From ship girl to machine god

Chapter 39 Rescue Crew

More than 700 people from the investigation team were all brought to the main hangar, and most of them had injuries on their faces or bodies.

Either they were injured in a fight with each other, or they were injured by the security robot on the way here. This made the entire investigation team look like it was full of wounded soldiers, which was terrible.

But even so, the vast majority of the members of the investigation team are still very excited. It can be seen that they have not escaped the influence of subspace energy, or that their mental state at the moment has deviated from the normal range.

If these people cannot be treated in time, it is conceivable that the entire investigation team of more than 700 people

Chapter 40 Reflection

Finally, after Jade Bird put down their hammers and devoted themselves to the "injection" work of the security robots, they finally completed the treatment of more than 700 people before anyone could bear it any longer, and successfully made most of them fall asleep.

Among the remaining people, there were those whose conditions were relatively mild, and there were also those who were doctors themselves and received extra care from Jade Bird. They did not fall asleep but participated in the treatment work.

In short, after checking everyone, Jade Bird confirmed that the situation on the ship was not at its worst.

This made her feel relieved, but she was also very glad that she reacted in time.

Before, when the American soldiers were hiding and smoking, Qingniao didn't notice them, which made her suspicious of her own condition.

So after ordering the disposal of these American soldiers, she returned to the captain's room, sealed herself up and asked Tianji 0017 to guard the door, while she initiated a comprehensive self-examination in the core of her mind that she had never used before. Function.

After this function was turned on, she lost consciousness and control of her body, and it was as if her soul had left her body.

Her mental core is in this process, just like anti-virus software scanning system files. The self-examination of her mental core also conducts a comprehensive scan and inspection of Jade Bird's body and consciousness.

During the inspection, Qingniao noticed that his body was affected by subspace energy.

Originally, under normal circumstances, Blue Bird would not be affected by subspace energy.

But now her mental core is broken and she needs to absorb energy from the subspace to repair it. This has caused her to be infused with a large amount of subspace energy, causing the blue bird that should not be affected by the subspace energy to fall into the erosion of the subspace energy. among the impacts.

This is why if a few American soldiers hide and smoke, the Blue Bird will eject them directly from the airlock.

Although Qingniao did set such a rule at the beginning, it was only because the entire spaceship was her body. She didn't like people smoking on the ship, so she made the punishment very serious, but she didn't. I really plan to eject people into space without protection.

Under normal circumstances, even if someone really violates the regulations, although Blue Bird will indeed eject the person from the airlock, it will at least give him an extravehicular suit. It is just a punishment and does not really mean to kill anyone.

After all, if there is no fixed rope, being launched into space like this, even if you don't die, is still a very impressive thing.

If it is used as a punishment, there is basically no problem. Of course, it does not count if the guy who is ejected pees his pants.

But Qingniao fell into an inexplicable state due to the influence of subspace energy. She wanted to execute those American soldiers for almost no reason, just because they violated her rules.

Even the Blue Bird was affected, not to mention the crew on the ship. Their previous dissatisfaction and the final riot of the crew were all the result of the influence of subspace energy.

Otherwise, as soldiers, they would not be ignorant of the importance of discipline. Even if they were dissatisfied with Blue Bird's handling, it would not cause panic among the entire ship, or even almost cause trouble.

You must know that these people are elites carefully selected by the coalition government. All of them have received astronaut training. They have good self-emotional control ability and will not go to the extent of rebellion because of such things.

Because of this, when Blue Bird completed the self-examination and returned to normal, she immediately cleaned the entire ship and gathered everyone for control and treatment.

As for her golden eyes and her emotionless indifference, it was an adventure she encountered during the self-examination process.

However, Qingniao did not remember what happened to her. She only knew that her soul seemed to have left her body after the self-examination began. Then she saw a golden light in the subspace, and she could not remember anything after that.

All she knew was that she seemed to have made a deal with an incredible being, who enlightened her about the nature of subspace, thus giving her psychic powers, and also instilled in her a lot of knowledge about psychic powers. Yes, it’s also about technology.

The price for Blue Bird to obtain all this is to fulfill a promise after growing to the agreed level.

As for the content of the promise, Jade Bird couldn't agree with it at all.

"It seems that I am too weak now. Has this memory been sealed?" Qingniao did not feel incompetent and furious about this situation. Instead, he maintained his indifferent mental state and began to think and analyze completely rationally.

This state of thinking is a kind of psychic skill she has acquired, which puts herself under the absolute rationality like a machine, allowing her to think better about problems and analyze, and at the same time, it can also effectively resist the influence from subspace.

After all, they are still flying in the subspace and have not left the subspace.

"Since the memory is temporarily blocked, it means that I don't have to worry about it until I remember it." Qingniao understood his situation very well, so he didn't think about it anymore, but thought about how to solve the problem he was facing. Question: "Although the mood of the crew has stabilized, this situation is only temporarily stable. We must find a way to isolate the influence of subspace on them, and also isolate the influence of subspace on me.

Until the core of my mind is repaired, I can only use my mechanical mind to combat the effects of subspace energy. This is not a long-term solution.

