Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

In the dark and vast universe, a strange team of exiles is sailing silently. They are formed by some huge aircraft, with a total of more than ten ships, and it seems that they have been sailing for many years. The shape of those aircraft is impressive. They have short and thick shells covered with heavy gray-black armor. The armor can see neat, scale-like additional structures. These scale structures are raised upwards, like It is a lot of blunt triangular short spines. The size of each aircraft is amazing. Its scale is hundreds of kilometers. Due to the thick and gloomy armor, these aircraft look like a group of huge asteroids floating in the universe when they are seen from a distance.

These aircrafts do not know how many years they have been sailing in the universe. They are exceptionally old and run-down. Without exception, the objects in space will not be weathered, but these huge spacecraft have obviously experienced countless impacts, high temperatures, and corrosion And the baptism of the plasma air mass, their uneven armor can be seen everywhere in large and small scrapes and missing parts. On one of the most damaged spaceships, the shell ’s severe wounds even torn off part of the armor layer, exposing The following support structure looks like a sponge-Hao Ren believes that this is probably the result of a powerful meteorite impact, and it may be worse. But even if the situation is so bad, the structure of these spaceships is still basically complete. The sparse lights are distributed along their pothole surfaces, flashing various indicators in space, these lights do not make the whole The fleet seemed more angry, they just made the team look weird and miserable.

But the light also illustrates one thing: these ancient aircraft are still running.

The fleet is advancing at a very slow speed. According to various traces previously found, it should have escaped from hyperspace decades ago, followed by several decelerations, and finally sailed to this low speed until today. The reason for their departure from hyperspace is unclear, because there is nothing in this star zone that allows them to stay: there are no celestial bodies or docks for supply, there are no traces of civilization, some are just nowhere Lilac stardust not present. Perhaps a mechanical failure forced these spacecraft to escape from the speed of light?

The giant turtle rock platform slowly caught up with the fleet from behind the track cloud and approached one of the large aircraft. Although the technology of these aircrafts is relatively primitive, their volume is really huge. The giant turtle rock platform is like a hummingbird hovering over the black armor belt that extends from one to another. Rude ancient structure. There are some band lights flashing slightly on those armored surfaces. The approach of the Giant Turtle Rock Station did not change the flashing pattern of these lights: the aircraft did not respond to the approach of the unidentified spacecraft.

"There is a radar shining on the ship," Nolan ’s holographic projection zoomed into life-size standing next to Hao Ren, she somehow changed herself to wear a uniform image, reporting like a starship adjutant In view of the situation, "there are seven radar sources from three different spacecraft, but other than that, no hostile reaction has been found, and no signal of weapon system activation has been found."

Hao Ren looked at the picture from the external monitor. At this time, the giant turtle rock platform was slowly swiping over a large aircraft, only a few hundred meters away from the latter ’s shell, he saw the rough metal The outer shell slowly recedes on the monitor screen like a piece of steel ground: "Is there a contact signal?"

"No, I have sent an inquiry-the whole frequency band, but I have not received any response," Nolan shook his head, "but I intercepted the signals between these aircraft, they still maintain each other. Communication, just ... "

Hao Ren raised an eyebrow: "Just what?"

Nolan put the intercepted signal on the holographic projection, Hao Ren saw that it was a large number of regular symbols and numbers. When these things moved quickly Roll, he found that all the content was only repeated mechanically.

"Each aircraft is sending these things mechanically. The basic meaning is to confirm their position and system integrity. There is nothing else. I suspect this is an automatic signal."

Nangong Wuyue swings its long tail and crawls to the console with a very interested tone: "So ... ghost ship?"

Hao Ren glanced at her: "How do you say that the ghost ship is so excited when you say the word?"

"Fivety percent of the ghost ship legends in human history were changed by Siren, and the remaining fifty percent were the sailors who drank too high," Nangong Wuyue raised his tail and shook his head, "frightened into a ghost ship. People are our ethnic culture, do you understand ethnic culture? "

"Don't mention this in the Siren, which has never been under the sea for the first half of my life," Hao Ren waved his hand to the Nangong Wuyue, and then nodded to Nolan. "Can you find the entrance to these spaceships?"

