"This is a blank spaceship." Sandora looked at the dark and slanted abandoned corridor, and said in a deep voice that was almost talking to herself, "There is no place of affiliation, no number, and no military emblem... Who made it?" got this thing?"

Under the reminder of Sandora, I also noticed the weirdness of the details of this spaceship: we have been advancing in its outer corridor for more than ten minutes, and we have not seen any information along the way that can explain where the spaceship belongs , didn't even see anything with the device model and device code on it. The lack of attribution information can explain one or two things. Maybe this spaceship belongs to multi-space joint manufacturing, or its attribution is marked elsewhere, but there is no model information on the equipment embedded in the corridor, which is not normal. "Don't think so much, just move on." Sandora shook her head, temporarily putting this question aside, after all, we have only explored a short corridor of this ghost ship, and it would be too much to draw any conclusions. early.

A group of people continued along the corridor leading to the inner space of the spaceship. There was still no gravity and no air around them, and no lights could be seen. Devices capable of streaming light and flickering are completely silent. Because of the age, there is a faint layer of dust suspended in the corridor, which should be the result of something weathered and crushed, and it is unknown how long the dust has been floating in a weightless environment. Alaya released a soft halo centered on herself, the dust floating in the vacuum looked more conspicuous under the light, Lilina looked at the dust thoughtfully, she floated to the side wall and wiped it After picking it up, he rubbed his fingers lightly: "Organic matter, but it has been completely denatured."

I didn't understand at once: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it may be the 'ash' produced by the weathering of carbon-based biological corpses." Liliana replied indifferently, "There is nothing to weather on the imperial spaceship, and the shelf life of those equipment is in units of 100,000 years, so the weathered It can only be the crew of the spaceship. The corpses of the apostles of Xiling are as immortal as this spaceship. After being eliminated, the rest can only be the servants. The 'ash' in the corridor should come from the corpses. There should be air here when they are weathered. But now the gas has run out."

I quickly opened the shield to isolate the dust to the outside, Lilina shrugged when she saw me like this: "Boss, don't be so concerned, these dusts have been completely weathered and denatured, and now they are basically a bunch of large molecular clusters."

I thought about it, too, but I still felt uncomfortable: "How come this association still makes people feel uncomfortable?"

"Boss, you are hypocritical."

I:"… "

This corridor is longer than the previous one, and it may be because it is located in the damaged part of the spaceship. It looks a little skewed, and even has an abnormal bend in the middle, but it still remains intact, no cracks and no cracks. Break, which finally didn't cause us any more trouble. A group of people moved quickly along the passage, and this time they paid attention to any possible useful markers, but as Sandora said, they couldn't see anything that could indicate the information of the spaceship, and it was installed in the corridor There are no signs on the equipment.

We stopped before the second fork in the road. This fork in the shape of a T-shaped, facing the direction where everyone came, there is an embedded equipment cover that can be opened, about half a meter square, according to my experience Judging that it should be the prosecution point of these corridors. Lìlìna stepped forward and knocked on the silver-gray metal plate. Of course, the embedded device that lost its energy supply could no longer respond to this external stimulus, so Sandora stepped forward and directly inserted her finger into the upper edge of the metal plate, pulling it hard. Unloaded it.

After the cover is removed, what is exposed is a dull crystallized grid, and two hexagonal crystal panels that look no different from black quartz. The interactive holographic image that was originally displayed automatically after the cover is opened is of course There is no way to talk about it: this thing has completely lost its energy supply.

Sandora pressed her hand on one of the crystal panels, and after she input energy from the outside, that panel finally released a faint blue light, and then we saw that there were also faint lights flashing in the three corridors around, like a firefly. The blue light spots quickly flowed into the distance in the dark passage, followed by the second wave and the third wave of light spots: Sandora is using the most primitive but most effective method to detect the line of this corridor.

"The circuit is complete, but the energy supply is interrupted." Sandora retracted her hand, and the blue light spots swimming in the corridor soon disappeared. Throw them together into the void."

I looked at this lifeless place. The biggest difference between it and the imperial relics we had seen before was that it was completely "dead", without any signs of operation. The imperial relics we found in the past often carried residual energy in limited operation, but this place can't even see the sign of this "limited operation", which made me sigh in the spiritual connection: "What a wonderful thing!" A 'ghost' ship, it's completely dead."

