Chapter 300 The Pami star who walked out of the screen
Mars.
In that canyon, the alien spacecraft that was as huge as a hill, the Brood 1005, was still lying quietly in the canyon.
Not long ago, the two Earth astronauts who came here had already entered the interior of this alien spacecraft. Wearing bulky spacesuits, they walked unsteadily through the closed areas inside the spacecraft, and finally arrived at the 16th
Outside the district gate.
The two stopped, put down the small boxes in their hands, looked at each other, and then began to communicate in sign language.
If someone who understands sign language sees it at this time, he should be able to understand the meaning of their sign language.
The taller astronaut on the left: "Start now? Or take a rest?"
The shorter astronaut on the right: "Let's get started! Don't delay."
Astronaut on the left: "Okay!"
The astronaut on the right smiled back and gave an OK gesture.
Then the astronaut on the left bent down and opened the password box at his feet. The box opened, revealing a small machine.
The shape of this machine was quite strange. As the astronaut moved the machine with his hands, turning it here and lifting it there, it soon changed its shape, and a metal speaker that was originally folded and attached to the machine appeared.
The astronaut pointed the trumpet in front of him at the gate of Area 16.
After doing this, he raised his eyes and looked at the astronaut on his right.
The astronaut on the right gave him an OK gesture again.
The astronaut on the left returned an OK gesture, then lowered his head and reached out to press a red button on this weird machine.
But after pressing the button, there seemed to be no movement at the scene.
When I pressed the button, it was as if I hadn't pressed it, there was no sound, and there was no other movement.
but……
The next moment, without warning, the spacesuits on the two astronauts suddenly began to tremble and make a crackling sound.
Not only that, some dust on the ground also began to tremble violently, as if being constantly shaken by some invisible force.
The next moment, a mechanical clicking sound suddenly came from inside the gate of Area 16.
The air on Mars is thin, but there is air after all.
Therefore, the sound here can spread.
It's just that because the air is too thin, the efficiency of sound propagation is very low.
A sound of the same size may be deafening on Earth, but on Mars, it may be no more than a whisper.
With a clicking sound, the door to Area 16 suddenly opened slowly.
If combined with alien Ian, the method that just opened the door should be the so-called ultrasonic code.
This kind of code is unheard of for more than 99% of human beings.
But for the people on Planet Pami, this password is a very convenient and easy-to-use password.
Because people on Planet Pami can emit ultrasonic waves from their throats.
Therefore, they can emit ultrasonic waves without any tools, and it is naturally very convenient to use the so-called ultrasonic code.
The gate of Area 16 is round.
The diameter is about 5 meters.
The door is open and looks very wide.
Two astronauts from the American Space Exploration Technology Corporation looked at each other and smiled.
Then the astronaut on the left bent down to pack up the ultrasound machine, turned it back into a small box, carried it in his hand, straightened up, and walked into the gate of Area 16 with the astronaut on the right.
The astronaut on the right also picked up the small box he brought here again.
Area 16 has a large interior space.
The length and width are two to three hundred meters.
The height is more than 8 meters.
It's like a magnificent hall.
The hall is filled with various instruments.
At first glance, these instruments look a lot like modern instruments on Earth.
The two astronauts who had just entered this hall were not surprised.
They were sent to Mars and given important tasks. They were told many secrets before they came inside this huge spacecraft.
——Many modern technologies on Earth are the technologies of the Pami Planet.
As far as they know, the homeland of the Pami people has entered a period of decline due to the star gradually dimming and entering a period of decline. As a result, the temperature of the Pami planet has continued to drop. The entire planet has gradually been frozen and has become no longer suitable for life. Therefore, the entire Pami planet has
People can only start wandering in the universe.
As for their group, when they wandered to Mars, because the spacecraft ran out of energy, the spacecraft was attracted by the gravity of Mars, which caused the Brood-class spacecraft to crash on Mars.
After the Brood's Nest crashed, most of the Pami people on the spacecraft died.
Less than 10% of the survivors continued to wander forward in the Beetle, the only insect-class spacecraft in the mother nest.
