Hao Ren couldn't hear the sound of the huge machines under his feet as the artificial atmosphere disappeared and there was a vacuum, but he knew that the facility had been successfully activated when he saw that the lights on the equipment in front of him were turning on one by one, and the frost covering the roofs and pipes was also shaken off as if fogging.He pressed his hand against the icy wall, and felt a faint to strong sound coming from the depths of the building, and then the tremor began to subside again—a huge machine was running, and it was slowly entering a stable state."
These things actually work," Lily stuck out her tongue in surprise, "I thought they were all frozen inside." ”Hao Ren didn't say a word, just carefully studied the various indicator markers on the nearby equipment and the prompts that popped up from the small displays, he didn't know anything about this unfamiliar system, and he didn't know how much damage it had accumulated during the thousands of years of shutdown, so he was worried about what emergency would happen during the system start-up.Luckily, it didn't seem difficult to figure out the prompts on these devices: presumably considering that it would be a long voyage and that the operators would not necessarily retain the full knowledge of the voyage after a few generations, the designers of the giant ship had made the ship's control systems simple and easy to understand, with most of the machines running autonomously and the parts that required human operation to be explained succinctly.As the vibrations from the depths of the ground became calmer, the main power furnace and generator seemed to be functioning normally, and the various equipment in the control room lit up one by one, and the busy flashing indicators showed the restart and self-check progress of the various equipment.A rectangular silver-white metal plate slowly rose from the main console in front of Hao Ren, and the operation status of all units emerged from this metal plate: "The main generator has been restarted, and the ecological computer has entered the restart process and is taking over the emergency system to accumulate data......
System error, emergency system accumulated data is deleted, transfer to a special process, reset the eco-host to β mode......"
When the eco-host slowly recovered from hibernation, Hao Ren found the reset function of the local facility eco-mode on the console, he pressed the button, and a new window popped up on the monitor: "Checking the status of the central control station......
Serious mistake!
Atmospheric pressure not checked!
Multiple leaks were found!
The central control station has entered a state of partition blockade, and the atmosphere is being reconstructed......
All personnel immediately evacuated each connecting section and entered the nearest sealed cabin, repeating, all personnel immediately evacuated each connecting section and entered the nearest sealed cabin......"
A series of automatic procedures began to be executed, and the corner of Hao Ren's eyes saw through the large glass window on the side of the control room that several gates outside were closing one by one, and then the ventilation system of each cabin was operational.A faint stream of air and a slight pressure came from the skin: the environment of the place began to recover.The place where Hao Ren and his entourage were located was originally called the "Central Control Station", but now it seems that the ecosystem of this place is independent from the outside, so when the atmospheric environment of the entire city has disappeared, it has returned to normal atmospheric pressure within a minute.The data terminal checked the composition of the surrounding air, and found that although it was different from the earth, a group of supermen could still breathe smoothly, so they asked everyone to temporarily turn off the function of the life support collar."
Whew-" Lily let out a comfortable sigh, "I finally don't have to talk on the communicator anymore." ”"I'm looking for something like a hostlog," Hao Ren muttered as he fiddled around with the console, "trying to figure out what the hell was going on here......
However, the log files appear to have been corrupted. ”At this time, a soft system prompt sounded, and the eco-host finally completed all the self-test processes and returned from hibernation to the so-called β mode.It then began to check the status of the city inside the ship - of course, the machine immediately began to frantically alarm the people.A series of red warning lights lit up in the various sections of the central control station, and the piercing alarm bells sounded loudly in the sections that had recovered the atmospheric environment, and Hao Ren heard a mechanical and heavily distorted synthesized pitch alarm in the voice: "Serious malfunction!"
Urban Ecosystem Downtime!
Serious malfunction!
Urban Ecosystem Downtime!
Operators above the second level immediately enter the work, and the operators above the second level immediately enter the work......"
