Chapter 211 Core Safety Cabin
From space, this oblique fragment belt of hundreds of kilometers is just a narrow trace across the red plateau, but as the distance approaches, its true face also appears in front of everyone.
This is a vast redstone plateau, with an average height of more than 3,000 meters according to the planet's gravity level, and is made up of rocks and soils rich in iron and silicon, of which rocks occupy the vast majority, which makes the whole plateau appear very barren, of course, considering the overall environment of the planet, this barrenness is spread all over the world. Stones, barrenness, drastic atmospheric changes and level drops, all kinds of cruel natural factors swept the plateau madly. For hundreds of millions of years, the entire plateau has been covered with all kinds of weathering and tearing marks, horizontal canyons, patches of wind-eroded rocks, and you can even see the traces of the wind sweeping through the entire plateau and connecting the lines - these traces and inscriptions have been carved into the stone, becoming somewhat exaggerated wind ducts.
In the midst of those dense lines of wind erosion, a ravine six kilometers wide and two hundred and twenty kilometers long slanted there.
The deepest part of the gully is 73 meters deep, and from the beginning of the gully to the distance, it becomes shallower and thinner, and finally disappears into the vast plateau, showing a trend of radioactive attenuation as a whole. At the edge of the ravine and around it, all kinds of silvery-white metal structures are also scattered radially, those metal structures are essentially huge metal fragments, some are directly inserted into the ground, and the part that points obliquely to the sky is a hundred meters, and some are falling on the side of the ravine, like a building - the number of fragments is uncountable, they are so messy but roughly radial walking in the entire ravine, from a distance, it seems to be a steel city.
Just by the sight that appeared in front of you, it is not difficult to imagine the tragic scene when this steel city was formed.
On this silent and uninhabited planet, a huge spaceship with a length of at least six kilometers suffered some kind of fatal injury, smashed headlong on this stone plateau, before the impact began, the structural strength of the entire spaceship was on the verge of disintegration, so it did not smash out a huge impact crater, but directly shattered layer by layer, rolling towards the distance, in the process of some of the spacecraft's power system and stability system have not even been offline, it tried but in vain to stabilize the ship's attitude, However, with the gradual disintegration of the spacecraft, this effort can only ensure that the spacecraft "advances" in a straight direction, and eventually forms a straight "oblique fragmentation belt" on this plateau.
Looking at this spectacular but desolate scene in a daze, Hao Shen and Sun Xin were a little speechless.
"It's unimaginably tragic."
"I'm more concerned about what happened to this ship...... To lay such a long oblique fragment belt out of debris is not something that ordinary disintegration can do. Lilith, can you get closer? ”
Lilith nodded, and lowered her height to a hundred meters above the narrow silver ribbon of shards.
The proximity of the distance made the details of the entire oblique fragmentation zone more revealed, and everyone saw large pieces of alloy steel plates, remnants of metal columns, and irregular metal fragments covering the ground, because of the climate on the surface of the planet, the entire oblique fragmentation zone was in the wind belt, and layers of fine sand came from afar, drowning more fragments.
"It's kind of weird about the debris looking like it." Lilith spoke, her brow furrowing slightly as she looked at the debris of the ship on the ground, "This is no longer something that can be described by 'disintegration'. ”
Sun Xin scratched his head and said, "If it's not disintegration, how can we explain that the entire spaceship is broken all over the ground?" ”
Lilith didn't reply, but glanced at Hao Shen.
Hao Shen nodded, also with a strange face: "There are indeed weird...... Even if a spaceship disintegrates, it must be carried out according to its own structural level. The size of such a spaceship is definitely more than six kilometers or even larger, but you see, the size of these fragments is only a few tens of meters at the largest, which is obviously unreasonable. ”
Sun Xin still didn't understand, "What's unreasonable about this?" This shows that the damage it suffered before it crashed was quite severe. ”
"That's not what it meant." Hao Shen thought for a moment and made an analogy: "Let's compare this spaceship to a car." No matter how badly a car is hit, even if it is broken all over the ground, some key parts can definitely be preserved, such as the door is the door, the engine is the engine, and the bumper is the bumper, they may bend and twist under external forces, but they cannot be directly turned into pieces...... In terms of the ship's proportions, it's like a car crashing into a wall and shattering into powder......"
Sun Xin's face suddenly twitched: "I'm really ...... you say that."
"Can you figure out why this ship crashed? I want a definite answer. Hao Shen pinched his chin, and his intuition told him that the cause of the ship's crash was not trivial.