But the energy on the Beetle is also limited.
(The brood and insect-class spacecraft require different energy types.)
So much so that when the wandering ancestors of the Parmi people accidentally discovered the Earth and flew to the Earth in the Beetle spacecraft, their energy was exhausted when they reached the moon.
Therefore, the wandering ancestors of the Parmi people could only abandon the Beetle and fly to the earth in a lower-level Egg aircraft.
The so-called egg-class aircraft are alien flying saucers that humans occasionally see at a glance.
The energy used by the Egg-class aircraft is also different from the energy type used by the Brood and Beetle.
But it's enough for them to fly from the moon to the earth.
Since then, this group of wandering Pami people have settled on the earth.
The Pami people who have settled on the earth have dreamed for generations that one day they can mine energy suitable for use by the Beetle and the Brood 1005 spacecraft on the earth.
Then search again for a life planet that is more suitable for the survival of the Pami Stars.
Because the environment of the earth is not very suitable for the survival of the Pami people.
As far as the two astronauts know, some bacteria and viruses on the earth are extremely poisonous to the Pami Stars. If they are even slightly contaminated, the Pami Stars, who should have a long lifespan, will die.
In addition, the gravity on the earth is also very unfriendly to the Pami people.
According to Ian, a Pami captured by the Space Exploration Technology Company, the normal height of a Pami is over two meters.
However, because the gravity on the earth is too great, the descendants of the ancestors of the Pami Stars who wandered to the earth became shorter and shorter with each generation.
Eventually, the height became generally no more than 80 centimeters today.
Moreover, according to Ian's explanation - there are no more than two hundred Pami people still living on the earth.
Already on the verge of extinction.
Therefore, for the Pami people still living on the earth, it is extremely urgent to leave the earth and find a new planet suitable for the Pami people to survive.
Otherwise, in a few hundred years, the Pami people on Earth will become extinct.
…
The above is all inside information known to these two astronauts.
And these inside information were all revealed by Ian, a Pami star captured by the Space Exploration Technology Company.
As for the information told by this alien, how much is true? How much is false? It's hard to say.
The two astronauts looked around this magnificent hall, and finally they looked at each other and communicated with each other in sign language.
The tall astronaut: "Shall we split up? Find the energy tank here as soon as possible?"
Short astronaut: "Okay!"
Then, the two began to move separately, one to the left, the other to the right, and began to search for the energy tank in Area 16 with faltering steps.
In the confession given by their company's prisoner, Ian, although he gave the password to the gate of Area 16, he also mentioned that once the energy tank of Area 16 is injected with the correct type of energy, the entire electronic system of Area 16 can be activated, thereby allowing
Humans can research and learn various technologies in Area 16.
However, although Ian himself is a Pami star, he was not the first batch of Pami stars to wander to the earth.
It is simply a descendant of the Parmis.
Therefore, although it knew the existence of the Beetle and Brood 1005 from the information left by its ancestors, and also knew the passwords for the many partition gates inside Brood 1005, it did not know the details of the interior of Brood 1005.
For example, Ian, who has never been inside Brood No. 1005, definitely doesn't know the location of the energy tank in Area 16.
Therefore, although Space Exploration Technology Company interrogated Ian many times and obtained many confessions, there was naturally nothing in those confessions that Ian did not know.
Two astronauts wearing heavy spacesuits separated one to the left and the other to the right and searched around the hall for the location of the energy tank.
Time passes little by little.
I don’t know how much time passed, but when the two of them had inspected most of the entire hall, the shorter astronaut’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He found a round metal pillar with a red "X" on it.
Moreover, under the "×" sign, there is a line of golden alien text.
And this line of golden alien text was exactly the Pami star text that the company's internal experts taught him before he came to Mars this time.
As far as he knew, these words were given by the captive Ian.
It means "energy tank".
Finally found the energy tank.
He excitedly turned to greet the other astronaut.
It's a coincidence that within a few seconds, another astronaut turned his head and looked here. Otherwise, the thin air here and the sound that can't travel far would not be able to be heard by the astronaut for a while.
shout.
