Chapter 244 Rotten Meat
How many steps are needed to rescue a research ship stuck in the folds of space-time?
The answer is two steps.
The first step is to flatten the folds as much as possible so that the research ship hidden inside can reveal its complete shape.
The second step is to use the traction field to pull it out.
Compared with traction of the Varela microcosm, the difficulty of traction of the research ship is undoubtedly much smaller - the former's working environment is in the abyss between the hyperspace membrane and the macrocosm, and the violent gravity and dangerous five-dimensional space may tear the traction ship apart at any time, while the latter is just a small fight in the macrocosm bubble.
Chen Fan, who has witnessed the extremely difficult rescue work of the microcosm with his own eyes, will naturally not be stumped by such a small problem. In just a few hours, the shuttle-shaped research ship was pulled out by the traction field of the Varela.
But until now, the entire investigation has just been put on track.
"One, try to get in touch with the main brain on the research ship."
Looking at the shuttle-shaped research ship quietly parked next to the [Varilla], Chen Fan turned his head and gave an order to One: "If possible, control it to continue to reduce dimensions into three-dimensional space-time."
As soon as the voice fell, a materialized light path extended from the belly of the [Varilla] and quickly connected to a data transmission interface on the belly of the research ship - this is the universal data interface of the human-union starship.
[The universal data transmission protocol has been submitted, waiting for the target starship main brain to respond...]
A prompt message and a waiting sign flashed quickly in the holographic panel.
One minute, two minutes...
Suddenly, a bright red warning prompt flashed in the holographic projection in front of him.
[Warning! ]
[No response information from the target starship main brain was detected. ]
[Emergency rescue protocol is being activated...]
[Warning! No response from the target! ]
Seeing the flashing warning information, Chen Fan's face suddenly became ugly.
The shipboard main brain did not respond to the information, and even the emergency rescue protocol could not get a response...
Usually, this means that the control system inside the research ship has completely crashed!
This is almost impossible!
As the crystallization of the highest technology of the Human Union, the defense performance and internal stability of the research ship have reached an outrageous level - in the most straightforward words, even in the face of the siege of the eighth-level civilization, this research ship can escape safely under the control of the ship-borne main brain!
"This is trouble..."
Looking at the research ship outside the porthole, which is almost equivalent to a large scrap iron, Chen Fan sighed with some melancholy.
The internal control system is completely down, and he can't even enter the research ship, let alone the so-called investigation.
"Ask Academician Song."
Chen Fan shook his head helplessly: "If it doesn't work, send it to the Dangerous Technology Management Bureau for cutting and exploration."
...
"The ship-borne main brain didn't respond?"
Hearing Chen Fan's description, Song Ziliang couldn't help frowning: "Even the emergency rescue agreement can't get a response?"
"At present, this thing seems to be completely down, otherwise... I send it back to the management bureau?"
Chen Fan asked tentatively.
In fact, this is probably the only solution - he doesn't have the tools to cut the hull of the research ship safely.
What surprised Chen Fan was that in response to his question, Song Ziliang shook his head gently: "I'm afraid it's not a problem of the control system crashing."
"Each scientific research ship has two sets of backup energy and main control systems."
"The main system and two sets of auxiliary systems work independently. The situation where three systems crash at the same time... So far, Renlian has never encountered it."
"Then..." Chen Fan looked at Song Ziliang in the communication interface in a daze.
"It may be that the researcher inside the scientific research ship manually turned on the ban mode."
Sensing the confusion in Chen Fan's eyes, Song Ziliang explained: "Unlike conventional starships, in order to avoid the leakage of confidential information, it can start the ban mode from the inside."
"In simple terms, it means denying all external access to data. At the same time, once abnormal damage to the ship is detected, the scientific research ship will directly enter the self-destruction state-the reactor will quickly produce enough antimatter to ensure that no trace is left."
Chen Fan swallowed his saliva, and a few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
He was thinking of cutting the scientific research ship to investigate the internal situation!
"Since the birth of this mode, this is the first time I have heard of a research ship that has activated the forbidden mode." Song Ziliang's eyes showed some uneasiness, and he murmured in a low voice, "I don't know what crisis this research ship has encountered..."
"Is there a way to unlock it from the outside?"
Chen Fan asked Song Ziliang directly.
"Yes." Song Ziliang spread his hands, "But it has to be done by Ling."
"He designed this thing himself, and only he can remove it at present."
Well!
After going around in circles for a long time, it seems that we still have to ask Lingzu to come out!
"Wait a minute, I'll make an application."
Song Ziliang hurriedly hung up the communication: "You should prepare the data transmission interface first. It is estimated that it will not take long for the Academy of Sciences to open the data interface."
