interstellar involution king

Chapter 18 Death Calamity!

Inside the mining truck.

"Is it because of the souls? No wonder the spaceship suddenly declared scrapped."

After reading the diary, Zheng Wan was stunned.

She is indeed much more knowledgeable than the original owner of Lin Yuan's body.

Lin Yuan asked: "So, what is a soul sender?"

"Remember about my sister?"

"Of course. Your sister's consciousness is trapped in Xinghai."

"Spirits are the consciousnesses that have escaped from the star sea. They are no longer human beings, but a strange electromagnetic life that can exist independently of the body, but it can't last long. Most of the time, they still have to rely on objects. Or light quantum The Internet, or the brain of a living person, that's why they are called soul-sending people."

"Electromagnetic life?"

After saying this, Lin Yuan immediately understood.

The Red Star Alliance also has electromagnetic life, and there are quite a few of them. More precisely, this is called the dissociated electromagnetic state of life.

In fact, every adult citizen of the Star Alliance can freely choose their own life forms, and the dissociative electromagnetic state is one of them.In addition, there are mechanical states, original ecology, and plasma states. As long as you have money.

For electromagnetic life, I hope that the brain also has complete information.

It can be said that in Nanli Country, no one understands electromagnetic life better than Lin Yuan, including electromagnetic life itself.

Of course Zheng Wan didn't know this, she continued: "Usually, the consciousness of the soul host is quite strong. When entrusting the body, it will lead to the complete disappearance of the consciousness of the original owner of the body."

"Well, that sounds a little scary."

The kitten was also listening. Hearing this, he couldn't help but said, "Isn't this the ghost in the TV series?"

Zheng Wan shrugged: "It's really a bit like a ghost. However, if only one or two people die, it's no different from an ordinary murder case, and the ghost on the spaceship can actually alert Yunmeng Continent to dispatch warships." , indicating that he is very likely to be an abyssal soul dweller!"

"Abyssal soul dweller?"

Another new word popped up.

"Yes." Zheng Wan nodded lightly: "The so-called abyss is a hidden snow area composed of a large number of anonymous servers on the Internet. It cannot be accessed directly. It must be invited by an internal member's secret key to enter. The content in it is extremely cruel, enough to be easily destroyed. All the kindness and warmth in people's hearts. It is a dark world composed of a group of human demons."

Her voice trembled slightly, as if just mentioning the abyss made her feel great fear.

"The souls who escaped from the abyss have completely lost their normal personality, are very powerful, and are often extremely destructive. Once they get out of control, they will cause terrible disasters."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Lin Yuan: "To be honest, your behavior is a bit like a ghost."

Lin Yuan spread his hands: "Do I look like me?"

"Ha, I was joking with you. But you know too much, too much to be like a normal person."

In this regard, Lin Yuan had long said something.

He sighed and asked back, "Zheng Wan, how old are you?"

"56.3 years old, what's wrong?"

Lin Yuan pointed to himself: "I am 156 years old. It happens to be a century longer than you. Do you still think I know more?"

"Well, it turned out to be an old senior, no wonder~" Zheng Wan was stunned.

She has a deep admiration from the bottom of her heart: "It's amazing to be able to persist in studying for so long without sinking into the world. I want to learn from you!"

The kitten also said: "Me too!"

Lin Yuan thought back on the life of the original owner of the body, and felt his old face burn. He only hoped that this terrible past would not be discovered.

But these were trivial matters, and his thoughts returned to the abyss spirit host.

He suddenly came up with an idea: "Isn't Linglong possessed by the abyss soul dweller?" '

If so, it would explain the origin of the third memory.

Although the current evidence is still insufficient, it is enough for Lin Yuan to take targeted preventive measures.

After thinking about it, he picked up his personal brain and began to operate quickly.

Next, the mining vehicle continues toward the engine bay.

After driving for a while, Zheng Wan suddenly said: "As an electromagnetic life, the soul-importer can move relatively freely between the light quantum network and the body. The vitality is very strong. The soul-importer back then may not have died completely."

Lin Yuan smiled faintly: "You mean, this ray of consciousness is probably still hiding inside the ruins. For example, living in a well-functioning optical quantum brain?"

Zheng Wan shook her head: "I don't know that. Oh, let's not talk about these old things. The engine room is in front."

"Gah~"

The mining truck stopped firmly at the maintenance entrance of the engine compartment.

Normally, a large passenger spacecraft will be equipped with many engines, some of which are responsible for adjusting the flight attitude, others for propulsion, and some for providing centrifugal gravity.

The one in front of you is the main engine compartment, which houses the main thruster group of the spacecraft.

Looking closely, it can be seen that the damage to this thing is very serious, and the shell can be seen to be severely cracked in many places, but fortunately, the structure has not been greatly deformed, which means that many parts can still be used.

This time, it will take quite a long time to get off the car and disassemble the parts.

In order to prevent accidents in the middle, Lin Yuan explained his plan carefully to the two women.

"I have a feeling that Linglong is here for me. She not only wants me to help her build weapons, she may even want me to be her subordinate."

This feeling is very mysterious and unfounded, similar to a kind of telepathy between opponents.

Zheng Wan was startled: "Subordinate? Why would she think so?"

Lin Yuan had no evidence at hand, and didn't know how to explain it.

He continued: "It's just my guess. In short, although there is cooperation, she may change her mind at any time. During the time I get off the car, there is a very high possibility of an accident."

Zheng Wan snorted coldly: "If she dares to come, I'll blow her head off."

Lin Yuan waved his hand: "Don't be brave. She can play a lot more cards than us now, so be cautious."

As he spoke, he handed the personal brain to Zheng Wan, pointed to the temporarily glued electric switch next to the brain, and introduced the functions one by one.

