Interstellar arena

[There is another chapter today, it is estimated to be updated at around [-] am]

After Liu Fei and Tony returned to the Locker 1 barge, they briefly explained the situation to everyone. Soon, everyone came to a conclusion: Except for some serious damage to the outer shell of the Stan spacecraft, the main structures such as Neither the main and auxiliary engines nor the backup energy sources were damaged.

It is speculated that the dormant state of the main engine of the Stein spacecraft should be artificial.

It is very likely that when the aliens entered the Stan spaceship on a large scale, after the tragic battle, some crew members believed that the Stan spaceship had been captured. In order to prevent Prince Morton from rushing into the Stan spaceship without knowing it, they closed the spaceship. Stein's main engine.

Likewise, it is believed that the aliens inside the Stein spaceship have been evacuated.

In the end, it was unanimously agreed to board the Stan spacecraft. As long as the main engine of the Stan spacecraft is not damaged, even if it loses the ability to jump between stars, staying on a galaxy-class spacecraft is better than staying on a shuttle. on board.

The huge size and capacity of the Istan, and the food stored on it are enough for them to consume for hundreds of years, this is what attracts everyone the most. As long as there is food, there is no need to worry about their lives for the time being.

After making a decision, Locke 1 landed on the interstellar shipyard of Stan. Because the number of engineering mechs on Locke 1 was not enough, people put on the space suits on Locke 1 and boarded the Stan spacecraft.

The space suit is different from the mech, but it is slightly larger than the human body. It is mainly used for short stays in space, or to overhaul some external equipment. Of course, the role of the space suit on Locke 1 is mainly for escape, because Locke 1 It was originally a multi-purpose feeder ship. Apart from the connection between the planet and the spaceship, escape was its main purpose.

Because the gravity system is activated, the Stan spacecraft is no different from walking on the surface of the planet except that it is still in a vacuum state, which gives people a sense of down-to-earth security.

People's goal was the main control room of the Stan. Tony was familiar with the main control room, because he just returned from the main control room, and activated the lighting and gravity systems through the backup energy.

People walked cautiously in the corridor, secretly shocked by the brutality of the battle.

The corpse of the alien far surpassed the wreckage of the mecha. It can be seen that the mecha fighters on this spaceship are very powerful and dealt a heavy blow to the alien.

Looking at the alien corpses and mecha wreckage all over the place, Prince Morton looked sad. Those who could travel with him were all his loyal subordinates.

Soon, everyone came to the main control room. To their surprise, the life cycle system in the main control room was working, which made people overjoyed.

The normal operation of the life cycle system means that people can not wear bloated space suits.

Judging from the undamaged steel gates in the main control room, the aliens should have captured the entire spaceship. After arriving in the main control room, the captain made an important decision to open all the gates and put the main engine in a dormant state. .

It has to be said that this captain has a very good foresight. Just because all the steel gates are open, the damage of the alien to the Stan is very limited. If all the steel gates are closed, the alien will inevitably use violent invasion to enter some of the closed ships. cabin.

At the same time, one can imagine how much courage it took to make the decision to open all the steel gates, because that would be tantamount to suicide!

After confirming the safety of the main control room, everyone took off their space suits.

Such a big main control room?

Liu Fei looked in amazement at this main control room of hundreds of square meters. This is a warm metal world, with lights of various colors flashing everywhere. It is dazzling, the shining stars seem to be around.

This is the brain of the Stein spacecraft, and every corner of the Stein is under the control of this main control room.

The main control optical computer was not fully activated. After Tony entered a set of passwords, Prince Morton entered another set of passwords, and the main control optical computer was fully activated.

After the main control optical brain was started, the lights in the main control room changed slightly, and some dormant instruments also started to work.

"Drip drip drip..."

When the main control light brain was turned on, immediately, there was a rapid alarm sound, and a row of indicator lights above the main control room flashed orange light.

"Orange alert."

Prince Morton and Dr. Wayne glanced at each other, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

The alert level of the Stan spacecraft is divided into three levels: yellow, orange and red. Now it is orange, which means that the situation is not very bad. If it reaches the red level, the crew must be evacuated immediately. The orange level is at least one that can allow human beings to survive. environment of.

"The protective armor outside the e area is damaged, and the life cycle system cannot be used."

"The n-zone holographic scanning system has been destroyed."

"The steel gate in area p is [-]% damaged and is in isolation."

"70.00% of the right auxiliary engine is damaged, and there is no possibility of repair."

"The left auxiliary engine is in a forced sleep state and cannot be detected."

"The main engine is in forced hibernation and cannot be detected."

"..."

The optical computer started to activate the self-check function, and the melodious electronic voice kept reporting the data of the Stein.

People looked at the data stream on the holographic screen, and their hearts seemed to fall into ice holes. The degree of damage to the Stan spaceship has far exceeded their imagination.

The entire Stan spacecraft has thirteen engines, but as many as four were damaged. This is a desperate statistic.

What scares people the most is that the main engine is in a forced sleep state and cannot obtain data immediately.

