Finding the first and second messages meant that more clues were discovered. We walked along the corridor and successfully found the third message at the end of the corridor. There was still only one sentence on it:
"New tip: You have completed the physical examination. If you come here, it means that the detection device determines that your health meets working standards. Now move forward along this corridor and don't stop until you see a new prompt.
"
Although it is not yet known who this ship is prepared for, the content of the message such as "Sequelae after long-term sleep, the body needs to be checked with external equipment, and audio signals are used to stimulate the brain to restore consciousness" is obviously not in line with Xiling
The life form of the apostle, so we can make a bold guess: the crew of this ship should be some ordinary "mortal races", which just confirms Lilina's previous discovery-the corridors in the outer area of the spacecraft are full of organic matter produced by weathering
Fine dust, these weathered objects are very likely to come from the bodies of the crew.
Well, this ship, at least the core area of the ship, is specially prepared for the mortal race. This is very strange, because Sandora and I both know that in the old empire, the Xiling Apostles never treated themselves.
There was a time when the servant army was so "gentle and considerate" - the design of this ship is really contrary to common sense.
The corridor leading from the "activity hall" to the deeper parts of the spacecraft is blocked by an alloy door. The third message is on the wall next to this door, but this time the door is not so easy to open. Judging from the content of the message,
Behind the door should be a place similar to an infirmary. After the spacecraft crew is awakened from a certain state of slumber, they must be examined by this infirmary. The door will only be opened when the physical health "meets work standards". The awakened person can
We saw the message on the outside of the door and headed all the way to the activity hall and work place. But now we seem to be unable to open the door from the outside. The energy supply in the core area of the spacecraft is normal. The door is also firmly locked by the closing mechanism and power lock.
The ground was fixed, but this was not a problem. Sandora showed her claws, and lightly knocked twice on the alloy door with her black sharp-edged fingertips: "Let me scratch it open."
I nodded, and the alloy gate was instantly scratched and scratched by Sandora into pieces of metal. A smaller room appeared in front of us, and the room was also brightly lit: it seemed that the entire core area
The lighting and other conventional equipment have been started.
This room is indeed an "infirmary". There is a circle of square boxes similar to sleeping chambers arranged vertically around the wall of the hexagonal cabin. I guess they are scanning equipment for physical examination. The ground in the middle of the cabin is sunken.
There is a holographic device more than one meter high, which is now activated. But there are only messy lines jumping around on it, obviously it is in standby mode.
Of course, the first thing everyone did was to look for the step-by-step message. This time the message was still placed in a very conspicuous place: on the ground around the holographic device in the center of the room, with a paragraph above:
"New reminder: You have woken up and come to the physical examination room. Your brain is still in a state of confusion, but this confusion should not affect your judgment. While the hibernation device is activated, the energy supply to some areas has been restored.
, this cabin can be used. Now stand in any medical cabin next to the wall, and the system will automatically complete all the work. If everything goes well, this room will open a new door. Go out of that door, and you will see the next instructions.
.”
"It's getting more and more interesting," Lilina looked at the message and murmured while licking her lips, "It stands to reason that the imperial starship is so advanced, but it doesn't need such primitive processes, hibernation cabins and wake-up procedures.
The messages written on the wall and the floor were not even monitored by an automated system... Boss, don’t you think it’s strange?”
I thought about it and admitted with embarrassment: "Actually, I haven't thought about it that much until now..."
Lilina was stunned, but Sandora intervened: "I also find it strange. These messages are obviously a set of awakening procedures, but this method is too old. After all, this is an imperial starship. Even if it is really saved,
Since we have a group of dormant ordinary crew members, there should also be a fully on-duty artificial intelligence installed here, unless..."
Sandora seemed to suddenly think of something, but there was nothing more after the word "unless". I quickly asked: "Unless what?"
"Unless this ship is designed to achieve near-extreme 'silence'," Sandora frowned, "I seem to have figured something out. The degree of 'silence' in this ship is extremely high. It only has a void engine and an order field.
, the three systems of the conventional engine are turned on, and these three systems are the most basic requirements for a ship to sail. They cannot be turned off, and these three systems do not require too much intelligent participation. If you only drift,
If so, it can be managed with the most stupid logic program. Apart from that, do you see where else on this ship the power is turned on? I remembered the abnormal situation just discovered in the outer zone, the peripheral energy supply
All are interrupted, but those energy networks are intact. This shows that the interior of the spacecraft actively cuts off the energy in its outer layer. In addition, we have reached the core area, but we have not heard the sound of the shipboard host. If this ship is really
There is a ship-based host, and it is simply too taciturn. Finally, here is the current situation: this primitive wake-up process does not involve any intelligent system in the whole process, and it completely relies on the stupidest messages and street signs to complete - this is
The most extreme system silence, the goal of this silence is to hide any signs of 'consciousness' on a ship, even artificial intelligence."
