At dusk, the shadow of the auxiliary star appeared again on the horizon. In addition to some samples and specimens, the three-person team led by Lu Ning also escorted back one person.
It is difficult to completely identify this person's face by comparing his appearance. After all, unlike the corpse in the outpost, this person has lived in the environment of the Phantom Star for so long, and has undergone many changes in both appearance and physique. There are more than a dozen people with 90% similarity, and it is impossible to determine who this person is.
But there is another clue. After beating the attacker unconscious with the recorder, Lu Ning checked the hammer. This weapon with an obvious atmosphere of industrial civilization still retains some characteristics, such as the built-in authentication chip, which can be used to check the hammer. A series of information such as the factory number and date of production of this hammer are enough to confirm that this is indeed one of the equipment provided to the members of the advance team. It is a demolition hammer commonly used by engineers.
As for the outpost, just one day has passed, and it already looks like a decent base. It couldn't be seen from the outside, but Tie Mei was standing outside the disguise and doing a set of punches. It seemed that he had completed his part of the work. When he saw Lu Ning coming back, he came up to greet them. The man didn't ask any questions, he just took it and carried it on his shoulders.
The repair work has been basically completed in the outpost. The ruins, corpses and remaining phantom beasts can no longer be seen in the corridors. After the energy supply is restored, the bright lights gradually fade the residual impression given by these corridors. Occasionally, they can still be seen. I saw some infrastructure robots installing new equipment.
This is the important role of people like Dragon Vein in the army. They may not have strong individual combat effectiveness, but as long as they have an industrial base, they can develop an industrial bunker within a few days. Through the efficient self-replication and tireless performance of robots, Working on the ground can easily achieve technological upgrades.
"Good job." Lu Ning couldn't help but praise.
"Basically, Dragon Vein is working on these things, and the deputy team and Spider Silk are also busy. I can't help much." Tie Mei smiled, "Yang Hao is now greedy for those fantasy beasts we threw into the containment area. , the bayonet controlled him, but it gave him a headache for a long time."
"Yanghao's attitude towards the bayonet is pretty good." Spades said, "Although I always feel that his tone still has that unpleasant meaning, at least it's much better."
"Yang Hao used to be a professor. His reputation among students is actually pretty good. If something like that hadn't happened, maybe he would have become the dean of the school because of his teaching performance and academic achievements." Lu Ning walked into the elevator and said briefly. Regarding the situation of the team members, "As Bayonet is still a student, perhaps Yanghao will subconsciously treat people of this age with a different attitude."
"How can a person who commits academic fraud actually treat students well?" Recorder asked.
"Excellent teachers and morally corrupt researchers may sound like two completely different things. In fact, we have many similar examples... not to mention that there are doubts behind Yang Hao's case."
"Oh, otherwise he wouldn't be qualified to come here." Spades nodded, "I'm surprised. Logically speaking, he should have been killed long ago, but in the end he still had this opportunity to atone for his sins. But, at least from our perspective When we get along with each other, this guy is indeed not that good of a person, so it’s not an injustice to be in this situation.”
"I just want you to get to know each other better and don't distrust your teammates...otherwise you will die." Lu Ning warned as she watched the numbers slowly jump to the lower level.
"It sounds like there's some secret, Captain." Tie Mei's tone suddenly became more serious.
"You can take it as my intuition or experience or something like that. We haven't even uncovered the surface of the secrets here in Phantom Star, so I'm not particularly optimistic. Except for the outpost, we have to The spacecraft has also been modified to a certain extent. If there is any irreversible situation, it must at least be able to fly to the edge of the galaxy where our fleet is."
"Have you made an escape plan so early?" Recorder asked.
"Yes."

Yanghao finally felt a little happier. He is not very interested in those E-level creatures. Although the two eggs are very good, they may not be able to achieve very profound progress, but the captain brought back a person!
