Planetary Museum

I don't know if it's the bad taste of the search and rescue team, or out of maximizing the use of space, the location of the portal on the search and rescue ship is the toilet on their floor.

Because the men's room still needs to be used, and the search and rescue team is now all men, the portal is set in the women's room.

Yevgeny just brought a few clothes and luggage with him just like he did when he came to China. The target area has constant temperature and humidity, so extra clothes are meaningless.Wang Youquan brought a relatively large number of clothes. There was a whole big box of clothes, and there were also food and daily necessities prepared for them... There were more than a dozen packages, big and small.

These packages were lined up from the door of the women's toilet to the washbasin. When Wu Xiaoqing and the others came to see Yevgeny off, Wang Youquan was still checking the list of supplies and checking the packages one by one to make sure they didn't miss anything important.

"Go over there, be careful," Wu Xiaoqing took off the glasses given to him by the search and rescue team, and handed them to Yevgeny, "Take care."

"You too," Yevgeny patted Wu Xiaoqing's shoulder and joked, "Don't worry, our life may be much easier than yours."

After the search and rescue team confirmed that the portal had been opened, Yevgeny was the first to push open the toilet door and walk in.After about 5 minutes, he opened the door from the other side and said to the search and rescue team: "Everything is normal, come here."

"It's really amazing, space folding technology!" The door is open, but the scenery inside the door is obviously not a women's toilet, but a completely open space.

This is a room made according to the design drawings designed by Yevgeny. There seems to be no trace of decoration in the room, just like the old brick house three or forty years ago in Wu Xiaoqing's impression.

Beside Yevgeny, there are several flying machines suspended in the air, which look about the size of sparrows, but without wings, it is completely impossible to see how they stop in the air.The voice of speaking is transmitted from those two machines.

As if he had noticed Wu Xiaoqing's gaze, the two machines quickly released light, and created a virtual character in the air that was about the size of a human on Earth. He nodded stiffly to Wu Xiaoqing's side, and then said: " It's an honor to meet you."

Wu Xiaoqing glanced at him with a relaxed smile on his face, but was very nervous in his heart.He even held the laser weapon brought back from the Ascension Realm in his hand-the search and rescue team said that if the other party, like the Federation, has the idea of ​​​​conflicting with them, it is obviously the best time during the opening of the portal .

But the other party has not moved.

They already knew the layout of the room before, it was an ordinary small villa with four bedrooms and two living rooms, divided into two floors.The first floor is a hall and a small garden, and the second floor is a bedroom and living room.

The entire small building covers an area of ​​only a few hundred square meters. When he walked in and took a look, Wang Youquan hardly felt any difference from the earth. He could even see the scenery outside the window when he opened the window, including the lawn and surrounding buildings, as well as the doorway. A road, and a small town at the end of the road.

But when Wang Youquan went downstairs and was about to go out to have a look, he found that everything he saw just now was nothing but an illusion created by light, just like those virtual illusions in Ascension Realm.After walking out of the light projection range, the only thing Wang Youquan could see was pure blackness.

"Don't look," Yevgeny said, "this is under the long star. The interior of this planet is hollow... Our room is placed on a huge rotating arm. If you really see You won't be able to sleep in such a frightened environment. Search and rescue team, the portal can be closed."

When the portal was still there, Wang Youquan felt that it was nothing. From the earth to the search and rescue ship, and then from the search and rescue ship to here, it seemed to be completely the same as on the earth.But after the portal was completely closed, a sense of fear of being isolated immediately made him feel uncomfortable all over. He walked back and forth in the room a few steps, and looked at Yevgeny again: "Professor, what are we doing now?" ?”

Yevgeny looked at him and smiled: "Negotiate with the wisdom body."

Wang Youquan glanced at the other party, then at the figure of the virtual light and shadow still maintained in the living room, and whispered, "What are you talking about?"

"Talk about what you will do," Yevgeny said, pointing to the socket closest to them in the room, "you can try it first and talk to him about our power supply problem..."

Well, there is no electricity, which is slightly different from the originally negotiated conditions.But Yevgeny believes it will not be a big problem.

But it turns out it really is.

"He said that alternating current is a brand-new technology for them!" Wang Youquan is also a person who has read a lot of books. After he went to the living room to explain this to the virtual character, the other party said apologetically, "We can provide The power is pure direct current, if it can be used by some of your electrical appliances. If you need alternating current, you may need to bring your own inverter power equipment."

"Can't you make it?" Yevgeny asked curiously, "The design of the inverter should not be complicated."

"It's not complicated, but it's still a brand-new research field for us... Considering the necessary experiments and design optimization... We estimate that you will be able to use electricity in three days."

Yevgeny smiled: "It seems that we overestimated you... Without alternating current, how do you use energy?"

"It used to be a nuclear battery, but now it's basically an antimatter battery..." the intelligent body said again, "I noticed that the power transmission in these houses still uses the original wire equipment... This is for your current technological level... It seemed a little out of sync."

