The golden Pami star walked out of the big screen, looked at the two astonished astronauts with faint eyes, and suddenly asked: "You are the life of the planet? Why are you here?"
However, it speaks Pamistar language.
Two astronauts from Earth Space Exploration Technology Company, do you understand?
Therefore, their expressions became confused.
Seeing that they didn't answer, the people of Pami Star, which were formed by the gathering of golden light points, changed their language and asked: "What planet are you from? Why are you inside our mother nest of Pami Star?"
The two astronauts still didn't understand.
The two looked at each other with confused expressions. The taller astronaut raised his hand and pressed the speaker button on the shoulder of his spacesuit, and then cautiously said: "Are you an artificial intelligence? What's your name? I'm James. .Jonathan, can you tell me your name? We mean no harm."
The golden Pami star frowned slightly, seeming a little confused.
It is indeed the artificial intelligence inside the brood spacecraft, but when the spacecraft crashed on Mars, it entered a shutdown state because the brood space ran out of energy.
More than three thousand years have passed by, and it just woke up today with the restart of the mother nest host. To put it simply: it has never known the existence of earth civilization.
It is even less possible to know any language on earth.
Therefore, it did not understand what astronaut James Jonathan said.
It was silent for a moment, and then asked in another language: "Which planet are you from? There is no information about your kind of life in my database. Are you immigrants to Pami Planet?"
Two astronauts: "???"
They all guessed that this golden alien in a holographic projection state should be the artificial intelligence of this brood spacecraft.
The technology of holographic projection has long been developed on Earth.
So, they were not very surprised.
But what on earth was the artificial intelligence saying? Neither of them understood a word.
So, the shorter astronaut frowned and tried to communicate with the artificial intelligence with gestures.
He was using the sign language commonly used on Earth.
It's a pity that the golden artificial intelligence has never seen this set of sign language and still can't understand it.
For the next ten minutes, both parties tried to communicate.
Two astronauts are trying various ways to communicate with this artificial intelligence.
They tried to convince the AI that they meant no harm.
They also tried to get the artificial intelligence to recognize them as its new masters.
The artificial intelligence formed by the gathering of golden light points is constantly changing one different language after another, asking them about their identities and the reasons for their appearance inside the spacecraft.
Ten minutes later, the two astronauts were still patiently trying to communicate with the artificial intelligence in other ways.
but……
The artificial intelligence formed by the gathering of golden light points stopped talking.
It seemed to have tried all the languages it had mastered. It stared at the two astronauts for a moment with its faint eyes, and suddenly spoke again.
This time, it's in Pamistar.
"Brood 1005, exploring the world behind the unknown wormhole, successfully discovered the intelligent life of an unknown civilization, and achieved gratifying results in the exploration mission. According to the first principle of the exploration mission, report to the home star immediately, and send the report to the home star immediately! Prepare to send ,Sending,sent successfully!”
The two astronauts still couldn't understand its words.
The two looked at each other in confusion again, and then tried to communicate with the artificial intelligence again.
but……
The artificial intelligence that had successfully sent the report stared dimly at the two astronauts who kept making gestures. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and let out a sharp scream. Under the increasingly puzzled gazes of the two astronauts,
Its screams became shriller and shriller.
After a few seconds, its mouth opened as wide as possible, but the sharp scream suddenly disappeared.
Has it lost its voice?
When this idea flashed through the minds of the two astronauts, the dust on the surrounding instruments on the ground suddenly started to vibrate without any wind, and there seemed to be visible ripples spreading in the thin air.
The source of these ripples is the artificial intelligence formed by the gathering of golden light points.
As the dust on the instruments began to vibrate on the ground, the two astronauts were surprised to find that their spacesuits also began to tremble.
The two men lowered their heads in confusion and raised their hands. They were shocked to see that the spacesuits on their arms were shaking more and more violently. Not only the spacesuits on their arms were like this, they also saw the spacesuits on their legs and chests were shaking violently.
"this……"
"ultrasound?"
The two of them were talking to themselves in shock, looking horrified.
