The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

In the record stored in the dormant cabin, there is no mention of what happened, not even a video record, but most of the colonists returned to the space capsule and entered the dormant cabin for dormancy. The time coincided with the time when the Pris colony disappeared in Leo's memory.

After that, the people on the colonial star were in a dormant state for a long time until a new person entered the dormant cabin for dormancy. The time span of warehouse use records is as high as 12,000 years.

Later, the use of other idle dormant cabins was recorded one after another, and these dormant cabins were used by those Jiaka people without exception.

After reading these records, Leo couldn't help but have some doubts.

First of all, from the records, all the vacant hibernation chambers that Leo saw before were in use, and the users should still be in the dormancy chambers.

Secondly, the users who log in when those Jaka-like people use the dormant chamber are the identities of the former colonists, not the new identities.

In the end, from the time when the colonists entered the dormant cabin for refuge after the accident on the Colonial Planet Pris, until the Garcas used the dormant cabin again, there was an interval of more than 12,000 years. What happened in the past 12,000 years What's the matter.

Leo quickly reorganized the recorded information in his mind, and then came up with a very bold guess, so he came back to the dormant chambers where the frozen corpses of the Jaka people were stored, and he put these Jaka people together. He compared his appearance with the information in his mind, and got the desired result.

After that, he randomly checked more than a dozen vacant dormant cabins one by one, and also got the desired result.

And these two results just confirmed the bold guess made by Leo, that is, these Jaka-like people are actually human beings, and they are all the colonists of this space capsule.

Leo didn't know what happened after the accident on the Pris colony, but he only knew that when most of the colonists returned to the dormant cabin for dormancy, some people stayed in the space capsule to deal with emergencies .

However, for unknown reasons, those who stayed behind turned into Jaka-like people, and also gained the long life of Jaka people, so they lived for more than 10,000 years, and their appearance did not change because of the transformation. But there are too many changes, so they still have the appearance of the human period, and when they enter the dormant warehouse, they still use the identity of the human period.

And these colonists who have transformed into Jarkas should also try to transform the humans in other dormant chambers together, but they don’t know whether other humans agree to transform, so they can only wake up the dormant humans one by one, and then take them to Transformation. From this point, it can be seen that these Jiaka-like people should have mastered a set of safe transformation methods.

It’s just that the early dormant cabin system adopted a sequence system in order to reduce repeated control codes. When a dormant cabin is activated from a dormant state, hundreds of dormant cabins in the same sequence will be activated at the same time. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, those who have already The colonists who turned into Gaka-like could only crack the dormant chambers one by one, and extract the dormant ones one by one. That's why Leo saw obvious and identical traces of dismantling and cracking on those dormant chambers.

In the end, it is not known whether those humans who were taken away completed the transformation and became Jaka-like people. At least from the current situation, things do not seem to be developing in the direction that the Jaka-like people hoped, otherwise If so, these dormant cabins should be all those Jaka-like people, instead of being vacant one by one.

In addition, a new question also appeared in Leo's mind at this time.

According to the information in Leo's memory, although the early colonial space capsules of the Earth Federation like the present one were equipped with the most advanced recycling energy core at that time, which could repeatedly use the core energy through various energy collection and recycling devices, this recycling energy core The longest recorded usage time is only more than 4,000 years, and this was done in the lowest energy consumption mode of the core. It is impossible to use the energy core in the lowest energy consumption mode in the case of colonizing space capsules, so According to common sense, the space capsule should have been exhausted by now.

But now the energy situation of the space capsule is obviously more like it is in the normal use mode, and there is no sign of depletion at all. In addition, Leo found that the space capsule has been modified before, so he can't help suspecting that after the accident on Pris Colony, , the people who stayed behind upgraded the space capsule as a whole.

But where did their upgraded technology come from? While this question appeared in Leo's mind, the image of the Gaka also appeared.

Leo searched in the dormant area again, cracked the independent data storage of several dormant compartments, and browsed through the contents, but found no useful information.

However, he obtained the structural diagram of the entire space capsule by connecting to the main control system at the exit of the dormant area, and also found that the Otto Federation except for a few cabins in the space capsule itself has been opened and all the equipment is in an active state. Except for the room, none of the other closed rooms have ever been opened, and these rooms also include the main control room.

After discovering this, Leo did not take the safe passage, but left directly from the entrance and exit, took the normal passage inside the spaceship, and soon came to the main control room on the second floor. Coincidentally, the main control room was just above the It is the cabin where the Zero relic is stored.

Leo easily opened the door of the main control room through a special code. After entering, he was a little dumbfounded, because the main control room in front of him was different from the main control room of any Earth Federation spacecraft in his memory. The control room is full of crystals, and the place that should have been the main console is a bare crystal platform and some small crystal pillars.

At first glance, it cannot be a human instrument. As for whether it is an instrument of the Jaka people, Leo is not sure, after all, he has never seen a Jaka people's spaceship.

However, he tried to take out two information interface stickers from the general recorder, and pasted them on the crystal pillar that looked like a console, to see if he could use the general recorder to analyze the origin of this thing and interpret the data in it.

This kind of universal recorder is a product of the Supreme Council of the universe. Almost as long as the main control system of the space civilization is recorded, it can be connected through the universal recorder. Leo used this tool very well before.

However, this time there was an accident. The general recorder gave Leo the information that the main control system was higher than the general recorder, and it was unable to link the system normally and read data.

