Interstellar Mecha Life

Chapter 44

What appeared in front of him was undoubtedly a performance mech.However, the mobility it displayed is by no means what a performance mech can do.After nimbly and deftly cutting off the excess part of the flying track, it started up quickly, carrying a carriage with people into the air, arrived near the government building within half a minute, and landed steadily.

This time people finally kept their senses and did not panic.After another shuttle, the door of the mecha was opened immediately, and after the passengers flocked into the government building, they finally felt at ease temporarily.

Qi Yue noticed that the mecha flew away quickly again, probably looking for other survivors.

This government building is fully functional and stylish, with a total of 150 floors and an area of ​​about 7000 square meters.There are also many people who are working inside, and there are also lucky ones who came from nearby.Although they didn't know exactly what happened, they could imagine by observing their surroundings that it was not a good decision to leave here now.Fortunately, there is a complete life support system in this building, and the supply of various food and drinking water is not a problem for the time being.

Most of the newcomers like Qi Yue were crowded on the first floor, at a loss.Walking down the stairs, two staff members in formal uniforms led the crowd into several rooms and provided them with much-needed food and water.

When asked what happened, the two staff members obviously didn't know, but they assured that the distress signal had been sent and the interstellar rescue organization would come soon.Star Tang is a very regular entertainment planet, and its number in the system is BA-1005, which means that in the B star area, it is an entertainment planet that was developed earlier.It is impossible to ignore such a planet that is assigned and controlled by the Alliance Government and has a regular number.

The room was very quiet.Everyone seems to have spent too much energy after the panic just now, and they need to recharge to regain their vitality.

Almost everyone believes that the outside world has learned about this and that help will come soon.

"What should we do now?" Angel asked, "The whole planet travels through the wormhole, is it still so frequent? It's incredible, how could such an unlucky thing make us encounter...Qi Yue...?"

"kindness?"

"What are you thinking, so focused?"

Qi Yue said: "I'm positioning, I want to know where we are now."

"Can you?" Lulu asked.

Qi Yue shook his head: "No way. Although the connection with Skynet is still there, it can only send out signals, not receive them."

In fact, many people have noticed this situation.In the interval of more than a minute after the planet left the wormhole, although the connection with Skynet was actually normal, all devices were in a state where they could only send information but not receive it.Only the planetary intranet system, that is, the internal communication of the planet is still normal.

This is not surprising.

As mentioned above, the interstellar communication uses the electromagnetic wave technology with a history of thousands of years plus tiny wormholes.Because pure electromagnetic wave communication is carried out at the speed of light.Once the distance exceeds light minutes, light hours, this method becomes clumsy and impractical.What's more, in the Samsung system era, the farthest communication distance is tens of thousands of light years.If only electromagnetic waves are used, I am afraid that people have died for several generations, and the news has not yet reached.

But even stimulating tiny wormholes requires a certain amount of energy, and for short-distance planetary interiors, such a communication method is not economical enough.Therefore, many planets implement traditional communication methods inside the planets. Internal information is aggregated to relay equipment, and then sent out using tiny wormhole technology to carry out real interstellar communication.

In addition to the content of the information that needs to be sent on the planet, it also carries destination information.

For example, a person in Sokoses wants to send a message to Tang Xing's people.Then when sending, the entire message, together with the message header carrying the Tang star number, was sent to the relay device on the planet Sokoses.This device will convert the number into real-time interstellar coordinates of Tang Xing according to the star map, and then activate the wormhole to send the information out.

It is easy to see from this process that once Tang Xing is not on the track where he should be, the information will not be conveyed.But the information sent from Tang Xing is not affected by this.

That's where they are now.

Because of this, Qi Yue was not optimistic.If you know that the outside world doesn't even know where they are, how can you talk about rescue?
Among the people in the room, some were injured during the bumpy transfer just now, and some were mentally shocked, showing a bad state.Lulu began to take the initiative to take care of these injured people together with some people.

Angel helped a few times and was chased away because of his clumsiness.So he sat back to face Qi Yue who was quite focused on the soft screen, remained silent for a while, and said to himself: "I don't know what happened to Claude and the others, will it be..."

As soon as he calmed down, he couldn't help but think of the horrible empty scene before.The life that was still alive just now was wiped out in an instant without being aware of it, leaving no trace, as if it had never existed halfway.

He never wanted to see such a scene again in his life.

When Qi Yue heard this, his pupils shrank, and he said immediately: "Don't think about it, the place where they watched the mech show was Tang Xing's largest indoor arena, and when the incident happened, it was the time when the show started, so they wouldn't have any problems of."

Angel took a deep breath, nodded and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Yue said: "I need to spend some time to enter Tang Xing's central system. It's too bright here. If I can turn off the artificial lighting system, I can compare the position of the stars with the star map to confirm the direction. I want to know where we are Where? Where are you going?"

"Qi Yue, there is an unfamiliar communication request." McDull said.

"Come in."

As soon as Qi Yue finished speaking, the communication request was connected, and Xing Tianhe's voice came: "Qi Yue, I need your help, the current communication status..."

He just said halfway, Qi Yue said: "I'm trying to turn off the artificial light source, and then I can locate through the starry sky. I think this kind of shuttle will not be random, but regular. Once we find the pattern, we can Recalculate the coordinates and resume two-way communication."

"No, you can't turn off the light source." Xing Tianhe immediately denied it.

