Chapter 3: Battleship Secrets
Liu Qi settled down and walked closer to the battleship.
Bite! System Correction: Natural Selection Crash Cause: A violent explosion inside. The modification is complete, is there a second scan of the wreckage?
"Yes," Liu Qi replied. It seems that there is something unknown about the past hidden in this so-called "natural selection".
"Da, da" metal combat boots stepped on the steel floor, and every step made a terrifying loud sound. Most of the "Natural Selection" hull has fallen beneath the planet's surface, and the only thing that is exposed is the tail vent. Since the old working fluid engine was used, then, apparently, the tail nozzle was connected to the inside of the battleship. The tail of the entire battleship was at an angle of nearly 45 degrees to the ground, and it was obvious that it could not be climbed by manpower alone.
At this moment, Liu Qibu was especially glad for his previous decision to go to the cargo warehouse crash site, and the attached armor had hooks similar to those used by the "171-11" rescue team during the period when the Earth broke away from Jupiter, which was the best way to climb onto the battleship.
"Whew!" The rope was shot out of the muzzle at a rapid pace, and after shooting through the shallow armor of the battleship's shell, it was firmly fixed in place. It is worth mentioning here that thanks to the armor design of the old battleship's "sandwich bread", there is a 20cm thick hollow sandwich between the outer armor (less than 2cm cut into aluminum alloy) and the secondary armor, so that Liu Qi's hook can shoot through the external armor like a knife cutting tofu and provide a force point.
Following the terrain all the way up, Liu Qi came to the stern of the ship, which was about 70 meters above the ground, and the engine tail nozzle was about 10 meters below.
"Take a gamble!" Although the power armor can withstand a drop of 70 meters, the huge kinetic energy of the landing will directly cause the crew inside to die on the spot due to the displacement of internal organs. Liu Qi fixed the hook on the stern of the ship, and after pulling it three times to make sure it was firm, he jumped off the stern!
To be honest, with a drop of about 10 meters, there will be no feeling of a leap of faith, so Liu Qi just felt a fall, and then with a "click", the lock closed, and he was suspended in mid-air, and the tail spout was in front of him, one step away from him.
Activating the additional power jets attached to both sides of the armored thighs, Liu Qi successfully swung into the tail spout of the battleship. Following the path of the original large amount of plasma flow inside, Liu Qi walked towards the interior of the battleship step by step.
After walking for about 20 minutes, the narrow road ended, and in its place, it was a special turbofan that was originally used as a propulsion device, to be honest, Liu Qi was still very scared when he saw this turbofan, once this guy suddenly started, he dared to guarantee that he would be strung to the slag.
With a nervous mood, he crossed the fan, walked for another 10 minutes, and finally arrived at the location of the energy transmission pipeline, Liu Qi crawled along the pipeline, crawled all the way, climbed about 40 meters, knocked on the iron sheet, and found that the bottom was empty, so he opened the cutter in his hand, and a cold blue light shot out from the nozzle, "Ah" Liu Qi aimed the nozzle at the iron sheet and cut it up, which was a big test for the mask! A large amount of sparks erupted, and it took a full 10 minutes to cut out a small opening large enough for people to enter. Fortunately, the power armor of the predecessor was not second-hand, otherwise, it would indeed kill Liu Qi.
When you enter from a small mouth, you will suddenly be enlightened, but it is pitch black inside the battleship, and only a little light is still in the small mouth. "Whew~" took a deep breath, turned on the night vision mode of the power armor, and continued to move along the passage.
Nothing to say all the way.
After walking about 200 meters, Liu Qi saw a hatch, "Could it be a reactor behind this?" Liu Qi didn't know, but he had no way but to go, so he turned the power mecha to overclocking mode, and cut his hands diagonally into the gap in the hatch - apparently caused by the crash, and then, the jet at the arm turned on, blowing up a cloud of dust, and the heavy door was opened a large gap. Entering through the gap, there is a huge space in front of you, and the scattered warplanes in the space silently tell the name of this place - Hangar!
