old light morning light

Chapter 188 "87"

Not surprisingly, I checked the signal connection of the terminal with luck. Not only could I not find the communication signal of the star system, but even the relay nodes of the ship were all lost.

The red signal symbol bared its teeth and claws, as if mocking my incompetence.

"do you know?"

But now...

I already have a general idea, although I still want to make another compilation to improve the concept, but does this guy who is as limp as a worm really have the energy to question the "hope" that he finally saw?

68% of the energy supply has been restored, and the status displayed on the terminal proves that those colleagues who fought hard have not given up on this poor battleship.

"Modern warships with new designs all have a specially designed structure called..."

It's broken, what should I call it, the most important thing is obviously not made up, and I'm still talking nonsense about it...

Since it is a distress transmitter, and it can only function after the ship disintegrates and sinks, it is called a "sunken beacon"... okay?
What a cheap name that I wouldn't believe myself...

"...so you must read more books and learn more in the future. Only knowledge can help you truly cross class..."

Alright, don't be so long-winded, old man, you are still clamoring to read books in what age!

But really, I knew that I would have learned more knowledge in the empire's shipyard at that time, at least I wouldn't have to rack my brains to make up a lie like now!
"……Um?"

No matter what his name is, we still have to deal with him first.

Let him cheer up first, then I can let him take me to the power cabin to help, this is the purpose of my trip, okay!
"It's called a sinking beacon."

Yes, yes, calm down, and be more confident in your expression and tone of voice. Although this guy is already like this, it is always troublesome to make him have unnecessary doubts.

"When laying the keel of a new type of ship, a device that can send out a high-frequency distress signal will be placed at a specific position."

Yes, that's what it looks like.

"The specially designed housing and exposed electrodes would leave the device in a constant short circuit."

"When the ship is sunk, or in short, when the ship disintegrates, the specially designed structure will enable the device to break away from the keel smoothly, so that the short-circuit state is released and enters the active state, and begins to automatically move around with a fixed frequency to send a distress signal."

Think again, if there is another better way...

Lost power, and unable to communicate, the place where it was hit was still the hangar, it seems that even the traffic boat may not be usable now...

"So we haven't really made it to the end yet!"

So it seems that we are really going to the last step!

Well, let's put him first...

Appropriate body language is also an extension of words. At the same time, I should make a surprised expression. Although it can't be too fake, it should at least make him feel the ups and downs of emotions.

"Didn't you ask me why I don't feel sad at all?"

Well, so to speak, this is exactly the question he himself raised.

"I knew from the very beginning that there was a last resort. As long as we really got to this point, we all boarded the escape pods and self-destructed the battleship, and we could be saved."

"Um……"

Eh?
Why such a reaction?

Is something wrong, shouldn't he realize that he can survive, recover immediately and take me to the power room to help?
"Although it's sad to say that such a beautiful warship is going to be blown up, it's to save our lives... right?"

Gee!
This guy won't, even his soul is already dead, right?
Now it's really troublesome.

Even though I have always been quite wary of Dover, I still regard him as a "friend".

Although the time of contact is not that long, I still don't want to see a friend become a walking dead like this.

"Dover?"

"Dover?"

Maybe the previous appearance was really supported by the suffocated breath in my heart. After I let go of this breath just now, is it considered that I have completely lost my will?
"Dover?"

After I slapped and yelled many times, my pupils, which had been dead silent and no longer responding to the outside world, suddenly shrank. This was a sign that I wanted to refocus!

Yes, let him see the efforts of his colleagues in the Navy!

"Hey, Dover, look, 71% of the energy supply has been restored now!"

"No one gave up, everyone didn't give up!"

"Lin Man?"

"How can we just admit defeat here?"

That's right, if you lie to others for too long, you will also get lost in the lie, right?
I also deceived Moral, Nalia, and myself before, right?

I'm about to forget what kind of person I am, and I'm about to get lost in the lies I've woven, right?
Haha, no wonder, I was so calm this time, just like what Dover said, I was so calm.

What hope, what a bright future, what else... No, no, I can't think about these things now...

