The first half hour was the most tense, but nothing happened, and all the equipment in the space station was operating normally, so after the second communication, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
Some non-humans ask Master Lime to serve them some beer, and Lime persuades them that drinking might not be a good option under the circumstances, but they don't listen and stick to the point. Lime had to give instructions to the service robots, and they quickly brought the beer with a lower degree of concentration. Other non-humans played horror games in the game room, slashing zombies with invisible machetes in their hands in a dazzling flame, and there were constant scalp-numbing screams and blood-ripping sounds. . There are also non-humans who have found some retro rock band compilations from other countries in the music library. This kind of music banned in the Earth Alliance according to the regulations of the Cultural Bureau actually appeared in the military, which is ironic and exciting. , and soon the characteristic hysterical singing of death rock rang through the silent corridors of the space station.
Only Ethan couldn't relax. The one who contacted them just now was an ordinary researcher, and told them that non-humans did not have the ability to actively contact them.
Ethan couldn't help but begin to suspect that if those researchers were going to get rid of them after they got the desired observation report, they could just stop the communication, and there was nothing they could do to stop them. This thought turned his entire portrait into a tight rubber band, and his eyes were staring out of the skylight, unable to do anything else to divert his attention.
He thought of the crew in the Philadelphia experiment who had melted into the ship, the terrifying tinnitus, and imagined the sudden collapse of the body, and all those things together called "Ethan", all changed Become a pool of meaningless atoms, floating in a dark and dead universe, until eternity.
This was by no means the way he wanted to die.
At this time, Jarvan sat on the other end of the soft sofa with a beer bottle in one hand, and Ethan moved to the side without a trace of the alcohol. Jarvan looked at him with a bit of a malicious sneer, "Why are you crying all the time? Do you miss Samuel? If you're really so empty and lonely, I can comfort you."
Ethan glanced at him in disgust, "No, thank you."
"Seriously, you don't have Omega taste. Look at Adam over there, how beautiful his little face is, look at you again, although it's not ugly, but it's as uncharacteristic as a Beta, what a waste of Omega genes."
Seeing the other party's dejected appearance, Ethan was also a little angry, "What's wrong with Beta? At least Beta has a brain, and won't forget his surname when he smells Omega's estrus."
Jia Wen, who has never seen Ethan so straightforward, raised his brows and laughed instead of anger, "Oh yo? Still a little temper? You must have a Beta concubine or something? Talk to them like that. I said Alpha and Omega are enough for the world to continue, Beta is a completely redundant gender."
"Hmph, without Beta, the world will enter the paralysis stage when Omega's estrus period arrives?"
"What's wrong? It's not normal to have three days off in three months."
Ethan rolled his eyes, reached out and grabbed a bottle of beer on the table that he didn't know who it belonged to, and poured two sips into his mouth. And the annoying Jarvan next to him probably talked a lot more than usual, "Seriously, you follow that kid Samuel, do you think he's a little weird?"
Ethan swallowed and looked at Jarvan suspiciously.
"I always feel that something is wrong with him. The smell on his body sometimes smells strange. I can't tell, but I think he is suspicious."
Ethan wanted to pretend to be relaxed, change the subject, and dispel the other party's doubts, so he deliberately said with a bit of contempt, "You want to add guilt for nothing, why don't you just say that you are jealous of his younger brother than you, and you are more skilled than you. Hello."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Jarvan's face disappeared, his eyes narrowed dangerously, and he leaned forward slightly in a standard threatening gesture, "Be careful Omega when you speak. Your backer is not by your side now."
Beta instinctively felt a flinch when he saw Alpha's predatory threatening posture, but after being beaten by the guards in the Forbidden City, he quickly stabilized his expression and tried to appear calm," I'm not interested in the feud between you and Samuel, don't drag me into it."
The atmosphere is tense, and the third contact has already begun. The expressionless face of the researcher I had seen before appeared on the front wall of each room of the space station, and asked in an emotionless voice, "The third communication begins, please report whether there are any abnormal conditions or mechanical failures in the space station. "
All the non-humans looked at Jarvan, as if they had regarded him as a superior. Ethan finds this phenomenon interesting. Whenever a group of people get together, no matter what kind of people, they always want to find a leader to help them make decisions. If the leader does not speak, no one dares to speak.
