The big explosion caused by the demon flames blew up the entire gate, and even half of the corridor was shaking violently. After the choking smoke finally dissipated, Hao Ren walked ahead with the shield on his back. Entered the control center of the spaceship.

Behind the gate is a wide and bright large hall like a chapel, with an irregular polygonal shape. In addition to those almost signature sculptures, there are also many strangely shaped control equipment and projection devices in this hall. All consoles They are all arranged in concentric circles, and are distributed layer by layer into three rings. The equipment has been carefully decorated and designed. Although its shape can be seen as a machine, it is more like a ritual vessel used in a certain religious ceremony. This style can be seen all over the ship, so it is not worth paying attention to.

The dome of the hall is high, and there are three huge circular openings on the ceiling. Bright beams of light shine down from the circular openings. The finished products are arranged in the center of the innermost circle of equipment in the hall. Dazzling data and charts floated on those beams of light, and they were still refreshing rapidly when Hao Ren entered the hall—if correct, this should be the display interface of the spacecraft's main control system.

Hao Ren raised his vigilance in case there were automatic response warning devices or sentinel robots, but he was not attacked until he came to the three huge beams of light. It seemed that the spaceship even had the warning devices in the core area. is offline. He stood in front of the three huge beams of light, looking curiously at the constantly refreshed characters on it. Since he had never been exposed to Nizi's technology, he didn't know the status of this thing.

The data terminal analyzed the information on the beam of light a bit: "It is the self-test program of the core host, which has been stuck and is repeating several threads. It may have a problem in the process of trying to restart."

Hao Ren let out a casual oh, and walked back and forth among the control devices curiously. He saw that many of the control devices around the beam of light were still on. The operation panels of those devices were unique: the operation panels of most devices There are several crystal bars arranged in parallel, and between the crystal bars there are red rays of light like strings, and those rays of light are the input devices. After Hao Ren asked the data terminal to confirm the function of one of the devices, he carefully placed his hand on its panel, and plucked a "light string" as if playing a piano. This dimmed the light on a nearby ceiling—a funny way of doing it.

Although the paranoia and foolishness of the rebels have brought a lot of suffering to this universe, Hao Ren has to admit that they may be a species with unique artistic talents—as long as they can use their talents in a slightly normal What a place.

At this moment, Lily suddenly yelled loudly from a few rows of equipment: "Landlord, landlord! There is a corpse here, there is a corpse here!"

Hao Ren was shocked when he heard this, and ran over there, only to see Lily pointing to the open space between the two controllers: "Look!"

Hao Ren looked in the direction of her finger. Suddenly, he saw a man in a gorgeous short robe lying face down on the floor, his body twisted into a strange posture, obviously dead for a long time.

This unexpected discovery stunned Hao Ren and Y'zaks. They did not expect that there was still a dead body on the empty battleship. I am afraid that this dead crew member could reveal the secret of the emergency evacuation of the spaceship crew. . Y'zaks stepped forward and carefully turned the remains over. The moment they saw the state of the corpse, all three of them let out a "huh" in surprise.

The one who died was a "rebellious" officer with the appearance of a commander. Since this race is handsome from top to bottom, there is no need to describe its appearance. His death was quite special: the corpse was pale, with sunken eye sockets. The wrinkled skin and obvious signs of dehydration seemed to indicate that the man had suffered severe blood loss before his death. What is even more interesting is the man's expression: frightened, extremely indescribably frightened. His eyes protruded almost completely from their sockets, and his mouth seemed to be ripping out of his jaw. Every muscle line on his face was engraved with fear, and his dull eyes were chaotic, with bloodshot eyes between the whites. One of his hands was pressed against his heart, and the other twisted strangely behind his back, as if he wanted to grab something.

He almost seemed terrified to death.

None of the three people at the scene were qualified coroners, so the data terminal took the initiative to check the condition of the corpse. Hao Ren looked at the terminal floating around in the air, and couldn't help asking eagerly, "What's the cause of death? Could it be that you were scared to death?"

"Half of the cause of death was horror, his heart ruptured, but the other half was caused by... blood loss. The corpse lost at least half of its blood. Every blood vessel was distorted to varying degrees, and part of his internal organs It seemed to have been heated. In the place where the blood vessels were thicker, the internal organs were almost cooked. To be honest, both of these are fatal factors. This machine is not sure whether he was scared to death first or boiled to death by his own blood first. "

Lily couldn't help sticking out her tongue at this unemotional and plain description of the data terminal: "It sounds weird."

"This way of dying is fresh, refined and self-contained," Hao Ren tried his best to mobilize his brain cells to make this topic not so curious, but everyone knows his mouth, and this opening made Lily flick his tail, " Um, regardless of how he died, let’s see if there are any other corpses.”

Lily sniffled and looked around, but found nothing. The man lying on the floor seemed to be the only clue here.

Hao Ren stood up, thinking about the bizarre death of the rebel commander and looking thoughtfully at the machines and equipment that were on standby, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, this place should be monitored. Something like that? After all, it is such an advanced spaceship."

"Look for it on this machine, but to be honest, don't have too much hope," the data terminal said while floating towards the center of the hall. "The system here is completely offline. It's hard to say whether there is any data saved when the accident happened."

The data terminal came to the center of the three large beams of light, and then activated its induction function. A large number of tiny light blue lines appeared on its silver-white shell, and a soft and pleasant sound rippled in the air. open. Hao Ren, who was often regarded as a coaster, brick, paperweight, hammer, and revolving lantern, finally had a chance to show his high-tech aura. The computing power of the crushing level invaded the nervous system of this ship.

As the data terminals invaded all nearby devices on a large scale, those consoles that were in standby or dead state started to work one by one as if revived, and Hao Ren heard machine beeps and various system sounds one after another. . He saw two projectors flashing and turning on in front of him, and the holographic picture above the device showed the scene of outer space, and the Giant Turtle Rock appeared in the corner of one of the pictures: it seems that the terminal has acquired an external monitor permission.

The data terminal first tried to reset the host status of the spaceship and obtain control of the entire battleship, but it found that the host mode of this spaceship is a bit special, and it may take some time to completely take over. In order to avoid a complete loss of control, it locked it again The restart process of the mainframe of the starship turned to independently retrieve the data that looked like the monitoring in the ship.

Hao Ren and the others waited patiently by the side. As the terminal said, they didn't hold out much hope.

But today seems to be a lucky day, and it didn't take long for the data terminal to shout happily: "Found it!"

Hao Ren snapped his fingers: "On the big projection."

The terminal took over the control of one of the three large light beams. It temporarily blocked the constantly refreshing host status report on the light beam, and then transferred the monitoring system's screen to it.

The picture on the beam of light trembled a little, but it soon became stable again. It began to play a piece of video data that was left not long ago. Hao Ren saw that it was exactly the scene of the control hall, and it was before the crew abandoned the ship and escaped. left.

There was a busy scene in the control hall. The officers of the rebel army were busy giving orders and making plans on the command ship. There was a serious operator sitting in front of each work station. According to their actions, it was obvious that the ship was on the way. In a combat zone, and probably engaged in a battle.

Hao Ren and the others watched this scene intently, wanting to see what caused the huge change in the spaceship.

Then they saw a cloud of liquid suddenly appear in the center of the frame. (to be continued~^~)
