Chapter 28: Twenty-Four Hours of Crisis (10)

When Yao Yuan and others arrived, another group of recovery teams from the underground temporary residence were rushing to the Hope.

The main task of the recovery team is to recover the anti-gravity system, life support system, circulation system, and some important equipment and parts. Although the Hope can manufacture these things, manufacturing requires a large amount of energy, materials, manpower, etc.

Therefore, these items must be recycled if they can be recycled.

One thing I have to mention here is that when the short-range life-sustaining vehicle was originally built, it was just for transporting children. But now, this short-range life-sustaining vehicle has actually become the most practical ground tool outside the Hope. It has a large loading capacity and is easy to drive.

, and its special tires can firmly grip the ground. Of course, the same people who have been stimulated by the fear of the universe, in order to pass the "quality" test, so the engine of this so-called short-range survival vehicle can be

Even better than large trucks!

Because of this, after discovering the usefulness of this short-range life-support vehicle after the evacuation, the military used it as a means of transportation, specifically for transportation, and even recorded the shortcomings of this short-range life-support vehicle.

etc., gathered the costs, and then sent them to the Hope research team.

At this moment, Yao Yuan and others happened to see several short-range life-support vehicles pulling a lot of things out of the temporary underground residence. After seeing Yao Yuan, these soldiers immediately saluted and briefly answered Yao Yuan.

After asking questions about the situation at the scene, they hurriedly hit the road and continued to send back these urgent items to the Hope.

Yao Yuan didn't care and continued walking towards the second floor construction site with the other four people. While walking along the way, Yao Yuan had already told Nian Xikong her mission, which was to pass on the information from the second floor to the second floor.

Three floors.

Because this method of transmission is different from what was originally imagined, it is impossible to express the meaning accurately in words. It is through the emotions expressed by her own singing that she transmits this emotion to the people around her. That is, Nian Xikong herself feels love and hate.

, bitterness and other emotions, the people around you also get this kind of emotion. Relatively speaking, it is not so accurate, at least it cannot accurately express instructions such as "make a communicator" or "communicate with the outside world".

Because of this, it is not very realistic to manufacture contacts in-house, because it requires technology. Originally, if it could be expressed accurately, it would be possible to force the internal staff to make the simplest wireless contact according to the instructions of experts, but since

It can't be expressed accurately. Let's not say whether the internal personnel have thought of manufacturing a wireless communicator. The technical problems alone are difficult to solve... There are no scientists on the third floor.

Because of this, Nian Xukong's initial mission has been cancelled. Her next mission is to comfort the people inside and keep them calm. Especially when the drilling equipment enters the ground, the people inside must not panic too much.

In fact, since the earthquake broke out, the passage on the third floor was blocked by collapse. It has been nearly thirteen hours. The ruminant medicine and strong acid inside should have been replaced at least once, and even the stocks of both times have been used.

Moreover, we lost contact with the outside world for more than ten hours. God knows what the situation inside is like.

When Yao Yuan led people to the open space on the second floor, the person in charge and several members of the Black Star Team rushed over immediately. Without any courtesy, they immediately told Yao about the situation of the entire underground temporary residence.

source, especially in the case of mining progress.

"...Major, most of the drilling operation has been carried out, but we have encountered a problem..." the person in charge said as soon as they met.

Immediately afterwards, he handed a simulation graph to Yao Yuan and said at the same time: "The previous drilling operations were very successful, and everything went according to plan, but now, when we are about to break through to the third layer, we are surprised.

We encountered a big difficulty..."

Yao Yuan looked at the various depictions on the simulation diagram and said after a long time: "You mean the cracks have grown bigger?"

The person in charge immediately nodded and said: "Yes, the cracks in the rock layer inside the junction of the second and third layers have increased. The drilling operation itself will bring various shocks and forces, and these shocks and forces have increased.

The cracks in the rock layer are loosening and expanding, and we are worried that if this continues, it is likely to..."

Yao Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly called Zhang Heng over, and then briefly told Zhang Heng the situation, and then asked Zhang Heng: "I have no other way to think of, this drilling channel must be realized, time

Urgent, except for this only way to survive, we have no other way to save the people below, so we must continue drilling... Zhang Heng, I leave you with the premonition of danger. This time using new human skills is likely to continue.

For several hours..."

