Chapter 282: Under Surveillance
As soon as I arrived at the back of the fan, I saw the bracket of the bottom bracket cut head-on. I let go of my hand and dodged the bad luck of being cut in two, and then I grabbed the edge of the stand with a backhand.
Grabbing the bracket with one arm, I was dragged and glided on the ground. I was afraid that the spacesuit would be damaged due to friction, so I quickly exerted force with one arm, propped up my body forward, and then alternately lay on the bracket with both hands up, stepped on the bracket with one foot, and slowly stood up.
In the repeated actions just now, if there is a slight mistake in any place, I will be reimbursed directly, and I am afraid to think about it. But at this time, I didn't care about this, and I saw that the fan blade was much slower than just now, so I stepped on it steadily, and used my other foot as a brake to kick the rotating fan blade.
And the situation in front is not optimistic, Feng Jiutian has run out of strength, his center of gravity is unstable, and he falls forward. She was already very close to the fan, and when she fell, she was immediately caught up by the fan. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Feng Jiutian reacted in time, turned over like me, and stepped on the extension protection frame of the fan with both feet.
It's just that she was a little panicked, and she couldn't stand up like me and pad her backpack behind her, but her buttocks were rubbed all the time, which scared her into discoloration and screamed in shock.
I could see clearly behind the fan and shouted, "What's the ghost called?" Hurry up and put force on your waist and take the backpack pad. ”
As soon as I reminded him, Feng Jiutian immediately shut his mouth, straightened his waist, and used his backpack to save his hips. As soon as she got out of danger, she immediately fought back at me: "Who do you say? Sister, that's an excited call! ”
I'm in the mood to argue with her at the moment, the force of the fan rotation has hit the soles of my feet, although it is effective for deceleration, but it is not obvious.
I was looking for something to replace my foot as a brake, and when I looked up, I couldn't help but curse myself for being stupid, the bottom bracket was right in front of me, and its main power part was on my side, and I was busy for a long time without seeing it.
At that moment, I pulled the railgun behind me and fired continuously at the already faulty bottom bracket.
The central axis, which had already failed, jumped out of the spark again and again under my close blow, and finally stopped working with a "crackling" sound. After a few more turns with inertia, the fan blades slowly stopped.
I immediately turned the muzzle of the gun to the visible slide, took careful aim, and broke several in succession. Counting that one-third of the slide rails have failed, and no matter how hard you try, you can completely stop this fan.
At this time, Anbei Mo and several people saw that the fan blades were no longer rotating, and immediately stopped running, and jumped up against the fan, and they could see the pulleys when they shot with guns, and soon destroyed most of the pulleys.
The fan was like a bus about to pull over, slowly and leisurely for a distance, and the remaining pulleys could no longer drive the big fan, and finally slowly stopped.
It was only then that I felt weak and my hands and feet were weak. As soon as I relaxed, my body was thrown directly to the ground uncontrollably, and the high tension and physical fatigue just now made me gasp for breath, and even the mask of the spacesuit was covered with a layer of white mist by the moisture I exhaled.
The others were also too tired to do anything, and they all sat down on the spot, panting one by one.
After about a minute, Seven Stars struggled to get up, walked up to me and asked me how I was doing, if there was any injury.
I saw that the lights on the spacesuit were still green and should not be broken, so I sat up and told Seven Stars that I was fine.
Instructor Li also got up to check on everyone, glad that everyone was fine, but his physical strength was a little overdrawn. However, this situation is also very dangerous in space, and Qixing and Instructor Li helped everyone adjust their breathing and restore a steady heartbeat. It took half an hour for the group to get up from the ground.
Chased by this big fan, we ran back a long distance, and I hurriedly asked Instructor Qian where we were in the passage now.
Knowing that we were all right, Instructor Qian breathed a sigh of relief and told me that we had retreated a third of the way we had traveled.
I cursed in a low voice, thinking to myself that the road was far away, and I didn't know if I would encounter any more trouble. Just as I was thinking, I saw the big fan stopped in front of me, and suddenly I had an idea, and I circled around the big fan that had failed.
Everyone didn't know what I was doing, so I said to Instructor Qian: "The moving pulley of this fan is completely intelligently controlled, do you have a way to operate it remotely and turn it into something that can be controlled by us?" ”
Before Instructor Qian could answer, Feng Jiutian on the side suddenly said to me, "Let me try!" ”
I looked back in surprise, and Feng Jiutian said: "Instructor Qian, they can't even find the signal of this mysterious object, and they can't do remote intrusion at all, so let me try!" ”
At this time, Instructor Qian in the headset was a little embarrassed and said, "Uh...... That is true. ”
What surprised me was not that Instructor Qian couldn't control it remotely, but that Feng Jiutian actually said that she wanted to work as a hacker.
