Chapter 25: The Truth
"A lot of big things have happened to you during your coma?"
"What's the matter?" Jiqing said eagerly, could it be that the relationship between Renhe civilization and human beings has broken down? Although Zhao Kun's decision was made out of his own intentions, how would Zhao Qian understand the human race's practice of assisting Zhao Qian in destroying the taboo of benevolence and civilization?
That's right! It's an expulsion!
Jiqing is very afraid of the excesses of Ren and civilization, and their planetary ship has the ability to destroy the Kwafu fleet in a very short period of time and effortlessly.
"What do you think? The expression is so funny, haha......" Xiao Bahaha laughed, "Look at your expression, after experiencing the invasion of dark rain, how can you get sick, your body is not good, and your courage has become smaller." ”
"What the hell is going on?" When Jiqing saw Hachi's performance, he knew that things were not as bad as he imagined.
Isn't that the thing?
"Okay, okay, for the sake of you're a patient, I'll let you go this time." Xiao Hachi had a pitiful expression on his face. "Strange to say, just when you were in a coma, there was a large-scale failure of the ship's systems, which was even more serious near the main engine, almost 70% of the systems were paralyzed, and the Kuafu suddenly lost all power."
Could it be the energy wave that Zhao Kun sent out at the end? Jiqing is a little unbelievable, Ren and the ability of a single individual can paralyze Kuafu? Last time, I felt Zhao Kun through my thoughts, although it was huge, it didn't make people feel threatened, and now Jiqing recalled that huge body actually had a terrifying feeling.
Everyone thought that it might have been hit again by dark rain, but if you look closely, it doesn't look like it, Renhe spacecraft is floating smoothly in front, there is no irregular point damage inside the spacecraft, and the vital signs of some unconscious crew members are normal. It's like some kind of energy explosion, a device that affects powerful high-energy particles, but it doesn't cause serious damage. ”
It's really an explosion of energy, Ji Qing thought, but everyone may not guess that this is just the energy generated by Ren and a living being.
Later, everyone speculated that it might be an unknown cosmic phenomenon, and order was quickly restored. However, what is more thrilling is at the moment when the system fails to restart. ”
"What else?" Jiqing looked at Xiao Bayan and wanted to stop, "Is it the main engine problem?" ”
"Huh? Did you just overhear something, so accurately? The answer was revealed in advance, and Xiao Hachi, who was originally selling Guanzi, was a little interested, "The reaction of the Blazing Dragon, one of the four main engines, began to get out of control, and a huge amount of energy erupted uncontrollably, instantly pushing the Kuafu out of 20,000 kilometers. The huge kinetic energy once again plunged Kuafu into a short-term chaos, but fortunately, Kuafu's emergency system had an effect, everyone stuck to their posts, and the emergency mechanism was activated in time. ”
Referring to the four main engines named after the ancient Four Elephant Sacred Beasts, the Blazing Dragon, the Burning Tiger, the Xuan Turtle, and the Flame Sparrow, were built by the new Kuafu with the help of the Renhe civilization, and its nuclear reaction form is more efficient and stable, which is a technology that human beings have not yet fully mastered, that is to say, without the assistance of the Renhe civilization, human beings cannot build it again.
Jiqing immediately realized that Zhao Kun's experiment was carried out in a main engine, and the internal environment of the engine provided by Renhe should be similar to the technical principle of their planetary spaceship, and it was also the environment in which they could survive.
The blazing dragon engine suddenly changed, did something happen to Zhao Kun?
"What happened next, what happened to the main engine, is there a conclusion?"
"No, the mutation of the main engine has seriously threatened the safety of Kuafu, and the whole ship's system has just experienced the invasion of dark rain, and it has been hit by this energy explosion, and it is no longer able to control this engine. With the approval of the General Command, an emergency separation ejection of the faulty main engine was carried out. ”
Jiqing knew that this emergency system had been completed at the beginning of the installation of the main engine, just to prevent this from happening, after all, it was still a little difficult for human beings to master the technology of Renhe civilization.
"What about the Blazing Dragon Engine?"
