Chapter 18: Escape

Passenger spaceships are usually equipped with observation halls, so that passengers can pass the time by watching the cosmic scenery when they are bored. The observation hall is equipped with a large area of transparent and high-strength nano material, which solves the contradiction between viewing and protection.

Now that the situation is unknown, the observation deck has become a channel to explore the outside world.

Although he had already smelled danger, this was only Shang Si's subjective judgment, and there was no evidence, and the observation spot in the observation hall with a good view could allow Shang Si to see what was going on outside.

At least, that's what Shang Si thought before he arrived at the observation hall.

However, when he got there, Shang Si's heart sank.

In fact, he secretly hoped that it was all his illusion, and that the ship's vibration was really due to encountering a small meteorite swarm. However, if it is a small meteorite group, then there is no need for the Dodo to close the observation hall in the face of the meteorite group that can be passed by opening the protective shield.

This situation only shows that the Dodo is trying to hide something.

Ding――

A crisp sound sounded in Shang Si's mind.

System Temporary Mission Released: Saving the Dodo Spaceship.

Failure: Obliteration.

It's bad enough to encounter this situation while traveling, and at this time, the long-silent system actually came to join in the fun!

Shang Si pursed his lips.

However, the temporary task of the system also gave Shang Si a hint, that is, the Dodo is indeed facing a huge crisis, and it is by no means as just said in the broadcast, just encountering a small meteorite group.

Shang Si no longer hesitated, and planned to go directly to the command room of the spaceship to see what was going on.

Sune followed Shang Si and walked all the way before stopping in front of the observation hall. Sune didn't ask much, at first he was really curious about what Shang Si was looking for him to do, but later, he was also keenly aware of the danger.

He watched Shang Si stare silently at the closed door of the observation hall, and when he hesitated to say something, Shang Si had already turned around and threw him something directly:

"Open."

Su Ne caught the black box in a bit of a hurry, and when he opened it, it was actually a laser gun.

How could Shangsi have this thing!

Sune was shocked in his heart, these freshly graduated military cadets, it was impossible for the army to issue them weapons.

Without waiting for Sune to ask a question, Shang Si directly interrupted him:

"Load, come with me!"

Before Shang Si's words fell, the person had already strode to the front. Su Ne looked at Shang Si's calm back, and no longer hesitated in his heart.

That man is Shang Si, and whatever he wants to do, he will follow.

……

Area A of the Dodo spacecraft is the area where the Dodo's command room is located, and this area is not allowed to be entered by ordinary passengers.

Shang Si stood in front of the door of Area A and tried his passenger number, and sure enough, he was directly denied entry by the identification system.

Shang Si was a little worried, should he notify the person in charge of the Dodo?

Due to the possibility of any ship being attacked by the Zerg during the Anti-Invasion War, the War Department issued a regulation that if the ship had an emergency, the active duty personnel on the ship (whether they were on leave at the time or not) could take over the overall command of the ship. Military personnel present are allowed to submit a retroactive order to their superiors after the fact.

But after all, the spaceship was privately owned, and it was also placed in the war years at that time, and in peacetime, which owner of the spaceship was willing to let the soldiers who didn't want to do it give him advice. Moreover, the content of that decree at that time was also very rough, and there was no clear definition of emergency situations, so because of this decree in recent years, the military department has caused a lot of lawsuits.

You say it's an emergency, I say no, whether it's or not, no matter which case the two sides have to argue for a long time, the result may not be clear.

Therefore, the lower house of the Sheng Yue government has proposed to repeal this decree this year. It's not a time of war now, and if there is an ordinary problem with the spaceship, you can seek the help of the route police, why is the army's hand so long!

Therefore, in this situation, if the person in charge of the Dodo is unwilling to let Shang Si intervene, Shang Si will use the law to pressure him, and it is estimated that no one will be afraid. The person in charge of the spaceship did not give permission, and Shang Si could only look at the door and sigh.

There is a high probability that this will happen. Shang Si was wearing a military academy uniform when he boarded the ship, and he didn't believe that the people on the ship didn't see it. Even if this is ignored, when the light brain on the spaceship encounters a serious threat, the identities of him and Su Ne will be automatically called up by the light brain to notify the captain. And now that no one on the ship has informed him, then I don't want him to interfere.

Shang Si had a headache for a while.

During this time, the number of times the spacecraft was hit was not much, but Shang Si could clearly feel that the intensity of these impacts was getting stronger and stronger. This is not a good sign. Either the thing on the outside is getting stronger, or the ship's shield is getting thinner. Either way, it's not good news for an aging ship like the Dodo.

