The Bizarre Adventure of Tartaros Fleet

"Hey, it's pretty good." Oregana chuckled and said jokingly, "Prepare our power armor, the shuttle on the space sailing ship may be open to the air."

"But, the other party's light signal..."

"It's probably just a casual call, so don't worry too much about it."

"But this coding pattern is very similar to some kind of coding record in the database." An unbelievable expression appeared on the captain's face, he paused, and said, "Although the deciphered words are meaningless words, the coding pattern matches. ..."

It seemed that there was a bad atmosphere slowly climbing up, Oregana swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked softly:

"Which encoding mode?"

"That..." His voice choked up, as if something was stuck in his throat, "...it's the Buster Legion."

"?!"

Chapter 893 Chapter 802: I really don't know how to do this job!I can't control what will happen!

The Buster Legion belongs to the large-scale defense drone group under Buster Machine No. 7. Its original purpose is to protect the solar system and manufacture a large-scale mechanical army. The size cannot use huge armor, so the Buster Legion is equipped as a battle aid.

They are extremely powerful drone systems capable of self-propagation, self-improvement, and the ability to pass on a description of themselves to the next generation of organisms.This characteristic made them evolve and evolve according to their own purpose of protecting the solar system during the tens of thousands of years when Nuonuo, the commander, was offline. In the end, they grew so large that even their mother could not recognize them, and even recognized the glowing human beings as cosmic monsters Hang up and fight until Nuonuo went online again before returning to normal.

Since then, they have been fighting under the command of Nuonuo, but apart from the communication with the commander, there is also a unique communication code between the individuals. This communication code is to communicate after losing the coordination of the commander. The function has declined, and the simple communication code designed to keep in touch has seen many variants over a long period of time, and is still in use today.

"Which generation of code is it?" Oregana asked, "Is there any other signal source besides the optical signal?"

"No, it's just a simple optical signal." The captain called up the data in the database, compared it with a thought thread, and then looked up and replied, "The sixth, ninth, and No.20 seventh-generation codes are all mixed together. ——and there are many places that do not match, and I suspect that it is a misinterpretation caused by the dissemination process.”

Indeed, the opponent is not an individual of the Buster Legion, and there is no friendly signal from the Buster Legion in the local area. No matter how you look at them, they are all local aborigines.At present, it is not known where they came into contact with this communication code (although it is completely wrong, even the level of "Jun's Japanese language book should be mastered"), but this is enough to prove that they have been in a certain place in the past. Has been in contact with relevant personnel (or equipment) at this point in time.

Even... These people have seen space battleships similar to the Diablo before, because they chose this kind of communication code to communicate with light signals when they met—this is definitely not a coincidence.

Oregana is [-]% confident that the local natives absolutely know something.While putting on the power armor, she said to the captain:

"Pack up the information here and send it back, and send the coded data together. See if Nuonuo knows anything."

"What about you, boss?"

"Let's go over and have a look first." The legion commander put the helmet on his head, and the nails on the neck made a clicking sound, and it seemed to fit perfectly.After finishing the dressing, the voice from the external loudspeaker has a unique electronic sense "Ready for the consciousness upload line, no matter what happens, don't attack. It doesn't matter if we die, absolutely don't start a fight here .”

"No problem," Liu Lizi took out the language reader from the storage cabinet next to the seat, and threw it at Oregana, "Take this."

Oregana caught it, looked up and down, and asked:

"the new kind of?"

"Well, the extended-range type." Liu Lizi nodded, "The effective range is about one meter, and it doesn't need to be placed on the forehead. But relatively longer irradiation time is required."

"It feels good." She showed a satisfied expression. With this, the most difficult part can be handled in a more concealed situation.

Whether it is the shape of a pistol or an axe—in fact, no matter what shape the language reader is made of, there is a very embarrassing point, that is, the range is really too short.Even if you make it into the shape of a pillow, sticking it directly on someone's head will make the opposite nerve tense.So at present, every scientific expedition team will be equipped with at least one power armor with invisibility ability. The usage is that when one person gestures and gestures to attract the attention of aliens, the other person stealthily touches the back and carefully shoots the back of the head.

In response to this usage, the new improvement made by the technical department is to extend the effective distance of the language reader.This change can make the invisible guy at the back easier and increase the fault tolerance rate. Even the guy in the front can install this in the component slot of the helmet, and it will be done unconsciously when looking at each other.

