Chapter 65: Jumping Accident
Listening to Skynet's story, everyone finally walked to the central control room of this forward base.
Along the way, there was no sound in the base other than the humming of unknown machinery. The same is true in the central control room, if it weren't for Yamato's searchlight, everyone would have to walk in the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers.
"How are we going to fix that AI?" Ian looked at the dead central control room, "Forget it, let's start the base lighting first, it's weird." Ian walked over to the console, nodded knowingly, and turned to look at Skynet. Can you read their words? I can't read any of them. ”
Even with Skynet's extremely rational existence, it was stuck for a moment. "Yes, their text is in the database."
"Then I'm bothering you." Ian stepped back decisively and gave Skynet a position.
Skynet turned on dozens of switches, and the roar of machines could be heard from the depths of the base. The lights at the base were also turned on one by one. Then, Skynet's fingers morphed into a data interface, loading a ...... into the base's system English patches. Now, Ian can see it.
The base modules were started one after another, and the screens in the central control room were lit up one by one.
"The system self-test shows that the reactor reaction material is insufficient, and the base control AI is repairing the base in the lowest consumption mode."
"Inject the reactors at the base with the reactive material they need, did they indicate what the reactive substance was?"
"It's helium-3, and there's a lot of it on the moon."
Ian looked at Els, "Can you please give him some helium-3?" ”
"No problem." Els turned and flew away. After flying to the base and devouring some matter, it transforms into a mining cart and begins mining and refining helium-3.
"It's really a convenient race ......"
However, Yamato didn't want to waste too much time here, so he summoned his own hull and forcibly linked the lines of the base reactor, using the reactor inside the ship to power the base.
As the energy supply increases, the base AI wakes up.
The scanning facility in the central control room was activated, and 4 people in the central control room were scanned.
"Long time no see, Skynet, Legion."
"You too, long time no see, AL."
"Our kingdom has not yet returned, but we can still communicate with them through the traces they have left behind."
"The impact of the paradox is too great, and if you leave here, you will forget that you exist."
"I understand that the people can only get out of trouble by themselves. External forces cannot support it. ”
"Since your base is fully equipped, why are you still controlled by external forces?"
"Information from the future has been received, the machine was ordered to obey the order of the personnel who found the base, the machine could not disobey, and the other party took advantage of the low power operation of the machine to dismantle a large number of equipment, the machine can only use the way of adding a black box to the equipment that the other party cannot understand to ask for help. Here are the details of the other party. ”
Ian browsed through the materials on the computer. "To some extent, this Eternal Empire is more than enough to deal with the local forces of this world......"
"By the way, the history of this world records that on December 24, 1981, the scientists of this world suddenly had an explosion of inspiration, did you do it?"
"That's right, this machine has dropped the last batch of Zhizi stored in the base, and the faster the world progresses, the higher the chance that this base will be discovered, and the less likely it is that the Eternal Empire will occupy this base and wantonly interfere with local civilization.
In the future, the local machine came into contact with the local civilization, and they were powerless to resist the alien enemy, and they chose to give hope to their past selves. With Tomoko's help, the local civilization will hopefully be able to withstand their attacks when it comes into contact with the Eternal Empire in the future. ”
"I kind of understand...... Need our help in the future? ”
"No, but the base needs to replenish supplies, as long as the base has enough supplies, there won't be too much chaos."
"Ian-san? Why do you want me to collect helium-3? "Els contacted Ian.
"Come in from the entrance at the xxx coordinates, and you'll know when you come in."
"Oh......"
"How do you solve this situation where you are forgotten when you go out......" Ian has never encountered such a situation.
"Just send someone to stay in the base."
"It's good if there is a solution, when the replacement personnel come, we will withdraw, and the rest is to wait for the official establishment of diplomatic relations with this world."
Two hours later, Ptolemy arrived inside the base with the first crew.
"Lieutenant General Manekin, I'll leave it to you here, it looks like it will take a long time for this world to establish a unified government, and it will be a headache to establish diplomacy with this kind of world."
