Chapter 240 Killing an Alien
Wei Feng agreed with Ye Luo's proposal... so a robot equipped with various scanning perspective equipment came over and began to analyze the alien device. But soon, Ye Luo said: "Captain, this equipment uses some anti-perspective materials, and our perspective equipment cannot scan its internal structure."
This conclusion was probably within Wei Feng's expectations, so Wei Feng said: "Can you analyze which materials it is made of?"
Ye Luo paused for a moment, and then he said the names of several materials one after another. Although Wei Feng is not an expert in materials science, he still has superficial knowledge of materials science. He was very surprised when he heard the names of these materials that Ye Luo said: "Ye Luo, are you talking about the materials used to make this alien device... all of our human civilizations have the ability to build?"
"Yes..." Ye Luo said, "For example, this alien device uses special titanium alloy steel here. It has sufficient hardness and toughness and can withstand extremely low temperatures in the universe. It is essentially different from the shell material of our Xinghai spacecraft. The only difference is that the performance of this titanium alloy steel is better than the materials we use, one or two levels higher than our materials, but... this is still within our cognitive range, and we can analyze it without any obstacles and understand it."
This surprised Wei Feng even more. Wei Feng originally believed that an ancient civilization that existed from a distant alien galaxy to the solar system and fought a huge war, should be much more advanced than human civilization, but Ye Luo concluded that although its technological level is higher than that of humans, it is limited.
Wei Feng patted his head. Then he said, "From materials science, is its technological level on the same level as the fragment we obtained before? Can we be sure that these two are from the hands of the same civilization?"
Ye Luo replied: "The technological content belongs to the same level. I am 80% sure that this alien device and the fragment we obtained before were from the same civilization."
"Since that's the case...then the problem that troubled us before will appear again." Wei Feng murmured, "How did a civilization that is only limited in technology than us come to the solar system across the long interstellar space-time?"
Wei Feng thought about this question for a while and then gave up thinking. Because before obtaining enough information, Wei Feng obviously could not get a real answer.
Wei Feng once again turned his attention to this alien device. After learning that the technological content of this alien device is not much higher than that of humans and still belongs to the scope that human civilization can understand and analyze, Wei Feng discovered many things.
The more than 20 years of training received before departure gave Wei Feng a very deep understanding of mechanical structure. Under this situation, Wei Feng saw many familiar things from this alien device. For example, the black little thing installed under a large component looks like a converter, while the larger component on it looks like a battery, and that part looks like a temperature control device...
After getting these understandings, Wei Feng made a somewhat bold decision.
"I plan to disassemble it as I understand it, completely disassemble it to analyze the function of each component that makes it and analyze its working mechanism." Wei Feng said, "Of course, in this process, you need to leave enough video recordings to ensure that I can reverse the removal process. Let us assemble it when we need it."
"Okay captain, please rest assured about this." Ye Luo replied immediately.
So Wei Feng first observed carefully, then took a tool, and carefully removed a piece of pipe. The robot pushing the cart model next to him immediately stepped forward, and Wei Feng put the piece of pipe on it and ordered: "First perform some materials and usage analysis on it, and package it after it is finished, and save it number."
After removing the pipe, Wei Feng's eyes were aimed at the thing that was suspected to be the converter and planned to remove it too. However, he encountered some difficulties when dismantling this thing. Wei Feng found that if he did not remove another device first, the thing that was suspected to be the converter could not be removed. So Wei Feng changed the target again, removed the other thing first, and saved it numbered.
During the disassembly process, Weifeng found that the splicing method used by this equipment did not seem to be very different from that of human civilization. Some places also use physical fixing methods, such as various types of screws, and some are welding, and various snaps. Weifeng also determined a disassembly principle, that is, it will be disassembled only if it is determined that it has the ability to restore, otherwise it will be preserved.
Wei Feng always had a very wonderful feeling in his heart. Although rationally, Wei Feng kept telling himself that he was facing an unknown device made of an unknown civilization, which may contain many things that human civilization had never been exposed to or understood, but in actual work, Wei Feng always had a feeling that it was like when he was in an orphanage when he was a child, secretly dismantling the director's projector.
The similarity between these two situations is that although Wei Feng does not understand the use of each component and its working mechanism, Wei Feng knows that these things are all understandable by himself. They are not mysterious and super-civilized creatures that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years higher than human civilization.
The disassembly work has been continuing, and as the work deepens, Wei Feng has made more discoveries. Vujiu parts are constantly being disassembled, such as something suspected of signal reception and transmission, something suspected of data storage, something suspected of a central processing unit...
The most important thing is this hibernating compartment. Yes, it is the hibernating compartment where Weifeng has been sleeping for hundreds of years. Its size is very different from the hibernating compartment used by Weifeng. The hibernating compartment used by Weifeng is about two meters long and 70 centimeters wide. The hibernating compartment here, which is suspected to be a hibernating compartment, is only less than one meter five meters long and less than fifty centimeters wide.
It's like a mini version of the hibernation cabin used by Weifeng.
Weifeng came to this conclusion through many other components installed around the equipment. Because there are many familiar things around it, such as this, it seems to be a thermostat, another seems to be a nutrient solution circulation purification device, and another seems to be a physiological state monitoring device.
After discovering the closed and sealed device, suspected to be a hibernation compartment, Wei Feng stopped his dismantling work. Originally, Wei Feng thought it was just a self-operated device, but now... is there alien life... inside it?
The most important point is that when I just discovered it more than two hundred years ago, the equipment was still running and even had the ability to actively send signals. So is this hibernation cabin also running? If it was running, it separated the nut and screw body parts and caused it to lose its energy supply and stop operating, and now it is dismantling it again. Does this mean... it is possible that I accidentally killed an alien in hibernation state?!
Although this device is estimated to be hundreds of millions of years old, who can guarantee that the hibernation compartment they manufacture cannot allow them to hibernate for hundreds of millions of years when technology exceeds human civilization?
This inference made Wei Feng feel a little uneasy. Wei Feng carefully observed the equipment again, and felt even more wandering in his heart. Because the more Wei Feng observed, the more he felt that the equipment looked like a hibernation cabin.
"Actually you don't have to be confused about this." Ye Luo said, "Is it a hibernating device, and whether there are any alien life inside that is in a hibernating state... as long as we turn it on, we can tell."
"But..." Wei Feng said hesitantly, "I have observed that this device is sealed internally and has lost its energy supply and we cannot open it. If it is forced to open it, it may damage its structure."
Ye Luo said: "You don't have to worry about this. Just like our hibernation cabin, it can be opened from the inside and disassembled from the outside through instructions, as long as you are careful not to damage its structure, it can be restored even if it is disassembled."
Wei Feng thought for a while and finally made up his mind. After another careful observation and several key connection points were determined based on Ye Luo's suggestion, Wei Feng finally extended the tool to it.
It took Weifeng two hours to open the equipment. If Weifeng's work was not wrong, at this moment, just use a lifting robot to open the hibernation hatch cover and Weifeng can see its internal structure.
The lifting robot started working, and the cover slowly left the equipment. After the cover completely left, Wei Feng immediately saw its internal structure. After just one look, Wei Feng's face changed immediately, and his body fell backwards uncontrollably, and even squatted on the ground.
It took a few minutes for Wei Feng to recover, and the expression on his face turned into a helpless bitter smile.