However, there is only a small amount of equipment for this type at present-the first batch of goods came off the assembly line a few days later, and it did not catch up with the timing of the departure of the new batch of scientific expedition teams.

However, Oregana's helmet doesn't have room for such a large component (a pistol-sized thing is really a large component for a helmet slot), so she put the reader on the weapon on the right shoulder Only the upper half of the probe is exposed on the frame, and the angle of the mechanical arm is locked, making it look like a camera.Judging from the existing examples, aliens who meet for the first time usually pay more attention to the things in the hands of the scientific expedition team members, and as long as the components in other places do not look like blades or tubes that can launch something and do not move, it is easy to Rarely cause alarm.

Although there are exceptions, the more cautious you act and reduce unnecessary actions, the higher the success rate will be. This will not change.

Keeping these words firmly in mind, Oregana boarded the shuttle and headed for that weird sailboat.

------------------

The lights flickered and flickered.

Facing the book at hand, the signal soldier unfamiliarly controlled the switch of the large searchlight.Like battleships, deep space cruisers communicate through light signals in most cases.On the surface, people use radio to communicate over long distances. This technology is quite mature and is used on almost every planet.But after leaving the gravitational circle, radio is no longer a reliable long-distance communication technology.

This does not mean that the communication radio delay is very large at the distance of light seconds, but because the curse all over the universe will distort the message transmitted by the radio, that is not mixed with noise and noise, but will be distorted into the original transmission completely unrelated information or directly into a variety of unsettling sounds just to listen to.The farther the distance, the greater the change, basically it can only be used for short-distance communication.

At this time, the communication between planets has to return to the traditional letter mailing. After the birth of small portable devices that can store some data, waiting for a video from other planets has become a daily routine for people.The long-distance communication between ships and ships or ports can only be done by light signals and strong light signal flares.

The signal soldiers serving on the deep space cruiser are naturally proficient in their business, but no matter how skilled they are, it is impossible for them to be familiar with the signals being sent out now.

Because what is recorded in that book - "Edessaq's Mobile Phone" is not a signal sent to 'people'.

"Edesaker's Notes", this is what he saw and heard recorded by Edesaker, the astronaut who traveled the farthest before the great fall of mankind.He set off from the origin star of the second ring, took the spaceship "Explorer" with only one member and sufficient supplies, set off against the orbit of the planet, visited 52 planets in a few months, and finally returned to his mother. star.

This time I was not cautious, and it can even be said that some aggressive flight plans have many political factors.At that time, human beings only lived on the origin star, and the unification was not completed. The two superpowers competed fiercely in various fields.Indeed, there are so many planets that can be inhabited here that they almost killed astronomers in the geocentric period (referring to the orbit and explaining the orbit), but before that... the ideological competition on the parent star cannot be lost, and space exploration is not so much It is to open up a new world, rather it serves to promote the country's scientific strength and military potential.

And Edsaac successfully completed his mission, but when the spacecraft returned to the origin star, people failed to meet the heroic hero, and there was only a dying lunatic shrunk in the return capsule——no one knew he saw What happened, any memory that stored image data was destroyed by Edsack, and the only thing that can be used as a reference is the diary he wrote along the way, which was later called "Edsack's Notes" s things.

There are many seemingly bizarre contents in it, which are more like myths, ravings of madmen rather than rigorous voyage records.

Then came the years known as the Great Recession, during which time humanity encountered the unexplainable.The initial symbolic and worst event was that the people on the origin star were inexplicably thrown to 52 planets on the same ring, and some even fell on the next ring.No one knew what was going on, and the edifice of civilization fell apart overnight.

And in the days that followed, the huge monster that flew across the sky and covered the sky, accompanied by the earthquake appeared on the surface of the earth and swallowed up the whole city. It's daytime... All kinds of bizarre disasters and incredible events continue to happen on various inhabited planets, but human beings finally resisted and returned to the universe here.

In this process, a universe completely different from what humans expected is gradually unveiled in front of everyone.The world is dark and absurd. Just after everyone accepted this reality, someone suddenly remembered that what the astronaut - Ed Sacker wrote down was true. During that lonely journey, this man Really saw a lot of amazing things, and these things finally crushed his spirit.

A large part of that note has been verified to be true. Under the current situation, all deep space cruisers will carry a book like this... If you encounter something beyond common sense and cannot be solved, then Just turn the book first, in short, follow the book first.Doing what's written in this diary is more likely to get you home than mindless messing around - because Edsaac really did come back.

It is basically a life-saving straw for every captain. No one hopes to need it one day, but it should be carried anyway.

