Chapter 8: Fake Survivors

In a whisper, he looked down at the "squirrel" Dio standing on his lap with a puzzled face, and then got a short answer from him "The answer you want is in the video", and turned his gaze to the display screen in front of him that was still playing the video. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After being brought into the Hope by more than 20 Eagle Commando fighters who were operating the Hornet, it was immediately scanned and detected that the surface of the shell was attached to the control cabin of the adventitious insects that had reached the orange pollution level.

The maintenance engineer who has set the value for the cleaning tank according to the detected level of contamination is waiting for the cleaning tank to be filled with a suitable concentration of cleaning solution. The control cabin that was temporarily grabbed by the gripper on the bridge crane and hung in mid-air above the cleaning tank took a picture that could solve the confusion for safety.

The two mechanics in overalls standing next to the cleaning tank console were zoomed in on and focused by the camera because Dior, who had never slept from the beginning, and then it was unusually clear that it was included in the frame. At the same time, the conversation between them was recorded very clearly.

From the conversation between the two people, Ping An soon learned that in the B world where she is now, it has only been more than 500 years since the Hope left the solar system and set sail.

More than 500 years ago, among all the spaceships that jumped out of the solar system, it was very unfortunate that the spaceship that directly encountered the nest of the adventitious insect after the jump was completed was no longer the spaceship on the sixth coordinate point, but the spaceship on the first coordinate point.

The nine spaceships that encountered the Adventitious Worm at the first coordinate point were not all wiped out in this unfortunate accident, but after losing two friendly ships, they were forced to make a second jump at the same time.

Due to the damage to the hull caused by the fierce attack of the adventitious insect before the second jump, the seven spaceships that made the second jump lost contact with all the other spaceships on the other seven coordinate points due to the failure of the coordinate positioning system, the failure of the communication signal acceleration device, and other reasons that have not been clarified until now.

After the Hope set sail and successfully completed the rendezvous with friendly ships that had jumped to coordinates 2-8 at the same time, the Hope completed the renovation and expansion over the next 100 years, and received a total of three signals from the friendly ships.

The first spaceship, which took hundreds of years to get back to the right course from the wrong position due to a malfunction of the coordinate positioning system, was a sub-ship that had been sent by the Hope very well, and was successfully brought back to the Mothership Hope with people and supplies.

The second and third spaceships, which were unable to quickly transmit communication signals to friendly ships at superluminal speed in the vast universe because the communication signal acceleration device was destroyed, were wiped out by the surprise adventitious insects in the process of continuously sending communication signals at a traditional signal transmission speed that is too slow compared to the speed of light.

When Ping An and Dior first arrived in the B world they are in, the hull fragments they saw floating in space came from the third spacecraft that emitted signals.

The spaceship, which had been alone on its path for more than 500 years, was silent forever after sending three different signals to Hope.

The first signal that the Hope, which sailed on the predetermined path, received a very faint or even indecipherable signal at first, and then slowly strengthened little by little, was the most ordinary daily communication signal. That is: "Here is so-and-so, we are in such and such a position, at what speed, on the predetermined road." If you hear this news, please contact us as soon as possible. ”

After successfully receiving the first signal, which was slowly becoming clearer, the Hope, which responded to this signal, received the second signal after a few minutes, that is, the third spacecraft, in order to mine resources on the adjacent planets, so it issued a course change notice.

After more than 40 years, the Hope finally received the signal from the friendly ship again, and then after responding to the second received signal, it arranged a sub-ship to prepare to take its fellow humans back to the mothership.

It's just a pity that the third spacecraft, when the second signal it sent arrived at Hope, had already encountered the adventitious worm on the star that was expected to be exploited for resources, and sent a third signal - a distress signal.

So, when the Hope was ready to launch its sub-ship and received the first distress signal from the third spacecraft a few hours earlier, the third spacecraft had already broken and disintegrated under the attack of the adventitious insects.

Based on the meaning expressed in the distress signal, "We don't have enough energy to make a spatial coordinate jump, and we also don't have the combat power to resist the attack of the adventitious insects", everyone on the Hope knows that even if they immediately make a spatial coordinate jump and rush to rescue and support, they will only see the wreckage left behind by the fragmented friendly ships after a few hours of the initial launch time of the third signal.

Therefore, just holding on to the last ray of hope and not giving up on asking to go to the scene, more than 20 Eagle Commando operators will use the "palm" flight method to come to the face of Ping An when there is no hope for the ship's accompaniment, and finally mistake her for the only survivor of the catastrophe and bring her back to the mothership.

"After more than 500 years of sailing, I am still searching for friendly ships, and all the spaceships that jumped to the sixth coordinate point are all fine?! Oh my God, Dior, now I finally know, and at the same time believe without doubt, why did you tell me that we had crossed the wall of time and space, from the original world A, to the current world B. ”

After the cleaning tank in the mecha maintenance workshop was filled with cleaning liquid, it was immediately placed in the control compartment for cleaning in the cleaning tank, and the video recording ended under Dior's operation.

And now, Ping An, who stayed with Dior in this control cabin soaked in the cleaning tank, also solved all the doubts in his heart after watching the picture played on the screen, through the two maintenance personnel who had a complete conversation in the video.
