"xxxxx..."

"yyyyy..."

"zzzzz..."

It seems that someone is talking to him, Wu Xiaoqing thought.

do not understand at all.

There was no text on the subtitles, and Wu Xiaoqing turned his head away. Behind him, the robot body of the search and rescue team remained motionless.

After a long time, Wu Xiaoqing, who had been in a suspended state, finally couldn't help it: "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Talking to him."

"Him?" Wu Xiaoqing turned his head and looked around: "Where did he come from?"

"The person in charge of the master control here."

"Oh, can he talk to me? Hi, how are you?"

"Not yet, we are exchanging language library information with each other."

"But I can't hear anything?"

"Electromagnetic wave communication."

"Okay, how long will it take?"

"For an hour or two, you stay in this room, don't go out. You can familiarize yourself with the usage of this thruster first."

The thrusters mentioned by the search and rescue team are the "flying carpets" that they have spent millions of dollars customizing from the factory. Wu Xiaoqing is sitting on it right now—strictly speaking, it's not considered sitting, and it doesn't feel right here at all. When it comes to gravity, there is actually no concept of up and down.

It is said to be a flying carpet, but the propeller itself is actually a hard material made of alloy material.

It looks like a cuboid more than three meters long, one meter wide, and tens of centimeters thick.

When riding, the "passenger" can fix himself on the propeller with a rope, and can choose to fix two legs, or one leg and one hand.

For convenience, or to take care of Wu Xiaoqing's IQ, its operation method is very simple:

Wu Xiaoqing only needs to turn on his mobile phone, and he can easily control the flying status of the flying carpet through a software.

Because the proportion of the mobile phone is very close to that of the flying carpet, the state of the entire flying carpet can be simulated with the mobile phone.Wu Xiaoqing can first determine the flying speed of the flying carpet through the speed adjustment on the screen, and then he only needs to make corresponding movements on the mobile phone in his hand, and the flying carpet can complete the exact same direction change operation. ——To put it simply, Wu Xiaoqing can compare his mobile phone to the flying carpet he "rides on". Any action he wants can be done intuitively by controlling his mobile phone.

The whole operation process is very intuitive. When Wu Xiaoqing puts the phone upright, the flying carpet will also be vertical. When Wu Xiaoqing turns the phone over, others will also be driven by the flying carpet.He can even easily complete a 3600° turn on the spot. He only needs to turn the mobile phone in his hand, and then the perspective of the whole person is also driven by the flying carpet.

This kind of experience is like a child holding a model plane and simulating the flight of the plane—and during the simulation process, the child himself flies as if he was actually on the plane.

At Wu Xiaoqing's age, speaking of it, he is actually such a child. When he encounters such a fun toy, he plays with it by himself and becomes happy.

Until the search and rescue team told him that the exchange was complete and they could go.

"Then, where is the person in charge of the general control?" Wu Xiaoqing was particularly curious about this, "Can you let him say a few words to me?"

"He doesn't understand Chinese."

"Then what did you talk about just now?"

"We jointly search each other's language database... In a way that you can understand, we check each other's minds to see what language each other can speak. After we find a common language, we start updating the language database. There is no Chinese in his language database. .”

Wu Xiaoqing regretted: "He can't be like you, can he learn?"

The search and rescue team was also very sorry: "He doesn't think he has anything to say to you..." The search and rescue team didn't say something more cruel—for example, he thought Wu Xiaoqing looked like a carbon-based pet raised by the search and rescue team— Let him take care of this pet, and don't just casually... well, affect the cleanliness here.

"One walks forward, towards the open door, slowly."

"Aren't you going with me?"

"No...this body is too bulky to fit."

You can't even do basic walking and running on Earth, let alone frequent jumping and high-speed movements in a zero-gravity environment.As in the previous mission, the main task of the search and rescue team was to stay near the teleportation point and communicate with Wu Xiaoqing remotely through the glasses.

Wu Xiaoqing activated the "flying carpet" lightly, and right in front of him, the first door opened automatically. Behind the opened door, a row of transparent strange characters floated in the air. From the glasses, the search and rescue team Translate every message he saw for Wu Xiaoqing in time—"Welcome back, this is Planet 0."

These characters are all floating in the air, which seems to be the effect of some kind of optical technology.When Wu Xiaoqing passed through them, the characters were scattered behind him by the flying carpet like leaves in the air.

Wu Xiaoqing looked in front of him in surprise—the door was completely blank, and he could still vaguely see the distant view, which were many large and small meteorite-like islands floating in the sky.

Wu Xiaoqing thought that this was going out, but when the door behind him was closed, he realized that he just entered a transparent passage.