Now this string of light signals is recorded in the notes, the signal that needs to be sent when encountering a strange big ship in the universe.Although the description of the big ship's appearance and how the information was obtained is very vague, but what can be done now is to try it out.

"Will there really be a reaction?" Amiya climbed outside the open observatory, and leaned in front of the telescope to watch the other party's reaction. "It's all broken like this. Could it be a wreck?"

"It's not bad if it's wreckage." The observing hand took the picture, holding the right hand on the handle, and gently rotating it-this handle is mounted on a very large wheel axle, which changes the telescope's position by rotating it like a mill. Angle: "It is also a great achievement to be able to drag it back. Haven't you found a ship from outside the vortex of creation for nearly a hundred years?"

This kind of ship usually carries never-before-seen technologies, or valuable treasures, or weapons that cannot be duplicated. No matter what kind, as long as you get it, you can spend the rest of your life happily without work. pass.

Hearing this, even Amiya became a little distracted.If I can make a lot of money from this, I can no longer engage in such a dangerous industry, go back to my hometown and buy a real estate, and do whatever I want for the rest of my life, even if I raise a young boy and go to high-end receptions every day. Relationship... But only a few seconds later, perhaps due to the distraction caused by reverie about the future, the phantom and the voice in the ear that I deliberately ignored suddenly became very existential——

Let's face it, you're not going to die... just keep working like a donkey and die.

There was an extremely strong sense of sarcasm in that voice, which made Amiya's blood pressure a little unstable.She immediately reacted and took several deep breaths—this is the case in the universe, there is something that affects people's spirits all the time.There is a theory that it is actually the result of amplified negative emotions in your subconscious, which always hits the spot where people least want to be mentioned.

The guy who had a bad temper before wanted to try to win him over, but was found committing suicide in his room on the third day.And the way to fight against it is to ignore it without thinking about anything, which is the same as when you see someone who disagrees with you on the Internet... But it is still quite difficult, after all, it is impossible for trolls to go Hair posts in your head.

Just when Amiya was emptying her mind, the observer suddenly got a boost:

"There is a response, there is a response." He patted Amiya on the shoulder and pointed in the direction of the vortex of creation. "It really works!"

A small boat not much larger than a working boat flew out of the 'wreckage' that was half the size of a space station, and flew towards this side at an astonishing speed—for a moment, that small boat appeared at the same time In and in front of the telescope.If it is not an illusion of the observing hand, it means that its speed is even faster than light.

Could it be that this ship is even more maneuverable than the mighty Seeker?

The pale golden boat stopped not far from the Star Lock, and a humanoid creature in a red space suit appeared at the hatch.The moment it appeared, the voice that kept echoing in my mind suddenly disappeared, as if it was the morning fog that was dispelled by the sun in the early morning.It gives people the feeling that the 'voice' is afraid of this approaching humanoid creature, like an animal seeing the appearance of a natural enemy, and ran away in an instant.

Since the third day of the voyage until now, she has experienced the peace of mind for the first time. I am afraid that it is not only Amiya herself, but also the companions on the ship.

Amiya looked at the creature that came out of the cabin and stood majestically on the deck at the moment, and she heard the observer murmur subconsciously:

"What came out... a person?"

"It looks like... This is different from what I expected, it's not a wreck at all."

Maybe it's just that the damage is serious, Amiya thought.But there is no problem with using light signals. You see, the other party sent someone over almost immediately.It's just that the situation is still stuck in a stalemate-it's not clear what the other side's attitude is.While it may seem innocuous, there is one thing every crew member should remember:

The universe is quite unfriendly to human beings. In this space, we must be vigilant at all times.

Although it doesn't look hostile, maybe the other party will suddenly pounce on it and eat up the whole boat, leaving only the head as its own trophy—it might be this kind of terrifying alien creature .Before setting off, Amiya had seen such a movie, which further deepened her nervousness.

If I hadn't already had 11 years of work experience, and I was already familiar with all kinds of weird things happening in the universe, it would not be surprising for you to pee your pants if you were a newcomer.

But that didn't mean she wanted to take the job...communicating with aliens wasn't the job for a rough job like myself.The risk was too great, and Amiya even started to feel a stomachache because of nervousness, and she was eager to get rid of the blame:

"Captain, what should we do? Do you want to come out..."

