Chapter 148: Deep Memories (8)
It's an ocean of light.
If you exclude the spiritual pollution on the radio, and the floating corpses in space, this is a rare beauty in the world.
Looking here, the white bone spurs are like endless mountains, traversing the stars, and there are complex ravines on the bone spurs, which are like a piece of beautifully carved Hetian jade under the backdrop of light, which is very beautiful.
A huge black disc floats underneath Hetian Jade, the disc is pitch black throughout, and the bare exterior structure gives it a rough beauty.
This beauty comes from the precision of industrial design, and such a large, structurally complex building is superfluous without a single point of decoration.
Unlike civilian decoration, which is designed for design's sake, metaphysical decorative structures, military facilities have only triangles and squares, and everything serves the purpose of the machine.
Heavy nuclear fusion.
Abbreviated as burnt stone.
Locking more than 200 million temperatures in the center of the disk, and using the matter that can be seen everywhere in the universe to carry out fusion reactions, this relatively primitive technology is the most reliable in the case of the failure of the antimatter engine and the suspension of the space transition engine.
The products of heavy nuclear fusion are collected and turned into working fluids that propel the spacecraft forward, so the engines and propulsion of the engines are linked together to ensure the stability of the voyage.
Even now...... The Sky was left with only one low-Earth orbit engine, followed by a small piece of the broken hull, and it could still drive to the edge of the universe.
Of course, this universe is only three light-years away, and without the technology to travel across the universe, no one can get out.
Ning Yuan closed his eyes, his mind chaotic.
He was actually scared.
Because he didn't actually have any tricks, he couldn't find any way out after the space jump engine exploded.
Three light-years away, there is another three-light-year.
This universe is like a MΓΆbius ring, no, a Klein bottle, end-to-end, endless, and the only thing that can be found outside the Oort meteorite belt is a few comets with their tails wagging their tails.
These comets are also strictly designed to avoid flying out of the universe and then fly back from the other end for humans to see, igniting the desire to explore deep space.
Human beings on the earth are forever locked in the cradle and cannot raise their heads.
Because if you look up, you are the ancient gods.
Now, he's going to make a deal with the Old Gods.
Because apart from the ancient gods, he couldn't think of any other power that could cross the universe.
All he needed was a needle.
A needle that can exist in high-dimensional space-time and pierce the Klein bottle.
Only the Old Gods can do it......
As for the influence of the ancient gods on the ruins later, the trial of the military tribunal...... He didn't want to think about it at all.
Having served in the army all his life, he doesn't want to live in the shadows for the rest of his life.
He wanted to take his teammates and bask in the light, even if it was just standing at the boundary between light and dark in the shadows, it would be better than now.
Better than now.
The corpse floating in the universe touched the side of the deck, and there was a huge hole in the corpse's head, and dripping blood and brain pulp spurted out of the hole, condensing into icicles in the cold space, and were shattered by Ning Yuan's body.
This made him even more determined.
Army, can't stay.
Underneath the rail engine, there is a flying cable, and behind the cable is a dense steel cable, and there is a hole in this small steel net that allows people to get in.
Outside the cave, there are several robots using welding torches to repair, but in the case of the lack of raw materials, they are also difficult to cook.
"Captain, judging from the degree of damage, the control section of the engine core should be well preserved, and the pollution protection measures there should be perfect."
Ning Yuan nodded: "Geng Lin, pay attention to protection, some of these steel bars are polymers, which can cut through the nano protective devices on our bodies." β
"Yes, Captain."
"Don't forget, if you cut it, the gods can't save it."
After Ning Yuan repeated it, he took the lead in entering the hole, and as he entered, he used his ability to bend these exposed steel bars, making them smooth and easy for Geng Lin to pass through.
"Geng Lin, can you access the network of those maintenance robots?"
"Yes, Captain."
"Tell them to weld the armor plates we brought with us in the gap, so that we have two airtight cabins for backup."
"Yes, Captain."
