Chapter 723 Methods of Manipulation

"Xia Fan, Xia Fan! Wake up!"

Someone grabbed his shoulders and shook him twice.

Xia Fan's consciousness seemed to have returned to reality from illusion. His ears, which had been dead silent, became noisy and chaotic. There was Li's questioning voice and the increasingly rapid buzzing of the alarm. He glanced at the back of his hand, and the countdown number was less than two minutes.

Perhaps because he was in a daze for too long, his companions noticed that something was wrong.

He took a last look at the debris floating in the sky, turned his head and ran towards the high wall, "I'm fine, but the protective suit can't hold up. We have to go back to the small room before!"

The airtight door was closed again, and the moment the green button was pressed, the number officially returned to zero.

Perhaps because of the surplus design, Xia Fan did not immediately feel difficult to breathe after returning to zero, but the breath in the helmet was obviously turbid. One minute later, the green light went out, and he took off his helmet first and let out a long breath.

"What happened to you just now? It seems that you have suddenly lost your soul." Only then did Li ask.

The eyes cast by others were also full of concern.

Xia Fan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

Yes, they didn't have the concept of spacecraft and spaceport in their minds, so they couldn't make any associations with the metal debris scattered in the air. This was a blind spot in cognition. To them, those vaguely visible reflective objects were not much different from stars, they were all strange new world things.

What could he say?

A huge natural disaster?

The great destruction caused by the war?

Or did the evacuation of people completely damage the equipment that had been in disrepair for a long time?

In fact, he couldn't be sure what happened in the past. He only knew that this world seemed stable and orderly, but in fact it was full of dangers.

Living beings completely rely on the protection of high walls to survive in such a harsh environment.

But just like those debris, as long as there is a small gap, these thousands of meters high walls may collapse in an instant.

"Go to the patio area." Shengtian Zun suddenly said, "There may be the answers you need."

Looking at the slightly surprised eyes of Li and others, she didn't explain too much, turned around, opened the door of the airtight room, and walked towards the special train.

Seeing this, Li Mengyun has understood one thing.

That is, the man in front of her does have information that others don't know, especially about the ruins of the Kingdom of Heaven, perhaps more than the Pope has heard.

Her focus along the way has never moved away from the other person's face.

When he crossed the high wall and came to the dead land, he was surprised and solemn, but not at a loss. You must know that when facing completely unknown things, the most common reaction of people is not fear or shock, but confusion. This alone is enough to show that Xia Fan has a basic understanding of the situation in the new world.

In this case, can the secret of the patio area also be broken through in him?

In the past, Li Mengyun has always placed this hope on the Pope as a listener, and now she finds that there may be other options.

Back to the special train location, the carriage is still parked in the same place, and the rescue team in the alarm has never been seen.

"How is it, did you find anything?" asked Qian who stayed behind.

"We have gained a lot. I will tell you on the way." Xia Fan asked Shan Hui to put down the three bodies he was carrying and leaned over to explore.

"These people are..."

"Xia Fan said that they were the pioneers who built this place." Li Hui said, "Since we have met by chance, we should take them back and bury them properly."

"Are they the predecessors who failed to escape?" Qian's expression suddenly became more solemn. "I didn't expect that the corpses have been preserved until now."

Xia Fan naturally thought more.

He had noticed that among the group of dead people, the protective clothing of these three people was obviously much thicker than that of the passengers, and the colors were also different. If the protective clothing for passengers was for emergency use, then theirs was undoubtedly for long-term activities in an exposed environment. This kind of people is very likely to be the staff of the skylight and are responsible for the operation of the special train. For this reason, he asked Shan Hui to bring these people back to see if he could find anything useful.

As a result, after a search, Xia Fan really found some useful things.

For example, a recorder hanging on the chest and a work record book in the storage bag on the waist. There is also an ID card in the book, which clearly shows the identity and position of the deceased.

"Liu Wu AS".

"First-class crew chief".

"Number 432175".

Regardless of whether this person is called Liu Wu or Liu Wu AS, the role of the ID card is real - Xia Fan tried to insert the card into the card slot next to the "wardrobe", and the new partition door suddenly opened in front and behind the carriage. All the way forward to the front of the car, everyone saw the cockpit for the first time.

"You really have many tricks..." Li Mengyun couldn't help but sigh.

She has walked this important traffic road at least a dozen times, and she thought she was familiar with it. I didn't expect that there are so many doors and windows in it. Today is an eye-opener.

"Could it be that the special train is also a large mechanical beast, and this is its control console?" Luo raised his eyebrows lightly.

"You are right," Xia Fan nodded, "No matter how smart something is, people will always leave a window for direct intervention to deal with various unplanned situations."

"Then... do you know how to operate it?" Li asked curiously.

"Good question." Xia Fan licked his lips. This control panel had only one seat, not to mention buttons and instruments. It was as simple as a postmodern rough house. It seemed that the carriage was not far from being the best display of technology. This was where the core technology of the special train was located. Originally, he thought that there might be a reset lever or a start button that would allow him to interrupt the alarm and return the vehicle to normal. Now he could only try his luck.

He tried to sit on the seat and buckled his seat belt.

At that moment, the cockpit suddenly went dark, as if all light sources were blocked. At the same time, the seat rose quickly and lifted him into the air.

"Legal life form detected."

"Guidance in progress, please wait."

The familiar synthesized voice sounded again, but this time, the sound did not appear in the ear, but directly in the mind.

Then, a huge and three-dimensional track model emerged from the darkness. It was so complex that it looked like a vast star map!

Xia Fan subconsciously looked down.

There was no chair under him, nor were Li, Luo, and others... Even the walls of the cab disappeared without a trace. It was pitch black as far as he could see, and he was floating in front of this complex track diagram.

He finally understood how people would control everything when technology developed to a certain level.

——"Consciousness" is the most intuitive control program.
