Chapter 7: A Greater Surprise
After all, I've been in the wheelhouse for a month, and although I don't know how to fly a spaceship yet, I still have an impression of what the equipment on the bridge probably does. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, cargo spaceships like Benjamin often fly fixed routes, and the current AI technology is quite advanced, so Benjamin only needs Sister Isa alone to be able to drive easily. Moreover, most of the time, I see Sister Isa eating and playing in the cockpit, or lying on the armrest of the driver's seat and dozing off, obviously in a normal flight state, there is nothing to do.
So, I didn't think it was too much of a problem for Sister Isa to let me look at the navigator, seeing that she had fallen asleep on the arm of the chair, I could only shrug my shoulders helplessly and pick up the helmet on the bridge.
Unlike the full-body experience chamber in the recreation room, the cab uses a holographic sensor helmet that enhances the wearer's sense of sight and hearing, while helping the wearer stay awake and sharp. I was already familiar with this very useful helmet, and soon I was logged into the system and entered the learning interface.
"Hi, good afternoon Xiaoqiang, have you finished your homework yesterday?" In front of me was a classroom where Sister Isa, dressed in a teacher's uniform, was looking at me with a smile.
I feel very speechless about Sister Isa's irresponsible behavior, but after all, I am a passenger, and the effect of learning with AI is not bad, so I acquiesced to Sister Isa's arrangement.
Shortly after I started learning with AI, the unexpected happened.
My first instinct was that my chair was vibrating violently, and then I saw the image of the class blurry in front of me, and then the image disappeared.
As I scrambled to remove my helmet, the first thing that caught my eye was a red light above the bridge, which was constantly flashing and glowing.
At the same time, the voice of the AI rang out: "Emergency, emergency, forward collision danger, forward collision danger." ”
"How can this happen, this route is obviously newly opened, this time it's a big trouble!!" Sister Isa, who had been sleeping before, was standing in front of the bridge, operating quickly while not forgetting her trademark chatter.
I hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to see if I could help her, seeing that I walked to her side, she said: "Xiao Qiang, don't be afraid, you help me look at the degree on this screen, if the red word jumps out, tell me immediately, remember it's red." ”
I hurriedly agreed, staring at the screen in front of me.
The voice of the AI still echoes in the ears: "Collision warning, collision warning, object in front approaching the middle ......"
"Isha, what's wrong?" The old captain's calm voice rang out at this moment.
"I don't know, grandpa, suddenly there is this meteorite on this route, I almost hit one just now, and I'm slowing down." Isha replied quickly to the old captain's words, but the movements of her hands did not slow down.
"Turn up the front monitor image and turn it to slow mode." The old captain said this to the AI.
"Yes, Captain Jason, external monitor footage has been called up." With AI's words, the scene in the entire cab suddenly changed.
The brightly lit room was suddenly gone, replaced by darkness, and starlight filled my field of vision, but in front of me, there were many large, black objects rushing in our direction. After a month of virtual teaching, I already understood that what I saw was an AI-simulated outboard picture, so I just waited quietly.
Sure enough, the old captain's voice sounded again: "Slow down twenty times, turn on the lights." ”
The scene changed again, and a black object lit up and slowly rotated in the light.
I think it looks like some kind of man-made object rather than a meteorite, it looks like it's a part of a larger object that has fallen from it, and on its flattest side, you can see that it's been painted.
"Oh my God, Grandpa, it looks like the wreckage of an Imperial battleship!!" The moment I saw the object, Isa's frightened voice rang out nearby.
"AI, immediately turn the course to KJF46023, fourth-level speed, and open the first-level shield." The old captain's calm voice sounded again: "Find the nearby planet as soon as possible, and notify me as soon as you find it." He paused, as if he was making a decision: "Tell everyone to assemble in the cockpit, collect all the information about the war on the Internet, filter and summarize it, and then notify me." Also, remove the image. ”
As his words fell, the familiar sight of the wheelhouse returned to us, but I knew that the previous calm would not last, so I looked up in the direction of the old captain.
The old captain sat firmly in the captain's seat, a little bit behind the driver's seat, holding a small personal terminal in his hand, and was looking at something with his head down. Sister Isa, on the other hand, had already left the driver's seat and was standing behind the old captain at the moment, looking at the small screen with him, but not speaking.
"Xiaoqiang, please go and pour me a cup of coffee, and by the way, help everyone else bring a cup, thank you." The old captain seemed to see my gaze, raised his head and smiled at me, and said.
"Yes, good captain." I hurriedly agreed, and ran briskly in the direction of the coffee machine, but my attention was focused on what he had said earlier: about war???
It has been almost three hundred years since the establishment of the Galactic Empire, and since the official accession of Emperor Qin Zheng, it has begun a large-scale expansion. The space journey that was too difficult for ordinary people before became much easier after Qin Zheng sent the transformers, who were able to complete the mission with high quality in the extremely harsh space environment, and the human beings of the solar system finally walked out of the cradle and began to expand their territory in the vast galaxy.
At the beginning, human beings were still relatively cautious, mainly starting from the planets near the solar system, and gradually adopting a cannibalization policy to expand, and most people didn't know if there were other intelligent creatures in this vast universe. According to the research and argument of countless experts and scholars, one thing has been determined, when two intelligent civilizations full of expansion meet, there will only be one result, that is, you live or die.
This terrifying picture made Qin Zheng dare to act cautiously, after all, the universe is so big, there are too many possibilities. But as time slowly passed, decades passed, and the galaxies within fifteen light-years around the solar system have been landed and modified by human expeditionary fleets, most of which are not suitable for human permanent residence, but can provide an unprecedented abundance of minerals and resources.
As a result, a circle of galaxies around the solar system that is about four light-years away has been transformed into a production base planet on a large scale, and countless resources have been transported from all over the world, and soon become strategic resources such as spaceships, machinery, weapons, etc., flying to even more distant places......
For the sake of safety, Qin Zheng continued to expand its territory while also implementing a fiefdom system. This system can be described as killing two birds with one stone, that is, rewarding the previous meritorious heroes, and inspiring more young people with dreams to join in this great cause of expedition to the sea of stars.
Nearly three hundred years have passed, the Sun Empire has also become the Galactic Empire, and human beings have traveled to more than 10 million planets, and the vastness of the territory is simply incredible, but another intelligent creature that has been worrying about it before has never appeared. There are countless people who are inclined to think that human beings are really the only ones in the universe who are favored.
These are the lessons that our history teacher told us when I was in school. I remember that the teacher, who was over half a hundred years old, had a red face, waved his hands passionately, and said loudly: "Only we human beings will be the only masters of this world......
But what I had just heard the old captain say was war ?!!!