Zhang Heng immediately saluted, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Major...Captain, you know me. Apart from the precognition ability of this new human being, I have nothing else, and I know nothing. If I even have this last

If I don't use all my abilities, then I will be useless and will turn back into that little bastard, so you can rest assured and leave this task to me!"

Yao Yuan patted Zhang Heng on the shoulder, and then passed him by. Just as Yao Yuan walked behind Zhang Heng, Zhang Heng seemed to hear such a voice in a trance.

"No, you still have us, Zhang Heng, you are a member of the Black Star Team."

"Keep drilling!"

Yao Yuan didn't care about Zhang Heng's actions behind him. Two members of the escort team followed him to ensure that they could catch him as soon as possible when he was unconscious. Yao Yuan didn't need to worry about all this.

He walked directly to Nian Xikong, and then said to the little girl very seriously: "Nian Xikong... can I call you Xiaokong? Xiaokong, you have also seen that the current situation is like this. The entire underground temporary residence

The ground is no longer safe. There are still more than 3,000 people waiting for rescue under our feet. They are now very scared, very frightened, cold and hungry. The air is probably quite turbid. They have no way to survive. Their only hope is us...

…”

"Xiaokong, you are not a soldier, you are just an ordinary citizen. Although in this universe, death and disaster will not distinguish whether you are a soldier or a civilian, but now I give you a choice... You can leave immediately and return to

Hope, because you heard what the person in charge said just now, the cracks in the rock are getting bigger and it is dangerous to continue drilling, and it is very likely that even the second layer will collapse."

"I'll give you a choice. You can return to the Hope, or you can stay and help those more than 3,000 people. You can choose... Please choose carefully, because it is very likely that your life will be involved."

Nian Xikong still lowered her head tightly, but she glanced at Yao Yuan gently with her eyes. After a long time, she nodded vigorously and said: "I think... I want to stay and help you."

Yao Yuan took a breath and said seriously: "Then please start singing. By the way, please completely sink into the state of silence on all sides, and try your best to let your singing reach those people at our feet.

on the representative light particles, without letting the people on the second floor hear it, because your singing... is so beautiful, and letting us hear it will affect our work, so please disconnect the contact and only let the people on the second floor hear it.

If people on the third floor hear this, can they try it like this?"

"By the way, please sing a soothing song about waiting for hope. After you finish singing, you can also sing about looking for contact... This point is a bit difficult, so just sing about looking for friendship or something else, and let the people inside think of a way.

Contact us."

Nian Xikong nodded hesitantly. After a moment, she disconnected the built-in communicator of the spacesuit. When she spoke again, Yao Yuan could no longer hear what he said.

Then Yao Yuanbian slowly told her with mouth shapes that she could start singing.

Nian Xikong did not sing directly, but closed her eyes directly. She slowly entered that state, and there was silence all around. Human beings, matter, everything had disappeared, and here was a dark and cold universe.

Space, loneliness, loneliness, danger. In this universe, only Nian Xikong exists. No, she is not a person now, but a ball of light.

Gradually, as Nian Xikong sank deeper and deeper into this state, several light balls appeared around him, one of which was the largest, like a small star, emitting light and heat to the surroundings, and Nian Xikong

The light balls in the evening sky immediately nestled next to this big light ball and were sheltered in its light and heat.

At the same time, Nian Xikong entered this state deeper than before. Gradually, in addition to these light balls, many light point particles emerged one by one, and in the distance, there were thousands of light points.

Particles emerged, but these light particles appeared very dull. Compared with the light particles around Nian Xikong, they seemed to be extinguished at any time.

"Don't be afraid, please don't be afraid, I will sing for you. There are many people above fighting for you, and he... He is also here, living and dying with you, so..."

"Please don't be afraid anymore, he will never abandon you!"

In this silence, Nian Xikong felt as if she had returned to that time many years ago, when she was hit by a truck, when she was only ten years old, and when she became a vegetative state for three years, where her consciousness and soul

Here, she can only use singing to drive away loneliness and fear...

"Sing, the song I sing for you..."

About fourteen hours after the earthquake broke out, the drilling hole penetrated to the third layer. Immediately afterwards was the vacuum isolation operation, and necessary materials such as space suits, communicators, ruminant chemicals, strong acids, etc. were dropped downwards...
