After seeing the footage processed by Atlas on the screen, everyone felt a little strange. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhou Xin couldn't help but speak, "What's going on, how can this wall be like this." Of course, no one in the command cabin knew the answer to this question, and Zhou Xin's question was not answered. Even Atlas shook his head, "People can't see it yet, let the probe investigate." ”

The probe continued to investigate the metal wall, while everyone watched curiously at the footage sent back by the probe. On a nearby screen, Atlas is trying to put together a complete picture of the images sent back by the probe. Through some of the footage that the probe had already sent back, Zhou Xin felt that the wall blocking the passage looked like a metal door.

As the probe continued to investigate, the picture that Atlas had put together on the screen began to become more and more complete, and when the picture appeared about two-thirds of the way, Zhou Xin had already determined that it was indeed a metal door. In addition, at this time, the traces of splicing on the metal door could already be clearly seen, but Zhou Xin did not speak, but quietly waited for the picture on the screen to be completed.

After the complete picture appeared on the screen, Zhou Xin saw that the metal door was round, and it was tightly embedded in the wall of the passage. In order for it to fit into the passage, all four corners of the rectangular passage, which was originally a cross-section, were sealed with rock. Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the metal gate itself. The whole door is clearly divided into several parts, and the reason why these parts are connected together is by another metal substance that is different from the other metals, which makes the whole joint appear thick and obvious. Even the metal fragments that make up the door are incomplete, and in the middle of the fragments you can see signs of patching with other metals, which look like patches on clothing. The whole gate looks a little old, it is covered with rust, and the whole door is not very obviously twisted, at the junction of different metals, the original welding marks have been basically smoothed, except for the color is a little different, it is difficult to find that the gate is spliced together.

Seeing that now, Zhou Xin and the others still didn't understand why this gate was like this, and his heart was full of doubts, "What the hell is going on with this gate." ”

"It seems—" Spred said thoughtfully, staring at the screen, "and I always feel like this door is made of scrap materials." ”

"Big Brother Spred, you guessed right." After a while, Atlas affirmed Spred's opinion, "The probe has preliminarily analyzed the materials of different parts of the metal on the gate, and found that those metal fragments that look relatively large are more consistent with the metal used by the spaceships of the two civilizations on Song. The metals used for repair and joining belong to a different alloy. ”

"In other words, the entire door is mainly made up of fragments of spaceships from two civilizations?" After listening to Atlas's report, Zhou Xin asked.

"Basically—that's what it looks like."

"This is really in line with the style of this force." Zhou Xin immediately understood, since he had seen similar practices from them before, after coming to a conclusion, he no longer had the doubts he had before.

"What the hell is this force doing, how do you feel that everything they do is taken from the two civilizations on Songxing." "It feels like—" After a moment's hesitation, he said it anyway, "It feels like a beggar." ”

"Who knows." Zhou Xin shrugged his shoulders, "This force gives me a very confused feeling. Then he glanced at the screen, "I hope the investigation here can shed some light on them." ”

After a while, the probe completed the investigation of the entire gate, and found that although there were obvious seams in the gate, the welds were very strong, and the probe did not find any cracks on the surface, not even the gaps that opened and closed, so it was determined that the entire gate was a single unit. According to the previous analysis of the wreckage of those spaceships and the results of the probe's detection of the gate in front of him, the thickness of this gate is estimated to be about thirty centimeters, which is not too thick compared to other bases that Zhou Xin has visited before, but it is not too thin.

After listening to the results reported by the probe, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and just as he was thinking, Spred smiled: "How are you going to get in this time, do you still want to open a hole directly like when you entered our base?" ”

"......" Zhou Xin's thinking was interrupted suddenly, and after hearing what Spred said clearly, suddenly, an embarrassed expression appeared on his face, "Do you remember what happened at the beginning?" At that time, I saw that your planet had been completely destroyed, and I thought that there would be no one in your base, so I used this method. ”

"Okay, just kidding." Spred's tone was a little more serious, "Seriously, are you going to use this method to get in?" ”

Hearing Spred put forward this idea again, Zhou Xin finally became serious, he thought about it, and then shook his head, "It's better not to use it, after all, we already know that there are aliens inside, and it would be a little inappropriate to use this kind of violent method again, if we cause the base to attack us, it will be difficult." ”

"And we don't know how many people are in the base, and we don't know what their level of weaponry is." Dart continued, "Rushing to their attention would lead to a series of unforeseen consequences, and—" his tone became curious, "why did your tone become so strange when it came to making a hole in the door, and was there any reason for that?" ”

"This—" Zhou Xin's face changed slightly, and then he disguised it awkwardly, "It's just a small episode that happened when I met Spred, don't care about this kind of detail." ”

"Okay." Seeing that Zhou Xin didn't want to go into specific details, Dart didn't ask too much, and then, he changed the question, "Then what should I do next?" How are you going to let the probe in? ”

Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then replied: "Don't worry, let the detector observe the situation outside, since there are people inside, then they will open the door sooner or later, and then find a chance to go in." ”

"Yes, too." After listening to Zhou Xin's thoughts, Spred nodded, "But in this case, the people inside can't tell when the door will open, maybe we will have to wait a long time." ”

"Anyway, we won't be able to leave for a while now." Zhou Xin said indifferently, "Wait, wait, it's better than us using violence to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

"That's right." Spred thought for a moment, "Okay, then wait. ”

Then, the scene fell silent, and everyone in the command cabin was silently staring at the screen and waiting for the door to open.

