After Becoming a Little Sister

"The new detector is in place, but it will take at least 72 hours to resend it, and we can't guarantee that when we land again, we will be so lucky and be rescued by..."

"Well - I have an idea, do you think it is feasible to add an aviation cannon to it?"

"...?"

……

……

"This is definitely a man-made object, not some special... mechanical creature."

On the logistics ship of the expedition fleet, the alchemy master took off his gloves, shook his head and expressed regret: "The civilization that produced it, the development system is completely different from ours. I didn't find any traces related to alchemy on it, but found different ones. Less similar to the style of the previous power iron rod."

"Then is it a threat?"

"If it's power—this is it, this nozzle is considered a threat when it ejects flames, there are no weapons other than that."

"...so what is this supposed to be?"

"A detection device should be launched by a civilization with a good temper, or even a little stupid. They seem to have never considered the possibility of encountering hostile creatures during the detection process, even if they encounter a disorderly camp. What other beasts?"

"Is that so..." Commander Rexxar rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Everyone put away their weapons one after another, reducing their guard a bit.

"Well, I have an immature idea, I mean - if, is there a possibility that the civilization that launched this probe is not because it doesn't want to fight, but because it doesn't have the ability to load weapons on it?"

"Why do you think so?"

"The warhead of the power iron rod before is very powerful. If these two things come from the same civilization, I don't think they are innocent races that can't fight. Maybe the division of labor for these equipment is relatively clear, and they are only responsible for fighting. Or just be in charge of detection."

"...It's not unreasonable, but if that's the case, it would be too extravagant."

"Perhaps their productivity can support the consumption of this kind of meticulous division of labor." The alchemy master agreed with this point of view instead: "Look at this structure, this bottom layer, it should be for heat dissipation. The surface of this material rubs against the atmosphere. , a complex reaction will take place, and a large amount of heat will be taken away, the results of the previous test are enough to resist the frontal impact of the flame dragon's breath."

"Just for heat dissipation?"

"It's just for heat dissipation, to protect its fragile internal structure and these instruments."

As soon as these words were said, these rough-skinned and thick-skinned superhumans who evolved from creatures in the world of divine favor felt all kinds of incredible.

This is like someone telling the driver of five pairs of wheels that a tank should have the driving feel of a car inside, plus an air conditioner that is warm in winter and cool in summer. If possible, it is best to have an automatic replacement. Transmission system, automatic transmission is not more labor-saving than manual transmission?

Wow!How extravagant young master soldiers would care about these things!

Do real men need these?A real man should use a wrench and a hammer to drive the tank. It's just a little heat, and he can survive it with his will!

Well, the 99A’s air conditioner blows out so much wind that I almost caught a cold, and the gear shift is not smooth enough. It will be convenient when I switch to the paddles...

"This material is very similar to a fiber material that was secretly developed by our National Institute of Alchemy. We probably mass-produced it three years after it came out. There is no need to keep it secret. This continuous fiber-reinforced medium-density heat-resistant material should be It is the upper and lower edges and structural supports that maintain the overall shape of these detectors."

Well, the fragile young master detector is not only afraid of heat, but also afraid of shocks.

So this thing is really out there for detection, not as an elaborate show toy in a flat garden?

"The heat-proof structure of this back cover... the hatch cover, edge ring, embedded parts, screw plug... are really beautiful, and the specifications are neat. This is a product of an industrial assembly line, and there are still slight traces of processing."

Every qualified alchemy instructor is a senior technician, and every great instructor is an eighth-level technician when the gold content of the previous rating is still there.

It is not a problem for him to rub a detector frame with his hands, but it is a bit difficult to make it completely uniform in size, rather than simply piece it together based on the separate calculation accuracy of different parts.

It's like you can hand-made a hundred pairs of bolts and nuts that fit each other, but how can you ensure that they can be combined and fit together after they are disassembled?

This is the uniformity of industrial assembly line processing. Before the explosion of alchemy technology, the world of grace has always been biased towards traditional manual work. The vengeance spear thrown by Seraphim Tyre before is the result of this craft mode. product.

Sophisticated, elegant, fussy, yet powerful.

