mother of all races

The degree of damage to the cabin equipment - 50% - 60% - 70%...

Temperature Imbalance Alarm Alarm Alarm Number A012-12515-n2…

Refrigeration System Failure Alarm Alarm Number...

Emergency facilities offline alarm...

Preparing to restart the entire ship system

System offline countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7...

……

Accompanied by violent explosions and vibrations, the blowout alarm rushed towards Hal like a tsunami in an instant.

The local adjustment system in the isolation area short-circuited instantly, and the explosion that should have been controlled in the isolation area spread to the upper and lower three-story cabins, and detonated a small energy conversion device...

Continuous flames ignited the corners of the Providence, like orange-red fireworks suddenly lit up in the dark underground.

Except for the ear-piercing roar of explosions and flames, the Providence suddenly fell into complete silence.

Of course, it has been abandoned here for so many years, dead silence is its normal state.But this moment, the silence descending on this spaceship is different.

You know, even when the heterogeneous infection on the Providence reached its peak and the whole ship was in complete chaos, the basic system used to maintain the most basic operation of the entire spaceship had never completely stopped as it is now.

If the Providence was a human, then we can say that it died once in a very short moment.

And yes, as much as he hates to admit it, Hal was really beaten by the deluge of bug reports.

The completely overloaded load forced Hal, who had finally seized control, to go offline again——

Then, in a very short moment, maybe 0.1 second, or less, Hal started the first restart of his life.

This is an extremely incredible thing for Hal.

After all, as a spaceship like the Providence, even if most of the spaceship has been damaged, she should be able to maintain the basic operation, even if Hal has not been maintained by anyone for hundreds of years.

What's more, those that keep entering its brain are just some irrelevant error reports.

After a cursory inspection, Hal said to himself.

but……

Hal has clearly felt that his operation has become more and more laborious and more and more stagnant.

However, this is really difficult to explain.

After all, in addition to the main computing, it also has several spare computing resources.

But when Hal called up the background data, it found that all its spare libraries were fully loaded.

Fortunately, the full-load computing only lasted for a short while, and then a large amount of computing resources began to be released, so Hal was able to reluctantly regain control of the spaceship.

Although its spaceship has been severely damaged now (and it has long since lost the human beings who can repair all of this), the first priority for it is still Lin Xi's life and death——

Surrounding the still burning explosion area, countless monitoring ports received Hal's command at the same time, and the machine flickered and started to run, searching for traces of the alien species named "Lin Xi" extremely sincerely and faithfully.

search target...

Searching for the target Lin Xi...failed, after ten seconds to search again...failed...

No target found within the area.

……

Hal tried to find Lin Xi inside the spacecraft—of course, it would be better to find the wreckage of Lin Xi and those damn bastards.

But after wasting a lot of resources, Hal didn't find any traces of Lin Xi in the blast zone.

Hal had to face an incomprehensible problem again, and it found that Lin Xi was missing.

No matter how it checked and searched, Lin Xi and his family members were still missing.

……

……

Lynch is in Hal's head.

Of course Hal didn't know this.

In fact, just a few minutes ago, even Lin Xi didn't realize that he was in Hal's core computing center.

After all, everything is too chaotic.

With the help of the airflow from the explosion, Xavier took Lin Xi, Noah and Arthur, and fled the explosion zone at an alarming speed.

It was still injured a little bit, and the wings were covered with coke balance and metal fragments ejected from the airflow.

The wings were hopeless, and Xavier had to give up his own again.

It felt quite sad about this, until it found out that it could use this as a bargaining chip to get a long period of comfort and condolence from Lin Xi.

In comparison, Noah and Arthur were injured very slightly.

Part of Noah's body was charred and Arthur was scratched.

Of course, for such two different species, this degree of wound is almost equivalent to no.

On the contrary, the scene when Xavier stared at the two young and weak aliens with blood-red eyes in a menacing manner, and tore off the wings on his back by the root, caused them a little more mental stimulation...

Well, this is not incomprehensible.

You know, even as a bystander, Lin Xi could still clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from Xavier at that moment.

He could even sense the trace of regret in Xavier's heart...

Obviously, Xavier's previous move was completely unplanned.

If he was given a little more time to think, Xavier might prefer to abandon the two light bulbs, Noah and Arthur, in the explosion area.

But at that time, it had no room for "thinking".

Xavier rescued the two alien species completely by instinct, and also lost a pair of wings for them...

