Chapter 119: A Category 13 Tsunami! (4)

When Duan Qing heard this, he stood up suddenly, but sat down again.

She was also struggling.

Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "In fact, the 'Material Number' is the most seriously damaged, but we should be thankful, at least there are not many people above." Moreover, materials can be slowly salvaged after the sea calms down. ”

"So, let it go." He continued, "If you don't make up your mind now...... Don't forget! The Materiel is connected to the other ships in the Big Ship system! If this ship sinks, other ships will sink together because of the drag of the cable! ”

Xu Liang woke up Duanqing with a word!

"I'm sorry, I was too flustered." Duan Qing immediately collected her emotions, "Understood." As long as people are saved...... Supplies or something, one day you can get it back! I'm going to manually cut those cables right now. ”

Xu Liang's face was still ugly, and he watched Duanqing's manual operation to disconnect the thousands of thick cables connected to the "Material Number". With the end of this operation, there was nothing left in the ship's system to stop the sinking of the Materiel.

More than half of the megaton supership has already been sunk into the sea.

The waves are howling and the water is choppy.

After each wall of water, the huge hull of the "Materiel" was more submerged than before.

Finally, its bow suddenly rose high and soared from a 38-degree angle to a near-vertical 90-degree angle.

Then it was swallowed by the sea.

It was the first supership to sink.

The sinking of the megaton hull has escalated the already crazy sea again. The resulting descending turbulence is unstoppable and evolves into a vortex.

The vortex has a powerful attraction, frantically tearing at the surrounding cables. Countless hulls are like scrap metal in disrepair, and the unpleasant sound of cables pulling and rubbing can still be heard even under such strong winds and waves.

At this time, Xu Liang's face was still heavy.

Although he only relies on intuition, he is relatively prone to get entangled in details with scientific theories, and intuition often gives a general feeling from the most macro level.

By the time Duan Qing was operating the cable stripping material, he had already focused on the entire "big ship system".

The Materiel was the first mega-megaship to sink into the ship.

But most likely, not the last.

"What about the Human? Although some people were transferred to other giant ships, it was still there with the most people. And what about other mega ships? ”

Duan Qing: "The 'Human' is acceptable, it is a giant ship second only to our 'Ecology' in terms of intactness, and the worst situation now is the 'Science and Technology'. ”

"There's a central computer on it for the big ship system!"

"Moreover, the display board I am using now is also controlled through the central computer, if there is anything wrong with the science and technology number......"

Duan Qing suddenly paused when she said this.

She looked at the display board in shock, which showed the exterior of the "Technik". I saw a shocking wave suddenly appear on the chaotic sea, and the devastated super-tech ship rushed away.

This is after the "resonance", the wave with a large peak difference appears. Its instantaneous destructive power, that is, instantaneous output energy, far exceeds that of any previous wave!

In the image, the shock wave of this huge water flow is getting bigger and bigger, gradually from a small dot to filling the entire screen image.

Subsequently, the image transmission was disconnected.

The screen went black.

I don't know if the "Science and Technology" is alive or dead. What is certain is that the amazing blow of the waves just now absolutely hit the computer system hard!

"So, we're completely out of touch?" Duan Han Dao.

What Duan Han said was the truth.

In the cabin, the atmosphere slowly changed.

Compared with the previous waves of tension, the cabin at this time suddenly became quiet.

Having lost information from the outside world, the dimly lit cabin has become a little weird.

Through the countless layers of wall panels and hulls, the sound of the waves howling outside can be heard here, which is very faint.

The "Ecology" they were on was what Xu Liang thought was the safest ship by his senses, and now it was the least damaged and had the least inclination.

The power supply caused by the sudden increase in the intensity of the tsunami just now flickered on and off, except for some broken glass and a few chairs that toppled over, everything here was normal.

But the other ships don't know if they can be so lucky.

The first to calm down was Xu Liang.

He stepped aside and moved two chairs. Then he stuffed the two girls into their seats, and finally stood in front of them.

"Two fellow scientists." Xu Liang said, "I want to say one thing. ”

"I have a habit of doing things."

He walked to Duan Han's side and faced Duan Qing: "You may not know this habit yet. So I'm going to explain it to you first. ”

"My habit is to think about the worst-case scenario first in everything I do."

"This is an experience I have gained from working on the front line for many years and using countless thrilling escapes."

Duan Qing: "Our current situation is not bad enough? ”

"Not enough." Xu Liang said succinctly.

"According to your original plan, the entire large ship system has very strong resistance, and can withstand the super tsunami that gradually increases to level 13."

"But the reality is more than you might expect: the intensity of the tsunami increases dramatically when it reaches level 12."

"And in the face of this sudden increase in intensity, there is a huge problem with the big ship system."

"The 'Material' is completely sunk, the 'Science and Technology' is not known to be alive or dead, and the 'Human' is on the verge of danger...... I can now tell you with my gut that our Eco will not sink, or at least not sink completely. However, other ships ...... I don't know! ”

"The construction method of the large ship system determines that for every sinking ship, the tsunami resistance of the entire system is weakened."

"So, do you know what the worst-case scenario is?"

"That is, except for the Ecology we are on, all the other ships will be sunk!"

"Annihilation."

When Xu Liang said this, his voice became even deeper.

"You may not be aware of the problem yet."

"This is the most critical moment for human civilization."

"The number of human beings has shrunk from billions to hundreds of thousands of people based on the 'big ship system', but now, it is very likely that it will be reduced to the people on our 'Ecology'."

"As you said, Eco is a complex ecosystem that resembles a biosphere system, and this ecosystem does not require human intervention at all. Even, if it weren't for my strong intuition, you wouldn't have come on this ship with me! ”

"So, are you prepared for the worst?"

"Is it the entire human civilization, the primate civilization that has evolved for 4.6 billion years to form intelligence, and there are only three of us left?"

"Are you mentally prepared for this?"

"It's not impossible."

After Xu Liang finished speaking, there was a long silence in the cabin.

In the large ship system, there are tens of thousands of large and small ships, and if it is based on probability, it will not fall to this point.

But Xu Liang swept over at a glance, only the "Ecology" gave him the greatest sense of security, and the rest of the ships, all the other ships, the probability of sinking was "extremely high".

Xu Liang was not alarmist.

Apart from a limited number of management operators, there is no permanent population and no other human elite. At best, they can be considered ordinary operators.

In the case of information blockage, it is really possible that they are the last remaining people of humanity!

After saying this, the temperature in the cabin seemed to drop suddenly!

Obviously, nothing has changed, but the three of them, especially the two girls, all felt a chill coming out of their hearts.

"The last human?"

The cabin was quiet again.

This cabin is designed with double-layered extremely thick glass compartments.

The shaking just now shattered the glass inside. The outer layer of glass is still intact.

Beyond the outer layer of glass is the "ecosystem" in a completely sealed state.

This is an enlarged version of Duanqing's Biosphere 3, where the trees are gloomy and the soil is filthy when viewed from their present perspective.

There seemed to be an unknown animal moving inside, bringing the branches and leaves to the sway. But when you look closely, you can't see anything.

Xu Liang also moved a chair and sat opposite them: "Are you ready?" ”
