Chapter 52: A Critical Moment

More than half a minute had passed since Atlas controlled the Voyager to forcibly rush to the entrance of the passage, and Zhou Xin, who had been in a state of turbulence all the time, suddenly felt that the Voyager was suddenly stalling at high speed. At the same time www.biquge.info he noticed an explosion of considerable scale in the center of the ship's tail.

"The casing of the main engine was punctured." In the midst of a large number of alarms, the report of the Voyager clearly reached Zhou Xin's ears, "The hot gas is continuing to erode the shell, and the engineering robot has rushed to deal with it." ”

"The thrust of the ship lost about five percent." The Voyager was followed by Atlas's report, "but it won't have a big impact yet." ”

As soon as her words fell, Zhou Xin, who was paying attention to the perspective behind the spaceship, saw a familiar blinding white light suddenly emerge from the dense red light. As the Voyager made an emergency evasion, the white light narrowly streaked past the warp engine in the left rear, and then carved a shallow mark into the ship's back deck.

"Take care to protect the warp engine." Seeing this, Zhou Xin reminded, "Don't let the engine be destroyed again." ”

Without his reminder, Atlas understood this. In just a few seconds, the two white lights that came immediately after were also dodged. However, at the cost of dodging the white light, the Voyager was also hit by several beams that should have been dodged, one of which happened to hit the No. 3 secondary engine, which had remained intact until now.

"There was an explosion in the fuel delivery pipeline of the No. 3 auxiliary engine." Just as Zhou Xin felt another violent tremor, the Voyager reported to him the aggravated news, "The pipeline of the exploded part is being depressurized, some fuel is being discarded, and it is preparing to close it." With the use of the backup fuel pipeline, it is expected that the thrust of Engine 3 will be reduced by 30%. ”

Before the words fell, another worse news came, "Living Area 1 has been broken down and is rapidly losing pressure, and in order to prevent it from spreading to a wider area, it is now isolated from the surrounding area. ”

"What about the people inside?" Hearing this, Spred asked anxiously. No wonder he was so nervous, because the first living area happened to be the area where most of the Thunder people gathered.

"Evacuated urgently under the rescue of robots." The Voyager replied with a blank look, "But judging by the speed of the loss of pressure, it is not expected to be able to rescue all personnel." ”

"Send more robots over." Zhou Xin quickly instructed, "Bring enough protective clothing, even if the people inside don't have time to come out for the time being, wearing protective clothing can allow them to stay inside for a while longer." He quickly added, "Inform all crew members to wear protective clothing to prevent accidents." ”

After ordering this, Zhou Xin, who had always been on the screen, suddenly saw a dazzling red light flash in front of the camera, and many people who saw this scene with him subconsciously closed their eyes. By the time they reopened their eyes, the red light had long since disappeared, and all that was left was a pitch-black screen.

"The visible light detector in the rear was hit." Atlas said quickly, "This is the last visual observation device in the back of the ship." ”

This was just the beginning, and after a few seconds, the image from the front of the Voyager was gone. Now they can only rely on the only still working lens mounted on the side of the Voyager to understand the situation on the outside, and the location of that lens is also one of the few relatively intact parts of the Voyager's shell. Because it was close to the warp engine, it was narrowly preserved by Atlas's focus on that part of the area. Similarly, because the lens is in a blind corner, its field of view is also very narrow, and all they can see is the corner of the warp engine and a large number of beams of light that continue to pass in front of the camera.

Ignorance of the outside world, coupled with the sound of explosions coming from time to time in the spaceship, made everyone, including Zhou Xin, feel a little uneasy. In order to reassure himself and others, Zhou Xin decisively asked the Voyager to launch a probe around, trying to replace the fixed probe on the Voyager to observe the surrounding situation. Although the dense beams around them didn't keep the detectors alive for long, they did send back some information from the outside world.

However, after seeing the brief picture sent back by the detector, Zhou Xin suddenly felt that it was better not to know the situation outside. For in the first frame, he saw the small warships still following the Voyager catching up.

"What to do, if they join the attack, we won't have a chance to escape." Dart only glanced at it and accurately judged the situation.

"Prepare to resist the onslaught, their attack is coming." Before Dart's words could be finished, Atlas's voice rang out. Immediately after, a series of explosions sounded in everyone's ears.

"The outer and second-floor compartments are no longer able to resist attacks, and enemy attacks have begun to invade the third-floor area on a large scale." Hearing this alarm, Zhou Xin knew very well that the Voyager was now on the edge of a cliff. Inside the third floor is the core area such as living quarters and fuel tanks. If this part of the area were subjected to a full-scale attack, he simply did not dare to imagine what would happen.

Now, everyone in the command cabin was racking their brains to think of a way out of the predicament, but the other party obviously didn't want to give Zhou Xin any buffer time. No sooner had the Voyager finished speaking than the ship's overview on the screen showed that nearly half of the ship's structure had been destroyed in the third floor. At the same time, a yellow alert for attacks has been placed in some core areas.

"Is that really all we have to do here?" This thought suddenly popped up in Zhou Xin's heart. The data on the screen shows that Voyager is now less than a thousand kilometers away from the entrance to the Space Passage. At the current speed of the ship, the Voyager would have been able to reach it in just over a minute. But now, this journey of more than a minute was like a moat in front of Zhou Xin and them, and many people in the command cabin already showed desperate looks on their faces.

"A minute, just a minute." Although this idea came to mind, Zhou Xin did not give up at this time, he thought to himself while meditating. Suddenly, the next alarm from the Voyager alerted him......
