Chapter 28 Clues to the unknown ruins
In the early evening sky, with stars twinkling all over the sky, a shuttle flew from all over the world.
Magic Star, Iron Kingdom, the eastern border area...
Aisha sat quietly on the grass alone, waiting for the arrival of the second group of teammates.
The bright moon was in the sky and it was already late at night.
Fang Yan worked all night in the shuttle, collecting different images step by step and recording the words passively reflected by the indigenous "Zhang Zhi", in order to compile a usable language translation database by tomorrow morning.
Before she left the temporary laboratory, Fang Yan had already learned the names of the indigenous people, and the project was progressing smoothly.
Next door to the laboratory, two crew members were waiting for the main control room to keep vigil.
Pace and most of the crew were resting to recuperate for tomorrow's official operations.
Suddenly, the ground shook slightly. Aisha felt the movement and stood up to look around.
The full moon in the sky provided dim moonlight, and a silvery body appeared on the plain in the distance.
"The second team is here too."
With an understanding in her heart, Aisha stood up and yawned, but did not greet him.
Because she needed to sleep later, she didn't intend to interrupt her sleepiness and simply waited for the second team to arrive.
I didn't fish for it.
Not long after, a figure came running from a distance.
"Sir Aisha, shuttle team No. 2 is reporting to you! The vice-captain said, just follow your instructions when we come down."
Aisha waved her hand weakly and conveyed the order to the second team. This is why Master Pace asked her to stay here.
"Hmm, your night shift team needs to get over the jet lag first, take some medicine and just go to bed, waiting for the action order tomorrow morning."
Normally, a scientific research ship is sailing in the universe, so it is impossible to work during the day and rest at night.
The ship is divided into two shifts, corresponding to the day and night of the home planet.
She, Master Pace, and the first team were all on the day team, while the vice-captain and the second team were on the night team.
Fortunately, getting jet lag is easy in modern times. All you need to do is take some medicine and get some sleep.
"Remember to leave two people to guard the place for the rest of the night, and just go and take over with the first team in the main control room."
"I'm going to take a rest too. Work won't officially start until tomorrow."
With an extra instruction, Aisha swallowed the prepared capsule, yawned a few more times, and walked back to Unit 1 in a vain manner.
The night shift team needs to overcome jet lag, and they also have to work for a few hours during the day shift. Normally, she would be fast asleep at this time.
The girl behind him saluted and left silently.
…
The next morning.
After Aisha woke up, she washed up sleepily and rushed to the temporary camp to have breakfast.
He walked straight to Pace's side, cheered up, smiled at her, and took a piece of fruit.
Just when I was about to take a bite, I noticed something unusual with half-squinted eyes.
"Lord Pace? If I remember correctly, this is the fruit of plant specimens collected from the Magic Planet."
Elsa raised the 'gift of nature' in her hand in confusion, a little stunned.
She had seen a lot of this fruit in Fang Yan's room last night.
"Yeah." Pace nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
"It's not a question of whether it's poisonous or not..." Aisha put her forehead on her forehead and looked helplessly at her, then looked around.
The sun shines down, and the bright plain is unobstructed with the woods as the border. There are three shuttles nearby, and the extra one just landed in the morning.
Units No. 2 and 3 were parked in the distance, some distance from Unit 1, forming a triangle, and the temporary camp had been moved to the middle of the triangle.
She noticed that more than a dozen teammates had some 'local' fruits in their breakfast.
It seems that the theme of today's breakfast is an authentic alien meal.
"I personally think that eating a meal of alien food will help improve everyone's work efficiency." Pace gave her a look to reassure her. "The one you have is very similar to an apple, and the taste is similar."
The race that grew up on the Gaia star couldn't be more kind to 'gifts of nature' such as wild vegetables and fruits.
In ordinary Gudu people's homes, they will plant several pots of vegetation.
Pace finished the fruit in a few bites and continued talking.
"I just received some planet data from the Rover."
"The [Magic Planet] under our feet has a planet size of only [12] and a planet carrying capacity of approximately [70]."
"Mojie Star, is it named this? The planet's size is 12... Um, isn't that right? Mojie Star's scale is only 12?"
Elsa first recited the name of the planet, then noticed the size and asked in surprise.
The name of Magic Star comes from the self-proclaimed name of the indigenous race - [Magic Hook Gan], which she knew last night.
Racial names must still respect the native people, but human titles are not invalidated. The former is a racial name, and the latter is a racial classification.
I just didn't expect this planet to be so small, and it obviously doesn't look much different from its parent star.
"The scale is only 48% of our Guduxing, which is a pity."
Pace saw her somewhat regretful look and showed a meaningful look in her eyes. "No, actually size doesn't matter."
The size of the planet is not critical? How could it not be critical? Aisha was a little confused.
Could it be that there was something more critical, so that the size of a habitable planet was no longer a problem? This thought made her heart feel like it was being scratched, and she wanted to find out what the problem was.
Aboriginal? But I don’t think alien intelligent races are that rare.
Elsa swallowed the pulp in her mouth and rubbed it on Pace's arm. "What's the key point?"
There was no answer, so she rubbed it a few times.
Still no reply, she pouted and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked again, "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Finish your fruit first, and then wait until everyone has finished eating before assigning tasks."
"oh."
Elsa responded and closed her mouth, stared at Pace's ruthless eyes, wiped the juice off her arms, and then concentrated on stuffing the fruit into her mouth.
As time passed by, more and more people came to the camp to have breakfast.
After breakfast, people will stay around spontaneously.
Numerous and complex duty equipment are placed neatly and orderly on the grass.
Pace on the opposite side looked at the time and stood up.
The free time for breakfast is over, and the busy day begins now.
Pace first made an announcement on the internal communication software, then tuned into the loudspeaker and shouted.
"gather!"
"Captains, organize your teams."
After receiving the signal from her eyes, Aisha also stood up and walked to the head of the team on the far left. The ten-person team quickly finished arranging and remained motionless.
In no more than a minute, Pace nodded when he saw the orderly queue of more than thirty people in front of him.
For people who have been influenced by extreme militarism since childhood, to be able to climb up to a position on a scientific research ship, they at least have had military literacy.
Discipline has already been deeply rooted in people's hearts and does not need additional emphasis.
All it takes is a few words of introductory remarks and the assignment of tasks, and the exploration of Magic Planet can begin.
Pace stepped forward, reached out and connected several points on his personal terminal, and spoke loudly.
"Everyone, it is August 23, 2200. It has been more than half a year since we entered the starry sky. We are very lucky to have discovered this Gaia planet named [Magic Star] in a nearby galaxy. It is very similar to our home star.
The resemblance is striking."
"We are all the elites of Gudu Star. I won't emphasize any unnecessary matters. The only thing I want to remind you is that this mission is heavy in quantity and quality."
Pace then turned to the right and released tasks one by one.
"There are three teams present. I will give you your tasks first."
The captain of the No. 3 shuttle team stood there solemnly, with a small flat hat on his head and had already put on his robe.
"Team 3! is responsible for exploring planetary geography. After the 4th and 5th teams come down, they will take over the subsequent tasks of planetary characteristics, deep-sea mapping, continental territory, etc. You just need to do your best to enrich the map information."
"yes!"
"Second Team! Your team's work is related to that group of Mojiehukgan people. It is up to you to understand and record their civilization, culture, technological level, national system, ideological research, ethnic customs, etc."
"Miss Fang Yan has helped you solve the language problem. Go find her to update the translator."
