Chapter 626: The core area of the Navigator (two-in-one super large chapter please vote for me)
"He Ao, I feel so light and a little dizzy." Lan
Perhaps in order to avoid the impact on the rotation of the annular cabin, the elevator does not move forward very fast.
Therefore, He Ao and Ye Yun could clearly feel the feeling of 'gravity' gradually disappearing from their bodies.
And as the acceleration process of the elevator ended and entered the stage of moving forward at a constant speed, the two of them were truly in a state of weightlessness with low gravity.
And because the 'gravity' of this spacecraft is simulated by the centrifugal force generated by rotation, as the elevator goes up, the radius of rotation becomes smaller, the centrifugal force becomes lower, and the sense of weightlessness that the two people feel becomes stronger.
In a state of weightlessness, the first feelings people often feel are dizziness and nausea. This is because blood without the pull of gravity will be easier to collect in the head when the heart pumps out the same pressure.
At the same time, the otoliths in the vestibular organ that help assist balance reduce their contact with nerve cells due to weight loss, and lose their balance function, resulting in dizziness and nausea.
Of course, in addition to vertigo, there are other detailed discomforts in the body, but none of them are as fast or as severe as vertigo.
Although neither He Ao nor Ye Yun have undergone professional weightlessness training, they are both C-level extraordinary beings. In theory, their structures are actually different from those of ordinary people.
After all, many C-class extraordinary beings will not completely die even if their hearts are destroyed.
The two of them adapted to this state very quickly.
"Now I really feel what it's like to be an astronaut."
Ye Yun rubbed his temples, trying to relieve his dizziness, and laughed at the same time.
"Um."
He Ao nodded and looked at the scenery outside the window through the front viewing window. Lan
At this moment, they were facing the rear of the entire spacecraft. The up-and-down viewing angle of the elevator's viewing window was larger than that of the annular cabin below, so they could see a wider range.
He Ao raised his head and could just see a bit of the 'tail' protruding from the central axis of the spacecraft.
Most of this 'tail' is a trumpet-shaped mechanical structure with a large mouth facing outward.
The largest opening of the speaker has a diameter of more than 200 meters by visual inspection.
At this height, on the ground, it is a seventy or eighty-story skyscraper.
And on the huge Navigator spacecraft, compared with the huge rotating shafts and the huge core axis, such a behemoth seems to be "just a little big".
Facing the entire vast galaxy, this huge spaceship is nothing more than a tiny thing like dust. Lan
He Ao withdrew his gaze and stared at the sea of stars outside.
In that silent darkness, there seemed to be countless invisible beings whispering.
Deep space is the most eternal darkness.
"We are very small, aren't we,"
Beside him, Ye Yun was also looking out the viewing window, "All the creations created by mankind so far seem so small and humble when facing the eternal and endless universe."
He smiled and looked away, "Sometimes I also wonder if there is another kind of powerful life in the universe. They play with the stars, galaxies and time and space, just like humans build bricks and stones.
High-rise buildings, perhaps such existences are the powerful gods in our legends."
He Ao turned his head and glanced at him, "You are in danger." Lan
Be curious, explore, communicate, and then go crazy.
"ah?"
Ye Yun was stunned. He looked at He Ao and smiled, "It is indeed very dangerous. If we really face such a terrifying existence, it seems that we can't do anything, can't resist, can't hurt, we can only surrender, or wait.
die."
"You can also try to be friends with them."
He Ao replied slowly.
"ah?"
Ye Yun looked at He Ao, completely confused.
At this time, the running elevator began to slow down, and then slowly stopped. Then, the elevator vibrated slightly, as if something was turned on.
It should be opened by the gate on the outside.
He raised his head and looked above his head, "It's almost here."
Ye Yun also raised his head and looked upward.
The elevator went up quickly, then stopped again.
There seems to be a transition area here on the central axis, just like the annular cabin below.
Next, He Ao felt a slight vibration in the elevator. It should be that the outer gate under his feet was closed. Lan
The next step is to open the overhead gate, and then the two of them enter the core axis.
Ding--
And the moment He Ao's idea emerged, a red alarm light suddenly lit up inside the elevator.
problem occurs!
He Ao raised his head and looked at the control panel next to the elevator door. At the same time, a vague alarm sounded in his ears.
"The gate opening of ￥* in core@# failed, please call @% maintenance personnel."
It sounded like he was being asked to contact maintenance personnel. Lan
It's a pity that there should be no living maintenance personnel in this spaceship.
