[Haha, I feel good today, continue to code words, ask for red tickets to stimulate passion! ] 】

After thinking twice, Tony gave up piloting the mecha and chose the exoskeleton light armor with communication functions instead.

There are several reasons to give up the mecha, first of all, Tony does not have a combat mecha, the engineering mecha is not equipped with melee weapons, and Tony and others are not good at piloting mechas, their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced, and it is better to wear light armor for melee combat; Secondly, if there is danger in the engine compartment, piloting a bulky engineering mech is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing; In addition, the outer structure of the cockpit remains intact, and the interior cannot be in a vacuum.

However, the biggest threat to the human body entering the engine compartment comes from low temperatures, although the universe does not reach absolute low temperatures, its temperature is also frightening, reaching minus degrees Celsius, and the difference between minus and zero is absolute zero is almost negligible, of course, from the perspective of scientific rigor, this almost negligible temperature proves that the universe also has temperature.

On the surface of the planet, human beings are thinking about how to reduce the temperature of objects to maintain quality, but in fact, in the vast universe, keeping objects at temperature is a more important research topic, and any equipment or food must undergo the test of extreme cold before it can be put into practical use.

……

Although Tony is not a mech fighter, he has a wealth of experience in astronautics, and he understands that the cold, while terrifying, is not as deadly as a vacuum.

After arriving at the No. 3 auxiliary engine, Tony attached a special instrument to the steel gate of the engine compartment and connected it to the main control optical brain, through which the indoor temperature data of the engine compartment was obtained.

-17 degrees below zero!

This is the data fed back by the main control optical brain, which proves the fact that the No. 3 secondary engine is in a dormant state, because, theoretically, if the engine is completely turned off, then its temperature cannot remain minus 17 degrees, and only the dormant engine will emit a certain temperature, and minus 17 degrees is exactly the temperature that can be maintained in the dormant state.

The news made everyone excited, and the temperature of minus 17 degrees Celsius will not cause damage to the human body in a short period of time.

For unknown reasons, the main control light brain was not connected to the engine compartment, and the hatch could not be manipulated to open, Tony used the special tools he brought to pry open the hatch, and opened the hatch with a gap about one meter wide, and then used the tool to jam the master, and survived the accidental closing.

It's so dark!

Tony arranged for two people to wait at the steel gate to answer him, and the other three guards gently sneaked into the engine room, at this time Prince Morton was short of manpower, and Captain Tony had to go into battle himself......

The No. 3 sub-engine is not the main engine of the warp speed class, but the general impulse engine, its main role is to change the direction of navigation and carry out the initial auxiliary acceleration of space jumping, its individual is not large, the engine compartment is less than 200 square meters, the height is only about 15 meters, and the place occupied by the engine is less than one-third of the entire space.

Tony memorized the layout of the engine bay when he was in the main control room, and upon entering the hatch, a wide circular bridge surrounded the core of the impulse engine.

The pressure in the engine compartment has stabilized, but a biting cold makes people shiver.

"Be careful, everybody...... Huh, what is it? In the darkness, Tony stepped out first, only took a few steps, and suddenly felt as if he had kicked something under his feet.

Because it was so dark, so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, and the light from the helmets on people's heads couldn't see anything in the darkness, Tony crouched down.

"Alien...... Back off! ”

Tony, who was squatting, shone the light of his head on the ground, just now he kicked a pile of unknown black substance, and the black substance reflected a black cold light under the illumination of the light, Tony suddenly felt a chill down his spine, he was too familiar with this kind of luster, and he screamed, and his body retreated quickly, and at the same time, the other three guards also retreated to the steel gate for the first time.

With a "bang", as soon as Tony's body retreated, the two guards outside worked together to remove the tools that were stuck in the door, and the heavy steel gate closed heavily.

"Captain, is it really an alien?" One of the guards looked terrified, and the battle with the alien along the way had made him look like a frightened bird.

"Yes, absolutely!" Tony said with an affirmative face.

"Why didn't you chase us?" The other soldier asked, even before he had time to see clearly.

"I don't know." Tony shook his head solemnly.

"Captain Tony, how's it going?" Dr. Wayne's voice rang from the communication system inside the headset, and it was clear that the holographic surveillance system in the main control room was keeping an eye on them.

"There's aliens in there." Tony Road.

"Are you sure?"

"You can't go wrong, and it's a living alien with a lustrous black." Tony is very sure that he already has a lot of experience in screening during this time of fighting with aliens.

"Why didn't I chase you?" Dr. Wayne's voice was full of confusion.

"I don't know, doctor."

"Well, Captain Tony, there are two options now, first, retreat immediately, and we'll get back on the Locke 1 Tender and get out of here; Second, you venture in to see what happens, but it is important to tell you that the risk of venturing in is quite high for the six of you, because if it is certain that the alien will spread the attack, we will retreat to Locke 1 as soon as possible, and you may not have enough time to get on board. ”

Captain Tony glanced at the other five and fell silent.

"Doctor, let's enter." Captain Tony nodded to the other five, and the other five also nodded at Captain Tony at the same time, making a decision.

"Good! Your courage deserves to be commended, and you are an honor to the Morton Empire...... According to previous information, the alien is likely to be dormant, you try to be careful, don't alarm the alien, if there is any abnormality, be sure to be safe as the top priority, retreat as soon as possible, even if we evacuate to Locke 1, we will respond at any time, remember to turn on the holographic lens of the light armor helmet......"

