Chapter 18: The Music Box

The acquisition of the alien creation went smoothly and without any surprises.

But even so, the alien creations that were obtained were handled with care.

The first is the separation of the shuttle using a robotic arm, the normal metal fragments are not carried, and the reflective object is carefully wrapped, first using a plastic layer to isolate it from contact with the air, as well as viruses, microorganisms, and alien creatures that may be present in it.

Finally, a small, sealed glass box was carefully placed in it, only to be stored in the shuttle and carefully placed in the inventory so as not to shatter it in the collision.

"The outer arm picks up the piece of metal from earlier, and we'll go back to Hope." Yao Yuan whispered, in fact, he was already a little tired at the moment, especially since he had been using multiple new human skills before, but he still tried to concentrate and drove the shuttle towards the Hope.

Nothing happened along the way, the three people on the shuttle, and the thousands of people on the Hope, the shuttle returned to the Hope very safely, when the shuttle just entered the bridge passage, even the closed door has not been completely closed, a group of people have come to the shuttle outside the shuttle in spacesuits, waiting for the return of Yao Yuan and the other three.

When all three of them got off the shuttle, the group split into two sides, and the large group immediately rushed onto the shuttle, some began to encapsulate the metal plate, while others cautiously walked out with glass boxes, as if it were not an alien creature inside, but a fragile life that would disappear at the slightest touch.

As for the other side, Yao Yuan, Zhang Heng, and Ying followed this small group of people, and did not take off their spacesuits, but followed this small group of people to another small vacuum isolation room.

"It's really troublesome, do you have to come back every time you come into contact with an alien object in the future?" Zhang Heng said with a tired face.

Yao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed troublesome, but this is a necessary step, at least when our technology invents a universal fungicide, these steps can be dispensed with...... But I don't think my generation can see it. ”

Ying stood beside him without saying a word, and it wasn't until after Yao Yuan's words were finished that he said, "Then I'll go back and rest first." ”

Yao Yuan nodded to the eagle, and said to Zhang Heng: "You also go back to rest, although the passive new human skill consumption is less, but I think you are also tired and panicked, go back, we will be busy in the next few days." ”

Zhang Heng yawned, watched the eagle turn around and walked away without saying a word, he also said: "Okay, captain, I'll go back to sleep first, alas, I don't feel it when I use it, I am really tired and panicked after using it." With that, he followed the eagle all the way away.

Only Yao Yuan and those who followed were left at the scene, in fact, Yao Yuan was also very tired, just in terms of fatigue, his state at the moment was definitely more than Ying and Zhang Heng, but in addition to being one of the trio of this exploration, he also had an identity as the captain of the Hope, so Ying and Zhang Heng could leave, but he still had a lot of things to do.

"How's the ruins watching?" Yao Yuan took the document handed over by a person next to him, and he asked as he walked.

The person who handed over the document was Barbie, she was still wearing a black silk skirt, and her surname was almost charming, but this did not hinder her professional efficiency, and she said immediately: "The ruins are not emitting any signal bands, and they are monitored 24 hours a day, and in addition, this document is a proposal submitted by several scientists." ”

"Oh, Polly's report?" Yao Yuan picked up the document and read the signature first, and then looked at the document carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed, this document said that the Hope is currently too close to the ruins, only a thousand kilometers away from the outermost part of the ruins, and only a thousand hundreds of kilometers away from the fragments of large alien warships, and the document said that such a distance does not need to encounter any laser weapons, particle weapons, or more advanced weapons and the like, such a distance only needs to encounter Gauss weapons that humans can currently try, and it will be penetrated in a few seconds.

The safe distance given by Polly and several scientists is...... 10,000 kilometers away.

Because according to the document, although 10,000 kilometers away, when encountering a Gauss acceleration shell, it will only be penetrated in tens of seconds, according to the evasion speed of the Hope, it is impossible to avoid such an attack, but the most critical point is that even if it encounters the attack of the Gauss acceleration shell, as long as the distance is far enough, then the hit rate will be infinitely close to zero, even if the Hope does not evade, it is a safe number to be 10,000 kilometers away.

