The explosion caused by the demonic flames shattered the entire gate, and even half of the corridor shook violently, and when the choking smoke finally dissipated, Hao Ren took the lead with his shield on his head, and was the first to enter the control center of the ship.Behind the gates is a large, bright chapel-like hall with irregular polygonal shapes, and in addition to the almost signature sculptures, there are many oddly shaped controls and projection devices, all of which are arranged in concentric circles, layered in three rings.The equipment has been carefully decorated and designed, and although it can be seen as a machine, it is more like a ritual vessel used in some kind of religious ceremony.This style can be found throughout the ship, so there's not much to worry about.The dome of the hall is towering, and in its ceiling there are three large circular openings, from which bright beams of light shine through, and the finished glyphs are arranged in the center of the innermost circle of equipment in the hall.Those pillars of light were floating with a dazzling array of data and graphs, which were still refreshing rapidly when Hao Ren entered the hall - if yes, this should be the display interface of the ship's main control system.Hao Ren was on his guard, just in case there was an auto-response alert device or a sentry robot or something like that, but he had not been attacked by the three huge pillars of light, and it seemed that the ship's warning device in the core area had gone offline.He stood in front of the three giant pillars of light, looking curiously at the constantly refreshing characters on them, and since he had never been exposed to the technology of the Rebel, he didn't know what the state of the thing was.The data terminal parsed the information on the light column a little: "It's the self-test program of the core host, which has been stuck, and is repeating several threads."
It could be that something went wrong in the process of trying to restart. ”Hao Ren sighed casually, curiously walked between those control devices, he saw that many of the control devices around the light pillar were still lit, and the operation panels of those devices were unique: the operation panels of most devices were several crystal strips arranged in parallel, and between the crystal bars there were red rays like strings, and those lights were input devices, Hao Ren let the data terminal confirm the function of one of the devices and then carefully put his hand on its panel, as if playing a piano and plucked one" Light strings", and the light on a nearby ceiling dimmed – a fun way to do it.Despite the suffering of the universe of paranoia and folly of the rebels, Hao Ren had to admit that they may be a species with a unique talent for art—if only they could use their talents in a slightly more normal place.At this moment, Lily suddenly shouted from a few rows of equipment: "Landlord landlord!
There's a corpse here, there's a corpse here!
”As soon as Hao Ren heard this, he was suddenly excited, and he ran over there, only to see Lily pointing to the open space between the two controllers: "Look!
”Hao Ren looked in the direction of her finger and saw a man in a gorgeous short robe lying face down on the floor, his body twisted into a strange position, obviously dead for a long time.This unexpected discovery made Hao Ren and Yitzax stunned, they didn't expect that there was still a corpse on this battleship that had been empty, and they were afraid that this dead crew member would be able to uncover the secret of the emergency evacuation of the spaceship crew.Izax stepped forward and carefully turned the body over, and the moment they saw the state of the corpse, all three of them let out a surprised "huh".The dead were a commander-like "rebel" officer, a race that was handsome from top to bottom, so there was no need for an additional description of his appearance.The circumstances of his death were quite peculiar: the corpse was pale, with sunken eyes, wrinkled skin, and obvious signs of dehydration, which seemed to indicate that the man had suffered severe blood loss before his death.And what is even more concerning is the expression of this man: frightened, extremely indescribable horror, his eyes are almost completely protruding from their sockets, his mouth is wide as if it is about to tear out his chin, every inch of muscle lines on his face are engraved with fear, the eyes that have lost their luster are chaotic, and the whites of his eyes are bloodshot.One of his hands was pressed to his heart, and the other was strangely twisted behind his back, as if trying to grasp something.He almost felt like he was scared to death.None of the people at the scene were qualified coroners, so the data terminal took the initiative to check the condition of the body.Hao Ren watched the terminal float in mid-air, and couldn't help but ask eagerly, "What is the cause of death?"
Is it really scared to death?
”"Half of the cause of death was horror, his heart was broken, but the other half was caused by ......
Bleeding.The corpse had lost at least half of its blood, each vein was twisted and deformed to varying degrees, and some of his internal organs seemed to have been heated, and in the denser areas of blood vessels, the internal organs were almost cooked.Truth be told, both of these were fatal factors, and neither of them was sure if he was scared to death first or boiled to death by his own blood first. ”The unsentimental and bland description of the data terminal made Lily stick out her tongue: "Sounds weird." ”"This way of dying is fresh and unconventional," Hao Ren tried to mobilize his brain cells to make this topic seem less curious, but everyone knew his mouth, and this opening directly made Lily flick his tail, "Well, no matter how he died, let's see if there are any other corpses." ”Lily snorted and searched around, but found nothing, and the man lying on the floor seemed to be the only clue here.Hao Ren stood up, thinking about the rebel commander's bizarre state of death while looking thoughtfully at the machines around him that were in standby, and he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there should be something like surveillance in this place, right?"
After all, it's such an advanced spaceship. ”"I'm looking for it, but let's be honest, don't get your hopes up," the data terminal said as it floated toward the center of the hall, "The system here is completely offline, and it's hard to say if there was any data saved at the time of the accident." ”The data terminal came to the middle of the three large pillars of light, and then activated its sensing function, and a large number of tiny pale blue lines suddenly appeared on its silver-white shell, and a light and pleasant sound rippled through the air.The guy who was often used by Hao Ren as a coaster, a brick, a paperweight, a hammer, and a marquee finally had a chance to show off his high-tech potential, and it let its signal fluctuations resonate with the "rudimentary" equipment nearby, and began to invade the ship's nervous system with crushing computing power.With the large-scale invasion of all nearby devices by data terminals, those consoles in standby or dead states were running one by one as if they were resurrected, and Hao Ren's ears rang with the sound of machines and various system sounds.He saw two projectors flickering in front of him, and the holographic image above the device showed a scene of space outside, and the Giant Tortoise Rock appeared in the corner of one of the images: it seemed that the terminal had obtained access to an external monitor.The data terminal first tried to reset the status of the ship's main engine and gain control of the entire warship, but it found that the ship's main engine mode was a bit special, and it might take some time to take over completely.Hao Ren and the others waited patiently beside them, and as the terminal said, they didn't have much hope.But today seemed like a lucky day, and it didn't take long for the data terminal to shout happily: "Found it!"
”Hao Ren snapped his fingers: "Received the big projection." ”The terminal took over control of one of the three large beams, temporarily shielding the host status reports that were constantly being refreshed on the beams, and then transferring the surveillance system to the screen.The image on the pillar of light shook slightly, but quickly stabilized, and it began to play a video that had been left behind not long ago, and Hao Ren saw that it was the scene in the control hall, and that it had been left before the crew abandoned the ship and escaped.The control hall was a busy scene, the rebel officers were busy giving orders and making plans on the command ship, and in front of each workstation sat a stern-looking operator, which, judging by their actions, was clearly in the area of engagement, and was probably engaged in a battle.Hao Ren and the others watched this scene intently, wanting to see what caused the huge change in the spaceship.They then see a cloud of liquid suddenly appear in the center of the frame.