It would take at least three months of work for an alchemist just to carve patterns for decoration.

Although these carvings do not have any practical function, they are simply for users to enjoy when they are not using this thing.

So, will humans on Blue Star Earth appreciate the exquisite carvings on the PL-15 air-to-air missile?

"Not only in terms of processing technology, but also in terms of materials, they are also very good."

The alchemy master picked up a fragment: "This is a fragment of its outer shell. I tested it. This material has a very low density, but its strength is surprisingly high. At the same time, it has both ablation resistance and load-bearing capacity. I'm not sure. For them, this kind of craftsmanship is sophisticated or common civilian use, but at least they can make this kind of thing."

"Is this material very powerful?"

"If we also have this kind of material, all the external vehicles of the giant dragon can reduce the weight by 70% or more while ensuring the existing carrying capacity."

"..." General Rexxar blinked, and looked at the dragon-horned woman next to him.

The latter leaned on the table: "Every time you take off, you carry a mount that weighs almost a ton. Even if it is empty, it is very tiring. I can make a new mount. On behalf of all the dragons, I thank you. "

"Hehe, I can't do it, but I'm a little bit sure about this."

The great master of alchemy picked up another fragment, it was gray and must be some kind of metal.

"what is this?"

"The landing mechanism of this probe should be some kind of energy-absorbing alloy, which has strong toughness while ensuring light weight and energy-absorbing properties."

"...can we use it?"

"Would you say no to a pair of boots that are light and durable?"

"Draconics don't really like boots."

"Giant dragons used to not put on armor, carry a mount on their backs, and act as an aerial firepower delivery platform-you only use the two skills of dragon breath and ram."

"Too."

The great master of alchemy collected a bunch of samples, and there were many messy things that he hadn't analyzed yet.

For example, some high-performance silicon carbide-based reinforced aluminum-based composite materials, aluminum-silicon materials, and aluminum-based silicon carbide composite materials, these ingredients cannot be understood by alchemy.

What I have to say is that this civilization is particularly good at using metals, and it is especially good at using aluminum, a metal that is abundant on the surface of normal planets.

There is also silicon—but the material silicon, even in the world of divine grace, has only just been included in the development plan of new materials.

If there is a major breakthrough in silicon-based materials, then the magicians in the world of grace are very likely to usher in a new revolution no less than the explosion of alchemy technology. This material has a superior magic engraving capacity, theoretically It can directly engrave more than [-] runes on a palm-sized silicon-based material.

After engraving, based on the logic writing rules at the time of engraving, you only need to input low magic power to directly start the complex model calculation.

You must know that with normal magic crystals, the runes that can be engraved usually do not exceed three digits. This is no longer a quantitative gap, but a generational gap.

In addition, there are things other than the material of the detector itself, or accessories.

"This is some kind of aerogel, which is used to extinguish fire. This is a composite material that has no obvious use, but it can be expanded into two sails like wings. When I checked with alchemy, I confirmed that these two sails As long as the board has light radiation, it can generate energy similar to thunder magic, which is very magical."

Finally the Grand Master of Alchemy produced a prototype, a gold-plated disk with engraved patterns on it: "And this, I suspect, should be a record."

"...Record?" General Rexxar felt that he had heard it wrong: "Are you sure it's a record, not something else—a special keepsake?"

"No, this is a record." The alchemy master shrugged, took a player in his laboratory, took out the black disc inside, and put the gold-plated disc in it. Press the play button: "Listen."

The beautiful ding ding dong sound came out, as sweet as mountains and flowing water.

"And this should not be as simple as just recording the audio, it should also record other information on the other side."

"Why do they have records!" General Rexxar gasped: "Is this a coincidence?!"

"No, I don't think it's a coincidence. Both the size and the playing method are similar to our records. It's not uncommon to use a physical notch as an audio carrier, and it also has an instruction manual and a stylus on it."

But it is very interesting to use laser recording method to record audio signal, and also make this circular sheet sound carrier. "

The unknown possible NPC next to him began to reason again: "Is it possible, I mean, a special coincidence that people in our world went to this civilization through the previous method similar to the space rift, and spread to them Something like a record?"

