Chapter Twenty-Four: Entering the Nest of Mysteries
If you look at the scene upright, the blue simulated light washes everything that is wrapped in filthy darkness from beginning to end like a stream of water.
We are dancers in the dark, in the final struggle against the so-called fate.
Everyone waited with great anticipation for the final result.
Happily, the transporters are still intact in the large storage compartments.
This is a fact that is visible to the naked eye!
Everyone began to gather together, and with excitement began to examine one after another their precious hope of getting out of here.
The reason why it is necessary to gather together is because it can effectively protect the lives of all those present.
Their eyes refocused on the massive transporter closest to them in front of them.
Unlike the small and compact fuselage of the destroyed Thunder, this large man has a huge size.
After all, this is not where the warhead belongs, and its main function is to detect the hidden secrets of the surface of the transport "last leaf", as well as the huge available resources. Therefore, all models have been greatly strengthened in terms of transportation function.
In contrast, the designers abandoned most of the firepower capabilities.
Maybe we'll see those deadly ghosts in the second half of the warehouse!
"Let's call this big guy "Meteorite"! ”
On the day of the inauguration of the "Meteorite", all the R&D personnel seemed to see the infinite bright world of the future, and they were happy that they could also contribute indirectly.
The Meteorite has nine other siblings to take on the role of the main control station and the outpost.
Its role is to sit in the center, and with its powerful throughput ability, it will bring all the valuable treasures it has grabbed back to the home planet that is full of blue oceans.
"I'm honored to meet you! Mr. Meteorite. Paglia silently said hello to the big guy in the bottom of her heart.
"Let's go, let's go up and see how it goes, I don't know if it can still be used?" , he beckoned to the crowd backwards.
These antiques simply don't look good in front of intelligent AI, because the tasks they perform determine their construction.
Members of the ground command center, who are usually always on the ground, closely follow the movements of the "Meteorite". So that they themselves can effectively control the private property of the so-called all mankind and safely return to the secret base on the ground.
The main reason is that the trust between the people behind the scenes is not enough, and they are afraid of each other for the other party to make a living to steal the benefits they want. After all, good things still have to be in their own hands to be stable.
The federal civilian legislators once had an interesting proposal to add more or less intelligent AI to all aircraft in service. The positive effect is to reduce the huge amount of manpower and material resources required for manual control, which can save the Federation a lot of unnecessary spending.
The ideas are good, and the positions are clear. It's a pity that it didn't get any support for its attitude, and it ended up being over.
Even today, with the rapid development of intelligent AI, we can't rely on them too much. Unless you can guarantee that the top intelligent AI in your hands is completely made by someone you know.
Otherwise, it is the easiest thing for a person with bad intentions to try a little trick in it. No one can afford this seemingly small risk. No matter how big your heart is, you won't be able to withstand the pain of a small thorn piercing your hand.
Unless you're a fool or a madman, choose whatever!
Paglia would rather choose to be the fool herself.
As a civilian without any family background, what he did was watered by his sweat and blood step by step. He has only seen the flowers, but he is still a long way from the final fruit.
Xiaoqiang and Xiaoying, the two living treasures, were picked up by him on the road, and the relationship between him and him and it is not a simple relationship between using and being used. After all, when Paglia thinks about her shabbyness, she doesn't have enough value to attract others to prying eyes.
He dared to entrust his back to the two of them, which was the result of many practical tests.
Puglia would rather believe that this is a treasure given to him by God!
So a fool will never have too many doubts about the reality of this world!
………………
Kitty Hawk had successfully used the storehouse's control equipment to open the hatch of the Meteorite, and a long alloy staircase slowly poked out, slowly touching the ground under the ancient music of mechanical sounds. I guess it's because there are giant gears working in the catapult device!
Sure enough, it's an old and reliable guy who relies on a one-time trigger device to use gravitational potential energy for a purpose. It avoids the possibility of wasting energy once. In the case of a devastating blow to the power equipment inside the transporter, the basic escape ability of the cabin crew after the forced landing can be maintained.
If the forced landing fails, then it's a different story.
