He Ao pulled at the space-time beacon in front of him. All these time-space beacons had closed down and were completely destroyed.
He picked up the flashlight and shined it around, looking at these densely packed space-time beacons.
It seems that these space-time beacons do not seem to be destroyed naturally, but rather seem to have been gathered together by someone and destroyed uniformly.
He Ao stepped on these time and space beacons and continued to move forward step by step.
The brilliance of the flashlight shines in this dark, silent and unmanned laboratory, sweeping over the ancient machinery.
The surroundings of these time and space beacons were also covered with dense blood stains, as if a brutal massacre had been experienced here.
He Ao can also see the traces of battles covered by the dust of time around these time and space beacons.
Splattered blood stains, destroyed instruments, and some scattered and broken weapons all seemed to indicate that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Perhaps at this location, a small battle broke out between those who protected the time and space beacon and those who destroyed the time and space beacon.
The final result was that all these space-time beacons were destroyed.
Under that terrifying, explosive pollution, perhaps one of the two parties in the battle is no longer completely 'human'.
But no matter what kind of guess, it is just a guess. He Ao is not a historian and cannot go back to history to see what happened.
After passing through the pile of time and space beacons, He Ao continued to move forward, and soon he saw three large machines placed side by side.
These three machines are four to five meters high and nearly two meters wide. There is a small operating screen directly in front of the machine, and there is a small opening below the screen that seems to be able to feed small items. At this moment, the screens of these machines
All are extinguished.
He Ao walked to the machine. The huge body of the machine was marked with simple instructions for use and the name of the machine in five different languages.
He Ao quickly found the language of the second area and recognized the machine name marked above:
‘Space-time Beacon Correction Instrument’
Below the machine name are operating instructions with illustrations.
The method of use is very simple. Put the faulty space-time beacon into the inspection port, and then click the 'Correction' button on the screen to automatically identify the problem and correct it.
The correction time is approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
After the correction is completed, the machine will pop up the corrected space-time beacon on its own.
The problem is that all the correctors seem to be damaged at this moment, and none of them light up.
He Ao's right hand brushed the three corrective devices in sequence. When he brushed the last corrective device, the mechanical core ring originally worn on the little finger of his right hand suddenly vibrated undetectably.
This means that this machine can be controlled.
He Ao raised his head and glanced at the last correction device. The screen of this correction device had been completely destroyed, and even the feeding port had been distorted.
Judging from its appearance alone, it was the most completely destroyed of the three machines.
But in fact, this machine is the best preserved of the three machines.
However, He Ao did not use the mechanical core ring to control the machine. His expression did not change, and he did not even pause his movements, just brushed his hand over.
"These three machines look a bit strange. They are very large, but the operable area is very small."
He Ao turned around and continued walking forward, saying as he walked, "Is it the correction machine you told me about?"
"It should be, sir."
A02 replied.
This microcomputer has no camera, so A02 can only rely on the surrounding sounds, He Ao's description, and her own calculations to determine where He Ao has gone.
"Are these machines still running, sir?"
A02 asked.
"The screen is not bright," He Ao looked back, "It looks pretty miserable from the outside."
"It seems like everything has been damaged."
A02 said.
"Is there anything else in this laboratory that might not be damaged?"
He Ao asked casually.
"The space-time jump tester may not be damaged yet,"
A02 said,
"This device is located behind a small door next to the exit of the laboratory. It is the only device in the Navigator other than the main control room that is connected to the main engine of the spacecraft. It can start the engine, simulate the state of time and space jump, and observe the surroundings.
Use the spatial data to determine whether the nearby space-time is stable and whether it is suitable for space-time jumping."
"This machine can start the engine?" He Ao paused and asked, "Then can it control the operation of the spacecraft?"
"Theoretically it's possible," A02 maintained his usual gentle and steady tone, "but the instructions to control the spacecraft have to go through the cab. Currently, the cab has completely lost contact. Depending on the authority of the tester itself, it can only control the test start of the engine.
and closure.”
"Is the ship's engine still good now?"
He Ao continued to move forward according to the direction of the map given by A02 before, passing through the gap formed after the collapse of the two machines.
"Insufficient data for analysis."
A02 quickly gave the answer.
At this time, He Ao raised the flashlight and saw a closed gate in front of him. Under the gate, there were two damaged double-leaf door panels lying on the ground.