After entering the hole, the two first came to the crew's survival cabin, which contained a large number of corpses, which, unlike the corpses outside, had no scars on their bodies.
They died from the loss of pressure and hypothermia caused by the breakage of the ship's hold.
After glancing at the bruised faces of these corpses, and looking at the golden and silver scars growing on their bodies, Ning Yuan knew that the pollution of the ancient gods had increased again.
After a while, these corpses will come back to life as monsters.
Divinity contamination can be the first to be aberrant in animals with complex nervous systems, humans, monkeys, dogs, cats, bears, and so on...... The action potential of neurons reinforces the pollution, causing these creatures to build a connection with the Old Gods and become a secondary source of pollution.
When the concentration of pollution is high to a certain level, divine pollution will distort inorganic matter, that is, inanimate objects.
When the moon was lit up by the impact of the explosion, the concentration of space pollution here also climbed and reached that critical line.
"Geng Lin, you stay, clean up the corpses in the cabin, throw them out for me, the bulkhead has pollution protection, they don't, I don't want to fight later."
"Yes, Captain."
After leaving Geng Lin behind, Ning Yuan pushed open the door and floated towards the depths of the cabin alone.
After opening the heavy hatch, a strong wind blew out violently, and a few corpses floated out, and it seemed that the barometric stabilization system in the cabin was still working, constantly blowing on the broken cabin.
After being blown out by the air flow for a few meters, Ning Yuan used his ability to stabilize his body and maneuvered inside.
"Geng Lin, you continue to work, my main control room, turn off the air pressure stability."
"Yes."
With the help of his ability, Ning Yuan easily walked in this strong air current, because the design of the various modular ships of the Sky was different, and he had never been here, so he needed the means to find his way.
Fortunately, it wasn't that hard, and he walked down the aisle, and in a few moments he found a schematic diagram of the ship's structure taped to the wall.
The drawings on the walls split each floor and were densely pasted with dozens of sheets, marked in red with the nearest route to the escape pod.
At a time when divine pollution can erupt at any time, the pigments painted on the walls last longer than electronic devices.
Soon, Ning Yuan found the nearest way to the control room.
Pressed for time, he scanned the route into his field of vision and ran quickly towards the CDC.
As we get closer to the control room, the alarm in the air gets louder.
"Warning, the cabin is leaking."
"Warning, divine contamination detected."
"Warning ......"
"Insert the order from the Supreme Marshal, the army has activated the Ring of Kanin, blockading the entire universe, and in three minutes the inter-universe communication will be completely banned ......"
"The marshal ordered, the following trans-universe communication authority, please write a suicide note, record the video, and transfer it to your commander, we will use trans-universe communication equipment to contact your family ......"
"You don't have to worry about the handover of your estate, we have organized a team of hundreds of lawyers, who can handle everyone's inheritance, and you can spend more time talking to your family."
"Warning, it is forbidden to appear keywords that damage the image of the army, so as not to cause the accidental deletion of big data, thank you for your cooperation......"
"The ruins will remember your sacrifice."
"Heh~" Ning Yuan sneered.
A soldier's legacy?
Most of the soldiers in the ruins come from embryonic breeding, and they can't afford to pay the army's upbringing expenses for the rest of their lives, and most of the rest are poor people who are in debt, leaving nothing but a child who doesn't know who his father is.
It's rotten to the house.
Moving on, Ning Yuan arrived at the front of the control room.
There is a thick airlock compartment in front of the control room, which is to ensure the operation of the engine in extreme situations, although it is a little inconvenient to say that daily traffic, but it can only be so.
The probe on the airlock hatch scanned Ning Yuan's identity and slowly opened.
"Welcome, Colonel Ning Yuan."
After the airlock door slowly opened, a stream of air gushed out, and after Ning Yuan walked into the airlock cabin, he heard a gunshot.
Gunshots...... There are still living people in there?
