Changkong Fighter

Chapter 217 Alien Key
Near the military base, in a laboratory with the same heavy security as the one where Rupa was imprisoned.

The Type 2 that Rupa had piloted was placed on the test bench, and a researcher wearing protective clothing went into the alien lifeboat to study the internal structure.

The lights illuminated the interior of the lifeboat, and the researcher's first feeling was as if he had entered a light-polluted area. The light refracted inside, and the colorful light dazzled his eyes. In the very center of the control panel, there was a gap.

There seemed to be something stuck on it once, but now it's gone.

External researchers used cameras to observe the interior of the lifeboat, and through the layout, they tried to understand how alien civilizations controlled this machine. However, without a joystick inside, how did they control the lifeboat? This question has always puzzled researchers.

The energy system inside the life capsule also seemed to have self-destructed. No matter how the researchers tested it, it could not be lit up at all.

[See you again, Alien Ace]

Liu Jun looked at the translation output from the translator, adjusted his microphone, took the screen from the researcher, and said to Lupa, "It seems like you're doing well here?"

Rupa looked at the colors on the screen, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. How could such inferior color imitation compare to their innate full-color biological sensors?

[Indeed, indeed, not bad.]

Each person exchanged a few simple greetings with an octopus, and the experts on the side immediately began to take notes with excitement on their faces. They had always wanted to make the alien octopus speak, and now someone finally did it.

The more we talk, the more data the computer can obtain, making it easier to decipher the language of alien civilizations.

Lupa looked at Liu Jun, then turned to the symbol on his other hand, with disdain in his eyes.

【It's for you?】

"No, found it in the wreckage."

This symbol was recovered from the wreckage of a Type 2 shot down by Liu Jun.

Lupa swung his tentacles. Although he didn't understand the alien octopus's body language, a strong sense of disdain filled the air. Lupa was very disdainful of the octopus brother he shot down.

After saying this, Lupa stopped "talking". He Xiaoxi on the side looked at Liu Jun. Liu Jun asked, which was also what the entire senior management wanted to know:

"Why did you come to our home planet?"

After hearing what Liu Jun said, Lupa fell silent. Time passed by minute by minute. He Xiaoxi on the side glanced at the technician with a question.

"The translator is working fine."

Since the translator was working properly and the message was translated, the problem was with Rupa, as it didn't want to answer.

Two minutes passed and Lupa remained silent. Just when He Xiaoxi was about to remind Liu Jun to ask something, he suddenly asked, "Can we be friends?"

Liu Jun's question made He Xiaoxi's eyes light up. This was a very good question. If they could be friends, it meant they could talk. If they couldn't even be friends, then the problem was serious. The prerequisite was that both parties had a similar understanding of friends, otherwise it would be troublesome if "friends and delicious food" appeared.

[Ace, you are trying to obtain information]

Lupa looked at Liu Jun and said as his body color changed.

Liu Jun was not surprised that Lupa saw through him. The other party also had intelligence, and it was impossible for him to be easily tricked into revealing information, unless it was a rigid AI.

"Can we talk?"

[No] Lupa, the color only changed once, rejected Liu Jun's request. The alien civilization did not want to communicate with humans.

"What is this?" Liu Jun stretched out the symbol in his hand and asked, "Spoils of war?"

【Permissions】

Squidward did give a response to the symbol, but he didn't say more.

This is reasonable. The other party is also an intelligent creature. Perhaps because Liu Jun shot it down, it recognized him and told him more information. But when it comes to the information about its own civilization, how could it answer every question?
Those who can do this are either anti-human elements or traitors.

Authorization? Liu Jun looked at the symbol floating in his palm. Should it be some kind of secret key? Like the USB drive you insert when activating a device.

The information was still vague and Liu Jun didn't understand it, but experts might be able to analyze the message in Lupa's words through reasoning.

"what's it for?"

[Control the machine with the secret key I give you]

After saying this, Lupa glanced at the human experts outside the tempered glass, and finally turned his gaze to Liu Jun, and his body turned into a lump again.

Lupa issued an "eviction order" and Liu Jun looked at He Xiaoxi who was standing beside him.

"Let's stop here for today."

When interrogating prisoners, especially alien prisoners, haste makes waste, and the information translated by the translator is only approximate. Detailed reasoning and correction are needed afterwards to ensure the credibility of the information. The fact that Rupa can say so much is already a great achievement for them.

"Well, see you next time."

Lupakazilan looked at Liu Jun with her big eyes, finally glanced at the symbol, and fell silent, but her tentacles were still making unconscious little movements, indicating that she was in a good mood.

Liu Jun followed He Xiaoxi out of the laboratory. He could feel that Lupa's eyes were always on him. He turned around and stood outside the door to look at Lupa until the door of the laboratory was closed, blocking their gazes.

"Thank you for your help, Comrade Changkong. Your room has been arranged. I have something else to do. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

After saying that, He Xiaoxi smiled apologetically at Liu Jun and left quickly. She still had to report some situations to her superiors.

Liu Jun looked at the 1-meter-tall man left beside him and walked towards the arranged residence. He kept thinking about his conversation with Rupa. Based on his understanding of the octopus brothers, they were really fearless when fighting.

On the other side, He Xiaoxi walked quickly into an office with a video message and symbols. The bodyguard stood in front of the office, looking vigilantly at every researcher passing by.

I opened the laptop and connected to the internal quantum encryption communication, and Teacher Zhou's face appeared on the screen.

"Teacher, Rupa has spoken, but there is very little information."

He Xiaoxi recounted the entire process of contact in detail.
"Oh? That symbol is actually some kind of secret key."

So far, there are only two copies of that symbol in the hands of Dongda, one is a trophy given by Lupa, and the other is recovered from the wreckage of the downed Type 2.

The two symbols appear to be made of the same material from the outside, but their shapes are different. Lupa's is more complicated. This shows that in the alien social structure, Lupa's status is higher than that of other octopuses.

"Teacher, should we try it?"
