"That means the eight people here are actually eight members of the Dragon Clan?" I asked.
The leader of the pilgrims said with great certainty: "Yes, theoretically they are your compatriots. The only difference is that you are marines and they are starship commanders."
"So they are more advanced than us?"
"Essentially it is the same, but there should be some adjustments in some details. It may give up part of the individual combat effectiveness. The enhanced part should be the networking capabilities and data processing capabilities."
"Anyway, just know that they are compatriots." I said and walked over, and then asked: "How do you open this thing? They all seem to be in a deep sleep state."
"They are not restricted by equipment. The deep sleep state should be caused by the lack of energy. After all, they have been buried underground for so many years. The six people in front of you are already tens of thousands of years old. Compared with you, they should at least be considered big brothers and sisters. level."
"Okay, I understand what to do." What the pilgrim leader said was actually very clear. They enter deep sleep not because they are connected to the device, but because the lack of energy causes the body to automatically enter a dormant state in order to maintain life. Now that you know this, rescue becomes simple.
The difference between us dragons and humans is that we are complex creatures and simple creatures at the same time. Our body structure is very complex, tens of thousands of times more complex than the human body, but we are also simple creatures because our thinking is simple and we do not have so many complex emotions. At the same time, our bodies are also very simple. , as long as there is energy and matter, death is out of reach for us.
Walk to one of the sleeping cabins. After scanning, I found the switch position. When I pressed it with one hand, the metal plate sank a little, but there was no reaction. Fortunately, Xinxing reminded me in time: "Your Excellency Commander, the central processor has never been connected to the system. The energy it carries should have been used up long ago. I suggest that you are better off manually."
I have ignored this. As long as the spacecraft itself was powered when I came in before, I was accustomed to thinking that this computer could also be used, but it was right after thinking about it. The energy carried by the spacecraft is used for interstellar navigation, and the storage capacity is naturally very large. The spacecraft has been buried underground for so many years and has not been moved, so naturally it does not use much energy. So it is not surprising that there is still energy left, but the computer itself needs to be installed in the spacecraft. It does not need to run independently. It can have an emergency power supply for temporary support in the event of a problem with the main energy system. That's about it. Even if the creators' technology is very good, they wouldn't equip a computer with a backup power supply that can last tens of thousands of years, right?
fine. This thing also has a manual mechanism. I scanned it and found the so-called manual device. Walking to the upright end of the sleeping cabin, there is a groove a little below the top. There is a handle in it, but it is embedded inside the shell. I hooked the handle with my fingers and pulled it out, then pulled it down hard. The metal plate outside the sleeping cabin in front of me suddenly made a chirping sound and automatically opened a gap on both sides with the sound of exhaust. But this thing just opened a gap and stopped moving, because there was no energy at all.
I walked to the front, grabbed the gap and lifted up the front cover. The metal plate immediately lifted up with my strength. But this thing seems to have gears inside, and it feels like it's pushing up piece by piece.
When the cover was fully opened, I saw the true appearance of the sleeping cabin. The thing you just opened is just an armor protection layer. This thing is used to increase the survival rate of the main computer. There is also a hatch made of transparent material inside this armor layer. The interior seems to be completely frozen, and a layer of frost can be seen covering it. This is a low-temperature sleep setting, which uses low temperature to limit molecular movement to prevent the body from deteriorating due to molecular displacement if it has no energy for a long time.
The emergency switch for this layer is just under the panel. It is a red handle. When you lift it up, the front glass panel will automatically pop up, along with a burst of cold air.
As the cover outside opened, I finally saw this compatriot who was tens of thousands of years older than me. This is a male member. He is actually wearing a very close-fitting space suit. It looks a bit like a tights. However, microscopic scan results show that this thing is actually an ultra-light power armor and has the ability to cope with vacuum environments. , which not only provides oxygen and temperature control functions, but also provides propulsion power.
Although he is wearing ultra-light power armor, his figure still looks quite obvious. After all, this thing is very thin and very close-fitting. It can be seen that this person is indeed the same as us, sharing the common characteristics of the Dragon Clan and being short.
tooThe internal space of spaceships in the sky is limited, so if the personnel can be shorter, the personnel activity area does not need to be too large. This way, without improving technology and cost and without reducing the quality of life of the crew, it can It allows the spacecraft to obtain a higher payload, which is a good thing that everyone is willing to do. Therefore, our dragon clan is not tall, on the contrary, we are quite short. 1.7 meters is the standard height of the Dragon Clan. Even if there are some individuals with special figures, they won't be too different.
The height of this male companion is just over 1.69 meters. This is the standard data I scanned through the power armor. And although the other person's figure is very lucky, it can be seen that he is slightly thinner than myself, and the other person The internal structure of his body is also different from mine. Although his mechanical skeleton is very close to mine, the muscle tissue is obviously not as much as mine, and there are two sets of energy devices missing in his abdominal cavity, replaced by an additional set of data storage devices. This is indeed a specially enhanced design for piloting the spacecraft.
No matter what, this person is at least the same as us in most of his characteristics, so he should undoubtedly be our compatriot.
I reached out and pressed on his helmet mask, and the huge tumor-like mask covering his face came loose and I took it aside directly. This thing seems to be an additional piece of equipment for piloting a spaceship, and is not part of the power armor. Without this thing, you can see his helmet visor, but this thing is now locked from the inside, so I can't open it.
Although I can¡¯t open the mask with a manual device, I have an alternative.