He didn't care whether the person was hostile or not able to communicate. This is a guy with active attack consciousness, so he has the ability to remember and learn. There are so many ways to dig out the past from this kind of person... No need to talk at all.
Of course, this is not necessary in the beginning.
Lu Ning watched the goat hair and insect bait push the captured person into an analysis machine. Spider Silk was currently busy reclassifying the illustrations and identifying the samples. She couldn't care about this, so she sent the goat hair over to help. With her here, Yang Hao really didn't dare to do anything too extreme. He just gave this person a full body check first.
"Captain, judging from the scan results, he is a natural person. Of course, if we want to confirm it, we have to do genetic profiling later to draw a conclusion. This person's body is relatively healthy, with mild symptoms of malnutrition, and his stomach shows that there is food being digested. Previously, He has experienced eating. There are thick calluses on many parts of the skin on his hands and feet, and there are many scratches on his body, which is evidence of long-term activities in the forest." Yang Hao held the research report, but now he also made the helmet transparent, and Lu Ning could see his face. There was an inexplicable weird smile hanging on it.
"I can look at these general inferences myself later. What did you find that made you feel good?"
"Ah...of course, Captain." Yang Hao used the remote control to open the scan image and displayed it on the big screen behind him, "Thanks to you bringing a living sample, we can finally find a research subject with lesions that can be compared. "
"I remember you just said he was healthy?" Lu Ning asked.
"Health in line with our meaning, physical health." Yang Hao shook the remote control and slowly transferred the perspective scan to the head. In an instant, the head scan from multiple angles revealed the internal structure.
"I don't see anything abnormal." Lu Ning also has medical knowledge. This is not the first time she has seen a head scan. Now it looks like a normal person's brain.
"Ah, please pay attention to the data in the lower right corner." Yang Hao reminded, "That is the data record of the current of brain neurons."
"...I don't understand this. Just tell me the conclusion." Lu Ning shook her head.
"In the field of biology, there is a topic that people have been working on since the formal establishment of biology, which is the development of our own brains." Yang Hao seemed to be interested and started to lecture habitually, "Ancient In the 1970s, people called this place the 'God's Forbidden Zone'. Although the study of the brain has developed rapidly with technological innovations. In the first genetic revolution, we even broke through a little bit of brain area usage, but no one knows the full power. What our brains look like at work.”
"Do you need me to remind you that this is no longer a classroom? Yang Hao?" Lu Ning knocked on the table, "What's wrong with this person's brain?"
"Ahem, sorry, captain, I was excited for a moment. According to the feedback data, his brain neuron partitions began to show signs of compatibility."
"compatible?"
"Different parts of the brain control different functions, such as vision, smell, taste, hearing... these all work in different areas. Just like when we make a service call, we will first classify you and then hand it over to the relevant staff. Same. But! The block processing functions of this person’s brain are merging!”
"What will that lead to?"
"have no idea."
"..."
"Don't look at me like that, Captain. I - no, it should be the first time in the history of biology. No one can predict what the result of this fusion will be. Maybe he can get all the senses through one sense. Perception? Maybe the working efficiency of all areas of his brain can be utilized? This is all speculation. He is only merging, but it has not been completely completed." Yang Hao's tone became more and more excited, "Captain, you are doing the right thing. , this man cannot die, not yet. We have to observe him - I know this involves certain dangers, but I beg you..."
"Approved."
The hair is stuck.
Lu Ning waved her hand: "This person has no ability to communicate at all. I don't know why. I don't care what kind of analysis you want to do. I just need to analyze his basic information and identity for me." on the screen. I said I will support your work."
"It's my honor to meet such an enlightened captain like you." Yang Hao solemnly performed a military salute, although it was still not very standard.
"Prepare what I want, and also teach you some things about insect bait. I will see the results tomorrow."
"No problem, we will definitely meet the requirements!"
Lu Ning sighed, turned and left.
Back in the central control room, the three main people were still working, and now there was an additional bayonet. They were assisting Qiu Shu in piecing together the maps collected today. After Lu Ning came in, he just said hello and went about the business at hand.