Just as Shang Si was looking at the closed door and thinking about whether he was going to find a staff member to hold him hostage, Su Ne behind him spoke.

"I can try to open the door here."

With that, Su Ne walked to the front and connected his light brain with the recognition system at the door.

Shang Si was a little puzzled, he didn't remember that the logistics supply department had an intrusion system, wasn't this something that only students in the information department had to learn?

The identification system is controlled by the central computer of the spacecraft, and it is not possible to crack it without hard work.

But to Shang Si's surprise, Sune quickly completed the identification, and the door opened with a bang.

"I'm not good at information technology, this time it's just luck." Sune seemed to sense Shang Si's doubts, and explained a little shyly, "The Dodo's system has not canceled the emergency takeover procedure. ”

As soon as Su Ne said this, Shang Si understood. The emergency takeover procedure was a companion procedure to the military takeover of spacecraft decree, and at that time, in order to prevent the ship's owner from obstructing the command of the servicemen, the emergency takeover procedure was added to all ship-central control procedures that left the factory. As long as the military's optical brain is connected, the emergency takeover procedure will be initiated, and the military personnel present will automatically become the highest authority of the spacecraft.

However, this procedure was abolished much earlier than the Takeover Decree, and even thirty-year-old ship systems were no longer mandatory when they left the factory.

However, the factory time of the Dodo is 360 years of the cosmic calendar. It is forty years old...... Moreover, both the exterior and the interior of this ship show that the owner of this ship is definitely not a generous person. He didn't care if the paint on the outside of the spaceship fell off like that, how could he spend money to upgrade the system program that could still be used?

Sune had wanted to spend ten minutes cracking the system, but the age of the Dodo inspired him. He directly connected to the emergency takeover procedure, but he didn't expect it to be really successful.

This saved Shang Si eight minutes of his time.

Shang Si wanted to thank Sune, but as if something was urging him in his heart, he strode towards the door without even having time to speak.

Sune followed.

Since Sune invoked the emergency takeover procedure, in theory, Shang Si was unimpeded along the way. But in order to reduce conflicts and save time, he still tried to avoid the manually guarded posts on the passage, but fortunately, there were only two such posts.

In order to bypass the last artificial post, Shang Si had to choose a remote path. This road mainly leads to the life-saving compartment, because the accident rate of the spacecraft is now alarmingly low, and the place where the life-saving compartment is placed is rarely visited.

Shang Si didn't think he would meet anyone, but he didn't expect that just around the corner, he would hear the voices of two people.

Shang Si stopped, silently approaching the corner, he needed to see who the people over there were.

But before he could see the man, the argument became louder.

"Captain Aubrey, you can't do this!" The middle-aged man with a beard said.

"Be quiet, ......be quiet," the old man, known as Aubrey, looked nervously around to make sure there was no one, and he let out a sigh. I said, old man, I'm doing this to save my life! And, for the sake of my many years of friendship with you, I also called you! ”

"You called me, should I thank you?!" Algernon said angrily, "I thought you had thought of a way to get out of trouble, but I didn't expect you to fight with this idea!" ”

"What's wrong with my idea! I just want to live! Something is wrong! ”

"If you want to live, no problem! But you want everyone on this ship to die! "Aren't you afraid that you will be held accountable when you go out?" There were hundreds of lives on board! ”

"What about hundreds of lives on board! It's like they don't have to die if I'm here! Aubrey retorted, "I'm not a savior, and my absence doesn't affect the final outcome!" ”

"That's right! You are not a savior! But you're the captain of this ship! This ship is yours! You're responsible for the people on this ship! Instead of thinking about how to sneak away now! Algernon didn't expect his friend to be such a person, he thought he was just picking on the door, but his nature was not bad. As a result, when he encountered something, he actually wanted to leave the person who dropped the spaceship to escape for his life first!

But Aubrey didn't think there was anything wrong with that. "I said, old man, just because I'm the captain, I know that whether I run or not, this ship is going to be finished, don't you know what's going on on board? We can't beat that Zerg at all! Even if you fight with it, it's a crashed life! I know we can't beat it, why do we have to die here in vain! ”

Algernon was the first captain of the Dodo, and he knew very well what was going on with the ship. Even if there was only one Zerg outside, the old obsolete weapons on the spaceship would not be able to kill it at all, and the energy of the shield could not last until the nearest supply point sent reinforcements. So abandoning ship and running away is also a solution. But......

"Aubrey, the ship's shield can last for a while, why don't you announce all the passengers and arrange for them to go to the rescue compartment?"
