Chapter 934: the truth
Because the artificial atmosphere disappeared, here was a vacuum. Hao Ren couldn’t hear the sound of the huge machine under his feet, but he saw that the lights on the equipment were lit up one by one, and those covered on the roof and the pipes. The frost was also shaken off like a fog, and he knew that the facility had been successfully launched. He pressed his hand on the icy wall, feeling that a weak to strong one was coming from the depths of the building, and then the shock began to weaken a huge machine that was running, and slowly entered a steady state.
"These things can actually be used," Lily said, spit in her tongue. "I thought it was freezing."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, just carefully studied the various indicators on the nearby devices and the prompts from the small screens. He didn't know anything about this strange system, and he didn't know it. How many injuries have accumulated during the millennium shutdown, so he is worried about what emergencies will occur during system startup. Fortunately, it's not difficult to figure out the prompts on these devices: presumably considering that this will be a long voyage, the operators after several generations may not necessarily retain the complete knowledge, so this huge ship The designers strive to make the design of the spacecraft control system easy to understand, most of the machines are automatically running, and the parts that require human operation have clear and concise instructions.
As the vibrations from the depths of the underground became more and more calm, the main power furnace and the generator seemed to be functioning normally. The various devices in the control room were brightened one by one. The busy flashing lights showed various equipment. Restart and self-test progress. Hao Ren slowly raised a rectangular silver-white metal plate on the main console. From this metal plate, the operation status of all the units emerged: "The main generator restarts, the ecological computer enters the restart process, and the emergency system is being taken over. Cumulative data... system errors, emergency system accumulated data is deleted, transferred to a special process, reset eco-host to beta mode..."
When the eco host slowly recovered from hibernation, Hao Ren found the reset function of the local facility eco mode on the console, and he pressed the button. A new window pops up on the display: "Checking the status of the central control station... Serious error! Unchecked atmospheric pressure! Found multiple leak points! The central control station entered the blockade state, atmospheric reconfiguration... All personnel immediately Evacuate the connecting sections and enter the nearest sealed compartment. Repeat, all personnel immediately evacuate the connecting sections and enter the nearest sealed compartment..."
A series of automatic procedures began. The light from the corner of Haoren's eyes was seen through the large glass windows on one side of the control room. The outer gates were closed one by one, and the ventilation system of each compartment was operated. A faint airflow and a slight pressure were uploaded from the skin: the environment in this place began to recover.
The place where Hao Ren and his party were originally called the “central control station”, it seems that the ecosystem of this place is independent from the outside, so in the case that the atmosphere of the whole city disappears, it is still within one minute. It recovered to normal atmospheric pressure. The data terminal checked the composition of the surrounding air. It was found that although it was not the same as the earth, a group of Superman could still breathe smoothly, so that everyone temporarily turned off the function of the living collar.
"Call," Lily said with a long exit, "I don't have to talk to the communicator anymore."
"I'm looking for something like a host log," Hao Ren said as he twirled on the console. "I want to figure out what was going on here at the time... but the log files seem to have been destroyed."
At this time, a soft system prompt sounded, and the eco host finally completed all the self-test processes, from hibernation to so-called beta mode. Then it began to check the state of the city inside the ship. Of course, this machine immediately began to alarm madly.
A series of red warning lights illuminate in the various sections of the central control station. The harsh alarm bell sounded loudly in the section where the atmospheric environment had been restored. Hao Ren heard a mechanical and severely distorted synthetic sound alarm: "Severe breakdown! Urban ecosystem downtime! Serious failure! Urban ecosystem downtime! Operators above the second level immediately enter the job, and the operators above the second level immediately enter the job..."
Hao Ren turned off these irritating alarms. I began to restore the artificial atmosphere of the ship's city. However, when he started this function, an unexpected error message popped up: "Fatal error. No atmospheric circulation pump and atmospheric storage facilities were found."
"What happened?" Vivian didn't quite understand what happened.
"It seems that two things that are especially important to hear are gone." Hao Ren frowned at the console and finally found the function of switching the monitoring window. The main screen immediately popped up the monitoring screen of some important facilities. He saw a huge gap between the piles of pipes and machinery on one of the screens. Obviously, someone removed the things there.
And as more monitors came back, he found that there was more than one similar situation.
He let the control station host check all the systems one by one, so a series of stunned error messages popped up in a queue:
"Fatal error, no water circulation purification core unit found..."
"Fatal error, no thermostats and related servos were found..."
"Fatal error. B-2 to c-12 keel mechanical warehouse has no signal..."
“More than half of the important facilities have been demolished...” Hao Ren dragged the surveillance screen of the relevant area to the center of the main display one by one. “The ship’s living system was almost broken into empty shells.”
He said while he was groping on the console. Finally, I accidentally encountered an irrelevant small device. A metal plate next to the main display suddenly brightened, and the sound and picture that followed it interrupted him.
An old man appeared on the small display. He wore the commander's uniform, and his chest was full of medals and emblems. His face was not angry and he was the old man who turned into an ice sculpture on the operating seat. This is an image recording that should have been left at the last moment of his life.
"...Information code... Forget it, here is the group nickname, the lord Ghosn-Hillen is here to record. The various stop orders have entered the countdown, and it is expected that the ship ecosystem will be down after ten minutes. It has been agreed before repeating again. Distribution plan: the atmospheric circulation pump is assigned to the long night number, the atmospheric storage facility is assigned to the Yongge number, the thermostat controller and its servo unit are assigned to the Bailu, the water circulation purification unit and all the mechanical warehouses are dedicated to our king. May he And his throne ship can be safe forever. According to the plan, I have blown in the atmospheric circulation pump 'gas', so please wait twenty-four hours after this message is sent, until the purification pump completes the filtration and recovery of the atmosphere. ...oh..."
The old man in the video took a few deep breaths and he calmed down again:
"The propulsion unit of the ship will be retained, and continue to follow the fleet until all systems are destroyed. I am now in the name of the lord of the group, Grand Duke Ghosn-Hilden, after the death of my ship, all the property of the ship is returned to us. The kingdom, including the propulsion unit, the core reactor, and everything in the hull, is back to the kingdom. If the kingdom is in catastrophe, please take it apart...嗬...removing the remaining components of the ship. To our king, The message is over."
The small display fades and this short message is over. Hao Ren and other people face each other, Lily first broke the silence: "They removed the parts on their spacecraft to others?"
"These ships have a limited life span. It is a miracle to sail to today with their technical level," the data terminal said slowly. "The second half of the voyage is definitely dangerous. Various system failures are the most common and difficult to solve. As long as the mass extinction caused by God is still going on, they have no possibility of stopping to rest, so the only solution is to keep the available parts together, at least to ensure the ecosystem of several ships is complete. ”
Hao Ren shook his head: "But the number of people who can support is getting less and less."
"So the people who were chosen to sacrifice can only be euthanized," Nangong bit his lip in May, and I don't know how to evaluate it. She remembered the frozen city outside, and those who wore Chinese clothes at the banquet. And the victims who died solemnly, "How long have they persisted in this way?"
Hao Ren shook his head: "No matter how long it lasted, it seems that we have not been able to insist on coming. Before Nolan sent a message to all the arks, there was no response."
Everyone is silent and feels deep regret, but the data terminal seems to suddenly find out: "Wait, there should be survivors!" (To be continued.)