I……

Still have to live.

Otherwise, isn't it true that all the previous efforts have been wasted?

"Well……"

Yes, struggling hard, although I can't guarantee that it will help the repair of the ship, but it is obviously not the best choice to just give up like him.

"You mean, we have one last hope... huh?"

Still weak, but fortunately, this guy finally said a whole sentence.

"Yes."

No matter what the previous state was, at least this time I must firmly affirm him, so that it is possible to achieve the effect I expected.

"Um……"

"Let's help you sit up first, it's too soft to be so paralyzed, isn't it uncomfortable?"

The eyes that had been slack before seem to have regained some luster, I hope it is not my psychological effect and the magnified placebo effect.

"I'm ashamed to say that I also majored in power systems before, but now that there is a problem with the ship's power, I can't help at all."

Now that this guy is able to respond to outside information, it's time for him to lead the way.

But tell him directly that I want to join the ranks of repairing the mainframe together, he will definitely have negative thoughts of confrontation, thinking that everything is futile, right?
Although it is just my guess, I am not willing to take the risk. Once the topic is sealed by him, it will be difficult to open a breakthrough.

But it's better to be sensitive, so I don't worry too much.

"you……?"

Based on the information currently available and the risks that can be taken, it is better to lure his interest step by step as the primary goal.

"You may not believe me when I say it, but I have a degree from Imperial College of Science and Technology, and my major is low-power power systems."

"Imperial...Technology...degree?"

"Speaking of which, aren't you still curious, why can I speak Imperial language so fluently?"

"I studied in the Empire, that's why."

"is it?"

Yes, that's what it takes!
Let him think of something by himself, and finally inspire himself by himself. Such psychological hints can easily be transformed into motivation for execution, and often have a strong subjective color.

People are always willing to believe what they see and hear, and... what they discover and think is right.

The sky outside the window is flickering, and the entire galaxy, which is endless as far as the eye can see, is like a large luminous net, slowly enveloping us.

Just like fate, we can't escape, and there is nowhere to escape. I can't think of any other better way than making myself a bright star and blending into it.

"I can't make money by lying to you, do you want to eat something?"

Stuffing it into his pocket, he happened to touch the two bug cakes that were taken out and taken away from Esseline just now, took out one and threw it to Dover.

"roll!"

But it's a pity that he was thrown back by the latter again. He is not Esselin, and he will not fall into such a clumsy trick like me.

However, if he is like this, he can be regarded as recovering some vitality, but anyway...

"Don't waste food."

"Dover?"

"Can you take me to the host to have a look, maybe I can help you with something."

"Well... but..."

He agreed easily, but the person who was about to shake and stand up suddenly stopped again as if remembering something.

"Well, that's fine, then you have to obey the instructions of the on-site maintenance team and don't mess around..."

After a long time, he didn't say anything. After a short period of stupefaction, this guy's demeanor changed again. In the end, he just confessed a few words without pain, and felt that such an explanation was like a waste of saliva.

He just swayed and stood up again, and blinked at me, probably to indicate that I can go on the road... What kind of road should I go, it's unlucky.

In fact, I am quite curious. Although the hangar was hit, the ammunition was detonated after penetrating and entering the lower deck. How about the damage to the hangar?

Can you find a good traffic boat or something else... Speaking of which, I remember the time I went to rescue Esseline before. Although the hangar was very large, it was quite empty. I saw two small traffic boats but not See the carrier-based aircraft on board.

However, although it is a hangar, it is not possible that any and all hangars can carry it... No, that slide rail is clearly a slide rail for a single aircraft to launch and fly, so in fact this ship is equipped with carrier-based aircraft, but it has already Was let out?

It had been released before that, that is, it had been released before the battle. It seemed that it should be a reconnaissance plane.

But it's not necessarily true, maybe there was no plane on board, and they kept saying that they couldn't get good supplies, didn't they?

Is there any use in thinking about this now?
Where is the artifact reconnaissance plane?

Moreover, it seems that there is already a faint smell of something burning.