He Ao pressed the buckle, unbuckled his seat belt, jumped lightly, and flew out spinning like a fish.
This elevator and gate design should have emergency door opening buttons.
"Hey, eh, eh."
Ye Yun reached out to unbuckle his seat belt, but his seat belt was broken and was tied to the armrest. It was difficult to apply force in a vacuum state, so he hurriedly began to unbuckle the rope buckle he had just fastened.
"If I had known better, I wouldn't have beaten him to death like this."
He simply tore off the seat belt with force. Lan
At this time, He Ao had already hit the wall of the elevator.
At this moment, he was already near the central axis of the core, the radius of rotation was already very small, and his body was already in a state of almost complete weightlessness.
Movement in a weightless state was not as easy as He Ao imagined, which made him a little unable to control his movements, but he quickly adjusted his condition.
He held the edge of the picture window and threw his body hard towards the control panel of the elevator door.
At the same time, he pulled out the bone sword, and when he was about to miss it, he inserted the bone sword into the gap of the elevator door to stabilize his body.
Then he moved towards the control panel little by little.
"He Ao, what's going on now?" Lan
Ye Yun also jumped over.
He Ao stared at the control panel with the red alarm flashing, and pressed all the buttons that could be pressed, and all the places that flashed red, but nothing happened.
This kind of emergency button cannot be too complicated to set up. If it is not on the control panel, it should be under some kind of protection device.
"There seems to be something wrong with the gate above. I didn't hear the sound of opening," He Ao said quickly, "Look for an emergency button to open the door."
He pointed to the left, "You go to the left, I'll go to the right."
"good."
Ye Yun didn't hesitate, nodded, pulled the edge of the window, and looked to the left for Lan.
He Ao searched along the right side. His body passed through the window that reflected the deep sky, and he quickly moved forward, scanning every corner of the wall on the right.
On the other side, Ye Yun was also searching carefully.
Soon, He Ao discovered a 'small box' with a red logo embedded in the wall, leaning against the corner of the wall.
He stopped, held on to the window, dragged his body towards the small box, and arrived in front of the small box.
He reached out and grabbed the small box.
There appears to be a plastic cover on top of this box.
He Ao reached out and opened the cover. Lan
A nine-digit mechanical button appeared in his field of vision.
This box requires a password to open.
This design may be that when there is an emergency situation where the door has to be opened, the maintenance personnel outside can tell the trapped people inside the password, and then the door can be opened from the inside.
He Ao glanced at the box, reached out and inserted the bone sword into it. He held the bottom of the box with one hand and twisted it with the other hand. He cut off the entire top cover of the box and a red button appeared in his field of vision.
middle.
The alarm in the elevator became louder.
He raised his head and glanced at Ye Yun, "Find something to grab!"
"Ah?" Lan
At this time, Ye Yun floated to a seat and looked at He Ao doubtfully.
"Hold on!"
He Ao emphasized again, and then he pressed the button directly.
Zika——
With a slight sound, the closed elevator door suddenly opened.
At this moment, due to the difference in air pressure between the inside and outside, the gas in the entire elevator cabin began to flow outward crazily.
The phenomenon that manifests itself is wind and waves.
In a state of weightlessness, a slight breeze can easily blow away everything.
Ye Yun quickly grabbed the seat next to him to avoid being blown away by the sudden wind.
And his whole body was flying like a flag.
And He Ao kept holding on to the box, stabilizing his body, and was not too affected by the wind.
When the wind calmed down a bit, he let go of his hand and floated out of the elevator with the flowing breeze.
"What's the situation now?
Ye Yun let go of his hand and followed He Ao out. Lan
As soon as he said a few words, his face turned slightly red.
The air in the elevator leaks into the transition space outside, causing the overall air pressure to drop and the oxygen content to drop as well.
He Ao turned on the flashlight, pointed at the top of his head and then grabbed the outside of the elevator. With a slight force, he pulled his body upward and floated up.
Under the light of the flashlight, a metal gate that looked like a ceiling across their heads appeared in their field of vision.
The elevator at this moment stops in the middle of this transition space, and the top is about one meter away from the gate.
He Ao glanced around the gate and quickly found a red mechanical rotary switch diagonally opposite.
He held on to the roof of the elevator and quickly floated over. Then he inserted the bone sword into the shell of the elevator and used force to turn on the mechanical switch. Lan
Click——
Accompanied by a slight sound.
