No matter more than 10,000 years ago the different kind arrives at Earth from Plane of Dreams the time had anything, they forgot own hometown and passing all, Siren is also so. Hao Ren can imagine initially the scene in this city: Nasaton crashes into the Pacific bottom across the huge space fissure, takes root in this smooth deep sea steadily, Siren in strange in the star ship city wakes up, is completely ignorant to own all and deep puzzled. They do not know that who this city is constructs as well as how constructs, does not know that city real function, they only know oneself wake up naturally here, then lives- until now, they greatest achievement grasped the operating procedure of city life-support systems and part of defense systems also knows how to maintain them simply, but to the guidance, flight and the navigation database star ship city knew nothing. The reason is very simple, these systems related to the core, are phenomenally complex, is not these moves the simple equipment that several valves and buttons can revolve to compare, Siren do not know the writing in system. But Hao Ren believes that in these ancient operating systems records certainly the Siren mother Xing information. This is a colonizing ship, naturally also possibly escapes the spaceship, looked in any case the scale it is not definitely used the sightseeing trip in the stellar system,” Hao Ren is pointing at periphery these grand facilities, facial expression as if on face the profiteer that sells the real estate, „the customs when according to the interplanetary navigation criteria as well as overwhelming majority intelligent bio-manufacture guiding systems of most foundation, this type of spaceship must record mother Xing relative position in the universe- demarcates a star position in the universe is the foundation schoolwork. Presently earthman metropolis/can, can make Siren of this type of spaceship definitely also to be able. If I have not guessed that wrong in the spaceship should have a database, saves the celestial chart specially. According to welling up the power inference of nuclear of water, this ship should have the ability of ii levels of spatial transition in complete period, therefore the celestial chart range will be very big, enough we found its reference in the universe.” The line of sight of people looks to Queen Siren, the latter both hands spread out to think for quite a while, the tail coiled a question mark in the midair: What are you saying?” Everyone: „......” Eh......” Hao Ren installed the half-day expert with great difficulty, at this time was almost choking oneself. I go, you should be theoretically this ship past captain come...... not to tell that you well was so complex. Does Nasaton have the place of similar central office? Has many display devices. Big pile of buttons, cannot see the function the operation panel, does not have an egg with, but is the indicating lamp of keeping doing, you possibly do not know why it uses. But it obviously is very important- has such room?” Queen Siren raised the hand refers to the palace ruins of not far