Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 277: Brain-eating insect mother nest (3/3, w word update!)
"Mr. Guide? Are you all right?"
At this moment, Andor's voice sounded.
When the pirate captain saw that Yin En dared to connect directly to the data cable of the ruins, what flashed in his mind was, "How dare he be so bold?" ! ’ and ‘Hey, didn’t you arrest me for an experiment? ’ Such complicated thinking.
Although Andor is a pirate, he is actually quite concerned about the information about the maze. After all, in the continent of Terra, there are too many news about getting rich overnight because of the maze, and it has become an informal inheritance of all. Opportunities for sublimators to fight hard.
Among the legends circulated among adventurers, there are many situations in which sublimated people thought they could master the maze, but were killed by the self-discipline facilities inside the maze.
There are even legends that some powerful adventurers defeated the monsters and guardian puppets all the way, and finally reached the center of the maze. A new maze master has been appointed to guard the maze from generation to generation.
Of course, this legend is too exaggerated, among other things, life after life is obviously impossible.
Andor thought that Yin En brought him here just to test how to connect to this relic interactive system!
In fact, Yin En has indeed done it, but it is in the future of predicting the future.
Because there is no danger and there are many benefits, he will do it by himself.
——The Prophet can conduct trial and error reverse chronological experiments without actual operation!
In short, Andor has been staring at the boy's expression nervously.
But then, he saw that Yin En's expression gradually changed from excitement and anticipation to the current expression like ice.
This difference made him terrified—what indescribable things did he see that could make this overly strong genius of the Bai people show such and such, even a faint expression of despair?
Could it be that...they can no longer leave this ruin and go to the surface? !
Andor's voice woke Yin En up from his contemplation.
He reacted, knowing that his previous expression revealed his true emotions, and he could understand Andor's worries, so the boy sighed and replied: "It's nothing, don't worry."
"I just... feel that this ruin is too depressing and too dark."
Leaving the trace of despair behind him, Yin En decided not to think about this issue any more.
Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, no matter whether the destruction in the starry sky is about to come to Terra-whether his guess is right or wrong, all of this is meaningless to him now.
All one can do is to strengthen one's confidence and face it all.
Moreover, to be honest, whether it is interstellar dust or cosmic natural disasters, there is actually one doubtful point... that is, according to them, Terra should be the center of this dust area and destruction area.
Otherwise, the spherical star map of the entire star field will not gradually dim in the same rhythm... But why is Terra the center?
The most taboo thing for human beings is unreasonable arrogance. The destruction in the universe has never had anything to do with who is who. There must be a reason behind this.
This is why Yin En didn't deny that there might be some kind of barrier blocking the entire star field until the end.
It's like a prison for the sky.
But this conjecture also has loopholes, because if there is really something covering the entire star field from the Oort cloud, then the disappearance of the starry sky should be very regular and sequential, but this is not the case.
The disappearance of the stars is one on the left, and then another. Obviously, the stars in the distance disappear first, and then the light cannot shine on Terra.
Of course, it is also possible that two events happened at the same time... The entire Terra star field is being wrapped, and at the same time, the distant stars are also imprisoned by the Prisoner Prison, which is why the current situation is caused.
Just...
"If this is the case, how can anyone and civilization resist the existence of the ability to create such a cosmic spectacle?"
Shaking his head slightly, after satisfying his curiosity, Yin En should also face the reality.
"Detect the heat dissipation of the base's power source and the cooling system."
Give instructions to the central control room, and Yin En quickly got the answers he needed.
[The heat dissipation of the power source of the base: critical! Furnace cores numbered 1~7 cannot dissipate heat normally, furnace cores numbered 11~15 are on the verge of melting, and fuel rods have come into contact with cooling water! Please immediately clear all the people and creatures in the surrounding sea area, start the emergency natural heat dissipation process, and send maintenance engineering equipment for emergency repairs! 】
【Cooling system status: good operation, 73% vacancy rate】
[--Warning, warning! ——]
[It is detected that the heat dissipation data does not match the cooling system operation data, and the system self-test is performed...The test is successful! 】
【No exception】
"?"