The entire gate trembled, as if some locked mechanical structure had been unlocked.
He Ao stretched out his hand, took a look around, and found a row of three hidden folding handles on the gate. On the wall of the elevator shaft corresponding to the gate, there were also three hidden folding handles corresponding to the gate handle.
He Ao opened the folding handles, then grabbed the handle of the gate with one hand and the handle on the wall with the other, and pushed it with a little force.
The gate trembled, but did not open.
Something is holding up the gate. Lan
At this time, Ye Yun also floated over.
His face turned red. He was obviously suffering from a lack of oxygen and needed to adapt.
Ho Ao motioned to him to hold the two handles as he did.
Then the two of them worked hard together.
boom--
Along with the sound of some kind of steel column breaking, the entire gate opened with a bang.
A violent wave of air surged out, washing over their bodies. Lan
After a while, the air wave stopped.
And this surging air wave also brought enough oxygen.
He Ao took a deep breath and gasped.
Even a C-level transcendent cannot survive long in an oxygen-free environment.
He glanced at Ye Yun, "Didn't you say you dreamed of being an astronaut when you were a child? Why don't you have any knowledge about space?"
"I never want to be an astronaut again,"
Ye Yun held the handle and gasped while pulling his body out. Like a salted fish, he slowly floated out of the gap between the two, "I just want to go home now." Lan.
He Ao looked at his back, laughed, and used a little force to push his body through the opening.
Their bodies slowly floated upward following the push just now.
The space behind this gate is very large and has a broad spherical shape.
A broken thick steel rod that was incompatible with the surrounding environment was suspended in the air not far in front of them.
Ye Yun's body passed by the steel rod. He looked at the thick blood stains on the steel rod and said, "It looks like it was taken from other places and specially used to hold against the gate."
"Um."
He Ao stared at the steel rod, then glanced at the gate that the steel rod was holding against, and looked at the scratches on the gate, "The marks are very new, they should have been brought in not long ago." Lan.
"This guy Evel actually blocked our elevator."
Ye Yun understood something instantly.
"Um."
He Ao withdrew his gaze and continued upward.
The two of them floated for a while before barely approaching the top.
"Why do I feel like there's something wrong up there?"
Ye Yun looked up at the top of his head. There were many broken pieces on the ceiling above his head, but they did not float up.
"It's gravity that adjusts the body."
He Ao immediately shouted.
"ha?"
Ye Yun looked at He Ao. In an instant, his body seemed to have crossed a certain limit, accelerated suddenly, and fell towards the steel top above his head.
While he was speaking, He Ao quickly gathered his body, adjusted his posture, and when his body crossed that limit, he used gravity to rotate, then landed smoothly on the ground, squatting down to alleviate the impact.
Ye Yun on the side fell hard.
He staggered to his feet, swaying and rubbing his head, "Next time you speak, I will do it immediately and never ask again." Lan
He Ao glanced at him with a smile, and then looked around.
The gravity under his feet is almost the same as that in the main world, which is unreasonable.
Because in fact, the maximum diameter of this core area is only a few hundred meters, and most of them should be hollow cabins, so it is impossible to generate such a large amount of gravity.
"Heao, what is this?"
At this time, Ye Yun also reacted.
"It should be some kind of extraordinary object,"
He Aosi thought. Lan
He remembered the main area of the ruins, which was just a dwarf planet with a diameter of a thousand kilometers, but it still had a gravity similar to the world.
What constitutes the gravity of the core area of the Navigator at this moment should be similar things.
It's just that the extraordinary material inside the Navigator is not enough to support the gravity of the entire spacecraft, so the Navigator has individually designed ring-shaped cabins that can simulate gravity.
The technology tree of the relic civilization can always be clicked in unexpected places.
He had been wondering before whether there was gravity in the core area of the Navigator.
It seems that the ruins civilization not only has a very high physical technology tree, but also has reached a new level in its use of extraordinary power.
But such a civilization was destroyed so easily. Lan
He Ao put away his thoughts and glanced around. The decorations all around were very simple, with broken iron pieces everywhere, and only a small sliding door with a gap open.
This sliding door almost corresponds to the direction of the elevator door, and seems to be the originally designed exit passage.
He Ao walked to the sliding door. The door was not locked. He opened the sliding door easily.
Behind the door is a dark tunnel with tracks on the ground, and next to the door is a green button. The tracks in this tunnel seem to be running at high speed.
He Ao reached out his hand and pressed the button.