I suddenly felt something in my heart and looked at Sandora blankly: "This is to reduce my sense of existence..."
Shandora answered the second half of the sentence tactfully: "Then do everything possible to escape from somewhere."
It is self-evident that an Imperial starship needed such a degree of "silence" to escape. The only disaster that occurred 70,000 years ago was not to escape from the abyss, but to escape from the crazy pursuit of former friendly forces.
Kill: It's meant to be disguised as the wreckage of a shipwreck!
"Look further, there should be other clues here," Sandora said quickly. "These medical cabins are only used for physical examinations, they are not sleeping facilities. The place where the crew sleeps should be in other areas... but the passage
Hidden."
The interference in the core area still exists, and Dingdang and Lilina still can't find where the life reaction comes from. Sandora can't scan the positions of other cabins, and I'm not good at fine work other than energy perception.
:You can ask me to blow up this place. It seems that the interference in the core area is unconditionally effective. This should also be a way for the spacecraft to increase the "silence" level.
Little Crow is the most confused of all the people. This is the first time for this girl to participate in such a serious activity. She seems a little overwhelmed, but she also wants to help the adults, so she starts to imitate us and play around in the cabin.
After poking around, she finally came to the medical bays that stood upright like coffins on the wall. She screamed "Gah oh ga ah" and reached out to pat the outer covers of those cabins. As a result, one of the medical bays actually responded.
opened!
Shandora and I were stunned at the same time: This stupid bird's level of luck is simply superb. Despite her average intelligence, this is the second time today that she has accidentally discovered the key point. This bird
If you go to play Lianliankan, you will definitely be a master of casual flow.
"By the way, that's right," Sandora knew what was going on after a moment's thought, and summed it up in hindsight, "According to the content of the message, the crew who just woke up will have to undergo a physical examination here. But the crew who just woke up will have to undergo a physical examination here.
Mortal races are not very clear-headed, so the equipment here should basically be automatically sensing, and the equipment here is in an unrestricted state. When the medical warehouse senses someone coming in contact, it will naturally open itself."
I observed the open medical cabin curiously. Its shape was different from the coffin sleeping cabin made by Tavel, but it was basically the same. Sandora came over to take a look and made an expert judgment: "It is indeed
Prepared for carbon-based organisms. It has an enhanced radiation protection layer, and the scanning devices are all low-power."
Lilina also joined in the fun and got in between me and Sandora. She poked her head and observed the equipment in the medical warehouse, and then suddenly jumped into it with laughter: "Ha, boss, look, this is so important to me."
It’s spacious!”
It is a wise saying that if you don’t die, you will not die. As soon as Lilina jumped in, I noticed that the lid of the medical bay flickered, and before I had time to react, the sliding hatch closed suddenly, leaving me with only Lilina.
Na's last expression was one of surprise, and then the bratty kid yelled inside: "Wow! Boss, get me out! How come this thing is locked up!"
Of course, I quickly took action to open the medical cabin, but as soon as I started, I was grabbed by Sandora, who pointed to the equipment in the center of the cabin: "Look at that."
There is a data terminal in the center of this "medical room", but when we came in, the terminal was in standby mode, and now it has been started. The holographic screen above the machine quickly refreshed a few lines of data, and then appeared
A light blue human figure came, and I could tell at a glance that it was Lilina's full body image: It seemed that Little Crow and Lilina accidentally activated the medical diagnosis system here. Two seconds later, Lilina's body
The diagnostic report appeared on the terminal, with only one paragraph on it:
"Diagnosis of Medical Warehouse No. 6: The biometrics inside the warehouse are incorrect. Please let people in."
Lilina's muffled voice continued to come from the medical bay: "Boss, hurry up and save people! It's so dark in here! Why are things made by the old empire so inhumane!"
Sandora and I looked at each other dumbfounded. The latter operated a few times outside the medical warehouse before Lilina finally saw the light of day again. This self-deprecating naughty child jumped up when he saw the diagnostic report displayed on the central terminal at a glance: "
What do you mean by ‘please let people in’! How come this Pope doesn’t look like a human being! How come such a cute little girl like this Pope doesn’t look like a human being!”
I quickly pressed down on the little girl: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, you are definitely not the same model as the default crew of this ship, and it is normal for the medical bay to make mistakes."
At this time, Shandora was re-checking the medical warehouse that Lilina had just entered, and she suddenly discovered something: "Arjun, look at this! There is a line of handwritten words here!"
I hurried over to check the situation. Sandora pointed at the shell of the medical warehouse. Sure enough, I saw a large piece of writing that was obviously handwritten there, but the line of text looked like it had been ablated with some kind of handheld tool.
The content is confusing: "Warren Field's diary, today is the eighth day after waking up. I have completed my routine work, which is to observe the empty radar image. I don't know if it makes sense to do this. The reservation should be started.
