Chapter 249: Offense and Defense
Hou Dalin and Pan Dong woke up one after another, and they were not in a coma for a long time, but they were also in a coma for several hours. After getting used to it, they got to work. Commands from the ground could be received here, so while they were unconscious, Number Three did not stop his work.
But No. 3, also known as Martin, is just a bioengineering expert, and he is not very familiar with many things on the spacecraft. Therefore, his work efficiency is very slow, not to mention, some important parts, the ground does not dare to let him do it.
Now that Pan Dong and Hou Dalin have woken up, a large part of Ma Tian's work has been taken over by Pan Dong and Hou Dalin.
Pan Dong is a regular astronaut with long-term training, and the corresponding reserves and technical training are not comparable to Ma Tian. And Hou Dalin is even more powerful, this spaceship is basically designed by him, so many things that are not accurate on the ground are in his hands.
He directly asked Pan Dong to cooperate with him, and completely separated the hardware of the warehouse and isolation cabin equipment that had been separated from the software. That is, some control signal lines were directly removed from it. In this way, the Lily in the cockpit has great ability, and she can't control the equipment behind her.
This is a very delicate job that requires a good understanding of the equipment on the ship. And at this point, no one is stronger than Hou Dalin.
Together with Pan Dong, he checked them one by one, and then pulled out the relevant wires directly. Lily already knew what they were doing by this time, but he had no choice but to watch the ship's isolation pod and cargo compartment get out of his control little by little.
Of course, these two places were no longer under her control. It's just that this time it's more thorough, she originally planned, when they entered the hold, she even thought about using the method of opening the hatch, and then using the steering engine on the spaceship, to throw the three nasty ghosts out alive.
Now this method does not work, the control line of the cargo compartment cover has been pulled out by Hou Dalin, and the function of the control hatch cover has been directly transferred to the computer of the isolation cabin. The computer of the isolation module is originally separated from the control system of the entire spacecraft, and even its power supply is a separate solar panel battery pack.
Lili, who has no choice, is facing more problems than Hou Dalin at the moment, and the most direct impact is that the nutrient solution they need is not enough to keep them alive.
Originally, there was a nutrient solution in the Immortal Hall system, but if she couldn't open the hatch to the isolation chamber, she wouldn't be able to replenish it. No matter how much the Hall of Eternal Life system is configured, it will only be able to supply them for seven or eight months. If it's any longer, she'll have to go to the back cabin to find food.
Once they can't get to the back cabin, they can only starve to death.
Of course, before they were starved to death, it should have been Hou Dalin and the three of them who were the first to starve to death. Because they have less food, they can only last for four or five months, and it is impossible to last any longer.
But what Lily didn't know was that Hou Dalin was not a normal person. He got a lot of water this time, and as long as he had water, he didn't have to worry about starving to death, or even for fuel and air.
At least don't worry too much about it in a short period of time, this short time, in Hou Dalin's preparation, is about two years.
After physically disconnecting the cargo hold and the isolation cabin, Hou Dalin cooperated with Pan Dong Ma Tian to do two comprehensive tests to prove that there was no problem with their transformation, and then they took off the helmet on their spacesuits in the cabin with confidence.
You know, they haven't eaten or drunk for more than forty hours, and at this moment, they are really thirsty, tired and hungry! However, the equipment that heats the food is in the cockpit, and if they want to eat, they have to eat ice.
Can this still be difficult for Hou Dalin? He was fiddling in the warehouse for a while, and he didn't know where to dig out a microwave oven.
The food was heated, and the three of them had a good meal together.
Among the three people who were well fed and drunk, Ma Tian really couldn't hold on, he hadn't slept for a long time, and he had to rest at this time. Although Hou Dalin and Pan Dong slept during the time they were anesthetized, after all, they also needed to rest for a while after being busy for such a long time.
At this time, it was time for Hou Dalin to perform a personal miracle.
He took the two of you into the cargo hold, through the narrow gap in the cargo hold, and into the tail of the entire shuttle. Here, a metal partition separates the equipment compartment at the tail from the cargo compartment. In principle, this place is not allowed to be opened, but now that Hou Dalin has come, this principle does not exist.
He inserted a magnetic card into a card slot, then glanced at a camera, and then entered the password, and suddenly two handles popped out on the metal partition here.
Everyone looked at it strangely, and saw Hou Dalin unscrew the handle, and then walked in. As soon as his body entered, he didn't know what operation he had done, and then the two of them saw Hou Dalin's body fall one by one, standing firmly on the ground.
How can this be? This room seems to have gravity, which can firmly "suck" Hou Dalin's body.
"Come in, but beware, this room is a gravity room, and it has the same gravity here as it does on Earth. You have to get used to it slowly. ”
Pan Dong and Ma Tian looked curious, so they floated into this room, and unsurprisingly, both of them fell on their heels. But it doesn't matter, the important thing is that there is gravity here, not only does it make them feel more comfortable, but the place is more conducive to their health.
