The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After Leo and Sylvia entered the water, they dived all the way to the outside of the engine compartment.

Comparing the stereograms I got from the scan data yesterday, Leo soon found a hole location that he analyzed that could provide access to the interior of the cabin.

Then he pointed down, and the two swam towards the hole.

Although this engine compartment was started during the landing, the engine was started in time to relieve the impact force during the drop, but this abnormal landing state still inevitably caused some damage to the compartment.

If it is in the Earth Federation, such damage can be completely repaired easily, but now this cabin is in a lake in the Velon world, and the damage cannot be repaired anymore, and even small damages that accumulate over time will become large. Loopholes.

The two swam to the side of the cabin, and Leo quickly found the emergency access point of the engine compartment along the mark on the outer wall.

This emergency passage is an escape passage specially prepared for mechanic technicians working in the lower cabin. This escape passage will not be actively closed or fall off. It will only be torn off by the cabin itself when the cabin is separated from other cabins. Then the cabin doors at both ends will automatically close.

This design is mainly to allow escapers to escape at the last minute, and the biggest problem with this design is that it will cause some damage to the connecting cabins at both ends when pulled, but these damages are all Within the acceptance level, as long as there are maintenance personnel, the damage can be repaired quickly.

However, it is clear that there should be no maintenance personnel in the engine compartment. When the cabin fell to the ground, this escape cabin joint suffered another secondary damage, making this part very fragile, although the appearance of the metal wall seems There is no damage, but in fact the ultra-high-density metal plate at the junction has been completely broken, and it has been easily discovered by the polymer oscillation scanning of the detector.

After finding the part found in the data, Leo pulled out the twins and turned it into the sharpest sacrificial knife. Ignored the sacrificial knife directly to the cracked part of the metal wall, and easily put the knife body Insert it, then move the blade along the direction of the crack, and soon cut a metal plate half a person tall.

After removing the metal plate, you can see a hollow tunnel behind the metal plate that can provide one person to pass through, and in the channel, there is a ball-shaped device at every interval.

Seeing this device, Leo immediately recognized this as a force field generating device.

For a combined exploration ship such as the Titan-class mothership, once it encounters an enemy ship attack, it is impossible to rely on armor for protection, because the modular combination is destined to prevent it from having extremely strong integrated armor. If an integrated battleship armor is installed in each cabin, the weight of the entire spacecraft will increase several times, and it is not easy to assemble the module.

Therefore, the builders at that time simply changed all the armor of the combined module compartments except the core ship to the isolation armor commonly used in inner galaxy warships, and the defense of the spacecraft all relied on the energy field to defend it. The cabin serves as the armor of the mother ship.

This barrier armor is a new type of energy metal. When the energy force field is used, the energy force field will stimulate the metal characteristics of the barrier armor, which increases the metal's solidity by more than seventy times, which is comparable to the armor of the interstellar warship. Now, when there is no energy image, it is just a general isolation armor.

This is a good thing for Leo, because if it is really warship armor, even if he has a sacrificial knife, I am afraid that he cannot cut that layer of armor in a short time.

Because of the crack on the armor just now, the equipment pipeline of this force field generator is already full of lake water. Leo checked it, and after finding no danger, he signaled Sylvia to follow, and then drilled into the pipeline. In the middle, according to some instructions in the pipeline, I swam towards the end quickly.

Soon, Leo found an abandoned maintenance vehicle in the pipeline. The vibration caused by the landing of the cabin caused the maintenance vehicle to leave the transportation track and fall aside.

Leo instructed Sylvia to wait, and then moved the repair car back to the track, followed by a quick check of the repair car's energy system, conduction devices, etc., and after confirming that it was not damaged, it was manually opened Repair car system.

I saw that on the display screen of the maintenance car, some data start screens flashed quickly, and finally stayed on the operation interface.

Leo Ke quickly pressed the note button on the screen, and saw an energy field transmitted from the maintenance vehicle, swept through Leo and Sylvia, and then squeezed all the water to the periphery. , And automatically converts oxygen suitable for human breathing, forming a spherical force field.

"It's amazing!" Standing on the platform of the maintenance car, Sylvia took off her mask to breathe some of the surrounding air, and then reached through the water curtain above her head, feeling the cold, bitter lake on the other side, while she pumped When I returned my hand, I found that all the water on my hand was isolated from the force field. The hand that was full of water just now felt a bit dry.

Because the repair car is in single-person mode, the two people stand a little crowded. Leo simply hugs Sylvia in her arms, lets her hold the railing next to it, and then starts the automatic navigation system of the repair car to let it run automatically. Along the rails of the pipeline, the repair workshop of this engine compartment moved past.

"You seem to be familiar with this place?" Sylvia saw Leo very skillfully pressing the quirky character on the luminous screen, and then the quirky device under her feet moved. She couldn't help but ask curiously.

Leo explained in a way that Sylvia could understand, saying: "I have a lot of knowledge about it in my head, and this knowledge allows me to use these devices from the starry sky freely."

Sylvia sank for a moment and said slightly expectantly: "Is there a way to get this knowledge too?"

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "As long as you can find a database import device, you can get this knowledge."

"Database import device?" Sylvia repeated some jerky name in Earth Federation, and then asked, "Where can I find it?"

"In the ruins of a prehistoric civilization." Leo responded indefinitely, and then thought about it again, said: "There may be one in the hand of Sarah the king."