"As long as you can get some fragment samples and the condition of key parts, it should be fine." Lilith called up the virtual screen and sent several drones down, which would automatically look for the debris of some key parts of the spaceship, such as the engine, power furnace, central control and other crashed places, and collect the necessary information.
However, just as those drones were dropped, the hull of the Defender-type spacecraft suddenly shook!
"What's wrong?" Sun Xin was startled and subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the chair next to him.
Hao Shen didn't panic much, he was still very confident in the defender type, and turned his head to look at the outside of the spaceship: after that shock, the outside of the spaceship suddenly turned blue—that was the filter layer of the spaceship.
"What's going on? Radiation? There are still radioactive sources left on this ship? Hao Shen frowned, there are several kinds of protective layers of the defender type, the previous defense against the shelling of Bengeszagu belongs to a kind of rigid protection, and this filter layer is a soft defense, aimed at radiation of various energy levels, considering the protective power of the defender type itself, this filter layer has almost never been opened. But then again, once the filter is automatically turned on, it only means one thing: at the moment, some kind of radiation with a fairly high energy level is invading the spacecraft in all its senses. This made Hao Shen think of what radioactive sources were left behind after the crash of the huge spaceship below.
“…… Warning, Unknown Distorted Radiation Detected, Threat Level: Lethal. Please take precautions, you are about to avoid it! ”
The ship's main engine sounded one piercing alarm after another, and then the spacecraft suddenly picked up speed and rushed to an altitude of thousands of meters again, before the alarm was lifted.
Lilith, who had completed the maneuver, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then looked down with a serious face, "The four drones that were just released have lost contact, the shields of the spaceship have been reduced by twenty-four percent, and the alarm of the spacecraft before contact has not responded at all...... What the hell is it? ”
Hao Shen also looked at the group of fragments below, with the naked eye, there was nothing wrong with that group of fragments, who would have thought that there would be such a killing machine hidden!
The Defender's scanning probe seemed to be incompatible with the unknown distorted radiation, and in such a situation it was not a good idea to approach it rashly, so Hao Shen connected the communicator to Zagu. As a local, Bengues should know.
"Hey, little brat, what's going on with the radiation down there? Why don't you wake up if there is radiation? I almost capsized just now, do you know, what the hell is going on? ”
After a while, Bengues's suspicious response rang out: "Don't make a fuss, you're afraid of so much radiation?" ”
"Don't be afraid of ghosts, the shield of our spaceship will drop a lot in an instant, okay! You little brat, you can't mean it! ”
"......" Bengues was silent for a moment, and then a somewhat panicked voice came out, "You...... Wait a minute, I'll see......... No, my radiation level is normal. …… It was a type of radiation that had always been present in the oblique fragmentation zone, and the source of radiation was debris from the disintegration of the downed spacecraft and some remnants of energy. Although some of the warning devices are marked as fatal, I have seen the radiation energy level and the reduction to the range that ordinary life can bear. I'm not afraid! ”
“…… Are you an ordinary being? Hao Shen thought for a moment and asked.
"Of course...... Probably...... Maybe...... If it's by your standards, it's probably a bit of a gap......"
Hao Shen: "......"
This daddy's bear child!
"Forget it, leave this alone for now. According to Bengues, the radiation should only cover the area of the ship's debris, so let's move on and avoid the large debris belt first. Lilith, how far is it from the coordinates given by Bengues? ”
Lilith glanced at the navigation and said, "Not far, the end of the oblique strip, soon to be there." ”
Continue along the oblique fragmentation zone, which soon comes to an end in its narrow oblique fragmentation zone. There weren't many small pieces of debris left here, and it was the sturdiest part of the crashed ship that made it all the way to the end. Today, these parts are scattered at the end of the oblique fragmentation zone, smashing out craters with a diameter of 100 meters on the plateau.
The craters are oval in shape, ranging in depth from several meters to tens of meters, but they are all very long and narrow, and the culprits of these craters are still lying at the bottom of the pits: several rounded cuboids about three or four stories high and seven or eight meters long
The structures had a heavy shell, covered in heavy armor—two of which were missing, and according to the style, seemed to have been disassembled by Bengus onto Zagu—which had now been twisted to reveal a complex and sturdy inner structure, with a large line of prominent writing on the outermost layer of the armor.
E-3 core safety cabin.
Each safety cabin has a number, and Hao Shen counted them, there are five in total.
"This is it, this is my home...... Of the five safety cabins, I am the only one alive......"