away: That is.” Bridge had been blasted by us,” Y’zaks is hugging one's shoulders, palace is a bridge.” Hao Ren pats the forehead: I gave to forget.” Reached the impass?” The white fire asked one curiously, in own teacher revealed on own initiative after this group of different kind curiosity, she can ask the issue finally frankly and uprightly. No, we do not need the bridge,” Hao Ren making an effort is seething in the mind that «Star Ship Theory of structures» and «Spaceship Guideline», database is impossible to place on the bridge, should take care in the spaceship safer core cabin. The bridge is only one pile of operation terminals. We found these lines on the line, then received the database...... everyone to look separately, looked that can seethe the main structure of bridge from the ruins. Then comes out the main line clear.” This is a big project,” Queen Siren responded rapidly: We call the manpower, is clean entire ruins cleaning up.” Vivian nods: Also good, making everyone has the matter to do, helping the spirit restore.” Shaqira and Soma swim to convene immediately everywhere these effective Siren, transmits queen's order to make them have the person to clean up the palace ruins. Crowds of Siren quick from gather in all directions hence. Some also bring the equipment that nearby can find. The scene lives it up immediately, Siren are transporting the fragment on ruins bustling. They are dissimilar in shape and form, have to look like the merpeople, has to look like the sea snake, has elephant hide skin shrimp, has to look like the king cuttlefish, two are also hitting Roll compared with the tank big sea urchin from nearby Roll in the past- does not know that they want to do, was delimits the water to come probably. Hao Ren got one group of little friends to look at the scene of this bad people running wild dumbfoundedly, the heart says at present Siren monster character really as appropriate as bone to inter the body three points, you looked that they were busy at work this weaponry to fight the difference of wool against the monster. Lily extended the neck to look at for quite a while, was a little quite sigh with emotion: „A race can produce so many styles, is really the art.” „The sea urchins of shrimp and 99 types that you look at these 59 types ,” Hao Ren turns head to look to Nangong Wuyue, said from the bottom of one's heart, you are willing to turn into this?” Nangong Wuyue is lowering the head with the tail with total concentration is poking a small stone sharp: I will not fight in any case, I will not fight in any case......” Hao Ren: „......” The strength of water is strong, particularly in the city of this deep sea, the Siren strength can obtain the biggest display. These giant ruins fragment same and swimming crabs are pushing running all over the place with the remnants of destroyed buildings on as if the bubble toy by 59 type shrimp, the biggest collapsing section was cleaned up the approximate outline quickly. Hao Ren carried Mobile Data Terminal to start in the place that these cleaned up to seek for the frame of