Chapter 130 Ball Lightning A Century Ago

Era of Crisis 112, Geosynchronous Orbit, Verne Island Spaceport 1
A century ago, Taylor the Wallfacer had experimented with spherical lightning near here, and ETO hijacked a spaceship carrying spherical lightning and used it to crash into this spaceport.

Fortunately, there were professionals in the spaceport at that time, who activated the ball flash magnetic restraint system in the spacecraft to prevent the eruption of ball lightning and saved all the survivors.

However, the spaceport and the space elevator below were also abandoned. As for the ball lightning inside, no one cared, because the magnetic confinement system was enough to work for centuries.

And even if the magnetic constraint is scrapped, it is not a problem. ETO has set the spectrum of the spherical lightning to be human, but this space elevator has been deserted for a long time, and no one can appear.

What's more, after the spaceport was abandoned, the PDC closed the doors of all cabins and dismantled the space elevator below.

Therefore, even if the ball lightning escapes from the spacecraft, it cannot leave the spaceport.

The two internationals have long ignored the events of a century ago, and there is no martial law here, but because it is relatively far away from several modern earth-moon routes, no one has ever approached this space port.

But today there were a few unexpected visitors, who drove a small scavenger spaceship and approached this long-abandoned space city.

As humans enter space on a large scale, a large amount of space junk is naturally produced, especially the near-Earth space, which is the first place developed by humans, is full of a large amount of space junk.

Since the first Cold War, humans have been launching satellites into geosynchronous orbits, and the experimental spaceships and space bases of the early Crisis Era have been abandoned.

So the space scavenger industry has been stimulated, and in this era of affordable space travel for individuals, they pilot simple spaceships to collect space junk between the Earth-Moon system.

The Earth International government also encourages this, because this will save money for recycling space junk, thereby improving the safety factor of the Earth-Moon route.

"Boss, let's send it out, there is such a big abandoned spaceport here." After the radar scanned the spaceport in front of him, a rogue-eyed man said excitedly.

The bearded burly man known as the boss pushed the younger brother away, stared at the data on the radar and said, "Let me take a look... Fuck, this thing is not small! Launch the drone to have a look."

After receiving the order, the scavenger spacecraft released a DJI unmanned spacecraft, and the other party quickly hung on the metal shell of the spaceport.

"The shell is composed of heavy elements, mainly ancient titanium alloys, and a small amount of nanomaterials. From the perspective of volume, the mass of this thing will not be less than 100 million tons." The rat-headed man reported the data.

"Hurry up and prepare to slow down, turn on the magnetic field docking instrument, and start docking with this space city." The boss said excitedly, this time it is probably going to make a fortune.

Just a million tons of metal is enough to make them billionaires, not to mention such a large space port, there must be expensive antiques, supercomputers and various high-tech equipment inside.

Because of the vacuum environment in space, the equipment inside will not rust, and because of the technological blockade of the Trisolarans, computer technology will not make great progress.

Therefore, as long as computers and sophisticated equipment from a century ago can be preserved in space, they are still suitable for modern times.

The scavengers quickly began to slow down, maintaining a relatively static state with the spaceport, and the docking work was not difficult. As old scavengers, they quickly "glued" to the shell of the spaceport.

Then the spacecraft began to use high-energy laser cutters to neatly cut open the metal shell of the spaceport, and then several people wearing space version powered exoskeletons jumped in.

"Hey boss, there are nano-materials in here!" A rough woman said excitedly after testing the "load-bearing wall" with a light energy measuring instrument.

"Is this spaceport the synchronous orbital station of the space elevator?" the boss wondered.

"It seems that the main structure of this spaceport is basically made of nano-materials, and even the metal shell is made of high-performance nano-silicon boride."

"How could the space elevator be abandoned?" the boss wondered. He has a master's degree in materials science from Tsinghua University, and he knows that with the help of radiation-resistant nanomaterials, the lifespan of the space elevator is five or six centuries.

In addition, the cost of each space elevator, especially the earth space elevator, is astronomical, and no political body will take the initiative to retire the space elevator in advance.

"Boss, a space elevator on Verne Island was abandoned. It seems that two Wallfacers were active in this area at that time." The roe-headed mouse-eyed man next to him explained.

"Oh oh oh, I remembered." The boss suddenly realized: "What Luo just stayed in this spaceport before, when ETO crashed into it with a spaceship."

"If this is a synchronous orbital station of a space elevator, then aren't we going to make a lot of money?" the rough and crazy woman said excitedly.

"Yes, go to the supercomputing center first, remove the large computer that controls the elevator, and get the other things later." The boss urged.

Then they quickly turned on the jet propulsion and flew towards the supercomputing center located in the core area of ​​the spaceport, but they were soon blocked by a door.

"Which idiot closed the door? Use a laser cutter to cut this broken door!" Looking at the thick door in front of him, the boss ordered.

After the spaceport was crashed by the spaceship, they could make a detour through the hole next to it, but there were a lot of fragments of the spaceport outside, and they didn't want to take the risk of taking a detour.

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Zhangtoushumu used a high-energy laser cutter to try to cut open the door, and soon a hole was cut out of the door.

"What is that?" After the door was cut open with a laser, the boss saw a faint purple light and a pile of twisted metal garbage in front of him.

That thing looked like a spaceship, but it was distorted out of shape, as if it had been melted in the high temperature. The strangest thing was that there was a strange purple light like a will-o'-the-wisp inside.

"It seems to be the spaceship used by ETO to crash into this spaceport." The rough and crazy woman replied.

"What is the purple light in there?" The boss asked again, for some reason, he subconsciously felt that purple light was dangerous.

Especially when there are only two people next to him, and in a spaceport that has been abandoned for a century, encountering such a strange light can be regarded as the plot of a horror movie.

"I don't know." The two younger brothers shook their heads. They are old scavengers, but no one has seen such a situation.

"It feels weird..." the boss muttered, but the rough woman suddenly realized and exclaimed, "No, that thing is ball lightning!"
