279 distress messages

To be honest, after walking through the portal, the six current members of the search and rescue team, including the search and rescue team itself, are a bit of a blind one.

Although before this, they have done a lot of psychological preparation.

But after really, abruptly entering the interior of a spaceship with real interstellar navigation capabilities, no matter how well their psychological defense line was done, it was finally broken.

The search and rescue team was the first to enter the spacecraft, and it was two hours after he entered that Wu Xiaoqing and the others were notified to enter.

The reason why it's so slow is because the search and rescue team needs to go in and connect to the system.

After Wu Xiaoqing came in, his first impression was the same as the scene he had come into contact with Civilization A, which was that he felt familiar here.

I don't know if it was a deliberate design by the search and rescue team or Civilization A, but the entire interior of the spaceship was deliberately arranged as a building structure on Earth. However, it is just a structure, and the function of a specific thing is completely different.

The spacecraft does not have a command room, or an area with similar operational functions, and according to the search and rescue team, the entire spacecraft is actually like a body to the search and rescue team - this ship is the search and rescue team itself. Strictly speaking, they are all inside the body of the search and rescue team. The control system of the spacecraft itself is set up for the search and rescue team, a real member of the search and rescue team civilization, as for Wu Xiaoqing and them on earth......

On the ship, only cabins resembling a "zoo" can be inhabited.

But it has to be said that even a "zoo" is far more comfortable than the environment on earth, countless times more comfortable.

After Wu Xiaoqing walked into the portal, he almost wondered if he was in the wrong place.

He turned around, the portal was behind him, and Shen Changwen and Yevgeny both walked in with him one after another, but after they came in, they couldn't help but look back, just like themselves.

Because this place is exactly the same as the basement of the Supersky Tower.

They walked to the elevator and pressed the seventh floor where the blue consultation was located, the elevator was the same as the one on the earth, flashing numbers, descending one by one, and even the elevator in the Supersky Building was almost exactly the same as the excessive vibration sound due to poor maintenance.

The only difference is that there are no strangers on the area in the elevator.

In the same way, the company is the same, every furnishing is the same as in memory, except for the lack of those employees and computers.

"Only the electronic equipment cannot be fully simulated for the time being, and the electrical appliances you see now are all re-set on the basis of 0," the search and rescue team introduced the principle here, "The spacecraft uses a similar printing technology principle, theoretically, as long as it is something that exists in this universe, after the principle is clear, it can be copied." But for electronic devices, especially those with storage media, it is not allowed. This is the secrecy rule of the search and rescue team, which is also written into the execution procedures of this ship. ”

Shen Changwen opened the window of the company, stretched out his hand, and was surprised to feel the coolness of his hand: "There is wind here!" How big is it, exactly? ”

"At the moment, there is only this building, and the door of the building is closed, so you can't get out. Everything you see outside now is just a simulation of images," the search and rescue team then reminded again, "Note that this is completely different from the virtual world that Wu Xiaoqing once mentioned. Everything here is made of real physical materials, and the space you are in is also artificially powered by the artificial gravity provided by the rotating chamber, and if you jump from the building, you will be thrown to your death just like on Earth. ”

"Then it will definitely be able to save life here," Xu Yan said with a smile, "The medical equipment must be more advanced than the earth." ”

"No," the search and rescue team said, "unless there is a replica of the Earth's ready-made medical equipment...... Otherwise, there is not a single feature here. Tap water, for example, – the minimum water cycle has not yet been established. Because there is no liquid water in the spacecraft yet. ”

Yevgeny was more concerned with the details related to the mission: "In that spaceship, there are ready-made ones that are suitable for our mission...... Related equipment? For example, some kind of advanced protective clothing or something. ”

"I don't think you understand what I mean," the search and rescue team slowed down, "it's just a rescue ship that has been treated as an antique, and the equipment inside has practical value, and it's long gone." The whole ship has nothing but the power system, and even basic communication and monitoring equipment. Strictly speaking, without teleportation, the ship would not even be able to sail between the stars normally. ”

"Is it because the spaceship is too big and too fast?"

"Yes," the search and rescue team told Wu Xiaoqing, "the ship's power system can allow the ship to reach a quasi-light speed cruise speed in three days...... Flying for a long time at such speeds,1 without the corresponding weapon system, the entire hull would have disintegrated due to high speed. ”

"What does this have to do with weapon systems?" Wang Youquan and Xu Yan asked.

