Darkness Enshrouds

Using a hammer might sound unreliable, but you can't deny it's a solution, just not a haphazard one.

It wasn't easy digging out something useful from this broken spaceship, what if it gets smashed? So, to be safe, it's better to dismantle the confirmed broken engine first, study its structure carefully, understand the purpose of each component, and then solve the deformation problem of the other one.

"Let's put aside the deformation of the pipe and figure out the other one first," Yue Yuan said.

"That's what I was thinking." Liu Miyan laughed and said loudly, "Anyway, this broken spaceship is already a wreck, it can't fly anymore, might as well make the most of it, dismantle everything that can be dismantled, take it back and study it slowly."

"Well, then dismantle it, remember to be careful."

Yue Yuan nodded in agreement. As he spoke, he turned and left the engine room, then said to the two who followed, "What do you think of this Alien Spaceship?"

To be honest, Yue Yuan was a little disappointed. He had hoped to find some residual fuel or something in the engine room of the broken Alien Spaceship, but it was empty.

Seriously speaking, they did dig out an engine that looked relatively complete on the surface, but Yue Yuan didn't have any hope for it. It's been buried in the ground for 20,000 years, inside and out, it's all dirt, who knows if it's decayed inside, it would be nice if it could be cleaned up and put in a museum for collection.

"It should be a probe spaceship or a small cargo spaceship." Yu Nanfeng answered first. The probe spaceship should be judged from its size, while the cargo spaceship should be judged from the red gas at the beginning.

Walking along with Yue Yuan, Yu Nanfeng said, "But apart from the red gas at the beginning, we didn't find anything, nor did we find any traces of alien creature remains, but I don't think this is an unmanned spaceship."

Liu Miyan interjected, "I'm sure it's not unmanned, we'll know when we clean up the cockpit. Also, the material research team has analyzed the outer shell and internal components of the spaceship, and confirmed that it is a titanium-rich alloy, but compared to our own titanium plate alloy, whether it is strength or other properties, it is more than ten times better."

"But its layout, mechanical structure, and electrical conduction, etc., have not exceeded conventional imagination. It has visible circuits and recognizable mechanical structures. In summary, we all believe that the technological strength of this spaceship is indeed far superior to ours, but it has not reached the point of being a divine object."

"Let's put it this way, we have the ability to know what parts of the spaceship are for, but we don't know its specific principle. If we are lucky enough to find a complete part, maybe we will use a word to describe it, what is it called?"

"Black Technology?" Yue Yuan interjected.

"Yes, Black Technology." Liu Miyan nodded, "But not completely black, because in our opinion, it does not violate the laws of nature."

What is Black Technology? It is knowledge that is not developed by human beings on their own, and is above the existing technology of human beings.

This Alien Spaceship is about two kilometers long and about eight hundred meters wide, which is very huge for human beings, but no weapons corresponding to its scale have been found. Several tube-like objects similar to launchers were found on the bottom of the outer shell, but no ammunition was found inside the ship.

According to the excavation report, either they were all used up or there were none at all. Some analyses believe that they are some kind of laser emitting device, and some functional speculations have been made on some corresponding components.

But no matter what the situation, it is already dilapidated.

The only thing worth learning for human beings is probably the design framework of the spaceship, such as the internal partitions and the layout of the cabins.

Human beings have no experience in building such a large spaceship, so even if it is almost an empty spaceship, there are things to learn.

"How much longer?" Yue Yuan asked.

Liu Miyan lowered his head to avoid a shelf and replied, "Three months."

"There's no time, speed up the progress, it must be cleaned up within two months, we can't wait any longer, if we can't find anything on this ship, then we must start the Emergency Hibernation Plan." At the fork in the road, Yue Yuan turned to look at the two.

"Has it really come to this?" Liu Miyan said in surprise. Of course, he knew about the Emergency Hibernation Plan, but he didn't know that this plan had never really been launched because Yue Yuan still had a glimmer of hope for this spaceship.

"Time waits for no one, let's work hard together." Yue Yuan didn't answer directly. After saying this, he turned and left.

After leaving the broken spaceship research institute, Yue Yuan went to the nuclear fusion research team again, but it was just to seek some psychological comfort.

The new Tokamak Device has been completed, and the research team is constantly trying various experiments, but this thing is not the latest generation technology of the original Earth at all. The stable burning time can last for more than 30 minutes, but the output energy is still less than the input energy.

Too bad.

A little upset, Yue Yuan returned to the office, continued to deal with daily affairs, and then ate a dinner made of industrially produced starch, the dish was artificial synthetic protein plus a few pitiful green vegetables.

The green vegetables are produced by the plantation, which Callisto Base originally had, the taste is okay, but it doesn't taste like anything after eating too much.

In terms of eating, because Earth is lost, the variety is pitifully small.

A while ago, Yue Yuan saw a plan report from the food department, which said that they would use artificial protein to make a highly concentrated protein bar, which is considered meat, and eating one can last for half a day.

The food department is also preparing to develop some protein bars with different flavors in the near future to fill people's taste buds as much as possible.

So far, human food is not scarce, but the variety is very monotonous.

Eating artificial starch and artificial protein all day long, plus a few dehydrated vegetable leaves is considered good, everyone is the same, so there is no complaint.

After finishing a tasteless dinner, Yue Yuan went to Doctor Yi Kai's biological laboratory again.

Yi Kai was originally here to preside over the research on human lifespan, but due to the sudden disaster, the laboratory is now a bit deserted, and the progress of the work is very slow due to resource allocation issues.

Two years have passed, and the serum that Yue Yuan left last time has not been used up.

In fact, many research projects are in a state where they cannot be completely stopped, just like this project.

Currently, humanity is still vigorously engaged in large-scale construction, but many internal research projects have already entered a state of semi-hibernation.

Yue Yuan is well aware that this state is unhealthy, but to break it, humanity must reach a new star system.

Thank you very much to kieos for the reward!
