"How is it possible, the warp engine has lost power!"

"What?!" Hearing this call, Zhou Xin also showed a look of disbelief, and soon he reacted, he hurriedly asked, "Voyager, is there a problem with the spacecraft's energy system?" In particular, the energy pipes that flow to the warp engine. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"No problem." The Voyager replied directly, "This ship has already inspected these important systems, and no problems have been found. ”

"Check again." Zhou Xin demanded.

This time, it took more than a minute for the Voyager to reply: "This ship has checked the energy system on the spacecraft again, and there is indeed no problem at all." ”

"What about the ones that lead to the warp engine? Are there any signs of interruption in energy? Zhou Xin asked.

"Everything is normal," replied the Voyager, "and the energy is flowing smoothly to the warp engine, which is still running at full power, judging by the energy consumption. ”

Seeing that the Voyager reported a diametrically opposite result to the Thunder Star people, Zhou Xin was even more puzzled, and he turned his face to the direction of the Thunder Star people in the command module, wanting to know what was going on.

After those thunder stars came to a conclusion before, they did not stop what they were doing, but continued to operate in front of the command platform, and even Zhou Xin didn't know when he looked at them. As they continued to do the checks, they were still discussing.

"The engine lost power? No, I'm showing that the energy is still flowing into the engine normally, and there is no sign of stopping. A man said.

"I'm here too." Another person also said, "The detector we installed on the warp engine also showed that the warp engine was working, which detector reported that the engine was losing power?" ”

"It's a probe on the outside of the ship, you look at this picture." The man who had just exclaimed explained, "You see, the distortion in the space near the warp engine installed in the rear has disappeared, doesn't that mean that the warp engine has lost power?" ”

"But the energy is still flowing in normally, where is the energy consumed?"

"Contact the people on duty in the engine room and let them actually see what happened to the warp engine."

After saying this, a man turned on the communication device, and then he shouted directly into the communication device: "We have observed from the outside that the warp engine is down, you guys quickly send someone to see what happened to the engine?" ”

"Understood." Only these two words came from the opposite side of the communicator, and then Zhou Xin heard hurried footsteps coming from inside.

While the men in the engine room went to inspect the engine, the discussion in the command compartment continued.

"What's going on? Obviously the energy is still flowing in normally, and the engine is also running normally, how can it suddenly fall out of the warp space? What is the observation of the outer detector? ”

"I don't know." One person replied, "I just restarted the warp engine once, and everything worked fine during the restart, and the engine itself passed the self-check, and there was no abnormality." I even tried to go into warp again after a successful start, and the engine report was: 'The machine is unfolding the warp space, the warp space is unfolding, everything is fine.' Until now, the warp engine has reported the following status: 'In warp speed, do not turn off the unit to avoid spatial anomalies during normal operation.' ’”

"But we're clearly not in warp space right now." A man looked at the image of the external detector and said with a confused expression.

"It seems that something has happened to the warp engine that we can't understand." Another said, "Let's call the others over and have a look." ”

At this time, the people in the engine room sent back the inspection results, "We sent someone to check, the warp engine is still running normally, where is it stopped, is there a problem with the external detector." ”

"But we are clearly in normal cosmic space." A man said into the communicator.

"What? Normal Universe? Aren't we still in warp space? A confused tone came from across the communicator, and after a while, the communicator exclaimed, "How did you go back to normal space?!" Isn't the warp engine still functioning?! At this time, a busy voice came from inside, "Wait a moment in the command cabin, and we will send someone to investigate the situation of the engine." With that, the other side temporarily turned off the communication.

At this time, nearly half an hour had passed since the Voyager informed Zhou Xin, but several people in the command cabin still hadn't figured out what was going on with the warp engine. After thinking about it, Zhou Xin decided to call the others over to solve this problem together.

After receiving Zhou Xin's notice, many Lei Xingren researchers felt inexplicable, because the situation was complicated, so Zhou Xin did not introduce the current situation to them in detail, but just asked them to gather in the command cabin.

A few minutes later, Renard first arrived at the command module with a sleepy face, followed by other warp engine-related researchers, all of whom looked confused and not awake. Spred was the last to arrive, and as he entered, he yawned and asked, "What's going on, why are you getting everyone together so late?" ”

At this time, Zhou Xin opened his mouth to tell about the current situation, and the first few people had already understood the current situation, and they had begun to join in the busy inspection work, and the later people, including Spred, were still standing there listening to Zhou Xin introduce the situation.

In just a few words, Zhou Xin had already finished introducing the current situation, and before Zhou Xin finished speaking, those people who didn't know the situation showed a look of surprise, and after the look of surprise, there was a look of disbelief, and even Spred didn't believe Zhou Xin's words. Just before Zhou Xin finished speaking, he rushed towards the command platform in front of him, and after Zhou Xin finished speaking, he had roughly figured out the current situation from the operating platform, but it seemed that he didn't know what was going on with the warp engine, because he also showed a puzzled look, and then he didn't say anything, but lowered his head and pondered.

After a long time, Spred was still pondering, and the people who were called together had checked the warp engine in detail again, but Zhou Xin looked at them and obviously didn't find the problem.

