Chapter 181: The Aftermath of the Catastrophe
Everyone heard a loud scream, and then Zhang Yuan's figure fell to the ground, and the high-dimensional fragments were suddenly reactivated, and everything happened in a short instant, so that many people didn't react at all!
After a brief silence, there was an uproar in the conference room.
“…… What's going on? What's going on? ”
"On the ship...... What's there? Zhang Yuan wanted to say something, but he didn't say it! ”
A large number of questions appeared in people's hearts, and then recalling the roar before Zhang Yuan fell, suddenly there was a creepy feeling.
Some sensitive and timid people have chills in their hearts, and vaguely think that something terrible may have happened.
After a brief silence, the gossip grew louder and louder, "...... If the high-dimensional fragments are so unstable, then there is no value in continuing to explore. ”
"Is there something wrong with the high-dimensional fragments, or is it something else...... Do you need help? ”
"Quiet, all quiet!"
After a few seconds, Captain Zhao, who had come back to his senses, stood up with a grim face and slapped the table hard.
There were two loud bangs that made everyone stop talking.
Glancing at the surveillance screen, the high-dimensional fragments had fallen silent again, as if nothing had happened.
Captain Zhao stated the entire investigation work last night in simple language: "Everyone, there are still some things that I haven't had time to tell you...... In fact, we have overlooked some information, especially some security information. ”
In order to prevent panic, not many people know about this matter, but now it is necessary to make it public.
After a few minutes, the noise went from noise to silence, and then to noise, and it was repeated several times before the conference room finally fell silent.
"Captain, is this true?"
"Like...... It is true that this is overlooked. ”
"It's really possible!"
Zhao Qingfeng stretched out his hand, suppressed all the voices, and said, "It's all just speculation, but the scene that just happened seems to have proved these speculations. What Zhang Yuan wanted to say might be something like 'there is an unknown creature' or 'dangerous'......"
"We have to prepare for the worst."
Everyone's face was not very good, and the thought of unknown alien life forms wandering around and planning something made many people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Captain Zhao frowned and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic first, first of all, we must confirm one thing, is the second activation of the high-dimensional fragment intentionally done by Dr. Zhang Yuan?" Or is it inherently unstable......"
Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and soon, various possible speculations appeared on the screen.
The first is the biggest possibility, the unknown life form guessed that Zhang Yuan already knew about its existence, so he took action to solve him as soon as possible to reduce the trouble caused by exposure.
One of the young men stood up and said, "...... Therefore, according to this calculation, after Dr. Zhang discovered the other party, he calculated it, reactivated the high-dimensional fragments, and sucked them both in. If it is assumed that the high-dimensional fragments are stable, then the second activation in a short period of time must be a trap set by Dr. Zhang Yuan deliberately in order to deal with extraterrestrial life. ”
"Of course...... There is also a certain probability that Dr. Zhang has failed, and the unknown lifeform has escaped and is eyeing us all around. ”
There is never a shortage of smart people in the spaceship, and soon, all kinds of reasoning have reduced the truth of the matter to seven or eighty.
Someone else retorted: "I am more inclined to say that this unknown life form has been sucked in......"
"Because we're talking about it at the moment, defending against it. If it has the ability to kill, why doesn't it kill all of us who know it? In other words, in all probability, Dr. Zhang has already solved it. ”
Captain Zhao sighed: "Your statement is not right. Because we don't have evidence, and if we don't have evidence, there will be a fluke mentality...... Are we willing to cut off the power, shut down all the computers, and switch to emergency manual mode without knowing anything? It's too hard. ”
The expert shook his head suddenly.
Entering a spaceship emergency comes at a huge cost, and many devices can be very cumbersome to restart once they are turned off.
And without the help of electronic devices, the probability of error would be greatly increased by humans alone. In the event of a catastrophic accident in the middle, the consequences are unimaginable.
The discussion became louder and louder, and then Captain Zhao quickly said: "We currently have no way to make a suicide defense measure, but we can make some plans with a relatively small cost. ”
"First send all the idlers into the hibernation chamber, so as not to cause chaos in the crowd. Then turn off some of the unnecessary monitoring devices. ”
"Yes!" Several soldiers hurried out.
In addition to the possibility of the first "alien creature", the second possibility is the instability of the high-dimensional fragments themselves, which will cause irreparable damage to the human body.
Or, in the high-dimensional fragments, there are some terrifying unknown danger factors.
"Dr. Zhang Yuan knew that he couldn't last long, so he wanted to give as many tips as possible......"
These speculations are certainly possible.
Hearing these speculations, Zhao Qingfeng sighed: "Then, let's not consider these miscellaneous things. How long can Zhang Yuan hold on inside, is it possible to save himself again? If he was able to escape a second time, he should be able to escape a third or fourth time. ”
One of the co-captains suddenly stood up and said, "Based on the oxygen reserve, it is only 12 hours at most. Self-help is theoretically possible. ”
"But...... If an unknown extraterrestrial life form is sucked in, it is also possible to escape. So the best thing to do right now is to abandon this piece of high-dimensional fragment and keep it away from our ship......"
When the co-captain made this point, almost all of them fell silent.
After throwing the high-dimensional fragments out of the spaceship, although the chances of human safety have increased significantly, it is clear that Zhang Yuan has no chance of survival.
Even if he escaped from the high-dimensional fragments, it would be impossible for him to live alone in space.
After being silent for a long time, Captain Zhao sighed: "Lao Li, I didn't say it...... I really don't have the face to give such an order......"
"If I really had to vote, I would definitely vote no."
"And, what if that extraterrestrial life is still there? Throwing away the only weapon that can subdue it, what are we going to do then? ”
While everyone was deep in thought, a young man stood up and spoke, "I have thought of a way to send another person into the high-dimensional fragment...... Whether it is rescue, exploring high-dimensional space, or observing whether unknown life exists, someone must re-enter the high-dimensional fragments for another data analysis. ”
"As long as someone can get in again and come out alive, or — they don't make it out alive, we're all able to get out of the way with a lot of distractions."
Because, this explorer will be at great risk to his life!
Looking at the people who were thinking with their heads down, one by one they were making psychological choices, Captain Zhao sighed in his heart, is there no real warrior in a huge new civilization?
Do you want to let him, the commander-in-chief, go on his own?