"Deep scanning shows that there is a groove at the waistline of the spaceship below, which should be the entrance gate, but the size is not enough for the ship to enter: only a dozen meters wide."

Hao Ren **** mouth: "Huh ... As a huge ship of hundreds of kilometers, this is really a shabby door. Well, let ’s go down, Nolan, you follow our signal, wait for us after we enter. Prepare the teleporter outside to facilitate our evacuation. "

"Are you all going?" Vivian looked at the people on the bridge, and the monsters and ghosts who were eating at Hao Ren's house were all here today.

"Uh ... just a few, you and Lily, and then ..."

Before Hao Ren is finished, Nangong Sanba suddenly stepped forward: "My sister and I should also pass by. Such a place should be used by hunters and Siren."

Hao Ren thought for a while and felt that Nangong Sanba made sense: it was obvious that it was neither a guardian nor a rebellious spaceship, but a group of mortal wanderers who had escaped from the world disaster In the case of the fleet, there is a high probability of becoming a ghost ship. What is needed in this environment is not high combat effectiveness, but people who are good at investigating and searching and adapting to various environments. Nangong March 8 is Demon Hunter, Nangong Wuyue has ever-changing water forms, and it is appropriate to explore the ghost ship.

Hao Ren handed Lil Pea in his hand to "Roll" and turned to walk to the transmission room: "The others are on standby first, let's take a few trips."

The giant turtle rock platform came to the place where it was suspected of entering and exiting the gate, and hovered at a height of more than 100 meters from the "steel earth", while the Hao Ren line appeared on the surface of the mysterious spaceship with a beam of light.

There is almost no gravity on the surface of the spacecraft, and a group of people are advancing with the help of auxiliary propulsion devices. Hao Ren looked up into the distance, and he saw a slightly curved black-gray steel spread out in the field of vision. The distant stars and the light gray interstellar dust cloud hung on the steel like stains on the distant curtain. At the end of the horizon, some sporadic lights dot the several protruding structures in the distance of the earth, shining like a ghost fire.

"Lifeless, lifeless ..." Vivian muttered in the communicator, "I can't feel any breath of life."

Hao Ren pressed the forehead angle: "Terminal, shared vision."

The radar view of ASanbaA immediately overlays his human vision. He sees the "steel earth" in front of him suddenly become a complex layered structure, and many well-organized lines outline these structures under the shell. The details of. He found the location marked as the gate. After leading the team closer, he found that it was a wide **** that sloped down. The **** did not extend very deep. You can see below it is a metal that looks extra heavy barrier.

People came to the metal barrier, and Lily ran around the wall quickly with his paws against the wall, and found nothing suspected of a control device.

"Partner, do you want to explode?" ASanbaA asked casually.

"No, find a normal way," Hao Ren waved his hand, "What if there are still people?"

"I don't like to study this kind of stuff," Lily muttered, "big head."

Hao Ren did n’t say anything, just searched for nearby clues through a shared vision. He can see the mechanical structure under the surrounding metal plates. Under those heavy steel covers, there are some shallow grooves, where pipes and lines are distributed, and some of them should be gate controllers. The ASanbaA is much faster than what he analyzed. Soon the PDA found the place where the switch was suspected to be activated according to the circuit layout around the gate, and marked it in the Hao Ren field of vision with a striking red.

Hao Ren pointed to a metal plate on the wall next to it: "Dig out this place-be careful not to hurt it."

Lily immediately stepped forward, waving his ice and fire claws in a burst of golden light, and quickly removed the metal plate, revealing the complex and obsolete cable and substrate structure behind.

This device uses electricity.

Hao Ren found the key control lines with the help of ASanbaA. He carefully disconnected the two cables from the substrate and beckoned to let Vivian come over: "Discharge, 28 VDC."

Vivian: "..."
