Chapter 31 The First Formal Exchange
"Okay, okay, you go on. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Xin raised his hands to make a surrender gesture.
Christy glanced at Zhou Xin, and then continued: "The information you sent to my grandfather before should not have had a chance to see it. In other words, they contacted you without knowing that there was an alien visit. Do you think this is normal? โ
"Are you sure they can't see the information I left for your grandfather? Maybe they got that information by accident and thought we could talk to him? โ
"It can't be." Christy shook her head, "This kind of information must be stored separately, and will not be put in the public database, we can only find some hidden information from some hidden places in the public database at most, and there is no way to do this kind of independent data." โ
"Wellโ" After listening to Christy's explanation, Zhou Xin thought about it, "either they can't wait anymore and come to us directly without knowing our identity; Either they didn't mean to join us, but to have something else in mind about us; Or is it - someone else instructed?! After saying this, Zhou Xin glanced at Christy in surprise, "No wonder you just asked me to reject them, if that's the case, if we accept it, things will be in trouble." โ
"Actually, I'm not sure what the reason is." Christie's expression became confused, "I just think their approach is very strange, although everyone in the base knows that there are people like us, but we are usually very low-key and never do anything that affects the normal operation of the base." And this time Rust deliberately invaded the base's communication system, which seems to us to be a very serious matter, so I want you not to agree to him so easily. โ
Zhou Xin nodded, "Your reminder is correct, if it weren't for your reminder, I would have agreed to his request at the beginning." Now it seems that if you don't know why they are doing this, it is better to keep your distance from them. Then he instructed Christy, "If they continue to contact you in the future, let me know as soon as possible, and I will talk to them." Seeing Christy nodding, he continued, "I'll go and talk to Sprede and them about this and see what they think." With that, he left Christy and headed for the command module......
More than half a month passed, and during this time, Christy still contacted the base from time to time. And Dart seems to have become a full-time liaison on the Atlantean side, and he is always seen in every communication, which doesn't matter, but every time he contacts him, he always doesn't mention a word about the Voyager, and every time Christy wants to lead the topic to Zhou Xin, they will always be diverted by Dart, which makes Zhou Xin and them feel depressed, and they never understand why the Atlanteans have such an attitude towards them. However, in the past half a month, Dart still brought good news, after twenty days of repair treatment, Christie's mother finally woke up, but because the newly awakened Redtina was still very weak, so she did not appear in the communication, but this was enough to make Christy happy for a long time.
At the same time, those who called themselves "seekers" also contacted Christy several times in the past half a month, and from the process of each contact, Zhou Xin felt their eagerness. This made Zhou Xin confirm his previous thoughts, in addition to the obvious reason that they wanted to join the Voyager, they may have their own plans behind the scenes. Although I don't know what kind of plans they have, it is enough to keep Zhou Xin vigilant. Therefore, Zhou Xin always had a perfunctory attitude towards their requests. Every time they brought up the topic, Zhou Xin either diverted it or tried to do it with the pretense that the results had not yet been discussed.
After ending the communication again on the grounds that "we have not reached a consensus internally", Zhou Xin returned to the command cabin with a puzzled face and said to Spred, "It's really strange, haven't these people seen our perfunctory attitude after so long?" Until now, they still want to join us on our trip, what is the situation? โ
"Hell knows." Spred spread his hands at Zhou Xin, "Anyway, we're in the sky now, and they can't do anything about us." But I don't think they really want to join us, but they have other goals, and communicating with us may be their means to get there. โ
"I've thought of that, too, butโ" Zhou Xin said worriedly, "don't you think it's strange that the people we want to communicate with are deliberately ignoring us, but there are other people with unknown intentions who are eager to join us?" It feels like-" He couldn't say anything for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said helplessly, "It's that strange feeling anyway, don't you?" โ
"What if there is." "Do you have a solution to this situation?" The initiative is not yet on them. But I don't think they can drag it out like this, maybe there will be a turnaround in two days. โ
"I hope so." Zhou Xin sighed......
What Zhou Xin didn't expect was that a turnaround appeared on the second day of their discussion.
At that time, Zhou Xin was on his way to Christy's room, because when he contacted the Atlanteans before, Dart's topic was never inseparable from Christy, so Zhou Xin was embarrassed to let Christy connect the communication directly to the command cabin, so he asked Christy to contact the base in his room, as long as he came to inform him when he encountered the contact of the "Seeker". Of course, every day he would still visit Christy at a fixed time, and ask if there was anything new.
Walking to the door of Christie's room, Zhou Xin was about to reach out to open the door when the door suddenly opened, and then a figure rushed out of it and crashed into Zhou Xin's arms, still calling Zhou Xin's name in his mouth. Zhou Xin was knocked and staggered, and his body shook for a moment before he stood firmly. Looking closely, he found that it was Christy in his arms, and after hitting Zhou Xin's arms, she looked a little overwhelmed, and after standing for a few seconds, she reacted, and then she struggled to get up.
Christy struggled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention, I'm sorry I bumped into you." Zhou Xin hurriedly helped her to stand firm. After standing up, Christy looked up and saw that it was Zhou Xin, and her face turned red in an instant.
