Chapter 329: The Central Computer Reboots
When Ye Qianhu came to the spaceship bridge, the search team had already entered the building.
There were eight people in the search team, but only six people actually entered the building.
Five scientists, in addition to Harloway and Elizabeth Shaw, who are in charge of archaeology, a geologist and biologist, a doctor, and finally a droid Davey.
They were joined by two crew members, but they did not enter the building, but stayed outside to pick them up.
Because of our insistence, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw, the search team did not carry any weapons, only the appropriate professional equipment.
Those who remain in the spacecraft can monitor what they see through the cameras carried by the search team's protective suits. Moreover, after entering the interior of the building, the search team released six small terrain scanning devices, and through scanning the interior, a 3D image of the interior of the building was drawn very clearly on the table in the middle of the bridge.
Just from this 3D image, it really looks like a cave with a complex structure.
Ye Qianhu is really not used to the aesthetics of those so-called engineers, obviously his own military base and spaceship, but it is built to at least look no different from a cave, dark, damp, full of stones, stones, and stones.
It can only be said that it is a cultural difference, maybe people just miss the cave life of their ancestors.
When Ye Qianhu entered the bridge, he happened to hear Elizabeth Shaw's voice there, "Charlie, don't act like a fool. ”
"Don't be suspicious, there's something going on here, David?" Hollowaway's nonchalant voice followed.
David then responded, "Dr. Holloway is right, in fact, the gas here is very clean and harmless. ”
The doctor agreed: "Obviously they have done environmental modifications here. ”
Through the cameras on their bodies, it could be seen from the monitors on the bridge that Hollowey was about to take off the helmet of his protective suit.
On the bridge inside the ship, the captain lay anxiously in front of the console and said to the people inside, "Dr. Hollowaway, don't do this, do you get it, don't take your helmet." ”
However, despite the captain's repeated warnings and Elizabeth Shaw's attempts to dissuade Hollowey, her boyfriend soon took off his helmet, took a deep breath of the air, and immediately shouted excitedly.
Haloway himself proved that the air inside the building was breathable, and others followed his example and took off their helmets.
Inside the bridge, the captain said to the others with a helpless face: "I really suspect that they are a bunch of reckless children, not serious scientists, and they are risking their lives." ”
"They're professionals, and they're all safe now, aren't they?" A crew member beside the captain said indifferently.
Witnessing a farce, Ye Qianhu found a corner to sit down, as he did most often, and did not mean to greet these people, and watched their search work without any sense of existence.
At least for this time, he wasn't ready to do anything about it.
The military base built by the engineer outside, he must have entered, but not now, but after the Red Queen has completely mastered the central computer of this spaceship.
The probe in the spaceship can detect objects moving outside, and he doesn't want to be discovered by the people inside the spaceship as soon as he goes out.
Since he had decided to watch the failure of Prometheus' plan with a cold eye, he tried not to let his actions interfere with the normal progress of the plot.
Otherwise, he may still need to "repair" the plot by himself, and this repair process is estimated to be not very peaceful. Although he didn't mind killing people, Ye Qianhu didn't want to make himself a person who could wantonly kill without care.
That's not called coldness, that's just psychopathology.
After all, these are living people, not NPCs in the game.
Although there is one more person named Ye Qianhu in the Prometheus plan this time, because of his restraint, the plot is still going according to the normal trend.
After removing all the helmets, the men continued to search the interior of the building, but found nothing of value. Until, after David activated a switch on the inside, an image from 2,000 years ago was revealed in a manner similar to a holographic projection.
It was a number of engineers, and in the footage, they seemed to be being chased by something, running along the tunnel in a panic.
Following this clue, the search team chased the images and soon found a humanoid corpse in front of a closed door, which from the outside, the owner of the corpse had many similarities with humans, except that the corpse was much taller than the normal size of humans.
From that footage, it can be seen that the engineer did not enter the door in time, but was cut off by the head of the fallen doorkeeper, and what was left outside the door was only a corpse without a head.