After the airlock was closed, the air pressure balance with the control room was completed in a short time, and he walked quickly into the cabin.
Next to the dense dashboard, he saw a person, who was wearing a heavy Abyssal Ruins military uniform.
The black and white color scheme of the military uniform made people look very cold, and with that gloomy poker face, Ning Yuan felt that this person was serious.
Beside him, lay an officer with a large hole in his head.
"This grandson actually used the idea of intercosmic communication, and I was killed directly." Poker slapped his hands, smiled at Ning Yuan and said, "This grandson, I have to say that I have a private amount of money to give to my son, I don't know where the money came from?" β
As he spoke, he kicked the corpse: "Hmph, his son deserves it even if he goes to the street to beg!" The communication equipment was also destroyed by me, and the inter-universe communication was completely blocked before the Ring of Kanin annihilated the universe. β
"You're really hearted. Brigadier Howard, I thought you died with the explosion of the Firmament. β
"Who called me a vice-captain? Where is the matter, where is the go. Howard shook the gun in his hand, dissipated the smell of gunpowder, and said, "If it weren't for someone here who said that there was a problem with the fusion reactor, I really wouldn't want to come here." β
Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Something happened to the reactor?" β
"What's the matter, this grandson just wants me to run errands and solve the problem of resource allocation for him, module 113 is not the main module, and they can't share the cake when they go back, and the people below are starting to make trouble."
"Then you're really lucky, you've lived all the way to the present."
"It's my job to make sure that the information is completely closed until the end." Howard took out a handkerchief from his arms, stuffed it into the barrel of the gun, and turned it around carefully, cleaning the residual gunpowder in the chamber: "How did you survive?" β
"Before, I wasn't repairing the outer close-in gun, which happened to be far away from the blast center."
"Haha." Howard laughed: "I really don't know how Emir's goods did it to make the famous Shadow Raid Special Forces captain go to repair the artillery, as the Minister of Maintenance, he is more popular than me, who is in charge of intelligence." β
"After all, you're in charge of housekeeping, who doesn't bother you when they see you? If you were a pretty girl, people might not have such a big opinion. β
"Aren't you just joking, isn't the former deputy captain just a pretty girl, engaged in ship housekeeping and bed, or where else did I come from?"
"I've heard that she just came to entertain the former captain, and she floated to someone else's bed before she was beaten, and the former captain's wife came to make trouble again, and it was a mess back then......"
"Don't say too much, the military atmosphere is also under my jurisdiction."
"Hahaha." Hearing this, Ning Yuan laughed: "I'm not in the same system as you, can you still control me?" β
"Hahaha." After laughing for a while, Howard narrowed his eyes: "Colonel Ning Yuan, my military rank is higher than you, the captain is dead, according to the priority, I am now the captain of the Firmament, you should obey my orders." β
"The Firmament is gone, you're a fart captain."
"The headquarters still recognizes, then I am." Howard's smiling demeanor suddenly turned serious, and he asked, "Ning Yuan, tell me the truth, what are you doing here?" β
Ning Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I want this engine." β
"It's all now, what do you want this engine for?" After Howard finished wiping the chamber, he brought the gun to his eyes and carefully examined the hammer, the muzzle of which was pointed at Ning Yuan in the process.
Ning Yuan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm going to Earth." β
"Are you looking for death?" Howard glanced at Ning Yuan and said, "As soon as the Firmament entered this universe, it was hit by a blow from the ground, and the earth has now become a part of the ancient gods, you haven't even reached the S-rank, and if you go there, you are looking for death." β
"The army's artificial ancient god laboratory is still in Jerusalem, and after experimenting for so long, I must get the data back." Ning Yuan said: "This is an order from the top. β
"It's a fart." Howard put down the gun in his hand: "Even if you get the data, you can't notify the abyss, the activation process of the Kanin Ring must maintain the locking of information, otherwise the parameters will be confused, the universe will fail to restart, and the ancient gods will escape, you won't know it." β
"You've probably heard of me, and the mission completion rate is 100 percent." Ning Yuan said with a smile: "Even so, I still have to complete my mission, I don't want to have a failed mission at the end of my life." β
"What's the use of that? When they seal your file, they will write in a big red pen that a mission has failed, and then throw it into the fire. Howard said, "You're a special forces in the special forces, and you should know better than I do that you've never been there." The history of the ruins will not have your name. β
Ning Yuan lowered his head and touched his head with his hand to hide the twitching of his eyelids.
