Super technology leader

"The alien camp is just ahead."

About a thousand meters from the alien camp, the convoy stopped. There happened to be a rock here, allowing Tang Chao and the others to observe.

Of course, the others were seriously observing according to the plan, while Tang Chao was just cooperating with them in their act.

The closer they got to the alien camp, the more Tang Chao immersed himself in the drama.

They hid behind the rock and used the tactical scopes on their powered armor to clearly see the alien camp, even from a thousand meters away.

At a thousand meters, they should have been able to see the aliens' every move, and the aliens should have noticed them as well. However, the aliens on the other side didn't seem to notice them and were still doing their own thing.

Cleaning solar panels.

During the time that humans were preparing to land on Mars, the aliens hadn't been idle either. They first stole the American Mars rover, then the Pathfinder's large Mars rover and large helicopter. Later, they even dismantled the landing equipment that carried both and transported it back to their camp.

Although the main purpose of the landing equipment was to 'deliver goods,' it didn't mean it was useless after unloading. On the contrary, it still had many uses.

For example, it carried a sampling mission that time, with a small solid-fuel rocket on top that could take samples into orbit, as well as other miscellaneous functions. These functions all required electricity, so it deployed two large solar panel arrays.

Later, it was dismantled by the aliens, and the solar panels naturally became alien spoils of war. They used the fragments to repair their spaceship and placed the solar panels outside to bask in the sun and provide electricity.

Because it wasn't a specially designed ground-based solar array, dust removal required manual labor.

At this moment, one alien was using a gas cylinder to clean the solar panels, while the other three had been searching for a while without finding anything, probably inside their dilapidated spaceship.

"Their vigilance... is a bit low."

While the others were still observing, Tang Chao and the deputy captain retreated behind the rock to discuss the next step.

Seeing the aliens in this situation was indeed a bit beyond the deputy captain's previous expectations. The information seemed to be a bit off.

"Captain, the situation on the other side is a bit off, and it's different from what we expected. What do we do next?"

"What do we do? We improvise, of course."

Tang Chao opened the helmet's protective armor, revealing a transparent mask, so that the deputy captain could see his serious expression. "But our main priority is still to send the information and let them first understand some information about humans. Let's also see their reaction, so let's do as planned before and release the drone."

Seeing Tang Chao's actions, the deputy captain also opened the helmet's protective armor and nodded seriously after hearing the order. "Understood!"

Four combat personnel were on guard, and after the deputy captain replaced a battery for a drone, he launched it towards the alien camp.

This drone had a display screen in the front that could display some information. It was the vanguard for this remote docking.

In a straight line of one thousand meters, the drone quickly flew over. The alien who was working heard a strange sound and looked up at the sky, immediately seeing the drone in the sky.

Tang Chao and the others saw this scene through the camera on the drone, and then saw the alien drop the gas cylinder and run into the dilapidated spaceship.

This scene stunned everyone.

"The aliens are scared?"

"It looks... like it."

"Alright, focus your attention and pay attention to the situation on the other side," Tang Chao said.

After a while, the alien camp was still quiet, which made everyone a little bolder.

"Let's move forward a little more."

If the other side didn't move, then the convoy had to move, otherwise, a stalemate would be very unfavorable for the convoy. After all, the supplies carried by the vehicles and the oxygen carried by the powered armor were limited, and they couldn't fight a prolonged war with the aliens staying in their 'base'.

The convoy started again, and the dust wasn't as billowing this time because they were closer, so they drove slower.

As the distance got closer and closer, the drone circled above the alien camp, but the aliens still didn't react.

This was strange, it was different from the previous contact, what went wrong?

Until the convoy intermittently drove to the "entrance" of the alien camp, the aliens still didn't move.

The alien camp was quiet, with only a few gusts of wind.

Tang Chao and the others were stunned on the spot, and the many viewers on Earth were stunned in front of the screen.

What about the aliens being violent and not communicating?

What about the aliens being evil and inhuman?

While they were wondering, the drama that people liked to watch came.

The hatch of the dilapidated spaceship suddenly opened, and four "powered armors" that were one size larger than the powered protective suits came out with a "clunk, clunk" sound. They were also green.

It's just that the shape modules were more "broken", and the airtightness didn't seem to be very good.

"???"

Whether it was the people on Earth or the astronauts in the alien base, they were stunned again.

They knew the size of the aliens, which was less than one meter even with the spacesuit, but now these big guys were obviously two meters tall.

What the hell was this?

Could it be that they could transform like the Hulk?

Or were they actually Cybertronians?

Everyone could be stunned, including the four combat personnel, but Tang Chao couldn't be stunned, after all, he was the... director.

Fortunately, this was acting. If he were really contacting an unfamiliar alien civilization, he would never bring this kind of half-baked "super soldier", but would bring real soldiers.

Even if they weren't battle-hardened, they had to be interstellar warriors who had been strictly trained according to the standards of the space age.

"Pay attention to vigilance, but don't fire first!"

"Lower the drone and let them notice the flat panel display on the drone!"

"Yes."

They didn't have experience, but fortunately, they were very obedient and immediately did as Tang Chao ordered.

Unlike the plots in some science fiction movies, where the supporting characters were stunned by the scene in front of them, or stood still, or screamed in fear, and then kept causing trouble for the protagonist.

This time, I don't know what was going on. Perhaps it was because of the "enlargement", the four aliens didn't immediately shoot down the drone that was lowering its altitude, but actually watched the pictures displayed on the screen.

The pictures weren't anything else, but some flowers, plants, trees, natural scenery, fields, rivers, canals, city streets, automatic machinery, crowds, and other pictures. It was every corner of human society, forming a sharp contrast with the desolate scene on Mars.

These things really made the four aliens watch, and they didn't reveal the slightest intention to attack.

The astronauts were on guard while communicating on the internal channel.

"It's a good sign, they didn't even attack the drone."

"Yeah, the last time the drone helicopter made a sound, it was shot down, but this time they didn't do anything."

"Do you think our last contact method was wrong, so that's why that situation happened? Is this time the correct contact method?"

"I think so, they are stranded on an alien planet and their spaceship is also scrapped. They may have an overreaction to certain behaviors, which is also for self-protection. Look at how calm they are now, maybe it's because they also put on powered armor."

"This thing... is it considered a mecha for them? Sure enough, hard armor can embolden cowards."

"Quiet, they're reacting."

The short film was coming to an end, and the picture that appeared was the astronauts wearing green powered armor. They were holding electromagnetic rifles and shooting at walls, rocks, trees, and vehicles, and the destructive power was quite considerable.

This scene made the aliens suddenly take a step back, perhaps because they were a little unaccustomed to the sudden transition from the comfortable civilized scene to the violent scene.

Seeing this action, Tang Chao knew that the time was right, so he beckoned everyone to come forward, but with their guns facing outwards, not towards the aliens.

Seeing them coming over, and seeing that the weapons they saw in the picture weren't pointed at them, the aliens didn't rage like they did during the last unmanned contact, but calmly took a few steps forward.

The first real meeting between humans and aliens was now beginning.
