Chapter 256: The Aftermath of Deep Sleep
Hibernation Module No. 1, as if it had been emptied, was largely inaccessible.
The two also tried to find a communication tool, but unfortunately they found nothing, and at this time, the lighting system of the No. 1 hibernation module, as well as some internal instruments, flickered intermittently.
This is the ship's internal power surge, ISSAC101 began to think from a professional point of view.
"Is the system voltage unstable?"
TPA368 also has relevant experience, and he probably judged that the power surge was caused by the input and removal of a large load of electricity, but ISSAC101 guessed that the problem may be more serious.
"It must be that the power system is disconnected from the uncoupled circuit, or that something covering the circuit network is not fixed......"
The two of them suddenly became nervous, the entire spaceship is maintained by the power system, in case the power system can't cover here, they will be annoyed.
ISSAC101 and TPA368 also wanted to leave the No. 1 hibernation chamber to check for electrical problems, but there was a trouble here, that is, all the doors inside the cabin were physically sealed.
"Hell, I can't pry at all!" The two of them tried a lot of effort, but they didn't pry the alloy hatch.
"No, it doesn't work from here."
"Then there is no way, we have to find another way."
ISSAC101 found a vent in the overhead ceiling.
"Since the doors inside are locked, the others must have escaped from other positions."
"It seems that our companion should have left here......"
tpa368 decided: "Listen, I think we should get out of here, I'd rather get out of here than be locked up in this iron cage, don't you think?" ”
………………
The two men climbed all the way to the outer level from the vents, they should now be in the corridor near the location of the flight control center, and ISSAC101 recalled the overall structure of the ship in his mind.
The ship was built by C.E.C. Linkage and Corfield Shipbuilding, and its hull is powered by the latest technology, the first generation of high-energy space jump engines.
However, this technology is still immature, and it still takes a long time to decelerate and accelerate when the ship is flying between stars, so the ship is also equipped with a hibernation system to ensure that the crew can survive the long voyage. The structure of the ship is extremely complex, with a flight control deck, a bridge, an upper deck, a stern deck containing a centrifugal engine room, and a lower deck that serves as a warehouse.
"The hibernation room should be very close to the flight control center, but we have been climbing for more than half an hour, and we have not seen an open passage or exit."
In order to make full use of the hull, the ventilation ducts were full of plastic pipes, and the pipes were full of power cables, which were piled up everywhere in the narrow space, so the two of them climbed very hard.
"Boom!"
ISSAC101 was rubbed off a shoe by a nearby pipeline, and the thing fell down with a loud echo.
"TPA368, there should be an exit here!"
"Really?"
The two men gathered together and found an outlet under the ventilation ducts that were piled up with a large number of pipes.
"Tom!"
They jumped directly from the ceiling, ISSAC101 fell to the ground with agility, while TPA368 on the side slipped and almost fell on his heels. Fortunately, the issac101 behind him quickly grabbed him.
“**! What the hell is this! ”
TPA368 reached down and touched it, and the palm of his hand was a yellow substance, disgusting, and it looked like something like poop.
"It's disgusting!"
Issac101 looked around and saw that there was also a large patch of this yellow substance on the wall, and he was very careful to find a tooth embedded in it, refracting a little metallic in the dim light. He endured his nausea and reached out to pull out the tooth, which was a golden denture.
Strange? Why is there a denture in this!
"What's going on in this house?" tpa368 asked suspiciously, seeing the dentures in his hand.
The two calmed down and searched the room carefully, and found that it was a compartment similar to an activity room, and the location should be near the other side of the corridor of the flight control center, and they climbed over it and ran here from the flight control center.
The room was a mess, with a large amount of waste paper scattered on the floor, and a mug on the table had fallen over, and the coffee inside had already solidified on the table. A pot of greenery in the corner is almost wilted, and it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time.
"I don't know, but I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic!"
issac101 shook his head, pointing to a blood-mottled line of text on the wall.
“cuttheirlimbs!”
Cut off their limbs, what does it mean, the declaration of the mob?
"Look at this, could it be that there is a riot on the ship!" tpa368 raised the corners of his eyebrows.
"Who knows? But then we have to be careful. ”
Both of them cheered up, knowing full well that something important must have happened on board.
Riots happen from time to time on such large ships, and some conflicts will result in heavy casualties, ISSAC101 and TPA368 have found weapons respectively.
…… That's right, at least there must be a weapon for self-defense, ISSAC101 found a steel pipe to take advantage of, and TPA368 got a slightly heavier wrench with some oil stains on it. In addition, the two also found a flashlight in a drawer, as well as a few chemical glow sticks.
They first opened the iron door of the activity room, and went out to look, but the corridor was deserted, and no one could be seen. And, because of the power control system, all the nearby power supplies have been turned off.
"There was no one and the atmosphere was terrible......"
The road leading to the flight control center leads directly to the waiting hall, which leads to the waiting hall and to the left of the waiting hall to access the elevator and toilets. The elevator goes down to the waiting hall of the train. Entering from the right side of the hall is the spacecraft self-inspection system, which can check for damage to the spacecraft and restart the ship's system. Down the side door is the tram system control center.
The primary goal of ISSAC101 and TPA368 is to go to the bridge, which is the core of the entire flight control deck, which contains the captain's studio, the external communication room, the communication button touchdown, and the most important thing is, of course, the flight control platform on the bridge, whether it is correcting the course, drawing the track, and all kinds of complex navigation instructions, it must be transmitted to all parts of the ship through Guò.
To reach the bridge from the elevator on the left, the power of the tram was required, so the two of them had to pass directly from here.
"Assuming there is a real riot on the ship, will those thugs intercept us in this passage?" issac101 said he was worried about whether there would be any accidents when he walked out of this road.
"Listen, issac101, we don't have a choice."
tpa368 felt that he had a little headache, he held his forehead from time to time, and said to issac101 in a slow voice: "I suspect that there is a reason for our amnesia, have you ever heard of pandorum, that is, the condition of biological side effects of deep space flight, which seems to be medically called deep sleep sequelae, or orbital dysfunction. ”
“…… Pandorum is a very rare symptom, but it can occur in deep space workers who hibernate for long periods of time, such as crews like us, in the claustrophobic space of a ship, or in a long period of hibernation, there will be problems on the mental level. ”
"This symptom is not easy to detect, at the beginning people will tremble, itch, and then the body will slowly burn, boiling, long-term deep space operations produce negative biological reactions, will lead ordinary people to have paranoia, the brain in a state of madness will produce negative effects, mental disorders, until madness."
