Chapter 7: The Tomb of Captain Agris
This brick house was built about 100 years ago, and the reason why it was buried under the rock and soil is about 50 years ago, when landslides or other geological phenomena occurred in the area.
The deceased was moved outside, and a pit was dug with a sapper shovel to bury it.
In the back room, Jiang Feng found the thank you gift from the mouth of Captain Agris.
It was a wooden box, and perhaps because of the dampness, dark green mushrooms even grew in the stale place. Removing the completely corroded iron lock, Jiang Feng directly pried open the wooden box with a sapper shovel, and there were very few things inside, only a bright silver dagger and two books made of crocodile skin.
"Very strange material...... "Taking the dagger, Jiang Feng pointed his flashlight at the lines on the blade, "Zhi Brain, scan the material of this thing." โ
ใScanning......ใ
[The material is Mithril, containing a small amount of stardust energy......]
A small amount of stardust energy?
Jiang Feng was slightly stunned, and his eyes looked at this dagger with a somewhat interested look.
In other words, this thing is enchanted?
Inserting the dagger into his belt, Jiang Feng put away the two books made of crocodile skin and carefully examined the surroundings. After making sure that nothing had been left behind, he left the room with the loot.
When passing by the skeleton of Captain Agris, Jiang Feng hesitated, and finally made a wooden coffin on the workbench and put it in.
Although he didn't know how far away the Kata Alliance was from this planet, he couldn't think of it any farther away than the Earth Federation. If he had the chance, he would consider helping the captain complete the will, after all, he had already accepted the gift.
Captain Agris's coffin was brought back to the spaceship by Jiang Feng, and the house embedded in the rock mass behind him was used by him.
First, the mine was widened to a width of almost two meters, and then Jiang Feng used the prepared wood and nails to knock out a "door" shaped structure on both sides of the mine as a support, and then brought the collected iron ore back to the spaceship in batches, making a small iron cart and an alloy door.
Also on the list of equipment that needs to be manufactured are mineral decomposition furnaces, mineral storage units, and workbenches with low-power 3D printers. After these three things are prepared, a complete alien shelter can be said to be completely completed.
As for energy, the planet's light is quite sufficient, and solar energy is sufficient.
Placing the newly built alloy door at the entrance of the reinforced mine, looking at the masterpiece in front of him, Jiang Feng wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"There are still two vents missing...... I'll get it done tomorrow. โ
It's getting late.
Walking through the rainforest in the dark, Jiang Feng didn't have that ability.
Transporting the construction materials from the vacant land into the mine, he threw the ore into the trolley with a sapper shovel, and then pushed the trolley in the direction of the spaceship down the mountain.
Returning to the spaceship, throwing the ore into the decomposition furnace that came with the spaceship, looking at the slowly recovering steel reserves, Jiang Feng turned on the gravitational wave probe and subspace probe on the shuttle respectively.
If Captain Agris's civilization is already capable of interstellar travel, then there is a good chance that they will master the two technologies of gravitational wave communication and warp movement. In areas where warp movements are performed frequently, subspace fluctuations will be very noticeable. This phenomenon can be used both to detect large fleets and to discover space civilizations that have mastered warp technology.
Unfortunately, the Shuttle is not a serious exploration ship after all, but just an escape pod. Sending a distress signal to a nearby border station is fine, but it's still too reluctant to use it for celestial exploration.
For example, the gravitational wave detector is pitch black five light-years away, and nothing can be observed.
As for the subspace probe......
Jiang Feng could only confirm through this thing that the other terrestrial planet in this binary star system had not given birth to a space-age civilization. Planets that are a little farther away can only be detected by more specialized equipment.
Sighing, Jiang Feng turned the communicator to standby mode, and by default, every second as the frequency, it emits a gravitational wave signal to the region within five light years in the Carter Union language. When he had done all this, he made himself a cup of coffee, and then sat down in the ergonomic chair on the bridge, flipping through the two books he had received from Captain Agris.
Both books are written in the Kata Union language, one is presumably a diary, and the other is a chronicle of the planet's customs. Zhi Brain had already imported the translated Kata Union into the database, so Jiang Feng had no obstacle in reading these two books.
It really made Jiang Feng guess right, this is indeed an island, about a hundred nautical miles away from the nearest Aditya continent, there are aboriginal villages at the northern end of the island, and there are also colonies of the Rick Kingdom.
At the same time, there is indeed a civilization on this planet, and a hundred years ago it was in the feudal and backward Iron Age. Considering the slow progress of the idealistic civilization in the materialistic realm, the aborigines on the Aditya Road should not have changed much in the past hundred years.
Judging from that diary, the life of this Captain Agris's can be described as quite exciting, the escape pod fell into the sea, and he was already desperate, but he was rescued by a nearby merchant ship and taken to the port of the Rick Kingdom.
With a mouth, he fooled the king, queen and the courtiers of the kingdom, sailed west with twenty sailors and a steamer, and discovered the crocodile island outside the Aditya continent, which is the island where Jiang Feng now landed, and established a colony on this island, so that the kingdom got rid of its dependence on the import of timber from neighboring countries, and thus got the title of nobility and entered the upper class of the kingdom.
He learned the magic of the indigenous civilization from a wild wizard, hooked up with a duke's daughter, and finally became the governor of the colony, earning a lot of gold from the crocodile trade, and living a rather luxurious life with a group of wives and concubines......
Although he didn't know why, he finally chose to bury his remains in this deserted valley, but overall, his life was quite wonderful.
Closing the book, Jiang Feng clicked his finger on the trackpad and called up the map he had scanned on the valley earlier. Immediately afterward, his index finger pointed beyond the edge of the map, the shadowed area of the location, and drew a circle on the north side, marking it with a few words.
"There are Aboriginal villages at the northern end of the island...... Want to check it out there? โ
Analyzing various factors, whether it is Captain Agris, who is in the Kata Alliance, or the natives of this planet, the genetic characteristics should be basically similar to Jiang Feng, who is a human. The only thing Jiang Feng is worried about now is what the relationship between the Rick Kingdom and the aborigines on Crocodile Island is.
Captain Agrice did not mention this in his diary.
If the relationship between the two sides is harmonious, it is better to say.
If the relationship between the two parties is strained......
It's annoying.
Jiang Feng felt that no matter which side he appeared on, there was a high probability that he would be regarded as the "opposite person". After all, as an outsider, no matter which side you look at, you should be out of place to the extreme.