Judging from the markings on the map, this gate should lead to the next corridor leading to the core control room.
The gate seems to have been tightly closed, and the control switch next to the gate has been completely destroyed.
He Ao stepped forward and reached out to press the gate. The gate was very hard and his pressing did not cause any deviation.
He knocked on the gate, and a solid muffled sound came from behind the gate.
The sound made He Ao even think that he was tapping a heavy boulder.
This gate is very thick.
He raised the bone sword and scratched the gate, leaving only a shallow mark.
He Ao lowered his head and looked at the destroyed door panel in front of the gate, "The road ahead of me is blocked by a very thick gate. This gate does not seem to be the original normal door of this laboratory. Does it have any special function?
?
"Sir, what you are encountering now may be the peripheral barrier door of the core control room. This door is used to separate the area near the core control room from other areas of the spacecraft. It is the outer barrier of the core control room."
A02 answered quickly.
"The switch of this door has been destroyed. Is there any way to open it?"
He Ao glanced at the switch next to him and asked.
"Sir, you can connect the host that is currently receiving my signal to the switch and let me crack it and turn it on."
A02 said.
"Crack open?"
He Ao paused slightly. Does the main intelligence still need to crack the gate switch to open it?
"The barrier door is controlled by an independent system that is not connected to the main network. Opening and closing require verification of a special password. This password is generally mastered by crew members with high-level permissions and is not stored in my database."
A02 understood He Ao's question and explained.
"good,"
He Ao pried open the microcomputer in his hand again, used a bone sword to cut open the destroyed skin of the switch, and followed A02's instructions to connect the circuit inside to the motherboard.
"Analyzing, please wait."
A mechanical workbench appeared in front of the silver-haired girl image of A02 on the screen, and then A02 fiddled with the parts on the workbench in a decent manner and began to make repairs.
This looks like some kind of maintenance animation.
"How long will it take to completely unlock this door?"
Heao asked.
"About eight to ten minutes, sir."
In the animation, A02 picked up a device similar to a welding gun and crackled light spots on the workbench while responding to He Ao's question.
"After opening this door, how long is the distance to the core control room?"
He Ao glanced at the dark space around him and asked further.
"Under normal circumstances, it takes about ten minutes, but considering the obstacles you may encounter, sir," A02 said while busying his hands, "it may actually take thirty minutes."
"If someone arrives in the core control room, can you sense it?"
He Ao asked further.
"I can detect if someone is attacking the core control room's gate."
A02 explained, "The gate is still safe now."
In other words, if Yin Weier arrives at the core control room and starts attacking, A02 will be able to detect it.
According to previous estimates from A02, it would take Yin Weier about forty-five minutes to destroy the gate, and He Ao would spend at most forty minutes in total, so he should be able to do it in time.
The bone sword covered with spiritual consciousness should be able to cut open the gate, but the gate is very thick and requires a large amount of spiritual consciousness. Even if He Ao's own spiritual consciousness is exhausted, it may not be enough.
When it is possible to preserve strength, He Ao will give priority to preserving strength to deal with possible complex situations in the future.
After fighting all the way for a long time, even he is a little tired now.
Of course, after analyzing the specific situation, if it doesn't work, he will have no choice but to open the door violently.
And at the moment when he ended his chat with A02, a black shadow suddenly fell from the darkness above his head, holding a mechanical sword in his hand, and slashed towards He Ao.
He Ao had been alert to his surroundings. When the attack came, he suddenly raised his hand and placed the bone sword across his head, blocking the attack with a bang.
But he slightly underestimated the opponent's strength. The powerful impact instantly pressed the bone sword downward, and the blade almost touched the bridge of his nose.
He Ao quickly concentrated his strength on his arm and shook it hard. The opponent seemed not to have expected that his strength would suddenly increase. He accidentally missed and was sent flying out, hitting a collapsed machine.
At the same time as the monster flew out, He Ao also quickly took off the microcomputer on his arm. After taking a look at A02, which was still working, he hung the computer near the switch and raised his sword to look at the black man who had just been knocked away by him.
film.
At this time, a text lit up on A02's screen.
However, He Ao did not look back at A02 at this moment, but focused all his attention on the monster in front of him.
The monster was not tall, about one and a half meters tall. It was covered with fine brown fur, its back was hunched over, and it looked like a wild monkey.
