Chapter 390: Dormancy and Awakening
"Am I dead?"
In a daze, Brother Ma flashed such thoughts more than once.
Lying in the rescue capsule, you lose all your sense of the outside world, and you can't even feel your own body, only the brain, under the regular action of the life-sustaining system, maintains this part of the activity to avoid irreversible damage to the most delicate and tight brain tissue.
Lying in the rescue pod and leaving everything to luck is undoubtedly a move that will only happen when the situation reaches its most serious and critical moment.
At that time, the spacecraft was at risk of disintegration, and Ma Xiaoke, like everyone else, lay in the ambulance cabin in the apocalyptic rush and chaos, and everything after that was unknown.
How long can this last, theoretically, the energy carried by the rescue pod itself is enough to maintain normal operation for two years.
But what about two years later?
It became everyone's coffin, and if you were lucky enough to be found by the follow-up team of the rescue, you could bury your bones in your hometown.
If you are unlucky, you will turn into a speck of dust in space, floating for an unknown number of thousands of years, and you don't know how far you will float, and where it will eventually fall.
I don't know how many times I have "woken up" like this, and the last time I "woke up", Ma Xiaoke suddenly felt the numbness and slight tingling in his body.
He was not surprised.
Sure enough, the signs of waking up became more and more obvious, and he felt his limbs and began to slowly resume breathing.
Hearing the sound of the nutrient solution gurgling, the eyeballs covered by the eyelids felt the misty light......
All that remains is to wait patiently.
Feel your heartbeat and start counting to feel the passage of time.
After about fifteen minutes, the body recovered from the discomfort of forced hibernation, and he opened his eyes.
At the same time, the hatch of the ambulance cabin popped open, a large amount of cold smoke permeated out, the nutrient solution was withdrawn from the cabin like a tide, and the automatic cleaning and air-drying system began to work.
When the clothes were put on automatically, he struggled to sit up from the cabin.
Looking around, there are all silkworm cocoon-like ambulance cabins.
Some of the ambulance cabins have bounced open, and the men and women are struggling to get up in confusion like him, and some of the ambulance pods are still active, and the people inside are like chrysalis about to break out of the shell - the convulsions of the body, the unconscious struggle, make the cabin seem to be boiling.
Another minute passed, and Ma Xiaoke was completely awake.
Looking at the environment again, my heart sank.
The rescue cabins are all in the cabins that can be ejected outward, and one by one such "coffins" are placed on the track like cannonballs, judging from the traces shown, there have been many cabins ejected out, and there is a large vacancy in front of Ma Xiaoke, and it is roughly estimated that there are no less than 100 such unlucky ghosts.
What about Liu Liu, Liu Liu!!
Looking left and right, the surrounding area is full of cabins bouncing open and smoke-filled environments, and the shadows are full of people struggling and moaning.
Ma Xiaoke wanted to get up from the cabin, but his hands and feet were weak and weak, and he struggled for a long time, except for throwing himself heavily on the ground, there was no obvious effect.
At this time, the cyborg instructor Deep Blue came.
He sits in a self-driving electronic seat, with a data link outage on his head, and his face covered by a dark blue glass mask, looking very stylish, like a big man in a science fiction movie.
"9527, you violated Ambulance Ordinance 107 and your performance will be recorded......"
"What about Liu Liu, is Liu Liu safe?"
"7150 Outstanding ......"
Ma Xiaoke breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't ejected, as long as he wasn't ejected, he was fine.
"9527, the current situation is critical, our resources are seriously insufficient, the sub-commander has the relevant order, please return to your post as soon as possible. ”
Leaving this sentence, Azure made the electronic seat and hurriedly slid down the next target.
With his appearance, a large number of robotic "nurses" poured in.
These iron bumps are not empathetic, and their appearance has greatly accelerated the recovery speed of Ma Xiaoke and these people.
Another half hour passed.
After drinking a bottle of nutrient solution, there was no discomfort, and Ma Xiaoke was allowed to pass.
Leaving the crowded recovery pod, he was sent to the elevator by the conveyor belt, and all he saw along the way was the messy traces of the restoration.
Some of the circuit boards are still exposed, some are directly vacant in large pieces, some are just locked and closed, and there are alternately flashing warning lights to remind people not to enter.
It should be on the moon now.
