"I'm here."

Yuejin Biology is close to the side of the Mothership-class spacecraft. The rhizomes are etched out of the chemical coordination hole, and the rhizomes then give birth to collectors. Collectors use this method to pass small The hole intruded into the spacecraft.

At the same time, the rhizomes will be packed, which not only ensures that the Yuejin organisms will not leave the spacecraft, but also ensures that the internal air pressure of the spacecraft remains unchanged.

The collector looked around. It was in a tunnel. There was an airtight lock on the left and right of the collector, and a burst of suspicious alarms could be heard. It should be that the owner of the spacecraft has noticed the collector. Our invasion.

But this thing is useless to the collectors, because they can manipulate chemistry, and break through the air-tight lock in the same way as the spacecraft’s armor. As long as the substance remains in the molecular state, the collector’s method It always works, the only difference is the time consumed.

After the collector looked at the airtight locks on both sides, another individual was conceived immediately.

Usually, when facing a fork in the road, people usually choose one of the forks to go down, but the collectors do not need to make a choice. They can add value to the individual and take a fork by themselves, and other people of the same race will take the fork of their own choice.

"We act separately." The collector said to his fellow race.

"Ok."

After thinking about it, the collector has an order for this new student of his clan.

"Remember to keep radio contact at all times, you go over there, I go here."

"Ok."

The same methods used by the collectors to deal with the outer shell of the spacecraft were also used on the airtight lock. After a suitable hole was etched, they drilled into the opposite side of the airtight lock.

There is one thing that draws the attention of collectors more, and that is the age of the spacecraft.

While using chemical coordination to etch the outer armor of the spacecraft, the collector also measured the atomic half-life by the way, and the result was 700,000 years.

After a period of exploration, the collector interrogated other individuals via radio. During this period, it encountered multiple forks and gave birth to multiple kinsmen to explore separately.

"Where have you been?" The collector asked the closest kin to him.

"I'm still in the tunnel. There are too many separation layers. It will take some time to penetrate them with chemical coordination."

After confirming the situation, the collector urged his bred comrades that these newborns are still relatively inexperienced, and they are not even proficient in how to change their brains.

"So far, no aliens have been found. It's very strange. You have to be concealed. If you are attacked in such an environment, I can't provide you with support."

"Okay, I will be careful," the new individual replied.

The collector withdraws his attention to his side. There is a closed metal door in front of it. From the appearance, this door is different from the airtight door, which is the door of a certain room instead of using it. In the air-tight lock channel.

"I have found a room here and I am trying to enter."

The old method uses chemical coordination. Even if the metal door is extremely strong, the collector can easily enter the back of the door.

The collector enters behind the door, and it vigilantly observes the surroundings, digitizes its own visual information, and transmits it to the people outside the spacecraft by radio.

The room is large, but not high. The big one is only long and wide. You can see many tables and chairs. At first glance, it looks like a farmland with tables and chairs growing.

"It feels like a place dedicated to eating on this spaceship..."

The collectors outside the spacecraft murmured after seeing such a scene.

"What's the basis for your thoughts?" asked other people.

"There are a lot of tables here, and the space is also very large. It is very similar to the'canteen' on the Celine's side."

"What is the cafeteria?"

Today’s collectors don’t have a deep understanding of the Celines, because many of them have not seen the Celines since they were born. The reason why they know the Celines is purely because they exist in their knowledge and memory, and Once threatened the survival of the entire ethnic group.

"It's a place dedicated to eating. Some aspects of Celine people are weird. They like to gather together to eat. Unlike us, they waste some time walking around. Because of these inexplicable behaviors, their productivity has been very inefficient. ." The collector answered the questions of the same tribe.

"Then what can be found in such a place?"

"Uh... let me think about it." The collector was silent for a while, and tentatively answered "Alien's eating habits?"

Another individual gave a more appropriate answer.

"At the very least, we can learn about each other's elemental composition from the side of their food."

The exploration is still going on. The collectors rely on the infrared perspective to wander around where there is no light source, touching and looking around, just like a curious baby.

"It has accumulated a lot of dust, it seems that this place has not been used for a long time..."

The tables and chairs are arranged neatly, but there is a lot of dust accumulated on them. This spacecraft uses the spacecraft's rotation to create artificial gravity, which also leads to conditions for dust accumulation.

After searching for a while, the collectors did not find much. They only found a place that was different from tables and chairs. This place had many buttons and a solid long table with the large space where the tables and chairs were Across, you can see something like a chopping board on the long table.

"No food, no rubbish, very clean..."

The whispering collector's gaze suddenly settled in one place. It saw behind a pile of silicon crystal plates, there were many gorgeous-looking containers displayed. The containers were colorful, but at the same time transparent, and you could see the liquid inside.

"Huh? This is..."

The collector did not hesitate too much, but when he took out a transparent container and opened the package.

It didn't think too much, and drank the liquid in the container.

"It's ammonia."

The collector makes a judgment. After the drunk liquid is analyzed by the collector's magical stomach, the most accurate liquid composition ratio can be obtained, which is accurate to the molecular level.

"There should be others... there are!"

The collector saw a crimson button with a lid on the wall. Without even thinking about it, he let go of the lid and pressed it down.

