"Major, are we still going forward?"
the team members asked.
As the two leaders of this volunteer team, Major Baker and Lieutenant Ji Qingbo discussed with each other and decided to move forward.
There is no way, as the first batch of explorers, they are not here to play, but to obtain more information about other worlds for the Earth Federation.
To say an exaggeration:
The 7.5 billion people on the earth are still waiting for their first-hand news; the 20 million troops of the Earth Federation are also waiting for their reports.
And they had just entered the other world for less than ten minutes, how could they go back just like that? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?
"The Panzer III stays and the two tanks move forward! We need to collect more information!"
"Yes, Major!"
After making this decision, the No. 1 and No. 2 tanks started and moved forward again. The Panzer III tank stayed in place and was ready to respond to them.
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak...
The tank drove slowly and steadily onto the concrete road. Due to the smoothness of the road, the tank's forward speed became slightly faster.
Inside the tank.
The volunteers stared intently at the computer screen.
"It is indeed a tall building!"
"According to the analysis of spectral images, the tall buildings on both sides of the road are the same as the buildings on our planet. They are also made of cement and sandstone, and are wrapped with steel bars."
"Well, it's reinforced concrete. There's also decorative glass, but most of it is broken!"
At this time, a cold wind blew by, and a piece of paper fell from the sky. There seems to be a lot of words on the paper...
Is it the "newspaper" of an alien civilization?
If everyone guessed correctly, this is the best channel to understand the civilization of other worlds.
"Quick, stop it!"
Everyone shouted.
Hearing the sound, the driver immediately stopped the tank.
"Major, let me go out and pick it up!" A middle-aged white man in his 40s applied.
He is a professor at the University of Cambridge in England, a linguist in the team, and is proficient in more than 30 earth languages. It once took him only two months to learn Chinese, the most difficult language on earth.
It can be said that in the field of linguistics, this person can be regarded as a real master!
In the Earth's federal government's vision, if a team of explorers encounters intelligent life in another world, this language expert will come forward to communicate.
You can't just do it when you meet, right? !
At this time, Major Baker shook his head when he heard the language expert's application.
"No, just wait in the car! I'll go!"
"Major..."
"This is an order!"
After saying that, Major Baker stood up, opened the top cover of the tank, and climbed out...
Under everyone's nervous attention, Major Baker walked quietly towards the "other world paper" in front of him.
One step, two steps, three steps...
Major Baker's steps were slow and light, and his good professional qualities prevented him from making any sound.
Finally, he came to the "other world paper" and then bent down to pick it up.
"It is indeed a newspaper!"
Major Baker felt happy and slowly backed away to the tank. Then he jumped up and climbed onto the tank.
Inside the tank, the volunteer team members were waiting for him expectantly.
As soon as Major Baker entered the tank, the language expert immediately reached out and grabbed the "paper from another world".
"Oh God, it is indeed a newspaper from another world! But the text on it is different from ours on Earth. It looks a bit like English, but not English."
Linguistic experts analyzed it carefully...
Everyone looked at him intently.
A moment later, the language expert's analysis had preliminary results.
"This is a 'phonetic' system language!"
Everyone was puzzled: "Professor, what is the 'phonetic' system?"
"Language is divided into three systems: first, the phonetic system, which is a text modeled with sounds, and the representative language is equivalent to English on our planet; second, the ideographic system, which assigns the meaning to be expressed to a certain text, which represents the language: Chinese. 3. Logical system, using text and fire symbols to illustrate logical relationships. Representative language: computer language."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood a little bit.
"Professor, are you saying that the language of this alien civilization is similar to the English on our planet?"
"Yes! As long as there is enough text, we can crack it in half a day at most!"
Hearing such words, all the volunteers were in high spirits.
Major Baker looked at his watch and saw that there were still 20 minutes left before he could report back to Earth.
There is plenty of time!
"Keep driving and try to collect more such otherworldly newspapers."
"Yes, Major!"
The tank started up again and drove slowly towards the road ahead.
Everyone opened their eyes and watched the computer screen carefully, hoping to find more items with text.
However, at this moment, no one noticed:
Inside the tank, there were actually some extremely tiny alien elements in the air.
These alien molecules are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye and have not even been detected by the Earth Federation's air detectors.
They are entering the volunteers' bodies through breathing.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
Sudden!
The first tank stopped again.
The driver was shocked: "There seems to be an alien native lying ahead on the road!"
What? !
Everyone turned their cameras and looked at the computer screen.
Sure enough, there was an alien creature lying on the road ahead, and its body shape turned out to be "human-shaped".
"Turn on the thermal camera and see if it's still alive!"
"Yes, Major!"
The thermal imager turned on instantly, and a red dot appeared on the computer screen.
The red dot is small and a bit dim.
Is it still alive? The breath of life is very weak?
This discovery silenced the entire volunteer team.
Are you going to touch it? To save or not to save?
Everyone is considering the pros and cons...
At this moment, a voice sounded:
"I go!"
The speaker is Dr. Field, an expert in ecology and biology in the team.
As a scientific researcher, he knows the value of an alien creature better than anyone else. Regardless of whether it can be saved or not, as long as it can be brought back to Earth, even a corpse will bring great convenience to the Earth's understanding of other worlds.
To put it bluntly, if there is a war between the two worlds, the earth can use this biological sample to create cruel genetic weapons against people from other worlds...
"Major, I need to get checked out!"
Dr. Field repeated it again, with a very firm attitude.
Upon hearing his application, Lieutenant "Ji Qingbo" in the second tank said: "I will accompany you this time! Colonel Baker, you are responsible for the defense!"
After hearing this, Major Baker thought for a moment and agreed.
Immediately, the top covers of the two tanks opened.
Dr. Field and Lieutenant Ji Qingbo both climbed out of the tank and walked towards the still "alive" alien native in front.
With everyone watching with concern, the two came to the alien natives.
Chinese Lieutenant "Ji Qingbo" held an automatic rifle in his hand and looked around vigilantly; Dr. Field knelt down and began to examine the alien native.
Its body is a little gray, and there is a big hole in its chest with no blood flowing out...
Seeing this, Dr. Field frowned.
According to common sense, this is a corpse, and it has been dead for a long time. However, judging from the thermal imager image, it is still alive.
How is this going? Could it be, could it be...
At this moment, when Dr. Field was frowning and thinking, and when Lieutenant Ji Qingbo was alerting everyone.
The "corpse" trembled strangely, and then instantly opened its eyes, which were gray and white.
The next moment, it sat up suddenly, hugged the creature in front of it, and bit it crazily...
