According to past records, this is a group of wandering small celestial bodies that will "pass by" the solar system at a distance of 2.7 light-years from the orbit at that time.

Strangely, according to the current orbit, this group of small celestial bodies will enter the solar system in the near future.

Astronomers in the world have calculated and calculated, but no matter what, they can't find out what changed the orbit of the wandering small celestial body...... The only explanation is human interference.

The bold informant boldly guessed that it was not a stray asteroid swarm, but an alien fleet!

Unfortunately, the intelligence officer's discovery did not attract the attention of the high-ranking bureaucrats, and in a fit of rage, the intelligence officer simply made his discovery public.

As a result, what was originally just a secret search for traces of aliens became a national campaign, and I don't know how many people in Lu Dao stared at the sky with wide eyes and forgot to sleep or eat, and for a while, all kinds of astronomical telescopes were sold out.

Several major space nations also woke up suddenly, and they all set their eyes on the broader void.

In addition, the existence of the Death Star Domain also reminded everyone that all the reconnaissance ships of the Celestial Army were dispatched to various places at the edge of the solar system to conduct comprehensive reconnaissance.

However, at present, the reconnaissance ship is still on its way to the edge of the solar system, and it will not be able to reach the place in ten and a half days, and in addition, it will have to carry out reconnaissance when it arrives in the outer Neptune region, and it may take another ten days and half a month to get news.

The aliens' spaceships and battleships don't use half a piece of iron, not a close-range visual inspection, it's hard to tell whether it's a spaceship or a small celestial body, even if there is news in a month, it's considered fast, and it's better to wait for the alien to come by himself by looking for a needle in a haystack.

Time flies quietly unconsciously, and although the research of the alien spacecraft has not yielded any results, the research of the alien skeleton man has advanced by leaps and bounds.

With the help of a powerful supercomputer, the numerical model of the exoskeleton was fed into the calculations, and the functions of the various organs were analyzed, and conclusions close to the truth were quickly drawn.

Speaking of veterinarians' inferences are still too empirical, and the results of the analysis show that the exoskeleton people have no vocal organs at all, nor do they have hearing organs, that is to say, the exoskeletons are all mute and deaf.

This discovery once made the intelligence department preparing to interrogate the alien skeleton frustrated, but the question arises again, one of the most important characteristics of intelligent beings is the social nature of division of labor and cooperation, how can there be division of labor and cooperation without communication? Is it by sign language?

The research almost came to a standstill, and Zhou Kuang gathered all the researchers together to brainstorm ideas, hoping to find a breakthrough.

Everyone was inexplicable, and they really couldn't think of a reason, a white and innocent researcher twisted for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Outer bone man...... Will...... Telepathy, no need to speak, no need to listen...... "Speaking of which, even he himself can't go on, such a ridiculous conjecture should not come out of the mouth of a serious researcher."

Zhou Kuang's eyebrows jumped, although he thought that this conjecture was pure nonsense, but he still praised two sentences: "Yes, we just have to jump out of the inherent thinking, we can't look at aliens with the eyes of human beings, the universe is so big, there are any possibilities, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake, at least you can use the elimination method." Although he didn't say it explicitly, he already had a negative meaning in his words.

"Team leader, I have an idea too." Another tall researcher said.

Zhou Kuang's spirits perked up: "Speak quickly!" ”

"The eyes of the Exoskeletons are particularly developed, and I think that their eyes may not only be used to see, but may be able to convey information like the light of a battleship." The tall researcher's research direction is the eyes of the exoskeleton.

By human standards, a bull's eye is not as big as an exoskeleton's eyeball, unless it's an elephant's eye. But it is only similar in size, and the complexity of the eyes of the exoskeleton is far greater than that of any species on Earth.

Zhou Kuang nodded noncommittally: "There is also this possibility." "It's a little more reliable than telepathy, but it's still a bit mysterious.

There was silence in the conference room, and suddenly a slightly chubby researcher slapped his forehead: "Don't we have two captives?" ”

"Li Jiang, don't fight the idea of being a prisoner, it's just two lives." Zhou Kuang said dissatisfiedly.

Li Jiangfen didn't let it go: "What's the idea of not beating the two of them...... Hear me out! My idea is very simple, two poor worms who are in sympathy with the same disease, fall into our hands, and I don't know whether we will die or live tomorrow, as long as we lock them together, they can keep their mouths shut and not communicate...... Well, I know that the mouth of the outer skeleton is simply for eating, but you know what I mean? ”

Zhou Kuang's eyes lit up: "Good idea!" "For a long time, the two outer skeletons have been imprisoned separately, so I didn't think of this method.

He immediately arranged for the two captives to be kept in a well-equipped monitoring laboratory, where any changes were monitored by the instruments to ensure that no clues were missed.

Zhou Kuang personally stood outside the laboratory and waited patiently.

"Report, Team Leader." A researcher found Zhou Kuang, "The results of the analysis are out." ”

Zhou Kuang's serious face suddenly squeezed out two smiles: "How is it?" ”

The researcher's expression was unusually strange: "Analyze the results, and say that the ingredient that poisoned the exoskeleton man should be sodium chloride ......"

"What? Are you kidding! Zhou Kuang snatched the analysis report and saw it from beginning to end at a glance.

Sure enough, the report shows that the effect of salt on the exoskeleton is like the toxicity of arsenic to humans, no wonder feeding one to death, and it really makes the black bear say, change it to canned fruit, maybe the real medicine will not kill them.

"Damn, we're not afraid of the Outer Bone Man coming, how can there be a creature on Earth without salt?" Zhou Kuang pursed his lips and smiled, "It's okay this time...... Well, the spaceship is full of canned food, and there is nothing unsalted, contact the base to see if you can get some fresh meat. ”

Although the analysis report believes that salt is the cause of poisoning the Outer Bone Man, in order to prevent accidents, Zhou Kuang does not dare to feed the Outer Bone Man anything containing food additives, so it is better to be careful.

The researcher's face was full of confusion: "Team leader, the blood is also salty, if you feed fresh meat, in case you ......"

Is fresh meat so easy to make? There is a small farm at the Saturn base, but the gravity of the Saturn base is low, and land animals cannot reproduce at all, and only amphibians and fish can not be affected.

Zhou Kuang patted his head: "No, I forgot about it." Forget it, let's continue to let the two of them eat the corpses of their companions. He wanted to try canned fruit or something, but he didn't dare to risk it again.

Although there are a lot of corpses of the Outer Skeleton Man, if they have to be studied and eaten, I am afraid they will not last long.
