Chapter 1072 Contact

"Great, there's someone there!" Xu Jingyao waved vigorously towards the camera and then made a knocking motion.

The camera moved again, but after waiting for a long time, no one came to open the door.

"Is this a doorbell?" Xu Jingyao studied around the hatch, found a compartment with an openable metal cover, and pressed the green button a few times.

Still no response, except for the camera above the hatch moving a few more times.

"What's going on with the staff here? Are they stupid?" Xu Jingyao tried various methods but got no response, which made him quite depressed. Even if the people inside showed hostility, just ignore them. What does it mean?

"It seems we can only force our way in." Liu Gan reached out and pulled the outer handle of the hatch. They had been outside the hatch for more than ten minutes. The people inside should have discovered them long ago.

"Don't use brute force... If the camera can move, it means that the base's system can still operate normally. This hatch is the outer hatch of the isolation cabin. There should be an emergency manual opening method from the outside. Let me try it first. It won't work. Try to break in again." Xu Jingyao didn't want to destroy the Mars base, so he decided to do some research first.

When he said this, Liu Qian was not in a hurry and found a place to sit down by the hatch. He had long learned loneliness and patience in the real world, not to mention that he had just completed more than forty days of drifting in space. It doesn't matter if I wait a day longer here.

Xu Jingyao took apart the cover of the hatch control circuit bit by bit. After half an hour, he completely studied the hatch control circuit. After short-circuiting a certain circuit dozens of times, the circuit was finally completed. The shaped hatch made a muffled sound and then rotated ten degrees.

"It should be unlocked." Xu Jingyao showed a very excited expression. He reached out and pulled hard on the outer handle of the hatch, and sure enough, he opened the hatch outward.

Inside the hatch was a small isolation cabin. After the two people entered the hatch, they closed the outer hatch. The lights of the isolation cabin came on, and the quarantine system automatically started. After scanning the two people, they confirmed that there was nothing abnormal. , air was sprayed into the isolation cabin from all sides. After a few minutes, after the air pressure in the isolation cabin and the air pressure inside the cabin were equalized, the inner cabin door opened automatically.

"This kind of base is the simplest base. It is inaccessible. There is no encryption program specially set for foreign invasion. It can be entered in a very gentle way. It seems that all the systems inside are operating normally, but I don't know why no one came out to greet us. ." Xu Jingyao said a few words to Liu Qian while walking towards the inner cabin.

This cabin is the central cabin of the Mars base and is also the largest cabin. The other cabins are connected to this cabin through corridor bridges. If the Mars base has a main control room, it should be in the central cabin. One side of the base faces the mountain and the other side is a huge deep trench. On the top of the mountain, a dust storm-proof solar panel array is installed to provide power energy for the Mars base.

After entering the central cabin through the isolation cabin, the two came to a square cabin, which was also lit with lights. It looked like a multi-functional hall with some seats and tables, making it feel like home. , several circular hatches on the side bulkhead are closed, some leading to the corridor bridge, and some leading to other rooms in the central cabin.

"Is there anyone there?" Xu Jingyao took off his hood, tried to breathe, and then shouted to the surroundings.

There was still no response, but the camera in the corner of the multi-purpose hall moved again. After focusing on Xu Jingyao, it then locked on and observed Liu Gan.

"You couldn't hear me outside just now, but you should be able to hear me now, right? We came from Earth and have no ill intentions towards you. We just need some supplies here. I hope we can sit down and talk face to face. , instead of playing this game of moving the camera." Xu Jingyao walked to the camera in the corner and shouted a few more words to the camera.

After waiting for several minutes, there was still no movement.

"It can't be an unmanned base station, right? Everything is controlled by the main brain? By the way, why am I so stupid? Can't it be enough to scan and detect life forms?" Xu Jingyao muttered a few words to himself and then seemed to have thought of it. What? He took out the detector in his hand and scanned the surroundings for life forms.

"Go straight on the covered bridge on the left. After a dozen meters, turn left and then right. The satellite cabin over there shows a green dot representing a living body. It should be the staff of the base station. There is only one person..." Xu Jingyao After looking at the scan results, he told Liu Qian.

"Maybe he was scared after seeing us two strangers and didn't dare to contact us." Liu Qian analyzed it.

"Then let's go find him."

Xu Jingyao walked to the hatch on the left. The control circuit of the inner hatch was simpler than that of the outer hatch. Within a few minutes, Xu Jingyao opened the hatch and then led Liu Qian into the hatch.

After entering the hatch, the lights in the corridor automatically turned on. There was no one inside. After walking for more than ten meters, they turned left. After seven or eight meters, they turned right. They went straight. They came to another closed hatch. .

"There won't be a female staff member inside, right? Only women can be so timid, especially when they see us two grown men suddenly appearing here, so they don't dare to open the door or take the initiative to contact us." Xu Jingyao seemed to be thinking I speculated about what happened.

"It's possible." Liu Qian nodded, so that Xu Jingyao would not be bored talking alone.

"Little rabbit, please open the door. The two uncles outside the door have no ill intentions and will not eat you." Xu Jingyao became inexplicably excited after thinking about the woman, humming a little tune while dismantling the hatch. control lines.

After a few minutes, the hatch was successfully opened.

This is a small cabin with only about 20 square meters. After opening the cabin door, you can see clearly inside. There is a bed and a table inside. There is a computer terminal on the table. Judging from the hangings on the bedside table in the cabin, it is indeed very large. Feminine, it seems that Xu Jingyao's guess is good, the owner of the cabin is a female staff member.

"Where are the people? Hiding elsewhere? Running so fast? We said there is no hostility, so we shouldn't be so scared, right? And with these cabins, how long can we hide?" Xu Jingyao looked around in the cabin and was a little confused. expression.

The detector can only scan once every few minutes. What it scans is a static picture and cannot continuously display the surrounding situation. Therefore, when Xu Jingyao was dismantling the hatch from the central cabin to the corridor bridge just now, the people inside were indeed Maybe use that time to run to another cabin.
