Chapter 511: Chapter 512 The Test of Luo People
Since the artificial uterus technology can reproduce completely without the help of female Luo people, the collectors wonder why only Connor's activity traces were found when surveying the underground facility.
The time between Connor's landing and the time between the collector's landing is quite long. During this period, he did not carry out population reproduction to expand the scale of underground facilities, which is strange.
As the saying goes, more people are more powerful than others. This is not just a competition. One more person means more creativity and labor force, and Connor, as a leader, will also reduce his work pressure a lot. If Connor increases his population, when the collectors dive into the ground, what they see is not just a little scale. Underground facilities should be an underground city.
Connor showed deep helplessness about this issue.
"Because the artificial uterus was damaged when it was first hit by the tsunami, although I tried to repair it in the back, the damaged part was generally repaired, but the core circuit board was damaged and needed to be replaced. I didn't have a finishing machine tool, so I couldn't repair it completely."
It's not that Connor doesn't want to increase the population, but he can't do it. The spacecraft was directly affected by the Mach tsunami. At that time, the internal environment was like drying clothes at high speed in a drum washing machine. Although it was forced to survive with the structural strength of the spacecraft itself, many instruments carried inside the spacecraft were because The tsunami caused some irreparable damage.
This includes the artificial uterus, a mechanical device that increases the population.
"That's really unfortunate."
The collectors sympathize. They have also carried out cross-star colonization. They can't imagine what a serious challenge they will face if the colonists lose the ability to expand the number of ethnic groups.
I'm afraid it's harder than Connor of Lo. After all, the collectors' technology is to build a huge number of individuals, from the basic surface rhizomes to the giant organisms in the universe.
Of course, all this is just a hypothesis formed by the hard analogy between the collectors and the Luo people. After all, there are differences between them and the Luo people, and such differences are also destined that the probability of them encounter such problems is negligible.
Luo Ren's attitude was contrary to that of the collector, and he was very optimistic.
"I'm very lucky to survive the supersonic tsunami. Although I'm the only one on the planet, after the underground survival station is built, work such as mining and planting is basically handed over to the machine. Most of my time I lie in the hibernation cabin and sleep, waiting for my civilization to receive the distress signal. Send a rescue team here."
People should learn to be content. After starting from their mother planet, they have experienced so many things. What they get after ups and downs is a strong psychological quality. Ordinary people can't stand being imprisoned for a week, but Connor has been supporting for a month before he can't stand it. He said that he has seen it very much. Even if he is naively collapsed, he You can also watch the play calmly.
After thinking about something, Connor hesitated for a while.
In the end, Connor made up his mind and tentatively asked him about the cartoon image of Luo people appearing on the wall of the room in front of him, that is, asking the collectors.
"Can I ask you some questions?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Who the hell are you? Where does it come from?"
Connor asked these questions with nervousness, because he was not sure what these aliens thought of him as an alien. His life and death were completely pinched by a group of aliens who didn't even know what the body looked like, so he was furry.
This is mainly caused by the uneasiness caused by the unknown, which is also common among human beings. It is the crisis consciousness that evolved after the organism has experienced a long evolution. Such a crisis consciousness will prompt the organism to try to understand the unknown, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating the sense of fear.
After the elimination of the unknown, the probability of survival of organisms that know something has become much higher.
Of course, it's not just that. Connor's heart knows that aliens will not talk to him about human rights. The other party may even have a different social structure from his own race, and it may be for other purposes.
The purpose of his inquiry is not only to eliminate his fear of the unknown, but also to try to understand the alien civilization that saved him, at least to confirm whether the alien civilization is malicious or well-intentioned.
What is malice? What is goodwill?
Malice is very aggressive, and goodwill is not strong offensive, which is the standard summarized by Luo people's civilization.
Of course, everything is very complicated. Even people do not have absolute good and absolute evil, let alone a whole civilization? Therefore, cosmic civilization should be a complex situation of a mixture of good and evil, not absolute black or absolute white. They should be gray. Different action strategies are adopted according to different situations. Some situations can become black, and some situations can become white. What drives them to act like this is the interests, which is related to the whole civilization. The interests.
Connor hopes to use this to find out whether this alien civilization that saves himself is in contact with his mother civilization whether it is aggressive or willing to communicate. The latter is definitely what Connor wants to see.
This is easy to judge. A civilization that is willing to communicate will not mind showing information related to itself to the other party.
Soon, Connor waited for the result he wanted, and he was secretly relieved.
"Our civilization is called 'Ameba', and the star system was born from the current location 32 light-years away."
"What did you come near the black hole for? Or is it just a simple pass-by?"
The hanging heart relaxed, and Connor turned to ask some questions that he was curious about. In theory, there should be no civilization willing to approach such a ghost place as a black hole. After all, a black hole is such an extreme celestial body, and there are very few resources available around it, if it is not because of the black hole. The stars were sent to colonize, and the Luo civilization would not send Connor to the vicinity of the black hole.
"We are trying to establish a signal station to make the coordinates of the black hole obvious to improve the safety of the interstellar route."
"Star Route? Can you achieve a large-scale interstellar voyage?!"
Connor was stunned for a moment, and then his mood was violent. His eyes widened and he stared straight at the cartoon image on the wall of the room, which seemed to be very surprised.
The collector was also puzzled by Connor's reaction.
"Your question is very strange. Didn't you colonize it on the black hole companion star after interstellar navigation?"