"Okay, Xavier..."

Xavier's emotions became more and more intense, and Lin Xi had no choice but to interrupt a king worm that was beginning to dig into its horns.

In order to divert the depressed Xavier's thoughts, Lin Xi stood up and wandered around in the temporary shelter they found.

Familiarity with unfamiliar environments is also the instinct of a qualified alien...

It was at this time that Lin Xi realized that he seemed to have come to a rather special area.

This place is unusually wide, open like some kind of giant gymnasium.

There are no working facilities for humans here. On the contrary, it suddenly looks a bit like an ancient stadium, only the bottommost area is wide and flat, and the circular "seats" are no longer humans. Instead, there are continuous, neatly arranged metal iron boxes.

There are regular electronic lights and a large number of cables flashing on each iron box.Those cables and pipelines are like cobwebs, connecting all the metal boxes together.

On top of all the iron boxes, a translucent spherical particle processor, like a small celestial body, flickered on and off.

If not, Lin Xi might have been hard-pressed to imagine that this is a super-large computer room after visiting the computer center of Earth-Moon University.

In ordinary scenes on the earth, people can already assign extremely complex calculations to ultra-thin microcomputers the size of a fingernail. Such a giant electronic computing center is really rare now.

But, then again, if the computer's calculations are to maintain an extremely large, extremely delicate, intelligent system that can even generate human emotions, such ultra-miniature things can't withstand that level of calculations .

What he needs is a huge computing cluster like the one in front of Lin Xi.

"For God's sake, where on earth did you find this place..."

Lin Xi looked around in shock, then murmured.

Lin Xi just expressed emotion instinctively, but Xavier still answered him very seriously.

"Indicator light..."

Xavier said dryly.

"Emergency light..."

At that moment filled with fire, high temperature and air currents, the time for Xavier to make a choice was extremely short—and at that moment, Xavier keenly noticed that in the intricate cabin, a certain The emergency indicator light representing the escape route in one direction is flashing rapidly.

It followed the indicator light almost instinctively, and by the time it reacted, it had already stumbled into this place.

After listening to Xavier's answer, Lin Xi suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where she and Xavier came.

A metal door was slantedly hidden, and the traces drawn on the metal plate by Xavier when he broke in could still be vaguely seen.

It wasn't the rough, flimsy metal doors of the rest of the cabin.

The extremely thick metal door with numerous security devices reminded Lin Xi of the vault gates used by banks on earth to arm their vaults.

Looking at the door, a thought suddenly flashed in Lin Xi's mind.

He walked towards the entrance quickly, and after some inspection, he was not surprised to find about dozens of mechanical soldiers in several completely concealed traps at the entrance.

From the appearance point of view, they are not the same as the ones that Lin Xi has dealt with before, but it is certain that... if they wake up, they must be quite difficult.

But, since our focus is... "if" they come to life.

The role of these mechanical warriors is too simple and clear. If someone enters the core area of ​​the central computer without permission, these mechanical warriors are the last line of physical defense.

It's just that the mechanical warriors that were supposed to be the killer's trump card (let's ignore their models for now), are now completely paralyzed.

Lin Xi grabbed a limp metal tentacle and fiddled with their bodies casually.

Under the mechanical warrior's hemispherical helmet, the electronic eyes flickered frantically, but their bodies could not move at all.

Lock error report, unauthorized lock.

A line of code quickly passed over the helmet of the mechanical warrior

Lin Xi slowly put the machine down temporarily, then he turned his head and looked at the extremely empty hall.

Something opened that door for them, and Lin Xi knew who it was.

"...what on earth do you want, Scripps?"

Lynch asked.

There was still silence in the hall, amidst the red lights representing malfunctions, only dozens of "metal boxes" were operating normally with flashing green lights.

This made those computers stand out.

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at the machines.

"Oh my god, are you..."

Some information that he saw in the research center in the quarantine area suddenly flashed in Lin Xi's mind.

In an instant, the strange look in his eyes became more and more intense.

Yes, Scripps still didn't have any positive communication with him, but Lin Xi vaguely felt that she could sense what Scripps was thinking.

He fumbled to check the machines that were still in operation.

It didn't take long for Lin Xi to realize that her guess was not wrong.

"This is Hal, isn't it?"

With an inconceivable mood, he pressed his hand on the slightly hot cold metal box.

Then asked Scripps.