Therefore, the labor cost of maintaining this primitive machinery is extremely enormous, but these costs are not worth mentioning compared to the reliability of the resources it does.
Xiaoqiang took the lead, and Paglia followed closely behind and boarded the "Meteorite".
Xiao Qiang threw a few balls of fire into this dark space the moment before entering the hatch.
As the name suggests, a ball of fire is a spherical object that emits fire. Its principle is simple, using the energy of internal reactions to emit light like fire. In the same situation, a small, controllable fusion device would give it the ability to break free from gravity.
However, it is better to use this little thing sparingly, it can turn into a bomb full of energy with nowhere to release at any time. If you are under the pressure of some force majeure.
There are pros and cons to everything! While we enjoy its convenience, we always have to bear the risk that comes at any time.
In 1846, when nitroglycerin was discovered by industrious and intelligent scientists, mankind's destructive exploration of nature rose to a new level. But the huge rewards that come with it completely overwhelm everyone, but this kind of thing is extremely uncontrollable, and they tend to cause irreparable damage to the holder due to the slightest violent vibration.
It's self-inflicted! The whole world is in a balanced environment of yin and yang flow, and there is really no need to suffer from gains and losses!
Balls of fire floated around Paglia and Xiaoqiang in a regular manner like the elves of the night, and a warm feeling enveloped them.
It was as if the early spring sun had expelled the cold of midwinter from my body, and the feeling was very clear and beautiful.
It's a pity that that kind of pomp and circumstance will never return.
The slightest glare of light envelops everything around us,
The Kitty Hawk directly leads to the ramp of the cockpit, so you will be greeted by complex instrument panels all over the line.
Paglia looked at it carefully, then waved his hand to signal Xiaoqiang to go back.
"The instrument is mostly intact, without any major defects in visibility, so the basic inference is that these things are still in good working order! We don't have to worry. ”
Kitty followed and gave its own analysis on the autologous ecological device in Paglia!
"It's just that the wheelhouse and the transport pod seem to be two non-intrusive spaces, with no intersections with each other."
Xiaoqiang just saw such a key point.
"You're stupid! The things that are transported are, of course, extremely confidential, and it is impossible for non-essential knowers to know the key information. ”
Kitty replied mockingly.
"I'm just expressing my opinion!" "Why are you scolding me?" Xiaoqiang said his thoughts angrily. If it weren't for the critical moment now, he would have rushed up and scuffled with Kitty Hawk, even if Kitty had no entity, but the meaning of the fight still had to be shown.
Form is indispensable!
Paglia's steps out of the cockpit stopped at a moment, and time seemed to stand still.
"Hurry, hurry, we need to find the logbook and find out the last time of the Meteorite. He urged Xiaoqiang to hurry up.
It seems that some remarkable secret has been discovered.
After some tossing, Xiaoqiang and Puglia in the clutter pile finally found the notepad with precious meaning.
Unable to hide her inner emotions, Paglia turned the logbook to the second half, and then turned back page by page, so that she could find the last note in the shortest possible time.
It reads:
"September 13, 2250 AD.
The space environment is relatively stable. Departure back to Blue Starfish after verification and approval.
The integrity of material storage is 96%.
Returns the highest level.
A very high level of attention is required. ”
Next, the captain's tirade on the flight time is recorded bits and pieces, and I will not repeat it too much here, after all, it is a trivial matter.
Paglia swept the lines quickly.
He discovered a useful pattern, the captain of the "Meteorite" always liked to fill his leisure time with small and delicate little things. But by the end of the return mission, the captain's record had become a little stranger.
His notes don't seem to be as agile and ethereal as they used to be, but they seem dull and lifeless. The actual content above has also become regular, and there seems to be a huge black shadow hidden under the quiet silence.
The reason for this change is, in the most popular terms, the change of the recorder.
The last page of the entire logbook turned out to be a sentence: "We're finished!" ”
The handwriting is back to the lazy captain's attitude.
If he had encountered unknown risks before this, how did he express his cry in the last moments?
Incomprehensible!
This is a strange mechanism of events, and it is completely impossible to speculate with common sense!