I just don't know how long it has been since I landed.
Judging from the time of my recovery and the feedback of my body, the time cannot be short.
If it is a short period of hibernation, there will not be such a long recovery time.
The conveyor belt criss-crossed, and all the people standing on it were people like Ma Xiaoke.
At this time, the prohibition of noise did not work, and the sound of earnest whispering, even if there was an isolation of the corridor, could be transmitted.
“…… It won't be a long time coming, right? The current situation gives me a bad premonition!"
"What hunch?"
"Maybe we're all dead, and now it's a hundred or even a thousand years from now......"
“…… !"
"Don't you believe it? Maybe the ship has already wrecked, and we're just clones from an archaeological exercise. ”
“…… I said buddy, your imagination can be a screenwriter. ”
"Hehe, I wrote it before I got off the list. ”
"No wonder, no wonder. ”
A burst of laughter went away, Ma Xiaoke looked at the destination of the conveyor belt prompt, this team of people is from the logistics department, commonly known as the existence of the golden balm, unlike the technical department where he is located, everyone is a stuffy gourd, but no one has such imagination.
Go forward for two minutes and move about a kilometer!
That's not right!
The ship isn't that big.
Have you already left the ship?
So, the lunar base has already been built?
How long has that time passed?
Inexplicably, Ma Xiaoke remembered the joke he had just heard.
And then there was a shiver.
No, it won't!
How can such nonsense be believed?
Don't scare yourself.
When I woke up, I had already observed, and the scene when I landed, and the traces of repair I saw along the way, all ruled out this ridiculous possibility.
"Ahem...... That, hello!"
There was a greeting from the side.
Ma Xiaoke turned around, a colleague who had never spoken.
He wore thick glasses, a ridiculous mushroom head, thick lips, and a freckle face, and at a glance he could roughly judge what kind of person he was.
"Hello. Ma Xiaoke replied.
"How long do you think time has passed?"
Ma Xiaoke shrugged his shoulders, "What are you suspicious about?" The answer will be revealed in a while, don't forget, what are we doing." ”
Yes, as a trainee data acquisition and analyst, what secrets of the ship can be hidden from them!
The man with glasses smiled uneasily, pursed his lips, and said no more.
Another minute, the conveyor belt has not stopped, and the road is still the same, and the scribbled traces along the way are still urgently repaired......
At this moment, the whole team began to stir uneasily.
How is it going to happen?
Where is this going?
Someone started calling for a central AI.
But their privileges are too low, and now there is a state of emergency, and theoretically, the central AI can completely refuse to respond to such boring content.
The AI didn't respond, and was surrounded by a group of confused and apprehensive people.
The conveyor belt hasn't stopped.
The people all around were about to riot.
At this time, Ma Xiaoke calmed down.
If there were really unspeakable secrets and hidden secrets, they would never be displayed so widely.
Even ordinary people can see the strangeness, which proves that it is not strange.
Sure enough, subsequent developments confirmed his judgment.
The long corridor has finally changed.
A number of "lanes" staggered and parallel, and entered a completely closed "road".
The tunnel was no longer paved with steel and electrical circuits, except for the rails on the conveyor belt, and was surrounded by gray rocks.
The lighting was also dimmed, and the lampshades hastily embedded in the cave wall were made of unknown materials, and the inside was not electric lighting, but something naturally glowing inside!
Something that naturally glows?
This is definitely a supply that is not available on the ship.
Otherwise, the data acquisition and analysis unit would never be unaware.
Then it can only be based on local materials.
Moon?
That's when he realized a shocking fact.
He stepped on the land of the Demon Moon and continued to run forward for a distance of about two kilometers.
Magic Moon!
In this way, everything seems to have a reasonable explanation.
Is this a new substance found on the Demon Moon?
Some kind of rock that can glow?
Before such a doubt was solved, Ma Xiaoke felt that the conveyor belt began to rise.
"Do you want to go to the surface?"
Someone behind him asked.
The belt is going up too much, and it's getting faster.
In the end, the scenery of the corridor was almost swept by, and the people on the conveyor belt were a little unsteady on their feet.
At this moment, the one-way corridor suddenly forked, and a new kneeling staggered past it, and a rumbling sound came, and a huge black shadow was seen roaring from the side front.
Seeing that the two sides were about to collide, the conveyor belt came to an emergency brake, and under inertia, everyone flew out.
