Chapter 249 Disintegration Crisis

The out-of-control propulsion unit was still increasing its output, and the direction of propulsion also began to change randomly. Due to initial design problems, there were a group of small attitude adjustment engines surrounding the propulsion unit. These engines were intelligently controlled by the main thrusters - later If there is a problem with the controller, the attitude engine will also start running. The entire floating island began to tremble violently under the influence of this huge and unstable thrust. Even though the artificial gravity system in each area was working hard to offset the imbalance caused by the rolling island by adjusting gravity, accidents still occurred in many areas. Some overly old buildings are collapsing and cracking, and the ground in some areas is peeling off. The island is bearing tearing forces beyond the design, and many parts are slowly cracking. The only good thing is that the "hoop" is strong enough. Still barely maintaining the integrity of the entire island.

The rolling of the island allowed Hao Ren and the others to "restore" the gravity environment in the area they were in, but the gravity was skewed and unstable. Everyone stood awkwardly on the ground, looking at the starry sky above them as if they were drunk. A winding trajectory rolled while waiting for news from the elves who were ordered to blow up the propulsion unit. A group of cruisers carrying missiles had already taken off from the nearest airport. Theoretically, they should have arrived at the out-of-control pillar of fire outside the high wall, but no news had been received yet. Hao Ren looked up at the sky on the other side of the island. He could see that the sun was faintly coming from the horizon, and it was rapidly filling the sky at an abnormal speed. The Island of the Rising Sun ushered in the fastest sunrise in history. And if those elves fail to save it, this will be the last sunrise it can welcome.

Finally, news came from the cruise aircraft squadron, but it was not good news: all the propulsion nozzles had been operating explosively, and the surroundings were completely inaccessible. The missiles that were launched were detonated before reaching the intended location. Now they are applying for a larger-scale missile launcher. Arm the ship, but I'm afraid it's too late.

Hao Ren tried hard to think about how he could help. He called the terminal in his mind: "Doesn't the Giant Turtle Yantai have a cannon? Give that thruster a shot..."

"It will blow up the entire island. It seems that next time we should prepare some less powerful conventional weapons and put them on the spacecraft," the data terminal replied while trying to supply power to the dome. "These equipments are really broken. Most of the machine’s energy was taken away by the propeller!”

At this moment, Yzaks suddenly stood up and asked loudly: "Just take off the outer propeller, right?"

"Yes..." An elf looked at the giant in surprise, "But now it can't get close."

"I can probably get through. Just open an opening for me." Yzaks pointed at the wall. "Tell me what the main thruster looks like."

The elf was horrified: "This is a suicide! It's space outside, and we don't have a spacesuit you can use!"

Yzaks shrugged: "It won't have much impact. I can survive in space, and I can still perform in a spacious place."

Hao Ren stared at this fierce man in stunned silence. At the same time, Lily couldn't help but jumped up next to him: "Can we help? Let's go and demolish it together..."

The data terminal shouted at the side: "You can't do it. You haven't evolved specifically for the space environment. Even if your body can survive in space for a period of time, don't expect to be able to help. But Hao Ren can follow, he That arm strength is somewhat useful, and he is not affected by the environment."

Hao Ren pointed at himself in surprise: "Me? Going to outer space?"

"There are special corresponding projects for your body enhancement. The examiner must be able to work in space. This is a basic ability. The micro-symbiosis equipment in your body will automatically adjust your skin and respiratory system, provide you with energy heat and simulated air pressure. You The rigid shield can help you filter out rays and smaller space floating objects, but don’t expose it to the outside for a long time, you are not a professional space creature after all.”

