Emergency facility offline alarm…
Preparing to restart the entire ship system
System offline countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7...
…
Accompanied by violent explosions and vibrations, the blowout alarm rushed towards Hal like a tsunami in an instant.
The local regulating system in the isolation area short-circuited in an instant. The explosion that should have been controlled in the isolation area spread to the upper and lower cabins, and detonated a small energy conversion device...
Continuous firelight lit up the corners of the Providence, like orange-red fireworks suddenly lighting up in the dark underground.
Except for the ear-piercing roaring explosions and fire, the Providence suddenly fell into complete silence.
Of course, it has been abandoned here for so many years, and death is its normal state. But this time, the silence that fell on this spaceship was different.
You know, even when the heterogeneous infection on the Providence reached its peak and the entire ship fell into complete chaos, the basic systems used to maintain the most basic operation of the entire ship never stopped completely like they do now.
If the Providence was a human being, then we can say that it died once in a very short moment.
Yes, as much as he hates to admit it, Hal was overwhelmed by the flood of bug reports.
The completely overloaded load forced Hal, who had finally seized control, to go offline again—
Then, in a very short moment, maybe 0.1 seconds, or less, Hal started the first restart in his life.
This was an incredible thing for Hal.
After all, as a spaceship like the Providence, even if most of the spacecraft has been destroyed, she should be able to maintain basic operation, even if Hal has not been maintained for hundreds of years.
What's more, what's constantly entering its brain are just insignificant error reports.
After a cursory inspection, Hal said to himself.
but…
Hal has clearly felt that his operation is becoming more and more laborious and stagnant.
However, this is really difficult to explain.
After all, in addition to the main computing, it also has several spare computing resources.
But when Hal called up the background data, it discovered that all its backup libraries were fully loaded.
Fortunately, the full-load computing only lasted for a short while, and then a large amount of computing resources began to be released, and Hal was able to reluctantly regain control of the spacecraft.
Although its spaceship has been severely damaged (and it has long since lost the humans who can repair it), the first priority for it is still Lin Xi's life and death - the surrounding area is still burning In the explosion area, countless monitoring ports received Hal's instructions at the same time, and the machines started running in a flash, searching for traces of the alien species named "Lin Xi" with utmost sincerity and loyalty.
Search target…
Search target Lin Xi... failed, search again after ten seconds... failed...
No target found within area.
…
Hal tried to find Lin Xi inside the spacecraft - of course, it would be best to find Lin Xi and the wreckage of those damn bastards.
However, after wasting a lot of resources, Hal did not find any traces of Lin Xi in the explosion area.
Hal had to face an incomprehensible problem again. He found that Lin Xi was missing.
No matter how it investigated and searched, Lin Xi and his family members were still nowhere to be found.
…
…
Lin Xi is inside Hal's brain.
Of course Hal didn't know this. .
In fact, just a few minutes ago, even Lin Xi himself did not realize that he was in Hal's core computing center.
After all, it was all too confusing.
Taking advantage of the airflow ejected from the explosion, Xavier, Lin Xi, Noah and Arthur escaped from the explosion area at an alarming speed.
It was still slightly injured, and its wings were covered with scorches and metal fragments shot out by the airflow.
The pair of wings was completely hopeless, and Xavier had to give up his wings again.
It felt quite sad about this, until it discovered that it could use this as a bargaining chip to get a long period of comfort and condolences from Lin Xi.
In comparison, Noah and Arthur's injuries were very minor.
Noah had part of his body scorched, and Arthur was scratched.
Of course, for these two alien species, wounds of this degree are almost non-existent.
On the contrary, the scene when Xavier was so aggressive, staring at the two young and weak mutants with his blood-red eyes, and tearing the wings off his back by the roots, caused a greater mental stimulation to them...
Well, that’s not incomprehensible.
You know, even as a bystander, Lin Xi could still clearly feel Xavier's murderous intent at that moment.
He could even detect the trace of regret that could not be concealed in Xavier's heart...
Obviously, Xavier's previous actions were completely unplanned.
If he had been given more time to think, Xavier might have preferred to abandon the two light bulbs, Noah and Arthur, in the explosion area.
But at that time, it had no room for "thinking" at all. Xavier completely relied on instinct to rescue two alien species, and even lost a pair of wings to them...
"Okay, Xavier..."
