The Record of Unusual Creatures

In the dark universe, a weird group of exiles is sailing silently. They are composed of a huge number of aircraft, with a total of more than a dozen ships, and it seems to have been sailing for many years. The shapes of the aircraft are impressive. They have a short, thick outer shell covered in heavy gray-black armor. The armor can be seen as a neat, scale-like additional structure that lifts up and looks like It is a lot of blunt triangle short thorns. The size of each aircraft is incredibly large, and its scale is hundreds of kilometers. Due to the thick and gloomy armor, these aircraft look like a huge group of asteroids floating in the universe.

These aircraft don't know how many years they have been sailing in the universe. They are all exceptionally old and run down. Although the objects in space are not weathered, these huge ships have obviously experienced countless impacts, high temperatures, corrosion and plasma air masses. The baptism, the unevenness of the armor can be seen everywhere large and small scratches and missing parts, in one of the most damaged ship, the serious wounds of the outer shell even torn off a part of the armor layer, revealing the following sponge The same support structure Hao Ren believes that this is mostly the result of a powerful meteorite impact, and it may be worse. But even if the situation is so bad, the structure of these ships is basically complete. The sparse lights are distributed along their pitted surfaces, and various indication signals are flashing in space. These lights do not make the whole The fleet is a bit more angry, they just make this team even more weird and miserable.

But the light also shows one thing: these ancient aircraft are still running.

The fleet is advancing at a very slow pace. According to the traces previously discovered, it should have left the hyperspace state decades ago, and then after several decelerations, it has finally sailed to this day at this low speed. The reason for their departure from hyperspace is unclear, because there is nothing in this area that allows them to stay: there are no celestial bodies or docks for replenishment, no traces of civilization, and some are just nowhere. Lavender stardust that is not there. Perhaps the mechanical failure caused these ships to be separated from the speed of light speed navigation?

The giant turtle rock station slowly catches up with the fleet from the rear of the track cloud. It is close to one of the large aircraft. Although these aircraft are relatively primitive in technology, their size is enormous. The giant turtle rock platform hovered over the black armor belt that stretched out like that of a hummingbird. The pictures returned were all huge and rough ancient structures. Some strip lights shimmered slightly on the surface of the armor, and the proximity of the giant turtle rock number did not change the flickering of these lights: the aircraft did not react to the proximity of the unknown spacecraft.

"There is a radar that is illuminating the ship," Nolan's holographic projection magnified and became a real-life standing next to Hao Ren. She didn't know when she changed her image into a military uniform and reported the situation like a starship adjutant. . “There were seven radar sources coming from three different spacecraft, but no hostile response was found and no signal was found to activate the weapon system.”

Hao Ren looked at the picture from the external monitor. The giant turtle rock platform was slowly passing over a large aircraft. It was only a few hundred meters away from the outer shell of the latter. He saw the rough metal casing. Slowly retreat on the monitor screen like a piece of steel: "Is there a contact signal?"

"No, I have sent out the full frequency of the inquiry, but I have not received any response." Nolan shook his head. "But I intercepted the signals between these aircraft, and they still maintained communication with each other. Just... ”

Hao Ren's eyebrows pick: "What is it?"

Nolan put the intercepted signal on the holographic projection, and Hao Ren saw that it was a large regular symbol and number. When these things rolled quickly, he found that everything was just mechanistically repeated.

"Every aircraft is mechanically sending these things. The basic meaning is to confirm their position and system integrity. There is nothing else. I suspect this is an automatic signal."

In May, Nangong swayed with a long tail and climbed to the console. The tone was quite interesting: "So... ghost ship?"

Hao Ren glanced at her: "How excited are you when you say the ghost ship?"

"Fifty percent of the ghost ship legends in human history have been changed by the Kraken. The remaining 50% are sailors who drink high," Nangong swayed his tail and swayed in May. "It became a ghost ship to scare." People are our ethnic culture, do you understand ethnic culture?"