"About 64 minutes and 10 seconds after separation, it was destroyed. Luckily, the Ninhe spacecraft discovered the crisis, and the moment the engine shell melted into a fireball, it hit it with a stream of high-energy matter, causing the small sun to not explode, but to burn violently and turn into a cloud of dust. The situation at that time was really dangerous, according to the people in the scientific research department, if the engine had a nuclear explosion, the powerful shock wave could cause irreparable damage to Kuafu, who did not have a sufficient safety distance, after all, the shell of Kuafu was eroded by the dark rain, and the strength was far less than before. ”
Destroyed? With the same power as this super nuclear explosion, what happened to Zhao Kun?
Ji Qing's heart skipped a beat, he didn't think that the powerful Ren and the life could resist this type of destructive power, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't anything special happen after the separation of the Fire Dragon Engine?" ”
"Special circumstances, aren't you?" Xiaohachi is not very sure, after all, most of the news it can get is rumors within the public system, "The main control radar has been monitoring the Qinglong engine throughout the whole process, except for a large amount of energy escaping, there is no other situation, it is estimated that the scientific research department is now analyzing the reason." ”
Zhao Kun is dead? Jiqing felt a little sad in his heart, and he didn't know if it was for this fighter who left alone for his ideals, or for the future of Kuafu's father.
If this situation is passed back to their family by Zhao Gan, it is very likely that Renhe Civilization will stay away from Kuafu for the sake of their ancient taboo, and even cut off contact with human civilization from now on.
"Speaking of special cases, let's take a look at the sleep regulator you have modified indiscriminately." Hachi suddenly snorted and said, "I said don't let you move, the instrument you use under your head suddenly heats up and smokes, if I hadn't found it earlier, I wouldn't have cooked your head." You'll want to thank me for saving you twice this time. ”
"What's baked?" A familiar figure came into view, it was Dr. Yifan, Jiqing's psychiatrist. "I don't smell anything strange?"
"Why are you here?" Jiqing wanted to move his body, but his brain refused the command, and only his own eyes and expressions moved, vividly showing the local reaction of a person who was about to sit up.
"How's your body feeling?" Seeing this scene, Dr. Yifan covered his mouth with his hand and laughed, then walked quickly to Jiqing's side, leaned down and gently touched Jiqing's door with the back of his hand, and the slightly cold soft touch made Jiqing feel very comfortable.
Dr. Yifan's appearance here made Jiqing a little surprised, now Kua's father is very busy with work, everyone wears many hats, and there is basically no extra time. However, since Jiqing discovered the secret of the sleep therapy device, her identity has been obvious, she is the person Shaohao uses to spy on him. But there are still a few questions, does she know herself? Shao Hao will definitely not casually reveal the matter of benevolence and civilization to others, so what excuse did he use to explain it to Yifan?
"I saw your situation in the crew case bank and was a little worried, so I rushed over." Doctor Yifan nodded, brushed the blanket over Jiqing's body again, and then sat down beside him, reaching out to put his hand on his pulse. In this traditional way of taking the pulse, experienced doctors can feel the subtle differences that cannot be measured by the machine, and can diagnose some diseases. "The information says that you are causing physical symptoms in your sleep, and it is likely that it is a physiological reaction caused by psychological reasons."
"I feel a little bit controlled now." Jiqing tried to raise his arm, but found that there seemed to be no problem again. "What's going on?"
"It's just psychological." After measuring his pulse, Yifan did not withdraw his hand, but put it on Jiqing's wrist and held it slightly, which made him feel a little embarrassed. "It's okay, rest well, you'll be back soon."
This thoughtful move made Jiqing feel that she shouldn't know that Shaohao used this instrument to monitor herself, and she should just simply execute the orders issued by the system according to the regulations.
"Is it caused by the burst of energy from the Blazing Dragon's engine? I've heard that a lot of people have symptoms of coma. Xiaoba interjected next to him, covering up the reason for Jiqing's coma.
"Maybe, I don't know, the scientific research department is sorting out the data, I believe there will be results soon." Doctor Yifan asked suddenly. "I seem to have heard you talk about sleep regulators when I walked in the door? Roasted? What are you talking about? ”
"This ......" Hachi's logic system is a little short-circuited, he can't lie about the crew's problems, but Jiqing asked him not to casually reveal his transformation of the instrument, once this question continues, Hachi can only say it all according to the pre-set of the system.