Immediately, the entire canteen became brightly lit, and the ceiling, floor, and walls in the room turned into light bulbs, emitting bright light.

"Oh-it's lit up."

In addition to these changes, the collectors also heard strange sounds. Following the sounds, they could see a pair of mechanical arms protruding from the wall, not knowing what they were doing.

About six minutes later, the robotic arm held a plate and handed it to the collector.

In the dish is a scorched black object, and a transparent light green liquid is poured on the object. The periphery of the dish is decorated with green plants.

"Uh... is this for me?"

The collector was stunned. It could see that it was a piece of food, so it took the plate and used its tentacles to roll up the hot, black object, and ate it in one bite.

"Ah..."

"This genetic structure is... a silicon-based organism?"

Although high temperature will cause the gene chain to disintegrate, it does not prevent the collector from analyzing which organism the food comes from. After all, the high temperature of the furnace has not reached the level of destroying the atomic structure.

Immediately the collector started another analysis, which was more difficult, because it had to use the remaining gene fragments to reversely learn what kind of organism the food came from.

Generally speaking, this is a very difficult thing to do. It is like kneading a stone into powder and then re-composing the powder into the original complete stone, and there is no difference at all.

But the collectors can do it because they have already verbalized the gene. For the collectors, the gene is just a language. They can say how they want to say it. They don’t need to look up the dictionary and spell each word. read.

"Let me see what this gene expression is."

"Strange, according to the expression of this gene blueprint, the transcribed organism should be only the size of bacteria. Why is this food so big?"

The collectors were puzzled by the answers they found. Coupled with the previous calculation of the 700,000-year half-life, the collectors' doubts grew.

Obviously, in 700,000 years, the sow will definitely be able to climb the tree. A civilization, no, without a civilization, the development of people on a spacecraft is enough to build a civilization, and this civilization is capable Developed to a height far beyond the collectors.

Simply wandering around a few more times, the collector has nothing new to discover, so it decides to go to other places to continue exploring.

And soon, the collector discovered that the doubts and accidents it had in the cafeteria were nothing compared to everything they saw afterwards.

Destroying an airtight gate, the collector came to a large space, and everything in front of him suddenly became clear. This time it was not only the length and width, but also the height. This is a cubic space three kilometers long, wide and high. The building is Pillars support this space.

Walking in this place, the collectors are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, dazzled, and can't help muttering to themselves.

"where is this place?"

Withdrawing his mind, the collector noticed that this place had not been used for a long time, and a lot of dust had accumulated.

"Take another half-life sampling."

The collector stopped his pace, picked up a little substance from his feet and put it in his mouth for analysis. The result was still the same as before.

"Seven hundred thousand years."

Continuing to explore, the collectors walked to the foot of these buildings, which are high-rise buildings and supporting pillars. Some areas were covered with mud and were not covered by the floor.

"What are these open spaces?"

The collectors were puzzled—could it be that the builder of this spaceship was lazy?

Collectors outside the spacecraft answered this question.

"It should be the planting area for potted plants. The Serines also like to put things in their spaceships that are useless for eggs."

"Don't say it so absolute, this is the food planting base, or it is the air circulation room, there is this kind of special space in the Carter spacecraft, using the photosynthesis of plants to circulate air."

It has also circled several times, but the collectors couldn't find any useful clues at all. Various signs in the spacecraft indicate that this spacecraft has been unused for a long time.

"Perhaps there are no aliens on this ship."

But this doesn't make sense in theory, because seven hundred thousand years is really too long, and the spacecraft is still moving all the time, which doubles the probability of encountering danger.

"If there are no people on this spacecraft, then who replied to us before? And if there is no one, how can this spacecraft exist in 700,000 years?"

After some discussion, the collectors still can't come up with a conclusion, because there is too little information.

"Anyway, we should find the source of the reply to us and then make a final conclusion."

The collector who was about to leave the room immediately caught the approach of an unknown object, like something rolling.

"There is a sound? That direction!"

It took only a second for the five-sense collector to lock the source of the sound.

I took a closer look at ~lightnovelpub.net~ and found that the source of the sound was indeed rolling over. It was a metal sphere on which many mechanical parts could be seen. It should be a service robot on this spacecraft.

The robotic sphere hears the collector's approach and unfolds into a robot.

It greets the collectors first.

"Hello there."

"Mechanic can talk?"

The collector looked at the robot in front of him with surprise eyes.

"It should be just a procedure."

The collectors outside the spacecraft expressed their opinions, but their opinions were not tenable.

"No, it speaks Serine. If it is a programming program set by the manufacturer, then it shouldn't be able to speak Serine."

The program is dead, and the only information channel through which this spacecraft can obtain the Serine language can only be the language text delivered by the collectors not long ago for diplomacy.

This proves from the side that there is an agent on this spaceship!

And more likely, the agent is the robot in front of the collector!

"What... are you?" The collector asked with some caution, "A life? Or just a machine?"

"You asked... three questions... I can't... answer you... because I also... don't know the answer."

The robot's stumbling answer may be that the program is not good enough, or the hardware is not good enough, and the words to the collector are intermittent.

"Are you here to find me?" the collector asked.

"Yes it is."

"What do you want me for?"

"Seek...your...help."