The room is not big, it can even be said to be cramped. But no matter how small, this place is the most amazing place in the world. The whole room is just over two meters wide and three meters long. It's a lap smaller than the smallest bedroom on earth.
It may simulate Earth-like gravity on a spaceship, and to be honest, this room must be the most expensive room in the world, not one of them.
There were two such rooms, and at the foot of the one they were in was the other one. When Hou Dalin was on the ground, he successfully got out the gravity floor technology of the previous life. Although because of the limited materials, only two small rooms were made, but such a room is no problem to meet the needs of two people to sleep.
It's a little squeezed, but it's in the sky, and this problem can be overcome.
The room was empty, there was nothing, except for a few large bags hanging on the wall. Not surprisingly, it's all for everyone to sleep in. Hou Dalin used a marker pen to write Ma Tian's name on a large bag, and the items in this bag will be used by Ma Tian in the future. When you wake up, you have to put it away, and you still have to hang it in the same place.
Ma Tian excitedly took off the package, then unzipped it to check the related items inside. There was an air mattress, which he had to blow up with his mouth and lay on the floor. When he woke up, he still needed to let go of his gas and put it back into the package.
Other than that, all that's left is pillows, quilts, and so on. Hou Dalin then wrote Pan Dong and his own names on the other two packages, which can be regarded as the distribution of the daily necessities here.
After arranging for Ma Tian to sleep, Hou Dalin took Pan Dong out of the door, and then floated to the room below.
This room is to be entered head-down, because the top of this room is the gravity floor that shares the room above.
The two men turned their heads, and then opened the door. Once inside, they don't feel like they're doing a handstand, but as long as they don't look outside, they don't feel any different here than they did in the room above.
In this room are some exercise equipment, there are treadmills, single cylinders, dumbbells and so on. It's just that the single cylinder here can only do pull-ups and other actions, after all, the space is limited.
Of course, there are actually one person sleeping here, but there are only three of them in total, so there is no need to occupy the exercise space here. After all, in the space environment, movement is still very important.
Pan Dong and Hou Dalin have been in the space environment for many days, in fact, they have just entered such a gravity room, and their bodies are not very comfortable. This is caused by a sudden increase in the weight of their body. However, with a certain amount of training, this can be overcome quickly.
Pan Dong was already exercising on the treadmill at this time. Hou Dalin didn't have the physique of a family, so at this time, he sat on the floor of this room, took out a computer, and started working.
The three of them had actually arranged a duty schedule, and Pan Dong and Ma Tian had to take turns on duty every day, and their sleep time was arranged for eight hours. The rest of the time, it's their duty time. And Hou Dalin is relatively free, and no one else can do his work, which is equivalent to saying that these two people are responsible for his duties.
It's just that so far, Hou Dalin doesn't plan to stop this Lily's action. Seriously, if Hou Dalin wants to seize power now, he can get Lily in minutes. But in this case, how can he go to Mars for a circle? There's no reason for it.
Instead of going back halfway, it would be better to follow this Lily all the way forward. And there is nothing to say on the ground, after all, in the face of the current environment, there is no way to change anyone.
Again, this is in space, and many of the methods used to be unusable are now unusable. They couldn't destroy this plane, and Hou Dalin's previous changes to the circuitry of this plane had already shocked the people on the ground into a cold sweat.
This thing is something you can change if you want to? Without argumentation and experimentation, you have changed it so boldly, if it weren't for Hou Dalin here, the people on the ground would not agree to this plan.
But Hou Dalin is Hou Dalin, and people have this self-confidence and ability. After the modification, the isolation cabin and cargo hold have not only become safer, but also have no bad impact on the entire spacecraft. The only bad thing is that if you want to open the hatch cover of the cargo compartment in the future, you can only line one to operate in the isolation cabin. However, this has little to do with it, and the impact is very limited.
Hou Dalin was not idle at this time, and arranged Ma Tian and Pan Dong, and there was also a Tang Jianping with him.
Fortunately, when he came up this time, he prepared two cyborgs in advance. At this time, Hou Dalin was making this preparation, pre-starting Tang Jianping's body first.
Hou Dalin was busy working here, and Pan Dong, who had nothing to do, stared curiously at the side. He also participated in this mission to learn such top-secret information, but he only knew it before, and this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
With the end of Hou Dalin's work, the inner tank he used to contain Tang Jianping's brain was directly stuffed into the head of the cyborg. Because of the extra liner, the cyborg's head is a bit bigger. But it doesn't matter, it's the same when you're used to it. Isn't it just a little ugly, this is also for higher security!
Tang Jianping, who had obtained his body, was stunned for a while when he heard the scene outside, and then began to cry.
But his body is cyborg, and there are no tears at all, so he can only howl like this! The miserable movement not only frightened the sleeping Ma Tian, but also stunned the people on the ground. Who would have thought that a time-tested warrior could cry so badly.
People have speculated about what this person has gone through to be wronged like this!
