Super Copy of Great Power Technology

Before leaving, they found a partially damaged household robot in a nearby room. The robot looked similar to an alien, with a human head and a snake body and two arms. When they first found it, the robot could still speak and move its upper body, which scared Qiao Ruida and the other two, who thought they had encountered a living alien. They hid behind the door and observed carefully for a long time before they found that the skin of the "alien" was damaged in the lower body, revealing the metal skeleton and polymer filler, and thus recognized that it was just a robot. When the three of them walked into the room, the household robot was still chirping something, but they couldn't understand the language, so Zhou Xiaobo and Xie Duanyang couldn't understand it at all. Qiao Ruida, who had analyzed all the metal cards, could understand the alien language, but it was inconvenient to show it to the outside world, so he could only pretend not to understand it.

Zhou Xiaobo stood in front of the robot with a paralyzed lower body, carefully observed it for a long time, and finally commented: "The shape of this robot is like that of a female alien. You know what, it looks pretty good, and basically conforms to our human aesthetic standards."

"It's inconvenient and impolite to always call them aliens. Mr. Qiao, why don't we give these aliens a name?" Xie Duanyang suggested.

Qiao Ruida thought for a moment and replied, "You are right. Aliens refer to a very broad range. The boundaries of the entire universe are endless. I don't believe there is only this kind of aliens. They have human heads and snake bodies. They are very similar to the Naga in the Warcraft game. Why not call them Naga people?"

"Naga, Salives from the Dark Abyss? You know what, just looking at their appearance, they really look like the Naga in the game. Let me tell you, I'm a veteran player of World of Warcraft. I've killed Nagas from level 10 to level 100, so I definitely have the right to speak."

"I also think this name is good, simple and easy to remember, and the shape also matches it."

"You said this robot was shouting something. Was it calling her owner, or calling the police?"

"I don't understand the Naga language, how do I know what she is shouting?"

"I guess she was shouting that the aircraft was damaged. Please repair it as soon as possible."

"How are we going to get her back with her arms flailing and screaming like this?"

"There is a button on the back of this robot. Judging from the label, it should be a power button. It looks exactly like the power button on the black box. Go around and press it and try."

Zhou Xiaobo followed his instructions and walked around to the back of the robot, stretched out his hand and pressed the only button. The next moment, the entire robot stopped moving, and its eyes slowly closed, as if it had fallen asleep. Zhou Xiaobo tried to lift the robot, but it was quite heavy, so he activated the power-assist function on his space suit to lift it and put it on his shoulder.

So far, their exploration of the fifth floor of the spacecraft has come to an end. Of course, there are at least hundreds of rooms on the fifth floor, and they have only searched fifty or sixty of them. There are still many rooms that have not been touched. However, they are only the first wave of explorers, and they still use the crudest destructive excavation, which is too wasteful. Most of the remaining rooms should be left for subsequent protective excavation. I heard that the National Astronaut Training Center has invited archaeological experts to give astronauts lessons and train them in archaeological techniques in order to fully explore this alien spacecraft.

Because the spoils they got in the morning were too much, the storage space of the drill was already small, and it was filled up. Qiao Ruida and the other two had to drive the drill back to the moon base to unload the items and have a hearty lunch. In the afternoon, they took the drill back to the alien spacecraft and continued to explore the next level.

The sixth floor of the alien spaceship is also a living floor, but the rooms on this floor are much more luxurious. It is obviously prepared for the rich or powerful. The room area is at least 100 square meters, and there is a second floor above. There are small courtyards in front and back. Sculptures are placed in it according to the preferences of the owner, and flowers and trees are planted. In the center of the sixth floor, there is actually a small park covering an area of ​​1,000 square meters, with flowers, trees, artificial lakes, bridges, and sports equipment for the Naga people to exercise. This is incredible on an interstellar spaceship where every inch of land is valuable. However, these plants have been unmaintained for a long time, and without water supply, they have long died. The artificial lake has also dried up long ago, leaving only a large pit and a little mud and dried alien fish.

On the road on the sixth floor, Qiao Ruida and his companions saw the aliens' means of transportation for the first time. It was a small single-person aircraft with pointed ends and a bulge in the middle. It looked a bit like a shuttle, and the cockpit in the middle could barely fit one person. It was probably using magnetic levitation technology or anti-gravity technology. The flight altitude was probably not high. The space inside the spacecraft was limited, so it couldn't fly high even if it wanted to. This type of aircraft seemed to be standard equipment for residents on this floor. Almost every household had one, either in the courtyard or on the side of the road.

"Oh my god, the living environment on this floor is so luxurious. I guess the people who can live here are either rich or important people."

"Why do I feel that this floor is much more open and bright, without the oppression of the fourth and fifth floors? What's the principle behind this?"

"That's easy. There are fewer rooms, the roads are wider, and the floor height is at least three meters higher. Don't you see that those rooms are all two-story buildings?"

"That's true. It seems that the Naga civilization has a serious class division. Even the residences on the escape spacecraft are divided into different levels."

“Whenever civilization develops to a certain stage, class differentiation and the widening gap between the rich and the poor are inevitable.”

"Don't talk about these nonsense, just find a room and start excavating. I can't wait any longer."

"That's right. The people who live on this floor are all wealthy people. Their electrical appliances and daily necessities are definitely more high-end and made of better materials. Perhaps more of them can be preserved."

