Science fiction writer?

Yawgmoth's words caused the soldier who had just handed over the communication equipment to Xiangshan into confusion. He checked the registration form on the tablet in his hand again, and then compared the photo on the registration form with Xiang Shan.

At the same time, an exclamation came from the headset of Xiangshan's headset communication device: Hey, man, science fiction writer? What the hell is this? Are you a science fiction writer?

It's the former NASA expert who came here with Xiang Shan just now.

It can be heard that his worldview has also been challenged.

Ah, yes, I am indeed a science fiction writer... Xiang Shan was explaining this, and Yawgmoth took over: The database just established includes all the papers that may be used, as well as some related Science fiction novels about aliens. I looked it up according to his name and found that this is indeed the case.”

As Yawgmoth spoke, he stretched out his hand to Xiangshan: Brother, I don't know how you did it. But I think you must be one of the greatest science fiction writers in human history. You have only published three short stories, I was sent here - although I don't agree with non-professionals entering this kind of situation, your novel must be very convincing. I have a plan to learn Chinese. I will definitely read it if I have the opportunity.

Xiang Shan was slightly embarrassed. He didn't expect this brother to be so sincere and said: Hahaha... I think it would be a bit of a waste if you learned Chinese just to read the novels I wrote. Really, those things It’s really boring…”

Oh, is it the instruction manual style of the former Red League [former-Red Republic Alliance]? I actually like that one...

There were already several bursts of laughter coming from the headphones.

Xiang Shan waved his hands repeatedly: Stop...stop, my friend. This is actually a small joke. I didn't expect it would cause such a big misunderstanding. In fact...I am indeed a science fiction novelist, but that It’s a hobby, a hobby! Understand? My job is as an engineering researcher. Let me introduce myself, Xiang Shan, assistant researcher at the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University.”

Yawgmoth had already reacted. But he was not angry, but extended his hand in a friendly manner: It seems that I can indeed have higher expectations for the scientific literacy of bureaucrats. Let's formally meet Yawgmoth, associate researcher in genetics at Harvard Medical School. Voigt.”

The two of them sat on the bench set up in the rest area. Another person extended his hand in a friendly manner: Associate researcher at SIL [Researcher on World Minority Languages ​​and Characters], Mr. Kanbara, nice to meet you.

This man's height and body shape are completely unlike the island country friend in Xiangshan's impression. He is definitely 1.95 meters tall, and you can see faint muscles under his loose clothes. Xiangshan carefully shook hands with his friend: Are you a citizen of the United States?

No, a Japanese citizen living in the United States... Oh, of course it can't be considered a sojourn. Mr. Kanbara said happily: I am actually mainly doing fieldwork in Africa to pursue those languages ​​that are about to disappear.

Xiang Shan looked at his muscles: You are far from the linguist in my impression...

Are you talking about me? Xiang? A familiar voice came from the earphones.

Xiangshan could almost picture Ingrid smiling.

These nine people were not the only actual participants in this first exploration of Ogun. In addition to them, there is also a commander, as well as a considerable number of staff groups and expert groups. The former NASA member and Ingrid are both members of the reserve expert team. They will stay connected to Xiangshan and his exploration team through the wired communications carried by the soldiers. However, since Xiangshan, Yawgmoth and Kanbaru are on the front line, their judgment will be given priority.

The world needs linguists like Ms. Granat, and it also needs linguists like me. Kanbaru smiled and said: She is responsible for staying in the library, and I am responsible for staying in the wild. I want to do it in a place like Africa. Field investigation is impossible without a little force.”

Xiang Shan nodded: I can understand.

According to Kambara's own introduction, conducting field research in Africa is not an easy task. It's okay to have simple contact with those simple and primitive buddies, but it is not easy to have comprehensive communication with them and let them accept you as a friend from the bottom of their hearts. Some tribes will even ask you to become a warrior who can hunt beasts alone. In order to record the lives of those primitive buddies, Kanbaru-san even occasionally joined them in their high-intensity hunting activities.

There are really not many linguists as dedicated as him.

Of course, the research results of Shen Yuan Zun are also extremely rich.

The remaining six soldiers are from the European Union and the Russian Federation.

