Chapter 589: Man-Machine War (11)
The shuttle carrying Xiaoying, Adam and Xia Lantern flew in the middle of the group to the flagship of Sine Wave Base Camp No. 1, a super interstellar carrier of the machine civilization.
After being woken up by Adam, when she flew for about three hours, Xiaoying looked anxious, and Adam asked, "What's wrong, sister?" ”
"I'm in a hurry, what should I do? I knew that if I knew this, I continued to hibernate. Xiaoying was embarrassed and said, "You must not urinate in the equipment, then I will die of misery." You try to talk to them about it and see if you can create an atmosphere for the cabin seal. ”
"Yes, sister, I'll talk to them."
After a while, Adam said: "Later, we can build an atmosphere that simulates the earth, but I am afraid that diet will not solve it, and they say that it is only after arriving at the nest that it is possible to solve the problem of diet." ”
"It's okay, I have drinking water in my equipment, and as for not eating for more than 20 hours, I can hold back for the time being." Xiaoying said.
"Sister, our shuttle is heading to one of their battleships." Adam said.
The battleship of the sine wave was only about 200 meters long, which was significantly smaller than the battleship of the Ming Dynasty. This time, the scout troops, they sent a total of two battleships.
The shuttle entered the battleship, and the enemy's battleship was built in full openness, that is to say, it had no airlock cabin, no large area of shell, and in appearance, it was framed. Although it is a frame-type ship, it also has several closed cabins inside.
The shuttle stopped in front of one of the closed hidings, and the horseshoe crab detached from the disc. Xiaoying and Adam walked out. Similarly, there is no artificial gravity, but fortunately, their equipment has the function of plantar radiation absorption, so that it will not float.
Since there is no gravitational force in the concept of sine waves, there is no such understanding as the head and feet. So in battleships, there are no floors, no bulkheads, no roofs, frames everywhere. At the place where Xiaoying landed, there was a sealed cabin.
In this cabin, it is impossible to feel whether it is above, or below, or parallel. In short, here, there is no feeling of going up and down, left and right.
"In a weightless environment, how do you tell me to urinate?" Xiaoying said, and Adam immediately translated.
Adam said: "There is artificial gravity in this cabin, which can adjust itself. ”
"That's pretty much it," said Xiaoying, and when he saw a few characters on the wall panel at the door of the cabin, he didn't recognize, so he asked, "What is this?" ”
Adam then asked them, and the answer was, "Human cage."
"Human cage? Lie down! Xiaoying scolded, "It's a cage for people?" Tell them that we are going to bring the summer lanterns in with us. ”
The sealed cabin has an airlock door, and Adam carries a hibernation box with a summer lamp, and follows Xiaoying into the "human cage", and after entering, the cabin is sealed. There is no feeling of going up and down in the cabin, it is a regular hexahedral room, and the side is five meters long, which is quite large.
On one of the walls, it can also be said to be the roof or the floor, because there is no sense of direction up and down, left and right, and on this wall there is something like a small picture frame, with characters and a display screen on it, which should be a control device.
Xiaoying and Adam "walked" together, and Adam looked at it and said, "It's a control device that can provide the earth's environment." ”
Xiaoying said: "Then the global environment. ”
Under Adam's operation, the cabin begins to inflate and pressurize the application (application of artificial gravity, abbreviated as application). In about five minutes, all was done, and there was already artificial gravity and normal air and air pressure in the cabin, and the temperature was adjusted to a pleasant 28°C.
Xiaoying began to take off her equipment, and Adam said, "Sister! ”
Xiaoying smiled and said, "It's okay, if they want to harm my sister, no matter how strict the precautions are, it's useless." ”
Taking off the golden armor and wearing only a light cabin suit, Xiao Yington felt much more relaxed, and then said to Adam: "Tell them, I am a human being, not an animal, and I can't defecate anywhere." Let them figure it out for me. ”
Adam reacted truthfully and said, "They let you solve it in the airlock cabin, and they said ......"
Seeing that Adam wanted to speak and stopped, Xiaoying asked, "What else did you say?" ”
"And say that humans are really troublesome."
"That's the difference between humans and machines," Xiaoying said as she walked towards the airlock, "but they're really good at fooling around, and after the airlock is solved, won't they have to be thrown outside?" I don't have a circulatory system. But then again, with such a large space, it is indeed quite troublesome to get a circulatory system. ”
After going to the airlock to solve the excretion problem, Xiaoying returned and didn't sit down, so she asked Adam to pull the hibernation box of the summer lantern to the corner of the wall, and then she sat on the ground by herself, leaning against the wall, looking at the summer lantern in the hibernation box.
"Sister, do you want to wake him up?" Adam asked.
"No, not yet, it's going to be awkward for me to be alone with him."
"You're not the same race, what are you afraid of?" Adam said truthfully, in terms of biological structure, they are really not the same race, Xiaoying breathes the earth's atmosphere, and Xia Lantern breathes the lighthouse star atmosphere, in fact, these two atmospheres are basically the same, but the lighthouse star atmosphere has a trace amount of methane and chlorine gas more than the earth's atmosphere, which causes the races of the two worlds to be completely different.
"You say," Xiao Ying said, leaning against the bulkhead, "Your Excellency the Wise and Martial Archon, how could he give birth to a son of a lighthouse star?" ”
"His wife is the queen of the lighthouse." Adam said.
"I know," Xiaoying said, "the consul is a double adaptation to two environments, his daughter Xia Xiaola is a double adaptation, but his son Xia Deng is only adapted to the lighthouse star, and not to the earth, which is a pity." ”
"But," said Adam, "aren't earthlings and lighthouse people equal?" ”
Xiaoying said: "That's what I said, but in our Ming civilization, all races, and in people's subconscious, they all think that earthlings are the highest. At the beginning, when the Ming fleet descended on the lighthouse star, the Ming people were treated as gods. To this day, there are still many WindClan and Aotele people in Lighthouse Star who call the Archon Gods.
Therefore, it is understandable that Xia Deng feels inferior because he is not an earthling. Think about it, there is such a great father......" Xiaoying said this, but stopped and fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong, sister?" Adam asked.
"Adam, I have a secret in my heart, I have never told anyone else, you are the person I trust the most, let me tell you. Adam, I'm in love with the Archon, what should I do? ”
Only with an elegant gesture can the writing be perfect. It's the same with life: it's only after getting rid of all redundancy that one discovers simplicity and devotion: the simpler the posture, the more beautiful and elegant it is, even if it is very uncomfortable at first.
