Master of the Stars

Chapter 1603: Timeout (Part 2)

Views:

In areas covered by evil, phantoms are basically the best trouble to deal with.

It should be a group of people who killed the Black Gold Thorn Locust.

Ronan scanned the battlefield and confirmed from a large number of details: rich combat experience, close cooperation, and everything was done well.

Not to mention, in this area where it is obvious at a glance that it is difficult to deploy heavy weapons, it is a big problem to kill the Black Gold Thorn Locust, which is invincible in close combat.

In the vicious environment, there is a lack of crystal array support. However, it was able to avoid the birth of a vicious living body while the corpse was basically intact, and there was no "corpse transformation" dominated by the vicious living body. Only the least dangerous phantom appeared, indicating that either the aftermath work was done solidly; During the battle, more appropriate modes and tools were chosen.

Mostly it's the latter.

Because there is a problem: since the metal gate is damaged, it proves that the battle took place within forty minutes after Ronan fell.

The battle was won and there was time to properly deal with the aftermath, so why not come and take a look

Ronan frowned and continued to observe the scene.

Then he found a reason that could be explained away: Judging from the traces left behind, even if they won, this group of people would have suffered heavy casualties, and there might be other fatalities. threaten.

They hurriedly took away their wounded comrades, and there may be corpses, but the fragments of armor and flesh and blood tissue scattered around can still show the tragic battle situation at that time.

It’s just that judging from the remains of flesh and blood, there’s still something wrong with the timing…

Ronan pursed his lips, his mind gradually becoming heavy.

At this moment, his eyes and Aunt Kui's reminder were all pointed at the same target: something was flashing blue light regularly on the metal gate that had fallen over.

It was a delicate dial-like object that was firmly attached.

Ronan picked it off and took a look at it. Dozens of hours of intensive study and practice at the relay station have once again shown results:

"This is... a portable communication node? With permissioned access function."

No longer needing to listen to Aunt Kui's instructions, Ronan inserted the external neuron directly and successfully read the contents.

Soon, Aunt Kui announced to him: "Connect to the temporary network of Observation Station No. 7 through the portable interface and permission disk."

Ronan's retinas began to erase information, which required verification of his identity and authority. Naturally, Aunt Kui would handle these, so he didn't need to worry about it. He just expressed his doubts:

"This is for field operations, right? No matter what happens to the observation station, will all the infrastructure be destroyed?"

After thinking for a while, he guessed: "Did you not leave this thing to me on purpose?"

It makes sense to move hastily after a fierce battle, but leave devices that can access the network to give possible survivors a chance to communicate.

Aunt Kui did not give a clear response, but simply said: "The original network was damaged and has not been repaired. The maintenance personnel quickly deployed a temporary network according to wartime instructions."

"Can I contact the person here at the observation station..."

Ronan stopped talking before he finished speaking.

At this time, he has obtained some permissions, and the modular information is effectively divided and arranged in an orderly manner on the retina interface.

One group is the battlefield environment, including asteroid satellite maps and current weather warnings, the internal functional areas of the observation station and the status of each area, the distribution of poisonous pollution areas, high-threat target warning information, etc. These need to be understood and distinguished carefully.

One group is tactical instructions, including tactical targets, current offensive and defensive instructions, real-time progress, etc. These are all blank, indicating that Luo

South has not yet entered the order of battle in this area.

There is also a group of real-time communication categories, including task channels, public channels, etc.

As Ronan's information was injected into it, his identity information, physical condition, and equipment also occupied a certain area.

Ronan glanced at it and saw that it roughly showed:

Luonan, 20 years old, third-class lieutenant (special call);

Level 1 technical staff officer of the Thunder Cluster (Specialization in Space-Time Configuration).

The physical status is healthy, but it is displayed as "no armor" and "infection warning" status.

These are not the important points, just take a look at Ronan.

Currently, his main focus is on the communications area.

This should be able to display the activity level of the personnel at the observation station, as well as their specific identities... code names and so on.

Since Ronan has not entered the battle sequence, he cannot see anything in the mission channel, but the public channel is okay.

The problem is, all he can see are historical information entries that have been swiped one by one, and there are many of them, which are dazzling dark red.

"Modules 1-4 of the Frontier Monitoring Biochemical Detection Array are damaged. It is recommended to repair them immediately."

"The No. 2 energy pool was leaked, area 9 of the ground network was destroyed, and high-threat targets were invaded."

"From now on, the maintenance team and the medical team will be merged, and the first aid station will be evacuated to the command center immediately."

"Cut off the power supply in all areas, including the monitoring array, and make every effort to ensure the supply of the receiving tower."

"The energy pool stopped operating..."

"The temporary network restart is completed, the energy pool has been repaired, and historical information is being refreshed."

