Chapter 234 Extra Thirteen
On this day, Lu Ming was still training when he heard the announcement, "The spacecraft will arrive at the set coordinates in half an hour. Everyone, please go to the entrance and exit and be ready."
She was startled and thought to herself, it’s finally here!
On the observation deck, Carl frowned, wondering where they were. Didn't they say they had nowhere to go?
As he guessed, he followed the broadcast instructions and came to the entrance on the 100th floor of the spacecraft.
The entrance and exit is where items or personnel on the spacecraft get on and off the spacecraft. The entire floor, which is huge, is divided into different areas, such as the inspection area, lifeboat berthing area, life capsule launching area, etc., and there are floor-to-ceiling windows all around, allowing people to see the situation around the spacecraft.
As soon as he got off the elevator, he saw Lu Ming and Lan standing not far away.
So after several days, he finally saw her again.
She was still wearing the same blue uniform as when they first met, but looking at her now, he felt that she was completely different from then.
Karl stared at her back for a moment, then walked over and asked behind the two of them: “What happened?”
Lu Ming ignored him. Instead, Lan turned to him and explained, "We recently discovered an object that was constantly sending out signals, so we decided to actively approach it. Now, we've reached a position where we can make contact with it."
Carl frowned. Signal?
Could it be other intelligent creatures?
So the three of them walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows at the front of the spacecraft and looked out.
As the spacecraft slowly moved forward, a white object in the distance gradually came into their sight.
Ten minutes later, the fleet arrived at the set coordinates and all the spacecraft stopped.
At this time, they could finally see the whole picture of the object.
It's a small oval-shaped...egg?
Luming and Lan looked at each other.
This is far away from what they thought it was.
However, they decided to pull the egg onto the spacecraft and study it carefully.
After a preliminary inspection by the detection robot, a long robotic arm stretched out from the side of their main ship, grabbed the egg, and then slowly retracted it.
As the egg got closer to the spaceship, Lu Ming and Carl began to get nervous.
Are there other space races in it?
The three of them moved to the observation room, and then looked at the isolation room on the outermost side of the spacecraft through a very large one-way glass.
All unidentified objects must first be isolated in an isolation room for 28 hours and only after strict inspection will they be allowed to officially enter the spacecraft.
So they stood behind the observation glass window, staring closely at the outermost hatch.
The hatch slowly opened, and the egg was pushed in, floating to the center of the observation room. Then four fixed robotic arms rose from the floor and pressed it firmly to the ground.
Xing's voice echoed in the observation room: "Attention all passengers, an unidentified object has been detected entering the spacecraft. The inspection procedure is now beginning. Please do not open the door to the observation room until the inspection is completed, otherwise you will be quarantined together."
With a beep, a screen appeared in front of them and began to scroll through countless inspection messages.
"Radiation: None."
"Temperature: -78°."
"Biological examination: No viruses, no bacteria."
"Vital signs: None."
This showed that Lu Ming and Karl were both disappointed but relieved.
In other words, this egg that is two people tall is empty?
They didn't understand many of the subsequent inspections, but they were all green, which meant that the egg was safe and should not be a weapon of other intelligent life.
This confirms Lan's initial guess—it might be a lifeboat.
But for some unknown reason, the owner of the lifeboat did not succeed in getting on it.
After the isolation was completed, the three of them walked into the isolation room carefully. At the same time, the uniforms on their bodies automatically changed their shape, wrapping them up completely to avoid being directly exposed to the environment here.
After studying for a while, they encountered several difficulties.
The first difficulty is that the egg is still sending out signals continuously, but now in addition to its own coordinates, there is some more content. However, they don’t know what this extra content means because the signal encoding method is unprecedented.
The second difficulty is that the "eggshell" of this egg is tightly sealed and very hard. No matter what method is used, it cannot be opened.
"Isn't this a solid one?" Lu Ming frowned and looked at it, muttering to himself.
When Karl next to him heard it, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips slightly, and glanced at her secretly.
But the next second, her action startled him.
She suddenly removed the protection on her hands and reached out to touch the egg.
“Don’t touch!”
"don't want!"
Two voices rang out at the same time. Lan and Karl both reached out to stop her, but neither of them succeeded.
Her hand firmly touched the egg...
Karl quickly grabbed her hand and frowned: “What are you doing? This is very dangerous.”
Lu Ming shook off his hand and frowned, saying, "It's none of your business, don't touch me!"
Karl choked, pursed his lips, and said nothing more.
Lan advised from her other side, "Be careful, it might have a defense system."
Lu Ming stuck out her tongue at him, "I know. I'll try it."
Karl glanced at the backs of the two of them, feeling quite unhappy.
However, at this moment, the originally quiet egg suddenly began to tremble!
The three of them were startled and looked up quickly.
Karl was just about to take a step forward and stretch out his hand to block Lu Ming, but he didn't expect Lan to be faster and was already standing in front of Lu Ming. He immediately stopped and gave up this plan.
The white egg trembled for a while, and then it cracked in the middle with a "click", and a door-shaped shape appeared on the surface of the egg.
After a while, the door slowly dissolved piece by piece, forming a dark entrance.
The three tried to look inside, but were all stunned.
Although the egg looked only about two people tall and one person wide, they saw from the outside that it was actually more than 100 square meters inside and more than five meters high!
“This is space technology.”
Lan said so.
This only happens when the exterior space is not in the same space as the interior space.
He walked in first.
It was empty inside, with nothing around, only a black device similar to a hibernation chamber parked in the middle.
The three of them wandered around for several times, and Lu Ming fearlessly touched the wall a few times, but nothing popped out.
So they gathered near the hibernation chamber, thinking about how to open it.
However, this time, they did not dare to try any tough methods, for fear that there might be some offensive weapons that would suddenly appear and beat them into pieces.
After all, the technological level of this lifeboat is obviously far superior to theirs.
Lan suddenly thought of the scene when Lu Ming just opened the door, then tilted her head and said, "Hello."
At the same time, another voice sounded: "Hello?"
Lan turned to look at Carl who spoke at the same time and nodded at him.
However, Carl glanced at him sideways and ignored him.
Why is it him again?!
Depend on.
Lu Ming suddenly understood, oh, it turns out that this egg can communicate?
So she just communicated with it by accident?
A moment later, a sound was heard from the lifeboat.
“&……%（*&￥%&”
Luming:?
She looked at Lan inquiringly, and Lan shrugged at her, indicating that there was no such language in his system either.
The remaining person was naturally ignored.
So, embarrassingly, they couldn't understand what it was saying...
Lu Ming tried to talk to it, "I don't understand, can you switch to Earth language?"
“……*&%￥#*”
Seeing this, Lan tried to communicate with it by switching between more than a dozen languages, but all failed.
Then Carl tried to communicate with it using various encryption methods, but none of them worked.
Tsk, is it really that difficult to communicate with alien creatures?
After trying for several hours, the three of them still made no progress.
Lu Ming was getting a little impatient and yelled at the voice, "Speak human language!"
Unexpectedly, the voice actually paused for a moment, and then magically changed language!
Three people: ...
Is this alien intelligence also a masochist? ?
It said: "The intention to communicate has been detected to be from a lower-level civilization - intelligent life in the solar system. We have successfully switched to the system language."
Lan, Luming, and Karl: It's fine if you just label their solar system a low-level civilization, but why do you have to say it to their faces?!
Don’t they have any dignity?!
Depend on!