The person who made the deal with me seems to have solved the problem of the fragmentation of my mental core. Now that I put the fragments of my mental core together, it won’t make me completely META, but the irreversibility of META will also make me inevitably become a META girl. direction transformation, this must be noted.

And that person also reminded me that when the core of my mind was split before, part of my soul was also split, causing me to be emotionally deficient and prone to emotional extremes.

It shouldn't have any impact on me in the real world, other than being a bit grumpy, but in the subspace this is very fatal, and if I'm not careful, it may cause me to lose control of my emotions.

Therefore, it is better to leave the subspace for now, return to the real world to eliminate the impact of this time, and let the crew return to normal before making next plans. "

Qade Bird quickly analyzed the situation he faced and made a decision after careful consideration.

After she made her decision, the entire spacecraft responded immediately, and the jump engine began to reduce its operating power, allowing the ship to begin to exit the subspace jump state.

Chapter 41 Safety Measures

At this time, the spacecraft is in the cosmic space between the solar system and the Proxima Galaxy. It has completely left the scope of the known solar system by humans and entered the deep space of the universe that humans have never explored.

Here, through the powerful observation matrix on the spacecraft, humans have truly proven the existence of Planet X, which is outside the Corboy Belt.

This should have been an astronomical discovery that affected all mankind, but now it means nothing.

Within 100 years, the rapidly aging and expanding sun after the helium flash will engulf the earth. In 300 years, the sun will expand to its limit and destroy the entire solar system.

Even if humans can immigrate to Planet X within 100 years, there is no possibility of surviving the crisis of a solar explosion.

The only chance for mankind to survive is to build 500 planetary engines before the end of the window period to push the earth out of the solar system and fly 4.2 years later to reach the Proxima Centauri galaxy [-] light-years away.

However, now, the investigation team as the advance team was almost wiped out due to the subspace jump, which cast a thick shadow on their next mission.

Therefore, after exiting the warp, and after all crew members were treated and returned to normal except for a few unlucky ones who required continuous hospitalization, the leadership of the investigation team gathered in the conference room again to discuss the next course of action.

But this time, there were Jade Bird, Tianji 0017, Han Duoduo, and Liu Peiqiang in the conference room.

"The cause of this incident is that the energy in the space has corroded the minds of all the crew members. Everyone's minds, including mine, have been affected, which is why it has such serious consequences." Jade Bird was the first to express his position. At this moment Although she has released her mechanical mind, her mood is still indifferent, and her voice is flat as if there is no fluctuation: "The core fragment of the mind instinctively absorbs subspace energy to repair its own damage. Its absorption of subspace energy causes Due to the tide of warp energy, excess warp energy flows through the ship, and everyone is affected by the warp energy.

This is why I prevent you from studying the energy of the subspace and the subspace itself. For humans today, studying it... is too early. "

It is too early not only for the humans wandering around the earth, but also for the humans who designed the jump engine and wrote the Nantianmen plan in the core of their minds.

"We understand. I propose to stop all research on subspace during the next voyage and seal the relevant information." After such an incident, the old scientists also understood that the Blue Bird prohibited them from studying subspace. Due to space reasons, he planned to stop researching subspace to prevent mankind from falling into a more terrible crisis.

Regarding this decision, Qingniao nodded affirmatively and said: "It is a wise decision not to try to go deep into the subspace before humans have enough strength. We still don't know everything about it."

This decision was quickly passed unanimously. Although some people still wanted to try to understand the jump engine through research on subspace, it was obvious that this incident impressed them deeply enough and made everyone understand the subspace. What a dangerous place it is.

However, at this time, the commanding officer, who was second only to Qingniao in the investigation team's authority, asked her: "But Chief Engineer Qing, if the subspace is so dangerous, how can we reach the Proxima Galaxy within the specified time? There is no jump. With the subspace jump of the engine, we cannot reach the Proxima System within a year at the speed of conventional navigation."

This issue is what the leadership of the investigation team is worried about at this time. Subspace jump is the only way for them to exceed the speed of light. If they want to reach the Proxima Galaxy within a year, they must use faster-than-light flight, and now The investigation team has the only way to use the jump engine to jump into subspace.

However, Qingniao shook his head slightly and signaled Tianji 0017 to display a schematic diagram of the principle of subspace transition on the display wall nearby.

And explained to everyone in the conference room: "I have explained it once before. The so-called subspace jump is to float on the water. The space-time bubble generated by the jump engine wraps the hull of the ship, so that it can reach the boundary between subspace and the real world. Jump between spaces, taking advantage of the fact that there is no concept of time in subspace to achieve the purpose of flying faster than light in a short period of time.

The reason why something happened this time was not only that the subspace energy was attracted by the fragments of the core of the mind and produced an energy tide, but more importantly, we went too deep into the subspace.

The safe range of subspace jump flight is only the superficial layer. This month-long flight time allowed the ship to immerse the entire stone in the water when it was "drifting", which also made us completely Entered subspace.

Although we are enveloped by a space-time bubble, we are not limited to facing the subspace energy directly, but the powerful subspace energy tide still penetrates the protection of the space-time bubble.

