Chapter 23: 0.36 seconds
Regular morning meeting, in progress.
This was the first regular meeting of the 5566-7 star detachment after the first day of official control of the starship.
At this moment, the captain on duty, Neng Yuanhao, had just finished speaking about the core content of the meeting, and was standing in front of the huge holographic screen in the starship command center with other members of the detachment, listening to Cao Lingzhong's report on the impact and damage of the starship.
"Report to the captain, according to the assessment of the impact report: the most serious damage is concentrated in Area A. Among them, the hull modules with seven serial numbers 5566-28, -98, -168, -238, -308, -378, and -448 were the most severely damaged. ”
"Can you clearly explain why these five serial number areas are the most damaged?" Neng Yuanhao asked puzzled.
"Report to the captain, based on the assessment of the impact report, the five areas that were most damaged may have some correlation with the serial numbers of the areas in which they are located."
"Please be specific, what is the correlation between the serial numbers of these five zones?" Neng Yuanhao asked puzzled.
"Report to the captain, according to the evaluation of the impact report, the sequence number arrangement of the above five areas is: 28 is 4 times that of 7, 98 is 14 times that of 7, 168 is 24 times that of 7, 238 is 34 times that of 7, 308 is 44 times that of 7, and so on." Cao Lingzhong immediately replied.
That is, these impacts are not disorderly and chaotic? Rather, it is the continuous impact of these five ordered progressive multiples with 7s? ”
"Report to the captain, that's exactly what happened."
"Then please tell me: What is the actual damage to these five areas?" Noh Won-ho continued to ask.
"Report to the captain, the above seven serial number modules 5566-28, -98, -168, -238, -308, -378, and -448 have been seriously damaged, have lost all braking functions, and can no longer be repaired and reorganized with any other modules of the starship." Cao Lingzhong replied.
"So, what is the status of the remnants of the damaged module?" Noh Won-ho continued to ask.
"Report to the captain, the damaged modules have all been dismantled, the remaining modules have all been compressed, and have been placed in the raw material compartment for backup." Cao Lingzhong replied.
"So, what is the current state of operation in the area where the damaged module is located?" Noh Won-ho continued to ask.
"Report to the Captain, after the removal of all remaining modules in the damaged module area, the original space has been merged with other serial number modules, and has been linked to a short corridor. The corridor provides quick access to the seventh control area for the chief control personnel. Cao Lingzhong replied.
"Seventh Command?" Neng Yuanhao was stunned.
Don't?
Before the starship officially set sail, the seventh control area used to be the R&D office area where he had been working for a long time. He must have worked in Region 7 for at least seven years, right? But now, no one is allowed to enter that area without receiving instructions from the central superbrain.
That area is now a forbidden area for the Rubik's Cube starship.
And what about Cao Lingzhong, who was so stunned when he saw Neng Yuanhao?
He immediately responded loudly: "Report to the captain, if our 5566-7 interstellar detachment has not been woken up in advance by the Central Superbrain this time. Then, it will be seven years before we will be automatically awakened as originally planned, and then we will enter the Seventh Control Area to carry out our first special research work.
"I see." When Neng Yuanhao heard this, he immediately retracted his momentary distraction just now, "Now I need to know the repair status of the damaged area." He immediately asked.
"Report to the captain, other damage reports of the Rubik's Cube starship, as well as the repair and reorganization report of the 5566-2-3-4-5-6 serial number detachment, have been reviewed and correct, and there are no anomalies. The starship is operating without any abnormality, and the report is complete. Cao Lingzhong immediately responded.
"I see, I'll take the time to go through your review report again later. Thank you? Neng Yuanhao gave a clear reply to his work, and then looked at An Qi, who was in charge of the ship's military supplies, and then continued to ask questions.
"I would like to understand: how much material damage was caused by the impact?"
"Report to the captain, according to the transfer data, the ship-borne compartments in the seven impact zones of 5566-28, -98, -168, -238, -308, -378, and -448 have all fallen off, and all the shipboard materials have been lost." Anqi immediately reported the truth.
"All the ship's supplies in the damaged area have fallen off? Lost all? Neng Yuanhao was stunned.
"Report to the captain, according to the scanning data given by the Central Superbrain, the starship did indeed have a partial loss of onboard materials during the impact." Angel continued to answer.
"Please tell me, are the ship-based compartments in the adjacent areas around the damaged area also affected by the impact?"
"Report to the captain of the ship, some of the ship's cabins in the adjacent area were also damaged to varying degrees in the impact. It's been repaired, but..."Speaking of this, Anqi paused.
"But what?" Noh Won-ho asked.
"Report to the captain, I need to make a temporary request to you, please open a temporary permission for me." Anqi immediately put forward the work demand.