"Oh yes, turn right five meters after entering the hatch, there's a manual switch that turns on the lights in the engine compartment, good luck, Captain Tony!"

After communicating with Dr. Wayne's best Dr. A, the six of them were still divided into two groups, two guarding the hatch and four entering.

After carefully priing open the hatch with a special tool, he briefly observed at the door, and saw that there was no abnormal movement, Tony followed Dr. Wayne's instructions, entered first, turned right and felt the manual switch along the metal wall, and turned on the light.

The lights came on one after another, and at that moment, people's eyesight was affected, and they felt that they couldn't see anything in the white expanse, but Tony and they were all well-trained soldiers, and they quickly got used to it.

"Ah......h

The four people who regained their sight almost simultaneously made a suppressed shocking sound, and as far as the eye could see, the entire engine compartment was covered with black pressed aliens, and the aliens seemed to be in a state, and presented a variety of postures clinging to the bulkheads and engines, especially the engines, which were densely covered with a thick layer, layer upon layer, shocking, and the light shone on the alien smooth black body, reflecting a thrilling cold light, which made people shudder.

"Sure enough, it's dormant, Tony, check to see if every alien is keratinized."

"Yes, Doctor."

Tony crouched down and moved carefully inside the mountain of aliens, he didn't dare to hit the aliens with his weapon, but felt them with his hands, because the aliens in the soft state are very different from the aliens in the keratinized state, even if they are wearing gloves, they are easy to distinguish.

"It's keratinization, Dr. ......"

"Captain!" Before Tony could finish his sentence, suddenly, the guards behind him made frightened sounds.

"What's the hell you are yelling about...... Ah......h

Tony turned his head and suddenly gasped, the aliens near the hatch were slowly squirming, Tony felt his hands and feet cold, he had just passed by that place, he was absolutely sure that in the first few seconds, those wriggling aliens were still in a keratinized state.

"Run, Tony!" Dr. Wayne's voice rang out from the headset.

"Retreat!"

Tony, who reacted, suddenly let out a loud shout, and didn't care about the alien who would step on the ground, and ran towards the hatch.

"Phew"

"Phew"

"Phew"

……

There was a dense crash, and black shadows like black lightning shot out of the hatch......

Looking at the aliens surging out like a tide on the holographic screen, chasing after Tony's group, the entire main control hall was extremely quiet, and Prince Morton turned even more pale.

"Your Highness, let's go, the hatches to Locke 1 are all open, and we have enough time to board the ship." Dr. Wayne sighed.

"Let's go." A look of pain flashed on Prince Morton's face, and he seemed to stand up with great difficulty, while a group of big men and a few guards also looked gloomy, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy, and it was clear that Tony and they had no chance of survival.

"Inform Liu Fei that he is still in the maintenance cabin, doctor." Li Wenyan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, he's a mech, I've given the order to retreat through the spaceship, and I've optimized a holographic map to Locke 1, if nothing else, he'll get to the Locke 1 shuttle before we do."

"Oh...... Wait, look! Li Wenyan suddenly rushed to the main console, staring at the holographic screen with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"It's Liu Fei, it's Liu Fei's mecha!" Prince Morton actually cheered, and it was obvious that the dark moon had appeared in the passage outside the third auxiliary engine, and the speed was very fast, and the shining metallic armor body was like a wisp of light smoke floating through the passage, which was terrifying.

Not only Prince Morton, but also a group of guards and big men cheered.

"Let's go, Your Highness." Dr. Wayne didn't have a look of surprise on his face, and urged.

"Liu Fei can save them!" Prince Morton said excitedly.

"Your Highness, he is just a person, a mecha, the aliens that swarmed out just now have exceeded a hundred, it is impossible for him to kill so many aliens, and go, the number of aliens awakened is still increasing."

"Ah...... Let's go. Prince Morton, who had been splashed with a basin of cold water, suddenly sobered up and said with a depressed face.

"Let's go. Miss Lee! ”

"No!" Li Wenyan looked resolute, and then, with a gust of wind, rushed to Baiya: "Give me the button!" ”

"Ah......h

"Give me the button, I know you have!" Li Wenyan suddenly grabbed Bai Fang's chest like crazy, shouted hysterically, and a pair of eyes almost erupted in flames.

"Here's ...... for you" White Fang hurriedly took out a handful of space buttons from his trouser pocket, which he forcibly took from Locke 1 in order to maintain a strength advantage with Prince Morton.

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, Li Wenyan summoned a clumsy engineering mecha, entered the cockpit, and rushed outside, probably not very familiar with the engineering mecha, in the main control hall a few stumbling in succession, almost rushing out, walking a long distance and hearing a faint impact sound.

"Your Highness, it's too late!" Dr. Wayne was not moved by Li Wenyan's desperate rush out, he still looked calm, for him, anyone's sacrifice is insignificant, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of Prince Morton, as long as Prince Morton does not die, the Morton system will have a future.

"Let's wait......" Prince Morton had a look of hesitation on his face.

"Your Highness!" Dr. Wayne saw that Prince Morton's mind was wavering, and he immediately became anxious.

"Phew"

"Phew"

"Phew"

……

The big man carrying the iron rod suddenly rushed away in the direction where Li Wenyan disappeared......