What Tang Jianping has experienced is unimaginable to outsiders. If you try to be locked up for a month, the average person can't last ten days and then go crazy. And what he experienced was ten times more terrible than confinement! He was able to survive and cry, and Hou Dalin felt that he was already a real iron warrior.
"Old Tang, in this state, you can survive, you can hold on and not go crazy, you are really an iron-clad man!" Others don't know, Hou Dalin is clear, he knows what this man has experienced.
When Tang Jianping's mood stabilized a little, Hou Dalin patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
"Da Lin, it's not like I haven't thought about dying. But I can't die, do you know how uncomfortable it is to beg for death? Tang Jianping touched a handful of tears that didn't exist at all and continued: "Later, I scolded people all day long, scolding that Lily, scolding this world, anyway, I think of something to scold!" Even you have been scolded by me for three days! ”
"Does it work?" Hou Dalin asked curiously.
"It works, it works very well. Scolding not only allows you to vent your emotions, but also keeps your consciousness awake. The most important thing is that scolding people in the consciousness field is not tiring at all. As long as you don't get bored, you can keep scolding, especially habitual! ”
The chat between Hou Dalin and Tang Jianping made Pan Dong and Ma Tian stunned when they heard it. Does this still encourage swearing? What the hell is this going on?
"Old Tang, what happened on Pangu No. 4?" Hou Dalin finally asked this question, which was the question he was most concerned about, and it was also the question that the people on the ground were most concerned about.
"Lily's memory is back, and now she's like she has a double personality, like a psychopath."
Tang Jianping said this in the first sentence, Hou Dalin already knew this, he had communicated with Lily, and he also got confirmation from Lily's mouth.
"There is another matter, which is even more serious than this, Da Lin, there is a problem with the Hall of Eternal Life, a big problem!" Tang Jianping's attitude suddenly became serious, which aroused Hou Dalin's interest.
"What's the problem?" The speech was on the ground, and it rang out through the loudspeakers throughout the cargo hold. What they are doing here, they are always watching on the ground.
"I found out through communication with Lily that some of the brains in the Hall of Eternal Life have been resurrected!"
"What! That's impossible! Hou Dalin and the voices on the ground sounded almost at the same time. No matter what they thought, they didn't think about this possibility.
Those brains have obviously lost consciousness, and they are only functionally alive. This is different from vegetative people, who still have one day to wake up, but it is impossible for the human brain, whose consciousness has dissipated, to form consciousness again.
"It's true, I once briefly connected with the Immortal Hall system, and at this time, in the Immortal Palace, at least two or more brains have been resurrected. Because of their resurrection, the current Immortal Palace system is very unstable, and it is because of this instability that I happened to meet two of them. At that time, Lily connected me to the Hall of Eternal Life because she wanted to dismantle the Yao Chi system and use it to restore the power of the Hall of Eternal Life. ”
Hou Dalin's eyes rolled a few times, and his mind was also thinking quickly. He spun around for a moment, then asked on the ground, "How's the situation with Pangu 4?" Can you get Number Four to check on the situation of the Yao Chi system as soon as possible? ”
"Pangu 4 is currently stable, all equipment is running well, we will transfer Pangu 4 for you immediately."
After speaking, a communication screen in the cargo hold flashed, and the picture on Pangu 4 appeared.
"Hahaha, One, you're still alive! It scared the hell out of me, you don't know, I thought you didn't care about us running away. ”
As soon as No. 2 saw Pan Dong, he immediately laughed out loud. He was really frightened at the time, he didn't know what the accident was, and Pangu 4 couldn't contact the ground, and couldn't contact the Shenlong, at that time, it was really as helpless as it was.
Fortunately, he is also a trained man, and after getting through the initial panic, he immediately threw himself into the operation of repairing the ship. It took less than a day for him to restore communication with the ground.
"How's it going over there?" Pan Dong introduced their current situation and asked about the situation on the second side.
"We are in good condition, but the supplies are a little small, only enough for us for half a month. The ship was in good condition throughout, and we still had the return capsule, so there were no problems. Let the rest be told by Four. ”
After saying that, No. 2 gave up the communication and handed over the introduction of other situations to a more professional person.
"Five, the Yaochi system is basically finished, but I found a very strange phenomenon, a brain in the Yaochi system, there is a very special biological signal, I don't know what this represents, so I thought about bringing it back to the ground for testing."
"No, you're going to experiment right away, there's a locked square in Pangea IV's 201 area, and you take apart the leather of the driver's seat, and there's a key hidden inside. There's a spare liner in there, and you've got to figure out how to put that reactive brain into that gut. ”
"Five, you mean? Impossible! "No. 4 is doing this, of course he knows what kind of experiment Hou Dalin wants him to do. It's not fun at all, and if that's the case, doesn't that mean that the dead man is back to life? Is there anything more terrifying than this for a person who is engaged in biological research?
Dead and back to life, this is a resurrection from the dead! This can be the biggest event in life science!