A rumbling and trembling sound came from deep in the tunnel, and then, within a short period of time, a small rail car stained with blood appeared in front of He Ao.
The door of the rail car slowly opened, revealing that the inside was damaged, revealing the plastic seat with a steel base. Lan
"Is this the bus leading to the core area?"
Ye Yun looked at the rail car next to He Ao.
"should be."
He Ao nodded and walked in.
"It looks like a subway. Why do we need to take a subway when we leave here?"
Ye Yun also followed and walked in.
Since most of the seats were damaged, the two of them held on to the rail car-type grab bars to remain standing. Lan
There were no buttons inside the rail car. After a short wait, the car door closed and then quickly drove forward.
It was at this time that He Ao's mind began to review the route they had taken along the way, and began to simulate where their position should be relative to the core area of the spacecraft.
After a brief thought, he pointed behind him in the direction opposite to the forward direction of the rail car, "Those rotating annular cabins rotate in that direction,"
He thought,
"When we first landed, we were not actually stationary relative to the core area. The entire peripheral annular cabin and the columns supporting the five annular cabins were constantly rotating. The ground we just stepped on was actually rotating as well.
In the system, at that time, we were still rotating at a constant angular velocity."
He glanced ahead and said, "The purpose of this rail car is not actually to carry us to our destination, but to use an opposite acceleration to offset the angular velocity of our body, so that our state will change from the relative position of the rotating cabin.
Stillness becomes relative stillness to the core area.
"So it's actually helping us slow down." Lan
"Well, that makes sense!"
Ye Yun looked at He Ao and nodded seriously.
He Ao glanced at him who didn't understand at all, smiled, turned to look in front of the rail car, and a small door appeared in his sight.
The rail car also quickly 'stopped' in front of the small door. Below the rail car, He Ao was looking at the continuously rotating track. It was also stationary at this moment.
This orbit is actually stationary relative to the core area. When He Ao stands in the rotating cabin area, the orbit he sees is naturally moving.
"So we have entered the core area now?"
Ye Yun jumped out of the car door, crossed the small door, and looked around. Lan
"Um."
He Ao's eyes also swept around.
This is a dark hall with very few light sources.
While the spacecraft is still operating normally, those who come down from the rotating cabin may be greeted in this hall.
But now, what greets He and Ao are the silent gray, mottled bloodstains, and...
He Ao raised his head and looked above his head.
A huge black shadow was rapidly enlarging in his sight and falling from the sky.
Through the hazy light, He Ao could see that it was a huge orangutan covered with thick hair.
It exceeds the C-level limit, is similar to the tentacle monster, and is weaker than the goat monster.
"careful!"
Ye Yun also saw this huge orangutan and shouted quickly.
At this time, He Ao had already turned sideways, raised his legs, and concentrated all his strength on his waist and legs.
Then at the moment before the orangutan landed,
Bang——Lan
A whip suddenly struck the orangutan monster's body, sending it flying away.
"Is that outrageous?"
Ye Yun, who was lifting the sword, opened his mouth.
He Ao retracted his legs and resumed his standing posture. The metal ground beneath his feet had sunk in due to the force transmitted by the impact just now.
This orangutan monster doesn't seem to have a hidden plasma cannon.
Then it's not as good as that tentacle monster.
The huge orangutan flew backwards, hit the wall, made a dent in the metal wall, and then staggered up again. Lan
It is approximately three meters tall, its cheeks are made of pure metal, its body is covered with detailed features, and its torso and limbs all have the texture of flesh and blood.
Ye Yun walked to He Ao at this time.
He wanted to ask He Ao if he had any questions, but obviously, the facts had already given him the answer.
"Look at it on the left shoulder, the left waist, and the right thigh."
He Ao looked at the orangutan and said slowly.
Ye Yun looked closely and saw bright red blood stains on the three locations pointed by He Ao.
"The wound looks like some kind of cone wound," he quickly concluded. "This wound is very new. It should have been left not long ago." Lan
Then he quickly realized what Heao wanted to say, "Evel?"
"He left in a hurry and did not take the time to deal with the monster. Instead, he left immediately after causing a certain amount of damage."
He Ao said slowly.
"Then shall we avoid this monster?"
Ye Yun held up the big knife and looked at He Ao.
He was confident that he could kill this monster, but it would take a lot of time.
Ivel probably had the same prediction at that time. Lan
"Need not."
He Ao raised the bone sword, flashed, and suddenly disappeared from the spot.