bridge, Queen Siren followed initially by him, why place recalled these remnant bricks to break under Vanuatu depending on the memory is. When the clean-up is actively conducting, a group of special helpers arrived at the scene suddenly. That is one crowd of different kind Blood Clan fellow, Werewolf, the shadow demon, several short could not have seen the race. After these people come, starts to help clean up the ruins not silently, Shaqira looks at them surprisedly: You......” Werewolf lifts the column of root break to pass through from side, he grins to smile: Listens to that General Siren to raise here to clean up the ruins, we idle are also idling , helping move the thing, you cannot attend to us in any case for a short time return to the ashore.” Actually I do not want to help,” Blood Clan shrugs, later awed looked at Vivian direction one, „, but the elder sent a small bat to ask us...... this to dare not to listen.” Hao Ren looked at Vivian one accidentally/surprisingly, the latter beckons with the hand indifferently: I sent the bat to say one to them in the past.” They so will never be expected that magnanimous,” Y’zaks feels the chin, I also think that they at least need to compensate anything with the Siren point of contention.” Most different kind outmoded this, we like going straight there and coming straight back,” Vivian smiled, „, since did to understand Siren was also a victim, that had nothing to investigate. Fortunately survives from the myth time, many people are very practical.” Naturally, will definitely have some anger is quite big,” Soma lifts the body to look to the distant place, that direction has the disorder water current, transmits noisily indistinctly, clashed evidently, I had a look at the situation in the past.” Vivian shakes the head: Comes from the different ethnic groups eventually, behavior and conduct and standard of conduct is different, this throughout is in a state of disunity.” The white fire whispered in side: „The different kind face very big social concern evidently.” No, we biggest social concern almost did not have the society,” Vivian looked at white fire one, did obeisance you to bestow.” Hasse shrugs, did not speak. Mobile Data Terminal has slid by a metal column of collapse, the ray that its front sends out sweeps to sweep off, outlines the pipeline structure that the underground certain depth hidden. At this time it exuded whistling sound suddenly: Implored- this aircraft found.” Nearby person interrupts the respective topic immediately and is attracted, Hao Ren saw that the Mobile Data Terminal light beam is shining, in sliced off by the simultaneous/uniform root, as if in palace pillar/backbone same installment. He goes forward to install the surrounding residual fragment to clean up that discovered that following is hiding large number of pipelines and lines. Here is the place that the past navigator worked, this aircraft examines certainly it to have large number of lines to some center node.” Mobile Data Terminal is saying, while approaches these lines, in its total information image also presents the progress bar that the connection and decodes. Queen Siren looks at this place surprisedly, long time spreads out the hand: I do not know that...... I curl frequently on this pillar sleep, but I do not know that it does do.” Hao Ren: „......” Found the navigation data,” after waiting for long time, Mobile Data Terminal reported finally the good news, Io, the Siren mother Xing name is Io.” ( to be continued ) 不管一万多年前异类们从梦位面来到地球的时候发生了什么,他们都忘记了自己的故乡和过往的一切,海妖也是如此。