"Visit the passage."

As a row of characters representing this meaning was knocked away in front of his eyes, Wu Xiaoqing clearly saw a three-dimensional map appearing in front of him, and a small white dot represented Wu Xiaoqing's location.

On the map, Wu Xiaoqing, a small dot, is in the center of a huge spherical structure—yes, there should be layers of walls in front of him, but what he sees now is a void, and the seemingly incomparable external scenery ——The search and rescue team told him that those are all external real scenes that are being broadcast.

"Planet 0 living area."

The landscape disappears and is replaced by a view of the interior.It is a strange and strange forest, there is a lawn on the ground, flowers are blooming, and there are many trees in front of him. Wu Xiaoqing stretches out his hand to touch the nearest one. It is not until his hands pass through the trees that he realizes that the scenery is the same as what he saw before. The same as the character, just the optical effect.But this optical effect is really too realistic. After passing through, Wu Xiaoqing turned his head to look back, still a little unbelievable.

This made it impossible for Wu Xiaoqing to judge the size of the entire room. From his perspective, there was a whole forest without boundaries in front of him, and some strange small animals could even be seen in the distance.But after he passed in that direction, the animal disappeared.When he was about to chase the animal in the direction where it was fleeing, the forest in front of him slowly faded, turning into a wall made of black material - reminding Wu Xiaoqing that he has now entered the boundary of the room.

After Wu Xiaoqing retreated, the scenery resumed again.

"High-speed lanes, only for direction indication."

This should be the highway here, and the direction indicated is a forward arrow in the air.There is no one to be seen on the entire "road", only a dark patch.This made Wu Xiaoqing think of a question naturally: "Brother, is there no one living here?"

"Someone."

"Where is it?" Wu Xiaoqing said, "Can you take me to see it?"

"No hurry, just keep going."

After passing through the high-speed passage, the next door opens, which is the "Planet 0 Operation Room."

The door of the operation room was closed, and the search and rescue team said that they had no permission to enter. They could only pass by the side and continue to walk in. There was a relatively narrow passage along the way. There were no virtual images and no reminders.After about 20 minutes, they stopped in front of an inconspicuous small door.

Unlike before, every time I walked to the door, the door opened automatically. This door is closed.There is a row of black characters on the door, which translates to: "Waiting for authorization."

They waited 1 minute and then the door opened.

This is a dark room, very small. There is a row of obvious small cabinets on the wall of the room. On the cabinets is written: "Energy storage area."

According to the request of the search and rescue team, Wu Xiaoqing approached the cabinet and opened the first cabinet, which contained a long glass tube the size of his arm.The glass tube is dark gray and feels light in the hand.

"This thing, you can understand it as a battery," said the search and rescue team. "The whole task this time is to find such a battery, bring it here, and put it here, and that's it."

Wu Xiaoqing took a closer look at the battery, and it looked like a solar tube, so he didn't think there was anything strange about it.He asked cautiously, "This battery...how can I find it?"

Wu Xiaoqing had heard that the search and rescue team described this task before, saying that this task was much more difficult than the previous two.

That being the case, it must be quite difficult to find this kind of glass tube in my hand.

The search and rescue team said: "We don't know yet."

"Then what is this tube for?" Wu Xiaoqing realized when he saw the translation of electric energy reserve.

"The battery can also be used for other purposes... just to generate electricity, that's all."

"Then..." Wu Xiaoqing thought naturally, "Bring some batteries from the earth, if not enough, just bring a generator, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Theoretically, it is feasible. If we use diesel to generate electricity, then we must first prepare enough oil... well, about 500 million barrels, which is almost enough. If converted into US dollars, it is about 3 million US dollars. But Such a large amount of oil is equivalent to half of the annual output of the entire Russia. It is completely impossible to keep it secret. On the whole basis, to completely convert this large-scale oil into electrical energy, a special oil plant must also be built. Power stations — whether it's manpower or technology, it's hard for us to do."

"Five hundred... ten thousand barrels?" Wu Xiaoqing lowered his head, looked at the black pipe in his hand, and felt that its weight suddenly became much heavier.

Three hundred million dollars!

What makes Wu Xiaoqing even more inconceivable is not the magnitude, but the way the search and rescue team thinks about the problem—he has indeed considered this plan and its feasibility.If it was him, he might have given up completely when he saw the figure of 500 million.

"What exactly is in it? Nuclear material?" As far as Wu Xiaoqing knows, the thing with the highest energy density is the legendary fuel rod of a nuclear power plant.But how high it is, he can't say it himself.