Jarvan said impatiently, "Nothing."
"Please report whether you have observed any abnormal conditions outside the space station."
"No, nothing, not even the fucking stars."
"Received." After speaking, the researcher did not immediately cut off the communication as he did last time, but continued, "Now, we will send a microwave signal to the second universe. We will contact you again in half an hour."
Ethan stood up suddenly, "Send the signal?! What are you doing!"
However, the researcher was disconnected, and Ethan quickly picked up a chair and rushed under a skylight.
Through the pale blue glass, he saw that their space station had rotated to a new angle. At this angle, he could see a bright star shining in the field of view. He also asked if there was a telescope in the Lyme space station. After getting a positive answer, he ran to the observation room without saying a word.
Through the high-powered telescope, he could see clearly. It was a red giant, but it wasn't an ordinary red giant like Hera, but an odd star that was close to a cone but not a cone. It leaned slightly, with uncomfortable sharp corners pointing in his direction. His eyes were burning with pain, but he could still see a few bright planets hovering near and far in orbit around the odd cone-shaped sun. And those planets also seem to have some strange twisted sharp or obtuse angles, depressions or protrusions, and almost none of them are spherical, and they all give people an uncomfortable dazzling feeling, and it is difficult to distinguish the distance between them.
Dr. Xu said that the space structure of this universe is abnormal and cannot be inferred by common sense. But even knowing this in theory, actually seeing these weirdly chaotic, unimaginable forms that didn't exist in their universe was still something of a sickening discomfort.
Why are they sending microwave signals? Could it be that they think there are intelligent creatures around here
But this is impossible. In such a chaotic universe, it is a question whether life can even form, not to mention intelligent creatures. He couldn't believe in any way that there would be any life on those twisted planets.
However, at this moment, the entire space station suddenly began to shake violently, like an earthquake. Beer bottles snapped to the ground, and furniture that wasn't fastened bounced off the floor. Even the lights flickered, and the flickering added to the apocalyptic horror. The non-people stood unsteadily and panicked. The quick-response hands covered their heads and hid under the fixed table or next to the furniture. The cowardly could only lie on the ground and scream. Ethan also fell off his chair and slammed his head against the sharp edge of a nearby electronic table, making him dizzy. He just hid under the table, clutching the flat corner of the table that was connected to the ground.
After these terrifying earthquakes, the lights stabilized again, and the reassuring opalescent light shone through the walls again quietly and softly. The non-people waited for a while before getting up from the ground one after another, looking at the scattered pieces of glass and small machines such as projectors and coffee machines that fell to the ground. Lime's voice immediately sounded, "We encountered an abnormal space warp just now, but no major damage has been found so far. All systems are operating as usual."
After listening to the master's words, the dazed and panic expression on the non-people's faces calmed down slightly. However, the atmosphere of drinking and scolding people just now was swept away in an instant, and a few non-humans were afraid to sit down on the nearest sofa that was shaken. Coming from a different dimension... Did we accidentally enter the universe of those great evil gods?"
His words brought silence and a few uneasy glances. Although Jarvan was also taken aback, he seemed calm, "Don't scare yourself. I've seen the evil god you're talking about with my own eyes. It's just a monster from another world." To appease the panic factor, to describe Shabu Nicholas as "just a monster from another world" is an understatement.
Ethan is actually a little scared, although according to the theory, there are infinite parallel universes, and according to Eve's legend, the universe of the God of Entropy and the God of Sequence cannot be entered by humans, so the probability of them entering the universe where those super-intelligence are located is very low. But since things like breaking the space barrier have already been done, who knows what else will happen
The atmosphere turned into a tight string, and after the fourth contact, Jia Wen went up and shouted at the researcher, "We want the experiment to end!!!"
However, the researcher didn't seem to hear him at all, and just asked in a routine manner, "The fourth communication starts, please report whether there are any abnormal conditions or mechanical failures in the space station."