"Just now, Hachi said that the instrument was burned out." Jiqing hurriedly took over the question, "Maybe it's also because of the energy explosion, I heard from Xiaoba that many instruments have been damaged." ”
"yes, yes." Xiao Hachi nodded next to him and agreed, "The instrument burned out when the energy exploded, if I hadn't reacted in time, Jiqing would have been finished." ”
"Ah, I'm so sorry, did it hurt anywhere?" Doctor Yifan held Jiqing's wrist tightly and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's not hurt, don't listen to Xiaoba, the situation is not that serious." Jiqing hurriedly said. "You can't be blamed for this, no one can control the energy burst of the main engine, and the problem with the instrument is not something that a doctor can control."
"I will not shirk responsibility for this matter, where is the burned instrument? I'll ask someone from the research department right away. "Dr. Yifan is obviously a very responsible doctor.
At this time, the sleep regulator can't be handed over casually! Under the guidance of Zhao Gan, he had transformed that instrument, and it was likely to be the instrument that was burned by the two forces when Zhao Qian resisted Zhao Kun's energy explosion in the end. This matter must be confused, if Doctor Yifan returns the equipment to Shao Hao, it is fine, if it is directly handed over to the scientific research department, the matter of the instrument will definitely be exposed, when Kua's father is already so confused, Jiqing is not willing to give birth to anything else.
"In ......" Hachi just wanted to answer, but Jiqing immediately took it and said
"It seems that I lost it in the chaos, I don't know if I fell into the corner of that passage now, Xiaoba, you go back and look for it now." Jiqing felt that if this lie was to continue to be spread, he must open Xiaoba, or sooner or later he would be exposed.
"Okay, Jiqing was in a crisis at the time, and I didn't pay attention when I rescued him, so I'll go back and look for it along the road immediately." Hachi quickly understood what Jiqing meant, and now he is probably using two things, manipulating the mechanical arm in the room, while studying the dismantling method, while finding a place to hide the scrapped sleep regulator.
"It doesn't matter if I can't find it, after this time, I will do a simulation experiment with the same type of instrument. This situation is dangerous, and I will definitely find out why, and if it is only a special situation, I will definitely put an end to it. ”
"Thank you for your concern," after Xiaoba left, Jiqing hurriedly changed the topic, "Dr. Yifan has always been very concerned about my condition, and at this critical moment when the official parts resumed operation, he also made a special trip over, which is really serious and responsible." ”
Without Hachi by his side, the room suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere seemed to have changed in a different way. When Jiqing spoke, he looked carefully at the person in front of him, and realized that the current doctor Yifan had changed a lot compared to before, and his tired expression and slightly messy clothes all revealed the hard work she had paid and the spiritual baptism she suffered in the dark rain crisis.
The medical and health department is at the forefront of rescuing the casualties. However, whether it is the psychological pressure of going to the danger zone or seeing the tragedy there, they have been greatly affected psychologically.
And now, they do not have time to restore the scars in their hearts, in addition to treating the wounded in the absence of conventional equipment, but also to assist in checking and counting the loss of various medical equipment, and carry out emergency repair and sealing of dangerous equipment, waiting for the professionals of the comprehensive maintenance department in the later stage will be in accordance with the unified arrangement of the General Department of comprehensive inspection and repair in different regions and stages.
Of course, for equipment with seriously damaged core components, it can only be dismantled and scrapped, and some parts that can be used are sorted out for other uses. In the absence of a large amount of equipment, there will be more work left to them later.
Dr. Yifan sensed the other party's different eyes, and when she looked down at her clothes, she suddenly found that her hand was still tightly on the other party's wrist. As if she realized something, she gently withdrew her hand, lowered her head and silently arranged her clothes, trying to smooth out the folds that could not be flattened.
After a long time, she stopped her movements, suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth again and again, paused for a moment, and finally lowered her head and still spoke.
"I'm sorry!"
"What?" Jiqing didn't understand.
"I can feel why you're reluctant to give me the instrument......"
"Why, I'm just ......" He hurriedly tried to defend himself, but the other party continued as if he hadn't heard.
“…… I've been lying to you, though...... Actually the person you are looking for...... It's me ......" Yifan raised his head, there was something more in his eyes, these things were so shiny, so that Jiqing could believe every word the other party said in his heart, and later he realized in retrospect that it was sincere!
"Is that you?" This sudden change of topic made Jiqing not understand what the other party meant.
