I have no pheromones, you smelled wrong

"Can it learn?..."

As soon as Zhou Pingbo asked, his mind realized something was wrong. Even if this metal box has the ability to learn, it has been locked in a safe for a long time, and it is impossible to rely on just a few contacts with humans. Learn the language after communicating in it.

It is very likely that it has the ability to access the internal network of the Abyss Fleet.

The lights flickered suddenly, Zhou Pingbo was startled, bent down habitually, and almost fell to the ground.

The electronic board in Ika's arms flew over a malfunctioning snowflake.

The next moment, as if responding to the thoughts in Zhou Pingbo's mind, Ruth's voice faltered, "Warning...abnormal...warning..."

There was a long beep at the speaker output port, the audio channel was interrupted momentarily, and the intelligently controlled lights went out in a strobe.

The room they were in had a very high level of confidentiality, and there was no porthole facing outside. The moment all the lights went out, the entire space fell into darkness.

Heinrich walked towards the door quickly, but the door lock was an electromechanical coordination device. At this moment, the electronic light screen failed, and it was impossible to enter any password information to open the door.

Lin Xu followed closely behind Heinrich. After his keen hearing caught the pause of Heinrich's hand movements, he immediately realized that the door lock was malfunctioning. He took a few steps back to borrow strength, and stepped forward to kick on the gate.

Amidst the loud bang, the door lock was violently kicked off by Lin Xu, and the door suddenly opened.

The corridor outside the door was also wrapped in darkness.

This area was basically untouched, and in the darkness, it was so quiet that even the sound of starship engines and mechanical equipment hidden in the wall could not be heard.

"Hey..." Zhou Pingbo's heart rate accelerated and his nerves tensed.

Ika patted him on the back to help him relax, but Zhou Pingbo was startled by the silent appearance of the hand in the darkness, "Ika! What are you doing?!"

Yika couldn't see Zhou Pingbo, and the electronic board he relied on for survival also failed, which made him a little sad, but he still replied seriously: "Comfort you. You seem to be frightened."

Zhou Pingbo sighed and scratched his sparse hair. Ika's simple and straightforward words made the overall atmosphere less scary.

Lin Xu and Heinrich were not disturbed by the scene inside, they kept vigilant and walked out.

There is a backup energy source on the starship. Even if the power is cut off, the room where the safe is stored will be connected to the emergency power supply to ensure operation. After being destroyed by force, an alarm will be sent to the main system.

But now, the blaring sirens never existed.

Lin Xu followed his memory and walked a short distance to the right of the corridor, and found a porthole on the side wall.

A chill emanated from the wall, the temperature control system inside the starship stopped working, and the low temperature in the cosmic vacuum soaked into the metal hull.

The side of this porthole faces the earth, and the sunlight reflected from the surface reflects into the corridor. Looking to the other side, it is the starship array of the Abyss Fleet, and their midship lights and hull marker lights are also extinguished.

It wasn't just the Victoria that was damaged, it seemed that there was an unknown wave of destruction that spread out centered on the Victoria, infecting all starships.

The black and lightless starship array floats in space, and there is no sound in the vast space, like a dead graveyard.

What is even more shocking is that the light blue force field enveloping the starships is being torn apart and dissipated!

After the energy supply is interrupted, the force field cannot continue.

The two fleets rearranged their strategic formations and formulated counterattack strategies in all possible attack situations, but now all communication and intelligent weapon control systems have failed, and no matter how sophisticated the plan is, it will be useless.

The communication channel was silent, and the entire human fleet sank into a vacuum-like dead silence, and the shipboard weapons without energy and control systems were unable to operate.

Suddenly, a tremor and shaking came from the direction of the stern of the Victoria. After Lin Xu stood firmly against the wall, he heard the sound of shaking coming along the hull, breaking the silence.

"A small celestial body hit the starship through the force field." Heinrich quickly judged based on the only information, he held Lin Xu's wrist, and fixed the distance between the two, "Don't worry, it has been cleaned up before. A celestial body capable of destroying starships."

"The current situation is..."

Lin Xu watched Heinrich under the light white light from the earth, but before he finished asking, the artificial light in the corridor suddenly resumed, and it was as bright as day in an instant. sounded.

Ruth's voice still sounded so calm, "Victoria's intelligent system has been restarted."

"The force field restoration begins."

"The three-level automatic defense system is activated."

"The energy system is being overhauled."

"The communication system is under maintenance."

……

"Enemy investigation in progress."

"Warning, the high-level secret room has been forcibly invaded, warning, the high-level secret room has been forcibly invaded."

……

"I'm going to the bridge to direct the operation." Heinrich was telling Ruth as well as Lin Xu.

"I'm looking at the recorder." Lin Xu replied immediately.

Heinrich nodded: "Keep in touch at any time."

He walked quickly towards the bridge, and Arnold and several generals appeared eagerly at the corner at the end of the corridor, waiting to report the situation of various departments to Heinrich.

