Starship bilge.

The gate opened, the artificial gravity was closed, and a group of commandos dragged ropes into the hatch, dragging in like a tug-of-war, dragging in a captive covered in cable ties like a cocoon.

The airlock was closed, inflated and repressurized, and the soldiers welded a special steel chair to the ground, disinfected the captives in all directions, and then stripped off all the equipment of his body one by one, and fixed them on the chairs.

At each step, disinfection procedures are strictly followed, and no omissions are allowed.

The captive, however, behaved strangely, struggling at first, but soon fell silent, looking around like a curious baby, and even looking excitedly expectant.

Outside the cabin, Ou Zhanpeng and the others witnessed the whole process, and Ling Xiao's boss was reluctant: "Why did you send the captives here?"

Ou Zhanpeng sighed: "Just our place is big, where can we send it if we don't send it here?"

When everyone heard this, they were suddenly stunned.

The captive is four meters tall, and ordinary battleships are really not that big. The Star Boat was different, the Prophet was one meter taller than the captive, more than enough to accommodate the captive.

Fortunately, the Xingzhou uses holographic projection control, and the control system can be large or small, otherwise with the size of the Xingzhou, Ou Zhanpeng will not be able to play such a big battleship even if he is stepping on stilts.

Ou Zhanpeng looked at the captive on the chair, thought for a while, and said, "Director, I suggest adding a few more restraints."

"Is it necessary?" Shan Qiuyu asked in surprise.

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." Ou Zhanpeng insisted on his opinion.

Although the captives have been stripped into bare pigs, he knows better than anyone that aliens are around, what if this kind of change in him is prevalent in aliens?

Shan Qiuyu glanced at Ou Zhanpeng deeply and nodded to inform the commando.

A few more restraints were added to the captive, and he was firmly bound to the chair.

On the surface, the captives were almost indistinguishable from humans, except that their hair was more sparse, their skin was whiter, and their facial features were somewhere between those of the yellow race and the white race.

In the cabin, several medical personnel approached the captive, attached various electrodes and detection instruments to the captive, and conducted a comprehensive examination of him from top to bottom, recording the results of each test in detail.

The captive was surprisingly cooperative, without the slightest sign of resistance, and behaved like a little white rabbit, which surprised everyone for a while: when he was arrested, he was still fighting with the commandos, why did he seem to be a different person now?

Seeing the situation clearly and resigning to fate?

"Report!" A soldier raised his hand and saluted, handing a paper document to Shan Qiuyu, "Director, this is the captive's genetic sequencing report."

Shan Qiuyu opened it and asked casually, "What is the result?"

"The double helix, 24 pairs of chromosomes, 82% of the genes coincide with human genes."

Shan Qiuyu looked up in amazement: "So low?"

The genetic difference between humans and chimpanzees is only 1.6%, but they are two completely different specialty, and the genetic difference between humans and 4-meter people has reached a staggering 18%, but just looking at the appearance, they are exactly the same species.

"There are big differences, but the key positions are basically the same, and it can be determined that there is a genetic kinship between the earthling and the 4-meter person." Said the warrior. ….

"Okay, I see." Shan Qiuyu signed his name and returned the document to the soldier.

Ling Xiao couldn't help but complain: "What kind of blood relationship is this?" Turning his head, he found that Ou Zhanpeng's face was calm, and he couldn't help but show a puzzled look, "Don't you want to say something?"

"What is there to say? How much do you think we are genetically different from the Prophet? What about the Prophet and the 4-meter man?" Ou Zhanpeng asked.

Ling Xiao was stunned, but Shan Qiuyu's eyes lit up: "This is necessary to check carefully, have you brought the genetic sample of the prophet?"

Ling Xiao flipped his head, and Ou Zhanpeng shook his head: "We haven't even opened the hibernation pod, how can we have a genetic sample of the prophet?"

"Then hurry up when you go back here, the height difference between the 4-meter man and the prophet is only one meter, and there may be any relationship between the two." Shan Qiuyuti

Come up with a very constructive assumption.

Ou nodded: "Okay, let's go back."

The cabin was as planned, but Ling Xiao was bored, and opened his mouth wide and yawned like a lazy hippopotamus: "Hey, you can't ask questions and you can't interrogate, what's the use of just measuring and measuring here?"

"What can I do if I don't have a quantity? Understanding a little is a little." Shan Qiuyu said.

Ou Zhanpeng suddenly made a new suggestion: "Why don't we take a look at the white ship?"

