Chapter 160: Escape
White Tang had a lot of doubts in his mind, but the city in front of him gave him confidence in the third boat.
This huge metropolis can prove that the third-party boat thousands of years ago operated very smoothly.
Perhaps during this time, the people on the Ark encountered some kind of crisis, which caused the entire city to be abandoned.
But at least it can prove that the information in the black box of the Arctic planet command center is authentic and reliable.
The third-party ship, a huge spaceship that carries the hope of the end of mankind, is already within reach.
……
They gather information on the deserted streets, and soon find some clues.
"October 27, 2807 in the federal calendar...... Susie compares this date to the date of the planetary control center:
"The time when the city was abandoned in the third boat should be five years after the start of the Shelter Project......"
"There is no mention of why the city was abandoned, but there is a signal to intervene that everyone is evacuated and immediately go to the rescue pod."
Lias came over with a map: "There's an emergency escape route up here, you see, here, here, here, there's an escape route in all of these places. ”
Susie checked the surroundings and clicked a location on the map: "We're here now, why don't we go to the nearest escape route?" ”
Everyone had no objections, and everyone followed the emergency escape route and soon came to an empty square.
"This ...... Is it an escape route? Cha Mo looked left and right, spread his hands and said, "Why is there nothing?" ”
"An escape route doesn't have to be an entity...... Passage. Susie said: "With the level of technology thousands of years ago, short-distance teleportation was a normal means of transportation. ”
She cleaned the dust from the ground: "Let's look for it, there should be an escape route sign on this square, and it should be in a very conspicuous place." ”
Lias pointed to the top of his head, "I think that thing should be conspicuous enough, what do you think?" ”
Everyone looked up together and saw the semi-circular transparent dome above the square, there were many vein-like lines on the dome, although the wind was howling around, but this transparent dome did not move, as if the wind had no effect on it.
"Uh, so how are we supposed to control it?" Chamo looked left and right, but didn't find anything resembling a console.
Catherine asked, "Are you sure that's the key?" Do you need me to go up and try it? ”
Her "Space Transport" skill allows her to teleport over short distances, which is too much distance for her.
Susie waved her hand: "Don't, that transparent dome is quite expensive at first glance, and I don't know if it can be repaired if it is broken." ”
She looked left and right: "Let's go around and look for it first, it stands to reason that the emergency escape route can't be without a guide." ”
Everyone looked around the square, and after cleaning up the dust, they did find some escape signs.
These signs surround the plaza, and it appears that the plaza itself should be part of an escape route.
"But how do you open this escape route?" The end of the tea was helplessly spinning in place, and she almost measured every floor tile in the square with her feet.
Susie was much more savvy, and she quickly found the center of the escape signs around her.
After coming to the center position, Susie stomped on the ground, trying to find something different, but when she stepped down, the floor tiles under her feet immediately lit up.
"Eh! What did you do? Look, the transparent cover on the head moves! Lias hurriedly shouted to the crowd.
"I may have accidentally activated the escape route." Susie stepped on the lit floor tile and said, "Why don't you go out first, I'll try to see how this escape system works." ”
Lias immediately decided: "Barr, tea powder, Catherine, you three go out, and Curla and I will follow Susie, so we can take care of you." ”
The three of them quickly retreated to the edge of the square, the other three covered by a huge transparent cover.
Then, the veins on the transparent cover also began to light up, and the light became brighter and brighter, and it didn't take long for the cover to be full of light, and even the human figure could not be seen.
Then, the light suddenly went out, as if abruptly stopped, and the three people in the transparent shroud disappeared with them, and they disappeared nowhere.
……
"Where have they been?" White Tang turned on the system screen and began to search for the trio.
Soon he saw three bewildered members on this level.
The escape route was indeed a teleportation array, and White Tang said to the adjutant, "Drive, let's go to the teleportation location and have a look." ”
The Cobra chariot quickly drove to where the trio were, which was also a square and only a few hundred meters away from the core hub.
"Mr. Tang, we ...... Teleported to the upper level. Lias said to White Tang, who climbed out of the car.
White Tang nodded: "Well, I know, I just looked around and found that there are many small squares like this at your feet around the core hub, and together there are estimated to be more than a dozen. ”
The crowd checked it, and it was exactly as he said.
"In other words, those escape routes on the lower floors are to send all the residents here?" Lias looked at the core hub in front of him, and suddenly realized:
"By the way, evacuate everyone and go to the escape pod! This was the last message received by all residents of the lower cities. ”
White Tang also said thoughtfully: "In this way, all the escape routes lead here, then the more than a dozen layers of the world from here on, are actually ...... An escape pod for a third-party boat? ”
Those dozen layers, each layer of hundreds of square kilometers of the huge world, together were just the escape pods of the third-party boat.
Everyone quickly figured out their thoughts, and Susie nodded and said, "That's right, this area is located at the very front of the third-party boat, and it is indeed suitable for use as an escape pod." ”
Lias was a little puzzled: "Why is there such a large escape pod, and it is concentrated at the very front, isn't it a very dangerous area?" ”
Susie explained, "If the third ship is a warship, then the escape pod should definitely not be placed in the bow of the ship. ”
"But judging from the current situation, the third party ship should be a transport ship, maybe even a refugee ship."
"So concentrating the escape pod at the front end, in case of a problem with the hull itself, it can be separated in time, and it can also maintain the original channel, which is a very ideal design."
Lias shouted from the side: "Don't worry about the escape pod yet, we climbed for a long time to reach the lower level, and now we have teleported back, should we climb again?" ”
