The Three-Body Problem: The Most Competent Wallfacer of All Time

Chapter 609 New Discoveries

Whatever the "drape" was, it was an event worthy of Reed's alarm.

In the vast universe, anything other than natural celestial bodies may be a product of civilization, and it is possible to follow the clues and lead to an interstellar civilization.

Song Xingrui, the battalion commander of the Reconnaissance Battalion of the Second Corps, after receiving Reed's alarm, asked Reed the reason for the alarm.

Song Xingrui also understood the importance of this discovery, and immediately sent two detectors to the detector that had the accident to see what happened.

In the vast space, an interstellar probe with a diameter of several meters is too small. The small optical telescope on the mothership cannot see the specific situation of the distant probe at all.

At the same time, Song Xingrui reported the matter, after all, it might be a clue about the singer's civilization.

After tens of seconds, Jiang Yu got the news, and he instructed the reconnaissance battalion: "Be careful when touching, the first is to try not to startle the snake. The second is to find out as soon as possible whether this is a clue to the singer's civilization, or the singer's enemy civilization. clues.

"Be careful, don't find a new enemy for human beings instead of finding the singer civilization."

Song Xingrui followed the instructions of the Wallfacer and remained cautious. After more than an hour, the two detectors sent by the "reconnaissance mothership" came to the accident detector.

The optical telescopes of the two probes are fully open. Even if there are no stars in a large area around them, the optical telescopes on the probes can still use a little reflection to see something clearly.

Jiang Yu passed the detector and saw from two different angles that the circular accident detector seemed to be covered with a layer of gray-black rags.

There are several "cloth strips" tightly holding the accident detector, as if covering the accident detector with a fast curtain.

As the two detectors got closer, Jiang Yu saw the details of the "curtain", which looked hard, rough, and seemed to have some spots.

Suddenly, the "cloth strip" moved slightly!
Song Xingrui guessed: "This is likely to be another civilization's detector. I suggest that the mothership send a small laboratory over here, and we will dismember it here to prevent other civilizations from discovering our mothership."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Beware of the armed forces of other civilizations!"

Since this is another civilization's probe, maybe another civilization's mothership is also nearby.

After waiting for a while, the small laboratory sent by the mothership arrived at the designated location.

The accident detector flew into the laboratory, and the other two detectors stood guard outside the laboratory.

Song Xingrui notified the armed mechanical engineer in advance and asked him to guide the dismemberment work, guess the function of the detector, and explain the structure of the enemy's detector.

The interior of the interstellar laboratory is a bright small room.

Under the bright light, the appearance of the "curtain" becomes clearer. Its rough appearance is a bit like a hard plastic shell.

But this layer of plastic shell seems to be very soft, and the few "cloth strips" also have structures similar to hard plastic shells, but they seem to be able to bend arbitrarily.

And when the spots on its body encountered the light, they flickered regularly as if they were responding to the light.

Jiang Yu ordered Yinhe Computer: "Find some experts in philology and civilization."

These flickers are likely to be the other party trying to communicate with humans.

Jiang Yu said again: "First use electromagnetic waves and other signals to try to communicate with the other party."

Song Xingrui followed Jiang Yu's instructions and tried to communicate with the other party in different ways, but the other party was still flickering the spots regularly, and the flickering frequency was the same as before, and it didn't seem to be replying.

Nor did it emit any sound waves, or information such as neutrinos or gravitational waves.

Several scholars were also helping Song Xingrui with ideas, but after repeated experiments, they did not get any reply from the other party.

On the other side, the mechanical engineer used perspective technology to see the situation of each part of the "curtain", but no matter what band was used to take pictures, they could only see some ghost images, and could not see the specific mechanical structure inside.

Jiang Yu also glanced at the inside of the "curtain" under the perspective instrument. The accident detector belonging to the Second Corps can easily see its internal mechanical structure by this means.

But the area of ​​the "curtain" looks gray, only some dense thin line structures can be seen.

"It's a bit like taking a CT scan of the bone structure of an octopus." Jiang Yu joked, and then he asked, "What does this result mean?"

The mechanical engineer replied: "There are two possibilities, one is the outer structure of the opponent, which is designed to avoid perspective.

"The second possibility is that the other party's internal structure uses a substance that we have never touched before."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Hope is the first factor."

Since no useful information was obtained from external observation, communication, and perspective, Jiang Yu ordered: "Dismember it!"

Generally speaking, after the detector is captured by other civilizations, it will explode itself immediately to ensure that its own information will not be obtained by other civilizations.

Now that it has not self-destructed, there are only two possibilities. The first is that the civilization to which the probe belongs is confident that its information will not be obtained by other civilizations.

The second is that there is no self-explosion system installed.

Only when it was disassembled did we know what the reason for this "curtain" was.

Under the command of the mechanical engineer, five flexible robotic arms protruded from the walls of the laboratory. Some of them grabbed the "cloth strips", and some robotic arms were ready to cut with a chainsaw.

At the order of the engineer, the chainsaw fell towards a "cloth strip". The outer structure of the "curtain" was so hard that the chainsaw even wiped out sparks.

But the inside seems to be very soft, and it cuts to the bottom of the "cloth strip" at once.

When cutting, the "curtain" had an obvious reaction. It seemed to be struggling, but it was firmly grasped by other mechanical arms.

A "cloth strip" was quickly cut, and the "cloth strip" kept stretching and curling up after leaving the "curtain".

The robotic arm extended the cutout to the camera, and Jiang Yu and others saw that the "cloth strip" was surrounded by a gray-black outer shell, and the inside was a silver-gray jelly-like solid structure.

The jelly-like solid structure is very elastic and very strong, not as fragile as jelly.

Inside these jelly-like solid structures, there are dense thin wire-like structures.

The mechanical engineer was stunned on the spot, he had never seen such a mechanical structure before!

The reconnaissance battalion commander Song Xingrui was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said: "How do I look at it, it looks a bit like, a bit like..."

"Muscle tissue!" Jiang Yu had the same opinion.

Several other experts in the communication channel suddenly called it impossible in their hearts!

The accident detector has been in outer space just now, and the space here is far away from the stars, and the average temperature is minus two hundred degrees Celsius. What kind of creature can stand such a low temperature.

The mechanical engineer suddenly reminded: "Everyone, look at the main body!"

All eyes turned to the "curtain", and some dark purple liquid was slowly oozing out from the cut wound, and the liquid quickly condensed into a gray-black shell.

I don't know who said: "It healed itself!"