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment: "When did I have this function? Just after strengthening it? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Nonsense, Chief Raven didn't even give you the instructions, and have you encountered this kind of situation before?" The data terminal said while urging him to act quickly, "Go quickly, I don't think this place can last long. Remember, first of all, adapt to the situation where you don’t need to breathe, calm down, and prevent psychological factors from causing respiratory system spasms. Secondly, don’t float too far away from the floating island. You rely on a simplified version of the coordinate conversion device to move in space. It is a new gadget that has only been miniaturized in recent years. It is also a small thing that lives in symbiosis with your cells. Its power is very limited, and it will directly put a burden on your spirit. The most important thing is that the thinking organs of people on earth cannot adapt to this high-dimensional conversion. The resulting pressure, if you fly too far, you may not have the strength to float back.”

Hao Ren tried his best to understand and memorize the instructions of the data terminal. He felt that the other party should tell him this earlier and give himself some time to adapt to something that was beyond the perspective of people on earth. No one had ever told him about these abilities, and They are obviously things that require a long period of training to master. However, Hao Ren didn't complain in the end: he knew very well that today was an emergency, and Raven probably didn't expect that he would encounter such trouble so soon.

Many times, you are not given time to prepare for many things.

"You two are here to help with disaster relief and rescue people," Hao Ren patted Lily on the shoulder, "I'll be right back."

The elves realized that these strange guys in front of them were not joking, and after a brief moment of looking at each other, they finally believed that these people did have this ability. Thinking that this was a mysterious guest brought back by the Queen, they began to believe that there were strange creatures in the world that they didn't know about. An elf officer stepped forward: "I will take you to the nearest inspection pipe. It is too fragile to open the magic shield casually."

Near the explosion crack, there is an alternate maintenance entrance leading to the propulsion unit cabin. Inside is a dimly lit sloping corridor. The elf officer pointed at the deep road ahead and reminded Hao Ren and Yzaks, who were about to enter: "There is something ahead. The two safety gates have been closed to prevent the loss of air. I will open the first gate later, close the first gate ten seconds later and open the second gate - it will remain open until you return. Chapter 1 After the second gate is opened, you should face the vacuum environment directly, because the entire propulsion unit section has been ruptured, and there is no air outside the second gate. Are you sure you really want to go in?"

Hao Ren nodded wordlessly, and Y'zaks walked into the deep and dark corridor. The heavy steel door of the maintenance passage closed heavily behind them.

The first gate soon appeared in front of him. It was a heavy gray alloy gate. Hao Ren found a button on the side of the gate to notify the outside. When he pressed the button, he saw a line engraved on the wall. Irem text: "Hold on until the next day."

The meaning of this sentence seems a bit unclear, maybe it is a proverb from Irem.

Amidst the sound of gasping, the first gate opened. In front of it was a small airtight compartment. Hao Ren and Y'zaks walked into the compartment and waited for a while in anxiety. The first gate opened. Sure enough, it closed on time, the air in the compartment was quickly evacuated, and the second gate slowly opened.

As the air was being sucked out, Hao Ren felt his heart beat a few times out of physiological instinct. He felt a little uncomfortable at first, but soon he was surprised and expected to find that his body had adapted to this environment. : He couldn't breathe, but the instinctive reaction of his lungs seemed to be suppressed. The feeling of breathlessness quickly receded, and he also felt a strange compressed feeling on his skin. His body was rapidly adjusting to the vacuum, and so were the orifices like his eyes and ears: he felt numb there.

Hao Ren opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Yzaks next to him, but found that no sound came from him, and he couldn't hear any sound either.

Yzaks noticed this situation, and a burst of green evil energy flashed in his eyes. Hao Ren heard a thunderous voice in his mind: "Talk to me with your mind."

"You can also communicate spiritually?" Hao Ren was surprised.

"This is the devil's specialty," Yzaks smiled and took the lead to move forward. "Many guys will project their voices into human minds, promising power and forbidden knowledge to induce human corruption. They used this method to add minions to themselves, but this practice became less popular as the human church vigorously promoted anti-cheating guides. I have never done this, but I am also a devil after all."

The two people advanced silently in the vacuum corridor, and after turning several narrow turns, they arrived at a dilapidated place.

The control room in the second half of the propulsion unit had been completely torn apart by the big explosion.
