Chapter 34 Supporting Each Other
"I don't know when the Evolver H starship was built. You can't think that I know everything just because I removed the door and took a standard communication base station for the emergency system, right?"
Alex stretched out his hands to catch the little fox that jumped down from the steps and carefully placed it on the ground. The cabins on both sides did not stop at all, and from time to time there would be dull explosions. The compound evolved man and
The battle between the invaders continues, causing problems with the surrounding artificial gravity. Although the difference is only about plus or minus 0.4, it has seriously affected the movements of Xiaoxiao, a short, weak guy. In order to prevent it from accidents, Ai
Ricks printed a rope to connect the two men's belts.
Xiaoxiao's ears were shaking, and the hair on them looked fluffy and soft. Unfortunately, it couldn't be stroked through the helmet. Whenever it was nervous, such as vibrations or loud noises coming from the wall, a few fingers would poke at the helmet.
——It still has not adapted to the current situation of wearing a helmet, and the habit of scratching the face may not be able to be changed until a finger is broken.
Is it nervous now? That's for sure. Is it relaxed now? A little bit. Xiaoxiao is very worried about the future, but now that it is following Alex, it can easily forget the danger. In addition to being extremely powerful
, other reviews of composite evolved humans in the universe are not good, but Xiaoxiao firmly believes that "its companions of composite evolved humans are different."
Subconsciously, Xiaoxiao wanted to prove this "difference", so she transformed into a problem baby on the road and kept sending question marks to Alex. Ordinary composite evolved people never bother to explain technical aspects to "lower races"
They always say that those questions are a complete waste of time. But Alex has been answering sincerely and diligently. This is what Xiaoxiao needs.
The two people passed through the isolation door and went all the way down. The vibrations on the walls on both sides became lighter and lighter, getting farther and farther away. This is undoubtedly a good sign. Now all kinds of communications are cut off, and no news can be received.
Alex only had a few hundred meters of emergency communication from the communication base station in his hand, and it was limited to the environmental emergency system.
"Xiaoxiao, I suspect that there may be a problem in the zero-order world, and there is a problem in the computing power network." Alex feels that facing danger is not scary. If he can analyze the danger well and be aware of it as much as possible, it will be great.
Reduce fear and increase the chance of survival. "Look, my equipment is not damaged at all. These isolation doors, environmental control and maintenance devices are all connected to the Internet. If they are not broken, then there is no reason for other networked equipment to be broken. Right.
Bar?"
"Well, you are right."
"Normally, the equipment responsible for constructing the entire network can run on its own without special maintenance. It takes effort to interrupt them. Therefore, in terms of probability, there are special orders from above to interrupt the network.
It’s the most reasonable explanation. On starships, only the zero-order world has this ability.”
"So our enemy is the zero-level world?" The little fox was completely confused: "It can understand why it wants to kill us, but why it threatens composite evolved people?"
"It's incomprehensible to kill you!" Alex tapped his helmet with his knuckles as a warning to the little fox. The little fox was startled, but after tasting it carefully, he felt quite happy.
.
While operating the communication base station, Alex controlled the next isolation door and explained to Xiaoxiao: "I received a warning earlier that an unknown Evolver starship was approaching, and then everything went into chaos.
. So it’s possible that the zero-order world on another starship is conducting hostile actions.”
"Ah? If the composite evolved humans fight among themselves, wouldn't the entire universe be buried with them?"
Alex suddenly stopped, causing the little fox to put his head on his lower back, causing the two of them to stumble to the ground. Fortunately, they were not on the steps, otherwise they would have tumbled down together. He held on to his body
Pulling up the railing next to it, he lifted the little fox up, rubbed his lower back and said, "I haven't thought about this problem yet. It seems dangerous now. However, I always feel that something is wrong."
What's wrong? Alex was thinking all the way until they passed through two isolation layers and came to the last isolation door. The door was being activated, and the environmental detection and self-checking devices would run for dozens of seconds.
Amidst the beeping beeps of the communication base station system, Alex figured it out.
"If the purpose of the battle is to destroy, the two of us are dead now. The opponent has broken into the starship, and there are countless ways to blow it up to the sky. The intensity of the current battle is obviously still within the range where the scale and damage can be controlled, and
This kind of control shows that they have other agendas besides destruction."
"Even if they don't destroy the starship, they won't mind killing two innocent residents, right?"
"You're right." Alex shrugged: "I think they won't mind killing us, but I don't want them to succeed easily. No, you're wrong, I don't want them to succeed!"
"I don't want to either!" The little fox clenched his furry little fists and shouted with all his strength, "So it's up to you!"
Alex slapped his forehead, and then wiped it down slowly and forcefully, which not only cheered up his spirits, but also made him unable to complain. The last isolation door finally opened, and the clanking of the mechanical arms and gears seemed like an alarm clock for departure.
A ladder stretched out from the door and hung down, ending on the roof of a virtual reality experience center in the "activity area". The isolation door where Ike and Xiaoxiao were located was on the ceiling of the target cabin, and they needed a ladder to go down.
