Chapter 162: Stars
White Tang said, "Let's hope your kind doesn't become our enemy like Luna." ”
Saying that, he had come to the door, stretched out his hands and pushed the door, but the door did not move.
Several other people stepped forward and helped pull together for a long time, but the door still did not respond.
"Uh, should we use violence?" Listening to Lias's meaning, it seems that he is preparing to open the power armor and dismantle it.
White Tang shook his head: "There may be a lot of precision instruments inside the control center, and we don't know if we can repair it if it is broken." ”
He asked the adjutant, "Did you find a place where you could open the door?" Like an electronic lock or something? ”
The adjutant replied: "The entire 'Ark Navigation Control Center' is completely sealed, and it seems that it should be to ensure absolute safety during the voyage. ”
"The machine found a machine that swiped the access control card, just behind the gate, but this machine was not connected to the power supply, probably because the energy supply of the 'Ark Navigation Control Center' was cut off."
White Tang shook his head: "If it's a matter of energy supply, even if we tear down the door, it's useless, we have to think about the source." ”
Susie on the side asked: "Isn't the air circulation system on the upper level open, and there is also the teleportation square of the emergency escape system, and the internal energy of the third-party boat should be sufficient." ”
White Tang nodded, "Maybe there's a problem with the energy pathway, if only we could find the inspection equipment inside the third-party boat." ”
He turned back to the crowd and said, "Although we have found the third area that can control the flight of the third boat, it is clear that the energy supply in this area has been completely cut off. ”
"Now we have to go back to the upper floors and find new routes to other districts."
Now that the third sector is completely de-electric, there is no point in staying, and everyone is back on the "Cobra" chariot and returning the same way.
"You say, on such a large ark, it stands to reason that there should be a self-maintenance system, just like on the planet Dyson sphere."
Susie asked: "There is a maintenance platform on the Dyson sphere, if it weren't for the Planetary Control Center shutting down the maintenance platform, maybe people would still be running it well." ”
White Tang nodded and said, "Yes, when the third-party boat is evacuated urgently, it should not be enough to shut down the maintenance system." ”
"But it's also possible that the maintenance system will fail over the course of a millennium."
He sighed: "Now that the whole system has stopped working, even the base intelligence lieutenant can't find out what the problem is." ”
After an hour of back and forth, the "Cobra" tank came to another tunnel.
This tunnel reads "Passage No. 1, Sector 1 and Zone 2 Working Entrance." ”
"Zones 1 and 2!" Lias exclaimed, "The top-ranked regions should be more important, right?" ”
"This first and second districts will definitely find what we are looking for!" Susie screamed too.
Both of them were quite optimistic, and White Tang nodded: "Then let's start with this passage." ”
The "Cobra" chariot drove in this tunnel for more than half an hour and came to a fork in the road, one left and one right leading to the first and second districts respectively.
It was unanimously decided to go to the first district first, as the number one area should also be the most important.
The rest of the road was longer than they had expected, and the Cobra drove to its top speed and ran for a full two hours to reach the end of the tunnel.
The three big characters of "First District" are printed at the entrance of the passage, and through here, what is displayed in front of everyone's eyes is an extremely shocking scene.
In the center of a vast space, a sphere that emitted a golden glow hovered there.
The orb was outwardly very stable, occasionally emitting a more dazzling beam of light, but the light seemed to have weight, arcing and then falling back to the surface of the sphere.
"This ...... It's ......" Susie stammered in excitement, and the others were speechless in shock.
White Tang held back the shiver all over his body, calmed his mood and said, "That's right, this is a star, a star that is undergoing a thermonuclear reaction. ”
He had also guessed before what the power source of the third-party boat was, maybe it was the vacuum energy core, maybe it was the annihilation energy core.
However, what White Tang didn't expect was that this huge spaceship actually contained a real star in it.
The third-party ship also uses the energy of this star to drive the entire spacecraft.
The intelligent adjutant of the base didn't speak for a long time, and finally a sentence came out: "The secret on the third-party boat is beyond the scope of the machine's understanding." ”
It turned out that the first area was the energy core area of the third-party boat, and looking at the "little sun" glowing overhead, everyone was concerned.
White Tang and Susie were the first to walk under the Little Sun, which had a metal spire hundreds of meters high.
There were some lit devices at the base of the spire, and White Tang immediately took out the communicator and plugged the data cable into the device.
"Adjutant, report the situation." As soon as the communicator is activated, the base intelligence lieutenant will be able to connect to these devices.
The base intelligence lieutenant examined it for a moment and said, "This is a miniature star that the third-party ship has tethered here by using a gravity well. ”
"The gravity well ensures that the star can burn steadily and for a long time, and the light and heat it provides are converted into a stable energy source by the gravity well."
"Stars can supply energy to the entire Ark for a long time, and from the data point of view, it is not a problem to continue to supply energy for a billion years."
"The entire First Zone was built for this star, and there is a complete system of energy absorption, conversion and distribution."
"Judging from the feedback from this set of equipment, at least in the first area, the whole system is intact."
"How is it that other districts, such as District 3, don't have access to energy?" Did something go wrong halfway? ”
The adjutant of ground-based intelligence replied: "The system in the first area is a closed loop, and all operating systems are fixed to the base parts, completely isolated from the outside world. ”
"The machine can only get information about the first sector from here, and it is impossible to know what is going on outside."
White Tang looked up at the "little sun" again: "Anyway, the energy core of the third-party boat is still intact, and this is the biggest good news. ”
"As long as we ensure that this star continues to supply energy to third-party ships, then no matter how big the follow-up problems are, we can find a way to solve them."
He turned back to the crowd and said, "The first area is well preserved, and the core energy of the third-party boat is safe, so we will continue to go to other areas for inspection." ”
