Alien Relic Hunter

Of course, an important reason for the successful signing of the Antarctic Treaty was the successful development of space-based kinetic energy weapons - this kind of "kinetic energy cannon" deployed in low-Earth orbit is terrifyingly powerful and extremely difficult to intercept. Any occupation of ground targets will All will lose their meaning in the face of a cannonball of a space-based kinetic energy weapon. The war between major ZZ entities has gradually transformed from the competition for various surface fortresses into an offensive and defensive war surrounding space-based kinetic energy weapon satellites.

It makes people feel a little ridiculous when talking about it. At that time, human civilization had already entered the era of "space war" before it even left the solar system.

The form of war is always the one with the fastest development and progress among all fields.

As for the outbreak of the solar crisis and the various ZZ entities abandoning their prejudices and coming together to start the construction plan of the Ark, that was already very late.

Ke Lan continued to supplement and improve this memory fragment while killing and devouring the zombies that rushed into the space barrier.

He is now basically certain that this is a spaceship built by human civilization - not because the shape of the spacecraft is similar to that of human civilization, but because on the right side of the bow of the spacecraft, this ship is printed with English letters and Arabic numerals. The ship's hull number.

"GCY0906"

The GCY at the front is not in English but the abbreviation of Chinese Pinyin, which means "for engineering use"-this shows that this is an engineering ship rather than a warship.

The hull length of this engineering ship is about 150 meters, and there is no emblem of any force on the surface. This was a very rare thing in the old era: During the energy war, both parties involved in the war dropped a large amount of information interference in low-Earth orbit. Devices, especially in some fiercely contested war zones, radio communications are almost completely unusable, and the only communication method is laser communications. However, the biggest problem of laser communications has been mentioned many times, the transmitter and receiver of the laser. There must be no obstructions between the vehicles. In low-Earth orbit, which has a complex environment and is full of space junk, the restrictions are actually very high.

Many times, the space forces of each participating war party rely on visual inspection to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and radar has become a decoration. Reconnaissance work relies more on high-speed space fighters and drones... Technology is constantly developing, but the mode of war is like It's like going back to the European naval battles of the 18th century...

In this case, it is necessary to identify the emblems on the surface of the spacecraft or battleships - the appearance of the main battleships and combat vehicles of each participating party is actually not very different. When the battle situation is tight, after capturing the enemy battleship After being slightly modified and put into the battlefield, no matter which side it is, there are a large number of warships built by other forces in the fleet. If there are no paintings or emblems used to identify the enemy and ourselves, even if they are operating in our safe zone, they will not It is possible to be intercepted or even attacked by friendly forces.

There is no identifying painting or emblem for an engineering spacecraft... then there is only one possibility: this spacecraft was built in the "Ark Era".

In this era, the hostility between the major ZZ entities on the earth has basically been lifted. Except for some minor frictions in some areas, all technology and resources have been tilted towards the construction of the Ark... …This is an unprecedented period of unity for mankind. During this period, it doesn’t matter even if there is no identifying emblem of the force to which it belongs on the spaceship.

The only people who will hinder the Ark construction project are those called "resistance forces", but the influence of the "resistance forces" is only limited to the earth, and all channels to space are firmly controlled by major ZZ entities. With control, it will be difficult for those who resist the forces to go to space, and it will also be difficult to obtain ships or fighter planes that can launch terrorist attacks in space.

Could this spaceship have been involved in the construction of Noah's Ark?

Ke Lan remembered very clearly that after the Ark set sail, a large number of people who stayed behind were not willing to be buried with the earth. They drove the ships used in building the Ark and escaped with the remaining energy of the accelerating star gate. The solar system...could this engineering ship be one of the many ships escaping from the solar system?

No wonder even the lighting facilities inside the ship were turned off... On this kind of voyage with almost no end in sight, every bit of energy is extremely valuable, especially after being far away from the sun and trying to gain it in the dark and cold space. Energy is simply as difficult as reaching the sky.

Could it be that these zombies were once escapees from this engineering ship?

That's not right... Logically speaking, the possibility of these ships escaping from the solar system to survive the space voyage is basically zero. Even if they can find an impulse near the solar system and are not discovered by humans and Ark, with these The structural strength of the ship simply cannot withstand the space storm when passing through the wormhole.

To take a step back, even if one ship is extremely lucky and relies on inertial navigation to reach the star field where Alpha Star is located... But at this time, there is no way that there are still people alive on the ship, even in the end A group of crew members decided to cryopreserve human embryos. During the long journey, the cryogenic chamber would also stop working due to lack of energy.

What's more, these zombies are still wearing the uniforms of the field corps.

But why... what I absorbed from these zombies was the memory of this escaped engineering ship?

Is there something wrong with it, or is the trial procedure of this Tower of Babel intentional?

Ke Lan didn't know, he could only choose to absorb more zombies and continue to complete this memory.

…

It seems that a long time has passed, and the engineering ship sailing in space has become more and more dilapidated. A large number of dents and holes caused by meteorites have appeared on the originally flat hull shell, and the thruster nozzles of several main engines have also become damaged. There are traces of the explosion and fire... Obviously, during the period of memory loss, this engineering ship should have encountered many unexpected situations... But at least, the entire ship has not disintegrated, and the survivors on the ship have not yet directly faced To the cold, dark space environment without oxygen and filled with deadly radiation.

…

Another period of time passed. The survivors on the engineering ship were lucky. They found an asteroid rich in ore resources. The entire engineering ship docked directly on this asteroid with a diameter of less than one kilometer, autonomously. Resource collection robots were sent out to dig out a large number of mines on the surface of the asteroid.

There seemed to be metallurgical engineers among the survivors. A crude smelting factory made of several metal containers was built on the asteroid. The ore mined by robots was transported to the factory, and the metal smelted was to repair the damaged hull.

The light of the star comes from the distant star field. Although it is very weak, it at least solves the urgent problem of energy shortage. Foldable photovoltaic panels cover almost half of the asteroid - in the desperate situation, it seems to have ignited again. A glimmer of hope.

But what makes Ke Lan a little puzzled is that no human figure appears in the images in the memory fragments from beginning to end - whether it is during the voyage of the spacecraft or when it is docked on an asteroid, mining minerals and smelting metals, there is not even a single one. A human figure appears in the picture.

Ke Lan even had the illusion that the autonomous resource-gathering robots that mined minerals were the only "living creatures" on this engineering ship.