This report pointed out that ultra-long-range shooting in space warfare requires high-precision calculation and positioning, and such calculation and positioning generally require supercomputers to carry out, even if the technology of this alien civilization is hundreds of years higher than that of human technology, unless they invent the existence of light brains, otherwise when the entire warship is shattered now, the central computer on the battleship must be broken into pieces, and even if the weapon system can work, it is impossible to rely on the small computer on the weapon system to calculate and aim at the target 10,000 kilometers away, so that's it, 10,000 kilometers is a suitable distance.

"10,000 kilometers?"

After reading the document, Yao Yuan thought about it for a while, the current new shuttle, its vacuum gravity-free state sailing maximum speed is ten kilometers per second, if it is 10,000 kilometers away, it will take more than fifteen minutes at the maximum speed, and also count the deceleration when about to arrive, that is, after starting from the Hope, it will take about twenty minutes to reach the ruins area.

"Okay, this document is approved, let the Hope set sail immediately, to a distance of 10,000 kilometers from the ruins belt, is there anything else urgent?" After Yao Yuan gave the order, he asked Barbie again.

Barbie shook her head and said, "There is nothing else, but captain, you have a meeting in the afternoon about the use of the first section of the external cabin, and the time is starting at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Three o'clock in the afternoon?" Yao Yuan looked at his watch, the time was around eleven o'clock at the moment, he nodded and said: "Then I'll go sleep for a while, at half past two in the afternoon, you can wake me up directly, in addition, any situation about the alien creation, whether it is the metal fragments of the alien battleship, or the small creation I brought back, about any unexpected situation inside, no matter what the harm is, or when the useful technology is cracked, you must wake up immediately." ”

"Okay." Barbie carefully recorded Yao Yuan's words, and then smiled and said, "Good dreams, go and rest." ”

Yao Yuan smiled reluctantly, he was already very tired at the moment, and then he didn't say anything, took the battery car of the roadside orderly, returned to his room in the shortest possible time, closed the door and fell directly on the bed, a few seconds later, he was already snoring loudly.

At the same time, in the biochemical virus laboratory presided over by Saburo Mitsuda, the metal fragments of the alien battleship and the small artifact were biochemically tested, especially for the detection of bacteria, microorganisms, etc., and after confirming that there were no bacteria or microorganisms, ZH mice were still used again for biological experiments.

After an hour of spending time with metal fragments and small artifacts, the mice were still alive, and it was only then that scientists confirmed that there were no bacteria or microorganisms on the two alien creatures.

“…… Originally, I don't know how many years ago, and it was stored in a vacuum environment, and it was stored in a vacuum environment without light, so don't say whether there were microorganisms and bacteria before, and even if there were, it must have died in such an environment. One of the students looked at the scientists' cautious looks, and he whispered to the side.

But he didn't want to, what he was saying to another experimental student was heard by a researcher, who didn't alarm others, but said, "How do you know what form of alien creatures are?" The existence of living beings is the most wonderful miracle in this universe, no one knows what the limit of living things is, even in some crevices on the earth, there may be bacteria and microorganisms beyond human imagination, not to mention in the universe, maybe there may be bacteria and microorganisms that can survive only by cosmic radiation, young people, don't take it lightly, our negligent move, the result may be more than 100,000 people die together, human civilization is in our hands, be cautious and cautious, be careful and be careful. ”

The young experimenter hurriedly said yes, and it wasn't until the researcher turned his head that he pursed his lips disdainfully, but he didn't say much, and continued to look towards the biochemical testing table at the front desk.

"Okay, we've confirmed that there aren't any microorganisms or bacteria there, and we've done the experiment with high-metabolism ZH mice, and I'll sign the test report." Mitsuda Saburo said to the rest of the scientists.

These scientists are members of various groups, including the physics group, the energy group, the mechanical group, the material technology group, etc., they are all waiting for the end of the detection of these two alien creations, when they heard Mitsuda Saburo say this, they all clapped their hands vigorously, but they did not expect that their applause had just started, and a soft melodious melody suddenly sounded from the experimental table.

Everyone followed the sound, and finally everyone's eyes focused on the small metal ball that reflected the light, which looked about the size of a child's fist, and at this moment its shell had disintegrated, and the sound of music came from this shell.

A soft, melodious, child-like voice resounded in the laboratory......
