Cole Harbour Prison is a medium-sized men's prison converted from a kilometre-class integrated transport vessel.

It has a permanent simulated gravity field, hundreds of cells spread over six floors, equipped with recreation rooms, video rooms, rest areas, libraries, gyms and other facilities.

As part of the Interstellar Tribunal, the prison occasionally accommodates exiled political prisoners, and the spacious single rooms on the top floors are reserved for them.

Cole Harbour locals are housed in two middle floors, usually in two- or three-bed rooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom.

The bottom three floors are crowded and chaotic, and are filled with some vicious criminals in exile, and the number of prisoners is seriously exceeded.

Occasionally, you can find some evil star pirates here, you can also find some serial murderers who are locked up at the bottom and are always shackled, and you can also see some inhuman but humanoid cosmic life. - Those who are not human, will not be accepted here.

For the guards on the lower three floors, working at Cole Harbour Prison is not an easy task.

And the problems they are most afraid of encountering, like now:

There was a sudden commotion on the fifth floor of the prison, and these energetic prisoners, who had no catharsis, shook the bars of their cages frantically, let out a strange cry in their mouths, and put their fingers that they didn't know where they had just been detained, and whistled.

The guards with guns quickly gathered and ran in the direction the prisoners were facing.

Piercing sirens rang out in all corners of the fifth floor.

Guards with paralyzing batons poured in from all over the place, yelling at the prisoners to be quiet, and when the guards ran to the scene of the incident, they couldn't keep their composure.

Soon, the guards brought in the deputy warden and the warden of the lower three floors, Gulipa.

Gulipa was an old gentleman in a tuxedo and holding a civilized stick, his hairline had receded to the top of his head, and his gray-white hair was slightly messy, but when he limped out, the prisoners quickly fell silent, completely devoid of the mania they had just had.

"Inspector, this is it."

Gulipa lifted her monocle and looked at the cell in front of her with a frown.

Behind thirty-two alloy metal rods spaced twelve centimeters apart, six strong men lay in the gloomy light and shadow.

They were arranged in an oval, their twelve arms dislocated, and each of them had their mouths filled with the toes of the previous one, like a strange devouring snake.

"Don't mess with them," Gulipa frowned, "go outside and get a professional orthopedic surgeon." ”

Several guards hurried away.

Gulipa looked at the strange young man reading quietly in the corner, and his brow furrowed.

The young man had a standard Sherman look, with a broad forehead, smooth cheekbones, a straight nose, and slightly inverted eye sockets, all of which were features of the Sherman's face.

"You did it?" Gulipa asked in a deep voice.

Yang Wei put down the book in his hand: "They said that they wanted to perform a new style of wrestling for me, a newcomer, which is said to be your local custom, and then that's it." ”

"Really?"

Gulipa glanced at the six strong men lying on the ground, and then turned his head to look at the guards who sent Yang Wei in.

One of the guards bowed his head and whispered something in Gulpa's ear.

Gulipa's eyes were a little more playful: "How did you do it?" Imperial soldiers. ”

"I've had the most rigorous martial arts training."

Yang Wei admitted that the shot just now did not expose the strength beyond normal people, and these six strong men were all knocked down by him with skills.

The real cheating is his reaction speed that makes 'time seem to slow down'.

"I need to put you in confinement for the time being," Gulipa said, "that's the rule here. ”

Yang Wei asked, "Can I bring these books with me?" ”

"Of course, our prison is managed in the most human way," Gullipa laughs, "and if you can read in that claustrophobic environment, that's a good skill." ”

Yang Wei stood up, a large number of guards raised their laser guns at the same time, and he walked to the corner without changing his face, and took the dusted books about the customs and customs of Cole Harbor and the jurisprudence of the International Tribunal.

As they walked past the six strong men, the six completely immobile creatures twitched, their eyes full of horror, and their mouths whined.

Yang Wei showed a kind smile, handed the book to the guard, took the initiative to stretch out his hands, and was handcuffed and shackled under the care of the muzzle of the laser gun.

A guard on the side suddenly stepped out and slammed Yang Wei on the neck with a baton.