He was a visitor in the shadows, and he should be annihilated in the darkness for the rest of his life, but he didn't want to...... He wants to stand in the light, and he wants his team members to stand in the light.
After controlling his micro-expression, he said in a low tone: "I am twenty years old this year, and I have been serving in the army for more than ten years...... Before I joined the army, I began to receive military training when I was six years old, and every day I had to pour learning chips into my brain at the same time as physical training, and I had to pour it into my brain for two years, two years......"
Ning Yuan sighed and continued: "You have received the ability algorithm chip, you should know how uncomfortable it is after your brain is filled with knowledge, I have been filled with knowledge for two whole years. When he was eight years old, he went on a mission, killed several people, and then entered the army through special recruitment channels at the age of nine......"
"It seems that you are not a special embryo cultivated by some company, but a ......" Howard said with a smile: "Just like the rumors, you are the son of Marshal Ning, after all, ordinary families can't afford to raise you, so why do you acquiesce to the existence of this rumor?" β
"When it's true and false, it's true, and gossip is the best proof to cover up your identity." Ning Yuan said with a smile: "These rumors will be believed by the people at the bottom, but those powerful people who pretend to be smart will not believe it. β
"Great, so that you can avoid people who can threaten the marshal."
"yes." Ning Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know how much effort I put into making myself a special embryo? I only have to be excellent, even better, others will not doubt me, the success rate of the mission must be more than 96%, in order to compare with those flesh and blood AI ......"
"It's you."
"My life, except for the task, there is nothing else, ten years of fame and dust, I don't want to die when I have regret and hatred." Ning Yuan looked at Howard sincerely: "Brigadier General, please approve my actions." β
Howard lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then smiled: "I don't agree. β
"Why!"
"Thank you for sharing your story, a boring story." Howard narrowed his eyes: "Don't think that the name of the marshal is useful to me, don't you just want to use the communication equipment in the laboratory after hearing me say that you ruined the inter-universe communication here!" β
Ning Yuan said angrily: "You are slandering! β
"Ning Yuan, don't think I don't know you." Howard curled the corners of his mouth: "After all, I am engaged in housekeeping, but I have the ability to look at words, after seeing you for the first time, I can see that you are abnormal, and after you tell your story, I completely understand your thoughts." β
He pointed at Ning Yuan with his finger and said loudly, "Don't you just want to break away from the army!" Don't you just want to get rid of the family's shackles! The Ring of Kanin is activated, everything is zero, as long as you escape, the past will have nothing to do with you! With such a godsend, how can you not act? β
Ning Yuan's breathing became a little shorter, and after he found that his micro-expression revealed his thoughts, he simply stopped acting.
Shadows poured out of his feet like liquid, turning into thousands of ribbons that spread throughout the control room.
He said loudly: "Brigadier General Howard, don't be embarrassed, who do you think you are facing?" β
"Just a colonel." Howard snorted coldly: "No matter who you want to contact the Space-Time Authority, with me, you don't want to escape from here!" β
Ning Yuan smiled bitterly in his heart, the people he knew were either assassination targets or family connections, who could he find to help him!
If he really had friends in the Space-Time Authority, he wouldn't have beaten the idea of the Old Gods.
He sneered and said, "You are a brigadier general, you can choose a decent way to die." β
Howard sneered and said: "I have long thought that I would meet you, I have served for so long, but you may not be able to defeat me after beating many famous people." β
Ning Yuan smiled: "Then try it?" β
