Age of Cataclysm: I can light up the technology tree

The next day.

A piercing alarm sounded inside the Luan Bird.

Gao Yang and Zhao Zijie opened their eyes almost at the same time and looked at the holographic image next to the bed.

"Fuck! What's going on?!"

The picture of the camera at the bottom of the starship appeared in front of the two.

Looking at the slightly strange picture, Gao Yang was slightly startled.

After reacting, his face changed drastically and he exclaimed loudly.

"Fuck!! We are flooded?!"

"One, what's going on?!" Zhao Zijie asked directly, "Is the calculation wrong?"

The mechanical electronic voice of One sounded immediately: "Affected by various complex factors, the scale of the ocean tide is far beyond expectations."

"Complex factors? What factors?" Gao Yang asked subconsciously.

The holographic image changed again.

This time it was the camera picture on the top of the starship.

A huge wave rushed towards the camera and hit the hard shell of the Luan Bird hard.

"Storm?" Zhao Zijie muttered to himself.

"Yes." As Yi's voice sounded, a series of complex data appeared in the holographic image in front of the two people.

"Affected by Saturn's gravity and temperature difference, a relatively strong hurricane has formed on the surface of Titan."

"The density of the methane ocean is low and it is easily affected by the hurricane, which leads to a relatively large error in the calculation results."

"Hiss..." Zhao Zijie took a breath, "Don't talk about these nonsense, just tell me where the sea water will rise."

"The data is being recalculated..."

The simulation screen appeared in front of the two.

"Boil..." Gao Yang looked at the simulation screen in front of him and swallowed hard, "This tm, it directly drowned half of the Luan Bird!"

"Yi, evaluate the impact of this incident." Zhao Zijie, who was dressed, looked solemn and walked quickly towards the cockpit.

The holographic interface followed his footsteps and floated in the air.

"Captain, the evaluation results are out."

Zhao Zijie turned his head and glanced at the evaluation interface.

When he saw the results clearly, he couldn't help but stop his steps.

"Yi, are you sure?"

"Yes, Captain, I am sure." Yi's response sounded again.

"What, what happened? What is the evaluation result?" Gao Yang hurriedly ran to Zhao Zijie and asked hurriedly.

"...Look for yourself."

As he said, Zhao Zijie stretched out his hand to swipe the holographic interface and sent it to Gao Yang.

"No impact?! Huh?!"

Gao Yang's eyes widened, looking at the holographic interface in front of him in disbelief.

"According to the evaluation, the Luanniao starship and the extraction device have excellent sealing performance, and the seawater is composed of liquid methane, so there will be no problem even if the Hall thruster is submerged..."

"Zijie, what do you think?" Gao Yang turned his head to look at Zhao Zijie beside him.

"Me?" Zhao Zijie's mouth twitched, "I choose to let Zero see it."

"One, send a communication request to Mars."

...

"So, there is nothing wrong with One's assessment?"

Zhao Zijie glanced at the stormy waves outside the porthole with his peripheral vision, and asked in a low voice: "Will this incident really have no impact on the starship and the extraction device?"

"Yes, Captain Zhao Zijie." Zero's unique electronic synthesized voice sounded in the cockpit.

"Please don't be deceived by the wind and waves outside."

"Although the waves formed by liquid methane are huge, they can't shake the Luanniao starship at all."

"As for the extraction equipment, the fixed device can fully guarantee its safety."

"Okay." Zhao Zijie turned his head again and looked at the huge waves hitting the porthole, "I have no problem."

"Okay, I wish you a happy life and smooth work."

After the voice fell, the long-distance communication was automatically cut off.

Zhao Zijie turned around and looked at Gao Yang.

"Calm down, nothing will happen, just take it as a vacation at the seaside."

Gao Yang: "..."

"You call this a seaside vacation?"

Countless waves spread on the porthole of the starship.

The torrential rain formed by methane fell from the sky and poured on the surface of Titan.

In the deep sky, a dazzling lightning flashed from time to time.

It was like a scene of the end of the world.

Faced with Gao Yang's question, Zhao Zijie shrugged helplessly and took out a bag of potato chips from the cabinet beside him: "What else can I do?"

"Since you can't resist it, just enjoy it."

"What's more, according to Zero's calculation, this storm will only last for three days."

...

The next day.

It has to be said that human beings are extremely adaptable to the environment.

Gao Yang, who was originally worried about the harsh environment outside, completely adapted to this violent environment after one day.

He even took countless selfies standing in front of the porthole.

"I say, why do you take so many selfies?" Zhao Zijie put the bag of potato chips into the garbage bag, sucking his fingers and said, "You are not going to post a circle of friends, are you?"

Gao Yang operated the watch and said as a matter of course: "Isn't this nonsense?"

"Look, the circle of friends I posted this morning has received hundreds of likes, and many drivers have left messages below!"

"What did they say?" Zhao Zijie leaned over curiously.

"Most of them expressed their envy, and many people are preparing to apply to work on Titan." Gao Yang reached down and pulled the messages in the circle of friends.

Zhao Zijie: "..."

"Hey, um, take two photos for me."

Just as the two were laughing, the familiar alarm sounded again.

"Warning!"

"The extraction device is blocked, please go to clear the conduit immediately."

A rigid voice echoed in the cockpit.

The smile on Zhao Zijie's face gradually faded, and a strong doubt climbed his face.

"Blocked?"

"Why is it blocked?"

He ran to the captain's seat in two steps and stretched out his hand in the air.

The holographic image immediately responded to his action.

The 3D modeling diagram of the entire extraction device appeared in front of the two.

A huge red dot appeared at the opening of the conduit.

That was the location of the blockage.

"Could it be mud and sand?" Zhao Zijie looked confused.

"It shouldn't be..." Gao Yang frowned and whispered to himself, "How could a two-meter diameter pipe be blocked by mud and sand?"

Looking at the extraction device that had been shut down urgently, Zhao Zijie's eyes were even more confused.

"Forget it, don't guess what it is yet."

"We can't get out in this environment outside, let's wait until the tide recedes."

As he spoke, he reached out and pressed the button on the console, preparing to cut off the power to the extraction device.

"The blockage has been cleared." Yi's rigid voice sounded again.

The extraction device in emergency shutdown state started working again.

"???"

Zhao Zijie and Gao Yang were confused.

What the hell?

"Is this considered...recovery?" Gao Yang said cautiously, "No problem, right?"

As soon as the voice fell, the alarm sounded again.

"The extraction device is detected to be blocked..."

"Damn it!"

Zhao Zijie pressed the button on the console without any hesitation.

A few minutes later, the alarm stopped abruptly.

"The blockage has been cleared."

Yi's reminder sounded again in the quiet cockpit.
