The surfaces of these spacecraft generate a repulsive force field that pushes away the zero-mass powder in the surrounding space in a non-contact manner, thereby protecting the main structure of the spacecraft from damage.
The repulsive field extends outward and flips over the head of the spacecraft, which creates an outward-extending funnel-shaped area in the bow area.
In this space, the force field no longer repels external matter but attracts it.
In this way, the spacecraft can reabsorb the dispersed massless powder into its cargo hold.
As special spacecraft specifically designed to deal with material leaks, their cost is much higher than that of spacecraft containers.
In addition to the golden seeds, there is also a thin layer of zero-element plating on the inner walls of their cargo holds.
The properties of zero elements determine that they will not react with zero-mass matter.
Dozens of processing ships would only need one day to restore the channel to normal operation. Afterwards, Bai Yi would dispatch a high-powered tachyon sensor to illuminate the area.
Massless powder has a very strong echo signal in the tachyon view, making it very easy to find.
This way you can be absolutely sure that no powder will be left behind.
…
After arranging everything at the scene, Bai Yi's attention returned to the incident itself.
It will take time to read the data and restore the on-site situation. Before that, the crew members of the cargo ship evacuated from the accident were taken under control first.
The special investigation committee is mainly composed of two parts. The technical department is responsible for processing and analyzing the data recovered from the spacecraft to find the key nodes of the accident.
The human resources department was responsible for conducting individual interrogations of the evacuated crew members. Of course, this wasn't an interrogation like one would for a criminal, but more accurately, an investigation.
The committee told Bai Yi that they already had some basic clues and were now verifying whether their ideas were correct in this direction.
They also sent Bai Yi a stack of photos, which contained video footage collected by the committee members through various means, including personal portraits of the crew members and screenshots of surveillance videos of various parts of the spacecraft.
One of the photos caught Bai Yi's attention. The main subject of the photo was an Obelisk-class cargo ship. He was currently staying in an area similar to a dock.
Many parts of the external armor plates have been removed, exposing the internal pipelines.
Many workers and robots float around it.
Judging from the background of the picture, this should be a maintenance dock at a starport. Bai Yi's eyes moved to the lower right corner of the photo. The time marked there was exactly half a year ago, indicating that this photo was taken when the obelisk was undergoing maintenance.
There is nothing unusual to see from this photo alone, except that the big PIBC logo on the spacecraft is somewhat eye-catching.
Bai Yi immediately thought of what happened to him on the way out of the Pass C11 galaxy a few months ago.
That was what he and Arel encountered when they were on their way to the Review Committee. While they were waiting in traffic at the Star Gate, an obelisk exploded.
The spacecraft that exploded was also under the PIBC flag.
Subsequent investigations into the explosion revealed that the cause of the accident was human error.
Someone mislabeled the base index of the reactor's pressure relief valve by one decimal point, which ultimately led to an explosion caused by the accumulated pressure.
Since the person who caused the malfunction was killed in the explosion, no crew member was punished for the accident.
The incident ultimately ended with PIBC conducting extensive secondary training for its employees at the request of the market regulatory authorities.
However, not long after this incident, another Obelisk had an accident at Upper Blackstone Fortress.
Although there was no evidence to show a direct connection between the two accidents, Bai Yi still had a bad feeling.
Compared with Bai Yi's side, the progress of the accident investigation team was much smoother.
It took them less than two days to successfully identify the key to the problem.
Traces of virus intrusion were found in multiple recovered registers and golden seeds. These malicious programs run with administrator privileges and hide themselves under processes in the system stack to avoid scrutiny by security software.
But the virus code itself wasn't some high-end gadget; it looked like a heavily modified second-hand product bought on the black market for 50 quantum coins. Its parent code had already been blacklisted by major security software over a decade ago.
Customization cannot change its parent characteristics. The reason why the code was not discovered by the antivirus software on the spacecraft in the early stage of its operation was because someone added this process to the whitelist of the security software and manually activated the virus with administrator privileges.
This pointed the finger of blame directly at several high-ranking positions on the spacecraft, including the captain, first and second mates, and several engineers.
A password is required to invoke administrator privileges, and only a few people on the entire ship have the password.
After layers of investigation, everyone's attention was finally fixed on the spacecraft's first mate, Vic.
The latter was newly transferred to this ship. He had previously served in the military of another civilization and was in charge of the command of a missile destroyer.
Later, due to a work error, he attacked the president's car with a torpedo during an escort mission and was expelled from the army and deported.
After that, he jumped back and forth in several companies until he finally got a position as a first mate on a cargo ship at PIBC.
But these are not the most important things. The investigation team found that he had some work experience at 3v.
The content of this job was very vague, and the reason for leaving was also very far-fetched.
3V and PIBC are each other's strongest commercial competitors, and the two companies almost divide the entire galaxy's trade territory in half.
However, in recent years, due to some errors in policy prediction and corruption in business operations, the reputation of the three Vs has suffered a great blow and is showing signs of decline.
But rumors have it that the three Vs have been pushing for a split between the north and south of PIBC, trying to use this method to divide the entire PIBC business territory into two hostile parts.
In fact, after a period of sedimentation, this trend has already taken shape.
In the southern half of the galaxy, an organization called POIBC has been established. This organization was privately organized by former PIBC executives and has been continuously eroding the former company's assets and channels through asset transfers.
The investigation team easily broke down Vic's psychological defenses, and he burst into tears in his cell.
He claimed that everything he did was directed by 3V. The other party wanted to completely discredit the company by disrupting PIBC's trade operations, thus creating an opening for his own development.