Lucky Liu Qi! He found the floor plan of the entire battleship on the wall!
The hangar is located in the center of the "Natural Selection", and the power furnace is not far away!
Liu Qi has hope in his heart, he is no longer a headless fly, he can go to the power room in a planned way. However, Liu Qi did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the hangar for a while and scanned everything.
The Origin System, as the name suggests, can scan, record, and reverse engineer the manufacturing methods of various items, while the Tech Tree can be used to research and develop more esoteric technologies, but all of this requires technology.
"You have obtained the design drawings of the "Flying Eagle" fighter and the design of the "Lauren" engineering robot"
"Plasma Micro Engine Forward and Reverse Engineering Unlocked"
"Forward and reverse engineering of the "Nature I" micro fusion reactor has been unlocked"
This is the income that Liu Qi received in the hangar, which is not a loss, at least he earns back the consumption of oxygen.
On the road again, Liu Qi ran all the way to the power room along the map he had just scanned.
About 20 minutes later, Liu Qi came to the power room, but the entire cabin was almost broken, and there was only a rough frame inside. The moment Liu Qi stepped into the power room, a beam of light lit up!
"Wow!" Liu Qi was indeed taken aback, "You, what kind of bull ghost and snake god are you?" ”
"During scanning, no identifying information was found" The beam in front of him converged into a human figure, "Intruder, please identify yourself." ”
"I'm a researcher at the Federation," Liu Qi replied.
"Identity confirmed, error, no object found matching the description, attempt to access the federated database, error, unable to connect, first plan executed." After the mechanical voice was spoken for a while, it disappeared and was replaced by the image of a middle-aged man.
"This is the Third Fleet of the Federation," the man said firmly, seemingly a general.
"Third Fleet?" Liu Qi's heart turned up stormy waves!
The Third Fleet of the Federation lost contact in the 2333 star sector in the New Era 2523, and when the rescue force arrived, only a pile of wreckage was found, and this "Natural Selection" was actually one of the main warships of the Third Fleet!
"Federal Second Lieutenant, would you like to carry out mission number D233?" the man asked.
"Willing" Although he called himself a "federal second lieutenant" for some reason, Liu Qi is indeed this rank.
"Very good, please note that what follows is confidential and is absolutely not allowed to be mentioned to anyone"
"Understood," Liu Qi said.
"Okay, now, please note that the goal of the D233 mission: to find and report the zero vein on planet A233 to the Imperial military, and you will be paid a large sum." After the man finished speaking, the video ended.
"Empire?" Remember that the first time the Empire and the Federation intersected was in 2665, and a few years later there was a large-scale battle, but the name of the Empire appeared on the shipboard that crashed in 2523? Is this a coincidence or a slip of the tongue by the captain of the Federation? Or was the "Natural Selection" a battleship infiltrated by Imperial spies? This made Liu Qi very puzzling.
"Wait!" Liu Qi recalled the previously corrected analysis report: the cause of the crash was an internal explosion, not an external missile! And the tragic situation in the power room was obviously caused by the explosion! So, whether it was the battleship that engaged in a broadside battle, or the spy blasted the power furnace, what happened on the battleship "Natural Selection", Liu Qi can only find a way to get the battleship's logbook (similar to the black box of an airplane) to know.
Similarly, the word "zero element" also surprised Liu Qi, the A233 planet can be said to be barren, but it was named A by the Federation, according to the naming rules, this is a name that only a first-class resource star has, but the appearance of "zero element" makes sense.
According to the data, it does not belong to any element, but it can decay into elementary particles of various elements under the induction of different conditions, for example, when the zero element is irradiated by a single "γ" ray in a vacuum, it will form "uranium", and at the same time, "zero element" is also the only substance that can be used as curvature engine fuel, which gives it a very high value, once a gram of zero element was even sold for a high price of 20 billion credits, which is equivalent to 27 "Natural Selection".