"When we met, you had a feeling that I was familiar with. It was only when you told me about your dreams that I realized that I was right and that you and I had the same qualities. This trait makes it easier for us to catch the signals sent by the Jen and the individual during sleep, and to receive their guidance to achieve a synchronicity that can communicate. ”
"You are the object of Zhao Kuntuo's dream." Ji Qing only had a feeling that the other party knew something before, but he had a preconceived idea of looking for the crew member through her, and completely regarded this feeling as a kind of nervous psychological reaction of his own, it turned out that Doctor Yifan was the crew member who had talked to Zhao Kun's communicator.
"I've always wanted to talk to you about this because we both have the same experience, but the difference between me and you is that after communicating with Zhao Kun, I thought about it a lot, and finally reported this information to the General Headquarters. Later, I was asked to keep my experience top secret and not to disclose it to anyone. ”
"Then you ...... my business."
“…… Yes, I also hesitated, and finally decided to report it to the top management of Kuafu. …… We can't deal with this matter, the life form of the Renhe civilization is completely different from that of human beings, and there are also great differences between traditions and habits, and in the early stage of the important run-in between the two civilizations, I can't take this risk to fulfill the request that can affect the relationship between the two civilizations. ”
Jiqing agrees with Dr. Yifan's words that from the perspective of the whole concept of human beings, she is doing the right thing.
"I understand what you're doing, why are you telling me about it now."
"I don't know, maybe it's because of the arrival of this crisis, we really experienced the ordeal of life and death, discovered things that we could never have imagined, and saw Renhe's spaceship...... All of this may have changed who I am. ”
Yes, after people encounter different things, there will be changes, and this change is related to the size and severity of the matter, and the changes are also large and small, which vary from person to person, sometimes small to inaudible, sometimes big to personality change. The Father has experienced a life-and-death crisis, and I believe that many people will change because of this.
"I also know that you were originally transferred to the Vanguard Ship, but you didn't make it because of the dark rain. Now that the sleep therapy machine has damaged your brain, I am a little skeptical and I don't understand why these two things happened to you by coincidence. I used to think that you should be protected by everyone, especially the high-ranking people of Kuafu, and should protect the connection between humanity and benevolence, but you don't seem to have it, why would he do this? ”
"He? Who is this person? ”
Yifan hesitated, but still shook his head and did not answer.
Jiqing didn't continue to ask, he knew who that person was, and there was no need to confirm it through Yifan.
"What is Zhao Kun's request?"
"Look for Yao, or his inheritor. I know from Zhao Kun's mouth that Yao is the first communicator between humans and Renhe, he found a way for humans to communicate with Renhe, and is a hero who saved a generation of Kuafu from danger. But I searched for information about Yao for a long time, and found that this legendary person did not leave a trace, as if it did not exist at all. ”
"I once suspected that something was wrong with my spirit, but Zhao Kun and Yao were actually characters I made up in my mind. But...... Zhao Kun let me see him, from the starry sky telescope, I saw the meteorite-like celestial body, he regularly emitted bursts of light, proving his identity. ”
Although Jiqing communicated with Zhao Gan many times, and had contact with Zhao Kun a few times, and even saw Zhao Kun through Zhao Gan's feelings, he had never actually seen these two alien visitors, and he had only conceived them in his heart through Zhao Kun's story of the first encounter between humans and Renhe.
Zhao Kun is different from Zhao Gan, he seems to be very willing to share this experience, this experience seems to have left a deep impression on him, is it because of Yao?
"After meeting Zhao Kun, I quickly made a decision, the responsibility for this matter was too great, and I couldn't bear it, so I directly reported the news to the senior management of Kuafu. …… He...... quickly found me and took over the contact with Zhao Kun with special equipment, and I don't know what happened next. ”
Does Shao Hao represent the high-level of Kuafu, or himself, or ......
Jiqing thought of the relationship between Qingyu and Shaohao, and Yao once had a deep contact with her......
Is Shao Hao Yao's heir? Is Yao still alive......
and the essence of life that Zhao Kun is pursuing, all the answers to these are concentrated on Shao Hao......
"I think you should report your information as soon as possible to clear up any misunderstandings." Yifan said solemnly, "This is what we should do now......"
"I'll look for his ......" Jiqing looked at the person in front of him and did not refuse her kindness, because he also needed a truth.
