Chapter 14: Cosmic Drifting
Countless space debris formed a violent torrent and poured towards Loki's back.
Because of the explosion at close range, space debris arrived in an instant, and by the time Loki reacted, there was no way to avoid it.
"Click!"
A mechanical leg was swept up in a torrent of debris, and immediately decomposed as quickly as a papier-mâché. The hard alloy parts couldn't hold on for even a second, and they were crumbled into powder in the blink of an eye.
Losing a mechanical leg, the body that originally relied on the two-legged auxiliary thruster to control the balance immediately spun, and under the double gravity of the space storm and the torrent of explosive debris, it hit the wall of the space cave headlong, and the hard metal fuselage immediately sank, and the external armor parts quickly spread out countless spiderweb-like cracks.
In just a moment, Loki and Luo Xueqi's cockpit had been sucked off the edge of the crack by the space storm, and they were about to be swept into the space storm.
"Not good!"
In a flash of light, Loki made a quick decision, and the fuselage suddenly burst open, and his body was split in two.
Since you can't maintain balance without losing one of your mechanical legs, you can simply abandon your entire lower body and keep only your upper body and a pair of wings to restore your balance!
"Bang!"
After abandoning the lower half, the wing's psionic energy erupted suddenly, and a compressed psionic aura erupted, holding Luo Xueqi's cockpit with both hands, and Loki was once again like a wild horse that had escaped, slamming headfirst into the cave wall full of spatial cracks next to him.
"Bang!"
Loki's head armor was dented, and countless tiny cracks spread out of his wings and body. The wall of the space that was hit also shattered like a mirror at this time. Loki rushed out with the cockpit of the plane, like a fish escaping from a glass water pipe, and plunged headlong into the vast cosmic sea
Under the wings, he spewed out spiritual energy and rushed into the depths of the universe with Loki and Luo Xueqi.
"Whew!"
It was a long time before Loki stopped in the dark universe and steadied the fuselage.
Looking back, the spatial passage was gone.
In fact, after leaving the spatial passage, the spatial passage is already gone, it is a special kind of being, which is not in the same dimension as the universe.
Surrounded by a pitch-black universe, weightless, cold, vacuum, lack of oxygen, and completely unable to distinguish the direction. Only a few stars that are not many light-years away, emitting a faint light.
In fact, from encountering the space storm to escaping, it was only a few seconds before and after. But that thrilling experience was enough to make Loki unforgettable for the rest of his life. This kind of palpitations of near-death and survival, thinking back at this moment, it is still difficult to calm down in my heart for a long time!
After a long time, Loki began to examine his losses.
Except for the lower body that he discarded, the upper body is still intact. It's just that there are many cracks on the fuselage, and the metal skull is also dented due to the impact.
But the overall problem is not big, all kinds of functions are completely normal, and the crystal brain has not been damaged, as long as the control machine is repaired, it can basically be restored to normal.
And the cockpit of the plane where Luo Xueqi is located is not damaged in a large area because of its own protection. There is an oxygen circulation system in the cabin, so you don't have to worry about breathing.
However, because the cockpit is sealed and opaque, it is impossible to see the outside from the inside, and Luo Xueqi probably doesn't know what she just experienced now.
"Except for the loss of energy, the other problems are not big!" Loki muttered to himself.
In this accident, the most severe loss is energy.
The modified fuselage, the energy capsule has been reduced by more than half, and the energy carried is not much, except for the consumption when escaping, and when the fuselage is self-detonated, most of it is lost.
The energy block is now less than one-third of its original size, and in order to survive in this universe, it must be used sparingly, and it is also necessary to find a planet where human beings can live.
Several insects crawled out of Loki's body and began to repair the damaged body. Loki's gaze surveyed his surroundings.
"Which way to go?"
Loki said to himself, there is no sense of direction at all in the vast universe, although he can see the light emitted by the distant stars, but he doesn't know how far away it is, maybe it is millions of light years away, and he may not be able to reach it in a lifetime.
"It seems that I can only resign myself to fate!"
After a few moments, unable to determine which direction to take, Loki had no choice but to decide. The wing's psionic aura erupted, hugging Luo Xueqi's cockpit and heading towards the depths of the universe.
The universe is a vacuum gravity-free environment, there is no frictional resistance, as long as a push force is applied to the body, it can automatically slide, no need to continuously spray energy, but can save a lot of energy.
Loki held the cockpit and began a drifting journey in the vast universe to find a planet for human survival.
"It's a pity that I'm not an interstellar machine, and I don't have parts that can be modified, otherwise, I can make an interstellar signal transmitter to send rescue spiritual waves to the universe for help."
During the boring drifting journey, Loki could only talk to himself to relieve his boredom, "However, even if you can launch a distress spirit wave, the universe is so big, it may not be received by humans......, right?"
Time kept passing, and two more days passed in the blink of an eye.
There is no day or night in the universe, the surrounding environment is always cold and dark, there is no gravity, no air, no sense of direction, nothing is silent, there is no sound.
Loki could only count the passage of time through the timer in his skull.
In the opaque cabin, Luo Xueqi has entered a dormant state. Although Loki couldn't see what's going on inside the cabin, he could sense Luo Xueqi's life. It was the only comfort it could feel in the vast universe.
When the cabin was first assembled, Loki added a hibernation mode to the cabin's gas circulation system, which could change the proportional composition of oxygen and add some aura energy to allow the people in the cabin to enter a low-consumption hibernation state.
This kind of dormancy is not completely non-consumptive hibernation, the people in the cabin will still breathe and consume the body's energy, but the body's various organs will be reduced to a minimum, and they can barely maintain the needs of life, just like animals hibernating.
After entering the universe, Loki activated the hibernation mode of the cabin, allowing Luo Xueqi to enter this dormant state.
Entering the dormant state can protect the lives of the people in the cabin for a certain period of time, so that they can survive for more than three months without eating or drinking, and there will be no danger to their lives.
However, after three months, there is no guarantee!
In other words, if he didn't want Luo Xueqi to die, Loki only had three months to find a planet suitable for human habitation, or get rescued.