The "activity area" is a place for composite evolved humans to rest, relax and socialize, including various entertainment facilities, commercial facilities, tourist centers, sports facilities and a huge virtual park. Compound evolved humans are definitely not robots and have mental and emotional needs
At the same level as the pursuit of computing power and knowledge, they need such an activity area. Generally, compound evolved people will spend 50% of their time in the activity area, 40% in the work area, and the remaining 10% in the personal area.
He rested in his residence. Alex was a little different. He spent a lot of time completing research on his personal interests. He came to the activity area very rarely, and he was almost always dragged here by his sister.
Usually there are a lot of people here, the crowds are bustling, and everyone's faces are full of enthusiasm and happy smiles. Considering that the starship was attacked today, this place will definitely be different from the past, but it shouldn't be so quiet. There is not a single pedestrian on the long street.
, there was no sound in the whole cabin, and the empty commercial area was only filled with advertisements that played in a loop. If you listen carefully, you will find that the advertisements are stuck, just like you are choking on food and can't spit it out, can't swallow it, and can't die.
People are struggling.
"I have an ominous premonition."
Alex checked the offline map, held the little fox's hand to the roof, found the lift and descended to the ground. There were flashing arrows in many conspicuous locations on the sidewalks and at the entrances and exits of shops and facilities.
They marked evacuation routes and emergency shelter locations in a connected manner. Alex's destination could also be reached through these arrows, but an ominous premonition slowed him down.
"Where have everyone gone?" The two people looked around nervously. The place is still orderly, without any panic or destruction, but there are some abandoned facilities that have been interrupted. Virtual reality tourism has become popular again recently.
It has become a favorite entertainment item for composite evolved people, so several shops offering this service have been opened on both sides of the street. They are characterized by helmet-type brain-controlled body access devices, which are disconnected halfway and abandoned on the console.
There are dozens of helmets, where are the people?
Just around the corner is the "Flag Pier", which is nominally a store selling starships, but is actually just a museum. It contains classic starships from various civilizations and races, and introduces how they helped those races fly off the ground.
It is better to go to space and have a virtual reality experience. If you are particularly interested, you can also pay some computing power coins and print out the starship directly according to the design drawing. However, what is printed is only the shell, and the appearance and performance are 100%
It’s a hundred replicas, but its core—especially the environmental control and safety core—are advanced technologies of composite evolved humans.
"That's it, the model shop." Alex looked around, and there was no one on the street. He didn't know why he did this. He walked towards the store door with the little fox, and the communication base station on his arm received the "Colored Flag Pier"
Signal for emergency system inside.
The A-class shield is working. Enter in the direction indicated by the arrow and check your identity at the door.
Two rows of arrows draw a narrow passage on the ground, only for one person to pass through. The shield in the A-level defense area is extremely strong and is said to be able to withstand the power of a supernova explosion. No one wants to run into such a shield, so planning
The route of easy entry and exit is very important. There is a touch pad sticking out at the end of the passage. The composite evolved person puts his finger on it, and the system here is connected to the brain control body to identify the identity.
"Alex Fix C2, and the raccoon star Xiaoxiao as companions."
---Welcome to enter. Unless there are sufficient reasons for non-composite evolution people... ---
"Pets, prevent autism." Alex immediately added.
---Permission to enter. Spirit and computing power are equally important.---
Fortunately, these communications occurred between the brain-controlled body and the system, and were not seen by Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, it would be difficult to predict what kind of reaction it would have, but it would certainly be sad. Entering the gate and continuing along the arrow, the two found themselves
The air next to it gradually turned red and became thicker and thicker, like fog. Fortunately, the display on the wall gave a prompt, "Don't leave the passage. You are in the transition zone of the protective shield. The red area is dangerous."
For some kind of safety design, the passage in and out twisted around, walking from the first floor to the second floor, and then down to the first floor. When the surroundings completely turned dark red, the passage finally reached the end. They came to a 100-square-meter
In the exhibition hall, there is a hologram of the Evolver H starship in the center. Dozens of display cabinets around it were originally Dragon-class starships of various races in the universe, but the holograms were removed and all became access points to the computing network.
device. Dozens of composite evolved humans are connected to the computing power network, standing in front of the display cabinet holding the access device with both hands, and wearing cooling neck rings around their necks. From the white smoke rising from the neck rings, we can know that these
The human brain control body is working hard to calculate.
When the danger occurred, each compound evolved person was contributing his or her own computing power, but they seemed to freeze and were unaware of what was happening around them. Alex blocked the little fox behind him and carefully took out the printout.
They use long sticks to poke their own kind. These people have no reaction to the sting or itching, and even if they are hit on the inner thigh, they will not move.
Alex scratched his head. He was not an expert in computing power networks, so he didn't know what was going on. However, the communication base station beeped, and a communication was displayed on the screen.
---The unknown composite evolved person requested to enter the A-level defense area and it was judged to be dangerous... Covered, rejected. Allowed to enter.---