The two of them subconsciously looked up at the golden artificial intelligence, and with a horrified look on their faces, they subconsciously spoke.
"Don't!! Don't!! We really don't have any malicious intent..."
"Stop!! Stop!! We are your friends..."
Before they finished speaking, the helmet glass on their heads made a cracking sound, and at the same time, spiderweb-like cracks quickly appeared on the helmet glass.
The two people's expressions suddenly became extremely frightened.
They turned around and wanted to escape. Their survival instinct drove them to get away from here as quickly as possible, away from the golden artificial intelligence.
But, the next moment, the dust flying from the instrument suddenly exploded on the ground, and all the dust exploded into powdery mist at that moment.
At the same time, the bodies of the two astronauts sent by the American Space Exploration Technology Company... also exploded into a blood mist at that moment.
The shapes of the two people could still be seen in the blood mist that had just exploded, including the spacesuits and helmets they were wearing, which had all exploded into mist.
The next moment, the golden artificial intelligence closed its mouth.
The golden eyes looked at the two masses of blood mist.
The two masses of blood mist also slowly fell to the floor as the ultrasonic waves disappeared, eventually forming two pools of blood-colored paste.
As the bloody paste continued to flow, it eventually turned into a pool of bloody paste.
At this point, the golden artificial intelligence shifted its gaze and began to look around the entire hall.
It said to itself: "How long has it been? Looking at the dusty appearance here, it has been at least three thousand years. Three thousand years have passed. Have the captain and the others returned to the embrace of God? For such a long time, the mother planet has not discovered Brood 1005.
Is it too difficult to find here? However, I have just sent a report to the home star. The report contains the coordinates of this place. I believe that the home star will send people here soon to confirm. The home star 1005 is beyond repair, but I
It can also be transplanted to the new brood spaceship. My contribution should be enough for the home star to upgrade me and give me a new brood spaceship. Wait! Wait for someone to come from the home star!"
While muttering to itself, it walked back to the big screen step by step.
Eventually it disappeared.
Even the bright big screen dimmed.
Everything seems to be back to how it was before, except that there is a pool of blood-colored goo on the floor, and the door to Area 16 is still open.
…
Earth.
Humans on Earth are unaware of what happened on Mars at the moment.
Places that should be prosperous are still prosperous; places that should be peaceful are still peaceful; countries that were originally in a state of war are still continuing to fight.
America.
Texas, the city created by Space Exploration Technology Corporation-Interstellar Base.
Musk, the head of the company, is having a meeting in a conference room.
Musk looked at the participants and asked with a smile: "The TT should be returning soon, right? How long have they been landing on Mars? When do they plan to return?"
An old white man sitting on his left smiled and replied: "We are in contact with TT7 every day. However, they have not determined the return time yet because they were sent to open and explore the 16th area of the Brood 1005.
We haven't returned to TT7 yet, but I guess it will be soon, if there is nothing wrong with the password for Area 16 that Ian told us."
Musk was smiling all over his face, and everyone could tell that he was in a good mood at this time.
After listening to the report, he nodded and said: "Ian's verbal supply should be no problem. He does not dare to deceive us because he knows that once we find out that he has deceived us, he will pay a heavy price."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the conference room smiled.
Most people on earth don’t understand why Musk is so persistent in exploring Mars.
He is just a businessman.
So many countries in the world have no official plans to explore Mars. Why is he, a businessman, so keen on exploring Mars?
Aren't you afraid of bankruptcy?
The cost of sending a spacecraft to Mars every time is extremely high.
Without the wealth that rivals a country's wealth, ordinary businessmen would not dare to have similar thoughts.
But what puzzles many people is that Musk seems not to be afraid of bankruptcy. He not only founded a space exploration technology company, but also established a city called "Interstellar Base" to specialize in research and development of technology to explore Mars.
Moreover, over the years, he has indeed sent extremely expensive spacecraft to Mars again and again.
What he said to the outside world was that he wanted to open tourism from Earth to Mars and the possibility of human immigration to Mars.