Xavier's emotions became more and more intense, and Lin Xi had to speak to interrupt a certain king insect that was starting to get into trouble.
In order to divert the depressed Xavier's thoughts, Lin Xi stood up and wandered around in the temporary shelter they found.
It is also the instinct of a qualified alien to become familiar with unfamiliar environments...
It was at this time that Lin Xi realized that he seemed to have arrived in a rather special area.
This place is extremely wide, and the open space is like some kind of giant gymnasium.
There are no working facilities for humans here. On the contrary, it suddenly looks a bit like an ancient stadium. Only the bottom area is wide and flat, and the people sitting on the circular "seats" are no longer humans. Instead, there are a series of metal iron boxes arranged neatly.
Each iron box is flashing with regular electronic lights and a large number of cables. Those cables and pipes are like spider webs, connecting all the metal iron boxes together.
Above all the iron boxes, a translucent spherical particle operator flickered on and off like some small celestial body.
If not, Lin Xi might have had a hard time imagining that this was a very large computer room after having visited the computer center of the Earth-Moon University.
In ordinary scenes on earth, people can already hand over extremely complex calculations to ultra-thin microcalculators the size of fingernails. Huge electronic computing centers like this are really rare now.
But then again, if the computer's calculations are to maintain an extremely large, extremely sophisticated intelligent system that can even produce human emotions, there is no way that a small ultra-tiny thing can withstand that level of calculations. .
What he needs is a huge computing cluster like the one in front of Lin Xi.
"Where in the world did you find this place, for God's sake..."
Lin Xi looked around in shock, and then murmured.
Lin Xi just sighed instinctively, but Xavier still answered him very seriously.
"Indicator light..."
Xavier said dryly.
"Emergency lights..."
In that moment filled with fire, high temperature and airflow, the time for Xavier to make a choice was really extremely short - but at that moment, Xavier keenly noticed that inside the intricate cabin, a certain The emergency light indicating the escape route was flashing rapidly.
It followed the indicator light almost instinctively, and by the time it reacted, it had already stumbled into this place.
After listening to Xavier's answer, Lin Xi suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where he and Xavier came.
A metal door was slightly ajar, and you could still vaguely see the traces that Xavier drew on the metal plate when he broke into this place.
That was not the crudely made, thin metal doors found in other areas of the cabin.
That extremely thick metal door with numerous warning devices reminded Lin Xi of the vault doors used by banks on Earth to arm their vaults.
Looking at the door, a thought suddenly flashed in Lin Xi's mind.
He walked quickly towards the entrance, and after some inspection, he was not surprised to find about dozens of mechanical warriors in several completely hidden traps at the entrance.
From the appearance point of view, they are different from the ones Lin Xi has dealt with before, but it is certain that... they will be quite difficult to deal with if they wake up.
But, since our focus is... "if" they wake up.
The role of these mechanical warriors is too simple and clear. If someone enters the core area of the central computer without permission, these mechanical warriors are the last line of physical defense.
However, the mechanical warriors that were supposed to be the killer weapon (let's ignore their models for now) are now completely paralyzed.
Lin Xi grabbed a limp metal tentacle and played with their bodies casually.
Under the hemispherical helmets of the mechanical warriors, the electronic eyes were flashing crazily, but their bodies were completely unable to move.
Lock error reported, lock not authorized.
A line of code quickly passed over the helmet of the mechanical warrior.
Lin Xi slowly put down the machine temporarily, then turned his head and looked at the extremely empty hall.
Something opened the door for them, and Lin Xi knew who it was.
"…What exactly do you want to do? Scripps?"
Lin Xi asked.
There was still silence in the hall. Amidst the red light that represented a malfunction, there were only dozens of "metal boxes" with green lights flashing and operating normally.
This makes those computers stand out.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at the machines.
"Oh, my God, are you...?"
Lin Xi's mind suddenly flashed through some of the information he had seen at the research center in the quarantine area.
In an instant, the strange look in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Yes, Scripps still didn't have any direct communication with him, but Lin Xi vaguely felt that he could sense Scripps's thoughts.
He groped around to check the machines that were still running.
It didn't take long for Lin Xi to discover that his guess was not wrong. .
"That's Hal, isn't it?"
With a feeling of disbelief, he pressed his hand on the slightly heated cold metal box.
Then asked Scripps.