"Not necessarily." Sandora shook her head slightly, "Its core area should still be running, and the parts that provide power to the engine module and the automatic navigation system are probably working as usual, otherwise, how could this thing jump around in various worlds?" Yes? I just don’t know how long we have to move forward to find a section with energy supply, this spaceship has a very unusual design, and I haven’t figured out what structure it is based on until now.”

"I still don't feel alive." Liliana stared at the dark corridor next to her, muttering in her spiritual connection, "The intuition is getting stronger and stronger. There must be some source of interference deep in this ship. That thing always There should be energy supply."

At this time, I was busy concentrating on scanning the entire spaceship, but I didn't have the knack of distinguishing life like Lilina and Ding Dong, so what I was looking for was the energy focus. After some scans, I found that there were faint psionic reactions more than ten kilometers away, but the reactions were subtle and weak, and I almost ignored them at first.

Everyone aimed at the core area of the spacecraft and accelerated their forward speed. The lifeless cabins on the periphery are really of no exploration value, so let the follow-up scouts and scientific research personnel study it. We passed through the long and deep alloy passages, crossed the twisted and flipped connecting sections, and sometimes even had to use violent means to cut holes in those passage control gates: the ship automatically closed the large interior in case of emergency. Part of the gates, and now these gates are all stuck without exception. Even if Sandora supplies them with external energy, these gates are difficult to start due to component failure and deformation, so we can only move forward while drilling holes: Sandora's The claws are so good, she scratches and scratches like a mole, but I dare not say it in front of her.

In this way, we moved forward for quite a long time. We passed through countless dark and dead functional cabins, and even passed a large building complex—this kind of spaceship tens of kilometers long, some of the extra-large spaces inside are built according to the style of towns. Yes, but those buildings now look like ghost towns—finally slowly approaching the core area of the spaceship, I can feel a weak energy flow in the surrounding facilities, and this good phenomenon makes me feel happy: Having energy means that some equipment is still operating normally, and the imperial equipment basically has a self-recording function. An ancient equipment that has been in operation since the old empire era can often reveal many secrets, so it is always exciting to find such an old antique happy.

The little crow also seemed to have sensed my good mood, or it was simply fun for this novel "adventure game". She happily flew in front of the team and floated fast. I kept telling the girl to slow down in the spiritual connection All had limited effects, but after passing through a gate, the little crow finally suffered a tragedy: her body floating in the air suddenly sank, and then fell to the ground firmly, sliding forward for six or seven meters in the posture of a dog chewing mud …

I saw this scene from behind, so of course I flew over to rescue, but the moment I passed the "little crow's landing point", I also felt my body sink, and the long-lost gravity suddenly hit me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and felt my body The moment it sank, I adjusted my posture and stood firmly on the ground, and then Sandora also fell to the ground next to me. We watched Lilina lie on the ground side by side, and slid out in the same posture as the stupid bird just now. …

Lìlìna was just busy looking for the life response, and didn't even notice that the artificial gravity in front of her had been restored. Otherwise, with her agility, how could she make the same mistake as that stupid bird? .

I stepped forward to pick up the girls and loli duo who had finished gliding, and patted them clean one by one, and said to Sandora in the spiritual connection: "There is artificial gravity in this place, it seems that the energy supply will be restored here."

"Don't use the spirit to connect." Sandora said suddenly, "Didn't you find that there is air here?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then I noticed that this place can not only walk upright, but also open mouth to breathe, and the surrounding temperature has also risen: it should be around zero degrees, which is very cold for people on earth, but it is obviously a place that can supply carbon. The temperature at which base organisms survive. Other than still being dark, the subsistence environment here seems to be completely normal.

I looked at the last gate I just passed through. It was open without any barriers, but the air pressure and temperature were maintained on one side of the gate, and the space environment was on the other side. This obviously used the invisible environment circle technology. This technology is very common in imperial facilities, but in most cases it is applied on open platforms exposed outside the facility, and this is the first time I have seen it used in a spaceship: Is this ship's From the very beginning, the designer considered that the spaceship would be torn apart one day, so he designed the subdivision section to create a living area

"The layout of this place doesn't look like a warship, but rather an immigrant ship on a long voyage." Sandora didn't pay attention to the problem of the survival area, she just observed the layout here with the holy light released by Alaya, everyone now It is a large hall with no obvious function, but it is definitely not a place like a strategic center or a command post. There are not so many terminals here, and there are no large-scale holographic equipment. All the seats in the hall are far apart. Far away, scattered distribution, this is obviously not the layout of the military command office, but more like...

An activity center for civilians to rest and relax.