"Don't mention this in the past half-life of the sea monsters who have never been to the sea." Hao Ren waved his hand to the Nangong in May and then nodded to Nolan. "Can you find the entrance to these ships?"

“The deep scan shows that there is a groove in the waistline of the spacecraft below. It should be the entrance gate, but the size is not enough for the ship to enter: only a dozen meters wide.”

Hao Ren's mouth: "Hey... As a huge ship of hundreds of kilometers, this is really a small door. So let's go down, Nolan, you follow our signal, wait for us to go inside after you go inside. Prepare the conveyor for us to evacuate."

"Is it all going?" Vivian looked at the people on the bridge. The devils and ghosts who ate at Hao Ren’s house were all here today.

"Amount... just a few, you and Lily, and then..."

Hao Ren hasn't finished yet. Nangong Sanba suddenly stepped forward: "I am going with my sister. This place should be used by hunters and sirens."

Hao Ren thought for a moment and felt that the Nangong 38 said that it is obvious that it is not a guardian or a reversal spaceship, but a group of vagrants who fled from the catastrophic natural disaster, according to the fleet. In the case, the probability of becoming a ghost ship is quite high. What is needed in this environment is not high combat power, but people who are good at detecting and adapting to various environments. Nangong 38 is a hunter, and Nangong has an ever-changing water form in May. It is appropriate to explore the ghost ship.

Hao Ren handed the beanie to the "roll" and turned and walked to the transfer room: "The other people are on the spaceship first, and we will go down a few times."

The giant turtle Yantai came to the suspected entrance gate and hovered at a height of more than 100 meters from the "steel land", while Hao Ren and his party appeared along the surface of the mysterious spacecraft with a beam of light.

The surface of the spacecraft has almost no gravity, and the pedestrians are advancing with the help of auxiliary propulsion. Hao Ren looked up into the distance. He saw a piece of dark gray steel with a slightly curved shape extending in the field of vision. The distant star glimmer and the light gray interstellar dust cloud hang like the smudge on the distant screen. At the end of the steel horizon, some sporadic lights are dotted on several protruding structures far away from the earth, shining like a wildfire.

"Dead, heavy and dead..." Vivian said in the communicator, "I don't feel any life."

Hao Ren pressed the forehead angle: "Terminal, sharing vision."

The radar view of the data terminal immediately covers his human vision. He sees the "steel earth" in front of him suddenly becoming a complex layered structure, and many well-ordered lines outline the details below the outer shell. information. He found the position marked as the gate, and when he led the team close, he found that it was a wide **** that sloped downwards. The **** did not extend deep down. You can see that it looks like an extra heavy metal. barrier.

Before everyone came to the metal barrier, Lily ran across the wall with her claws and ran around in a circle, without finding anything suspected of controlling the device.

"Partner, do you want to explode?" the data terminal asked casually.

"No, find a normal way," Hao Ren waved his hand. "If there is a living person?"

"I don't like to study this stuff," Lily muttered. "He is big."

Hao Ren didn't say anything, just by sharing the visual search for nearby clues. He could see the mechanical structure beneath the surrounding metal plates. Under the heavy steel cover, there were some shallow trenches where pipes and lines were distributed, some of which should be the gate controllers. The data terminal is much faster than he can analyze. Soon, the pda finds the place where the activation switch is suspected according to the layout of the circuit around the gate, and marks it in Haoren's field of vision with a bold red color.

Hao Ren pointed to a metal plate on the wall next to it: "Take this place out and be careful not to hurt it."

Lily immediately floated forward, waving her own ice and claws, and quickly dismantled the metal plate, revealing the complicated old cable and substrate structure.

This device uses electricity.

Hao Ren found the key control circuit with the help of the data terminal. He carefully pulled the two cables off the substrate and asked Zhao Wei to come over: "Put the electricity, 28 VDC."

Vivian: "..."