However, Captain Soyola didn't want to take the job either—Amiya even felt that Captain Soyola's voice was trembling, maybe he was panicking enough.Obviously, he usually looks great, but at critical moments, he is as unreliable as walking on tiles with soap on his feet.What's worse is that she is the person with the most power on the scene. At least here, she can do whatever she wants, which is the right given to her by the law.

And she used this right without hesitation:

【Go and get in touch, Chief Catcher, don't mess things up. 】

"I'm going?!" Amiya was really panicked this time, and she shouted, "Are you serious? This should be your business!"

The captain's reply was very humiliating:

[You plan to defy possession!Star lock number!me! ? 】

Although I really want to spray it back, but if I really spray it now, the captain may find an opportunity to find an excuse to kill Jitian later.so……

Don't dare, you are still more awesome.

"Cut..." Captain Amiya could only re-check the safety rope on his body, tense his body and whispered as he floated towards the ship, "Talk this to Qing Yueqing next door... ..."

An Luofei Mobila, the man who stole the Santania Empire next door, now controls the 13-year-old little emperor as regent.Because the family's flag is a crescent moon, it is called Xianyueqing.This is a natural warrior, has great interest in territory, wealth and war, and is now one of the biggest enemies of Shuangyu Nova.He spurned the name of the deep god, which led many to think that he had lost his mind during the border wars decades ago.

But of course this is nonsense—because lunatics can't manage the entire country in an orderly manner, and the frequency of wars launched by the Santania Empire is twice or even higher than that of ordinary countries, but even so they still maintain stability.From this point, it can be seen that Xian Yueqing An Luofei is not extraordinary.

Amiya was sure that the captain had heard this, and she even made a 'hum' to express her dissatisfaction, but it was only to express her dissatisfaction.As long as she works hard, she won't get too angry because of such trivial things.

perhaps……

--------------

"The other party sent a person over," Oregana adjusted the angle of the probe, and greeted him cautiously, "Then let's start—it's dressed like a diving bronze figure, I hope this set of equipment won't be wrong. taking equipment and causing interference."

[It's best if the other party can let you on board. 】

"That's naturally the best." Oregana curled her lips. She knew that this matter was not easy. Worried, "However, the subspace activity of this galaxy is really high, is it because of those cracks? And there are many subspace creatures rubbing against their subspace projections. These things see our projections They were all scared off after that.”

[It's possible... Maybe we should throw some probes into the crack to locate it? 】

"Just do it."

Seeing the 'Bronze Diving Man' getting closer, Oregana prepared the holographic projection system on the helmet. When communicating, images that can be understood at a glance are always more convenient than gestures or words.In order to deal with this situation, the foreign department of the Ministry of Consolidation specially made a considerable number of introductory videos. Those videos recorded people's daily life, wars and pioneering history in the simplest and unambiguous way-in most cases The bottom is used as a prop to attract attention to create opportunities for the back of the head in stealth photos.

The two stopped less than ten meters apart.In the silent universe, the bright red power armor and the spacesuit in the style of a bronze diving man stared at each other.Whether it was the Starlock or the Diablo, or even the Final World two worlds away, everyone was watching this scene nervously.This is the most difficult stage of communication. Both sides don't know how to contact each other. At the beginning, they can only observe each other like this. Any careless actions will have unexpected consequences.

To be honest, this overly cautious attitude also stems from the hidden secrets of this world—be it the communication codes of the Buster Legion, the cracks in the subspace, or all kinds of weird things, Oregana Don't dare to provoke them.Otherwise, if you use a slightly rougher method, you may have already had a drink with the captain on the other side... Of course, if the captain on the other side can drink.

Of course, the other party should also be cautious enough.After all, in front of him is a dilapidated battleship from another world. Anyone who sees this kind of thing will become vigilant.Caution on both sides will make the initial communication difficult, but Oregana has plenty of patience.

That's right, she really thought that, and then suddenly felt that something was wrong.Oregana herself was still observing the other party, being careful not to arouse the other party's vigilance, and suddenly saw the other party start gesticulating.The movement was quite big, and it was not based on 'don't scare the other party', but it was done with the emotion of 'these movements must be seen clearly by the other party'——

The 'Bronze Diving Man' pointed to himself, then to Oregana, and finally to the sailboat with pink sails behind it.After pointing, he stretched out his hand towards Oregana. To be honest, that gesture was a bit like a grand invitation from Mr. Banana...

If I didn't misunderstand, this... probably only has that meaning, right?Otherwise, is there any other meaning?

"Eh……?"

Did you co-authors never think about what is meant by 'cautious'?