"Your Highness, you can start the main engine now." Captain Tony looked at Prince Morton and consulted.

"Try it..."

"Wait, I suggest that you need to be more cautious when starting the main engine without confirming the safety of the main engine."

"Why?" Prince Morton wondered.

"Your Highness, although the spaceship Stan is not a space battleship, its armor thickness is thicker than that of ordinary space battleships. Moreover, the Stan also has a team of well-trained mecha fighters. I suspect that those steel gates were not opened by order of the captain." Dr. Wayne said with a serious face.

"What do you want to say?"

"Your Highness, the alien has an extremely powerful brainwave invasion function, and our captain is not a soldier. He does not have the willpower of steel. It is very likely that the alien will control the brain and open all the steel gates. We have also seen that the hull encountered The damage received is mainly the shell, and the battle is also concentrated on the shell. According to normal people's thinking, this should be a long tug-of-war. Our guards will stick to every steel gate, but the fact is that the battle of the guards is mainly concentrated On the outermost, rather than step-by-step, step-by-step backsliding, this situation can only tell one thing."

"Ok?"

"That is, as soon as the battle started, all the steel gates were opened, and people had to concentrate on the outermost part to intercept the alien invasion."

"What does this have to do with the main engine? Could it be that the alien is responsible for the forced sleep of the main engine?" Prince Morton asked with a frown.

Prince Morton’s words immediately caused a group of big men to laugh. You must know that turning off the main engine is not as simple as pressing a button. It is a very complicated operation process that requires extremely high authority. No matter how high the IQ of the alien is, , it is impossible to perform such complex operations.

"Your Highness, haven't you noticed a very strange problem?"

"what is the problem?"

"The holographic monitoring data of the spaceship is blank."

"..."

The bodies of the people were shocked, and people seemed to ignore this problem. The optical brain of the Stan was not damaged. As long as the optical brain was in operation, it would faithfully record the battle scenes. In fact, there was nothing in the optical brain. Any data on the alien invasion.

"Your Highness, because there is no holographic video, it is impossible to restore the environment at that time. However, I can be sure that the steel gate was not opened by the captain. As for the main engine, it may also be closed by the captain at the last moment. It is very likely that the captain is not at all. Instead of shutting down the main engines, I want to start the ship's self-destruct sequence."

"Start the self-destruct procedure?" Prince Morton's expression froze, and he asked, "Then why is the main engine forced to shut down?"

"This needs to be confirmed. May I ask your Highness, is there any difference between the password to turn off the main engine and the password to activate the self-destruct program?"

"Yes, but the difference is not big. To start the self-destruct program, you must enter the password to shut down the main engine. Simply put, the self-destruct program has one more set of passwords than shutting down the main engine." Prince Morton thought for a while and said. .

"Yes, it is likely that the captain died just before the self-destruct sequence was initiated, resulting in the forced shutdown of the main engine."

"..."

The huge main control room suddenly fell into a burst of extreme silence. If it is true as Dr. Wayne guessed, then the spaceship Stan has been controlled by aliens from the very beginning.

"Your Highness, in fact, I doubted it from the very beginning. Based on the veteran's understanding of aliens, it is absolutely impossible for aliens to corrode and penetrate the thick protective armor in a short time. The Stan is a galaxy-level spaceship, even with the weakest armor thickness. In this corrosion process, the intelligent monitoring system of the optical brain cannot find out for no reason. If the captain finds a large-scale alien invasion, he will definitely order high-speed flight to get rid of it. Unfortunately, the spaceship of the Stein spacecraft The coordinates have not moved at all, that is to say, from the very beginning, the intelligent optical brain of the Stein has lost control..."

The main control room fell into silence again, and people became inexplicably tense, looking around, as if an alien was lurking in a dark corner waiting for an opportunity to move at any time.

"Liu Fei, what do you think?" Li Wenyan suddenly asked Liu Fei beside her.

"I have no opinion."

Liu Fei shook his head, but people already knew what Liu Fei was thinking from the admiration he looked at Dr. Wayne.

Liu Fei's respect for Dr. Wayne comes from the bottom of his heart. When he went back, Xiao Qiangguang's brain had already analyzed this possibility, and Dr. Wayne came to this conclusion just through observation. The meticulousness has reached the level of frightening. You must know that the small strong optical brain is an optical brain, and every result of it is obtained through billions of calculations.

In fact, Liu Fei was a little fussy. Dr. Wayne is a leading figure in the scientific community of the Morton galaxy, with a respected status. Arranged next to Prince Morton by the emperor, he hoped that the ignorant Prince Morton would learn a little bit under the influence of his ears and eyes, so as not to become an embroidered pillow.

The effect is obvious, because Dr. Wayne, Prince Morton has indeed changed a lot. At least, he knows how to be a corporal, he also knows the power of knowledge, and he has a king's mind. However, the emperor of the Morton Empire never dreamed that, He arranged Dr. Wayne next to Prince Morton, but it brought an end to the Morton Empire, which was beyond his expectation...
