Chapter 209: Dormant Dreams
After jumping from the top of the temple, there was a steep slope, and Shu Yungui's back was clinging to the wall, all the way down, and this section took longer than when he fell from the building.
There was a burning sensation on his back because of the violent friction, Shu Yungui took out a flashlight from his bag while stabilizing his body, and the flashlight lit up with a "snap", and a beam of light lit up in the dark space where he couldn't see his fingers, although it was particularly weak compared to the huge temple space, but it finally gave the two people who were in free fall a target point.
Cornelies, below, struggled to raise her head, looked at the beam of light coming from behind her, and smiled softly, the flashlight light that had been misted by the water had a grinding effect, and her face was covered with a soft raw edge.
Shu Yungui once again regretted why he didn't bring camera equipment here, and the photo of Corneerys with this appearance would definitely win the grand prize in the portrait category.
Cornelies, however, only looked at him for a moment, then turned back and fell to the ground with her legs bent.
The place where they jumped down happened to be facing the gate of the temple, Shu Yungui glanced around with a flashlight, the huge and towering immigration spaceship was hidden deep in the depths of the temple, and the place where they landed was the altar of the temple of the ancient king city.
Shu Yungui climbed up and took a look, there were still remnants of incense ashes and unknown sacrificial remains, obviously during the period of the Ancient King City, the people of the Ninth Star had indeed regarded the human technology of the immigration spaceship as a symbol of the divine power of the monarch.
While it is true that worshipping a superstitious spaceship may sound outrageous now, theology is a very demagogic thing, and once people believe it, it is very difficult to pull it out of their minds.
Once the idea of linking the emigration ship to the divine authority of the monarch spreads, the number of believers will soon increase exponentially.
Just looking at the number of sacrificial remains on the altar, one can imagine the great occasion of the era when mankind was very popular with the immigrant spaceship.
And this is likely to be the secret weapon used by the first queen to dominate the ninth star.
The most important thing to rule the people is to rule the hearts of the people, and there have been many rulers who have understood this truth since ancient times, but not many can really do this.
At least not the current rulers of the Hope Field.
They walked around the altar and into the depths, and although the other buildings in the royal city had collapsed due to the earthquake, the temple was still strong, guarding the migrant ships unharmed by the earthquake.
If there were still faithful people who believed in spaceships, they would probably shout a few more words of divine protection.
But atheists like Shu Yungui will only think that this is just a coincidence of nature.
The spaceship itself was behind the altar, and there should have been a painted veil between the spaceship and the altar, but it had rotted out by the years, and it had become a puddle of black mud and fell to the ground, and I felt sticky when I stepped on it.
Shu Yungui used the flashlight to scan from the bottom to the top, the light of the flashlight could not even shine through the height of the spaceship's tail flame ejector, Rao is a tall man like Shu Yungui, standing in front of the spaceship, is also like a grain of sand in front of the vast sea of smoke.
At this time, Shu Yungui understood the insignificance of human beings, even if he was a third-order mutant who caused a sensation in the entire Hope Star Field, even if he had too many titles to count, but in front of such a behemoth that could carry tens of millions of people and carry hundreds of millions of gene pools, it was still so insignificant.
"Do you want to go in?"
Shu Yungui turned his head and asked Cornelis.
"You're all here, and you'd love to go in and have a look, right?"
Corneerys pointed to the ship's hydraulic door and said, "We need to climb up there first."
This is where the importance of Harvey's backpack becomes apparent, as he has been carrying all the important items with him since the vehicle was damaged, in order to get the bounty team members to voluntarily follow him.
But it turns out that people who have too many eyes in their hearts can harm themselves.
Shu Yungui took out the mountaineering rope and tied it to his waist, and said to Cornelies, "I'll go up with the rope first, and then you can climb up along the rope after I'm fixed."
He slipped the flashlight into Cornelies' hand and moved himself like an ape
Generally climbed up.
Something of this size such as an immigrant ship has an infinite number of entrances and exits, and the one they climb closest to the Tail Flame Launcher is the best of all the entrances and exits.
It took more than an hour to climb up from the ground with his bare hands, and Shu Yungui raised his hand to wipe the sweat beads from the corner of his forehead while climbing the handrail of the staircase used for spacewalking, and when he looked down, the light from Corneerys and the flashlight had turned into a tiny point of light.
The hydraulic door is very tightly sealed, this kind of door can cope with extreme storms in space, can resist the impact of asteroid debris, and isolate cosmic radiation.
