Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 152 Power Supply
"Not okay yet?"

Yuanze saw countless security machines rushing towards the other end of the passage.

Many of them have energy storage levels far exceeding that of the previous one, and their overall strength is far superior to that of the previous one.

"This control room is the most severely damaged part of the aircraft. Many of the instructions are different from those in the database."

"We can't just leave it like this. It's already hard enough for me to deal with just this one guy."

"It has been deciphered. Let's go in quickly."

Astra pressed Enter, and the projection jumped from "SystemError" to "Access", and he hurriedly called Yuanze.

At the moment the door closed, these machines without accurate instructions crashed into the door all at once, making a dull sound.

"We can't relax yet. We must first gain control of all defense machines."

"You're right, but can you find a place to remove the toxins in my body? I can't suppress them anymore."

After fighting with the centipede-shaped machines just now, Yuanze also understood why this place has an inhibitory effect on the metabolism of toxins.

This explains why most of the attacks here contain complex toxins.

"Don't worry too much. After such a long time, the effective ingredients of these toxins have long been gone." Astra pointed to the cabinet without looking up, "There is a bottle of antidote over there."

Yuanze smiled bitterly and nodded. He couldn't refute anything, so he could only walk to the cabinet.

This cabinet is somewhat out of place in this dim but metallic and technological control room. It is made of a biological material similar to wood, and the lock hangs crookedly on one side.

Although the material of the lock is not ordinary, the various cracks of varying sizes on the lock body still explain the situation.

This made Yuanze very curious, so he turned on the "Flow" and looked at the cabinets carefully. Shockingly, there was a note in Chinese in this cabinet -

“The antidote to the far right gives hope for the future.”

He did as he was told doubtfully, found a secret compartment, pressed the switch on it, and a black glass bottle rolled out.

The moment he got the bottle, the entire cabinet collapsed into pieces on the ground as if it was designed, and the note in his hand turned into powder.

This made Yuanze confirm the source of the information with Astra again. This was the content in the AI ​​database, not obtained from other third-party sources.

Astra also helped analyze the substance in the black bottle in his hand, and there was no doubt that it contained the antidote.

Yuanze didn't have time to care about so many things. After swallowing it in one gulp, the drug disintegrated in his body and turned into nanorobots, neutralizing the toxins from the security system. Only the toxic byproducts that had restored phase stability remained in his body.

"It seems there is no hope. The power consumption of this system is too high." Astra looked at Yuanze with frustration.

"It's okay. We can go to the power supply room. There are several nuclear fusion reactors marked there for power supply."

"That's not a good hope. The damage to the power supply room should be much more serious than here." Astra was feeling a little depressed. "Then let's go upstairs. There's a secret passage there."

Yuanze was very cautious when he went in. Even though Astra had confirmed it was safe, he still had to explore first.

However, he still found something strange. The edge of the board at the entrance of the passage was very new, and there were some curled rough edges, as if it had been cut not long ago.

"Did you say that someone has been here before? Why do I feel like something is wrong?" Yuanze hesitated for a moment and told Astra about his search for the antidote.

"You've been a little nervous lately, maybe you're hallucinating. It's impossible. Who can resist such a great temptation? You would have emptied it out long ago." "Maybe."

"When you get back, just relax and don't worry about anything else. I've also told Li Haisheng about your situation."

"Ah."

Yuanze nodded and closed the secret door at the entrance of the passage. He had been under a lot of pressure during this period. Since YN Province, a series of things had happened that had made him restless.

But what I see before my eyes is by no means fantasy, but real reality. Perhaps some secrets of this world are still waiting for me.

"This is not fate, but my own choice."

As Yuanze walked through the secret passage, his mind was full of random thoughts, which he couldn't even express clearly.

After walking for a while, Yuanze finally arrived at the location marked by the coordinates of this trip.

"boom!"

Yuanze used force to break the chipped board above, then moved the board away and jumped on.

The dark room seemed unusually quiet, with only a few indicator lights flashing in the distance.

Vaguely, Yuanze saw the magnificent nuclear fusion facility outside.

These were originally the source of energy for this body, but at this moment they have completely shut down and are just standing here quietly.

Their structures are complex and precise. The reactors are made of alloys of unknown materials, and a layer of smooth coating can be vaguely seen in the flashing indicator lights.

And even now, Yuanze can still feel the powerful energy it once radiated, just like standing in the ruins of a once glorious ancient city. The weight of history makes people feel daunting.

His eyes lingered on these devices. He could imagine how, when they were functioning properly, they would fuse tiny atoms into huge energies to power the entire facility. But now, they were like a pile of scrap metal, lying there quietly, silently waiting for their own decay.

Astra was also shocked, but as an AI, she was more interested in the data. She stopped in front of the only console that was still displaying normally and began to check the data.

Her brows furrowed a little, and the situation looked not optimistic.

These nuclear fusion devices did not simply go out after being attacked, but were forced to shut down and become completely paralyzed after a virus invaded the system.

In order to repair this place, in addition to the necessary starting fuel and materials to repair the damaged reactor, the virus in the isolation area must be removed before normal operation.

With her current level, she is still far from being able to do it. Even if she tries to touch and analyze them, she will be infected. This is a virus that even alien AI is troubled by.

"The problem here is more serious than I thought." She was a little ashamed. "These devices have been out for a long time, and it is not a simple malfunction. It requires more professional knowledge."

Yuanze sat on a chair, supporting his head with his hands and closing his eyes, as if thinking about something.

"This question is difficult for me, but it should be easier for a certain professional family."

"The Sanchez family."

"Let's go, let others do the work, and we have to provide something of value."
