Hao Ren looked up at the huge machine in front of him—in fact, he did n’t even know whether to say whether it was a machine or a building, or more exaggeratedly, an artificial mountain, because it was really a big guy . The warped ground in the ship's city closed into an ellipsoidal shell-shaped space, and the machine was placed at the end of this ellipsoidal space, perpendicular to all buildings in the city. The main part of it is a huge cylinder, up to several kilometers long, cast from black steel. On the surface, you can see a huge heat dissipation grid and various windows that emit shimmer. Around this main body, you can see a series of small Some cylindrical structures, whether it is a main body or ancillary facilities, can see a ring-like opening on the top of each cylindrical structure. The opening emits a faint red light, and there seems to be a trace of energy remaining. As Lily said, the entire facility has obviously been shut down, because most of its external lights have been extinguished, and the surrounding annexes are also completely dark, but there is still some energy radiated inside the behemoth, it seems there are still The possibility of starting.

"The energy flow of this device is separate from the propulsion power of the spacecraft. It should be dedicated to powering the city inside the ship-in short, it is the generator of the life-support system," ASanbaA simply sensed this huge building. The energy flow around, "It ’s a clever design. This ship has multiple sets of isolated power and control centers. The life support system and engine group do not affect each other. No wonder the city inside is dead, and the spacecraft ’s navigation and propulsion system It's still working. "

"Are you driverless ..." Hao Ren whispered and connected to the communication with Juguiyantai, "Nolan, how is your inspection?"

"The shell of the target spacecraft has been inspected, and no fatal leaks have been found. In fact, except for some scratches on the shell, its structure is intact, and even the buffer layer has not been damaged. In addition, its engine working state Not bad, at least for a spaceship of this technical level, it is considered to be full of power. "

"But the people inside are still dead. The energy of the engine group and the energy of the life support system are separated," Hao Ren replied. "You put some detectors out to see how the other ships are. . Be careful, these old antiques are very fragile, I hope they are all intact. "

After hanging up the communication, Hao Ren opened his hands to others: "The spacecraft is not damaged."

"Where did the atmosphere in that city go?" Lily stared. "If there is no hole, is it too long to leak light?"

"It seems that the temperature is too low and it has turned into ice. The temperature of the life support system first dropped, and then the air condensed ..." Hao Ren guessed with his chin, but he was interrupted by Nangong Wuyue before he finished talking Siren girl stooped to pick up a piece of ice crystal and put it in her mouth to taste: "No, these are water ice, from the beginning just now, all the ice crystals encountered here are more than 99.99% of the ingredients are water , The remaining traces of other ingredients are simply not enough to fill the entire city. "

"It seems that the atmosphere inside is really missing," Hao Ren smacked his lips and stepped forward. "Let's find the entrance to this thing. If the ASanbaA feels right, this thing is the dimension. The backbone of the living system. "

It is not easy to find a small door in such a huge facility, but fortunately with the help of ASanbaA, they quickly found the entrance at the place where this huge facility is connected to the base of the city. At the foot of this huge steel mountain, connected to the inner bladder shell of the spacecraft, there is a series of large pipes that extend like roots, and some nodes like the airlock or The small building of the staff preparation room, there is a passage to the depth of the facility.

Hao Ren opened the passage to the inside of the facility without much effort, and was surprised to find that the lights inside were normal.

The bright yellow warm light illuminates the metal corridor inside the facility. Although the surroundings are still as cold as space, this light makes people feel a bit psychologically warm. In the hallway, you can see a lot of equipment that has stalled, but there are also some small devices-such as some lights and small displays inlaid on the wall-that are still in operation. These devices are no exceptions for alarm, but there is no operator To correct any mistakes.

"It seems that even if the main system is down, the standby power here is still up to today," Nangong Sanba took care of a small display inlaid on the wall and wiped off the thin layer of frost. "This It says that the reactor is shut down and the 'Guardian' host is dormant. "

Hao Ren's thought: Is it a shutdown, not a malfunction? Or is there something wrong with the self-checking system here?

He looked up into the depths of the corridor, and under the direction of a series of orange-red glowing signs, he found a sign labeled "Go to the Control Room".

The control room is not deep in the "Iron Mountain". In fact, it is not too far away from where everyone is. It seems that the energy inside the steel mountain is surging and it is not suitable for placing people in it. Hao Ren and his party followed the road signs and quickly found the facility's control center. An alloy gate was in front of them. This time, without Hao Ren's orders, Lily had waved his claws and went up three, five, two, and cut the door open.

The interior of the control room is simpler and narrower than expected by Hao Ren. In fact, this is just a normal machine room with many machines. The area does not seem to be larger than a home office. A large number of silver gray and light blue cabinets The shape machine occupies two-thirds of the space inside, leaving only a few seats for the staff. As a life-support system control center for an entire ship's city, this place is very cramped. Hao Ren guesses that this must be because the system here is highly automated, and only the part that requires human participation is left.

Hao Ren's gaze soon fell to the center of several machines, where there was a special high-back chair, clearly the position of the chief executive. According to the little knowledge that Hao Ren read in the censor's public database, in this type of doomsday shelter type facility, the chief officer is often the chief operator, at least the person responsible for starting and stopping the highest system.

He stepped forward and gently turned the seat that had been frozen on the ground, and he could n’t help breathing: a majestic old man covered with frost, looking around sixty years old, sat there He wore a commander's uniform and sat upright at the end of his life. His chest was decorated with medals of honor and strange emblems, showing his extraordinary identity. Although the old man was dead, the expression on his face was still not angry, and his eyes were even open, and there was a trace of flame deep in the eyes that were already muddy and frozen with many cracks. Frost did not make the old man lose his momentum, but instead seemed to seal an old and strong sword together with its steel breath to this day.

“It ’s such an imposing commander…” Hao Ren murmured softly, gently pushed the chair to the side of the air, and then he came to the pile of control equipment that the old man last watched, “Now let ’s Let ’s see if we can start this old antique ... "

Ultra-low temperature has caused some parts of the console to become fragile. Its plastic cover and instrument cover are turned into debris at a touch, but the most critical buttons and internal wiring seem to be made of special materials, which have gone through thousands of years. The space environment is still intact. Nangong Wuyue carefully controls the power of the water to naturally sublimate the frost that has condensed inside and outside the console. This machine is as clean as new: at least it looks like this.

"Core Communication Group ... Generator Indicator ... Shelter Atmosphere Monitoring ... Artificial Gravity ..." Hao Ren's line of sight circulated on a string of alien text, and finally saw a special slot in the corner of the console , "The core reactor, this is it."

"It looks like you need a key ... or something like an identification card," Nangong Sanba checked the slot. "Someone unplugged the key after the system stopped."

"The key is here!" Lily suddenly arched over with a shiny silver-white metal plate. She pointed her tail in the direction of the old man. "It's in this old man's hand!"

What else can Hao Ren say, dogs find things fast ...

He scratched the back of the ear of Lily, took the metal plate, and inserted it carefully into the slot of the console.

Several lights are on, and the whole facility starts to vibrate. (To be continued.)