The people were stacked, blocked by the glass shield of the transmission belt, which was elastic, but no one was hurt, but everyone was dazed.
"You're from that unit!"
Ma Xiaoke struggled to push away a fat man pressed on his body, and saw a steel boot full of rust walking in front of him, and when he looked up, a tall and rudimentary mechanical armor stood in front of him.
Armored belly, made of a man in a silver uniform, special brief.
Adept.
The rename-changing Adeptus shouted again and again, and the speeding black shadow stopped in front of him.
But it was a locomotive loaded with all kinds of equipment and steel.
“…… report, we are trainee employees in the data acquisition and analysis unit. ”
I don't know who answered the Adept.
"Hell, it's a mistake again, send me a group of showmen, what's the use?"
The ability that drove the "Gundam" took a few anxious steps back and forth, then turned around, waved his thick mechanical arm, and shouted, "No matter, it's just human, you all get up and get ready to work." ”
Job!?
What works?
Ma Xiaoke was puzzled and full of question marks.
"Go, go, there's no time, time is life, go, go!!"
In the end, he was almost thrown onto the locomotive.
Ma Xiaoke and more than 20 other talents were thrown onto the locomotive one by one by the supernatural.
Hang out with a lot of shoddy robots.
The robots have not been energized, the surfaces have not been encapsulated, and some of the critical load-bearing and connecting joints have not yet been painted.
Silvery, brand new.
Cumbersome circuit boards, messy circuits don't even do basic induction, they are just messy and tangled together.
These ugly robots stood lifelessly for four whole carriages, and there were more than 20 crooked "showrunners" in the middle.
The locomotive started and roared towards the bright light at the end of the road.
The moment he came to the surface, Ma Xiaoke subconsciously blocked his eyes with his palm.
When the stinging pain in his eyes had passed and he could see a little, he was eager to take in a lot of the environment along the way.
It's really a moon base.
This base is a huge, upside-down bowl on the ground!
This "bowl" is made of a special transparent material, and is supported by overlapping alloy walls and long beams.
Densely packed with robots that look like ants are still welding everywhere inside this huge building.
The bright light seen was not the sun at all, but a continuous arc of welded light.
Inside this huge "bowl", there was chaos everywhere, there was chaos everywhere, the rumbling locomotive was speeding by, and Ma Xiaoke hurriedly looked back at the way he came.
But it's a hole.
A hole carved into the mountain.
There are more than a dozen such holes, and as soon as I saw it, a locomotive full of equipment came out of it and chased after Ma Xiaoke.
"All pay attention, all pay attention, you will be assigned later, and the assigned positions are the key to the shortage of manpower. I don't need you to work, I just need you to use these stupid iron lumps to drive them to speed up the progress of the project!"
"Time is limited, I won't tell you more, you only need to understand one thing, an extremely terrible and dangerous thing - the energy wind is coming, and our main project has been completed by eighty percent, if it can't be completed on time, all the work in the early stage will be in vain, and we have to retreat back into the ground again. ”
Ma Xiaoke understands every word in this sentence, but when they are connected together, he doesn't know what it means.
Energy wind, the main project?
How long has passed, am I still in the 21st century?
"That...... Sir, how long have we been dormant!?"
I don't know who asked the question, which made the more than 20 people still quiet, staring at the "Gundam" in front of them very nervously.
"Gundam" is also confused: "What? What sleeps?"
"Chief, sir, we just got from the survival pod attributes, that, that ......"
"What, what are you talking about?" "Gundam" exploded, jumping to his feet and scolding, "Those idiots in the dispatch room, what are you sending me a bunch of people who have just woken up?"
"Sir, sir?"
"Shut up!"
"That ......" Ma Xiaoke raised his hand in anticipation of Ai Ai, "Sir, we are in the data analysis unit, and we are responsible for the co-ordination, analysis, calculation and processing of information, and the dispatch room you are talking about may be our job ......."
Gundam didn't seem to hear Ma Xiaoke at all, scolded for a while, and said helplessly: "Forget it, now it's a dish, and you don't want to go back to any data analysis unit, just follow me and do it honestly...... As for the time?"
Ma Xiaoke, like everyone else, began to swallow saliva.
"It's been two years!"
"What!!", everyone exclaimed together.
