Chapter 320: The Inevitable Trajectory of the World
The Prometheus spacecraft, the Heliades-class flagship ship of the Weeland Corporation, officially began its long journey from Earth on December 25, 2090, to the distant planet LV-223.
The spacecraft had a crew of ten and carried five scientists, including Meredith Vickers, CEO of Weland, and the newest android, David 8, for a total of 16 people to the planet LV-223.
In order to survive the long journey, all of them, except for Davy the Android, went to sleep in a hibernation chamber shortly after the ship left Earth until they reached their destination.
Normally, that's how it should be.
However, the reality is a little different, for example, in another little-known compartment of the ship, Peter Weland, the founder of Weeland, who has been pronounced dead, is also sleeping in a dormant chamber.
And in the published spacecraft crew list, there is one more person named Ye Qianhu.
"Click"
In the spacecraft compartment where the dormant chamber was placed, one of the dormant chambers made a soft noise, and then the pale yellow translucent hatch slid downward, revealing the man inside who was supposed to continue to sleep.
Ye Qianhu sat up from the dormant chamber, calmly scanned his surroundings, and quickly determined where he was now.
After letting Lilith open the world of Prometheus, it was a little different from what he expected. He had expected to appear directly in the ship, which was true, but in a different way than he had expected.
After coming into this world, he passively went into hibernation.
You don't have to think about it to be sure, this must be Lilith's masterpiece again.
He didn't know exactly how long he had been dormant in this dormant chamber, as he lost consciousness the moment he entered the world. It wasn't until he had his first dream that he realized his condition and woke up on his own initiative.
Then, there's the scene in front of you.
He was wearing only a pair of white bottoms, and his body was as wet as if he had just been fished out of the water, which was the liquid in the dormant chamber, maybe to keep the human body moist, or something else, who knows.
Ye Qianhu sat up from the dormant chamber that had been completely opened, and asked in his mind, "Lilith, how long have I been asleep?" ”
Lilith's voice immediately rang in his head.
"23 minutes and 16 seconds, but for the people of this world, you have been asleep for 2 years, 4 months, 19 days, 11 hours and 52 minutes."
"What a surprise, I hope I'm not sleeping here as a stowaway." Ye Qianhu said.
This kind of scene reminds him of the first time he entered the movie world, and suddenly found himself a robber with a pistol in his hand, and then he was involved in a shootout between the robber and the Raccoon City police.
Although he was lucky not to be shot by the police, and even luckily was not identified as one of the robbers, he was naturally handcuffed and escorted into the police car because his identity was unknown.
When Ye Qianhu recalled that experience, the door of the cabin suddenly opened, and then a man in a gray uniform entered the room, and when he saw Ye Qianhu sitting there, the man immediately said, "Mr. Ye Qianhu, I'm David." I noticed that you woke up early, is there something wrong with your dormant chamber? ”
"Maybe it's because I don't want to sleep anymore." Ye Qianhu said lightly, looking at David, an android who seemed almost indistinguishable from a real human on the surface, and asked, "Have we reached our destination?" ”
"Coming soon." David looked at Ye Qianhu quietly and said, "Do you need to check your body?" Waking up early in hibernation rarely happens. ”
"I'm fine." Ye Qianhu shook his head and said with a normal face: "David, I seem to have slept for too long, and I can't remember where my room is." ”
"It's easy to have some similar conditions after sleeping for too long, please come with me, take a break and recover quickly." David nodded, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Qianhu's words, and when he saw Ye Qianhu leave the dormant warehouse, he walked towards the outside of the room first.
Taking Ye Qianhu to the front of a room, David stopped and said to Ye Qianhu: "If you find any physical problems, please notify me in time." ”
After that, he smiled at Ye Qianhu and left here.
The David 8 android, which is a very successful work of the Weyland company, is really difficult to judge the difference between David and humans from words and actions without being prompted.
Because of the program set by itself, this David, it is easy to make people feel trusted. It's a pity that this friendly appearance is just a disguise for a real demon.
Aside from his creator, Peter Weyland, he probably doesn't have much to do with friendship with humanity at all, and what he will do in the future is impressive.
Tricking Holloway's trust into drinking substances related to the xenomorph not only led to his death, but also caused Elizabeth Shaw to become pregnant with a monster.
After most of the people on board the Prometheus died, Elizabeth Shaw traveled to the Engineer's home planet to receive the Engineer's biological weapons against humanity, completely destroying their entire planet, including all the natives on it.
At that time, David had already gained a perfect personality, but what he wanted to be was God.
Xenomorph is his favorite toy, and in his eyes, humans are probably no different from the containers used to cultivate Xenomorphs.
It's like Elizabeth Shaw, whom he said he liked, was also brutally killed by him.
Years later, the Covenant spaceship landed on that planet, and the people on board also fell victim to David's crazy ideas.
His gaze was withdrawn from David's back, although he was not prepared to let David continue to survive from the beginning, but Ye Qianhu did not mean to kill the other party immediately, he was not in a hurry, disrupting the rhythm too early would reduce a lot of fun.
Opening the closed door, Ye Qianhu entered this room that theoretically belonged to him.
Although everything here was unfamiliar to Ye Qianhu, he at least knew what the opening on the control panel of this door meant.
When Ye Qianhu entered the room, the metal door closed automatically, and Ye Qianhu looked at this room of his own, the space in the room was very compact, the bed, wardrobe and some other simple furnishings.
"Looks like I still have an official identity here, although I don't know what." Glancing at the items in the room, Ye Qianhu said to himself.
"You can find out for yourself, and I think it's more fun." Lilith said in Ye Qianhu's consciousness.
"Maybe", Ye Qianhu didn't ask Lilith about his identity on this spaceship again, and asked another question, "You don't seem to have told me yet, what is my mission this time?" ”
"There are no tasks." Lilith said an answer that Ye Qianhu never thought of.
"Is this an isolated case?" Ye Qianhu was stunned for a moment, frowned, and asked.
"That's right, it's just a one-time case, and you can take it as compensation for my mistakes in the last world. However, correspondingly, there will be no energy points in this world. ”
Lilith said, "You can stay in this world for five days, and after that, you will start deducting energy points. ”
"And, most importantly, your presence will never be able to change history in the general direction. The Alien 4 you experienced in the past is the world you live in now, but that is in the future. Because in the future of this world, there will inevitably be your participation, so you are definitely not able to change history to a greater extent now. The details can be adjusted, but the general direction must not be changed. ”
"It's just a change in detail, and the will of the world itself will automatically correct it to its original trajectory."
"But once your appearance leads to a radical change in the future, especially the part related to you, then the consequences of it will inevitably be imposed on you."
Listening to Lilith's serious warning, Ye Qianhu thought for a moment and asked, "So, what's the bottom line?" ”
Lilith said: "The Prometheus project must fail, Peter Weiland and Meredith Vickers, the president of Weiland Company, cannot survive, only in this way will the Weiland Company suffer a heavy blow and merge with Yutani Company, leading to the story of the follow-up "Alien" series." ”
"Only in this way will the part you participate in in the future continue normally."
"Finally, the Engineer's home planet, destruction is his inevitable end."