After this silence lasted for a few minutes, Zhou Xin reacted, "No, what are you doing so quiet all of a sudden?" ”

"Didn't you say wait for the door to open?" Dart looked confused.

"Then just let the probe wait, what are we waiting here for." Zhou Xin looked helpless.

"It just so happens that there's nothing going on right now, so I'll just wait." Spred spread his hands, "What else else can you do?" ”

"......" Zhou Xin didn't know how to answer at all, and the command cabin suddenly fell into an embarrassing atmosphere.

However, this embarrassment was alleviated by the Voyager's report, "The probes reported that they had detected movement behind the metal gate. ”

"What's going on?" As soon as Zhou Xin's words fell, a faint noise suddenly sounded in the command cabin, which sounded very similar to the sound of a strong wind blowing. And the voice still sounds strong and weak, with a certain rhythm.

Everyone was listening to the voice quietly, but the voice was so small that no one could accurately identify what the voice was, and many people had puzzled looks on their faces, "What is this sound?" It sounds familiar. Dart opened his mouth to ask the question that many people had in mind.

"The ship is comparing the sound samples sent back by the detector with the database to analyze the source of the sound." The Voyager reported solemnly.

"Oh, I don't need to compare, isn't this the sound of the ship's engine." As soon as the Voyager's words fell, Atlas came to the conclusion.

Half a minute later, the Voyager came up with the same result, "After comparison, the sound sample is more than 95% similar to the noise emitted by the engine when it is running, and it is preliminarily determined that the sound is made by the ship's engine." ”

"It must have been from the ships that just went in not long ago." Dart affirmed, "It looks like the ship is parked not far behind the door." ”

Listening carefully to the noise that continued to play, Zhou Xin nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "In addition to the sound of the engine, can you hear any other sounds?" ”

After listening quietly for a while, everyone in the command cabin shook their heads blankly, and Spred asked, "Did you hear anything else from inside?" ”

"I didn't hear it either." Zhou Xin replied honestly, and then he threw the question to the Voyager, "Traveler, have you analyzed any other sounds from this sound sample other than the engine sound?" ”

"Brother Captain, don't think about it." Before the Voyager could answer, Atlas said directly, "The engine sound is already so faint, you want to hear other sounds, anyway, people don't hear any other sounds." ”

"Okay." Originally, Zhou Xin didn't expect to be able to really hear other sounds, so he didn't dwell on this issue anymore, he continued, "Since there is the sound of an engine coming from behind the door, it means that there should be someone moving inside, so it's good to let the detector wait at the door now." ”

Now that the decision had been made, everyone said no more, and after his words fell, the command cabin fell silent again.

"Uh- now that we're waiting for the probe, what are we going to do next?" After a while, Spred finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Xin scratched his head, "It seems--like-" After a long time, he only squeezed out one sentence, "I don't know what to do......"

"......" This time, it was the turn of all the people in the command cabin to be speechless. But after thinking about it, everyone found that the battle on the surface of the planet could not be fought for a while; Probes surveying the planet's surface have also made no new discoveries; There has been little progress on the things that Atlas is analyzing; The gates of the base are also not open, there is no way to investigate, and it seems that there really is nothing to care about now.

Just as everyone was wondering if there was something they had missed, Atlas spoke: "Actually, Brother Captain, there is really one thing that you have overlooked. ”

"Huh?" Hearing the little girl's words, Zhou Xin desperately recalled in his mind, but he didn't remember what he had overlooked, and the other people in the command cabin also showed a look of recollection, but like Zhou Xin, they didn't think of anything. After a while, Zhou Xin really couldn't think of it, so he had to ask, "Atlas, what is there that I have overlooked?" ”

"Brother Captain, have you forgotten Space City?" Atlas reminded.

"Space City? What happened to Space City? Zhou Xin still didn't understand what the little girl meant, "Isn't Space City just there?" ”

"Oops." Atlas's tone was a little eager, "People are talking about the investigation, the investigation of the space city, don't you want to know what has become of the space city now, brother captain?" ”

"That's what you're talking about." Hearing Atlas's reminder, Zhou Xin suddenly realized, and he hurriedly said, "Investigate, of course this needs to be investigated, Atlas, send some probes to the space city to investigate." Only then did he remember that although he had seen the interior of the space city in that video before, the space city he saw in the video was only limited to a small range, and he wanted to investigate the space city before, but a series of unexpected events that happened made him forget about it, if it wasn't for Atlas's reminder, he might not be able to remember it by now.

"They have already been sent out." The little girl on the screen rolled her eyes cutely, "If you wait for Brother Captain to remember this, then maybe it will be when." ”

"Haha-ha-ha-" Zhou Xin smiled a little unnaturally, "I forgot too many things before, but fortunately, our Atlas still remembers this." ”

"Hmph, that's of course, how can people forget." The little girl straightened her chest and replied triumphantly. At the same time, the screen began to switch......
