"Buzzing" Under the impact of a slight slow-release wave, my whole body cells, especially the nerve cells in the brain, woke up from my slumber, and I seemed to be like an old monster who had been sleeping for a thousand years, and I had never been so excited to restore my senses. I took off my heavy helmet, freed myself from the light-changing seat, and stretched, looking at the endless starry sky in the distance, not knowing that the Asteroid Erin Gentna was hiding under the gravitational pull of that star.

"The faster-than-light voyage is over, and the regular cruising phase begins." There was a loud announcement from the cabin, and in this weightless environment, the sound was so important. I adjusted the magnetic suit on my body, turned on the neutral magnetic state, and staggered a few steps to get used to it, and stood firmly on the floor of the cabin.

"What! I don't think you're used to it! Haven't you ever been on such a spaceship! "Mike Grote, the older exploration rig pilot in the cabin, expertly adjusted his magnetic suit, and gracefully walked towards me in the weightless cabin, while his two rig crew members, Wharton and Ferrasche, were resting with their helmets on.

"I've been on a galaxy ship once, and I haven't been on an engineering ship yet." I replied with a wry smile.

"Oh! No wonder, the facilities on the galaxy ships are much better than those on engineering ships, but you'll get used to it. Mike Grott nodded, but asked with a little confusion, "Then the last time you took a galaxy spaceship was a trip!" ”

I smiled and shook my head, "That's right, where is it possible for me to travel on a galaxy spaceship at my age, I went to the Red Flame Star with the Seventh Fleet when I was at the seventh level of the Great Branch." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a military internship in Dake!" The old man nodded.

He is 280 years old, and he is almost at the age of taking a break from work. He is an expert in exploration drilling. Asteroid exploration is much more difficult than on land, you have to avoid interstellar storms often, and you have to give the rig enough heavy pressure, otherwise the rig may not be able to work at full power due to insufficient gravity. Ever since he stepped on this spaceship and shared a safety cabin with Lao Mai, he has often listened to him talk about all kinds of things he encountered in exploration, and some of the things that are quite mundane can be humorous from his mouth. To be honest, I gradually became fond of listening to Lao Mai's stories, and I often asked him some questions, and Lao Mai seemed very energetic in answering questions, and we often exchanged other things, such as mecha design, star exploration, and analysis of the evolutionary similarity of various races in the alliance.

I don't know when, Wharton and Fersche also leaned over, and the two looked at Lao Mai and talked, Wharton smiled: "Lao Mai, if you put more storytelling energy on exploration, you should be able to get the Galaxy Medal." ”

Lao Mai frowned and glared at Wharton: "Nowadays, young people are as studious as Xiaosu, and there are not many people who are so versatile, so it is generally good to grasp the major often." Most people have a good grasp of their major, but they are not complete in other aspects, and they often disdain things outside their major, which is actually very bad. ”

"However, in modern society, there is a clear division of labor, and there is a specialization in the art industry, isn't it better to specialize in one of them?" I asked, puzzled.

"That's true, but each discipline does not exist independently, they are all related to each other to a greater or lesser extent, and people who know more often can make more achievements in their own expertise, and I know some of these people."

"Let's not talk about that, let's go around first! By the time we get to Eileena, we'll be busy. As he spoke, Lao Mai took the lead and walked out, and a few of us followed.

Case. Captain Locke was in the command cabin with a solemn face, his face undulating with a frowning brow, the vegetation on the mountains was more tightly crowded, and the trees were trying to shake their bodies, hoping that the ground under their feet would return to its former level as soon as possible.

"Haven't you received a feedback signal yet?" The captain propped himself up on the navigation platform with one hand, half-bent, his eyes fixed on the superluminal lightning wave monitor, his resolute square face trying to maintain its usual expression, but it seemed to be more and more unable to hold on.

"No, the location request information has been reposted three minutes ago, and we'll see in two minutes." The beautiful No. 1 navigator Feng Hongyin looked back at the captain and said calmly.

Time never seemed to be so long, every minute and second passed so hard, and two minutes finally passed, but there was still calm on the thunder wave instrument.

"The ship's deceleration device activates and enters a low-speed state." The captain's words were full of helplessness, and the veins on his forehead that revealed his true body couldn't help but throb. Feng Hongyin's slender hand trembled slightly, and then he operated firmly, allowing the spacecraft to begin to slow down.

"The spacecraft is about to decelerate to a low-speed state, and the personnel in each compartment will return to the safety cabin and return to the safety cabin to be in place."

We were still pacing the observation capsule when the sirens sounded loudly in the cabin.

"What's going on, how is the ship flying at cruising speed and starting to slow down, what is this doing?" Ferrasche muttered as he heard the radio.