Yang Wei frowned slightly, and his body responded almost reflexively, shortening, tilting his head, shaking his shoulders, and stepping back...... The baton ran across Yang Wei's shoulders, and Yang Wei's hands had already pushed in front of the guard's neck.

Yang Wei didn't really hit the other party's neck, his fingers were still two or three centimeters away from the guard's neck, but the latter didn't dare to move, and his breathing was a little laborious.

A few seconds later, the sound of a laser gun opening the safety was heard around the area.

"Stop!"

Gulipa frowned and scolded: "Isn't it shameful enough!" Bastards! Let you strengthen your training on a regular basis, and you will know that you can cope with things! ”

Before Yang Wei withdrew his palm, he also patted the guard's throat and said with a smile: "I am an active officer of the Sherman Empire, you can target me personally, but please don't provoke the dignity of the empire." ”

"Yes, yes sir," the guard whispered.

Yang Wei didn't say anything more, this kind of thing is best to stop at once.

And the guards around him looked at him with a little more fear.

Gulipa's eyes flickered, and he said indifferently: "Send him to the third confinement room, seventy-two hours, and ...... Meals and fresh water are served as normal. ”

Yang Wei squinted and smiled.

The name of the strongest empire in the galaxy is really easy to use.

……

The confinement room was a narrow room of six square meters, and the conditions were not as bad as Yang Wei thought.

The most difficult level here is actually seventy-two hours of hunger, but the prison chief Gu Lipa took care of it, which made Yang Wei much more comfortable.

Transforming people needs more nutrition.

The six metal walls emitted a milky white glow, and there was nothing else here but the metal walls.

Yang Wei made a simple cushion with military pants and coats, wearing only a small vest and boxers, and opened the travel book that introduced the customs and customs of Cole Harbour.

Soon, he found several partial maps of Cole Harbour and imprinted this information into his mind.

Yang Wei didn't know if it was because Hanton was so smart when he was a child, or if the Valkyrie gene fluid was also strengthening his brain, and he seemed to have the ability to never forget.

That's good, at least not a bad thing.

A few hours later.

After eating a simple lunch, Yang Wei made a small pillow with these books after reading, lay there comfortably, and began to think about the road ahead.

When he was on a research ship, he didn't have a chance to think about it at all.

Yang Wei hates some grand propositions, such as saving the world and saving the earth.

That's not something he can do alone.

However, Yang Wei felt that if he had the ability, he should save his family, his parents had worked hard for most of their lives, and they had not had time to enjoy life; And his high school sister, who has a bad personality and always steals his snacks and steals his toothbrush to brush his shoes......

'Brother, how much bride price will you have to spend in the future to marry a sister-in-law as beautiful as me!' Oh roar! ’

The memories of the dead suddenly began to attack the brain, making Yang Wei's whole person not feel good.

Whether you can save her or not, let's talk about it.

Yang Wei briefly summarized all the questions, and finally put forward three questions for himself:

(1) Why did he come to this world, and who sent him to this world.

(2) What is the significance of his coming here, or what can he do?

and (3) what benefits he can gain from the information he knows.

The first question, according to the current effective information, Yang Wei can't answer it at all.

No matter how you look at it, this has nothing to do with science, it has nothing to do with metaphysics, and it is actually a scientific problem.

The second question, Yang Wei can now answer half of it.

If, thirty years from now, Earth players appear en masse, no matter which way they appear, they must find a way to tell them that the game "Abyss" is not just a game, and that humans are a universal species in the galaxy.

It is very likely that it is an exam given by the higher civilization to the civilization of the earth, and if the exam cannot be passed, the final result will be the destruction of the earth by the Ninth Scourge Legion.

Although there are still too many mysteries in this;

But according to the available information and combined with his own experience, Yang Wei had to associate the plot of the 'Ninth Natural Disaster' after the operation of "The Abyss" for five years with the destruction of the earth.

Yes, Yang Wei felt that the first thing he could do was to live past thirty years and report to his civilization.

[Minks Harbor].

The name of the place suddenly popped into mind.