Shan Qiuyu immediately nodded: "It's okay!"

Several people put on their gear and drove the shuttle aboard the white ship.

The white ship was full of commandos, who rummaged through every nook and cranny of the ship, and searched for everything of value.

The white ship's technological level far exceeds that of human warships, but Shan Qiuyu always feels that this battleship is far inferior to the Xingzhou.

Everyone walked into the bridge under the guidance of a warrior, and a pool of bright red blood outside the hatch stood out from the eyes.

Entering the control cabin, Ou Zhanpeng and Ling Xiao glanced at each other tacitly, and Shan Qiuyu was very surprised, the white ship actually used a holographic control system, and some of the projections looked very familiar.

Ou Zhanpeng is not only familiar, but simply the same!

"What is the relationship between the 4 meters and the prophet?" Shan Qiuyu was puzzled, and suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could it be that the Xingzhou is 4 meters man-made?"

"Probably not." Ou Zhanpeng said with great certainty.

Shan Qiuyu was stunned: "What do you know?"

Ou Zhanpeng didn't plan to hide it: "If what we know is true, the time when the Xingzhou base arrived in the solar system was at least three million years ago."

Shan Qiuyu paused, stunned: "Didn't you say that you weren't sure if those images were real?"

"Some of them are actually certain." Ou Zhanpeng said, "I saw that after the prophet arrived on the earth, he wrapped the solar system with a space-time bubble and supported an intelligent civilization on the earth, and the spacecraft of Project 858 appeared in the materials of the first generation of civilizations. If there is no problem with the dating of Project 858, then the approximate time of the arrival of the Xingzhou base in the solar system can be determined."

Only then did Shan Qiuyu understand where the three million years came from: "It is impossible to make a mistake in the dating of the 858 Project...... You mean, the 4-meter people were also supported by the prophet?"

Ou Zhanpeng looked around the bridge: "There is more than one civilization supported by the prophet, as far as I know, the prophet has supported four generations of earth civilizations, the first generation is the giant civilization 3 million years ago; the second is the Little Giant civilization 2 million years ago; The third generation is a pre-civilization a million years ago, more than two meters tall; Finally, it's our generation." ….

Ooh!

These words almost shattered Shan Qiuyu's three views, it turns out that human beings themselves are alien species?

In fact, it's not a big deal, my heart is my hometown, human beings were born on the earth and grew up on the earth, then human beings are earthlings, and it doesn't matter who supports them or not.

"Where are all the civilizations in front of you?" Shan Qiuyu was eager to understand what the results of those prehistoric civilizations would be in the end.

"I don't know." Ou Zhanpeng shook his head, "There is no video data in this regard, these 4-meter people may be related to the first generation of civilization."

He suddenly found a projection in the corner that was very similar to the astrolabe, leaned over and waved his hand, and the astrolabe lit up instantly.

Shan Qiuyu hurriedly stopped: "Don't move!"

Ou Zhanpeng shook his head, and his hand kept moving: "It's okay."

"Don't worry." Ling Xiao said, "He's dealing with these things all day long, and it's fine."

Shan Qiuyu was still worried, staring closely at Ou Zhanpeng's movements.

I saw him reach out, and a projection of the solar system immediately appeared in the middle of the bridge.

Pick it up again, and the solar system will shrink rapidly and turn into a brilliant starry sky - without any astronomical background, you won't have any special ideas when you see this star map, but those who are familiar with the starry sky will find that this is clearly a three-dimensional star map near the solar system!

Centaur α Triad, Blue Dwarf Sirius A, White Dwarf Sirius B......

Ou Zhanpeng continued to operate, and the star map pressed again

Shrinking, more stars appeared on the astrolabe, not only that, but he also found the white ship's logbook, but it was still the same problem, and he couldn't read the text on it at all.

"Look at this!" Ou Zhanpeng took a picture of the logbook, "The text of the 4 meters is very similar to the text of the prophet, and there are many similarities with 858, I am sure that although the 4 meters and we are not of the same race, at least they are of the same origin."

As he spoke, the star map was compressed again, and hundreds of points of light were densely displayed on the astrolabe, which made people's eyes dazzled.

"Here!" Ling Xiao let out an exclamation, attracting Shan Qiuyu's attention.

Only then did he realize that there were several specially marked stars on the edge of the star map, some green, some red, and some black.

In addition, there are several spaces where there are no stars, which are also marked in detail.

"What is this?" Shan Qiuyu asked.

"I don't know." Ling Xiao replied crisply.