"Whatever the reason, let's go back first." Although Lao Mai was in a bad mood, he also showed his old ways and took the lead towards the safety cabin.

"Old man, what do you think is the matter, reducing from cruising speed to low speed consumes a lot of fuel, this should be rare, right?" I looked at the old man who was in a bad mood and asked.

"Maybe it's a little problematic! It should work out, though. The old man smiled at me, but it was obvious that he was a little reluctant.

The universe is so vast that the change in speed of tens of thousands of kilometers per second is basically not felt in the ship without a closer reference. After a while, I could barely feel the spacecraft moving forward, and when I looked at the speed indicator in the cabin, it had dropped to 1,000 kilometers per second.

The command module was even busier. Captain Locke propped his chin on one hand, and his right index finger scratched the skin on the side from time to time, and his brow furrowed.

"Continue to send signals, and at the same time carry out systematic inspections of the whole ship, in order of guidance system, automatic navigation system, and power system." As the commander of a ship, he must face any problems calmly and deal with them properly.

After a while, Feng Hongyin's low and cold voice came: "Captain, there is no signal feedback, do you want to continue to send it?" ”

"Wait!" Case. Captain Locke was obviously not surprised by this result, in fact, if he could have received the signal feedback now, he should have received it just now. Case. Locke estimated that there was something wrong with his ship. Then a slightly angry voice rang out: "Is the guidance system normal?" ”

A deep male voice immediately returned, it was Navigator No. 2 Morex: "The guidance system is normal, and the ship is not biased. "Grid. Locke breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the direction was not too far off, it was not a big problem.

"How about the autonomous navigation system." The captain's voice was noticeably much softer, and his fingers were no longer at odds with the skin on the side.

"Still being checked, 30% checked."

The autonomous navigation system is the core of the entire ship's navigation, involving the most subsystems and the slowest to inspect. The dense data on the screen of the self-system control screen jumped rapidly, and the progress bar below was also slowly growing, and when it grew to 45%, two big red words suddenly popped up: "Alarm!" These two words flashed one after another, and the hearts of the people who flashed panicked.

Dense footsteps rushed towards the control screen, and except for some particularly important positions, almost everyone else was crowded in front of the screen, all with wide eyes to see that there was a problem with the subsystem. The captain looked at the word alarm, and then at the progress of the check, and pressed a few keys on the screen, so that the word alarm disappeared and a box of data popped up.

The captain frowned and looked at it, the mountain peak condensed on his forehead was always difficult to evacuate, and it took a long time for a sentence to come out: "The timing system is malfunctioning, what's going on." Keep checking to see if there are any issues with other systems. ”

The crowd immediately dispersed again and returned to their posts to continue their work. The timing system of the self-navigating line is the least likely to have a problem, and now it is only known that there is a failure, but it is not known what the failure will be and what the consequences will be. The specific situation should be fully checked after the system is fully checked, which may be due to software or hardware.

Subsequent checks showed that the other subsystems were normal, and it appeared that this timing system was responsible. Immediately after the inspection, the captain ordered the maintenance personnel to inspect the software and hardware of the timing system, and during this time anyone could only wait.

Since returning to the safety cabin, Lao Mai seems to have been on his mind, and he doesn't talk much, far less talkative than before. Wharton and Ferrasche were a little better, but they could clearly see the worry on their faces.

"Looks like something big is wrong!" I thought to myself, "Why am I so unlucky, the last expedition was considered to have experienced a lot of risks, and this time it is just a regular asteroid exploration, and the probability of encountering an accident on two consecutive trips is very low, I hope this time it is not a big deal." ”

After staying in the safety cabin for a while, the cabin alarm suddenly sounded: "All personnel assemble in cabin 2, and all personnel assemble in cabin 2." ”

Cabin No. 2 is actually a conference room and a place where we usually eat, and generally only the leaders of various departments participate in things, so why do we all have to participate.

Lao Mai sighed, as if he expected this result, and slowly spit out two words: "Let's go!" ”

When I arrived at the command cabin, it was already densely packed with people. Locke, Vice-Captain Ogura, fellow ship engineers. The second cabin is not about 100 square meters, and the meals are usually eaten in turns. Now twenty or thirty people are still quite crowded sitting together.

Several ladies covered their faces with their hands and wept softly, while others hugged each other and wept loudly. The captain looked calm, and after seeing that everyone had arrived, he announced forcefully: "I'm very sorry to tell you the bad news, we are far from our original destination, and we don't know where we are now, we are completely lost." ”

"Buzzing" my head was like a heavy blow, completely blindfolded all at once.