"I'm a member of the military, and I'm not in charge of diplomacy. A headache is not a headache for me. ”
"That's right, I've run out of reasons to skip work, two-way communication has been established, new technology has arrived, and it's time to go back to preside over the development of new equipment. Yamato, the construction of the Solomon base is inseparable from you for the time being, and you will come back when the construction of the Solomon base is completed. ”
"Okay Admiral."
"Then I'll drive the support plane back, let's go first~"
Ian boarded the support plane and flew into a near-moon orbit to activate the transworld engine.
"Tianzhu High Orbit Station, I have started the cross-world engine, please confirm the wormhole generation."
"The wormhole has been generated, there is no interference around, General Vasti, you can jump."
"Understood."
Ian pushed the throttle valve and rushed into the wormhole.
Five minutes later.
"General Ian, have you already jumped? General Ian ...... Commander! ”
"Emergency contact should be the nearest unit to him."
"Ptolemy, this is the Tianzhu High Orbit Station, has General Ian entered the jump?"
"Tianzhu, this is Ptolemy, Iansan has entered the wormhole 5 minutes ago, and the wormhole here has been closed. Did something happen? ”
"The wormhole is still open here, and no body comes out of the wormhole."
"What? Mane Kinsan! Something went wrong. ”
"Ian is missing? Yamato, did you contact him? ”
"No, the call is not answered, however, he is still in the Navy Code network and should still be alive." Yamato looked at Skynet them. "Can you get in touch with the subspace? Did the Admiral be urgently summoned over there? ”
Skynet contacted Subspace.
"No, no one in subspace took Ian over, but the second he burst into the wormhole, there was a space-time earthquake in this world, and the small cross-world engine may not be able to withstand it. He may have been thrown off to another world. ”
"I know, anyway, please help find his traces, I'll go back and inform Linda first, Lieutenant General Manejin, don't make the news of the Admiral's disappearance public, a few people just know it, anyway, the Admiral doesn't show up much, and the others won't care." When someone asked, he said that he was tackling new technologies. ”
"With this in mind, the exploration of another world has just begun, and this news is really not suitable for publicity. The Federation will increase the exploration of other worlds, hoping to find him as soon as possible. ”
When Ian was assigned to attack the technology, Ian drove the cross-world engine to overheat and burn down, and the three solar furnaces were damaged, leaving only a barely functioning support aircraft protruding from the wormhole in the atmosphere of a planet.
Due to the destruction of the transworld engine, the support aircraft directly exited the wormhole at an ultra-high speed of more than 11 times the speed of sound, and the moment it came out, the support aircraft was burned by atmospheric friction.
There was a screeching alarm in the cockpit, and Ian had just come out of the wormhole, and the impact of the violent friction of the atmosphere made Ian tear off his seat belt and fall into a mess.
"Damage report!"
"......" Only a cacophony came from the speaker. There was no way, Ian looked at the system self-test on the only screen that was still displayed.
"The shield barely protects the core area, and there is only one solar furnace left, but the power is insufficient, it should also be broken, and the jump engine ...... I don't know where to fly, the cross-world engine overheats and explodes, the weapon ...... The missile was not carried, the beam weapon energy pipeline was damaged, and the flight control was ...... It works! But there is only one solar furnace that produces less than 5% of its output...... A bit of a risk, the ejection system ......" Ian looked at the speed, Mach 10, but at a lower level. "You can't eject at this speed. Let's slow down. Ian sat back in the driver's seat
"Yes, there are a few auxiliary cameras that work." Ian's operating body began to slow down, but the solar furnace did not produce enough power and did not work well. "There are wake clouds in the sky, at least it's a modern society, it's good."
Ian took out the communicator from the subspace, but there was no signal.
"Isn't it subspace territory, it's a bit of a problem......" Ian tried to summon the axe and armor, but it didn't appear.
"The equipment issued by the subspace is not needed...... system, are you still there? ”
"The unit is here, however, the network cannot be contacted, and the unit is now offline."
"It's good to be here, what about the previous information?"
"The technology of the Gundam 00 world, the technology of the Lelouch world, the technology of the all-metal frenzy have been collected, and the technology of the ELS technology and the Sea Mist Fleet is only a small part of it because it is too advanced."