Here, for the first time, the search team diverged.
Not everyone was pleasantly surprised by the discovery of the Engineer's body, like the geologist in the team, who was terrified by the discovery of the corpse. After an argument with the others, he broke away from the group with another biologist and returned to the ship.
The departure of two people in the team did not end the search.
David quickly opened the door, and behind it was a large room, and they found the severed head in the doorway, as well as the jars scattered throughout the room to store the biological weapons developed by the Engineers, the black liquid.
But they weren't able to stay there for long, because at this time, a huge storm swept in, mixed with a large amount of silicide. These silicides can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometers per second, and once exposed to the storm, their protective suits simply won't last long.
When Elizabeth said they needed more time, Meredith once again showed her calm-to-cold style, telling the men bluntly that she would close the outer doors of the ship in 15 minutes. No one would doubt that if they weren't able to return to the ship in time, Meredith would definitely do what they said.
Despite some twists and turns, the search team was able to return to the Prometheus spacecraft at the allotted time, and managed to bring back the harvest of their trip, the Engineer's head, and one of the containers for storing biological weapons that David had brought back.
Of course, not everyone was lucky enough to return to the ship within the allotted time, and the geologists and biologists who left halfway through were very unlucky enough to get lost in the building. By the time Elizabeth and the others returned to the ship, the two of them were still circling around the intricate tunnels of the building.
And now that the silicide-laden storm out there doesn't know when it will end, they will have to stay there until then.
Inside the bridge of the spaceship, Meredith had already returned to his room, and now most of the people also went to greet the returning search team, and only the captain, the two pilots on duty, and Ye Qianhu were waiting for a certain moment to arrive in the entire room.
Realizing that there were still two people who hadn't returned to the ship, the captain quickly contacted the two unlucky guys.
"It's the captain talking, listen, there's a bunch of static electricity out there right now, it's not safe to come to you now."
"The temperature drops quickly, you guys put on your helmets and keep the temperature until this storm is over."
With that, the captain squeezed his eyes at the people around him, with a gloating expression.
Hearing the captain's introduction, the geologist's angry voice came, "Can you bring me a message for the scientist and his girlfriend?" ”
"Are they around?"
The captain forced a smile and said, "No, you can say it." ”
"Say to them, let them die!"
The geologist's indignant words finally made the men laugh, and the captain smiled and said, "Got it, okay, it's okay, we'll pick you up in the morning." ”
After that, the captain left the console, and then saw Ye Qianhu sitting alone in the corner, he was a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "You are still staying here?" ”
Ye Qianhu straddled a chair, his chin propped up on the back of the chair, and said, "Maybe it's because it's more interesting here." ”
"Okay", the captain said indifferently, "you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the entire bridge suddenly darkened, all the lights went out without warning, and even the instruments in the console stopped working at the same time.
"What's going on?!"
In the darkness, the captain's angry voice rang out.
Immediately, I heard another voice not far away say in a panic: "Sorry, I don't know!" Damn, who can give me some light! ”
As the man spoke, there was a scrambling sound from the dark bridge, as if something had been pushed.
The darkness and chaos lasted only a few seconds, though, and the console was the first to return to normal, followed by the ship's lighting and other instruments.
"Damn, tell me, what the hell just happened!?" The captain hurried over to the console.
The crew member who remained at the console hurriedly checked the equipment and explained, "The central computer has just been rebooted, perhaps due to the interference caused by the storm outside......"
"Then tell me, it won't continue to be a problem like this!"
Then, there were a lot of inquiries from the console, even Meredith's voice, and it was clear that the entire ship was affected by this reboot of the central computer.
The response to the response, the inspection of the inspection, there was a busy scene in the bridge, these people didn't notice it, but Ye Qianhu behind them had already left the bridge with a smile.
The calculation restart, which means that the red queen has succeeded, so next, it is time for him to take a look at his property.