"Observation Station No. 7 has been confirmed to restart, the protective shield has been opened, and the temporary network construction is completed."

"Is there anyone alive? If so, please report the specific location on the public channel."

"They're probably all here in the command center."

"The artificial intelligence logic module has been damaged and cannot be restored. The replacement module has been installed. It is recommended to recommend remote transmission to the command headquarters."

"The receiving tower is already half in ruins. It's useless to transmit. The only channel is fully dedicated to supplying the 'axis' signal tradition."

"The protective shield has collapsed again, and the electromagnetic interference is serious. In order to save communication resources, all real-time progress is posted on the public channel.

"The converter hasn't been installed yet?"

"Team Na is gone, the stars are gone, and I am the only one left in Team 4."

"All personnel perform assigned tasks on the spot. If it is indeed impossible to complete, the tasks and progress will be posted on the public channel and enter mutual aid mode."

"I'm probably dying. The progress of the receiving tower has been suspended. The task has been released... I wish you good luck."

"The receiving tower mission has been completed."

"The receiving tower was smashed again. I'll be under it and send out a mission."

"The converter is installed."

"Receiving tower repair mission: Temporary reconstruction has been completed. The filter module needs to be replaced within 2 hours... By the way, the earthquake stone is gone."

"Energy pool rail change task: Disassembly of the dispatcher has been completed. 881 type energy rail spare parts are needed. 20 minutes to prepare."

"A lifesaving cabin has been knocked down in the logistics area. Who wants to go check it out?"

"The converter was damaged for the second time, Fu Long, what's going on over there! Fu Long!"

"Ground network closure mission: Areas 2-9 have been blown up. Pipeline reinforcement in Area 1 has been suspended. Medium-sized infrastructure modules are needed. 15 minutes to prepare."

"Command center mission: We need a communication analysis movement spare part. The airborne module can also be disassembled and modified. Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Ronan roughly scanned the historical information of public channels.

Again. There are self-examination information and automatically pushed suggestions from the observation station's artificial intelligence, as well as instructions occasionally issued by the commander, but what impressed him more deeply were the conversations in the public channel and the tasks issued in the second half.

From this information, he first revised his understanding and adjusted the timeline.

Now he could confirm that the fallen metal gates in the logistics area were not closed because his rescue capsule fell.

In fact, as early as thirty hours ago, this observation station had been attacked. After persisting for a period of time, it "fired out" and lost its function. But soon another rescue team landed, restarted the observation station, and maintained and strengthened the node role of the observation station according to the instructions.

There are quite a few temporary numbers in the public channel, which should be automatically displayed after rescue team members connect to the observation station network.

Initially, these coded IDs and the names of the people in the observation station were coming and going and communicating. But later, in the process of restarting and maintaining the observation station, there were many fierce battles with extraterritorial species, resulting in heavy casualties. The number of callers was greatly reduced. In the end, it was even difficult to organize effective team work. The only way was to distribute the limited manpower at a few important points and assign tasks according to the tasks. Complete the situation and run to support each other.

At present, there are no traces of extraterritorial species here at the observation station, but it has been a while since anyone has spoken out on the public channel.

It can also be seen from the content of the last released tasks: more and more mutual aid tasks have not been completed, so that a large number of timeout tasks have appeared.

In the task mode of the public channel, these unfinished tasks have been refreshed repeatedly at a fixed frequency, and finally they are connected in red.

However, Ronan also noticed:

Among this dazzling array of timed-out task messages, there is another one whose color is obviously inconsistent and is still flashing a blue light that needs to be resolved but has not yet timed out.

In fact, it was the "command center mission" that Ronan saw, and the requirement was a communication analysis movement spare part.

It does not specify the task progress and completion time limit like other tasks.

Did you forget

Ronan noticed that the time of posting this message was half an hour ago.

This is already the closest one to the current time.

He noticed that at least one-third of all the screen-swiping tasks on the public channel were issued by the ID ending in "7333", and spanned multiple areas, from energy pools to ground network systems, and then From the receiving tower to the command center, it seemed like they were running everywhere.

Judging from the senses alone, this person behaves like a task machine that digs and buries. Very few of them are able to complete the task. They leave a series of problems behind their butts that need to be solved, and then ignore them - but most of them All because of insufficient spare parts.

He only maintained this behavior until he issued the "Command Center Mission" half an hour ago, and then there was no further news.

Is it because we finally reached our limit

Or has it been confirmed that no one in the entire observation station will respond to him, so he remains silent

Ronan pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment. What else could he say at this moment

But he knew he had to do something.

Without any hesitation, Ronan directly took over the task that had not timed out, and he naturally entered the battle sequence of the observation station.

Apart from this, he will not ignore the rest: "Aunt Kui, according to the mission time limit and distance. Make a route map... put the first one in the equipment area."