Yevgeny said nonchalantly: "In terms of living, we have always been nostalgic... The house you see now, as well as all the electrical equipment, are for us the way of life tens of thousands of years ago. Seeing this mobile phone Is it gone!"

As Yevgeny said, he took out the apple in his hand and showed it to the aliens: "The battery can only be used for one day, and you need to point it at people to take pictures, and you have no intelligence at all...Sometimes I really don't know how my ancestors Lived that primitive life with such a crude tool. But now, you see, it has become an antique, and in order to use him, I have to charge it every day...but if he gets to the point where I don't need to do anything, I What else can you do with an idle day?"

It is obviously impossible for the intelligent body to recognize that a newly-acquainted earthling ran the train with his mouth when they first met. Of course, these words of Yevgeny have a purpose-they need to pretend to be a person with the ability to build a search and rescue ship. If the civilization of super high-tech products is found by the other party, their technical level is only in the era of the earth... This mission will be over.

"Each civilization has its own way of spending time, I can understand," Zhiti looked at Wang Youquan, who was cooking with a gas stove, and said, "Is he the robot you brought?"

"No, of course not," Yevgeny said hastily, "he is my assistant."

"But he seems to be... cooking?"

"Yes, cooking," Yevgeny said, "in my civilization, cooking is more of an art act than a job, see those condiments?"

"Well, I noticed it." Zhiti went over and carefully looked at a lot of seasonings that Wang Youquan brought from home, all of which are common things in Chinese kitchens, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cinnamon leaves, thirteen spices... Wang Youquan likes spicy food, so he brought a lot of chili oil and garlic.

They have been busy all day preparing for the work. To be honest, they haven’t eaten yet. Wang Youquan saw that there is gas here. After trying it, it is the same as the gas stove on the earth. See, "like a little chemistry lab."

"If you bring all kinds of measuring tools, then this is a laboratory," Yevgeny said, looking at Wang Youquan, who is busy in the kitchen, "but if you just rely on feeling... then it is a kind of artistic work. You noticed that he Did you pay full attention to the devoted expression?"

"I noticed." Since the two of them entered this room, the intelligent body has not stopped scanning and analyzing the muscles of their whole body. Now he can clearly see it. As Yevgeny said, his assistant At this time, I have fully devoted myself to this artistic creation of food.

For example, they obviously brought all kinds of electric equipment, but Wang Youquan still insisted on cutting and processing ingredients with primitive cold weapons. In the Commonwealth, such behavior can only be seen in the historical documentaries of museums.

For a civilization capable of using teleportation technology, there is no other reason to explain this primitive behavior other than art, "It can be seen that he is very satisfied with his creation."

"Professor, do you like spicy food?" Wang Youquan took a sip of the freshly made spicy peppercorns, and found it to be pretty good, not worse than his wife's, and then shouted at Yevgeny, "Do you want the noodles to be harder or softer? "

"Softer, less spicy."

"It's a pity that you don't have our body," Yevgeny said, "otherwise I would let you experience our extensive and profound food culture."

"I have experienced the food of the Federation, using the body of the Federation people," Zhiti said, "It's very interesting, but it doesn't attract me."

"That shows that there is still a gap between carbon-based organisms and silicon-based organisms," Yevgeny said. "This is also a good thing. If life forms in the entire universe are the same, then the universe will be too boring."

Intellect didn't answer.

Wang Youquan's noodles were ready, and after handing them to Yevgeny, he took out some pickles for dinner from the bag.After Yevgeny took the noodles, he was not in a hurry to eat, but looked towards the position of the avatar of the intelligent body, as if waiting for him to say something.

"I have already heard your speech in the federation," Zhiti said, Yevgeny heard the voice, as if the bowl of noodles in his hand had finally waited for the last topping, and began to eat, "now, the federation has War has been declared against you...do you still insist on your original idea and want to interfere in this war?"

"No, we never said we would interfere in the war," Yevgeny said while sucking noodles, his posture was hardly elegant - this was the first time Wang Youquan saw Yevgeny eat so much Vicious, "But we believe that we will let you understand each other that war is not the best way to solve problems."

"But war is the most efficient way." Zhiti paused and asked solemnly, "Can I understand what you said just now to mean that you will remain neutral in the war?"

"No," Yevgeny shook his head, his tone firm and unquestionable, "We will reserve the possibility of using force."

Zhiti raised the volume and emphasized: "The Federation has declared war on you! Don't you want to face the hostility of both of us at the same time?"

"You also have the freedom to maintain hostility," Yevgeny said. "In the future, the Federation will know that it will be a huge mistake for them to declare war on us. I certainly hope that such a mistake will not happen to you again."

"The Federation is our common enemy now," said the intelligent body, "do you still expect the Federation to change its mind?"

"Maybe, but what about you?" Yevgeny asked back, "Could it be that because the Federation has become an enemy, will you become our friend?"
