Chapter 99 Heading to Ogun

"Sci-fi writer?"

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

At the same time, there was a burst of exclamation from the headset of the Xiangshan headset: "Hey, buddy, science fiction writer? What the hell is this? Are you a science fiction writer?"

It was the former NASA expert who came with Xiang Shan just now.

He could hear that his worldview had also been challenged.

"Ah, that's right, I'm indeed a science fiction writer..." Xiang Shan was explaining this, and Yawgmoth took over the conversation: "The database just established includes all the papers that may be used, as well as some related papers. Science fiction about aliens. I looked it up by his name and it was true."

Yawgmoth said while reaching out his hand to Xiang Shan: "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 only published three short stories, I was sent here—although I do not approve of non-professionals entering this kind of occasion, but your novel must be very convincing. I have a plan to learn Chinese. I will definitely read it when I get the chance. "

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

"Oh, is it the manual style of the former Red League [former-Red Alliance of Republics]? I actually like that kind of..."

There were already a few laughs coming from the earphones.

And Xiang Shan waved his hands again and again: "Stop...stop, my friend. This is actually a small joke, I didn't expect it to cause such a big misunderstanding. Actually... I am indeed a science fiction writer, but that It’s a hobby, a hobby! Understand? My job is an engineering researcher. Let me introduce myself, Xiang Shan, an 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 way: "It seems that I can indeed have higher expectations for the scientific literacy of the bureaucrats. Let's get to know each other formally. Yawgmoth, associate researcher of genetics at Harvard Medical School, Voigt."

The two were sitting on a bench set up in the rest area.Another person extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Associate researcher at SIL [World Minority Language Researcher], Kamihara Takashi, nice to meet you."

This person's height and body shape are not at all like Xiang Shan's friend from the island country in his impression.His height is definitely 1.9 meters five, and the faint muscles can be seen under the loose clothes.Xiang Shan shook hands with this friend carefully: "Are you a citizen of the United States?"

"No, Japanese citizens, living in the United States... Oh, of course it can't be counted as living in the United States." Mr. Kanbara Takashi said happily: "In fact, I mainly do field research in Africa to find languages ​​that are about to disappear."

Xiang Shan looked at his muscles: "You are far from the linguist I remember..."

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

Xiang Shan could almost picture Ingrid smiling.

This is the first exploration of Ogun, and the actual participants are not only the nine people.In addition to them, there is also a commander, and a considerable number of staff and expert groups.The former NASA member and Ingrid belong to the reserve expert team.They will keep in touch with Xiang Shan and his exploration team through the wired communication carried by those soldiers.However, since Xiangshan, Yawgmoth, and Kanbara were on the front line, their judgments would be given priority.

"The world needs a linguist like Ms. Granat, and a linguist like me." Kanbara said with a smile: "She is in charge of staying in the library, and I am in charge of staying in the wild. I want to do it in a place like Africa. Field investigations cannot be done without a little force."

Xiang Shan nodded: "Understandable."

According to Kanbara himself, doing fieldwork in Africa is not an easy task.It's okay to have simple contact with those simple and primitive buddies, but it's not easy to have a comprehensive communication with them and let them accept you as a friend from the bottom of their hearts.Some tribes will even require you to be a warrior who can hunt the beast alone.In order to record the lives of those primitive buddies, Kanbara even occasionally joins their high-intensity hunting activities.

There are really not many dedicated linguists like him.

Of course, Kanbara's research results 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 on an electric flatbed.This flatbed car is about four square meters, and it is not particularly crowded for nine people to stand on it.There are guardrails around the flatbed.Xiang Shan rested 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 was the first time Xiang Shan saw "Ogun".It looked like a toy rocket that fell to the ground and broke in two. It was covered with dull rust spots-the accumulation of interstellar matter from unknown years of voyages.There are also some particularly conspicuous fixtures on it.These fixtures are all installed for securing the parachute.

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

The bay was originally eight to 12 meters deep, which played a certain protective role in the landing of "Ogun".

And now, the water has been drained.

As the distance progressed, the broken rocket became bigger and bigger in the eye of the mountain.Only now did Xiang Shan have an intuitive understanding of Ogun's size.

This is simply a mountain made of metal.

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

"It's all about collecting specimens." Yawgmoth explained, "Even the outer shell of this thing may be contaminated with some alien bacteria. If the samples can be collected, many questions about the origin and evolution of life can be solved." Get an answer. So they are sparing no effort to do this - besides, when Ogun landed by parachute, the surface temperature did not rise sharply, so those alien bacteria may still exist. Don't put the whole Collect everything on the surface, those people will not give up."

Xiang Shan said: "I think it should be collected in outer space. It has been on the earth for so long, so it must not be polluted by the bacteria in the air?"

"Collected." Another voice came from the earphone: "After confirming that Ogun was a man-made object, the United States did everything possible to make up spacecraft and rockets. During this process, naturally some samples were also collected. The Republic and Russia The Federation is also involved. Now those samples are 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 search its surface carefully."

"Well, it makes sense." Xiang Shan nodded and stopped talking.

The track begins to sink.It quickly drops to the ground.Several soldiers jumped off the flatbed first.Xiang Shan followed.There is still some seawater on the ground that has not been pumped clean, probably to the knees.Under the sea is something like sand.If it weren't for the powered exoskeleton, Xiangshan might not be able to pull his foot out if he stepped in.

Take a few steps forward to the mountain.Right in front of him was the huge breach.

"The strength of this thing is difficult to support its own weight, and it is very likely that it was not cast on the surface of the planet." The former NASA expert said: "This is the first detection of the interior. Be careful."

Members of the exploration team each check the equipment they are carrying.

Afterwards, everyone cautiously walked towards the huge breach and slowly walked into the darkness.

..............................................................................

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

This is the entrance to a natural cave.The cave is only less than one meter high and narrow in width.If it was in the old generation, Xiang Shan would even think that it was a nest dug out by some kind of wild animal.

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

The strength of the forklift group is much weaker than that of the Z organization. Many of the members are the ones that retain a large number of organisms. They have a higher demand for oxygen and cannot remain closed like the Z organization.

Such vents need to be cleaned regularly.

And the two green forests that killed Xiang Shanqian had undertaken such a task.

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

Xiang Shan 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 was shaking his head, teasing the little one.When he saw Xiang Shan coming out, he asked happily: "Master, do you think we should write the little guy to give him a name? It's not convenient to call him like this..."

"Don't name the child you picked up casually, what if you develop feelings for it?" Xiang Shan said angrily, "We will find a reliable family to send her away one day."

Yuki looked at Xiang Shan hesitantly: "Master, you don't seem very happy now?"
