Half an hour later, the reply from the mine patrol arrived.

【That’s it! I'm really sorry. As for what you said about dismantling the confusing nanorobot device, I'm afraid there is no way to do it, because without this confusion system, it is actually completed through the cooperation of the overall equipment of the base. However, the other equipment you mentioned can be disassembled for you. I understand your feelings of needing to contribute to the main civilization. I will try my best to help you dismantle some equipment that is easy to disassemble and does not affect the operation of the confusing program. 】

[Just send more transport robots down when the time comes. I only have a few smart robots used for daily base maintenance. You have to do the transportation yourself. 】

[As for the nanorobot program loopholes you mentioned, to be honest, I don’t know. But I think the confusion system program used in the base should have some relevant clues. If you need it, I will copy this program. Come out and hand it over to you for study after I am saved.

Oh, I still want to remind you that nanorobot consciousness is very dangerous. After my calculations, the remaining energy in my base is only enough to run the confusion program for eighteen hours. I hope you can hurry up. 】

The mine patrol was as talkative as ever, and he even started to think about humans.

"Very good, we have no problem, then we will see you in three days, hope everything goes well." This is the human reply.

[I will definitely do it, kind-hearted human expedition team, see you in three days! 】

After the long phone call ended, Yue Yuan connected to the think tank's communication: "Do you see any problems?"

"Commander Yue/Commander, there is nothing unusual about the behavior of the Moks. Before being rescued, it is human nature to hold some chips in your hands. There is nothing to be picky about." A representative replied, "However, if the time comes, If we really get that program, we must not take it back to Hope for research, and we must not connect it to the Internet."

Yue Yuan looked at the screen and nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Minister Mann, check the hydrogen bomb network one last time, and the landing ship system will also perform a self-check. In three days, the landing operation will be carried out on time according to the agreed time."

"Minister Zhu, within three days, comrades from the Security Department will cooperate with the Propaganda Department to prepare the people to set sail at any time."

"Understood!" X2

In the atrium of the bridge of the Hope, Man Yuemei and Zhu Pite, who were sitting on the seats on both sides of Yue Yuan's seat, said in unison.

Three days later.

After the last orbit change, one transport ship and eight transport boats changed from far-Earth orbit to low-Earth orbit, and then made final adjustments to their landing attitude based on the position coordinates provided by the mine patrol.

After arriving at the designated orbital point, the nine transport ships left their original orbit, drew an arc in the sky of the planet Ross 154-4, and slowly fell.

Since the atmosphere of the Ross 154-4 planet is almost negligible, the landing ship does not need to consider the problem of frictional heat generation at all.

During the landing phase, the vector engine steadily stabilizes the ship's attitude, while the propeller located at the tail of the propeller is now used as a reverse thrust engine.

"Report, satellite data shows that the landing ship has passed the area where the 'Silver Mist' is located, and the 'Silver Mist' has no reaction."

"Okay, it seems that the mine patrol has started the confusion process."

The landing site given by the mining patrol was a place about a hundred kilometers away from the area covered by silver mist, and the ground was fairly flat.

On the side of the flat ground, there is a cave that is much larger than the previous mines. From the appearance, this cave is similar to the previous exploration sample caves.

The top of this cave is blocked by a cliff-like geological structure that stretches out obliquely. From a satellite perspective, you cannot tell that there is a large cave here. In fact, not to mention looking down from the satellite, even on the ground, it is difficult to find that there is a cave here.

Therefore, this cave is a cave that has not been detected by humans before.

As the ship landed, the appearance of the cave was turned into an electrical signal by the transport ship's communication system, and then sent to the Hope.

However, due to the distance between the Hope and the planet Ross 154-4, the picture seen by the people on the Hope was actually the picture from seventeen minutes ago.

In other words, in fact, at this point in time, the picture seen by the Hope is actually a picture of nine ships still in the process of landing.

The landing time had been agreed upon, and the human calculations were very accurate.

So in fact, there was no need for humans to notify the Mokians again, but out of politeness, Hope still found the right time and sent the message to the mining area patrollers at the moment the ship landed.

"Mr. Shupo, our ship has arrived at the designated location. Please come out quickly. Our intelligent robot will also enter the cave leading to your base and start carrying equipment." This is a seventeenth Message sent from the Hope neutrino communications minutes ago.

At this time, the bridge of the Hope also sounded the language announcements of each staff member.

"Commander, the signal monitoring of the transport ship is all normal, and the satellite signal relay station is continuously monitoring."

"No triggering conditions for the hydrogen bomb have been detected so far, and the landing operations are all normal."

"The optical satellite has detected no signs of 'silver haze' activity, everything is normal!"

Listening to the normal reports one after another, Yue Yuan did not give any instructions. He just calmly watched the images of nine landing ships displayed on the big screen.

The picture was from seventeen minutes ago, and the various monitoring signals were naturally from seventeen minutes ago.

If something really happened now, the Hope would actually have to wait seventeen minutes to see it. Naturally, all the conditions of the landing ship can only be operated by the shipboard AI according to the programs written by humans.

This kind of remote operation delay is currently unsolvable by humans.

Not only humans, but according to the information obtained from the patrolmen in the Mok Star mining area, even the third-level civilization has no way to solve this problem. Level one, level two, and level three civilizations are all aerospace-level civilizations, which do not have super-light communication technology. As for whether the fourth-level civilization has faster-than-light communication, the Moks don't know, because they are only a third-level civilization.

Of course humans don’t know either. Human beings currently only know that quantum entanglement cannot enable faster-than-light communication.

Time passed by minute by minute.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes.

Yue Yuan waited quietly.

Based on the current relative position of the two stars, in just two minutes, he would be able to see the situation of the landing ship seventeen minutes ago.

Of course, the pictures seen on the Hope are still coherent. It does not mean that the landing craft flashes from a certain position to a certain position all at once, it is just a picture of the past.

The last two minutes passed.

At this moment, from the perspective of the Hope, the transport ship had just landed on the ground, but in fact, the landing craft had landed seventeen minutes ago.

Yue Yuan returned to his seat and continued to stare at the big screen.

He saw that the transport ship was parked steadily on the ground waiting for the mining patrols to board the ship, while the other eight transport ships opened the hatches according to the established procedures, released the ground transport robots, and began to move towards the cave. go.

It was pitch dark inside the cave, and the transport robot with obstacle avoidance function slowly moved downward while scanning the surrounding cave environment.