Most of the things didn't start up. I was still the only one who woke up. The ship's host computer didn't respond to my questions. It was still in a silent state. There must be something wrong. I returned to the medical room again for a physical examination.
The equipment reports that everything is normal - everything is fine with my body, but there is definitely something wrong with this ship. I will continue to monitor it, and although it is a bit bad, I think those training can get me through this."
"This must have been left by the crew of the spaceship," I made an obvious judgment. "But according to the contents of the diary... he seemed to have encountered a very bad situation. Why did only one person wake up?"
"There must be something wrong with this ship," Sandora frowned. "It may have been the disaster that damaged the ship 70,000 years ago. But now I'm more curious about why this Warren Field wanted to engrave the diary.
It's a bit primitive for a medical bay shell."
I looked around and saw no traces of other human activities here. We didn't see the figure of "Warren Field" or any records he left along the way. Of course, considering that this ghost ship has already
A very long time passed. The crew member is probably no longer alive, but he probably left more than this diary.
"Go back to the lobby. We didn't check that place carefully just now," Sandora decided to look back. "Didn't those messages also say that there are facilities such as workshops near the lobby, and there must be clues there."
I also remembered this incident. The message on the door of the event hall mentioned the workshop, but at that time everyone's attention was focused on finding the spacecraft crew and the computer room. The workshop mentioned in the message was temporarily put aside.
Having gone aside, the appearance of "Warren Field" now makes us realize that there may be important clues in those workshops.
Everyone immediately returned to the activity hall. Sandora released a lot of smart probes, and Little Crow also released her army of mini girls. A group of smart and agile investigators began to look for any suspected traces of human activity.
thing. The first one to find clues was indeed that stupid bird with weird luck: one of her split organisms flew back happily, chirping and reporting something to everyone. We followed the little palm-sized bird
The crow came to the corner of the hall and found several passages on the wall. This time it was not just a diary:
"Warren Field's diary, on the fourth day after waking up, something didn't seem right. The system was set to activate the awakening protocol after the chaos ended and when it came into contact with other survivors, but nothing was seen on the radar.
, there are no other survivors, the spacecraft is floating alone in an unknown place, the navigation device is still in the automatic state, and continues to jump to unknown coordinates: this is a major anomaly. Other than that, there is good news,
The chaos does seem to have stopped, there are no chasing enemies, and there is no world that continues to collapse. No matter what the situation is, I should start working. I have already imagined what to do if the process goes wrong - although I thought it was impossible at the time, but now I see
It seems that this has really happened, and I’m glad I had the foresight before. Postscript: This diary was actually added on the fifth day.”
"Warren Field's diary, on the fifth day after waking up, he completed the inspection of all systems. The bad news is that the spacecraft seems to have been severely damaged. The outer dormancy facility is unresponsive, the connecting bridge is stuck, and the transmission device is also broken. Look
The spacecraft was still attacked while sleeping. The good news is that I am still alive, others in the core area are also alive, and the spacecraft is still running. Most of the equipment is good, but it just refuses to be taken over manually. It is normal. They were initially set.
They should not be controlled by carbon-based organisms. The willpower of carbon-based organisms is not strong enough and they are easy to make mistakes. But it is still a little uncomfortable. Also: considering some bad possibilities, it is possible that no one can see the diary written in the data terminal.
, so I decided to write my daily diary all over the spacecraft. If I die in an accident, these records can be seen by others in a more conspicuous place. Those lucky guys, sleep well, Captain Warren Field
It’s time to start duty.”
Seeing this, Sandora and I nodded in agreement: This diary explains why these words were engraved on the wall in the most primitive way - the person who left the diary did record things in the data terminal at the beginning.
, but he anticipated the worst case scenario on the fifth day, so he carved them on the outside in a more primitive but safer way.
"This Warren Field seems to be a strong and optimistic servant soldier," Sandora said softly. "I have already guessed how bad the situation he encountered, but he accepted the reality calmly and started working, even if
Among the servants of the old empire, there are not many people with this kind of psychological quality."
"It may not be so perfect," Lilina pointed to the next diary, "Look, he also has complaints."
I looked at that diary, and the content above seemed inconsistent with the previous two:
"Warren Field's diary, who knows what day it is, maybe more than ten days. I haven't written a diary for a long time since I last went to the medical room. Today's work is not going well. Try to find the nearest material location.
There is a signal, but there is only a blank. There are few such desolate places in the void. It seems that the catastrophe has wiped out all the worlds. I may have to drift like this forever with this cursed spaceship. However,
So what? I still have to work, and my observation records remain the same. It’s the same thing every day. Looking at the empty radar in this empty place, my mind is also empty. I really hope to see other signals.
Even if it’s clutter.”
There are only these three diaries on the wall.
(Okay, this is the second time I recommend "Rebirth: Super Battleship". Why do people say that my recommendation is ineffective... I am surprised when I see people who have recommended it.) (To be continued...) rt