Hao Ren casually turned off these irritating alarms and began to work on restoring the artificial atmosphere of the city inside the ship, but when he activated this function, an unexpected error message popped up: "Fatal error, no atmospheric circulation pump and atmospheric storage facilities were found." ”"What's going on?"
Vivien didn't quite understand what was going on."
It's like two things that are particularly important when you hear them are missing."
Hao Ren frowned and fiddled with the console for a while, and finally found the function of switching the monitoring window, and the monitoring images of some important facilities immediately popped up on the main screen.He saw a huge gap between a pile of pipes and machinery in one of the images, and it was clear that someone had removed something there.And as more surveillance footage returned, he found that there was more than one similar situation.He asked the main host of the control station to check all the systems one by one, so a series of dumbfounded error messages popped up in a queue: "Fatal error, no ...... of the core unit of water circulation purification was found" "Fatal error, no ...... of the thermostat controller and related servo units were found" "Fatal error, no signal ...... in the keel mechanical compartment from B-2 to C-12" "More than half of the important facilities have been dismantled......"
Hao Ren dragged the monitoring screen of the relevant area to the center of the main display one by one, " The ship's life-support system was almost dismantled into empty hulls. ”As he spoke, he fumbled around the console until he stumbled upon an unrelated small device, and a metal plate next to the main monitor suddenly brightened, interrupted by a sound and image.On the small monitor appeared an old man, dressed in a commander's uniform, with medals and insignia on his chest, and his face was not arrogant - it was the old man who had been reduced to an ice sculpture on the operating seat.This is a video record, which is supposed to have been left in the last moments of his life.“…… Info Code......
Forget it, this is the Mountains, Lord Ghosn?
Hillen records here.The countdown to the shutdown orders is expected to be shut down in 10 minutes.The previously agreed distribution plan is repeated: the atmospheric circulation pump is assigned to the Long Night, the atmospheric storage facility is assigned to the Yongge, the thermostat and its servo units are assigned to the Daylight, and the water circulation purification unit and all the mechanical warehouses are dedicated to our king, and may he and his great ship of the throne be in eternal well.As planned, I have already blown 'gas' into the atmospheric circulation pump, so please wait twenty-four hours after this message is sent until the purification pump has finished filtering and recovering the atmosphere......
Ho ......"
The old man in the video took a few deep breaths, and he calmed down again: "The propulsion crew of this ship will be retained and will continue to follow the fleet until all systems are destroyed."
I'm now a mountain lord, Ghosn?
In the name of Grand Duke Heeron, he declares: After my death, all the property of this ship will be returned to our great kingdom, including the propulsion crew, the core reactor, and everything in the hull......
Ho......
Dismantling the ship's ......
Remaining components.To our king, the message ends. ”The small monitor dimmed, and the brief message ended.Hao Ren and the others looked at each other, and Lily was the first to break the silence: "Did they disassemble the parts on their spaceship to others?"
”"These ships have a limited lifespan, and with their technical skills, it's a miracle that they've been able to sail to this day," the data terminal said slowly, "and the second half of this voyage is definitely fraught with danger, and various system failures are the most common and difficult to solve."
And as long as the mass extinction caused by the god-killing continues, there is no possibility of them stopping to recuperate, so the only solution is to keep the parts that can still be used together, and at least ensure the integrity of the ecosystem of a few ships. ”Hao Ren shook his head: "But the population that can feed is getting smaller and smaller. ”"So those who are chosen to sacrifice can only be euthanized," Nangong May bit her lip, not knowing how to evaluate this matter, she thought of the frozen city of death outside, and the victims who died peacefully and solemnly in the banquet hall in gorgeous clothes, "How long have they held out in this way?"
”Hao Ren shook his head: "No matter how long you hold on, it doesn't seem to have been able to hold out until we come."
Nolan had previously sent messages to all the Arks, and there was no response. ”Everyone fell silent, feeling deep regret, but the data terminal seemed to suddenly discover: "Wait a minute, there should still be survivors!"