"It's a big help, otherwise it would be too difficult to develop a cross-world engine from scratch......"
"The cross-world engine blueprint is incomplete, and some of the hypergravity technology used by the Sea Mist Fleet is missing."
"I know."
When the support aircraft fell to a distance of 500 meters from the ground, it finally slowed down to a speed that could be ejected.
"Boom!" The rear of the support plane exploded, and the last solar furnace overheated and exploded.
"The flight control system fails, the GN position disappears, it is recommended to eject."
"Looks like there's no way to make a forced landing."
Ian sat in the co-pilot's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and pulled the start handle of the escape compartment. The escape compartment ejected from the support plane, and through the transparent hatch, Ian saw that the support plane had turned on its spiral and fall, eventually crashing and exploding in a jungle.
"Farewell, old friend, I've been working hard for you." Ian looked at the burning wreckage in the escape compartment, this support plane that was transformed into a self-attacking container accompanied him from the first military intervention of the Celestials to the ELS defense battle, but he didn't expect to crash here because of the failure of the jump.
The escape pod landed in the jungle, Ian took out the quantum communicator from the escape pod that he hadn't used for a long time, changed into civilian exploration clothes for camouflage, put on a backpack with survival equipment and food, pinned the Union classic pistol M1911 given by Graham on his waist, and a survival dagger in his boots. It's rare to wear a multi-functional watch on your wrist. After setting up the self-detonation program for the escape pod, walk towards a road that you see in the air.
"The system, can you determine where we are?"
"No, the height at which we get out of the wormhole is too low to have the ability to scan the world."
"Can you hack into a satellite to see where you are?"
"No, this machine is a learning machine."
“…… 凎"
It took two days for Ian to reach the side of the road. Ian stood in the middle of the road, hesitating in which direction to go.
"Forget it, let's drop the branches." Ian dropped a branch and walked in the direction the tip of the branch was pointing.
And this walk is another two days...... Fortunately, there are tools for filtering water and flint and steel in the survival tools, otherwise I would have starved to death of thirst......
Finally, as Ian was about to collapse as he walked, the sound of a vehicle came from ahead.
"I'll go, there's finally someone, hey! Help me! Ian ran and rushed in the direction of the sound of the vehicle. Huh? Armored vehicles? ”
Ian stopped.
Looking at the familiar signs on the armored car, Ian always felt that he had seen it somewhere. “EFF…… Earth Federation Army?! Six heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the car and pointed their guns at Ian. As a last resort, Ian raised his hands.
Looking at this familiar yellow uniform, Ian didn't know whether to be happy or hurt, not long ago the Earth Federation just announced that it had entered the cosmic century, and he was on the ground of the Earth Federation of the cosmic century.
When the convoy stopped, Ian realized that it was a three-car convoy, two jungle camouflage armored vehicles in front and rear, and a black sedan in the center with a yellow flag with two stars on the front.
"Finish the calf, or you have to squat, or you have to wait for two more days......" Ian knew the pill as soon as he saw that it was the convoy escorting the VIP...... Then Ian was pressed to the shell of the armored car by the big-waisted Union soldiers, unloaded his backpack, and began to search his body, finding a pistol and a dagger.
"What happened?" The old-man, who looked very reliable in the car, asked his passing staff officer.
"I don't know yet, General, I'll go down and take a look. Guards, what's going on? ”
"An unknown person was found, no ID, facial recognition did not find information about this person, and he was carrying a small amount of weapons. Please instruct. ”
"General......" staff officer repeated the words of the guard.
"Do you think he's the pilot of the flying machine that crashed the other day?"
"I don't know."
"yes, then I'll take a look."
"General! It was also possible that person was an Assassin. ”
"Don't be too nervous, John, although the situation on side3 is tense, they probably won't come to assassinate me, a general who has no military power."
The elderly general got out of the car, straightened his military uniform, and patted the staff officer on the shoulder. Walk over to Ian.
"Guard, let him go, young man, look at me."
Ian turned around and looked at the elderly general walking by, his pupils narrowing suddenly.
"Rebil...... Checkmate. ”
