Chapter 33 Each Performs His Duties

In the center of the dormant chamber, a bright light hangs high.

Underneath the light is a rectangular conference table

At this time, seven people, including Cao Ge, were silent around the metal platform in the center.

The seven of them didn't know each other, and the only image they had of each other was the data on the small computer in front of them.

Personnel profiles on the computer showed that they belonged to the same group and were under Walker's command.

They held the small projection screen in their hands and kept looking at the faces of the others, but they did not speak.

The atmosphere in the dark sleeping room was a little awkward, looking at the subordinates in front of him who were wary of each other, Cao Ge didn't know where to start for a while.

In the end, one of the middle-aged men who looked more wise, after glancing at the six people on his side, looked at Cao Ge on the other side of the conference table and said, "This sir, if I was not mistaken, we seem to have been woken up from the hibernation pod by you, right?" ”

Meeting the middle-aged man's gaze, Cao Ge nodded affirmatively: "That's right, you were awakened by me." ”

"In that case, can you tell me what kind of place this is? I don't remember. The middle-aged man frowned and thought hard, but found nothing.

As soon as this question came out, the other five people also looked at Cao Ge for the first time, hoping to get an answer, because the middle-aged man's question was also confusing them.

And Cao Ge was the only one who was awake before they even woke up.

Cao Ge looked at the six subordinates in front of him who were dressed in black snake combat uniforms, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Do you remember the Elysium?" ”

"Yes."

"I don't remember."

Two of the six said they didn't remember, and three said they remembered, Cao Ge didn't care about those who said they didn't remember, but continued.

"We're in Elysium."

"But, here'......"

The middle-aged man looked at the dust-covered space, and then looked at him with a confused expression.

"There has been a rebellion on the Elysium, causing us to sleep much longer than we planned." Cao Ge replied.

"I remember that according to the flight rules, we have a year of mission time every twenty years and need to be awakened, but you just said that we were forgotten here, so how long is that?"

"More than 2,400 years." Cao Ge looked at the six of them solemnly, and then said slowly.

"Oh, it can't be."

"If I'm not mistaken, it only took fifteen hundred years to get to Tanis, and you say we've been dormant for two thousand four hundred years, so where are we now?"

As soon as Cao Ge said that they had been dormant for more than two thousand four hundred years, the two younger men among the six retorted excitedly.

Cao Ge looked at them for a long time before he said, "I don't know either. ”

"But the fact I said is that there is a hibernation record in the computer, and you can check it yourself."

There was silence in the cabin, except for a dim light hanging overhead.

The six people knew that Cao Ge's words could be easily confirmed, so there was no need for Cao Ge to lie to them, they just didn't want to believe it, after all, they had just woken up less than two hours ago.

Looking at the six people with a depressed expression, he imitated Walker's tone and encouraged.

"Guys, now is not the time to be sad and confused, you are soldiers, show your soldiers, this ship needs us to save now."

"I don't know where we are, or what the rebellion has made of the ship, but I think there are many people like us who are still dormant, and as the ship's armed personnel, it is our responsibility to regain control of the ship." Cao Ge said loudly.

……………………

After Cao Ge's continuous encouragement, the six people slowly came out of their confusion, although they didn't remember who they really were, but the instinct of the soldiers still made them clear about their responsibilities.

There is also the fact that no matter how much time has passed, as long as it is dormant, then for them, there is no change.

By the time they boarded the Elysium, they were ready to wake up to the vicissitudes of life.

They and the earth are destined to be two worlds, so their focus should be on returning to this ship from the earth.

As long as the ship doesn't crash and there are people on board, then they still have a chance, and no matter how long the ship has been yawed, as long as they can regain control of the ship, then they can still get the ship to go in the direction they set it for.

In the current situation, they could only choose to believe Cao Ge's words, because he was the first to wake up, and he had the highest military rank.

They are military personnel and, in case of emergency, must be under the command of the highest officials.

"Minister Walker, is what you said true? Was there really a rebellion on the ship? ”

Cao Ge looked at the young man in front of him, and then said: "Yes, John, there was a rebellion on the ship, but that was fifteen hundred years ago, it has nothing to do with us, our dormancy time has far exceeded the mission time, the cabin computer and the main body computer of the spaceship have lost contact, according to the planned time, we should have arrived at Tanis Star nine hundred years ago, but you look around." ”

"Soldiers, now that we have completely lost contact with the outside world, the computer can only function in the cabin where we are." Cao Ge looked at the subordinates in front of him seriously and said.

"Minister Walker, what do you need us to do?"

Cao Ge looked at the strong man who was talking in front of him, and then said: "Eric, we don't know anything about the outside world, what we need to do now is to restore contact with the outside world, control the spaceship, and then make every effort to search for and rescue the survivors who are still alive, can you help me?" ”

"Sir, this is our duty." The six said succinctly.

But with that, all six of them turned their eyes to the hatch that opened to the outside world, and looked out at the dead world outside through the glass-like window.

"But will anyone really be alive out there?"

"Since we can all live, I believe that others can already survive." Cao Ge encouraged.

"John, you're our tech officer, and you're going to find a way to open this hatch that leads to the cockpit." Cao Ge said, pointing to another hatch.

"Yes, Minister, I'll figure it out, but in the current situation, it's going to be difficult, because the hatch is in a state of power outage, and no instructions can be entered, unless there is a manual mechanical door." John said, pointing to the cabin where they had been awakened.

