Chapter 33 Downward Path of Light
Lying on the ground, watching the closed isolation door keep shaking, it took Alex half a minute to remember how to breathe.
"It's so dangerous!"
The heartbreaking roar vented all the panic and fear. Alex suddenly noticed that there was a glowing ball head next to him. He choked hard and opened his eyes hard, and then he saw clearly that it was Dai.
A little fox wearing a helmet. The helmet of its space suit has a light. Although it mainly shines forward, it still reflects on the round helmet, like a big light bulb.
Inside the light bulb, the little fox was startled. It wasn't until Alex's face softened that it suddenly pounced on him, hugged him tightly, and cried out his inner emotions with tears: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, pull the lever, okay"
Hey, I thought I couldn't open the door... Wuwuwu, I don't want to lose you!"
"Okay, okay, it's not lost. You didn't abandon me, and I won't abandon you." Alex hugged the little fox and gently tapped its round helmet with his palm to express comfort.
"I was scared to death just now. Do you know? I saw a battleship slide past my eyes and completely destroy the apartment complex! I estimate that except for the people protected by the red zone of the computing power network, everyone else is dead.
Bar?"
"Oh my god!" Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, and then sucked back the tears with all her strength. "Thankfully I ran out with you! Otherwise, I would have died!"
"We are not absolutely safe yet, so we still have to go to the A-level defense zone. The defense zone is set up in the store on the lower deck. The introduction said that it can also operate independently in the space environment. I will go and see the situation here, and then we will
Let’s go!”
The two people pulled each other to stand up and bumped their fists lightly to encourage each other. Alex returned to the door first and found the touch control panel on the wall next to the door. According to the display on the screen, the opposite side was detected.
Due to the environmental emergency, the isolation mode has been turned on. The lights near the door have been activated, but this isolation door cannot communicate with other emergency equipment.
"Obviously there is a problem with the network within the starship." Alex kept pressing his fingers on the touch pad, and the brain control body continued to access various information menus according to his instructions. "Wow, look here.
The place opposite the door is a complete mess, the radiation index here is so high that it’s impossible to survive for three seconds without A-level protective clothing.”
Although he couldn't understand those indexes, and he didn't have the brain-controlled body's knowledge base to help translate them, it didn't stop the little fox from letting out bursts of exclamations. "My God, this is really scary!"
"According to these parameters, the situation on the other side of the door seems to be on the surface of the sun - at least at the beginning. Now all the dangerous parameters are declining, indicating that the shield and environmental repair functions are still working. It is expected that in three minutes
It’ll be fine. I have to say that this starship’s recovery ability is very strong.”
No matter how strong the recovery ability is, the building on the other side of the door still collapsed. Alex and the others now only have the isolation cabin to choose from. But even if the door on the other side does not collapse, Alex is unwilling to go back. He has an intuition that soon,
The red-headed ghost we saw before will appear again. If you dare to invade the Evolver H starship, you will not have only one enemy - if you don't come in groups, how can you be worthy of their efforts?
At this time, Alex did not know that the "Red Headed Ghost" would reorganize after its destruction.
Use the searchlight on the researcher's uniform to look around. Stretching stairs and pipes lead into the darkness in both directions, up and down. The so-called engineering isolation mezzanine (cabin) is the mezzanine gap between the two cabins in the starship. For safety
, in order to control damage and distinguish different environmental characteristics, the interior of the starship is combined and constructed using modules and isolation layers. There is a transition between cabins and cabins, and they can be separated when necessary. When walking inside the cabin, you will often encounter
To transportation hubs such as tunnels, that is the passage across the engineering isolation mezzanine. The most important cabin of the starship is inside, protected by other cabins and as many engineering isolation mezzanines as possible.
Normally no one comes here, just looking at the detection results of the instruments here is enough for the Comprehensive Evolutionary to understand the situation. Thousands of sets of detection modules are arranged throughout the isolation layer, and the remotely operated maintenance robot carrying 3D printing tools is enough to deal with it.
Normal situation. But now that the available network is lost here, Alex can only manually turn on the lights and equipment near an isolation door, which will make their next journey very difficult.
"There are three floors to go down, and each floor needs to go through two gates. If there is no problem, I can open the door with a click of my finger, but..." Alex pointed to the huge isolation door in front of him and said to the little fox
Said: "This thing is obviously not normal, and I can't guarantee that the things below are all good. I need a handy tool..."
Alex stared at the door and held the back of his head, and his brain-controlled body began to display the design drawings of the isolation door. Previously, he mistakenly triggered a command to search for the drawings of the isolation door on the Evolver H starship, causing the brain-controlled body to almost crash.
He also vomited half a liter of blood. However, he has always maintained Qiang Lei's will to survive, and his brain has been working hard to protect himself. With his computing power, it is a completely impossible task to analyze the Evolver starship from the starship database.
But Evolution starships are not the only ones that use this kind of isolation door.
His brain found the same product from the Vine-class container farm ship, and then issued new instructions.
In other words, those few mouthfuls of blood he vomited were not in vain.
Combining the design drawing of the isolation door with the real scene in front of him, plus the data retrieved from the control system, Alex had a new plan. He opened his windbreaker, took out the engineer's tool bag and placed it on the console
. Then, he pressed one hand on the touch panel of the tool bag and the other on the touch panel of the isolation door, letting his brain control body act as an intermediary bridge to transmit the design drawings of the special tools that needed to be printed.