After waiting for a while, Zhou Xin finally couldn't help it, and he asked, "Sprede, do you know what happened to the warp engine?" Why is everything still working properly with the inspection of the engine? ”

Spred waved his hand at Zhou Xin, and then continued to fall into deep thought, and after a while, just when Zhou Xin was impatient and about to speak again, he finally began to move, but he did not answer Zhou Xin's question, but walked directly to the operating table and looked.

Zhou Xin walked up to him and found him doing something that everyone else had done before - Spred was rechecking the warp engine.

"It's useless." Zhou Xin shook his head, "They have checked it a few times, and the results displayed on the panel are all normal. ”

However, Spred did not stop his movements, but continued to do various examinations on his own, and at this moment, the sound of Atlas was heard.

"Brother Captain! Brother Captain! We're back in normal space! Has it arrived?! Then she exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?! No, how are we still so far away from the target, Brother Captain, what are we going to do now out of warp space? ”

Hearing Atlas's voice, Zhou Xin smiled bitterly and said, "What to do?" I also don't know what to do, what I want to know now is why we suddenly left warp space. He then repeated what he had said to Spred to Atlas.

At the moment when Zhou Xin finished speaking, Atlas spoke: "Really, the operation of the warp engine is normal, but we have left the warp state, what is going on?" ”

"Don't you even know why?" Zhou Xin was slightly disappointed.

"People have just started to study the warp engine, and the information reported by the probe is normal, how can people find the reason in the normal information."

However, Spred seemed to have found the reason after rechecking it, as he had now stopped moving, staring at the console in deep thought. Zhou Xin focused his attention on him, and he also looked towards the screen of the console, and found that the picture on the screen was fixed on the outer screen of the spaceship, and the spaceship on the screen was still in the normal warp space.

After pondering for a while, Spred began to play the image in front of him frame by frame, and after a dozen frames, he pointed to the screen and said, "Here's the problem." ”

Zhou Xin looked towards the picture, and then he found that the spaceship on the screen was still stuck in normal space, and he looked at Spred with a puzzled expression. Seeing that Zhou Xin didn't see anything abnormal, Spred reached out and clicked on the screen, and Zhou Xin found that the place he was pointing to happened to be the location where the warp engine was installed on the spaceship. Carefully staring at the warp engine on the screen, Zhou Xin felt that there seemed to be something unusual, but he couldn't say what it was.

Spred put the picture on the screen back another frame, Zhou Xin finally saw something wrong, the originally smooth warp space near the warp engine began to distort, as Spred continued to play, this distortion became more and more obvious, and finally became the appearance of normal space, and then the normal space around the warp engine began to expand, and finally covered the entire warp space around the spaceship, the whole process is like the process of the spaceship leaving the warp state experienced by Zhou Xin before, However, this time, the process of leaving the warp space took place without everyone noticing.

Eventually, Spred rewinds the footage and points to the warp space near the warp engine and explains, "At first, I thought that maybe there was an external cause that caused the ship to leave warp space without our knowledge. But now it seems that the reason may be the engine itself, or—"

He thought for a moment, then opened his mouth to ask the people around him, "Did one of you give the wrong command that caused the ship to leave warp space?" ”

The people who were in the command module at the beginning shook their heads blankly, and one of them replied in place of everyone: "This is impossible, all of us are just monitoring the operation of the ship and the warp engine, no one has operated the engine, if someone does, the Voyager will warn, it is impossible that none of us know." After he finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

At this point, the Voyager spoke to confirm their claim, "The aircraft did not detect any orders emanating from the command module during that time. ”

Seeing that this situation was also denied by the Voyager, Spred had no choice but to change the direction of his speculation, "It seems that the external causes of the engine have been ruled out, is it really a problem with the warp engine itself?" ”

"But isn't it normal for the engine to send back all the information back?" Zhou Xin asked.

"I can only say that there is no problem where the detector is installed." Spred replied casually, and then he said to himself, "Is there really a problem in that place?" It can't be, how could that place go wrong first. ”

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Maybe I'm wrong." Spred didn't answer Zhou Xin's question, but ordered to himself, "You guys stop the engine first, I'll go near the engine to see the situation first." ”

After Spred finished speaking, he left the command cabin directly and walked to the engine room, where the other Thunderers had already begun to perform the shutdown operation of the warp engine.

Shortly after the warp engine shut down completely, a video of Spred appeared on the communicator, and he had arrived in the engine room, and was now learning about the warp engine from the people in the engine room. However, he didn't seem to get any more information from the people in the engine room, and after a few simple questions, he decided to go to the field to see the situation himself.

After preparing and bringing the necessary tools, Spred went to the installation location of the warp engine. He first walked to one of the sides of the cylindrical engine, where an operator panel was placed.

Spred said as he operated the panel, "This panel is the master control panel of the warp engine, and all the data we see in the command cabin is sent from here. Judging from the situation in the command module, this panel should not show any anomalies. ”

As Spred said, the panel didn't show any anomalous data, and he glanced at the panel a few times before heading in the other direction......