You must know that even the main control system of a spaceship of a medium civilization in the universe cannot avoid the link of the general-purpose recorder, but now the general-purpose recorder has given such information, so it can only show that the main control system contained in this crystal pillar belongs to the general-purpose recorder. The main control system of advanced civilization, and only in this way will the general-purpose recorder fail.

Although it failed to read the system data, Leo was not too disappointed. At least this also proved that these crystal pillars probably came from the Jaka people, and they were assembled by the Jaka people themselves.

Thinking of this, Leo has no intention of staying here any longer, because no matter how long he stays and how many methods he tries, it is impossible to forcibly erase the distinction between authority levels and read the data in the crystal pillar. All he needed to do was to go to the next location to find more clues, and the location he had identified from the beginning happened to be the warehouse of the space capsule.

The warehouse of the space capsule is located at the bottom of the space capsule, and it is also the largest compartment in the space capsule. It not only needs to store all kinds of heavy equipment needed to colonize the planet, but also needs to store various materials needed for survival.

However, as the space capsule arrived at the colony, the contents of the warehouse should have been removed long ago, and the warehouse should have been vacant. Later, when the accident happened suddenly, people at that time probably would not have thought of replenishing the warehouse and storing supplies, so the warehouse It should also be empty.

If it is said which part of the entire colony space capsule is most suitable for transforming into a laboratory for conducting human transformation experiments on thousands of people, then this bottom warehouse should be a unique choice.

Therefore, when he first discovered this warehouse, the idea of ​​transforming it into a laboratory immediately appeared in Leo's mind.

Through a track elevator from the main control room to the warehouse, Leo went directly to the warehouse at the bottom of the space capsule.

When the warehouse door was opened, the exit happened to be on the upper platform of the warehouse, and the whole warehouse could be seen at a glance, and the scene in front of him confirmed Leo's previous guess that the warehouse was indeed transformed into a human transformation laboratory.

I saw that in the warehouse, containers and tanks used for biological experiments were placed in the warehouse with steam, and each tank was connected with a large number of pipelines and conduits. It was densely packed like an early mining spaceship of the Earth Federation. similar to the internal structure.

Leo's mental net swept through these jars immediately, and scanned the dead human bones in the jars.

Except for a small number of these skeletons who still roughly maintain their human form, most of the rest of the bodies have mutated, and some of them have completed the mutation, which is no different from the pseudo-Gaka people, but there are still some people who are still in the process of mutation and at the beginning of the mutation. , only a few places in the body have mutated.

However, what is interesting is that the human beings in these containers did not die from equipment problems like the Gaka-like people in the dormant chamber, but were killed one by one in the containers with energy weapons.

Moreover, Leo also saw some discarded energy weapon magazines next to some damaged containers. Judging from the shape and number of the magazines, these magazines should be the 7989 assault energy weapons of the Earth Federation standard.

But the problem is that the standard 7989 assault energy weapon was manufactured after the Earth Federation entered the sequence of medium-sized cosmic civilizations, imitating the energy weapons of a certain external civilization, which is quite different from the time period in which this space capsule was located.

Therefore, Leo guessed that after the accident on the Pris colony, there were also spaceships from the Earth Federation that came here.

This is not something incomprehensible, because according to records, after the disappearance of the Pris colony, the Earth Federation sent a lot of exploration spacecraft to search for the accident star field, but most of the spacecraft came back with nothing. , only a small number of spaceships also disappeared.

At that time, no one connected the disappearance of these exploration spacecraft with the disappearance of the Pris colony. After all, in an environment like space, any kind of accident may happen. Some spacecraft suddenly lost contact, and disappearing is also an attempt. It is no exaggeration to say that the Earth Federation has thousands of spaceships disappearing without a trace due to various unexpected accidents every year, so it is not a big deal to have more than a dozen exploration spaceships all the time.

However, now it seems that some exploration spaceships should have come here back then, and found those Gaka-like people, and mistakenly thought that they were aliens who were experimenting with humans, so they launched an attack on these people, and in order to avoid the ongoing The people in the transformation experiment threatened them, and simply killed all the people who were undergoing transformation and debugging, whether they were transformed or not, and they were all killed.

In addition, a very special experimental container was also placed at the end of the modified laboratory below. It is not difficult to infer from the details such as the size of the container and the equipment inside, that a real experimental container should have been placed in this container. Jakar, only now it's empty.

Leo quickly went down to the ground and checked the status of some containers. Because they were pierced by energy weapons, all the containers were in a damaged state, and the culture fluid and other substances that caused the mutation had all evaporated.

In addition, the attacker at that time also destroyed all the main control equipment of the laboratory, and took away all the database equipment of the laboratory, which also made it impossible for Leo to quickly understand what happened that year by reading the data. What's up.

The only good news is that those tanks are not completely destroyed. This kind of old-fashioned modified tanks all have their own data storage devices. Although these devices are only auxiliary devices, the stored data is not too much, and they are just some key test data. , but compared to nothing, this data is better than nothing for Leo.

Therefore, Leo connected the tanks one by one through the universal recorder, and read the various data recorded in the tanks.

As Leo had guessed before, all the data read were boring experimental data, without any value, but between these boring experimental data, some video data were also recorded, and these video data were all experimenters. When reading the relevant data, the identity of the person who read the data was recorded through the recorder outside the container, so Leo was able to see the faces of some of the experimenters and the content of their brief conversation, and then confirmed his previous It is guessed that those Jiaka-like people are indeed conducting transformation experiments for these humans.

In addition, after sorting out these videos, Leo discovered many interesting things after reviewing them. The first is that the space capsule was not underground at the time. It will come out of the fog and attack the people in the space capsule.