According to the player's point of view, under the guidance of an alien civilization, the human beings on Earth are engaged in technology in the cutscenes, filling in the technology tree in the character dialogue, and stepping into the interstellar civilization at the speed of light.

Minks Harbor is the first stop for players after 30 years of stepping out of the earth.

Players will choose their own camp in Minks Harbor, determine their own development direction, take the spaceship license, professional instrument operation license, and more.

Yang Wei felt that if he could find Minks Harbor, it would be possible to discover Earth in advance.

"Ding Dong," Yang Wei muttered to himself in the bottom of his heart, "Unlock the main quest one: find Minks Harbor." ”

It's a damn ritual.

The third question is much more complicated.

Yang Wei carefully recalled the game events that impressed him, as well as the rich historical background of "The Abyss".

To be honest, he rarely pays attention to the plot of the game when he plays the game, which leads to his only vague impression of many major events now.

And it's still thirty years before the game was launched.

"Huh?"

Yang Wei suddenly remembered a very interesting thing.

Twilight.

Two or three years ago, three years after the opening of the Abyss, Yang Wei watched an interview with a player who became a billionaire by playing games.

The player discovers a hidden planet in The Abyss, gains de facto control of a city called 'Robot Twilight', and gains billions of dollars by selling control to the syndicate behind the large legion.

During that interview, the player revealed a lot of details about how he piloted the mine ship into the dust belt, how he entered the whirlpool, and how he picked up the control key.

Even, the Chosen One also gave a first-person shot, returning to that star field in the "Abyss" game and reenacting a journey of exploration.

Yang Wei was extremely envious of this player.

And now......

'I'm sorry for the Chosen One. ’

Yang Wei smiled weakly, and then forgave himself cheekily.

Oh yes, and most importantly.

You need enough gene stabilizing agents or gene suppressors.

In "The Abyss", the main reason why the transformed warrior must have krypton gold is to continue to buy gene stabilizers or gene suppression fluids, otherwise the modified warrior will lose his combat power, and he will also have long hair and swollen muscles......

And that's just the punishment mechanics in the game, and the cost of losing control of the player's genes is negligible.

And now, if Yang Wei does not take genetically stable drugs for a long time, the result may be the fate of Ji Ge in "The Lost Voice" - lose his mind, become a sarcoma monster, and become the next ancient god lifeform.

At this point, Yang Wei made a brief summary.

At present, the most urgent task is to find a stable channel for gene stabilization drugs, and it is necessary to get a new stabilization solution before the gene stabilization solution in your body fails.

The follow-up milestone is to find the port of Minsk and the robot Twilight.

In order to achieve these two goals, the props that Yang Wei needs most now are......

A ship that can jump. Note: Autopilot is preferred.

It's not easy.

……

Three days flew by.

Yang Wei ate, slept, and ate, and felt that he had gained a lot of weight.

Several heavily armed guards took Yang Wei to a clean four-person room, where a fat man and an old man lived, both of whom seemed to be relatively easy to get along with.

Yang Wei briefly introduced himself, shook hands with the two of them, and closed his eyes on the hard bed with a simple mattress and pretended to sleep.

The two roommates were very knowledgeable and nervous.

Naturally, they heard the 'passion' story between the newly arrived Sherman Empire soldier and the six big men, so they moved their respective beds to the corner, kept a safe distance from Yang Wei, and gave Yang Wei enough space.

Yang Wei originally wanted to ask them about the basic situation of the prison and the precautions for escaping, but now it seems that they still need a certain amount of time to get along with each other.

There were also a few books on the simple bookshelf in the corner, and Yang Wei began to read with great interest.

The text inside is the lingua franca of the galaxy, which is similar to the text of the Sherman Empire, and Yang Wei is still a little difficult to read at first.

Da, da, da.

The sound of the continuous collision between the soft leather heel and the metal ground drove away Yang Wei's concentration.

"0639, Hanton."

Near lunch, Prison Chief Gulipa, who was holding a square piece of glass, appeared at the door of the cell and said in an elegant tone:

"Meeting Room Twelve, your boss is waiting for you."