郝仁可以想象到当初这座城市里的景象:纳萨托恩穿过巨大的空间裂痕坠入太平洋底,在这片平坦的深海稳稳扎根,海妖们在“陌生”的星舰城市中醒来,对自己的一切都茫然无知并深深困惑。她们不知道身边这座城市是谁建造以及如何建造,更不知道城市真实的作用,她们只知道自己理所应当地在这里醒来,然后就此生活下去-时至今日,她们最大的成就只是掌握了城市维生系统和一部分防御系统的操作方法并且知道怎么简单维护它们,但对星舰城市的导航、飞行、航行数据库就一无所知了。原因很简单,这些系统涉及核心,空前复杂,远不是那些扳动几个阀门和按钮就能运转起来的简单装置可比的,海妖们不认识系统上的文字。但郝仁坚信那些古老的操作系统里一定记录着海妖母星的信息。“这是一艘殖民船,当然也可能是逃亡飞船,反正看规模它肯定不是用来在恒星系内观光旅游的,”郝仁指着周围那些宏伟的设施,脸上的神情就仿佛一个正在推销房地产的奸商,“根据最基础的星际航行准则以及绝大部分智慧生物制造导航系统时的习惯,这种飞船必须记载自己母星在宇宙中的相对位置-在宇宙中标定一颗星星的位置是基础功课。当前的地球人都会,能造出这种飞船的海妖肯定也会。如果我没猜错的话飞船里应该有一个数据库,是专门存储星图的。按照涌水之核的功率推断,这艘船在完好时期应该具备ii级空间跃迁的能力,所以星图范围会很大,足够我们在宇宙中找到它的起始位置。”众人的视线看向海妖女王,后者双手摊开想了半天,尾巴在半空卷成一个问号:“你们在说什么?”所有人:“……”“额……”郝仁好不容易装了半天专家,这时候差点把自己呛着。“我去,你理论上应该是这艘船当年的船长来着……好吧不跟你说这么复杂了。纳萨托恩有没有类似中央控制室的地方?带有很多显示设备。一大堆按钮,看不出功能的操作面板,还有没个卵用但就是闪个不停的指示灯,你可能不知道它是干啥用的。但它很显然非常重要-有这样的房间么?”海妖女王抬手指向不远处的宫殿废墟:“那就是。”“舰桥已经被咱们炸掉了,”伊扎克斯抱着肩膀,“宫殿就是舰桥。”郝仁一拍脑门:“我给忘了。”“又陷入僵局了?”白火好奇地问了一句,在自己的导师主动显露出对这帮异类的好奇心之后,她终于可以正大光明地提问题了。“不,我们不需要舰桥,”郝仁使劲翻腾着自己脑海里那点《星舰结构学》和《飞船设计指南》,“数据库不可能放在舰桥上,应该是在飞船更安全的核心舱室保管着。舰桥只是一堆操作终端。我们找到那些线路就行,然后接到数据库里……大家分头找找,看能不能从废墟里翻腾出舰桥的主结构。然后把主要线路清出来。”“这可是个大工程,”海妖女王迅速反应过来:“我们召集人手,把整个废墟清理干净。”薇薇安点点头:“也好,让大家有事做,有助于精神恢复。”莎琪拉索玛立刻到处游着把那些管事的海妖召集起来,传达女王的命令让她们带人来清理宫殿废墟。一群群的海妖很快从四面八方聚拢至此。一些还带来了就近能找到的设备。现场顿时热闹起来,海妖们热火朝天地搬运着废墟上的碎块。她们形态各异,有像人鱼的,有像海蛇的,有像皮皮虾的,有像大王乌贼的,还有俩比坦克还大的海胆打着从附近过去-也不知道她们想干啥,大概是划水来了。郝仁领着一帮小伙伴目瞪口呆地看着眼前这群魔乱舞的场面,心说海妖的“妖”字果然贴切到入骨三分,你看她们忙活起来这阵仗跟妖怪打架有个毛的区别。莉莉伸着脖子看了半天,颇有点感慨:“一个种族能产生这么多画风,真是艺术啊。”“你看这五九式的皮皮虾和99式的海胆,啧啧,”郝仁扭头看向南宫五月,“发自肺腑地说,你愿意变成这样?”南宫五月正聚精会神地低头用尾巴尖戳着一块小石头:“反正我不会打架,反正我不会打架……”郝仁:“……”水的力量是强大的,尤其是在这深海之城,海妖的力量能得到最大的发挥。那些巨大的废墟碎块和残垣断壁就仿佛泡沫玩具一样被59式皮皮虾和海螃蟹们推着乱跑,最大的坍塌地段很快就被清理出了大致轮廓。郝仁拎着数据终端开始在那些清理出来的地方寻找当初舰桥的框架,海妖女王跟在他旁边,凭记忆回溯这些残砖断瓦下面原本是干什么的地方。而在清理工作正紧张进行的时候,一批特殊的帮手突然来到了现场。那是一群异类-血族,狼人,影魔,还有几个身材矮小看不出种族的家伙。这些人过来之后就一言不发地开始帮忙清理废墟,莎琪拉惊讶地看着他们:“你们……”一个狼人举着根断裂的立柱从旁边走过,他咧嘴笑了笑:“听那个海妖将军提起这里正在清理废墟,我们闲着也是闲着,来帮忙搬搬东西,反正你们一时半会也顾不上把我们送回岸上吧。”“其实我不想来帮忙的,”一位血族耸了耸肩,随后略带敬畏地看了薇薇安的方向一眼,“但长者派了一只小蝙蝠来叫我们……这谁敢不听啊。”郝仁意外地看了薇薇安一眼,后者无所谓地摆摆手:“我只是派蝙蝠过去跟他们说了一声。”“没想到他们会这么大度,”伊扎克斯摸着下巴,“我还以为他们至少要跟海妖们争点赔偿什么的。”“大部分异类不兴这个,我们更喜欢直来直去,”薇薇安笑了起来,“既然搞明白了海妖也是受害方,那就没什么可追究的了。都是从神话时代幸存下来的,很多人都很实际。”“当然,肯定还会有一些火气比较大的,”索玛抬起身子看向远方,那个方向有紊乱的水流,一阵嘈杂隐隐约约地传来,看样子是爆发了冲突,“我过去看看情况。”薇薇安摇摇头:“终究都来自不同的族群,为人处世和行为准则都不一样,这样始终是一盘散沙。”白火在旁边嘀咕了一句:“看样子异类面临很大的社会问题。”“不,我们最大的社会问题就是几乎没有社会了,”薇薇安看了白火一眼,“拜你们所赐。”哈苏耸耸肩,也不吭声。数据终端在一座倒塌的金属立柱旁边滑过,它前端发出的光芒扫来扫去,勾勒出地下一定深度隐藏起来的管线结构。这时候它突然发出一阵哨声:“吁-本机找到了。”附近的人立刻中断各自话题并被吸引过来,郝仁看到数据终端的光束正照射在一座被齐根削掉的、仿佛宫殿支柱一样的装置上。他上前把那装置周围的残渣碎块清理开,发现下面隐藏着大量管道和线路。“这里一定是当年的导航员工作的地方,本机检测到它有大量线路通往某个中枢节点。”数据终端一边说着,一边靠近那些线路,它的全息影像上随之呈现出连接与破解的进度条来。海妖女王惊讶地看着这地方,良久才摊开手:“我不知道……我经常卷在这根柱子上睡觉,但我不知道它是干什么的。”郝仁:“……”“找到导航数据了,”在等待了很长时间之后,数据终端终于报告了好消息,“艾欧,海妖母星的名字是艾欧。”(未完待续) ... ...