"Why? You should know that in addition to the problems I mentioned, this kind of artificial light source also has a great impact on the internal communication of the planet. It is fine if the equipment is complete at ordinary times, but I just checked it. After several wormhole shuttles, Don The signal strengthening equipment of the star has been damaged, and if this continues, even the current internal communication of the planet may be a problem."

The so-called artificial light source refers to activating the high altitude of the atmosphere, the air at about 55km to make it glow.This altitude is just below the ionosphere of the planet's atmosphere.It is well known that the electromagnetic waves on which interplanetary communications rely are carried out in the ionosphere when they travel long distances.

Once the artificial light source is activated, between human activities and the ionosphere, communication will inevitably be affected.

Xing Tianhe said in a stern voice: "That's not okay. Internal communication barriers are acceptable, but once the light is lost, it will cause a greater psychological blow to most survivors, causing confusion. Now the feedback from the outside cannot come in. Tang Xing's own administrative system and security forces are still alive and can't be counted, and even I can't know it. Qi Yue, you must know that not everyone can calmly hold on to this situation, let alone everyone. The knowledge you have. Therefore, the light source must not be canceled, and it must be kept in full daylight."

"Okay, I see." Qi Yue knew that what he said made sense, and pondered: "The problem of positioning..."

"I'll go over now, you come out and enter my mech." Xing Tianhe's voice suddenly stopped.After more than a minute, the communication was connected again: "Not all places on Star Tang have artificial lighting, we can just leave the human gathering place."

When Qi Yue actually climbed into Xing Tianhe's mecha that took them outside the government building just now, and sat in the small co-pilot seat full of debris, Tang Xing had already experienced a total of 23 shuttle.

Qi Yue noticed that the interior of the parade entertainment mech was a bit chaotic and crude.A huge control panel with a few simple signs was removed and put aside. It was obvious that Xing Tianhe had removed the control panel used in the parade when he came up.The touch displays on the four walls and the ceiling are also activated, and traces of dust can still be seen on the corners.

"I met your teacher when I went to pick up the mecha." Xing Tianhe flew the mecha far away while controlling it, and said, "He and your classmate are in the rescue together."

"That's good." Qi Yue let out a long breath.Although she had inferred just now, she was not sure after all. "Are there many survivors?"

"It's hard to say." Xing Tianhe's complexion was not good, it could even be said to be gloomy. "However, I overturned a lot of flying tracks, and there are only four survivors in total including you. You have the most people on board."

Qi Yue nodded, and calmly connected McDull's system with the mech system, "Did you change the system?"

When Xing Tianhe heard her asking, he looked a little strange: "Please help me to change it, it's too troublesome."

After hearing this, Qi Yue gave him a surprised look.

The parade mech's system is completely different from the battle mech's.Compared with when the mecha was adopted and modified, not only the appearance changed, but also the interior was adjusted appropriately to adapt to the more popular and simple operation.

However, the predecessor of this mech was a combat mech, and it was estimated that it was refitted and put into commercial use after it was retired.Habitually, the original combat system has not been erased, it is only temporarily hidden.So if you want to use it again, you only need to restart the self-test and switch the system.

She only found out after checking it after connecting.

However, Xing Tianhe said trouble?If it is troublesome, is it troublesome to use the parade system to perform his current complicated operations?Every ups and downs and movements must be operated in a roundabout way.I'm afraid it's Xing Tianhe who can do such a thing, and other people will probably get mad when they see the system.

Xing Tianhe glanced at the thoughtful Qi Yue with a stern face, and suddenly changed the topic: "Have you told your friend?"

"Huh? Oh, I told you, they won't leave the building." Qi Yue said, "Find a place, and I'll switch the system for you."

"Don't worry, I'll fly out of the area covered by the artificial light source soon, wait for me to find a high point with a good view and land, and then switch."

After another six shuttles, they finally landed on the highest peak of a green hill.This place is far away from the light source, shrouded in darkness, and the surroundings are so quiet that there is only the sound of wind.Qi Yue removed the shading coating on the top, so that the starlight in the sky can be seen directly.

"You won't believe it..." Qi Yue finally murmured.

"What?" Xing Tianhe asked.

"We are now in star region R, [-] light-years away from Tang Xingyuan's location, which is almost half the span of the Small Magellanic Cloud."

R star area... Hearing these words, Xing Tianhe had a bad feeling.

When the shuttle came again, the time in the wormhole had been reduced to 1 minute and 30 seconds. After passing through, Qi Yue positioned herself again.

"It's still in the R star zone, but it's already at the junction with the Q star zone."

Xing Tianhe watched her activate the holographic projector inside the mech, and a star map of an area instantly appeared in front of him.He watched Qi Yue skillfully marked the location, time, etc. on it, and asked, "Can you find the pattern?"

"Not yet." Qi Yue pulled out another panel and wrote down some data: "Just now, the time when Tang Xing's first shuttle took place has been recorded. At that time, Tang Xing suddenly broke away from the shackles of his original central star. Centripetal force, it will move in a straight line at a constant speed along the tangent direction at the current speed. This speed can be calculated from the time, and then... Theoretically, if we can grasp the destination law of the wormhole shuttle, we can go back to the departure coordinates. By adding the time variable, you can get the coordinates at any time...."

"What if there are no rules?" Xing Tianhe pushed her forehead hair and asked in a deep voice.

Qi Yue stared at him for a while, then said word by word: "Then let us pray regularly."

If not, would they just be lost in the universe forever?

Just as the silent and slightly stagnant atmosphere continued to spread, the 31st shuttle came.