This reason makes people all over the world think it is crazy.
There are still many places with beautiful scenery on the earth that have not been developed into tourist attractions. This guy actually wants to develop tourist attractions on Mars?
Do you even want to immigrate to Mars?
Is Mars really suitable for human settlement?
Haven't scientists long ago said that although there is air on Mars, the air is extremely thin and not suitable for human survival?
Only senior executives at SpaceX know why Musk has continued to burn money for many years and send spaceships to Mars one after another.
Everything happened just because they captured an alien named Ian.
And the confession this alien gave them was astonishing.
——On the moon, there once was a spaceship named Beetle, which has long been acquired by humans. This is also the main reason for the explosion of science and technology in the past one or two hundred years.
In addition, there is actually a higher-level Brood-class spacecraft on Mars.
When Musk first learned this secret, his biggest dream in his life became to explore Mars and study the Brood-class spacecraft on Mars.
If he could thoroughly study the Brood-class spacecraft, how far would his company's technology leap?
Just thinking about that wonderful prospect made him feel like a fire was burning in his heart.
If he can build a Brood-class spaceship, then...
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the conference room, interrupting the meeting.
Everyone frowned.
"Come in!"
Musk shouted in a deep voice.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a black uniform and a nameplate on his chest pushed the door in with a solemn expression.
"What happened?"
Musk asked with a frown.
"Boss! Some bad news just came from TT7. The two astronauts they sent to Brood 1005... lost contact."
"What?"
Musk's expression changed, and the expressions of other people in the conference room also changed slightly.
Because this situation of astronauts losing contact has never happened before.
Over the years, they have sent a large number of spacecraft to Mars.
Although the cost is huge, astronauts have never lost contact or even died.
Musk lowered his face, thought for a moment, and ordered: "Let them continue to contact the two astronauts and keep trying! Until they can contact the two astronauts!"
The middle-aged man who had just reported the news responded, then hesitated and asked: "Boss, what if you can't be contacted all the time? I suggest that if you still can't contact those two guys after 10 hours, order the people in the spacecraft to
Do you think it’s okay for other colleagues to go look for the two astronauts alone and at least figure out the reason why the two guys lost contact?”
Musk nodded slowly with a serious expression: "Yes! I will give you this authorization, and you will convey this order to the captain of the TT."
"Yes! Boss!"
…
China, the magical capital.
In Chen Yu's manor.
Chen Yu, who cannot take care of children, is soaking in mugwort water in the bathroom. The water is not for him, but for his wife Feng Yan who wants to give his son a mugwort water bath, saying it is good for the child's health.
So, the task of making bath water was handed over to Chen Yu.
Mugwort was brought over from home by his parents and grandma.
As early as this year's Lantern Festival, after it was confirmed that Feng Yan was pregnant, Chen Yu's parents, at the suggestion of Chen Yu's grandma, made a lot of preparations for the upcoming child.
For example: During the season when wormwood matures, I went to the mountains to find a lot of wormwood. After harvesting it and returning home, I dried it and put it away.
This time they came to see the little guy and brought a lot of dry mugwort.
They are all prepared for bathing children.
This is a folk tradition in Huizhou Prefecture. Children should take mugwort baths from an early age. It is said that it can improve the child's immunity and prevent them from getting sick.
When Chen Yu was a child, he often took baths like this.
Back then, it was his grandmother and parents who prepared such bath water for him.
Now, it was his turn to prepare this kind of bath water for his child.
Everything is like a cycle.
The boiling hot water was poured into the bathtub with dried mugwort in it. The hot steam rose and slowly bubbled out light yellow juice, dyeing the clear water in the basin yellow.
…
When the water temperature was cool enough for the baby to bathe, Feng Yan carried the baby to the bathroom, and the couple cooperated to undress and bathe the baby.
Maybe it was a coincidence, or maybe the child who had never taken a bath many times was afraid of hot water. As soon as Feng Yan put the naked little guy into the hot water in the basin, the little guy trembled all over, and the little penis screamed out.