"Yeah! There was some space warp just now, like an earthquake!" a Beta shouted.
The researcher quickly typed some characters on the desktop, "According to our records, it was just a small-scale space turbulence common in the second universe. There is no danger. The experiment continues.
Ethan listened to the other party's indifferent tone, but his mind was spinning rapidly. Space is abnormally distorted... This kind of thing should happen often in this changeable universe, right? Their different-dimensional space station is like a small fishing boat, bumping in the vast ocean of the second universe. If there are more space distortions like just now, there may even be some large-scale space storms, that is, large-scale strong space distortions. At such a moment, can the temporary force field barrier that wraps their space station really hold up
"The experiment is too dangerous! We ask for a pause!" Ethan stepped forward and shouted, "This is not a five-point mission at all!"
The researcher showed an indescribable look of disgust for a moment, as if he was bothering them. "The order we received is to continue the experiment. We will contact you again in half an hour."
Amid the inhuman shouts, the researcher turned off the communicator.
In the next hour, similar spatial turbulence occurred three more times, each more intense. However, the researcher kept repeating the words "The experiment continues" with a blank face. After the third turbulence, Lime's report finally brought complete panic, "Due to the abnormal distortion of space and the failure of the gravity system in the west wing, I have already blocked it. Please don't approach the weightless area. "
For the first time, the space station malfunctioned. This means that the so-called force field barrier is not that strong, and the space station has begun to be distorted and damaged by the second law of the universe.
And the military doesn't seem to have any intention of pulling them back.
At the moment when the damage report appeared, no one in the audience spoke. The empty silence was so suppressed that one wanted to scream.
After a long while, the very handsome Omega Adam, who had been crying silently, suddenly raised his head, stretched out a hand, and pointed at Ethan.
"It's all you, it's all the proposal submitted by your energy bureau. It's you who got the grey hair and we got here!"
Ethan opened his eyes slightly, as if he wasn't quite sure about the accusation he was facing.
Jarvan said from the side, "Okay, don't say it's useless."
However, Adam stood up slowly. He was always timid and timid, and he never dared to speak. At this moment when facing the unknown destruction, the burning despair and resentment poured out to Ethan. . This hatred came suddenly and unstoppably, as if there was a voice in his mind saying, it's all that person's fault, it's all that person's fault, it's all that person's fault.
It was the lackey of the Energy Bureau who plotted against them. He was not inhuman at all, but was placed in the forbidden city by the government! He is the devil who came to pick the victims of this experiment!
He shouted out the words in his mind, and even said it with reason. Ethan is a member of the Energy Bureau. Since he came, he has been continuously selected to participate in some tasks related to the Energy Bureau. Moreover, the mission on the Red Earth was so dangerous last time, but he was able to get out of it. Even that Eve priest came up to him that day and said something to him. Doesn't all of this mean that this gentle-looking man is actually an unfathomable spy
Although this argument is full of loopholes, at such a moment dominated by fear, unexpected power has emerged. The first one who echoed Adam turned out to be the African-American Alpha, "That's right! He knew from the beginning that this lab was about the Philadelphia experiment and parallel universes! He's just a rat!"
Such strong assertions created some mysterious bewitching power among the other inhumans, perhaps because of fear, perhaps because of despair, perhaps because they needed an object to vent their resentment and blame, and one after another stood up, Staring at Ethan with the same chilling eyes.
Ethan couldn't help but stand up straight, his back a little stiff. He had thought that in the moment of panic, there will always be people who fall prey to fear. He just didn't expect this person to be him. He took a step back and reasoned in a voice that was as calm as possible with a little trembling, "I came in with a crime like you. I committed treason, more than many of you, I'm afraid. Seriously. For this incident, I only experienced what happened on the red earth, and I have handled the parallel universe proposal of the Energy Administration before, so I have this kind of speculation, and I am a victim like you!"
Adam sneered at the corners of his mouth, smiling beautifully and viciously, "Guess? Can guesses be so accurate? There are so many experiments being done by the military, how do you know it's the Philadelphia experiment! I think you're theirs? You shameless traitor! Energy Bureau dog!"