"Then let's pick a few houses with the largest area and the most luxurious decoration. There's no need to go deep, just choose this first one. It's close to the artificial lake, and the front and back yards are much larger than other houses. It's obvious that it's the residence of a powerful person." Qiao Ruida and his two friends found a house facing the lake next to the small park as their excavation target. As expected of a rich man's residence, the room is much better protected. The door is an anti-theft door made of some unknown metal, and the windows are also protected with steel bars. However, Qiao Ruida and his friends brought a lot of demolition equipment, including angle grinders, electric drills, and acetylene cutters. They took turns to open a breakthrough in the window. The three jumped into the room from the first-floor window, and the first thing they saw was some strange things. Some looked like conchs, some looked like harps, but without strings, some metal pieces on the ground, and some electronic devices with unknown functions, neatly arranged. A metal bookshelf against the wall was filled with books and boxes of metal cards. Judging from the number, there were at least tens of thousands of pieces. There is also a device for reading metal cards. It is the size of a bedside table and has hundreds of control buttons and knobs. It looks quite complex and sophisticated.

"Are we entering a music lover's room? Are these strange things all Naga musical instruments?"

"Maybe they are not just music lovers, but also music professionals. Look at these electronic devices, these seemingly audio equipment, they are too professional and complicated, and they are obviously very expensive. Ordinary music lovers will not buy so many professional equipment."

"Wow, there are so many alien books and metal cards. We searched so many rooms on the fourth and fifth floors, but we didn't get as much as this time."

"Don't touch those books. Wait until the professional archaeological equipment is transported to the moon. These severely oxidized books may be salvaged."

"Look here, there are metal card slots on several devices. I wonder what these devices are used for?"

"I guess this is most likely a music studio, used to make accompaniments and record songs, which explains why there are so many musical instruments and electronic equipment here. The purpose of these devices is nothing more than some mixing consoles, pickups, mixers, metal card burning devices and so on."

"Should we move these electronic devices back? They are quite large. If we move them all away, we won't need to put anything else on the drill."

"Try turning them on and testing them. If they can be turned on and function properly, take them away. If they can't be turned on, forget about them. Take back all these small metal musical instruments, and all those hundreds of boxes of metal cards. I guess most of the music stored in them is Naga music. If those musicians heard the large amount of music of an interstellar civilization, they would definitely go crazy. Don't touch the books on Xiaoxin's bookshelf, and don't walk too fast when passing by, lest the wind damages the books."

So the three of them simply divided the work, Qiao Ruida tested the electronic equipment, Xie Duanyang collected musical instruments and packed them into boxes, and Zhou Xiaobo sorted out the metal cards. To be honest, Qiao Ruida admired the Naga people's technological level and craftsmanship. The electronic equipment they produced was so durable that even after thousands of years of time, a small number of them could still be turned on and used normally. This was simply a miracle. Qiao Ruida first checked the wireless power supply device in the room and found that its indicator light kept flashing and the power supply was normal. Then these electronic devices were turned on and tested one by one. The first four could not be turned on at all. The fifth one responded when it was turned on, and the indicator light came on, but then it emitted wisps of green smoke and was completely scrapped.

When testing the seventh device, which was the metal card reader with a lot of buttons and knobs on the front, there was finally a turnaround. The device turned on successfully, the indicator light came on, the display screen came on, and some Naga characters appeared on the screen. Qiao Ruida picked up a metal card from the bookshelf and inserted it into the card slot of the device. The next moment, moving music sounded from the conch-shaped speaker next to it. The multi-channel stereo sound was melodious and very beautiful. Including Qiao Ruida, the three people were attracted by the music, stopped what they were doing, and listened to the music quietly. It was not until five minutes later when the pure music ended that everyone came back to their senses.

"Oh my god, this is simply heavenly music. If this piece of music were to be put into the music world of our Earth, it would definitely be a classic that would be passed down through the ages."

"Are the Naga people's musical attainments really so high that any of their songs are as good as our human masterpieces?"

"Who knows? Judging from the information we have now, the history of the Naga people is definitely much longer than that of us humans. There are written records of at least tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Isn't it normal for a race with such a long history to produce some musical geniuses and create some popular music?"

"Then this time, we have discovered the music treasure house of the Naga civilization. There are tens of thousands of metal cards, and the music stored in them must be millions or even tens of millions. If every song is as good as this one, it's unimaginable."

"I can only say that music lovers on Earth are blessed. Not only can they listen to the music produced by humans on Earth, but they can also listen to the musical treasures accumulated by the Naga people over tens of thousands of years."

"Shh, the second piece of music is starting, listen carefully."

The second piece of music did not disappoint the three people either. It was just as beautiful and touching. In human society, there is a saying that music has no borders. It means that even if a song is made by a foreigner, you may not understand the lyrics, but you can still feel the beautiful melody and the rich emotions. This saying also applies to interstellar civilizations. Perhaps the ear structure of the Naga people is similar to that of the earth's human beings, and the sound frequencies they can hear are similar. The music they make sounds just as beautiful and moving to Qiao Ruida and the other two people, like the sound of immortals.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When the second piece of music reached the middle and high-pitched part, the antique speakers couldn't hold on first. The diaphragms broke, producing broken sounds, and then quickly spread to the other speakers. Soon, the diaphragms of all the speakers were broken, and the beautiful music was turned into noise.

"Stop, stop, stop. These speakers are broken. The sound is too harsh. If I keep playing them, I'm going to have psychological trauma."

Qiao Ruida casually pressed the stop button, shrugged, and said, "These audio equipment are old things produced thousands of years ago. It's good enough that they can make some sound. It's normal for the diaphragm to break and produce broken sound. Let's move it back to the moon base, repair it, and do some maintenance. Maybe we can use it for a few decades."

"With so many large speakers and bulky equipment, each weighing dozens of kilograms, it would be too difficult for us to transport them out by manpower." (End of this chapter)