Pull out the data interface attached to the power armor from his wrist, and then find a cover plate on the side of his neck. Press your fingers on it. The electromagnetic power is activated, and the cover immediately separates to both sides, revealing a D-shaped socket, which is densely packed with binding posts. I stretched out my own data interface and connected it, although I don't have such a dedicated data connection interface. But the front end of my data cable is a universal connector, which can be directly connected one by one with silk-like data cables, so there is not much of a problem.
After the connection was completed, I immediately started to charge the opponent's power armor, and soon saw a prompt showing the creator's text. I feel relieved when I see this. I directly entered my own life signature code using the creator's text. The next second, the opponent's power armor mask suddenly opened and lifted upwards with a clatter. At the same time, the power armor on his body also automatically unfolded, completely releasing him.
Fortunately, this person is not naked. There is also a set of tights inside. I don¡¯t know what material it is made of. It has not changed much after tens of thousands of years. It is just like new.
I finally see someone now, and their facial features don¡¯t look like Asians. It is not like any other race on earth. Although it can be said that it is human in shape overall, if you look closely, you will feel that the other person's face has automatic characteristics, unlike any race on earth. But it still looks like a human being, just a little bit special.
The other person¡¯s hair color is silver. It's a real sound, like a silver mirror. Not only is it silvery white, it actually reflects light. It doesn't feel like hair, like metal, but it really feels like hair, very soft.
At this time, there is almost no reaction from the other party's body. This is an ultra-deep sleep state, which is equivalent to a computer entering a standby state. All data will be saved in long-term memory, and the operating system will be parked in the memory and thinking center, that is, Human consciousness will not perform any calculations. At the same time, all other parts except the brain will enter a closed state. Basically, it is not much different from a dead person. The heart will start up every once in a while, the circulatory system will enter the complete minimum supply state, and the whole person will basically enter a state of suspended animation.
I didn¡¯t take him out of the dormant cabin, nor did I take off his power armor. Instead, I just reached out and touched the back of his neck. As my fingers moved, a smile suddenly appeared on my lips, because I really touched the same universal data port as ours.
Pull out his data port cable, then connect it to my port cable, and then start using my port cable to directly power his electronic computer. Sensing the input of external energy, the other party's electronic brain was immediately awakened from its dormant state, and then I heard a voice, or a prompt.
This is actually the response of the thinking aid program stored in the electronic brain. His brain has not yet been fully activated. I directly entered and exited my own vital code, and then the other party's electronic computer immediately gave me synchronization permission. The next second, the picture flashed in front of my eyes, and I felt like I suddenly appeared on a platform.
This is actually not a real world, but a place similar to a game world. The platform under my feet is just composed of data, and here, a person isHe was suspended there and looking at me quietly. His face was that of the compatriot I was rescuing.
"Hello, compatriot." I spoke first.
The other party looked at me and was stunned for a while, and then suddenly reacted and said: "My current state of thinking is very slow, but I can confirm that you are our compatriot, so, can I wake myself up now?"
The other party entered deep sleep because of insufficient energy, so he tried not to wake up unless necessary, because if he woke up unexpectedly, he was not sure whether he would still have energy to maintain it until he was awakened next time.
I said with great certainty: "Yes, I brought energy supplements. You can try to activate the circulatory system first, I will inject you with high-energy compounds, and then wait for you to feel the energy before activating the system one by one."
"OK."
After the communication was completed, I immediately withdrew from the silver-white world, then took out the energy supplement from my body, pulled his wrist up, but did not inject it immediately, but waited until I heard his heartbeat begin to recover. Once the blood started flowing again, I started injecting the energy fluid. I didn¡¯t input too much in one go, I just took two tubes first. That's almost enough.
Feeling the blood energy index rising, the other party immediately started to activate other organs in the body. Soon his eyes opened, and then he tilted his head slightly and saw me standing aside. He tried to speak, but his vocal cords had been idle for too long and could no longer produce sound. It took time to activate, so he immediately switched to the data network.
I directly pulled his data network into the spiritual network. The other party's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he became obviously excited.
"I thought we were the last survivors, but I didn't expect that there were so many compatriots!" The other party shouted excitedly in the spiritual network, then paused and expressed to me with an even more surprised emotion: "Oh my God! There are actually pilgrims here. Allies! Our allies!"
"I suggest you calm down first. Your body has been dormant for too long, and the recovery speed is a bit slow. I am currently using my own electronic brain to charge your mechanical skeleton, and the speed is a bit slow. You'd better concentrate your energy first. Move your body, and then I can find you a professional charging stand."
¡°Oh, sorry, I was so excited.¡±
After smiling and saying it was okay, I started to ask for his name and information about his companions while starting to open several other dormant cabins. Ling and Xiaochun had also arrived here at this time, although they had been in the spiritual network before. We had already communicated with each other, and seeing so many companions, this new companion couldn't help but get excited again.
Although the feeling of our dragon clan is relatively single, it is not completely emotionless. At least the positive emotions are still very developed. However, we rarely have negative emotions. This is said to be deliberately designed this way, because our dragons are combat weapons. If you think about it, you know that the designers definitely hope that their soldiers will always be positive. Who needs a group of soldiers who sigh all day long?
With the help of Ling, Xiaochun and the others, we quickly got the eight new companions to climb out of the dormant cabin, and the first few to get up could already connect to external energy sources to charge themselves. Of course, their current bodies are still a little weak, and at most they are twice as physically fit as human special forces. This is already very scary among humans, but compared to our dragon standards, it is basically no different from a patient who needs help when walking.
"Do you still remember where you are?" Seeing that they all had basic mobility and began to recharge, I asked. I now desperately want to know the truth about this spacecraft, the Fourth District, and the incident when they crashed on the earth. I wish they knew more! (To be continued.)