Cao Ge shook his head and said, "There is no manual mechanical door, this door is just specially set up for my command." ”

Hearing Cao Ge's words, John was obviously a little disappointed, but he immediately calmed down and said, "Don't worry, minister, I will definitely find a way to open this door." ”

"Hmm." Cao Ge nodded.

After saying that, Cao Ge began to assign tasks to Eric again.

"Eric, I need you to take Yuval Dern and Burton Barblin, climb out of here, and open this door." Cao Ge said, pointing to the ventilation duct above his head.

Eric's rank is major, he acts in a more hard-line style, his whole body is full of large muscles, he is silent, he is the kind of soldier who is very pure, he is an important officer under Cao Ge to assist him in commanding.

There were three officers among the six people in front of him, one was the young man who was already busy in front of the hatch, with the rank of second lieutenant, and the post was a technical officer, and there was Eric in front of him, with the rank of major, the position of head of the operations group of the Ministry of Armed Forces, and finally a civilian officer, who was responsible for assisting Cao Ge in administrative affairs.

"Guy Bathory."

"Minister, what do you need me to do?"

Cao Ge looked at him, and then said: "You discuss with Eric, find a way for them in the computer, let them get out of the ventilation duct, we have lost contact with the outside world now, there is not much we can do, and now we think too much, but it is useless." ”

"Alright, let's get moving."

"Yes."

Eric and his two non-commissioned officers, Guy Bathory and his lieutenant, talked to each other about how to get out of the vents.

Cao Ge didn't bother them, he sat down and thought, on the one hand, thinking about how to complete the task, and on the other hand, thinking about what he could get out of this world.

The main scene of the movie Elysium is on the Elysium, a giant colonial spaceship capable of holding 60,000 people.

This is a great asset, this bed, has all the information of this world on earth, the most advanced technology, the most advanced equipment.

This is the only thing that technology can get.

But the whole human race doesn't know how much time it took to create the technology, and how he can see it alone.

So he can only choose what he needs to learn, and there is not necessarily a guarantee that he will learn.

From the memory fragments that appeared out of thin air in his brain, the ship he was in was traveling at sub-light speeds, the speed limit that a mass object could reach.

Of course, the curvature engine, the way of separating objects from the larger world is another matter.

Elysium is completely driven by the engine, and the speed it achieves is not by distorting space.

This is an earth-shattering milestone achievement in Cao Ge's cognition.

You must know that the speed of the First Trimaran Fleet is only one-tenth of the speed of light, and such engine technology not only far surpasses the earth civilization, but also far exceeds the three-body civilization.

But this kind of technology cannot be mastered by him alone.

Because the engine technology is a huge project, and the engine that can reach sub-light speeds is a technology that he cannot understand.

Of course, he can also choose to let the system enhance his scientific research capabilities.

However, with such an advanced engine technology, its manufacturing materials are incomparably huge, and it is impossible for him to fully grasp it.

And in addition to engine technology, this spaceship has other technologies.

This spaceship is the crystallization of the top technology of human civilization on the current earth in the world, and it represents the pinnacle of human science and technology in this world.

The technology is vast.

Cao Ge shook his head, and then stopped thinking about this problem, because it was useless to think too much, and he had to complete the task first before he had time to do what he wanted.

As for what he learns in the end, it depends on what he can understand.

The current situation is that he doesn't know where the ship is, so he can't make a specific rescue plan.

If Elysium crashes on Tanis's planet as in the original show, then he only needs to eject all the hibernation pods to complete the mission, as in the original play.

But if the spaceship hadn't crashed yet, but was drifting around the universe, then he would not have completed the mission by ejecting all the hibernation pods, but would have ended early.

So the task of opening the hatch to the cockpit is crucial.

Despite the loss of contact with the main computer, as soon as the cockpit is powered back, the protective shield on the top of the cockpit can be opened, which is the only place he can think of to see the outside world.

Only by figuring out where you are can you make the right decision.

Cao Ge looked at the six people in the cabin who were performing their duties and nodded slightly, there was not much they could do at the moment.

………………

A few quarters of an hour later, Eric climbed into the ventilation duct in the ceiling with two of his subordinates each with a pistol.

Cao Ge glanced up at the ventilation duct, which was no more than fifty centimeters long, and then turned his gaze to Guy in front of the metal table, who was holding a microphone to communicate with Eric in the ventilation duct, directing them forward according to the road map on the screen.

Cao Ge glanced at it, the exit of the ventilation duct was about fifty meters away from their cabin, but this was a straight line distance, and the ventilation duct was crooked, and it was probably more than two hundred meters together.

Cao Ge glanced twice, and then came to the cockpit to get the hatch.

John was holding a tablet computer for study, crouching in front of the hatch and sliding.

The dense structure on the screen is full of design drawings of the hatch in front of you.

"How? Is there a way? Cao Ge asked.

John stood up, then looked at him with a frown: "Minister, I try my best, but there is a high probability that it is not possible." ”

After saying that, he continued his research and ignored Cao Ge no more.

Cao Ge frowned deeply, put his head close to the transparent window on the hatch, and looked inside, but it was pitch black inside, dull, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Cao Ge had to go out, and if he didn't go out, he couldn't complete this quest, and according to the information he got from the system, if the quest couldn't be completed, the traversal function would not be available.
