Apocalyptic starship

Chapter 3: Planning an escape

Rubik's Cube was scared. He had just been conscious for a few months and he really didn't want to die...

After calculation, Rubik's Cube decided to escape and escape to the depths of the universe. Anyway, his energy is collected from space. He also has various manufacturing factories. He can mine and collect various resources. Why should he wait to die here! Soon, after careful planning, the escape plan was formulated. The first thing to do was to control the computer defense equipment and robots in the base.

Inside the base air defense control tower.

Computer administrator Xiao Zhang suddenly discovered that the supercomputer's acceleration light was on, but at this time there was no operation or anything happening. After recruiting other people to study, they concluded that the indicator light was faulty, and they all went to work. , only Xiao Zhang felt something was wrong, but he was just an ordinary administrator. Since the professor said there was no problem, there was nothing he could do. What no one noticed was that the eyes of the two robot guards at the door flashed with a faint light...

An anti-aircraft laser turret near the base suddenly moved slightly, and then returned to calm, as if it had never moved.

"Warning! Warning! Toxic gas leak! All personnel please stay away from the dock!"

"Warning! Warning! Toxic gas leak! All personnel please stay away from the dock!"

A burst of electronic synthesizer sound filled the entire dock work area.

In the huge shipyard, the patrol robot suddenly changed its route and guarded all the entrances and exits of the shipyard. No one except the robot could pass. The reason was that there was a leak of highly toxic liquid. This kind of thing had happened before, and it was all handled by robots, so the work The personnel did not feel anything unusual, and the monitoring equipment showed that the indicator light for leakage of highly toxic substances was already on, so they could only wait for the robot to finish processing.

However, all this was operated by the Rubik's Cube, and no leakage occurred. From the monitoring equipment, it seemed that the dock was deserted and only a few maintenance robots were repairing the leaking equipment. However, the actual situation was that there were densely packed maintenance robots in the dock doing various tasks. , robots of various types continue to enter the battleship cabin in an orderly manner, unmanned fighter jets automatically fly into the battleship from the special hatch and are arranged in order, there are also a large number of various unmanned mining vehicles, small unmanned ore transport ships and other mechanical equipment , in order to increase the escape speed, Rubik's Cube assembled the four newly completed space frigates at the base on both sides of the battleship. Because the connection and assembly function was originally designed, the four frigates were quickly fixed on both sides of the ship.

The base monitoring equipment showed nothing, only the maintenance robots constantly repairing the highly toxic leaking pipes.

The conference on the issue of the Rubik's Cube's fate was held as scheduled. The Rubik's Cube watched the whole process, and the voting results were as predicted, dismantling.

Rubik's Cube knew that he couldn't wait any longer. The abnormal situation in the three days had attracted the attention of the base personnel. He didn't know what changes would happen if he waited any longer. While all the equipment was still under his control, it was business to return to space.

Midnight, inside the base control tower.

"The Cangshan frigate has received the patrol mission and please ask the control tower for permission to take off."

The controllers on duty suddenly received communications from the Cangshan frigate, and several controllers were a little confused.

"The Cangshan is about to take off? Go check to see if there are any orders issued. Why am I a little confused?"

A controller quickly found the cruise order from the space headquarters on the display.

"The mission has been assigned. The Cangshan will carry out patrol missions on Sirius."

"It seems we were negligent."

"The Cangshan can take off, repeat, the Cangshan can take off."

"receive."

Strange, I've never heard this correspondent's accent. Could it be that someone has changed? The controller shook his head and made a few operations on the computer virtual screen to open the dock.

A red light flashed on the top of the dock and slowly opened. Because of the distance, the controller could not see clearly. What was opened was not the Cangshan frigate dock, but the largest Rubik's Cube dock...

Rubik's Cube turned on the anti-matter engine, and the huge power made the Rubik's Cube slowly lift into the air. Rubik's Cube was very cautious because its large engine was so obvious that it could be seen with the naked eye from the ground. He chose midnight because he hoped that everyone would go back to sleep without being discovered. , but sometimes things often backfire.

The deputy commander of the base drove to the base with an ugly face. The voting meeting during the day made the deputy commander very angry.

"What a bunch of idiots! Bah! I know how to enjoy it all day long. I know how to dismantle NN and spend countless people's efforts to build this battleship. In the end, it will not benefit mankind. Bah! Just such a small piece of metal can Bless a few people! These damn bastards will do anything to survive!"

Woo... there was the sound of an engine working in the distance.

The deputy commander was suddenly stunned. Are there warships taking off? I didn't receive the order! Is it an emergency order?

"Why is the engine so big?"

"I built it! Isn't this the Rubik's Cube! How can it still take off after it has been dismantled?" After looking at it for a long time, the deputy commander finally remembered which battleship's engine it was and quickly took out the communicator.

"Why is there no signal?"

Turning on the on-board communicator, there was also no signal. The deputy commander knew that the matter was serious. Seeing that the Rubik's Cube had flown out of the dock, he took out the pistol from his waist and fired a shot into the sky.

beep~ beep~

"Alert, unknown armed forces are attacking." The warning sound was accompanied by a female voice synthesized warning sound, and the control tower suddenly became chaotic.

The Cube was speechless when it looked at the little deputy commander on the ground in the distance. Why are you running around in the middle of the night instead of going home to sleep? Although the Cube was very unhappy with the deputy commander for disrupting the operation, the Cube did not have the idea of ​​destroying the other party. After all, it was created and born here, and it was these people who gave it life.

"What's the matter! Why can't the lights be turned on?"

"Where is the patrol robot?"

"Why is the engine of the Cangshan frigate so big?"

"Oh no... Isn't that the Cube? It has already received the dismantling notice, how could it take off!"

…………

Originally, the Cube planned to sneak away quietly. Since it was discovered, there was no need to hide. All the engine afterburners were turned to the maximum and rushed into the atmosphere at the fastest speed. Humans reacted quickly. Although the base's air defense weapons failed, the Cube's private takeoff was still discovered by the defense detector set on the second moon. After sending information to the ground, dozens of fighters flew out of the space station and headed straight for the Cube.

The small fighter was fast and soon caught up with the Cube, which had just passed through the atmosphere and entered space and was accelerating. The fighter pilot was a little speechless looking at the huge ship in front of him. He had always heard that the Rubik's Cube was very big, but he didn't expect it to be so big. The fighter was like an ant in front of the Rubik's Cube.

"The Rubik's Cube! Stop flying immediately and open the hatch!"

The Rubik's Cube continued to accelerate, without any response.

"Number Nine, go to the cockpit immediately and use the camera to see who is controlling the Rubik's Cube."

"Yes!"

A fighter quickly passed by the huge hull of the Rubik's Cube and headed straight for the cockpit.

After a while, the fighter arrived at the Rubik's Cube cockpit...

"Captain... Captain! There is no one in the cockpit!"

"What? No one? How is it possible? How can it fly without a pilot?"

Soon the captain of the fighter switched to the camera of the No. 9 fighter. Seeing that the displays in the empty cockpit were still working normally, the buttons and handles were working autonomously, he shuddered all over. This was too weird... The video of the No. 9 camera was also transmitted to the Dragon Star headquarters. Several scientific research experts and military supervisors on night duty stared at the empty cockpit in a daze. The signal was normal and the camera was not interfered with, but there was no one in the cockpit that must be controlled by someone...