"Temporary permissions? Why? Neng Yuanhao immediately asked.
"Report to the captain, please issue an authorized instruction to the Central Superbrain to temporarily open the scanning, searching, and deployment mobile functions of the remote mobile device for me, and I will conduct an inventory of the materials on the whole ship as soon as possible, and deploy the relocation and resettlement plan of the damaged materials in a timely manner." Anqi made a job application loudly.
"I see." Neng Yuanhao smiled and nodded, "Very good, your application is timely and important, I agree." ”
"Report to the captain, I also have this application need, and I also need to take stock of the animal dormancy area I am in charge of again..."Kang Yingjun immediately made the same application.
"Report to the captain, and my ......" Cheng Qing also raised his hand.
"Well, now that the starship has been damaged in the impact, it is time to carry out a full range of ship-wide scanning and inventory. Now, I will temporarily authorize everyone to equip your remote mobile devices with clairvoyance, and assist you in quickly completing the ship-wide scanning, searching, and inventory transfer of the modules in your respective charges. ”
"Thank you, Captain!" An Qi and others responded in unison.
"After more than 300 impacts, the extent of the damage to the starship is not a problem that can be explained by an assessment of the data. It is indeed necessary for us to carry out a carpet search and inspection of the entire ship. He Qianqian also nodded in response.
"In this case, please raise your wrists, please open the remote authorization interface of your own multi-person responsibility first, and please operate this authorization according to the one-time authorization key I read out." Neng Yuanhao looked at everyone and issued a unified authorization instruction.
"Central Superbrain, the first authorization key is ......"
"Central Superbrain, the second authorization key is ......"
"Central Superbrain, the third authorization key is ......" Neng Yuanhao issued seven keys to the Central Superbrain in a row, and these keys are the core passwords of the regional blocks in charge of the six professional blocks. In other words, Neng Yuanhao only needs to authorize six people, how can he issue seven keys?
This is not surprising.
This is because after Neng Yuanhao authorized the other six people to open the scanning, search, and moving functions of their respective modules, he also made a temporary authorization for everyone to connect the whole ship in series.
In other words, during the temporary authorization period, everyone can either work independently or in tandem with the team. Seven keys, seven temporary authorizations, and finally a start and end time for authorization.
At this time, Neng Yuanhao glanced at the time on the display screen, and issued a "at this moment" authorization and effective instruction to the central superbrain, and the members of the 5566-7 detachment immediately set their own brainwave key, and also confirmed the authorization and effective instruction of "at this moment" synchronously with the central superbrain.
In other words, the temporary authorization has been confirmed and has already begun to take effect.
The last link is that Neng Yuanhao issued a second command to the Central Superbrain, and he wants to confirm the time when the authorization ends. He plans to use "7 days" as the end time for this authorization, and all members of 5566-7 are prepared to set up the brainwave key, ready to synchronize with the central ultrabrain to "confirm" the end time of the authorization task.
That's when the unexpected happened.
From the deep-sky star of the Chewing Gumnea Nebula covered in the remains of the Priori supernova, a short burst of gamma rays suddenly erupted, suddenly hitting the edge of the solar system. And from the appearance to the end of this gamma-ray short burst, it is only 0.03 seconds of earth time!
Yes, just 0.36 seconds.
After 0.36 seconds, the Rubik's Cube lost all contact with Earth.
0.36 seconds.
This is the time recorded by the central ultrabrain.
In other words, this gamma-ray burst ejected from the deep-sky star only had a 0.36 second from its appearance to its disappearance. However, the powerful jet generated by this 0.36 second moment has already torn a cosmic rift in the extraterrestrial space at the edge of the solar system.
0.36 seconds.
In this 0.36 second flash moment, the Rubik's Cube starship was instantly pulled by a powerful gravitational wave, and instantly deviated from its original course, and instantly fell into a torn cosmic space-time rift, and disappeared from the edge of the solar system in an instant.
0.36 seconds.
How fast is a flash of 0.36 seconds?
It was just the blink of an eye, so fast that even the wrists of the interstellar members of 5566-7 had just been raised and were about to enter the end time of the temporary authorization. It was so fast that even An Qi, who had a strong sixth sense, just shouted: "Captain..."
Then, everyone felt that they were being pulled by a strong gravitational force, and they didn't even have time to exclaim, they only felt that their eyes suddenly darkened, and then suddenly brightened.
There was no tearing, no twisting, not even the geometric spiral swirls that I imagined should have appeared. Everyone didn't even have time to blink their eyes.
Then, in this extremely brief moment, suddenly darkness and light, the Rubik's Cube starship appeared in a strange star field.
Yes, a strange star field.