"At quasi-light speed, floating debris in space will have a very lethal impact on the spacecraft, and a meteorite the size of a peanut can produce *average energy when it hits the spacecraft...... It's a blow that no amount of sturdy material can stop. The only way to consider this is to mitigate this impact by accurately locking vaporization before impact......" Yevgeny guessed and asked, "What engine is used for the propulsion of the spacecraft?" ”

"Antimatter engine, tens of millions of tons of reserve fuel on the spaceship......" The words of the search and rescue team made Wu Xiaoqing and the two professors excited, "but it's just fuel...... They are all encapsulated and cannot be taken out for use as weapons. ”

Although it is known that in theory, the ship has a variety of incredible properties, including its size, shape, material, speed, and the level of technology it represents...... But when you really come in, what you are actually facing is the space of a building. The outer area is not suitable for them to visit - the air inside the ship is limited, and the ship itself is not designed for the size of earthlings, so for everyone, the spaceship is just another way of existence.

Einstein's theory described that there is no subjective difference between absolute stillness and relative rest. From the subjective point of view of human beings, there is actually no difference between the skyscraper in the absolute world and the skyscraper in the relative world. For Wang Youquan and Xu Yan, this place was even more fresh and interesting than the space station in the Ascension Realm. But for Shen Changwen, everything here seems so new – complete simulation consistency is more difficult than building a new system.

Two hours after everyone entered the search and rescue ship, the search and rescue team received two messages from the outside world almost simultaneously - undoubtedly the goal of their mission.

Because civilization B is very short compared to humans, only barely taller than human calves, so everyone has begun to call civilization B dwarf. These two messages, the slightly faster one, were sent from the dwarven civilization in a radio-directed way, and the content was simple: "Who are you!" ”

And the one from civilization C is even more unceremonious in comparison: "Leave, stranger, there is war going on here." ”

The location where the spaceship appeared was actually quite far from the BC civilization, but it was not far away - it was almost at the edge of the control of both sides, the outer edge of the 15-planet world. Because the spacecraft itself has a considerable initial velocity, it is making a flat and long orbit along the star. If they keep moving along the trajectory without making any course adjustments, they will be able to officially intervene between the BC civilizations from the side in about a monthβ€”no wonder the other party asked.

I have to say that Civilization A delivered this spaceship to them, and the location chosen was really very intimate, and even the way to cut in helped them think about it. If they need to leave at this time, they only need to activate the teleportation function and let the spaceship work in the existing orbit, and then they can complete the hiding and watch the war. If they need to intervene, they don't even need to calculate the orbit themselves, as long as they have contact with any of the BC civilizations, they will definitely take the initiative to help them clear the shipping lane.

Their spaceship now felt like a giant ship approaching two lighthouses from the ocean, and the lighthouses sent him a message at the same time, and all they had to do was choose. As far as BC is now at war, they are still in a pretty good position to be the owner. If, on the contrary, they appeared too much in favor of one of the civilizations, perhaps it would be not electromagnetic waves that greet them now, but whizzing attack ships and nuclear bombs.

The search and rescue team did not answer rashly, he was still collecting more information, in the known electromagnetic wave frequency band, in addition to the official greetings from both sides, there were countless small frequency bands that sent warm invitations to them, almost all of which were from B, that is, the dwarf civilization.

For this civilization, the emergence of search and rescue teams is, without a doubt, an important event in astronomy.

Imagine if an alien suddenly appeared on Earth one day, how many people would welcome the alien warmly, and how many people would be resentful and intimidated.

Now, among the information received and processed by the search and rescue team, these information from the dwarven civilization and folk account for the main component.

This is also the first-hand information that Wu Xiaoqing and the others got when they came to this mission.

More than an hour later, the search and rescue team found the one he thought was the most valuable from these materials - judging from the content, it seemed to be a distress message.

"Surrender?" Wu Xiaoqing looked at the translated words in surprise, "Is there a mistake?" Does the word surrender mean anything else in their language? ”

"No," the search and rescue team was sure, "whether it was a real surrender or not, we can easily find out." Wu Xiaoqing, you go and get in touch with them. ”

"Contact?" Wu Xiaoqing still didn't react, "Didn't you say that there was nothing in this ship." Could it be that we just drove there in such a big ship? ”

"Of course not," said the search and rescue team, "for such a large ship, a rash change of course and an engine tail flame can create a catastrophic cosmic storm in the interior of the galaxy...... We don't have to go there ourselves, we just have to let them come on their own initiative. ”

"But the distress message says they've lost motivation."

"So," said the search and rescue team, "we're going to send someone to their ship with power." ”

"You mean, teleport in?"

"Yes," the search and rescue team nodded, "I've learned about their attack ships, and humans should be able to move around insideβ€”in some spacious places." ”

"But what about the other conditions? Air, gravity? Wu Xiaoqing remembers very well that the gravity of the planet where Civilization B is located is nearly one-third stronger than that on Earth, and the amount of air they breathe is also very different from that of Earth.

"Don't worry," the search and rescue team said, "the spacesuit, the oxygen tank, it's all ready for you." Your task is simple, go over, pass the fuel, and come back, without even communicating and talking. As a first step in the start of this mission, the first contact with them will be very informative. ”