It held a huge mechanical machete with a height of 1.5 meters, and its two eyes glowed with blood-red light.
Although this monkey monster was small, the pressure it brought to He Ao was no weaker than the goat monster he encountered before.
And judging from its actions, it's probably not low in intelligence either.
It should be the monster occupying this laboratory, but after He Ao entered the laboratory, it did not attack immediately. Instead, it kept hiding in the dark, waiting for He Ao to jump out and make a sneak attack when He Ao relaxed.
"hiss--"
The monkey monster looked at He Ao, bared its teeth and roared, then grabbed the mechanical sword in its hands and swung it towards He Ao.
He Ao stepped back diagonally, dodging the swung sword. At the same time, he raised the bone sword and struck it towards the monster's face.
The monkey monster suddenly jumped up, lying on the flying sword, dodging He Ao's blow, and then the sword fell to the ground, and the blade sank into the metal ground.
He Ao quickly changed his moves, turning his chops into stabs, and stabbed straight at the monster.
The monster dexterously grabbed the handle of the knife and jumped down. While avoiding He Ao's attack, it landed on its feet, held the handle of the knife, and used the momentum to swing the sword towards He Ao's waist and abdomen.
At this time, He Ao was very close to the monster. He immediately pulled away and spun around, swinging the tip of the bone sword downwards. The moment before the blade arrived, he threw the bone sword in front of him.
The blade and the bone sword collided again.
This time the monkey monster was not as powerful as before, but He Ao's figure was not as stable as before. Although he mobilized his strength in time to concentrate on his arms and legs, he was still hit by this heavy blow and took half a step back.
The strength of this monkey is not weak, and the weight of this mechanical machete is not low, even somewhat beyond the strength of the monkey.
Several of the monkey's attacks followed the direction of the machete being thrown.
It feels a bit like a child wielding a heavy sword.
But this monkey's swinging skills were very good, and he successfully superimposed his own power with the "power" of the sword, creating a strong sense of oppression.
Even if He Ao mobilized the energy within the body, he could barely block this force.
Just when He Ao took half a step back and was still standing, the monkey standing on the ground suddenly kicked the huge blade upwards.
The force of the mechanical sword that was originally struck horizontally had not diminished. The upward force increased by this kick out of thin air, and then slashed along the blade of the bone sword towards He Ao's palm and face that held the sword.
At the same time, the sharp blade that was originally hidden in the darkness suddenly burst out with bright heat, turning red in color like a burning flame.
He Ao didn't know how much the blade heated up at this moment, but he knew that at this temperature, if he was hit, even C-level flesh and blood would be instantly scorched, and the flowing blood would be burnt.
Bake dry instantly.
And at the moment when the sword was pointed upward, the monkey monster did not stop moving. It raised its head and looked at He Ao, its blood-red eyes reflecting He Ao's body.
Oops!
Seeing this look, He Ao did not hesitate, and suddenly gathered strength on his feet, drew his sword and jumped into the air, like a dragon flying in the air. At the same time, the bone sword in his hand was thrown violently.
The next second he jumped out, two red lasers suddenly burst out from the monkey's eyes, passed through the place where he had just been standing, and hit the collapsed machinery behind him, leaving two people behind.
A molten hole.
However, although He Ao dodged the laser attack, the danger did not disappear. The blazing mechanical sword that was cut from the bottom up was still in the air, coming towards him rapidly.
The sword that was originally just about to hit his hand has now turned into a sword that hit his lower back.
The monkey monster itself calculated He Ao's movement direction. In that very short period of time, if He Ao dodges behind, he will encounter its laser. If he jumps upward to avoid the laser, he will be hit by its upward mechanical sword.
Crack.
It's a dead end anyway.
The sharp sword with blazing light suddenly struck He Ao's lower back.
At this time, the bone sword that He Ao had just thrown also arrived in front of the mechanical monkey monster.
The monkey did not dodge. The sharp sword tip pierced its shoulder, cutting open the flesh and blood under the hair. Then there was a crisp sound, as if it had hit steel, and the bone sword was suddenly bounced away.
Under the surface of flesh and blood of this monkey monster, there seems to be a layer of hard steel skin.
The monkey monster cracked the corner of its mouth, seeming to be mocking He Ao for overestimating its own capabilities. It stared at He Ao, and the burning blade was already attached to He Ao's body. It seemed to have seen He Ao being chopped in half.
