It is difficult for aliens to learn the language of the collectors, because it is not easy to learn a language, and the collectors do not have the technology to help the aliens speed up their learning.
However, the reverse is much simpler. Collectors have supercomputing to decipher the language. The larger the amount of text, the lower the difficulty of deciphering. With a living text like aliens, it is almost impossible to decipher.
The two sides will soon be able to communicate normally.
"What's your name? What is the race? Where does it come from?"
After being able to communicate smoothly, the collectors gave priority to these three questions, and the aliens were also cooperative and answered the collectors' questions truthfully without hesitation.
"Connor, who belongs to the race 'Luo people', comes from the six planets of the Radiant System."
"How long have you been on that planet?"
"Eleven fee rings."
The alien who claimed to be Connor still answered the collector's questions very cooperatively, without any sense of avoidance.
"Why did you go to the black hole companion?"
"I was assigned a colonial mission by the government to colonize that planet."
Speaking of this, Connor, who had no emotion just now, had emotional ups and downs in his words, and he added resentfully.
"Those bastards only consider their achievements, win more voice from the people, deliberately distort some data and information of the detector, and coax fools like me to die on that planet."
"Coloniing? Can you complete the reproductive behavior by relying on you as an individual?
The collectors were not surprised by this answer. This is what they guessed earlier, but one thing is that they are still very confused, because since they are colonized, there is no reason for the aliens who go to alien colonization. The alien intelligent race that claims to be Luo people is a sexual reproductive biological individual. They need heterosexual motherhood. Enough to reproduce.
And considering the diversity of genes, in order to avoid genetic collapse, a sufficient number of male and female individuals need to go to alien stars.
Regarding this problem, the collectors have various speculations, among which the majority of the collectors agree that these Luo people have been killed. At present, this Luo people are the only survivor, which is very likely. After all, there is a terrible natural phenomenon such as the Mach tsunami on that planet.
However, the fact is a little different from what the collectors think.
"My civilization has developed artificial uterus technology, and the population can be conceived through machines."
Trans-star colonization is not easy, because it takes a higher speed to maintain a large-scale space-span light-grade, and a higher speed requires more energy. After all, the possible output is limited, so in the end, the smaller the mass of the object traveling across the star, the better, because in the same capacity In the case of quantity, small mass means small energy consumption, which can achieve a higher speed with relatively small consumption, and it can also easily complete the deceleration.
The larger the volume, the greater the probability of being hit by meteorites in the open zone between the stars, and the lower the overall strength.
For various reasons, the trend of creation in the navigation of transstellar systems is that the smaller the mass, the better, the smaller the volume, and the higher the strength, the better.
In order to reduce the mass and volume, the number of passengers of the spacecraft also needs to be added. After the artificial uterus technology is developed, the colonial spacecraft needs to carry a gene pool, an artificial uterus device, and an operator. There is no need to bear a large number of human loads. After these crew members are deleted, a large number of The life-sisting area can also be deleted. The hibernation cabin only needs one, such as entertainment facilities. The flying ship needs to meet the needs of a person, not to meet a group of people.
As for the ethical and moral issues caused by the artificial uterus, Are these problems more important than the expansion of civilization? It doesn't matter.
The collectors quickly figured out the cause and effect. The situation of these Luo people was very similar to the empire's seed plan, but the empire did not unlock the artificial uterus technology, but directly let the female occupants undertake the population reproduction work.
After the question was answered, the collectors continued to ask.
"How did you survive such a harsh surface environment? We want to know the details.
After being questioned by the collector, Connor fell into his memories on the black hole companion star and slowly described his survival process.
"When my spacecraft just landed on the companion star, it was unlucky and soon suffered the destruction of the roar of the planet Shanghai. Fortunately, although the government bastards had no conscience, they at least did enough to make a good look. The spacecraft was strong enough to withstand the first wave of tsunami."
"But this is also the limit. The spacecraft absolutely can't resist the second wave. After quickly analyzing the situation, I used the construction machinery in the spacecraft to dig the ground. Before the next tsunami comes, let the spacecraft lower than the ground, and then cover it with a simple smelting metal plate to cover the top to survive the subsequent tsunami. Later, I continued to deepen the excavation of the strata and established a simple underground survival station.
It is not difficult to avoid the Mach tsunami. Collectors who land on the planet also do it in a similar way. As long as they are below the ground, the power of the Mach tsunami will be much weakened.
However, this method also leads to another question, which the collectors asked.
"High above the ground will be eroded by the tsunami. Why do you build large metal buildings higher than the ground?"
Connor was slightly stunned and answered the questions of the collectors. "That's the radar antenna. I need to send a distress signal to my civilization and let them save me."
The antenna cannot be below the ground, which will affect the transmission and reception of the signal. The distance is far away. After such a round of signal weakening, it is even more impossible to send the distress signal to the home star, so Connor must make the antenna higher than the ground, but there is a Mach tsunami on the ground, and the tsunami will inevitably be destroyed. Antenna.
So what should I do?
Connor came up with a good way to enlarge the antenna and build a large and sturdy metal structure. Among various geometric designs, he chose the geometric model of the four-edged platform as the template of the antenna.
The answer that the four-edged platform is the antenna surprised the collectors. This is what they did not expect. The main reason is the error of empiricism. Their subjective subconsciously determined that the antenna is a very thin and long metal body, so they did not connect the four-edged platform with the antenna from the beginning.
"Since you have developed under the planet, why not increase the population? That should be able to build a colony."