During the upcoming voyage, everyone on the ship must strictly abide by all safety regulations, without exceptions, and no exceptions are allowed.

We will continue to use the jump engine to conduct subspace jumps, but the 'depth' into subspace must be strictly controlled, and it is strictly forbidden to exceed the safety threshold!

At the same time, everyone on the ship will be issued with life monitors to monitor physical and mental status 24 hours a day to ensure that everyone is fine and deal with problems as soon as they arise. "

"Agree!" The commanding officer was the first to agree.

"I agree with the opinion of the Youth Chief Engineer." The political cadre also followed suit. After such a big incident, he also felt that preventive measures were needed to prevent the next incident from happening.

"I have no objection, I just want to ask Chief Engineer Qing, is there any way we can build a safety cabin in the cabin? I heard that the programmable nano-armor used by Comrade Han Duoduo has a mental protection function, which makes her in this incident In order to avoid losing control of emotions, can this technology be applied to the entire ship?" Old Science also did not object, but he asked a question that he was very concerned about.

And after asking this question, he also turned his attention to Han Duoduo who seemed to be very interested in programmable nano-armor.

While everyone else was looking at her, Han Duoduo also turned his attention to Qingniao, waiting for her answer.

Regarding this question, Qingniao nodded affirmatively and replied: "Psychological protection technology does exist, and the life monitors issued in the future will come with this function, but it is not safe. Its protective capabilities are limited and cannot allow We go deep into the Warp."

Chapter 42 Arrival at Proxima Centauri

Time passed quickly. After a short break in the real universe, the spacecraft started the jump engine again and entered the subspace.

However, the flight plan this time was much more cautious. They did not conduct a long jump flight like the last time, but controlled the time within a week.

After calculation, this time is a relatively safe range. After entering the subspace, the spacecraft can stay on the safer surface without falling into the depths of the subspace due to the long jump flight.

Moreover, one week for a jump is already the optimal time period determined by the survey team after careful calculations. If it is faster, it is possible to enter the deep subspace. If it is slower, it will delay time and may not reach the Proxima Centauri galaxy on time.

The interval between the two jumps is set to three days, which means that the spacecraft will jump for one week and then rest for three days. Then it will continue to jump into subspace for one week, and then come out and rest for three days, and so on until it reaches the Proxima Galaxy. .

"It feels like traveling between subspace and the real universe so frequently will put a huge burden on this ship!" In the engine room, several crew members responsible for maintaining the engine were checking the status of the engine and power core. Preparations were being made for another subspace jump that was about to begin, and one of them seemed a little worried about it.

These crew members have been working with engines all year round and know clearly that if an engine is always turned on and off, it will cause a lot of damage to the engine. This is even more likely to damage the engine than running the engine all the time.

It is precisely because of such worries that they have some questions that they should not have about the current flight plan that requires constantly jumping back and forth between the real universe and subspace.

"But as you saw when the accident happened last time, everyone was very crazy. We can't survive in the subspace for a long time." The other crew member didn't think about this, and just talked casually with the previous crew member. Chatting.

At this time, in addition to the two of them, there were three other crew members working in the entire engine room, but they were far away from the two, so they were the only ones chatting.

After hearing the reply from his companion, the worried crew member reached out and touched the life monitor installed on the arm of his cabin suit, and said to the companion beside him: "Isn't this life monitor issued? It says it has a mental protection function. , can it protect us from being affected in subspace? Isn’t it possible that this can’t be tolerated?”

"If you can handle it, do you think the superior leaders will not consider this?" The companion waved his hand, then lowered his head and started doing his work seriously: "Don't worry about this, just take care of this machine. It’s better than you worrying about these things.”

Hearing what his companion said, the worried crew member felt that his worries were unfounded, so he didn't say anything more and just completed the work at hand with his companion seriously.

"The entire system of the jump engine has been inspected and is in good condition. It can be started!" The crew members who had finished their work returned to the operation room of the engine room. After closing the screen door in accordance with the safety manual, they put on protective clothing and then headed towards the ship. Bridge reported the situation.

At this time, everyone on the bridge seemed very nervous.

Although there has been a subspace jump before, but with what happened before as a lesson, everyone always has a sense of awe and nervousness when entering the subspace.

"All preparations, recharge the jump engine, input jump coordinates!" On the bridge, the commanding officer was still issuing instructions loudly. Even though he was wearing a communicator, others could hear him clearly even if he spoke in a low voice.

The crew on the bridge quickly operated according to the instructions, and soon the spacecraft had completed all preparations before the jump. It only needed to wait for the command officer's order to start the subspace jump again.

Only this time, the commanding officer said before issuing the order, "Raise protective partitions throughout the ship, seal all portholes and viewing windows, and strictly prohibit everyone from looking directly into the subspace." After this order was effectively implemented, the ship After the bridge was also closed by protective partitions, he shouted: "Start the jump engine!"

Just like when the jump engine was started for the first time, a space-time bubble enveloped the hull, and then the entire ship turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the real universe.

The spaceship entered the subspace again, but this time no one looked at the subspace like the first time.