...
"The data transmission interface has been successfully matched."
"Receiving data stream, data source: Human Union Academy of Sciences."
As the electronic synthesized voice sounded, a familiar figure appeared in the holographic projection in front of the main console.
"Huh?"
A gentle voice sounded in the cockpit: "Why are you here again?"
Ling looked at Chen Fan in the cockpit with some surprise.
If he remembered correctly, he had just met this investigator not long ago, and he had the impression that he was a very interesting newcomer.
Unexpectedly, after just a few days of not seeing each other, this newcomer has started to carry out this level of investigation mission...
"Zero Zu, long time no see."
Hearing this unique title, Zero laughed dumbly: "Long time no see."
It is indeed the interesting newcomer.
"Let's talk business. What is the current status of TE913?"
Chen Fan was stunned. Looking at the research ship outside the porthole without any movement, his mind twitched and he said: "The status is very stable and peaceful."
Zero: "..."
He glanced at Chen Fan with a strange expression, and then silently connected the data transmission channel between [Varilla] and TE913 research ship.
A large string of dense data flashed on the holographic panel at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with.
"The lock has been unlocked for you."
"Remember to submit the investigation report as soon as possible. There are many people in the Academy of Sciences who are paying attention to this research ship."
Fearing that Chen Fan would say something shocking again, Zero disappeared in the holographic projection after saying a word.
"The data transmission interface of the Academy of Sciences has been disconnected."
The familiar electronic synthesized voice sounded again:
"The signal of the mainframe on the TE913 research ship has been detected."
"The general data transmission protocol has been submitted, and the basic control authority has been successfully obtained."
...
Three-dimensional universe.
Accompanied by a strange fluctuation of time and space, two dazzling lights appeared in succession in the originally extremely dark cosmic void
. The energy released by dimensionality reduction was scattered in the form of photons.
The light gradually dimmed, and the hyperspace structure that was constantly twisting and changing its shape gradually became clear.
In the end, these two projection structures from the four dimensions turned into two starships of different sizes.
[The target starship docked successfully. ]
Looking at the prompt information flashing on the holographic interface, Chen Fan stood up from the driver's seat with a tense face and walked towards the docking cabin in the middle of the starship.
Just now, he had seen some scenes inside the research ship through the basic control authority of Yi.
The situation...
is several times more serious than expected!
Docking cabin of the TE913 research ship.
Chen Fan and the other two carefully followed the navigation information provided by Yi and walked towards the interior of the research ship.
Although the scale of the research ship far exceeds that of the investigator starship, the space inside is not very spacious.
A large amount of space is occupied by high-precision instruments.
Along the way, Chen Fan saw at least dozens of mechanical devices whose names and uses could not be called out.
"It's so quiet..."
Yisha's soft voice sounded in the team's communication channel.
In order to prevent accidents, Chen Fan and the other two wore a full set of exoskeleton armor before entering the research ship. On the one hand, the exoskeleton armor can provide the necessary combat and protection capabilities. On the other hand, the exoskeleton armor has a complete independent circulation system. To some extent, it can even be used as a life-support suit.
"It's really quiet."
Chen Fan nodded and responded: "If the report of the shipboard computer is correct, there should be no living people on this research ship."
Under the guidance of the holographic navigation, he turned a corner.
Looking at the gate that opened automatically in front, Chen Fan took a deep breath and reminded in the team voice: "Pay attention, the next is the crime scene."
"...Be mentally prepared."
After giving some instructions, he took the lead and walked into the room behind the gate.
This is a fairly spacious laboratory.
The holographic interface in the laboratory has not been closed yet, and the complex space-time field model floating slowly on it indicates the identity of this laboratory: a space laboratory.
There are a lot of small instruments and messy sundries scattered on the ground that Chen Fan cannot name. Under the bright light of the imitation star lamp, the mottled dark brown bloodstains on the ground are particularly dazzling.
Chen Fan silently followed the bloodstains and walked towards the depths of the laboratory.
After turning a corner, he suddenly stopped his heavy steps.
In front of him, it was a scene like hell!
Chen Fan's pupils dilated slightly, staring at the bloody flesh on the ground that was almost not in human form.
This is an academician of the Academy of Sciences.
The white academician's robe was soaked with blood and almost turned dark brown.
Under the academician's robe, a piece of rotten flesh covered with various strange tumors and bloody flesh quietly collapsed on the ground.
On the ground in front of these rotten flesh, there was a series of severely distorted complex words and symbols drawn with human blood.
These symbols and words with unknown meanings...
are exactly the resonant words that Chen Fan had seen on the planet Varela!
This is a resonance from the broadcast civilization!!!
