Chapter 51: The Spaceship of 10,000 Years Ago (1)
The vast universe, the starry sky, the stars, the halo is intertwined, magnificent and poignant.
The ancient spaceship "Firmament", which is tens of thousands of meters long, is like a drop of water in the starry sky, incomparably small. It was Atlantis's technology 10,000 years ago, but until now, it is still not inferior to the conventional civilian ships of the Grand Alliance for Peace. It was the end of its first and final departure, and had been floating for 10,000 years, before finally being captured by a huge nameless planet and becoming its fourteenth moon, slowly moving in the orbit of the giant sphere. The stars orbiting this huge planet are almost made of gas, and they have collapsed, but the miraculous thing is that because the black hole created by this collapse is actually looming, and it does not absorb the surrounding matter at all, not even completely absorbing the light, and there is an indescribable blood color hidden in the darkness inside.
The interior of the spacecraft is power-saving because there is a short dormancy period between the two generations of astronauts. The large hibernation pod is located in the center of the ship, which can be said to be as important as the main control room, and therefore just as sturdy. The ancient computer was faithfully carrying out the hibernation program set 10,000 years ago, and the current generation of the hibernation pod was activated again.
Xiuhai's 10,000-year-long dream came to a halt abruptly, and the hazy dream-making landscape gradually dissipated from her mind, turning into a blank space, and then the color of the lightโshe returned to reality in this way, and in her opinion, it was just a dream of normal length. She is a trained astronaut who does not immediately open her eyes, but opens them in a systematic manner, and then the tube that connects her abdomen to her anus flushes the excreted toxins into the waste pool, and the needle injects a new nutrient solution into her body. The moment Xiuhai awakened, the spaceship began to automatically start oxygen production, filling the entire spaceship. Fortunately, although this spaceship has been scarred and run out of ammunition after a battle with the Ghost Eye Star warship 10,000 years ago, there are still considerable reserves of conventional energy sources, and during the dormant period for so many years, only one or two people are activated at a time, so it is not difficult to breathe pure oxygen even after 10,000 years.
Of course, the premise of all this is that she does not know, ten thousand years have passed.
It wasn't until she waited for the rest of the hibernation pods to open one or two more, but she didn't see them open for half an hour, that she felt strange. Because according to the same regulations and operating regulations of Atlantis and the interstellar navigation law at that time, at least two people should wake up during each hibernation period, otherwise it is inconceivable that one person would have to work on the spacecraft for ten years.
At first, Xiuhai thought that the sleeping cabin was broken, but she tried it, and her sleeping cabin was still very normal, so she was busy lying in front of the computer and pressing it a few times, but found that the sleeping cabin was fine, at least the display on the computer was like this. What surprised her the most was that the hibernation pod in her room was all empty, and there was no one in it!
What about people? She finally panicked, although her good training quality made her mental endurance far greater than that of ordinary Atlantean soldiers, but after all, this is in the vast universe, and if she is not careful, she will be swallowed by darkness forever.
At this time, she began to try to calm herself down and clear her thoughts, knowing that there was no special problem, and she should not contact the headquarters directly for help. So she first thought, why are the dozens of sleeping pods in her room all empty, and there is no companion, only herself? There are more than 20 dormant small warehouses like this, if it is two people every ten years, then it is normal to maintain until now, is it ...... All these hundreds of people are used up?
She was shocked, shook her head, and thought, "That's not right!" If this is the case, the person who completes the task will go to sleep again, and the display of the hibernation pod will show the words "one round is over", how can it be so lifeless as it is now? Besides, the seniors of the previous term should also come out and hand over to themselves! There is no one in the sleep cabin, there are no companions who wake up at the same time, there is no predecessor handover, and there is no word on the display screen......
She suddenly caught a glimpse of the numbers on the large three-dimensional screen in the center, and suddenly the whole person seemed to be thrown into the intersection of fire and iceberg, almost scorched one second, and frozen to pieces the next......
Year 12653!