"This is a signal jammer. If there is a rat-headed man, use this. It can simulate the signal of the mother, so that the rat-headed man is at a loss."

"This is Thunder's attack switch. There are four modes: free killing, defensive counterattack, attack follow, and target lock. I have already told you about the specific usage. You can switch according to the situation. Do you understand?"

Zheng Wan nodded: "Well, I will keep an eye on Linglong all the time and not let her leave my sight."

Lin Yuan said to the kitten again: "Little cat, the body armor has been greatly reinforced. If there is an accident, after I get back to the car, you can drive forward with all your strength and use the mining truck as a tank, understand? ?”

"Okay, Uncle Lin."

After giving the order, Lin Yuan put on his tools and was about to get out of the car. Just as he opened the car door, he paused again, turned around and said to Zheng Wan, "Give me the little sparrow, I'll take it for self-defense."

After getting the little sparrow, Lin Yuan got out of the car and quickly walked into the maintenance pipe of the engine compartment.

The proton jet engine set installed in the engine compartment is composed of 12 standard engines connected in parallel.

Because it is a spacecraft produced by Aoki Group, the specific engine structure is somewhat different from that of Blackwater Group, but it is similar, and there are many common standard components.

Lin Yuan checked each engine one by one, and when he found a good component, he directly dismantled it and took it back to the mining vehicle.

Fortunately, the desolate star's gravitational acceleration is only 0.1g, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do this physical work.

Whenever he passed an engine, Lin Yuan would also check the superconducting coils in the engine.

"This coil is broken, man-made sabotage."

"Hey~ This is a laser igniter, a good thing, it can be used to make a laser gun."

"This coil is also broken, and so is this one. Well, this high-energy diverter valve is almost brand new. Ha, it's still from Boneng, a brand-name product. Put it away."

"This is bad too."

When checking the engine at the corner, Lin Yuan almost gave up.

"It's almost finished. The last engine is finished. Let's go after reading."

The pipes in the corner are very crowded, and you have to crawl in with your body curled up, and you have to be careful not to be scratched by the spacesuit by sharp parts, which is quite difficult to operate.

But the more such a place is, the greater the expectation in Lin Yuan's heart.

It is difficult for him to squeeze in such a crowded corner, and it is also difficult for others.Maybe the other party will deal with it hastily, resulting in the scrapping work not in place?

A few minutes later, Lin Yuan crossed a distance of 10 meters and arrived in front of the engine hood.

"Click"

Open the cover, Lin Yuan inspected it carefully.

"This coil... seems to be broken, no! No, no! The surface is destroyed, but not completely, and it can still be saved! Haha, it can still be saved!"

Lin Yuan was overjoyed.

After taking several deep breaths, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and carefully fastened the rope to the loading and unloading ring next to the coil, and then pulled out the coil weighing hundreds of catties bit by bit.

'Chi~'

The coil was a bit heavy, and I accidentally applied too much force, and my body leaned back. The back of the spacesuit was scratched by a sharp protrusion, and a small tear appeared.

Air flow suddenly leaked from the breach.

What's worse is that the location of the breach is very awkward, it happens to be a dead corner where the arm can't reach, and it can't be blocked even if you want to.

The space suit alarmed at the same time: "Attention, the space suit is damaged and the air pressure continues to drop. It will be life-threatening in 5 minutes."

Lin Yuan was shocked, but he calmed down immediately. His space suit has an automatic closing design, which will slow down the gas leakage as much as possible.

And 5 minutes was enough for him to get the superconducting coil out.

He dragged the coil and moved it out bit by bit. While ensuring sufficient speed, he kept his movements as undistorted as possible, so as not to scratch more sharp parts and cause more breaches.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Lin Yuan kept moving out at a speed of 10 centimeters per second.

"Chi~~chi~~~"

The sound of airflow leakage is like a horn calling for death, and the length of the 10-meter pipeline seems like an insurmountable moat.

Lin Yuan thought about asking Zheng Wan for help, but he gave up after a while.

Zheng Wan must keep an eye on Linglong, otherwise if the situation gets out of control, their ending may not be better than suffocation.

"There are still 4 meters left, and there is still 70% of the air pressure left, so it's not a big problem!"

Trying to get rid of distracting thoughts in his mind as much as possible, and keeping his body as stable as possible, he continued to move out slowly.

When there was less than 1 meter left, Zheng Wan's voice suddenly came from the communicator: "Lin Yuan, the situation is not quite right. No, the rat-headed man is coming, and there are a lot of them coming. I must defend myself~~~"

Before Zheng Wan finished speaking, her voice was interrupted by an electromagnetic pulse, and the signal jammer on the mining vehicle was activated.

'Zi!Noisy!Noisy! '

The noise of capacitor discharge kept ringing in the communicator, and the laser array was activated.

Amidst the noisy background noise, Zheng Wan's voice was faintly visible: "The Rat Man is really in a mess, but the replicants are coming towards the mining truck~ No, Linglong is gone, she is hiding!"

Lin Yuan was slightly shocked: "Sure enough, I guessed right, Linglong has been looking for opportunities to do it from the beginning to the end.All her words are lies. '

Originally, if Linglong fulfilled his promise, it would not be a big problem to build her 10 laser guns, but now it seems that his premonition was right.

"Zheng Wan, kitty, hold on, I'll be right there!"

Dealing with crises is an essential quality for astronauts.

But if multiple crises break out in a row, no matter how strong the astronauts are, they may overturn.

In space terms, this situation is known as a dead kalpa!

Whether or not he can cope with death is the basis for judging whether an astronaut is good or not.

At the critical juncture, Lin Yuan's movements remained undisturbed. He carried the superconducting coil and a large bag of parts, and continued to move towards the exit bit by bit.