Sandora obviously thought so too. She wandered around the hall, looking for any signs that could explain the origin and function of this strange spaceship, while Liliana put Jingle on top of her head, and the two formed a combination and began to search for it. The nearby life responded, Alaya continued to act as a lighting device dutifully, and I was adjusting the brightness for Alaya.

At this moment, a deep sound of "bang bang bang" suddenly sounded from all directions. Before I could understand what was going on, the hall was suddenly brightly lit: the lighting in this place has been restored? !

With the recovery of the lighting and the energy supply, it naturally returned to normal. The equipment and facilities in various places in the hall started up one after another as if they were just waking up from hibernation. The virtual information screen, the data terminal in the center of the hall [〖〗〗] also brightened up and started to play the standby screen, a low and soft sound came from all directions, this sound did not seem like the sound of the device starting up, but It's just the audio played out, and I don't know what it means.

We were taken aback by the sudden activation of the equipment here, and Lilina quickly looked around: "Where is that, where are the ghosts on the ghost ship?"

I pressed the head of this nonsense little girl, but my heart was also very confused, wondering if there was some dormant device in this hall that sensed our arrival and activated itself, but just as I was thinking this way, I heard something in the distance. There was a cry of "嘎嘿", looking around, it turned out that Madison did not know when she ran to a gate at the end of the hall, where the little girl was happily waving her hands and yelling vigorously: "Master, Ga! As soon as you press this, everything lights up!"

I ran over quickly and saw that the little crow was pressing a hand on a crystal panel next to the gate, and a large amount of data was swimming quickly on the wall next to the panel. After a cursory scan, I found that it was all showing the various sections of the spaceship. The status report is just like the self-inspection report of the ship that is automatically made after the host of the spacecraft is restarted. After a long time, it was the little crow that activated this place.

Sandora also heard the sound and rushed over at this time, she was confused when she saw the situation here: "How did you activate these things, little bird?"

"Just put your claws... just press your hand on it!" The little crow looked very elated when she knew that she had made a contribution. She pointed at the crystal panel with gestures. You can use La Ga by pressing your hand on it?"

It turns out that the little crow confuses this spaceship with the civilian facilities she saw in Shadow City. This bird still doesn't quite understand what the authority system is, but I can see that something is wrong: the empire-made The starships are all controlled by a strict authority system. The person who can activate this hall must be the original owner of the spaceship. Why does the little crow put his hand on the identifier, and this place is activated like this

You must know that this crystal panel is not a simple light switch, it has just fully activated the energy supply of all the equipment here, and now it is displaying the self-inspection report of the spacecraft! This thing is obviously connected to the shipboard main engine!

Just when Sandora and I were looking at each other, thinking that the permission system here had failed, Lilina suddenly pointed to the side and shouted: "Boss, there are words here!"

I looked in the direction of lìlina's finger, and found that there was a sign hanging on the gate next to it, which said in Xilingwen: "The last reminder: You have come to the activity hall, you can Rest and relax here, and follow the lights to find your workshop. Now press your hand on the fluorescent panel next to the door, the system is unlocked, and anyone who wakes up can activate the device here. Don't worry about the confusion in your head, That's a normal hangover and it will dissipate shortly after the audio broadcast."

This sign emits a constant glow, it seems that it was on even when it was dark just now, but our attention was placed elsewhere so no one saw it, only the little crow noticed and was attracted by the light of this sign Attracted: Crows always like shiny things.

"Does anyone know that we are coming to Ga?" The little crow shook my arm, "And left us a message?"

"No, it's not for us" Sandora can tell what the words mean at a glance "It's for some people on this spaceship, 'anyone who wakes up', this is for those who wake up A reminder to people who are in the spaceship. Think about it, we entered this spaceship from the outside, so the messages we see should be the last ones for those who go out from the inside of the spaceship... According to what is written on it, it should still be There should be another message."

"It's simple." I vaguely had some thoughts in my mind, "Just look backwards."

According to the content of the sign, if someone comes out from somewhere and sees the words on the sign, and then activates the equipment in the hall, then this person can only enter the hall through the gate in front of us.

Sanduo stretched her hand on the alloy door, and the alloy door immediately slid open without a sound: This thing can indeed be used, and there is no limit.

Behind the alloy door is a bright corridor, but I don't know if the light in this corridor has been on all the time or was activated by the little crow just now, lìlìna has sharp eyes, and she soon saw another light on the wall of the corridor next to her. The signboard reads: "New reminder: You have passed through the second corridor, and the event hall is ahead. Press your hand on the automatic door."

it is as expected.