What the does this mean? Xiu Hai would rather believe that the computer was broken, than accept that it was true! 12653? So many years have passed? Even if the encounter with the three warships of Ghosteye Star caused serious attrition in the battle, it was a tragic victory after all, and there were at least more than 2,000 people left...... But at the moment, this spaceship feels like it is just a tomb in space, swinging around in heaven.
The other astronauts on the spacecraft died? No...... As long as the hibernation pod can still work, it will not die, and will always remain young. But the hibernation pod has obviously not been used, has everyone given up on maintaining the dormancy of youth? No way, no one can't live with life...... If they do, they'll die. Maybe their bodies are somewhere in this spaceship? For so many years, she couldn't imagine what would become of the corpse without oxygen and without oxidation, and the most likely thing was that it would become a solid corpse like a stone, floating from darkness to darkness in the secluded corridor......
She didn't believe that humans could sacrifice their lives so decisively, unless it wasn't a casual sacrifice, but for fear of causing a greater catastrophe, so they would rather let themselves disappear......
Now that this is the case, at least it seems that there is no other possibility, and she can only convince herself to calm down as soon as possible, and prepare the same three things in advance: enough weapons and tools, enough food and water, enough oxygen, and a spare spacesuit. The toolbox, oxygen cylinder and spacesuit are actually very user-friendly under the seat of the hibernation module, the toolbox is small and lightweight, the same is true for the oxygen cylinder, the exterior is very strong to protect against the impact of conventional weapons, and the spacesuit is like an inflatable ball, which can be quickly expanded from very small. These Xiuhai collected three things each, and then activated the cargo robot and the automatic patrol car from the room, loaded the things and went out.
Weapons are concentrated in the arsenal, and they can only be obtained from the arsenal after the captain or the leaders of the major groups sign it, Xiuhai is just an ordinary captain, and he is not eligible to obtain, but fortunately, there is no shortage of cold weapons, she prepared a sharp axe and put it on the saddle, and prepared two electromagnetic vibration swords, put them on his back, and pinned a multi-functional cutting short knife on his calf, and then entered the robot cockpit and drove the patrol car.
Her goal, of course, is the Diet Department, where she can get as much compressed nutrients and water as possible to replenish her energy and prepare for a long-term crisis.
The distance of the spacecraft is very long, and it should have been taken by magnetic rail car to quickly reach the central main control module and the central canteen. But Xiuhai always felt that something was wrong, she would rather take a much slower patrol car than take the risk of going to the magnetic track area, once someone did something there, she would die with no place to bury. As for the canteen, you don't have to go to the central canteen to find food, just find some reserves nearby. Besides, she still feels more secure driving a large labor robot.
The three-dimensional picture of the first generation of captain Fuying suddenly appeared in the display screen projection area of the patrol car, it should be known that all the three-dimensional portraits in the projection area are generally set in the image of the first generation of captains, although it is a virtual image presented by the computer, the real Fuying Captain may be uncertain about life and death, most of them have been killed, but the first time he saw a familiar face, it still made Xiuhai's heart warm.
"The patrol car controlled by the Taiya Type 37 labor robot is driving in Tunnel 29 of Area 3341, please report the identity of the driver."
Xiu Hai hurriedly replied: "I am 22 dormant Xiaoku's seventh sleeping capsule, Space Force Aviation Captain Xiu Hai, female, 24 years old......" She suddenly got stuck, and felt that it was a headache for her to figure out her age, so she turned to ask: "Is it Captain Fuying himself, or is it the computer?" โ
"This is the computer."
"Oh......" Xiuhai shook his head a little disappointed and asked, "Are there any non-dormant astronauts on this spaceship?" โ
"Computer search is abnormal...... Can't answer. โ
Xiuhai asked unwillingly, "So are there still dormant astronauts in the dormant capsule?" โ
"Searching on a computer...... The 6th dormant vault has three signs of life......"
Xiuhai's patrol car stopped abruptly, and then made a special direction, turning back towards the 6th dormant warehouse.