"Did today's shooting be affected by that monster in the sky?"
"Oh, because the reconnaissance drone has to operate at high altitudes, it has lightning protection measures." Qiu Shu said without looking back, "Of course it is inevitable to adjust the orbit... Without affecting the overall shooting, what about the man you brought back, captain?" Are you ready?"
"Yang Hao is analyzing him."
"Let me confirm, this is analysis and not dissection, right?" Spider Silk asked.
"He doesn't dare to do it while I'm watching. You seem to have a big opinion against him?" Lu Ning was a little surprised. It was indeed a quarrel between spider silk and hair this morning.
"Academic fraud... Huh. Captain, fortunately he is a professor. If he was a medical major, such a person would be expelled from the industry." Spider Silk snorted coldly.
Lu Ning couldn't talk about this kind of thing in the industry, so he had to deal with it with a few words, walked to his monitoring screen, raised a small screen, connected the radar of the outpost, and turned on the encryption system.
It was time to make a phased report on the overall findings. Lu Ning knew in his heart that the fleet would not only pay attention to his own opinions. At best, it would be a comprehensive report of all the teams. If it were more realistic, it would only look at those who were reported. Focus on the team.
I don’t know if a number like 003 is important enough.
She selected some consensus findings, and tried her best to match the team members' contributions to their intelligence description skills. She did not exaggerate, and even concealed some "extraordinary" information. This job was not particularly complicated. Soon, a very official-looking but unremarkable report was produced. She sent the report through the outpost radar.
=
Outpost 37, Pole.
Wen Beiluo's fingers were tapping rapidly on the panel, and a string of data quickly jumped out on a small screen on his side, and then quickly turned into meaningful text information through the established decoding program.
"Captain, a new report has been sent out." A team member shouted from behind.
"Pass it here." Wen Beiluo said lazily, and then asked: "Which number is it?"
"DU-003."
"Is this the third position of the Universe Defense? Second only to Du Xieyi and Qin Jingyu, I don't know where the officer is... at least it should be more anticipated than this No. 12."
A new pop-up window popped up in front of him, and Wen Beiluo skillfully began to disassemble the information and generate a decoding program, seemingly not caring about the confidentiality of the information that was supposed to be accepted by the fleet.
Soon, Lu Ning's report, which only used the military's daily encryption methods, was revealed.
"Let me take a look...find out? They are all things that are already known...and the names are all codenames...it is watertight. Are these people all from counter-reconnaissance backgrounds?"
"Captain, this course is a required course in the Alliance Military Academy."
"Huh? You still remember those things after graduation? Those are really a group of good students." Wen Beiluo pretended to be surprised, but in fact he was sarcastic, "But if everyone writes like this, can we expect the fleet to receive any useful information? Huh...wait a minute? The observation report of a suspected C-class creature, oh, that’s interesting. Also found a person? Are they being inspected? If I remember correctly, this is the first one to report it, right?"
"If the other No. 1 teams haven't discovered it, Captain. We haven't been able to detect and decipher their signals yet."
"It doesn't matter, what we want is not this little profit. Have you found any special signal?"
"No."
"Hey... Then I'm afraid we have to take action on that thing."
Wen Beiluo tapped the keyboard, and all the pop-up windows disappeared and returned to the desktop background. It was a scene taken not long ago, a polar snowfield. Amidst the flying snowflakes, the stars in the sky formed a wonderful astronomical spectacle. A colorful light band extended in the distant sky, and on the horizon hanging down at the end of the light band, there was an obviously towering black object.
With the current high-resolution photos, Wen Beiluo had already obtained an enlarged picture of the object. It was a tall tower, made entirely of stones. Its architectural model is different from any currently known civilization in the Silver Plate System. Based on some barely identifiable symbols, it does not belong to any known writing system. The only thing that can be determined is that this is not a natural product.
