Chapter 55: Entering the Passage
Just when Zhou Xin thought that his escape was a foregone conclusion, the accident happened again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, Zhou Xin, who was barely maintaining consciousness, heard Atlas's exclamation again, "Oh no, the entrance to the spatial passage is rapidly getting smaller!" ”
Barely opening his eyes, which had become blood-red due to congestion, in a red world, Zhou Xin saw the two numbers on the screen for the first time, forty, and six hundred and fifty. Subsequently, the top twenty quickly jumped to thirty-nine, but the six hundred and fifty quickly dropped to six hundred and thirty-five under Zhou Xin's gaze.
At this time, Zhou Xin's thinking had obviously slowed down a lot, and he didn't react to the meaning of these two changes at the first glance. It took him nearly five seconds to realize that, as things stood now, the Voyager wouldn't have had time to enter the space before the entrance closed.
After realizing this, Zhou Xin's first reaction was to think of a solution. But although he thought of this at the first time, due to the urgency of time and the extremely serious disturbance in his thinking, he couldn't think of any way at all for a while. However, Atlas has been quickly analyzing the current situation in Zhou Xin's ear after exclaiming:
"Brother Captain, the engines are already trying their best to push the engines, but the damaged engines are now unable to provide more thrust. If we don't think of a way to come out, unless a miracle happens, such as the abnormal expansion or closure of the channel, we will definitely not be able to catch up. Brother Captain! Brother Captain! Is there anything else that Voyager's engine can do to make an emergency? ”
At this time, there was only one thought in the confused Zhou Xinxin, and that was to come up with a solution. But there was only this thought left in his mind, and as for the specific method, he couldn't think of it at all. The gravitational acceleration was so high that he almost lost his senses, and he couldn't even hear Atlas's analysis and urging. Looking at the two blood-red numbers on the screen in a daze, and the little girl who was scratching her ears and cheeks because she was too anxious, Zhou Xin vaguely realized that she seemed to be talking to herself. At this point, the number on the screen has jumped to thirty.
"Warning, there is a serious problem with the core of the main engine, please reduce the output power of the main engine as soon as possible." Even at such a critical juncture, the Voyager continued to report in its unfazed tone.
"When is it, I still care about what is wrong with the engine." Atlas, who was in a hurry, couldn't help but blame.
"Introduction---" Atlas said just now, and Zhou Xin only heard these two words in total. So, for the next period of time, the only word he heard kept tumbling in his head.
Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. At the same time, the number on the screen has jumped to twenty-five. Ignoring and not having the ability to test whether this idea was feasible, Zhou Xin subconsciously said: "Abandon-engine-detonate-push-push-push-spacecraft." It took him a good five seconds for him to finish his sentence with great difficulty.
Fortunately, Atlas's reaction was clever enough, and Zhou Xin only said it vaguely, and she heard it clearly. At that moment, she already understood what Zhou Xin was trying to express, and after just one second of analysis, she had already determined the feasibility of this method.
However, just as Atlas gave this command, it was ruthlessly rejected by the Voyager:
"Illegal instructions. The AI does not have the authority to issue the command. ”
"Little sister, this is what the captain's brother just said, how did it become an illegal order." Atlas said anxiously during an exchange with the Voyager.
"Your Excellency Captain's order is not clear, so this ship cannot carry out this order." The Voyager refused again.
"What's going on now, will the captain's brother have time to give a second order?" The little girl was even more anxious, "We just need to understand what he means and make our own judgments." You say, isn't our situation critical right now? ”
"This ship could be destroyed at any time, and the probability of survival is less than one percent." As for the current situation, the judgment of the Voyager is no different from that of the Atlas.
"Is there any method we can use to get out of here?"
"Correct."
"In that case, isn't it possible to ditch an engine?"
"False, the person giving the order does not have the authority to give the order." It's all back to the beginning.
"Then what do you have to do to agree?" Atlas was frustrated by the Voyager's reaction, but she knew that the Voyager was not to blame, it was now just following pre-set instructions.
"Unless you get an accurate order from Your Excellency Captain."
"Brother Captain! Brother Captain! In desperation, Atlas could only call out to Zhou Xin. Of course, because the conversation between Atlas and the Voyager was not in the usual sense, the long conversation just now lasted only a second.
But even then, there were only seventeen seconds left. At this moment, the little girl didn't have more time to exchange ideas with Zhou Xin, but directly asked the best result of her analysis: "Brother Captain, your order is to abandon the No. 3 secondary engine and detonate it immediately, right?" ”
Fortunately, at this time, because the main engine was already a little unbearable, the acceleration of the Voyager was reduced a lot at this time. This made Zhou Xin regain some consciousness a little, and he happened to hear Atlas's question.
"Abandon - abandon - engine three." In fact, at this time, Zhou Xin only regained consciousness, and did not return to normal thinking ability, he just subconsciously repeated Atlas's words. However, this is enough.
"Prepare to ditch the third secondary engine." Atlas gave the order again. At this time, there were only thirteen seconds left, and the entrance to the spatial passage was only about three hundred meters left.
"Ditch the No. 3 secondary engine." The Voyager repeated. At this moment, the only remaining auxiliary engine, which had long been broken, quickly detached from the tail of the Voyager, and after just three seconds, a white light appeared from the detached engine.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Xin, who had regained some consciousness a little, once again felt an unprecedented huge thrust coming from behind him. Within a second of thrust generation, he fainted, just like everyone else.
Just before Zhou Xin fainted, in space, a huge bright yellow light cluster suddenly appeared in the tail of the Voyager, which was shrouded in dense beams. Not long after the light cluster appeared, the shock wave formed by the explosion of the engine reached the Voyager, and in an instant, the entire ship slammed forward, barely burrowing into the space passage that was only slightly larger than the Voyager at the last moment......
