Chapter 425: Corpse

The Vanguard spacecraft performed a continuous scan of the ship, including the simultaneous activation of smart detection, to determine if there were any signs of life on the ship. The final result made Su Yichen and his wife breathe a sigh of relief, the battleship did not react with any signs of life, so it was basically certain that the crew on the battleship had lost their lives.

After determining this situation, the Pioneer spacecraft began to approach it, and more than an hour later, when the distance between the two sides approached to a certain extent, the image of the battleship was already clearly displayed on the bridge, but when they saw its full picture, both Su Yichen and Luo Yan were stunned.

"So badly damaged?" Luo Yan was very surprised, she was right, the damaged state of this battleship was simply unexpected, the entire huge battleship not only had a big hole on the front side, but even the middle of the battleship had a hole with a diameter of nearly 5 meters, as for its tail, it was also missing a piece, as if it had been cut off by a knife, seeing the appearance of this battleship, Luo Yan immediately remembered the scene when she found the commercial spaceship in that small galaxy.

However, the condition of the two ships was the same, but the damage to this ship was still better than that of the commercial ship that had disappeared by nearly a third, and at least it remained largely unchanged except for the missing part of the tail.

What was the reason why this battleship was damaged to such an extent, even Su Yichen, who had lured the unknown fleet into launching an escape plan, was a little stunned. Could it be that the other party suffered from spatial instability during the forced entry into the jump flight, which caused the hull to break? Or is it an accident that occurs after the battleship has lost its curvature state and falls from the curvature flight? Or is it something else? Su Yichen couldn't judge these for a while, but when he saw the tragic appearance of this battleship, at least he could be sure that the crew on the battleship would not be able to survive at all in this situation.

In other words, what was in front of them was only the wreck of a battleship, which could no longer pose any danger to them. See this. Although Su Yichen and Luo Yan were a little happy, there was also a trace of pity and sorrow in their hearts.

In the vast universe, life is extremely small and fragile. No matter what civilization it is, it is only a very weak party in the universe as a civilization entity, just like this battleship. How majestically it had chased the Pioneer spacecraft with its companions, but now it was a pile of dead things, and if nothing else, it would float forever in this airspace until one day it was attracted by the gravitational pull of a planet or star, fell and even burned, becoming the most primitive molecule.

can sigh to sigh, Su Yichen and his wife still want to understand each other's identities and figure out why they want to chase after them. Of course. There is one more thing, and that is what happened to the commercial spaceship back then, which has always been a mystery, and perhaps this mystery is now the time to reveal.

"I'll go up and have a look." Su Yichen said to Luo Yan, Luo Yan nodded knowingly, as husband and wife, they don't need too many words, just a look or even a movement can understand what the other party means. Su Yichen decided to land the damaged battleship to take a look, and Luo Yan had no doubt about it. She would remain on the Vanguard spacecraft to assist her husband in his operations.

When the Pioneer spacecraft reached nearly one-tenth of an astronomical unit distance from the ship, the Pioneer spacecraft, which had been detached from its curvature, began to slow down further. Gradually keep a synchronized distance with the battleship and gradually get closer. At this time, Su Yichen had already changed into his spacesuit, the spacesuit they used was not an ordinary spacesuit, this was the spacesuit equipped on the Homeland spacecraft, this spacesuit could ensure Su Yichen's safety during exploration, and its lightness and particularity were also extremely high.

As the Pioneer spacecraft approached the battleship. When there was only a distance of more than 2,000 meters between the two ships, Su Yichen, who was wearing a spacesuit, was ready, he was waiting quietly in a cabin, and Luo Yan was still on the bridge, assisting Zhi Brain in controlling the Pioneer spaceship. The docking procedure of the two ships began.

After about ten minutes, the Pioneer spacecraft has flown to the top of the battleship, and under the analysis of the intelligent brain scan, it selected an area that is convenient for docking and began to extend the docking cabin to the battleship, and after a while, the Pioneer spacecraft docked smoothly with the battleship under a slight and almost imperceptible shaking, and then the automatic equipment carried at the other end of the docking cabin began to open the hull of the battleship, and when a light was lit from the cabin where Su Yichen was, the entire docking was completed.

Su Yichen stood up, he took a deep breath, and opened the hatch in front of him, outside the hatch was a short passage, it was better to say that it was a passage than a small house. Su Yichen walked in, and when he entered the inside, the hatch just now automatically closed, and the internal air was immediately withdrawn, and when the green light in front of him turned on, Su Yichen opened the front hatch again, and what was shown in front of him was another longer passage, and this passage was actually the docking cabin.

Walking along the docking compartment passage, there was another hatch at the end, the other side of this hatch was the interior of the battleship, Su Yichen stood in front of the hatch and stopped for a while, and then opened it, when the hatch opened, a darkness appeared in front of him, and in this darkness, he could vaguely see the outline of the scene inside the battleship.

Now, he was standing at the door of the battleship, and if he stepped forward, he would enter the inside of the battleship.

"I'm going in, stay in touch at any time." Through the communication equipment, Su Yichen said to Luo Yan who was on the bridge, and at this time, Luo Yan was also watching her husband's every move through the information transmission device on Su Yichen's spacesuit on the bridge.

"Be careful, and if there's an accident, remember to come back immediately." Luo Yan's voice sounded in Su Yichen's ears, Su Yichen agreed, and then turned on the auxiliary device of the spacesuit, with the help of the auxiliary device of the suit, the darkness inside the battleship became clear and abnormal, and the outside was a passage-like place, judging from the appearance and structure of the battleship, the area he was in should be the main passage inside the battleship.