When he saw another astronaut looking over here, the shorter astronaut discovered the energy tank. He quickly waved to the man and then pointed to the metal pillar beside him.
Soon, the tall astronaut quickened his pace and came here.
The two of them looked at the round metal pillar with excited expressions.
After the two exchanged gestures, the tall astronaut bent down again, opened the small box in his hand, and unfolded the small ultrasound machine. This time, he pressed a green button on the machine.
Still silent.
But soon, the spacesuits on their bodies began to tremble again, and the dust on the ground slowly began to vibrate.
The ultrasonic waves that they couldn't hear spread to the surroundings again.
A few seconds later, the metal in front of me suddenly made a clicking sound from the inside of the circular metal pillar that required one person to wrap around it.
Not loud.
But after a series of metal sounds, the metal pillar in front of me, close to the floor, suddenly clicked, and a metal panel opened, revealing a metal lid the size of a washbasin inside.
When the tall astronaut saw it, he quickly reached out and turned off the ultrasound machine.
Then he stretched out his hand and twisted it a few times to unscrew the metal cover. Then, he looked up at the shorter astronaut.
The other party smiled at him, immediately bent down and opened the small box in his hand.
As soon as the small box was opened, purple radioactive light shone out. The small box was obviously not big, but as soon as the small box was opened, the purple radioactive light instantly illuminated the entire hall.
That purple light is very different from the ordinary purple light. The wisps of purple light are clearly visible to the naked eye.
Like thin spider threads shooting out in all directions.
The purple light reflected the two astronauts next to them purple, and both of them looked excited and nervous.
With four hands, the two people carefully took out a ball with a blazing purple light from the box. Because the purple light was too bright, it was difficult to look directly at it, so it was impossible to see clearly what it was.
The two held it carefully, very slowly, but without any hesitation, and slowly brought the blazing purple ball to the metal pillar, the hole the size of a washbasin...
As the two men pushed forward almost simultaneously with all four hands, the ball with intense purple light disappeared at the entrance of the hole in an instant.
Fall inside this round metal column.
The two people quickly picked up the metal cover that they had unscrewed before and screwed it back on to cover the basin-sized hole.
As soon as they finished doing this, a dusty instrument in the hall suddenly lit up with a white light.
It was a large screen more than ten meters long and three meters wide.
The white light that suddenly lights up comes from this big screen.
As the large screen lit up, a line of golden Pami Star text appeared on the screen.
The eyes of the two astronauts were attracted, and they stood up at the same time, looking at the big screen in surprise.
And subconsciously walked over quickly.
But neither of them recognized the line of golden Pami Star text that flashed on the big screen.
They only thought that this was similar to the text on earth when computers were turned on, that they were irrelevant and did not need to be understood.
Facts seem to be validating their judgment.
On the big screen, seven or eight new lines of golden Pami Star text soon appeared.
The two astronauts from the Space Exploration Technology Corporation still did not understand the words.
Because the Pami star captured by their company, Ian, did not teach them the complete Pami star language.
Under the excited gazes of the two astronauts, lines of unfamiliar golden Pami star text flashed across the large screen.
About two minutes later.
The new Pami star finally stopped flashing on the big screen. However, on the big screen, light suddenly converged, just like the circles of water on a calm lake suddenly gathered together, and finally formed a golden Pami star.
This Pami star is not tall, only about 70 centimeters.
There was not much difference in height and appearance from the company prisoner the two astronauts had met - Ian.
The two astronauts looked startled when they saw the Pami star about 70 centimeters tall on the big screen.
I was thinking: Didn't Ian say that their ancestors were more than two meters tall? This big screen is more than three meters high. Why is the image of this golden Pami star only about 70 centimeters tall?
The next moment, something shocking happened to them both.
On the big screen, the golden Pami star looked at the two of them. Then, the golden Pami star on the screen took a step forward and walked out of the big screen, like a holographic projection, from the big screen.
, walking step by step to the floor outside the screen, looking at them dimly.