After a brief self-introduction, everyone put on the extremely heavy protective clothing and stepped onto an electric flatbed truck. This flatbed truck is about four square meters, and it’s not too crowded with nine people standing on it. There are guardrails around the flatbed truck. Xiang Shan put his arms on the guardrail to reduce the pressure on himself a little.

The flatbed truck moved forward slowly. Soon, they entered the tent.

This is the first time Xiangshan sees Ogun. It was like a toy rocket that fell to the ground and was broken into two parts. It was covered with dim rust spots - the interstellar material accumulated from countless years of navigation. There are also some particularly conspicuous fixtures on it. These fixtures are all installed to secure the parachute.

After leaving the room, the track is still extending. They actually set up this track about two meters above the ground. Xiangshan could even see the large area of ​​dead coral directly below him.

This bay was originally eight to twelve meters deep, which played a certain protective role in the landing of Ogun.

Now, the water has been drained.

As the distance progressed, the broken rocket grew larger and larger in Xiangshan's eyes. Only now did Xiangshan have an intuitive understanding of Ogun's size.

It was literally a mountain range made of metal.

In addition, there are several people working on Ogun's shell, and they don't know what they are doing.

It's just collecting specimens. Yawgmoth explained: Even the shell of this thing may be contaminated with some alien bacteria. If these samples can be collected, many questions about the origin and evolution of life can be solved. Get the answer. So they are sparing no effort to do this - besides, Ogun relied on a parachute when landing, and the surface temperature did not rise sharply, so those alien bacteria may still exist. Do not put its entire Collect everything on the surface, those people won’t give up.”

Xiang Shan said: I think we should collect it from outer space. It has been on the earth for so long, shouldn't it be contaminated by bacteria in the air?

Collected it. Another voice came from the earphone: After confirming that Ogun was a man-made object, the United States did everything possible to collect spacecraft and rockets. In the process, some samples were naturally collected. The Republic and Russia The federal government is also involved. Those samples are now stored in several organizations including NASA and CASC for analysis, but so far, nothing with signs of life has been found.

It's just that human beings' ability to move in the universe is very limited at this stage, so there may indeed be omissions. Therefore, when 'Ogun' exists on the ground, we need to scour its surface.

Well, that makes sense. Xiang Shan nodded and stopped talking.

The tracks began to settle. Soon it dropped to the ground. Several soldiers jumped off the flatbed truck first. Xiang Shan followed him down. There is still some unpumped seawater on the ground, about as high as the knees. Under the sea water is something like sand. If it weren't for a powered exoskeleton, Xiangshan might not be able to pull his foot out once he stepped into it.

He took a few steps forward towards the mountain. Directly in front of him was the huge fracture.

The strength of this thing is difficult to support its own weight. It is most likely not cast on the surface of the planet. The former NASA expert said: This is the first detection of the interior. Be careful.

The members of the exploration team each checked the equipment they carried.

Then, everyone cautiously walked towards the huge fracture and slowly walked into the darkness.

…………………………………………………………………………

In the darkness, Xiangshan squatted down and released the drone.

This is the entrance to a natural cave. The cave is less than a meter high and narrow in width. In the old days, Xiangshan would even think that it was a nest dug by some kind of wild animal.

But in fact, this is a ventilation vent in Dazhai, a forklift group.

The strength of the Forklift Group is much weaker than that of the Z Organization. Many of its members retain a large number of living organisms. They have a higher demand for oxygen and cannot remain closed like the Z Organization.

Such vents need to be cleaned regularly.

The two Green Forests who were killed by Xiangshan Qiantian had undertaken such a task.

The drone is slowly descending. When they were about to leave the range of Xiangshan's wireless signal transmitter, one of the drones automatically stopped and acted as a relay, extending Xiangshan's wireless signal.

Xiangshan slowly exited the cave entrance.

Yuki carried the little girl on his shoulders and waited for Xiangshan to come out. The little girl was slapping Yuki on the head. Yuki shook his head and was teasing the little guy. When he saw Xiang Shan coming out, he asked happily: Master, don't you think we should give the little guy a name? It's not convenient to call him this way...

Don't name the child you picked up casually. What will happen if she develops feelings? Xiang Shan said angrily: We will find a reliable family to send her away one day.

Youji looked at Xiangshan hesitantly: Master, you don't seem very happy now?
