Chapter 935: Life reaction
"Survivor?" After hearing the data terminal suddenly popped up, Hao Ren looked at it with surprise.
The data terminal floats next to a control device, and the blue light radiating from it illuminates the cable and extension fittings around the device, as if it were breathing slightly pulsating. In this way, it finally reads the depths of these vicissitudes of equipment. A little bit of data that has not been completely erased: "This machine is connected to the navigational intelligence brain deep in the ship, and it has mastered the navigation method of this fleet. Its navigation method needs someone to live."
Hao Ren looked at the data terminal and signaled it to go on.
The data terminal opens a set of holographic projections. The top is a fleet of thirteen ellipsoidal arks, and each fleet radiates a series of complex lines: "These are the laws that were previously detected." Repetitive signal. According to the current situation here, the operator of the Ark is dead, so these ships are relying on automatic system command, so the signal transmission between them is mechanical. According to their navigation mode, these ships Without a fixed flagship, they rely on a networked way to connect all navigational intelligence brains and build a unified, virtual navigation program. This machine guesses that this is because the designer has considered any one of the flagships from the beginning. Ships may suddenly disappear, so they hand over the highest navigation authority to a ghost host that is active on the network, so that as long as the fleet remains on a certain scale, it can sail all the time without regard to the flagship change... ”
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Key points, focus."
"The point is that such a ghost host is not installed on any ship, and considering that the host of each ship is not necessarily reliable during this long journey, this navigation program is not subject to any specific terminal control. It automatically monitors the fleet and relies on certain conditions to determine whether its navigation mission is still going to continue. "The data terminal floats up and down." Its detection rule is 'life is still going on'. This machine found this article from the bottom of the database. information."
Every ark built by civilization has a different way of running, and this time. They will continue to sail only if their internal life is still alive. Their propellers are still not extinguished, so unless the navigation procedures formed by these ships are problematic. Then there is only one explanation:
"There is still a living person on a certain ship..." Hao Ren muttered to himself, and frowned. "But they did not respond to Nolan's call."
"Perhaps it is a system failure, perhaps it is impossible to understand Norlan's high-level language, and more likely they are scared. They may think that we are a group with the Guardian," the data terminal took back all the light. "Of course there is even worse, that is, there are not a few survivors who have died, and even those who know how to manipulate the radar are gone. In short, they have not responded, then we can only check every ship."
Hao Ren groaned and looked up at the console in front of him. On one of the console's screens, it is showing the scene in the space, some dim lights shining in the darkness, that is the other twelve Ark ships in space.
"I hope that the structure of each ship is the same as here..." Hao Ren stunned and connected the communication with Nolan. "Nolan, you have heard the words here. Call the engineering drone, cut the outer shell of each ship. Put the life detector into it until you can scan the deepest signal. Don't interrupt For those ship's communication requests, if someone is willing to take the initiative to respond, we don't have to make holes in their ceilings."
"The machine feels that drilling a few holes in these more than one hundred kilometers of behemoths will not break their entire system," the data terminal shook his body. "Unless you accidentally dig them." Atmospheric pump or reactor."
Hao Ren sighed slightly: "Are you still convinced of my luck after running for two years?"
The terminal stunned and called the giant turtle rock station number: "Nolan, let those drones be careful, it is best to scan at least three times every time the drill bit is hit... Oh no, scan it four times."
The group left the central control station and looked at the whole picture of this huge facility from the outside. Now its core reactor has been reactivated, and the once dimly lit grid and heat sink are shining brightly. But since most of the important equipment in the urban ecosystem has been removed, the control station can no longer function as if the giant had only the remaining head. It just runs silently in the vacuum, as if the artificial star in this icy world shines like a deadly sanctuary. Hao Ren looked at the frozen and ruined city, knowing that there was nothing in the ship worth exploring, so he left some self-disciplined machinery to study the urban structure here, and he himself brought people back to the giant. On the turtle rock station.
The giant turtle Yantai slowly left the Ark ship named "Group", and then some silver-white spots flew from afar. They have a square shape and some sharp-edged engineering arms. It is a group of drones that responded to the call. The fleet flew into the silent arks in space, and then some little flashes of light lingered from the outer shell of each ark.
The drone began cutting these weird and silent steel domes and placed small detectors inside.
"I think how to make the first transformation of the giant turtle Iwata," Hao Ren stood on the bridge and knocked on the console in front of him. "I need at least a high-powered life-sensing radar, or a New models of detector honeycombs. Nowadays these devices are becoming less and less powerful. It is difficult for the universal base model to detect life reactions across several kilometers of steel plates and energy fields, not to mention the fact that most of the time I want to detect them. The bizarre species created by the goddess of creation."
"I am blunt, partner," the data terminal deliberately said in a very serious tone. "Depending on your work history, your life detector will rarely have a chance to come in handy."
Hao Ren: "...Whether it’s not my pleasure to go there!"
Thirteen ships of the Ark, each with a size of more than 100 kilometers, they have an outer protective layer of several kilometers or even ten kilometers thick, complex shallow pipelines and corridor systems, and a thick steel shell The ball-shaped city, and all these things have been in disrepair. The tens of thousands of old airlocks and exhaust air pump systems maintain the fragile balance of these ships, which brings a lot of trouble to the work of the drone. But everything was still carried out according to Hao Ren's plan. After a few hours, the data from the detector group was continuously transmitted back to the giant turtle rock station.
Before Hao Renshou was in front of the console, the more important pictures returned by the detector were sorted out by Nolan and projected onto the main device. Hao Ren saw that the inside of the remaining twelve arks had just detected the surface, but some had already penetrated the core.
The conditions in these arks vary, and although they are similar in structure, they have different defects. In one of the arks, you can see a frozen city similar to the “Group”, but there is only one huge and awkward hollow inside the other ark: the city itself has been dismantled and turned into a furnace. The other part of the ship, and the ship probably has fallen behind hundreds of years ago.
"The situation is worse than one... There is no life reaction yet, only a variety of wrecks have been discovered," Nolan’s voice rang. "They are completely shelled but the inside is riddled with holes. These boats are In the past few thousand years, relying on mutual engulfment and maintaining it, they may be hundreds of times, but now only 13 ships are still sailing... These 13 ships seem to me like floating bodies, dry inside And empty."
“After becoming a ship, you become more emotional than before,” Hao Ren smiled. “Is there any Ark to respond to your call?”
"No, there is no echo in any frequency band, but I can be sure that my signal has been sent to these ships," Nolan nodded slightly. "The shallowest detectors drilled have been drilled into the cables of those arks, if There is still no response in this case, I am afraid it is really 'no one'."
Hao Ren didn't say anything. He looked back at the holographic projection. A small detector was drilling through the dome of the ball-shaped city of the sixth Ark. In its swaying view, the darkness flashed past, then The icy silence in a shimmer, a deserted city is presented under the lens of the detector, and other data returned by the detector shows that there is no life here.
Hao Ren began to seriously consider whether these arks have all been completely extinct, and perhaps what problems have occurred in the navigation program will continue to run until the extinction of life. But just as the idea came out of his mind, a message jumped out of the holographic projection.
Nolan and the data terminal simultaneously said: "There is a life reaction!" (To be continued.)