If the Ninth Star still has the ability to repair the spaceship, Shu Yungui will definitely smash this door with a "thousand powers", but considering the actual situation of the Ninth Star, he still wants to keep the spaceship intact as much as possible for the Ninth Star.
He patiently groped for a long time, and finally found the external switch next to the hydraulic door, but this kind of switch needs to use special equipment to rotate at high speed to unscrew, and I don't know how long and what month it will be screwed by manpower.
Shu Yungui tried to turn around twice, but decided to let Cornelys come up first, after all, this was her task, and there was no reason to let Shu Yungui work here alone.
He pulled the rope, and soon Cornelies, using her talent for climbing trees and walls, quickly climbed up.
The two were crammed into the narrow handrails of the spacewalk, each standing on only one foot, and a little more movement would put one person at risk of falling.
Cornelies, who was close to Shu Yungui, was almost close to each other, Shu Yungui was much taller than Cornelies, and when he looked down, he could see the long golden curls on his chest.
"Go over there! Let me see inside!"
Corneli squeezed in front of him unceremoniously, the girl was slender and didn't need too much space, but Shu Yungui still stretched out his hand and blocked her outside to prevent her from falling.
Corneerys leaned over the human-tall window made of a huge transparent material and peered in, the first time in her life that she had seen such a high-tech product with her own eyes, and she couldn't understand what it was for.
"What are those rounded boxes?"
Shu Yungui's gaze was higher than Cornelis's, even if he stood beside her, he glanced at it and said, "Cryo-dormant pod, when the immigration spacecraft does not land for a long time, the ship's master will force everyone to go into hibernation to prevent a large-scale natural death of the human population on board."
Corneerys didn't quite understand and asked, "Can you come back to life after freezing?"
"Freezing is just a metaphorical word, not to really freeze the human body, but to use the intelligent brain to slow down the renewal of human body cells, minimize the physical consumption of human beings, and greatly prolong the survival time of human beings until the spaceship can land in a new settlement place."
This kind of science and technology was too advanced for Cornelies, who had no science education at all, and she exclaimed in amazement and asked, "Doesn't the ship need to be piloted by humans?" Why are there so many hibernation pods?"
Shu Yungui patiently explained: "No, as early as the ancient earth period, human aircraft can already rely on the intelligent master brain to achieve an unmanned state, and the flight control ability of the intelligent master brain is more accurate than that of humans, they can not only control the flight, but also control the air content in the migrant spacecraft, reasonably allocate the spacecraft resources, and remind humans to enter a dormant state in time when necessary."
"When the intelligent master brain discovers the planet during the voyage, it will hover the spacecraft and release the drone to conduct environmental sampling to analyze whether the planetary environment is suitable for human habitation, if it is suitable, it will wake up some humans to carry out initial exploration, if not, it will control the spacecraft to continue sailing until it finds a new home."
Corneerys listened thoughtfully for a long time before asking, "What if you haven't found a habitable planet?"
Shu Yungui glanced down at her, as if thinking about the wording to answer her question, but found that there was no other euphemistic answer to this question.
"Then this immigration ship will become the grave of all immigrants."
In order to comfort Cornelies, he quickly added, "But don't worry too much, by that time, the humans on the ship will have already entered a deep dormant state, and they will not have any sense of the outside world, nor will they have any fear of their own death."
"When the ship's power core is depleted and the solar panels can no longer keep the intelligent mastermind running, the final command of the intelligent mastermind is to let all the passengers die without pain."
Cornelies' eyes trembled as she looked at him, and she didn't speak for a long time.
"Don't be afraid, humans have a 50% chance of dying on any voyage, and of all artificial flying machines, the intelligent mastermind is the mildest, and it will give sleepers a sweet dream based on brain waves, and they will still sleep in the sweet dream until their life is gone."
Perhaps it was Shu Yungui's comfort that played a role, Cornelies's face finally softened, she looked inside the spaceship again, and asked, "Do you know where to place the power core?"
The Zero-3 immigration spacecraft on the Hope field has long been solved by the first generation of immigrants. Physically, Shu Yungui has never seen the appearance of the immigration spaceship with his own eyes, he has only seen its restored hologram in textbooks, and remembers that the power core is placed in the center of the spacecraft.
"We might have to go in again."
Shu Yungui grabbed Cornelys with one hand to prevent her from falling, and quickly pushed forward from the side with the other, the pressure of dozens of tons of hydraulic door was vulnerable under the "force", and the immigration spaceship that had been sealed for thousands of years was finally unveiled in front of the two.