Yin En blinked, he was sure that what he saw was no abnormality and not a danger warning, and he was immediately surprised: "Can this also be normal? Are you kidding, what are the reasons?"
"The cooling system with a vacancy rate of 73% and abnormal heat dissipation, what is normal? And this base full of parasites is basically a chassis full of cockroaches. There is a dragon and a dragon in your cooling warehouse The corpse of a big moth, isn't that unusual?!"
"Not to mention that the furnace core is on the verge of melting, and the fuel rods are in contact with the cooling water. Isn't this the diffusion of polluting radiation?! Why is there no abnormality?!"
"Detailed self-test!"
Yin En ordered in a strict voice, he was annoyed by the word "no exception" - the most annoying thing about being a maintenance engineer is knowing that there are a lot of problems in the project itself, and then the system self-test tells you that there is no abnormality... how much is this? belongs to yes.
But this kind of situation happens often!
However, Yin En is also very clear that this must have been done by the Great Elder at the beginning... He must have tampered and damaged the system, otherwise, such a non-abnormal conclusion would not have emerged.
Soon, the results of the detailed self-inspection will come out.
[The cooling system cannot communicate with the furnace core for heat dissipation——Warning——The cooling system cannot communicate with the furnace core for heat dissipation]
【Please grant mandatory connection permission】
Such a huge scarlet warning flashed three times in front of Yin En's eyes, but it made the boy heave a sigh of relief: "Sure enough, I said there is a problem."
"Grant the compulsory connection permission, and start the cooling process of the core energy furnace."
After giving this order, Yin En waited for a while.
And then, as expected.
[Abnormality in China Unicom—the interaction port of the water-cooling cladding of the second and third circuits of the 11~15 power group is blocked by an unknown structure! Unable to force connection! 】
"Sure enough." The boy sighed: "I knew it wasn't that simple—if it was really that simple, the base's automatic control system would have already dealt with it."
"The interaction port of the water cooling layer is blocked, so the solid cladding, liquid cladding and other proliferating structures cannot be cooled, and emergency forced heat dissipation can only be activated, and the heat is not used to generate electricity through the heat exchange process, but directly The heat is exposed to the sea... This is the truth of the South China Sea storm."
"In addition, part of the furnace core has been dissolved, and the cooling water has been polluted, but no one has repaired it. The system is stuck and cannot be opened, closed, or even cooled!"
"Actually, for this kind of super-large unmanned base, the dissolution of a few furnace cores will not affect the continued operation of other power groups. The polluted cooling water can still be cooled. Anyway, there is no one...but the process is stuck , so that the heat continues to accumulate, and even spread to other power groups, causing abnormalities."
"This is the great storm, the origin of the abnormality of the ruins!"
Yin En used the highest management authority to check the cooling system work log of the base. He did see that the Sequoia base had been activated several times for emergency response, but it was still unable to operate successfully——interaction interface The facilities and cameras over there have been completely destroyed, and the situation cannot be seen at all, and it is completely impossible to deal with it.
Most likely, the automatic repair handler is also damaged, making self-repair impossible at all.
As a maintenance engineer in his previous life, Yin En knew it. This is why there were a large number of auxiliary maintenance AIs on the colonial rockets back then, but an engineer who was not at all important like him was still needed.
Because, there are some problems that only humans can deal with.
However, what is blocking the water-cooling interface?
Slowly thinking about the future action plan, Yin En couldn't help but have a question in his mind: "Generally speaking, the water in the water cooling layer needs to be recycled. After all, seawater has too many impurities and cannot be used for direct power generation. , there must be a set of distillation purification process..."
"Wait..."
Yin En suddenly thought of the artificial river surrounding the sacrificial site... and the river of parasites he saw when he entered the cave area.