It was the first time that the Abyss Fleet encountered a situation where even the emergency energy source and communication failed. The failure and the natural recovery for no reason made people puzzled. In addition, Heinrich and Carter previously thought that there might be an attack. , and constantly strengthened the defenses of all parties, this accident made everyone terrified.

Lin Xu turned around and walked back into the room. The recorder was thrown off the table when the celestial body hit the Victoria. At this moment, it was lying quietly on the ground with a smooth and cold appearance.

No one dared to touch it with his hands anymore. Lin Xu asked Zhou Pingbo and Yika, two weak technicians, to step back a few steps. He lifted a chair, tore off the metal chair legs, and first approached the recording carefully with the chair legs. After confirming that it is not responding, use the metal chair legs to clip the recorder back to the table and put it away.

The recorder looks innocent and innocent.

Lin Xu asked, "Ika, did the recorder transmit or receive any signal just now?"

Yika hugged his precious electronic screen, called up all the monitoring data before the signal was interrupted, and replied: "No."

Lin Xu looked at the metal cube and frowned in thought.

The signal to destroy the Abyss Fleet was not sent by it... probably from someone outside.

The outsider knew that the four of them had been sitting around the recorder, discussing it, touching it.

"I think, therefore I am..." Lin Xu repeated in a voice that only he could hear.

Lin Xu suspected that this outsider had a connection with Lord Ling. Was it also He who watched everything go smoothly and start the self-destruct process in the base?

He watched, knowing that someone was standing in front of the recorder, and probably also knew the identities of the four.

These words were specially translated into Imperial language, just for them to hear.

Why did he leave behind a vague word?

Lin Xu still can't figure out the meaning behind him, but what is certain is that he is absolutely capable of destroying the human fleet.

But he didn't do that.

He just turned on the base self-destruct program, used four meteorites to destroy the ruins of the human base, and then did not know how to plunge the entire abyss fleet into darkness.

I think therefore I am... of course he is thinking, thinking about how to do it all, so here he is.

But does this still require him to speak up?Of course they knew that something was behind everything.

Lin Xu folded his arms and supported his chin, frowning.

No, he had to think again.

The sentence structure and wording of this sentence are exactly the same as the original sentence of the great philosopher. He can know it, which means that the new human base successfully got in touch with the civilization of Lingjun, and Lingjun knew the past of human civilization. .

He chose this phrase specifically so that it was impossible to just use its superficial meaning.

The pre-established view of cogito, therefore I am... is the dichotomy of body and mind.

body……

Does it refer to the tens of thousands of corpses buried in the snow-capped mountains?

The body dies, but the detached mind can still exist and think. He wants to tell them that the survivors are still alive.

But what is He condescending to tell them this?

It's like a Homo sapiens who was eating breakfast saw the ants group carrying food at his feet, suddenly lowered his head, shrouded the group of ants in the shadow of his huge body, and then held up the shiny silver table knife, The little ants said, "Look, I ate chocolate peanut butter spread today."

Unless... Lin Xu had an extremely unreliable guess in his mind.

Unless the survivors and Lingjun knew that Lin Xu, a wanderer on the ancient earth, died for his old friend and turned into cold corpses, they were very lost, and they were very kind-hearted and considerate, and tried their best to tell Lin Xu, don't Worried, they are still alive, although the way of living is a bit different from normal humans.

Unreliable... Lin Xu smiled to himself in his heart.

Carter contacted Heinrich as soon as the communication was restored.

"This is a warning from Lord Ling!"

Carter's mental state was obviously overstimulated, and Heinrich saw that he was trembling and crazy at the same time, and opened the sound and sight blockers.

He is on the bridge now, with Victoria and the headquarters of the Abyss Fleet behind him. Carter's abnormality cannot disturb the morale of the army.

"Yeah." Heinrich replied calmly and as usual, "You took the meteorite attack as a warning, and he has already warned twice."

Carter didn't know the inside story of the recorder, so he would naturally regard this attack as an unreasonable surprise attack.

"We can't just sit back and wait, we should start fighting back!"

"Who are you going to fight back against? General Carter, please take a closer look. Is there any enemy figure in the field of vision of any interstellar main gun?"

No.

The two fleets have activated the highest level of defense and detection systems, but in the vast space of the solar system, half of the creatures other than humans have not been found.

attack?Needless to say whether they can fight or not, they don't even have a target now.

Carter's agitated and tense body fell back into the chair. Heinrich waited for him to catch his breath before calming down, and continued: "The statistical report I have received so far states that this dark incident did not cause any casualties. The surface expedition spacecraft were not affected and they will continue to function normally.

"The two fleets will carry out follow-up disposal according to the emergency plan for power failure and disconnection. The technicians on board the ship will investigate the cause of the incident. I will report the relevant results to the empire and wait for feedback."

Heinrich doesn't intend to mention Lord Ling, which is currently a secret limited to Carter and himself.

But the imperial family also knew about the existence of Lingjun, and Carter's one-sided words were not enough. He wanted to hear the empire's attitude towards Lingjun.