"She?" Sylvia pouted, and said, "I still have my luck!"

When the two were talking, the repair car in motion had stopped slowly.

At this time, a probe protruded above the two people's heads, and a detection grating was swept across the two people.

At this time, Leo was preparing to cast a psionic shield while pressing his hand on a permission button on the repair car. When the acceptance icon appeared, he reported a permission code and corresponding password, and then waited for the cabin control system to do Out of reaction.

Leo had many identities when he performed his tasks. One of the identities gave him a secret permission code. This code allowed him to have a fourth-level permission. Under this permission, he could obtain most of the civilian use. The control authority of the equipment, the control authority of a small part of the battleship, and can also call some local troops.

As far as he knows, this secret permission code is a common code for Bioman Warriors, and will not be easily canceled. When someone uses this code to do things that harm the Earth Federation, the system control master brain of each star domain can also quickly make React to block the permissions of this code.

He doesn't know whether the code permissions shared by this biochemical man have been revoked after his death, but if it is not revoked, then he will save a lot of trouble and reduce a lot of danger in the next exploration of this cabin.

Not long after he reported the authorization code, the control car's control screen quickly showed the word passing, and then the detection probe was retracted, and an energy field was transmitted from above to give the surrounding water to Squeezed apart, the metal wall above revealed a small entrance that just let the maintenance car pass, and the maintenance car also suspended, leading the two into the entrance.

After the two entered, the entrance was closed again, the surrounding energy field was also released, and the lake was filled again.

At this time, Leo and the two had already walked out of the end of the pipe. After passing through the front entrance, they entered a fairly large space. The space was divided into two parts, the outer circumference was round, the inner side was triangular, and the diameter It is about 500 meters or so. On the inner wall of the circle are all dozens of high-rise houses. It seems that this should be the living area of ​​the cabin staff. The gravity device is also maintained here, even if you stand on the ball The inner wall of the top will not fall down.

For the first time Sylvia saw this scene, she was completely stunned by everything in front of her, her mouth wide open, and she didn't know what to say.

At this time, the repair car suddenly turned upside down in the air and leaned towards a two-story building on the ceiling.

At the moment of reversal, Sylvia immediately shouted nervously and turned to hug Leo, fearing that he would fall from the air.

However, after discovering that what she was worried about did not happen, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by what she had just done, and then glared at him fiercely, as if she was angry and complaining that Leo had not reminded her He turned around and looked casually, looking at the strange buildings around.

The maintenance vehicle was slowly parked on the platform on the roof of the two-story building. Leo stepped forward. After seeing Leo walked, there was no drop. Sylvia also walked down. And after stepping on the roof, he couldn't help looking up at the house that was hanging over his head, and then he jumped twice, picking up an object on the ground, and lost it, just like a child who just got a toy.

At the same time, Leo has spread the spiritual web from here and penetrated into every building and room in this living area, and the result disappointed him because he did not find any living people from here, or even from Any dead person found here, the entire living area is empty.

Leo turned around and walked down the roof from the spiral staircase next to it. Sylvia Gold followed, and the two then came to the house of this small building.

The house on the second floor was very messy, the tables and chairs fell to the ground, and the lamps fell to the ground. The daily necessities and books were scattered around. It looks like it should be the internal shock caused by the landing of the engine compartment, making it seem like an encounter In general, an earthquake occurred.

Sylvia tried to pick up some of the books on the ground and read them, but when her hand touched the books, the books immediately shattered into powder and scattered all over the place.

"What's going on?" After seeing this, Sylvia showed a puzzled look on her face. In fact, she also considered the preservation of books, so she had been as careful as possible when she took the books. But with only a light touch, the book was completely broken into powder, which really made her wonder.

"In the civilization of the starry sky, paper books have long been eliminated, and brain reading is the mainstream reading method." Leo explained on the side: "However, some people like this retro-style book, so some people develop A book of this kind of degradable material has come out. This kind of book cannot be kept permanently, and will automatically degrade into the most original material after the storage period expires."

After the explanation was finished, Leo again carefully checked the condition of the repair shop. Although some damage was caused during the emergency landing, because no one else has entered here afterwards, the things here are still quite preserved. Not bad, especially the location of most of the items is still the same as the moment before the people who lived here before leaving~www.readwn.com~ Judging from what he found, the people living here did not appear in a hurry when they left Quite calmly, it can be seen that this engine compartment was not abandoned because of some accidents, but was actively discarded by the mother ship where it was, and the preparation time before the discard is sufficient, so that everyone has enough time to pack their own things. .

It's just that he felt something was wrong, because according to the regulations, if this engine compartment is abandoned, in addition to moving away from the people who live and work here, the energy source here needs to be taken away, and even needs to be set in the system Clean up procedures, remove the cabin system, then detonate the cabin after a safe distance, and completely destroy it.

But the situation in this engine compartment is completely contrary to any abandonment rules he knows. Not only is the extremely valuable energy source not taken away, the system has not been cleared, but also it is allowed to emit a recycling signal by itself, especially this recycling signal is the weirdest. , Because if it is an abandoned cabin, it is impossible for the system to release the recovery signal.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem here?" Sylvia's attention shifted from the surrounding objects back to Leo. When Leo frowned and thought, he couldn't help asking.