Shan Qiuyu was half angry when he was angry, whose bear child is this?

Ou Zhanpeng clicked a few times on his personal terminal, repeatedly photographed from different angles, and continued to manipulate the star map, but the astrolabe did not move.

"Let's go, let's go back!" He said.

Shan Qiuyu was even more dizzy: "Let's go back?"

Ou Zhanpeng shook his arm: "The most important information has arrived, why don't you go back?"

After returning to the Star Boat, Ou Zhanpeng immediately called up the star map and found that the stars marked by the white ship were all ordinary and nothing special.

Ou Zhanpeng carefully compared and re-marked the stars and spaces marked by the white ship.

After a period of buffering, Shan Qiuyu had realized what Ou was doing.

Regardless of whether the marked stars are the homes of 4-meter people or the lair of star thieves, they are all forces that are not very friendly to humans, and to put it inappropriately, this star map is definitely the first map of extraterrestrial forces that humans have mastered. ….

Human beings have reached the inflection point of breaking out of the home galaxy, and they have a certain understanding of the situation outside before going out, and rushing out frizzily without understanding at all, are two completely different concepts.

It's like the Age of Discovery, knowing where there are islands, where there are ocean currents, where there is hospitality, and where swords are fighting, the voyage will be smooth sailing.

Ou Zhanpeng clapped his hands and called it a day, and suddenly gave Shan Qiuyu a suggestion: "Director, if the white ship can be repaired, if it can't be repaired, I suggest transplanting its control system to the broken ship."

"Transplant? Why?" Shan Qiuyu was puzzled.

Ou Zhanpeng said seriously: "That system can make the broken ship move, and it can also control the wormhole."

There is no need to hammer the drum, Shan Qiuyu suddenly understood.

Although the Xingzhou is strong, it will soon return to the base, otherwise the Xingzhou base will lose its control center, and its function will inevitably be greatly affected.

Although the star boat is good, it also has many restrictions, and as long as it is possible, the military will not put all its hopes on a warship.

It would be different if the white ship or the broken ship could be repaired, not only would it allow the military to get a second battleship with the ability to jump, but it would also be able to build an instantaneous bridge between the earth and the starship base!

From now on, there will be no need for a long and time-consuming journey from the Earth to the Starship Base, and the communication between the Earth and Mars and Jupiter will be smoother and more convenient, completely changing the embarrassing situation of human beings trapped in a corner of the galaxy.

Furthermore, it is also a stepping stone for humanity to fly out of the solar system, and it is perfectly possible to launch a real voyage at the right time to fly near Proxima Centauri, Sirius, and other stars.

At the same time, it is also effective in countering star thieves and 4-meter people, and it may even take the initiative to attack one day in the future to avoid the flames of war burning into the solar system again!

Thinking of this, Shan Qiuyu was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he couldn't wait to repair the battleship immediately, drive the starship across the universe, fly to the distant deep space, and see those different scenery with his own eyes.

Shan Qiuyu also knew that it was very difficult to realize his expectations, but he didn't even dare to think about how it could be the day when his dream came true

？

He immediately grasped the point and grabbed Ou Zhanpeng's arm: "How much support can you give to Luojian Mountain? I mean technical support!"

Ou Zhanpeng smiled bitterly: "Now it's not a question of whether I want to take it or not, but I can't take it out at all, if you are in a hurry, set up the research team as soon as possible, and let us return to the base as soon as possible...... I have a few things I don't like, and you should listen to them."

"You say!"

"We don't know exactly where the White Ship came from, but the fact that they shouted and killed as soon as they arrived on Earth is a very clear indication of their basic attitude towards us. You said that after the 4-meter people knew that their warship was broken on the earth, would they negotiate with us amicably and resolve it peacefully, or would the army continue to press the border?"

The belligerent will die, but forgetting the war will be dangerous, and it is necessary to guard against it!

Shan Qiuyu sighed bitterly: "Do you still need to ask, the star thief is not a good thing, and the 4-meter person is also not a good bird, we must prepare for the worst!"

"That's what I meant." Ou Zhanpeng said, "Actually, I also know that there are capable people above, and I don't need to be a little shrimp at all, but I just can't help but want to say a few words."

The atmosphere was obviously very heavy, but Shan Qiuyu was amused by Ou Zhanpeng's words: "You don't have to be so modest, you are not an ordinary person now, there is one in the entire Blue Star, who dares not to take your words to heart?" We old guys are already going to be eliminated by the times, and in the future, it's up to you young people!"
