head, "It's a pity that under the high-pressure policy of the two civilizations on the planet, the strength of the community has grown extremely slowly from the beginning, and until now it is still not enough to exert any effective influence on the entire civilization, at most it can only make some small moves in secret." Until you appearβ" and he laughed, "do you think I didn't hear the incitement in what you said to me at first?" If it weren't for our own will, you think your words would have allowed us to take such a risky action? β
Hearing Demancha's rhetorical question, Zhou Xin also laughed, "I think why it went so smoothly at the beginning, it turned out that you pretended to be persuaded by me." It's a loss, because of your attitude, I have provided you with so many technologies. β
"Wouldn't you have persuaded us to provide us with those technologies?" Demancha glanced at Zhou Xin, "I'm afraid it's not necessarily." I should have given us all that knowledge as long as I showed that I wanted to change the whole civilization. β
"It's not interesting to deal with smart people, and you can see what you have at a glance." Zhou Xin pursed his lips, "However, with your wisdom, it makes me believe that you have the ability to change the course of the entire civilization." β
"Lend you good words." Demancha laughed, "Alright, it's not too early, we should leave too." Actually, I'd love to spend more time with you, but there's still a lot of work I need to take care of at the base. Then he looked a little lonely, "I'm afraid this is the first and last contact between the two of us." It should not be possible to have such face-to-face opportunities in the future. As he spoke, he put on the helmet of his hazmat suit.
"Maybe there will be such an opportunity in the future." Although he knew in his heart that it was impossible, Zhou Xin still comforted him, and then, after a simple goodbye to the personnel of both sides, the guide robot took Demancha and his party to the hangar.
Ten minutes later, Zhou Xin's ears rang with the Voyager's report, "Your Excellency, the community spaceship is ready, and the other party requests to leave the ship." β
"Agreed."
"Carry out the off-ship procedure. Passage 2 has been activated, the hatch has been opened, the restraint arm has been disarmed, and the Community ship is being guided inboardly. "A moment later, in space, a strangely shaped spaceship slowly flew out of the side of the Voyager. After flying out of the Voyager, the ship did not stop at all, and flew straight for the huge satellite next to the Voyager. At the same time, the Voyager reported to Zhou Xin that "the Community spacecraft has left this ship......"
