The immigration spaceship is really on that brown planet.
Those who finally arrived, for whatever reason, did not choose this planet, which obviously had water and a suitable temperature, and landed on the brown planet. Although the temperature on that planet can allow humans to survive, the ecological environment is obviously far inferior to this one.
After landing, the people on the immigrant ship discovered that there was no way to survive on the brown planet. They dismantled the immigrant spacecraft and used the last resources to build a spacecraft that shuttled between planets. They came to the blue planet and became the ancestors of everyone here.
The earliest immigrant spacecraft flew a blue flag, so it became a totem for many large and small forces.
"In that era, did any force use a blue flag?" Lin Xi asked.
Li Ruobai searched for the information, shook his head and said: "It was still during the Great Schism, and there were so many small forces using blue flags that it was impossible to determine which one they were. The information during that period was also incomplete."
Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "It seems we need more clues. The first thing now is to find other people. They may also be attacked."
"We need to make some preparations here first."
At this time, Om said, "Can you let them in first? Their oxygen tanks don't have enough reserves and they won't last long."
Lin Xi nodded and said, "Without weapons, these people can't do any tricks."
Li Ruobai waved to Chu Jungui and said, "Let's take him there."
The two of them escorted Orm and summoned the residents of the settlement. After scanning that there were no weapons on their bodies, Orm designated a few people to move all the weapons to a warehouse and lock them up. Then everyone went home.
After doing all this, Li Ruobai said to Aum: "Let's stay at your house and we can show you something later."
When I got home, Aum's wife and daughter were also in the room, standing against the wall, feeling awkward.
Li Ruobai cleared an open space in the hall on the first floor, installed the manufacturing machine, and then drew a sketch by hand on his personal terminal. While drawing, he said to Aum: "It seems that oxygen is everything to you."
"Of course, everyone needs to breathe, and the engine must be able to start." Aum spread his hands.
"Actually, oxygen is not that precious."
"We also know it, but there is nothing we can do. We don't have the ability to produce oxygen."
At this time, Li Ruobai had completed the sketch and entered it into the manufacturing machine. A moment later, a half-meter-high machine appeared in front of everyone.
"Bring two pipes." Li Ruobai ordered.
Al quickly found a leather tube. Li Ruobai looked around, punched a hole in the window, stretched one end of the leather tube out of the window, connected the other end to the machine, and then connected another leather tube. Install it on the exhaust vent and let it pass outside the house. Finally, after installing a polymer battery, Li Ruobai turned on the switch, and a stream of air erupted from the machine.
Om sniffed hard, his face suddenly changed, and he lost his voice: "Oxygen!"
In Chu Jungui's field of vision, the oxygen content in the air blown out of the machine continued to increase. In the blink of an eye, the concentration had reached more than 60% and stabilized.
"How did you do this?" Om threw himself in front of the small machine, his hands trembling. Al, on the other hand, was more interested in the large-scale manufacturing machine that could create things out of thin air. He wanted to touch it, but he didn't dare.
At this moment, Li Ruobai turned off the oxygen concentrator with a snap. Looking at Aum's disappointed and nervous eyes, Li Ruobai said slowly: "Do a few things for us, and this thing will be yours."
Orm quickly made up his mind and said: "We hunters originally made a living by working for our employers. As long as you give us that machine, all our lives will be yours!"
"make a deal."
After nightfall, Om and his family slept in the warehouse on the first floor, leaving the room upstairs to the four of them.
The four of them didn't need such a long sleep, so they gathered together to discuss the next course of action.
Li Ruobai clicked on his personal terminal, projected a virtual map of the surrounding area among the four of them, and said: "I sorted out the information obtained in the past two days, and it is basically certain that there are people on this planet who have deliberately carried out knowledge and technology. Blockade. The technical level and knowledge system of these people in the settlements have been artificially separated. The population of each settlement is too small, and there is no communication with each other, so there is no possibility of self-research and breakthrough."
Chu Jungui was a little puzzled and asked: "In the old days, weren't there many people who relied on their own exploration to invent?"
"You're talking about the eighteenth century, right? It's the thirty-fifth century now! Without auxiliary chips and a brain that has been highly developed since childhood, modular teaching, it would take 50 years to learn the basic theory of the subject. You don't understand anything. What other inventions do you want to make? Look at the people here, they can't even build such a simple pressure swing adsorption oxygen machine. It's not that they don't have enough technical skills, but they don't understand the principles at all. Even if you kill them, you can't design such a machine. "
Chu Jungui was speechless after being refuted. The test subjects still knew very little about human society, especially some deep-seated things.
"It was no secret in the old days that there was such a simple device for concentrating oxygen in the air, but people in settlements still had to rely on chemical oxygen production to survive. This shows that the city wants to monopolize the oxygen supply to all The settlement is under your control.”
"What should we do now? Go to the city?" No. 4 asked.
Li Ruobai shook his head, "No, now is not the time. Since we already know that someone is deliberately blocking technology, it is probably those guys in the city who did it. We can be sure that they must have weapons in their hands that far exceed the technological level of the settlement, and according to what has been There is information, and the city’s defense facilities are also very complete. It is completely a fortress. We currently lack heavy firepower, so attacking the fortress is not a good idea.”
Li Ruobai released the last image of the orbital spacecraft before the explosion that day, saying: "Based on the last image we saw, I roughly calculated the areas where several other rescue capsules may fall, and they should all be to the west of where we are now. So, The key direction of our exploration should also be the West."
He released the map again, pointed to one of the settlements, and said: "This settlement is 160 kilometers away, and it will take about a day. In this way, Jun Gui and I will take Aum and go there to have a look first. Sister Xi and No. 4 will stay here, waiting for us to come back. If anyone comes in the city during this period, they will catch them and ask for some information. When those people in the city realize that something is wrong, Jun Gui and I should come back. No matter how many people they send here, they are just sending food. It is better to annihilate them in the wild than to attack the fortress."
Lin Xi had no objection, so Li Ruobai and Chu Jungui packed up some ammunition supplies, took Aum with them, and left the settlement before dawn to explore westward.