Metal-based life requires high heat... Brain-eating insects need running water to reproduce in large numbers... Sequoia Base is originally a research base for alien ecosystems dominated by metal-based life... The brain-eating insect's original body is a symbiosis Brain slugs are psychic lifeforms artificially transformed by the elders of Sequoia, which can communicate and erode most creatures through neural electrical signals and psychic energy...
The mine-hunting jellyfish that uses the strongest neuroelectric signal is also one of the research results of Sequoia Base...
If it is said that the great elder of Sequoia back then, in order to allow the brain-phagating worms to have the ability to survive independently and maintain their own immortality as low as possible, they used the technology of the Sequoia base to carry out relevant life form transformations on the brain-phagating worms ...
"Yes..."
All the information is being summarized, Yin En muttered to himself: "I know what is blocking the water change..."
He raised his head, his eyes flickered: "It's a bug nest!"
"It's the mother's nest of brain-eating worms!"
"Base map!" Without the slightest hesitation, Yin En immediately called up the base map from the base system.
In the past 1,600 years, many passages and areas have changed, but as long as the original map exists, Yin En can compare some of the ruins maps he has recorded so far, and judge where he can go and where he cannot Walk.
Soon, Yin En, who used the silver chip to record all the maps, found his current location 'central control room' and the 'fast transfer channel' where Yisen and Master Gosse were before. .
The original name of the sacrificial place, 'Temporary Transit Center', was also displayed in Yin En's eyes.
Basically, the main control center of the Sequoia base still controls the system of the entire ruins group. Yin En even saw that some sensing devices still exist, but the area that has been occupied by monsters is marked as 'the third level of biochemical pollution. '.
However...
Yin En also saw a special red logo.
[Unknown identity intruder detected]
Yin En concentrated his energy, mobilized the information, observed the situation, and then understood: "It's the group of exploration teams from Feiyandi."
Flying Flameland's exploration team has retreated all the way since their attempt to chase Yin En and others failed in the Giant Mushroom Cave—they lost several soldiers and a monk from the Spiritual Weapon Church. Now the situation looks like Quite miserable.
But in general, as the main sublimator, they didn't suffer too much loss, so the core combat power was still maintained.
At this moment, this group of people is heading towards the square in the central area little by little. The lower two floors there are one of the main roads leading directly to the sacrificial place.
Yin En thought about it and decided to show them a way.
"Close the B-32 channel, open the H-17 entrance and exit, empty the accumulated water in the H-55 underwater channel, and float the pipeline."
With such an order, Yin En has no mercy in his heart: "Prepare them a passage directly to the area of the water-cooling interface—since they are here to investigate the relics, and they promised to destroy them if they can't get them... I will give you a relic-destroying bug nest opportunity.”
"I hope you don't die too quickly, and have the power to realize your bold words."
It is rare for Yin En to have such great malice towards a group of people, and it is also a novel experience.
At the gate of the Crystal Road, Andor waited patiently for a long time.
Until Yin En got up and unplugged the data cable from the back of his neck.
In the boy's eyes, there is a huge amount of data light flow up and down. Yin En, who has recorded most of the valuable information in the Sequoia Base with a silver chip, closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, as if he was experiencing a lot of data. A sense of aggregation of information.
Then, he opened his eyes and said calmly: "Let's go and find Shasha, my goal has been accomplished."
"Now it's time to go back and fix everything once and for all."
The pirate captain naturally nodded, and Yin En was about to leave the main control room.
Before leaving, the boy turned his head and looked at the five elder corpses behind him.
Thousands of years have passed by, no matter how big the turmoil has been in this place in the past, and how many people have sacrificed passionately to fight against the unprecedented enemy, this ruin will eventually return to silence, just like the ebb and flow of the tide.
And now, it's just the gears of the times, and it happens to happen to him.
"I'll wrap things up."
Yin En spoke calmly, facing the phantom thousands of years ago, and also said to himself: "It's not for you, nor for myself."
"Just because, I also believe in the future."
After speaking, the young man turned his head, his body was hidden in the light of the crystal channel, and the door of the main control room behind him was slowly closed.
He embarked on a new journey.
