Chapter 971: This Contact

Distant messages keep coming.

The research team on Yue Ya Dao has always had a question.

How can the signal be transmitted over a distance of several light‑years at faster‑than‑light speed to achieve real‑time communication?

It is very likely that the Witch Tribe has placed a signal communicator in the Solar System, serving as a relay point.

And this relay point is constantly moving.

Previously, the communication process was extremely brief, making it impossible to track this point.

But now it's different.

After Tai Yin received the reply from Yue Ya Dao, it continuously sent messages.

Frequent communication finally allowed Yue Ya Dao to locate the signal relay point.

It turned out to be near Tàiyáng.

It is an instrument disguised as a space meteorite.

Operating near Tàiyáng, it can continuously obtain energy from Tàiyáng, keeping the relay point always on standby.

The relay point also has micro‑robots that, under the control of the intelligent program, can instantly repair any problems.

After finding this relay point, of course we cannot destroy it now.

The situation on the Taiwu Ship is still unclear!

The signal communications room has already set the security level to the highest.

Lin Qiuxia stays in the communications room all day, contacting Tai Yin.

At first they were just testing each other, then gradually they chatted about other topics.

Tai Yin: We've chatted this long, and I still don't know your name!

Lin Qiuxia: My name is Lin Qiuxia, Tai Yin older sister.

Tai Yin: You call me older sister; how old are you?

Lin Qiuxia: Three years old.

Tai Yin: My age is ten thousand times yours.

Lin Qiuxia: Here we judge by appearance, not age; even if you were a hundred thousand years old, if you look young and beautiful, you're still an older sister—we certainly wouldn't call you auntie!

Lin Qiuxia: Of course, if you allow it, we can still call you that!

Tai Yin: The term 'auntie' sounds nicer.

Lin Qiuxia: Auntie, hello!

Tai Yin: How many clanspeople do you have at home, and what are your relations like?

Lin Qiuxia: Over a hundred, and our relationships are all good.

Tai Yin: You're a smart child; you must have learned a lot of knowledge, right?

Lin Qiuxia: Of course!

Tai Yin: The poem you sent last time was great; do you have more?

Lin Qiuxia: Of course there is, but if you want to know, you have to offer something in exchange.

Tai Yin: That request is quite reasonable.

Lin Qiuxia: I want to know what you look like, Auntie.

Tai Yin: ……Alright.

Moments later, a photo was transmitted over.

The high‑definition printer printed out the photo.

When Lin Qiuxia saw the beautiful woman in the photo, her eyes lit up.

She had smooth, long hair, an angelic face, and bright, shining eyes.

Her clothing was similar to that of Yin Mei Yi Niang, and her figure was excellent!

Indeed, calling her auntie is quite fitting, because she is so beautiful that she truly suits the role of an auntie.

I just don't know her personality; if she's too fierce, then forget it.

Soon Lin Qiuxia furrowed her brows.

She originally wanted to learn other information from the photo's background.

But the photo's background had been processed with blur.

Nevertheless, one can roughly tell it was taken inside a spacecraft's cockpit.

Although the image is blurry, many indicator lights are on, and it looks very much like the cockpit of a spacecraft designed by Deweis.

After putting the photo down, Tai Yin sent another message: 'Can I have a new poem now?'

Lin Qiuxia: Okay!

Next, Lin Qiuxia sent Bai Juyi's 'Song of Everlasting Regret' to Tai Yin.

Lin Qiuxia remembers this poem deeply, because before Song Jiaren was enhanced, she used to recite it.

Why write something so long!

Song Jiaren complained more than once.

Now, Song Jiaren has a deep connection with the beautiful woman described in this poem.

So Lin Qiuxia immediately typed out this poem.

After sending it, at least half an hour later Tai Yin replied: 'What beautiful wording!'

Lin Qiuxia: Of course, this is a rare masterpiece among poems!

Tai Yin: You humans are truly great.

Lin Qiuxia: To be precise, it's our ancients who were truly great; nowadays, no one can write such beautiful poetry.

Tai Yin: Why?

Lin Qiuxia: There are many reasons; to answer your question, I need to check some data.

Tai Yin's side fell silent again; after several minutes, there was no further reply.

When Lin Qiuxia let out a breath, thinking today's contact had ended, Tai Yin's message came again.

This time he asked: "How is that beauty described in the poem now?"

Lin Qiuxia: She died; after the emperor fled the capital, a mutiny broke out, and to quell the soldiers' anger, she was strangled to death.

Tai Yin: What a pity! I really want to see how beautiful she was.

Lin Qiuxia: If you want to see, I have her photo here!

Tai Yin: If I haven't miscalculated, it's been over a thousand years; her bones must have turned to dust by now?

Lin Qiuxia inwardly marveled at Tai Yin's analytical ability.

She had never said that the Tang Dynasty was over a thousand years ago, but Tai Yin still figured it out from the earlier discussion of human history, knowing roughly the historical period.

Lin Qiuxia: She is dead, but now she is alive again; the situation is like this……

Lin Qiuxia began to narrate.

After sending that narration, Tai Yin sent a message: I don't want to see her photo; I want to see her video. Tell me what conditions you have! As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree.

Lin Qiuxia: Witch Tribe people don't lie!

Tai Yin: I am not that kind of zombie-brained Witch Tribe person; such a request is useless to me.

Lin Qiuxia's eyes shifted: "Then tell me, what is your purpose for coming?"

Tai Yin: I just want to come and have a look; if conditions allow, I want to help you develop technology, rise in the universe; speaking of which, our two tribes still have blood ties; of course, I do not regard you as a slave tribe.

In my view, as long as a life possesses equal wisdom and ability, it should be equal.

Lin Qiuxia: Okay! Tomorrow I will definitely send you her video; let's end the chat here for today! See you tomorrow!

Tai Yin: Okay!

……

"Huu~"

Lin Qiuxia let out a breath.

Today's contact finally ended.

She did not immediately leave the communications room, but instead closed her eyes to recall this contact.

The whole process I was careful, not letting the information that Tai Yin does not know be known to Tai Yin.

Next, Lin Qiuxia began to review the text records of the communication process, typing on the keyboard, writing today's communication report.

This report is for Dad to see.

Dad is smarter than me; he will surely analyze from it the information I cannot analyze.
