Chapter 17 The curtain is lifted

Ruan Lin once again had a familiar sense of body manipulation. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Titan, I saw a very similar appearance to my original body.

"Dr. Ruan, this new body of yours is equipped with a scaled up host comparable to a human brain, so you don't have to worry about computing power. Its artificial skin has been modified to prevent radiation and reduce high temperatures.

And the eyes of this body have built-in red ultraviolet observation equipment and night vision equipment. Each joint does its best to mimic human feedback feelings. Most importantly, it simulates the vibrations of the vocal cords to produce sound. ”

Ruan Lin stretched: "Thank you, wit." The next step is for you to do the manufacturing work on the surface. I'll contact you in case of unforeseen circumstances. ”

"Wit, open the hatch."

Ruan Lin was followed by several survey robots, clinging to him like a fart.

The hatch quickly opened, and Ruan Lin once again felt everything around him from a human perspective: the water vapor from the fountain quickly condensed into large snowflakes, mercilessly slapping on his face.

Ruan Lin vented his long-standing pressure towards Jupiter, who was half a field of vision: "Now I have finally come here after a lot of hardships!" What the hell are you going to do! If it was just a joke spanning millions of years, I wouldn't accept it! ”

He stepped half-step onto Europa's surface, and the touch was as smooth as the ground of an ice rink. The excavation robots behind him also began to set foot on this planet that humans had never landed on one after another.

Ruan Lin jumped on the spot, because Europa's surface gravitational acceleration is only one-seventh that of the Earth, and the fall is very slow after this jump, which is what it feels like to float.

Ruan Lin walked briskly to the edge of the big hole. He turned on the night vision device and jumped forward: "Good luck to us, good luck to human civilization." ”

This direct descent was like the fall of a feather, and he swayed from side to side at this point, and the acceleration of the fall was a slow and long process.

Ruan Lin saw the ground that could land through the night vision device, but it was still far away from him at this time.

According to the energy calculations of the indicator, the thick ice has been broken through at least 8 km. Now it's time to wait for the landing in this slow descent.

With 1km to go, he began to slow down by leaning on the somewhat rugged ice around him, holding them tightly with his hands to minimize the acceleration of the landing.

When he reached the ground, Ruan Lin raised his head, his eyes widened, and his subsequent hand movements seemed to freeze: there was an artificially carved triangular passage directly in front of him.

He walked through the passage step by step as if he were walking on thin ice, until he reached the end, and the space inside became wide again.

Nguyen Lam saw a round-arched gate made of olive meteorite: it was about 20 meters high and nearly 10 meters wide at its widest point.

What a handiwork! Collect so many rare meteorites just to build a gate.

It didn't have any cover, as if it was just waiting for Ruan Lin to enter.

Passing through this door, the surrounding space is more than doubled, but there is no decoration around it, and it is difficult to identify the structure of this hall.

Ruan Lin cautiously continued to walk forward, only to hear a low voice suddenly echo!

Ruan Lin still couldn't fully understand the purpose of this alien civilization. He was a little flustered at once, but the desire to explore from his heart still drove him to move forward step by step.

Ruan Lin didn't have any means to analyze the specific meaning of this sound, it seemed to be a piece of noise, and it didn't make any sense!

Ruan Lin could feel the fear from the soul, this was the first kind of contact of the third kind in the history of mankind!

It was as if he was hallucinating, as if an extraterrestrial being was staring at him right now.

Ruan Lin raised his head suddenly, and there was nothing.

At this time, the noises gradually became distorted, and Ruan Lin stopped his steps. This is a fear that transcends human fantasies.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Ruan Lin and the robots around him all stayed quietly in place.

This noise is gradually starting to form a human voice!

Ruan Lin had 10,000 fantasies at this time: Could it be that extraterrestrial civilization is actually an ancient civilization of human beings? Or can he imitate human looks and voices...

The noise suddenly stopped, turning into a hollow human voice, repeating a sentence in various human languages:

"Are you ready?"

Accompanied by the words spoken by the hollow human voice, a low rumbling sound suddenly sounded. A corridor that seemed to have no end in sight appeared.

Ruan Lin also gradually calmed down at this time and walked towards the entrance of the corridor.

He wanted to use humor to ease his fears: "How much this extraterrestrial civilization likes to open doors, here are a few!" ”

It wasn't until the end of the corridor that Ruan Lin fully understood the scientific and technological prowess of this civilization.

The hall was surrounded by countless connections of some kind, emitting a faint blue light that made them look like computers.

In the center of the hall are the three passages that connect the other three passages, and in the center is a huge 'eyeball'. It is connected to the surrounding instruments.

Ruan Lin didn't dare to assert the role of this 'eyeball'. In these few minutes, the impact of the surrounding things on him was too great, and everything was beyond the scope of imagination.

At this moment, the reverberating hollow voice began to speak again:

"Only those who are qualified can continue."

Suddenly, one of the passages slowly opened.

"You stay where you are!" Ruan Lin walked towards the passage without looking back.

He reached the end of the passage, where there was only one chair and a white glow all around. It is very much in line with human body mechanics, and Ruan Lin speculated that this extraterrestrial civilization was also humanoid.

It's just that this chair is a bit huge compared to him.

Ruan Lin sat up without hesitation, and the empty voice raised a question that did not surprise Ruan Lin without any surprise:

"What river system is your home planet in? Which galaxy? ”

Ruan Lin calmly replied: "My home star is in the solar system within the Milky Way, it is located on the Orion arm of the Milky Way, my home star is called Earth, and it is about 26,000 light-years away from the silver center. The Earth is in the third orbit within the solar system. ”

The hollow voice rang out again: "Go to the next passage and proceed to the next stage of questioning." ”

Ruan Lin's pace back to the hall gradually accelerated, and he couldn't wait to know what would happen when the remaining questions were over.

He walked out of this passage, and as far as he could see, another passage had already opened.

Again a familiar scene, a chair and the white glow around it.

Ruan Lin sat up again, waiting for a question.

The empty voice seemed to have a hint of emotion this time:

"What would you do if you were in contact with another civilization for the first time?"

After a little thought, Ruan Lin gave his inner answer: "When I first come into contact with other civilizations, I must first contact the other party to determine whether the other party is a civilization that is hostile to me. If the opponent goes straight into the fighting mode, I will also give him a painful response.

But I wouldn't do something so stupid as that civilization did. How can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet? If I encounter a civilization that is stronger in science and technology than me, I will end up with a death.

I'll never show my fangs first, good hunter prey too! I don't underestimate a civilization either. There is an idiom on my home planet called "Lion fights rabbit", and I use all my strength.

If they connect well with me, that's the best outcome. But I'll never let my guard down. If it is not of my race, its heart will be punished. ”