.
Not long after, a weird wrench with five claws was printed.
"This is a black box disassembler specially designed for the Pac87 isolation door. The entire starship only has blueprints and no inventory, just to prevent someone from doing bad things with this thing." Alex slanted his shoulder and carried this with one hand.
A strange instrument weighing ten kilograms came to the side of the isolation door. "This thing is like a key. It can only open the core controller of the isolation door. It can't do anything else."
"Oh, that must be awesome." The little fox didn't understand it at all, but it didn't stop him from applauding. "With this, we can move on?"
"There's still one step left, one step left. Give me some time..." Alex placed the five-claw wrench on the ground, took out the general tool from the engineer's bag, and began to disassemble a black box in front of him. With bursts of flashes of light,
The tomocutter removed the outer casing of the box, revealing a circuit board with complex wiring inside.
He picked up the five-claw wrench again and carefully poked it into the circuit board, ignoring the wiring and parts on it, as if he was going to pierce it. The little fox became very nervous. It was worried that Alex would get an electric shock.
Trying to recall the operating instructions for his space suit. Is it insulated? Will it be penetrated? Can I pull Alex out of danger?
Before Xiaoxiao could finish the plot in his mind, Alex pushed forward, and the wrench made a clicking sound, just like the feeling of a key being inserted into a keyhole and biting perfectly. He breathed a sigh of relief, and first said to
Turn the wrench left and right, and then pull it out. The entire circuit board was disassembled, and the connections and parts on it were loosened at the same time, falling to the ground with a clatter.
"This is the real control core." Alex took off the weird wrench, put it under the 3D printer, and let the machine disassemble it. "According to the operating regulations here, the wrench must be destroyed, and I don't need it anyway.
Now. What I want to use now is this..."
He crouched and reached forward to take something from the broken box. First, there were two metal cans the size of thermos flasks, one red and one black, and then a box with a screen the size of a toy Rubik's Cube. Along with these two items
After being taken out, a line of words was displayed on the screen of the isolation door: "The control base station was taken out and locked into emergency mode."
"This is a printing material for repairing starships. If there is a problem with the self-check here, you can use this to automatically repair it. Despite its small size and light weight, in fact, if it is at standard light speed and gravity, the content inside is almost two hundred tons, thanks to gravity
Space compression technology. Now it’s still... Hey, lucky, it’s full!” Alex used the two metal cans to replace the material cans of the 3D printer, so that the types of tools he can make will be more abundant. “As for
This box is what we need most: the contact control base station."
Xiaoxiao tried her best to stand on tiptoes and stared with wide eyes. The box kept deforming in Alex's hands. First, a long tube stretched out and connected to the external interface of the clothes, thus becoming an external component of the environmental adaptation suit.
Then, it turned over a disc antenna the size of a finger, which kept rotating on the display screen. Finally, Alex slammed the box against his left arm. It actually kept splitting and deforming, biting the arm like mud.
, and finally fixed on it, like a wristband with a screen and antenna.
"Heavier than expected, it seems I need to take time to exercise." Alex raised his left arm as if looking at a watch, but the fingers of his right hand were still pressed on it: "This is a control terminal.
The commands of the brain control body are amplified and transmitted. Simply put, this is a network center that allows surrounding equipment to operate. Although it is not as powerful as the computing power network and the zero-order world, general information dumps are still possible.
If I calculated correctly, there must be light now..."
Along with the constant buzzing sound, lights began to light up, bringing illumination to the isolation layer. Although the lights that turned on were within a range of one hundred meters, it was enough for them to see down to the ground thirty meters away.
A partition door.
"Look, the door has been activated, and the environmental data on the opposite side has been transmitted." Alex stretched out his hand to the little fox: "Let's go, judging from the data, the opposite side is very safe, and the door is waiting for us!"
Xiaoxiao took Alex's hand without hesitation and followed quickly with her short legs. It will be at a loss in times of crisis, but it can also gain courage and confidence from the people around it. The raccoon star likes
Living in groups, they need to live in groups. They can find and judge whether there are creatures suitable for initiating group living. The little fox's feeling was light before, but now it is completely different.
After entering the "social" state, Xiaoxiao became a lot more relaxed, and it also became curious. "How did that box bite your hand? Can it bite my hand?"
"According to the instructions, this is a micron-level adaptive module design that can deform to a certain extent and of course can be fixed on your arm. But according to the instructions, it can only be connected to the external interface of the evolution plug-in set.
Really kicking off.”
"Why do you stress about following the instructions?"
"Because this is my first time to see this thing, all the knowledge I have is from reading the manual. I will find time to study in the future to know what adaptive module design is."
"Then besides turning on the lights and reading data, what else does this thing do?"
"With it, I can know the situation on the other side of the isolation door in advance. I just saw the starship crash, so I can't think that the other side of the door is the usual safe environment. Moreover, some functions of the isolation door need to be activated in advance to take effect, and
The self-checking of these doors also takes time. With this thing, I can take my life into my own hands a little bit."
"Oh, it turns out it's so magical!" The little fox licked his lips and asked again: "Then..."
Chapter completed!