"You're going to do this?" Curiously asked Feng Jiutian.
"What? Didn't expect that, right? Feng Jiutian raised his chin arrogantly and smiled at me proudly, "I still have a lot of skills, let you see it slowly in the future." With that, she took off her backpack and pulled out a pocket-sized laptop.
I asked Shen Hao to look on the fan and remove the pulley idea that wasn't broken by us. Shen Hao is good at doing this, and even the disassembly tools he carries with him.
Feng Jiutian understood what I wanted to do at this time, and she said, "This method is not bad! ”
Shen Hao let him dismantle it, and he didn't ask me why, he checked around the fan, and then shouted to Instructor Zhao: "Hey instructor!" Come over and help. ”
Being supported by Shen Hao so unceremoniously, Instructor Zhao looked reluctant, but he was curious about what Shen Hao asked him to help, so he still walked over. Instructor Li next to him also came up at this time, listened to Shen Hao's arrangement with Instructor Zhao, and began to disassemble it.
Shen Hao was really polite to arouse Instructor Zhao, basically let him do all the things that were carried and resisted, and later I also went over to help, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to remove a dozen pulleys from the fan. Some of them are intact, and some are not seriously damaged, and Shen Hao said that he can try to repair them.
These pulleys are rectangular boxes on the outside, with two pulleys underneath, which are extremely heavy.
Feng Jiutian took one of them apart, looked at the structure inside, and said to me in surprise: "You must not guess where the control instructions received by these pulleys are transmitted!" ”
I shook my head blankly, Feng Jiutian patted the ground and said, "It's through these pipes!" ”
An Beimo had been watching from the side, and then said: "Could it be that this pipeline as a whole is a signal conductor?" ”
Feng Jiutian replied: "It should be like this." I was just thinking about how to control the speed of all the pulleys to be consistent with the speed of such a large fan that can move back and forth quickly in such a long channel. Now that I see what's going on inside these pulleys, I understand. ”
Afraid that we still don't understand, Feng Jiutian knocked on the ground a few times and said: "This pipe is much more complicated than we seem, I believe that under the surface, there should be wiring and integrators, and the fan's action orders are conveyed by them." But it shouldn't be just to control a fan, right? I think there must be some role in this passage that we don't know about. ”
After listening to Feng Jiutian's statement, I had some bad feelings. I said to everyone: "Instructor Qian has not been able to detect the signal source of this strange flying object by various methods, but we have found that it has hidden integrated lines here, which shows that its self-defense is very high, and even such an advanced scanning device as Compass One cannot find its existence." ”
They didn't understand what I meant, so I continued: "As soon as we entered the pipe, we noticed the presence of a slight magnetic field, and you should have all sensed it, and there was always a disturbing signal in our walkie-talkie that was not easy to detect. This probably means that from the moment we arrived here, we were completely under the watchful eye of the other party! ”
Instructor Zhao exclaimed: "This is unlikely, our communication equipment is an independent frequency band, using a highly confidential signal source, this technology is at the leading level in the world, and others can't hack into our signal source at all." ”
I said, "Don't be too superstitious about our technology, the level of science and technology in all countries of the world is a mystery now, and we can't rule out the possibility that the other party's level of science and technology is higher than ours." ”
After a pause, I added, "I've always wondered if we were cut off from Earth, but we were still able to talk to each other freely. Now that I think about it, it is likely that the other side deliberately kept our communication signals in order to grasp the progress of our actions. ”
Instructor Li hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" We're listening to each other's calls all the time? ”
I sneered and replied, "I'm afraid so." And I think the other party can also lock the location of each of us according to our communication signals. If that's the case, then we're completely transparent in the eyes of the other party! ”
Instructor Zhao looked nervous again, and said, "If this is the case, wouldn't every move we take is under the control of the other party?" It would be too dangerous to move forward like this, and I suggest that the Compass One be withdrawn at once now, and that communication with Earth be restored and the situation reported. ”
"And then?" An Beimo asked him coldly.
Instructor Zhao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Then?" Then wait for the order of the superior to make the next arrangement. ”
I reluctantly asked him, "What if the connection with the earth cannot be restored?" ”
"Then ......" Instructor Zhao blurted out: "Then withdraw to Earth and give up the action!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed slightly, and Feng Jiutian said angrily and directly: "How can you say such a thing? Do you want to leave those missing astronauts behind and run away like this? ”