"Captain, I-I didn't know it was you, yes-I'm sorry." She stammered and whispered.
"Walk recklessly." Zhou Xin said with a reproachful tone, "Fortunately, it was a person who bumped into it, just like that, if you hit something, you must be injured, what needs to be so excited." โ
At this time, Christy remembered what she was going to say before she ran out, and she suddenly became excited again, "It's Ji-base, Yuan-dean's grandfather, he-he said he wants-wants to find--find you." "She's a bit incoherent. Zhou Xin calmed her down for a long time, and after calming down, Christy said it again before Zhou Xin understood. The Atlanteans sent another request for communication, this time it was actually Plett on the other side, and as soon as he appeared, he wanted to talk to Zhou Xin by name, so Christy ran out in a panic to inform him.
"Then why don't you notify me with the ship's communications?" After listening to Christie's words, Zhou Xin asked strangely, "It's not that you won't use it." โ
Christy suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and then said embarrassedly: "I forgot ......"
"......" Zhou Xin was speechless for a moment, he just wanted to reach out and rub Christy's head, but when his hand reached into the air, he remembered that it was not Ralph in front of him, so he took his hand back in embarrassment, and then said to Christy: "Okay, since I've arrived, let me in, don't let Prit wait." โ
"Oh, ohโ" Christy reacted as she hurriedly turned around and took Zhou Xin back to his room.
After entering the room, Zhou Xin saw at a glance that the communication module was on the bed, Christy did not turn off the communication, standing at the door, Zhou Xin could still faintly hear the sound coming from the communication module. When he got closer, Zhou Xin heard the voice of Pratt coming from inside. Listening to his tone, it seemed that he was complaining about something to the person next to him.
"Christy's kid is really, he didn't tell us how long he was going to wait and then ran out in a hurry, do you want us to wait here?" Pratt said.
"Alas," Dart's voice came next, "those people who claim to be from Earth are too backward in technology, aren't they even instant messaging?" I also want Christy to run out and inform you that I really don't know how this civilization developed the technology of interstellar travel. "The translator faithfully translates the dialogue in the communication module.
Hearing these words, Christy next to her showed an embarrassed look, while Zhou Xin was a little crying and laughing, in order to prevent them from saying more weird topics, Zhou Xin hurriedly interjected into their conversation, "Ahem, this--instant messaging has long been popularized in our ship, and it was only because Christy didn't know how to use our equipment that she ran to inform me." In order to prevent Christy from being embarrassed, Zhou Xin also helped her cover up a little.
"Oh? Are you here? I didn't expect it to be so fast. Hearing Zhou Xin's voice, they stopped discussing, but finally Prit added in a low voice, "It's so soon, it looks like their spaceship isn't big." โ
Zhou Xin decisively ignored his words, and he greeted him first, "Dean Prit, it's a pleasure to meet you again. โ
Prit didn't pay attention to Zhou Xin's greeting, but called out to Christy loudly, "What about Christy, why don't you come and pick up the communicator, do you want me to talk to a wall?" โ
Zhou Xin stepped to the wall, then picked up the communication module, and he saw two figures appear upside down in the screen. Zhou Xin hurriedly turned the communication module upside down, so he clearly saw Pratt and Dart.
"Well, that's normal." "You're the boy from the earth, called Zhou-Zhou." โ
"My name is Zhou Xin, the captain of the Voyager." Zhou Xin reluctantly introduced himself again.
"Uh-huh, Zhou Xin." Puri nodded.
Ignoring the greetings, Zhou Xin asked bluntly: "Have you already made a decision to find me at this time?" As he spoke, he looked at Prit expectantly.
"There's no rush for now." Prit waved his hand at Zhou Xin, "I've read all the information you gave us, are you sure it's all true?" There was still a hint of skepticism in his words.
"Of course." Zhou Xin said, "And what reason do we have to deceive you, it's not that we haven't seen the video of your previous attacks, with the abilities of those enemies in the video, I think they can attack you directly, can they be so troublesome as me?" โ
"Okay." Prit nodded, "I'll just believe you're from Earth for a moment. Then he continued, "Then what is the matter with you who have come all the way to find us? โ
"Uh-" Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed when he heard this question, "this-we were just curious to see the information you left behind, so we came to this planet to have a look, but I didn't expect to meet you." He replied honestly.
"......" Hearing this reason, Prit was very surprised, and Dart beside him finally couldn't help but speak, "That's the reason?!" "Then what is the reason for you to leave Earth?" What are your goals? โ
"Come out and explore." Zhou Xin said in a tone of course, "We don't have a specific goal when we come out this time, so it doesn't matter where we go." โ
"......" The other side was speechless again, and after a while, Dart spoke again, "Although we did see the complete process before your departure on the information you gave, I really didn't expect you to come to the universe for such a reason. โ
"What? Is this reason surprising? Zhou Xin felt very strange, "I heard Christy say that when you first built the Great Western Continent, wasn't your purpose also to explore the universe?" โ
"In fact, the idea of exploring the universe did not reach a unified opinion until we left the earth." Pratt also gave an unexpected answer......