When everyone thought about it, it might not be impossible—their fleet was not the first visitor to stray into this endless sea.

It's just that their expeditionary exploration fleet is large enough to fight, and they just have all kinds of materials and manpower prepared for expeditionary exploration, which in turn survived successfully and began to explore this sea area, instead of landing directly as fish feed.

If someone is lucky, maybe he can reach the end of the runway where they are now in another way and meet the new civilization.

"But the problem is, we haven't owned this thing for many years." The alchemy master pressed the pause button and pulled out from the state of shaking his head listening to the music: "The first record in the world of grace is the White Rabbit Chamber of Commerce. The vinyl record released back then was still an old-fashioned Guanzhuang recording phonograph, I still remember the songs, Ye Som~ Ye Som~ You are a city that never sleeps~~”

"I had that one too, and it was very popular at the time." The Longjiao woman nodded: "The initial price seems to be 120 gold coins or something. At that time, it was something that nobles could afford, and it was a good prop to show their status."

As she spoke, she turned her head and looked at General Rexxar: "Speaking of which, isn't the White Rabbit Merchant Guild the property of your Human First Legion? Is there any inside story? Is your former alchemy master missing?"

"I don't know, I don't know much about these things." General Rexxar is still in a state of confusion, having various brainstorms.

If the people of the Republic encounter contact of the third kind by chance, the other party raises his hand and pulls out a pack of spicy sticks from his pocket and asks his brother if he wants one, then the human beings will also be confused.

"Laser recording information and engraving discs is something that happened at the end of the Three Worlds War. If any of our members really traveled to that civilization, then his level must be too low, otherwise he would not be able to access the most advanced laser alchemy technology at that time, but this The years may not match each other... But anyway, this is good news, maybe there is a little tacit understanding between us and the new civilization?"

The great master of alchemy said, pulled out the record, turned around, and showed everyone the notch on it: "Look, what is this?"

"……can't read."

"This is a schematic diagram of a galaxy. They use the positions of 14 known pulsars to mark the positions of their stars, and this binary number represents their pulse signal period. By the way, the notch on the circle, represents their binary speed, which is one revolution every 3.6 seconds."

"Wait! How do you know how long a second is for them?"

"This is simple. They also engraved the basic transition time of the hydrogen atom, and the model of the hydrogen atom is in the lower right corner. This pattern represents the low state of the hydrogen atom. The dotted line is the spin action of the proton and the electron. This The spin transition time provides a time reference for other information on the cover, as long as this is understood, then all the information on this record can be read."

"Then... can we figure it out?" Hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with hope.

Good to read!If you read it out, if you warmly invite us to be a guest face to face, you don't have to worry about it!

It would be nice if you were a guest and still take care of the meal, General Rexxar subconsciously had such a weird thought.

No way, he has to take care of tens of thousands of people to eat and drink every day when he opens his eyes. The angel Tyr blew up that big guy before, which made him busy finding a way out instead of hunting. The fleet had a heartache for a while, and God knows how many days it will be before the next time they find something edible and offer it to their door.

The fleet, which was not rich at all, immediately became worse, and had to eat small fish for a long time...

"I can't—although I really want to decipher all the information, but I don't have the technology."

"But don't you understand?"

"You can also understand Common Language, why don't you combine them into beautiful songs and become a bard? Protons and electrons, our National Institute of Alchemy only proposed this concept, we have not yet been able to use it Experiments have proved the specific existence and nature of these two cuties, which can only mean that the new civilization not only has a tacit understanding with us, but even surpasses us in certain areas of development."

Wow!Aliens have carriages too!

Wow!The aliens are so advanced in technology, their carriages must be able to fly!

"So can we get in touch with them?"

"I think it's okay, at least they didn't show malicious intent, but the problem is that we haven't found more detectors."

"Then what should we do? Are we just waiting? What if this probe is just a coincidence that arrived here by chance, and didn't come here deliberately to find us?"

"No, you said it the other way around. The high probability is a coincidence, and the extremely small probability is initiative—so why don't we take the initiative?"

"How to take the initiative?"

"There is a starry sky outside the space rift here, but we haven't investigated what is on the other side of the space rift in the sea."
