Mysteries: Arcana Wars

The satellite stretched out its wings, showing a working posture. This posture is only used when the surface of the starry sky is operating normally. Now, the satellite is firmly embedded in the mutated brick wall and fell deep into the ground, but it still maintains a roaming posture.

The wall is like a surging wave and swaying limbs, holding the satellite tightly in a vital posture amid distortion and movement, as if it had crossed the sea of ​​stars and picked the satellite up from the ground to the starry sky.

The entire machine looked quite old. The solar panels and metal shell on the outside had begun to break, showing strange red rust. Most of the equipment had been disabled, with only some indicator lights still moving regularly. These should be devices designed specifically for some emergency situations. Their purpose was to preserve core data and send out distress signals to wait for recovery and rescue.

Obviously, any ordinary signal or extraordinary contact can hardly escape from this furniture city, and this dilapidated satellite can only wait alone for the emergency power to run out.

Klein walked forward and observed carefully in the light of the fire. The technology of this satellite seemed to be a little behind the present, and it was far from being as compact and flexible as the satellites of today. In this space where everything was distorted, this satellite was well preserved, as if it was protected by some force. But as time and electricity passed, the end of the photovoltaic panel wing on the left side had begun to be corroded by the cement and rotten bricks of the brick wall.

Unable to determine the current status of the satellite in front of him, Klein did not dare to touch it directly. The table leg he had picked up before had been lost on the way to escape several times. Klein fumbled around and finally took out the long Western Continent pipe with an obsidian ring hanging from his pocket, and used it as a stick to knock on the body of the machine a few times.

A familiar concept emerged from the keyboard warrior's half-baked knowledge base.

This thing that keeps flashing, can’t it be a black box?

Klein immediately turned his pipe over, and after figuring out the mechanism, he took out a Void Match and put it in his hand, then stepped forward and removed the flashing machine.

pat.

A palm-sized box was taken off the bloated satellite body. Klein found the satellite's nameplate on the body.

【Rupert-CO095】

【Abraham Group】

Rupert-CO095...

Klein tried hard to remember the number.

Before his memory was awakened, Klein's company, Speedy Feather, was working on a project involving Abraham communications satellites and positioning satellites, and he had some impression of satellites starting with "Rupert".

These are all satellites from the Abraham Group's satellite constellation [Rupert's Web]. [Rupert's Web] is a commercial satellite strategic system of Abraham, which has multiple functional satellites such as communication satellites, positioning satellites, and weather satellites.

However, Klein had not been in the industry for long. He only knew that in the Rupert's Network system, "Rupert-CO" represented a communication satellite and "Rupert-NA" represented a navigation satellite. He learned this information when he was programming the tractor. Klein did not know the other satellite numbering rules. He would have to ask Fors about this now.

When writing the operating program, Klein remembered that the communication satellite codes he called up at that time were all over 095. The CO satellite in front of him was only numbered , which meant it was an old satellite that was launched in the th or th century of the millennium.

According to Klein's knowledge of the Sixth Epoch, the satellite technology level during this period was slightly higher than what he remembered from the old days. However, the satellites still had a short service life, and seemed to be around ten to twenty years.

According to the information provided by Pales, the McConnell Furniture City experienced a huge explosion in 1106, suffered an extraordinary subsidence and went underground, becoming a dead underground city.

It seems that all of this can be linked together. In 1106, during the normal service period of the [Rupert-CO095] communications satellite, an extraordinary disaster occurred on the surface of the starry sky. The mutated satellite fell with pollution all the way. Perhaps because of the influence of extraordinary power, the satellite did not fall normally from the atmosphere of the real world, but something else prevented it from being damaged by atmospheric friction. Finally, the polluted satellite "fell" into the McConnell Furniture City, causing an explosion and extraordinary disaster. The once bright and lively furniture city began to sink and distort, and finally became an uninhabited underground city full of pollution and danger.

But looking at this hideous wall, it seems that the pollution has not completely engulfed the satellite.

Klein currently did not have any equipment that could read the black box information. At the same time, he was somewhat wary of the black box that had been fished out from extraordinary disasters and extraordinary pollution.

【Data can be dangerous.】

This piece of advice seemed particularly terrifying in the information age. Even if he had the equipment, Klein didn't dare to read the information directly here, for fear that the data stored here had been contaminated by the Extraordinary.

But there is another way.

【Match of Nothingness】.

This made Klein hesitate.

It seemed that when facing these seemingly troublesome pollutions, he was a little too dependent on the box of matches of unknown origin. Klein felt that this was not a good sign. On the one hand, he began to have more and more doubts about the source of the matches and the source of the black smoke; on the other hand, he seriously suspected that his increasingly severe hallucinations were also related to the black smoke summoned by these matches.

In the end, Klein gave up lighting the match. Unlike other contaminated objects in the furniture store, this satellite did not fuse with the wall very much, nor was it completely indestructible. It should not have become an extraordinary object, but something was vaguely protecting it.

Then this black box should be safe and pollution-free, because it is something that needs to be preserved until the last moment. Thinking of this, Klein held the matches in both hands and further disassembled the outer shell of the black box.

This black box records all the data of the satellite from the time it left the factory to the time it crashed and shut down. Since it belongs to the Abraham family, it would be better to give it to Fors for safekeeping. But before giving it to her completely, it would be best to go back to the apartment safe house and study it carefully.

The black box is only the size of a palm. It is not actually black, but painted a bright yellow color, which makes it easier to find at the disaster site. It often has various strong physical properties to ensure that it can survive a disaster and safely pass the recorded data to the rescue workers later.

As the outer shell was removed, all the contents were revealed before Klein's eyes. The inside of the black box was relatively clean, with no abnormal distortion visible to the naked eye, and even very little dust. Interface, nameplate, interface, interface, indicator light, interface...

There is also a metallic, pill-sized ball embedded in the small card slot in the center.

With the limited knowledge of roaming technology that Klein had, he couldn't think of any function that could match this little pill. So Klein simply used two matches as chopsticks to pick up the small metal ball and carefully observed it by the light of the fire.

"Hey, Hermann, what did you just do?"

Fors, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly got up.

“That ticking sound that was giving me a headache suddenly disappeared!”
