Chapter 10: Twenty Years Ago
The discovery of a hard drive in a 20-year-old abandoned research station surprised and delighted several people present.
Maybe there's any useful information in there?
Stenn subconsciously looked left and right, he didn't understand why this hard drive appeared in the corridor abruptly, could it be that someone had accidentally left it here when they passed by?
Thinking so, Stong turned his head and looked back again, could it be that someone had escaped from here? But when they came in, they didn't find any bodies.
"What's wrong?" Dai Yue asked, "What did you find again?" ”
"Nothing." Stong shook his head.
A few steps further, they also found the chassis of a server, there must be a special computer room for computer servers in Cassini Station, but I don't know why this server was left alone, Shi Teng, Liu Peijia and Dai Yue looked around, and found that it did not suffer any major damage except for freezing hard.
Shi Teng decided not to continue the search for the time being, and the physical strength of several people was exhausted to the limit, so he found an empty tool room near the airlock room to settle down temporarily, and then asked Liu Peijia to go out and call down the few people waiting outside.
"Oh......" Ge Zi cautiously slipped into the airlock chamber and looked up and exclaimed, "This is Cassini Station?" ”
"It's kind of like an ice hole." Zhao Mumu followed behind her, the corridor of the black hole seemed to be the lair of some monster, or the old building itself was a monster, and they were taking the initiative to step into each other's esophagus.
Liu Peijia led them into the tool room, turned around and closed the door tightly.
The situation in the tool room is slightly better than outside, it is also a large freezer, Ge Zi exhaled lightly, whether it is the floor, the wall or the ceiling are covered with thin ice, the cold on this planet is the most terrible devil, terrible in that it is formless and ethereal but pervasive, after the power is cut off, the entire Cassini station is occupied by this devil, the tools hanging on the wall, hydraulic tongs, cables, and wrenches are all frozen together, it is difficult to see their original appearance.
Stong had cleared up a small clearing in the messy room, placed a cold light in the center of the floor in the tool room, and sat against the wall while the others sat against him.
Ge Zi also sat down to rest, her head was still dizzy, her limbs were still weak, she had not fully recovered from the crash, she was so close to death for the first time when she grew so big, now in retrospect, it was not a palpitation but a dream, did she really fall from the "Hades" to Titan? Are you really in a desperate situation of death and isolation? Are you really alive?
The temperature inside the Iron Floating Slaughter is about minus 89 degrees Celsius, and through a transparent mask, the outside world is a hell of minus 180 degrees.
They were very glad that the "Hades" was not damaged when it crashed, otherwise no one would have survived this low temperature for 30 seconds.
Sten took the hard drive out and placed it on the floor.
Ge Zi, Zhao Mumu and Zhuo Zhi's eyes widened.
"Hard drive?" Mu Mu asked, "Where did you find it?" ”
"In the hallway outside the door." Stern replied that he sat down on the floor to rest, trying to get closer to the light, and the most opportune time was actually to make a bonfire, and while the Iron Float was advanced enough to completely insulate itself from the cold, the human senses were still backward to the point where their ancestors had an instinctive thirst for fire in the darkness and cold.
Stern said that humans are also phototaxis.
Unfortunately, there isn't enough oxygen in Titan's atmosphere, and they don't have fuel, so magnesium can burn in nitrogen, but if you put a bunch of magnesium bars together and light them like a campfire, you're afraid they'll explode.
"What else did you find besides the hard drive?" Mu Mu picked up the hard drive and looked at it.
"So far, all I have found is the hard drive, and it has landed in the hallway outside." Liu Peijia said, "Oh yes, there's another server, put it behind your back now......"
Mu Mu turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the server, which was also so frozen that he couldn't see its original appearance.
"Can this hard drive still be read?" Taka was curious, "I don't know what's stored inside." ”
"It could be some experimental data, or it could be ......," Stensn said.
"Cassini Station Accident Record!" Mumu surprise.
Liu Peiqi was not so optimistic, he sniffed - this thing was still bleeding from the nose, but he couldn't wipe it through the mask, Liu Peiqi spread his hands, "What if it's all slices?" ”
"Could it be that there was also a Liu Peijia in Cassini Station twenty years ago?" Stearns rolled his eyes.
Suppose Cassini Station is about to be destroyed and you are asked to flee with your most precious things, what will you take with you? Ordinary people will bring investigation data and experimental samples, but it may not be the case for Liu Peijia to choose him...... He would definitely bring his hard drive to treasure, and Shi Teng knew that Liu Peijia could do this kind of thing.
"Whatever is inside, just look at it." Dai Yue took a deep breath and stood up, "I'll go get the computer, you guys wait here for a while." ”
He staggered out of the tool room.
Ge Zi watched him disappear outside the door, and then leaned against Mu Mu's body, staying in Cassini Station was really much more comfortable than staying outside.
"Xiao Zi, you don't look well?" Stong noticed Ge Zi's face.
"It's just so tired, it's fine." Ge Zi smiled, "I don't know if the people on Earth have received our distress signal." ”
"Definitely got it." Mu Mu put his arm around her, "As long as we stay here and wait for help, we will definitely be able to hold out until the rescue team arrives." ”
Ge Zi nodded, she felt faintly uneasy in her heart.
What caused the destruction of Cassini Station back then?
Whatever it destroyed twenty years ago, if even the intact and sturdy Cassini Station could not survive the disaster, would it be true that the rest of the group would have survived with a dilapidated building?
What if that disaster strikes again?
Ge Zi looked at the wall across the room, and she had a gut feeling that there might be a dark, bloody secret buried here, and that Cassini Station might not be a good place to take refuge, and that it was the secret that buried everyone twenty years ago.
"Hee-hee."
Ge Zi was stunned.
It turned out that Mu Mu was laughing, and she patted Ge Zi's helmet, "It's okay Xiao Zi, don't worry." ”
Dai Yue came back with the computer, he plugged the hard drive into the computer, and tried to read the contents stored in it.
Everybody came together.
Liu Peijia said that it was like a group of people huddled together to watch a film after the lights went out in a university dormitory.
Stong slapped him and said you know how to watch a movie.
Six pairs of eyes stared intently at the computer screen, but unfortunately the computer did not move.
"Damaged hard drive?" Mu Mu asked, "I'll have to go back to see the situation of the spaceship later, can you hurry up?" ”
"It's okay, it's old, take a picture of it." Dai Yue said.
Liu Peijia stretched out his hand and slapped the computer.
"Oh, why are you here to take care of yourself?" Dai Yue pushed Liu Peijia away, clenched his fist, slammed it off the top of his head, and slammed it on the computer with a "huh-" thud, and the computer was smashed.
Then the screen lit up.
"OK." Dai Yue nodded, moved back, sat down and began to watch the play.
The messy code flashed quickly, and after a dozen seconds, the screen went dark again, and then lit up again.
The record, which had been hidden for twenty years, began to play.
"January 28, 2101.
Twenty-ninth of the lunar month.
It is 1365114235.44 km from the Earth.
Titan, Shangri-La Plains.
Cassini Station.
With a heavy click, the lock cylinder withdrew, and the hatch of the positive pressure airlock chamber was slowly pushed open......"