Walking into the main passage, Su Yichen looked back and forth, the main passage was very long, and there were some branch passages connected between them. The ship's hull was larger than that of the Vanguard spaceship, and it would take a lot of time to walk from one end of the passage to the other at the average human walking speed. However, Su Yichen, who was wearing this spacesuit, didn't need to take so long. However, this was the first time he had entered the interior of such a battleship, and he didn't know what the internal structure of the battleship was, so it would take him a lot of time to figure it out.

As Su Yichen walked along the main passage towards the bow of the battleship, trying to find the center of the battleship's bridge, he was also observing the internal structure and damage of the battleship. On the surface, the ship was slightly more damaged than the commercial ship they had found. But when he went inside the battleship to search all the way, Su Yichen found that the inside of the battleship had also been greatly damaged.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about this main passage, there are traces of damage in many places along the way, and even when he passed through a branch passage connected to the main passage, he was even more surprised to see that this branch passage even collapsed, the interior was as if it had been squeezed by some force, the entire passage has been greatly distorted, and some large and small metal fragments have blocked this branch passage tightly.

What's going on here? Su Yichen was a little puzzled, what kind of force and what reason could cause such a situation to happen? Stood outside the feeder passage and watched for a while. Even reaching out to take a small piece from the floating metal fragments, Su Yichen found that the strength and toughness of this alloy metal were no worse than the hull materials built by their Pioneer spaceship, but even if such a high-strength alloy metal material became like this, you can imagine the severity of the damage caused by this battleship.

Shaking his head, Su Yichen didn't let himself guess about these for the time being, after all, as long as he found the bridge of the battleship, and found the location of the battleship's intelligent brain or information storage, then he could figure out how it became like this. Turn around. Continuing along the main passage, he came to a corner after more than ten minutes. At this corner, the main passage is divided into two parts, the left and right.

"Analyze it, where is the position of the bridge?" Su Yichen did not choose whether to go left or right, but asked Luo Yan to use the intelligent brain of the Pioneer spacecraft to assist in analysis through communication.

"Wait a minute." Luo Yan's voice sounded, and after Su Yichen entered the battleship, the monitoring equipment carried by his spacesuit kept transmitting information to the Pioneer spacecraft, and at the same time, Luo Yan, who was on the bridge, was also building a template according to the content of the information transmitted back. to restore the structural diagram of the battleship.

This is not only to understand the overall structure of this warship, but also to understand the information that is very valuable to them, including the entire civilization of the earth. This is an unknown fleet with leap technology, and this warship is one of them, although they don't yet know which civilization it is in. But just from the point of view of having leap technology, this civilization should be an extremely high-level cosmic civilization, and the structure of a warship of a cosmic civilization like this is of course a rare treasure.

After only a few seconds, Luo Yan came to the conclusion that according to the structure of all the information now, the probability of building a template according to the structure of all the information now is 34%, and the probability of the right passage leading to the bridge is as high as 79%.

"Understood!"

Su Yichen replied, he chose the left passage according to the probability and continued to move forward, the left passage was still very long, and he didn't see a single corpse except for the inside of the broken hull along the way, this is a strange phenomenon, could it be that everyone was not outside when the accident happened, but all went to the bridge or stayed in their cabins?

However, this thought only flashed in Su Yichen's mind, and he didn't think much about it. Continue to walk along the passage, and walked forward for another ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up, and when he saw a large hatch at the end of the passage, Su Yichen was a little happy in his heart, Luo Yan's module was established very accurately, and this was indeed the location leading to the bridge.

This large hatch was the entrance to the bridge if there was no accident, and what made him even happier was that the hatch was open, which meant that he could enter it without any effort. Su Yichen walked a few steps forward quickly, and when he stepped into the hatch, his eyes couldn't wait to look towards the space inside.

That's right, this is indeed a bridge, and Su Yichen was sure of this when he first saw the space inside. Walking into the bridge, Su Yichen still didn't see any corpses, this situation made him stunned, although the damage to the battleship was very serious, it was not serious enough to make the corpses disappear, right? And what about the people in this battleship? Did they disappear out of thin air?

Thinking of this, Su Yichen couldn't help but look up at the top of his head, because at this time, he recalled the scene when he entered the commercial spaceship, in the case of weightlessness in the universe, the corpse might float, not as usual.

But he looked in all directions, and after looking for a long time, he couldn't find any corpses. When this phenomenon was discovered, a strange feeling surged in Su Yichen's heart, and he suddenly thought of the legend about the ghost ship in the earth novel, could it be that this battleship had become a situation similar to a ghost ship? But as a scientist, a cosmic explorer who had crossed galaxies and even sailed to the distant Andromeda Galaxy, Su Yichen couldn't help but shake his head and threw this boring thought out of his mind.

"Huh!"

Just as he shook his head, his eyes suddenly saw that there seemed to be a figure in the corner of the bridge, Su Yichen was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly walked in that direction.

The bridge was large, larger than the bridge of the Vanguard spaceship, and the corner where the figure was located was actually on the other side of the bridge, near the rear of the center console. There was a row of chairs here, and there was a person sitting on one of the chairs, this person's head was drooping, because he was blocked by the tall chairs, so Su Yichen didn't notice it at the first time.

Walking closer, Su Yichen came to this person, and he didn't need to take a second look to conclude that this person was dead. The person sitting in the chair was wearing a spacesuit, his spacesuit was a uniform-like style, exactly the same as the style in the previous unknown fleet fleet communication message, and the person's head was pulled, and he couldn't see his face clearly for the time being, Su Yichen did not recklessly stretch out his hand directly, but deliberately squatted down, and then looked up. Who would have thought that when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, he was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but shout: "How could it be him?!" (To be continued......)
