Chapter 58 Chu Xuan Is in Operation
Chapter 58 · Chu Xuan is in operation...
Chu Xuan's unusual behavior did surprise Jiang Yu at first. But soon, he understood, or understood Chu Xuan's behavior.
It was just a gesture of goodwill, plus a series of temptations that he couldn't understand, but they definitely existed.
Chu Xuan just wanted to be accepted by the team more quickly and smoothly through this "helping companions" behavior. So that when he proposed a more radical tactic, the seniors would agree more quickly, instead of wasting too much time on unnecessary disputes and thinking because "someone's calculation was too cold-blooded."
Li Shuaxi was just a tool for him. Because this guy was the one who was most likely to make mistakes, the most likely to have problems, and the one with the least experience and experience. Whether it was using or fooling, it was the simplest and most convenient type. And Chu Xuan should have paid a lot of attention to him a long time ago, waiting for him to reveal the flaw that was bound to come.
And so far, the effect seems to be quite good. Just a few simple actions, not even a word is needed. Li Shuaxi became Chu Xuan's loyal follower. He followed Chu Xuan almost every step of the way, even if Cheng Xiao was actually a more suitable person to rely on.
A small episode, nothing more.
Soon, after arriving at the main control room, Zhan Lan and Zhang Jie each released telekinesis to remove the corpse fragments and acid erosion marks everywhere in the hall. After clearing a space for activities, Chu Xuan approached the control panel that looked the largest.
The machine made a slight sound due to the approach of the identity card, and the projection light screen with a physical effect emerged. And accompanied by a voice announcement that all reincarnations could clearly understand.
"Identity card detected... Authorization has been passed. Technical engineer, Chu Xuan, welcome to use the company's products..."
Large areas of light screens emerged. The words can be understood, but it is difficult to understand them together. Obviously, even with the future technology version of the fool-proof operating system, it will take some time for inexperienced ordinary people to master it quickly.
"Xia, can you understand it?" Jiang Yu asked his most reliable companion in the communication channel.
And he immediately received a positive answer.
"I understand, but it may not be very smooth to handle. It is difficult to drive this ship, but if you just apply some basic functions, it should not be a problem."
As expected.
Xia quickly approached a smaller operating platform to assist Chu Xuan in handling operations. She also had the operating authority, and soon, more light screens were projected, and then under Chu Xuan's slow operation at first, but soon became fast, they became simpler from complex, and finally arranged in a clear order on the large projection area at the front of the main control room.
What can be seen directly are about a hundred monitoring screens, of which nearly half have gone black. Chu Xuan quickly excluded them from the projection area. The second most intuitive is the perspective modeling of the ship, in which many parts are marked in black and red. The rest are a large number of historical operation records and stored video records.
If there is time, the reincarnations can even use the monitoring records here to watch the revised version of Alien 1 again. But now, this kind of thing does not need to be considered for the time being.
After all, there is Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan only took less than a minute to sort out a lot of useful information.
"There are some good news, and some not-so-good news." Chu Xuan pushed his glasses. Obviously, he had a clear understanding of the combat power ratio between the enemy and us.
"First, Ripley's lifeboat left about six hours ago. It adopted a... more radical method. The hull was damaged as a result, and before she left, she set a countdown for the power reactor to overload."
"Of course, this problem has been solved by the exploration team that arrived before us. The overload command was remotely canceled and locked. And an elite team also successfully arrived at the damaged area and manually closed the isolation door of the damaged area. Of course, this still caused a lack of air in the transport barge, and this is why there was still negative pressure in the ship when we arrived."
Zheng Zha breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't say it. But he was really afraid that a power reactor would explode.
"And the not-so-good news is that they were quickly knocked down by the aliens and then parasitized. And after that, three teams came in succession - the one closest to us arrived an hour ago, and among the total four teams. The total number of people should be close to 150. And we should be the last one, and the most elite and strongest one under the company. Because the fourth team immediately chose to hold on instead of evacuating after arriving and setting up the forward position. And persisted for a full half an hour."
Holding on means waiting for reinforcements. Strong enough reinforcements.
And unfortunately, this reinforcement was delayed for various reasons. It failed to arrive on time.
"Poor people... May they rest in peace." Zhan Lan sighed softly. "And I remember that the hatching time of the aliens ranges from a few minutes to a few hours?"
"Yeah." Chu Xuan nodded. "That's right, the record caused by these 150 people is not much. And they are not all killed in battle, but most of them were captured. And this means that when we just arrived, there should be a batch of alien larvae that have just been born."
Alien larvae, a stage that is easily overlooked. It takes a certain amount of time for the alien to grow from breaking out of the chest, but this time may be short or long, it may be a few minutes, it may be a few hours. And before they grow up, it is very likely that they will be regarded as small creatures such as facehuggers by a cursory scan.
"...I'll go and see it right away." Zhan Lan closed his eyes. "In the warehouse... damn, I found them! There is indeed a group of rapidly growing alien larvae. Some of them look stronger than others!"
"It's the Queen's guard." Jiang Yu said in a deep voice. "In a large-scale alien community, the queen's guards will be born. Normally, they should be born together with the queen...but occasionally there are special circumstances."
Now is a special situation.
"I remember... the fighting power of the queen's guards is not stronger than that of the queen." Zheng Zha pressed his temple. He seemed a little distressed, but his voice sounded more like he was eager to try.
"But they are more flexible and good at fighting. In addition, they appear in plurals. Overall, there may be two to three queens in combat." Jiang Yu nodded and said: "While they haven't grown up yet, Killing them in the cradle is a suitable strategy...Chu Xuan, can you block all the isolation doors and leave only one channel for us to reach the alien nest? "
"It can be done, but I personally don't recommend it." Chu Xuan operated the buttons a few times, nodded, and then shook his head. "First of all, the alien's perception is very keen. When we appear here, we should already be in the Queen's intelligence system. And now we are far away from it, so we will not cause an overreaction from it. And the other party should already know the current situation. The disparity in combat power between the enemy and us means that once I lower the isolation gate, it may stimulate it to launch a final counterattack in a desperate battle. "
"so?"
"The Alien Queen is a very intelligent creature. After realizing that she is bound to die, dying together, or threatening to die together, will become the other party's course of action. As far as the information I know so far, there are two ways for it to do so. Threatening us."
Chu Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed at two places on the projection of the ship body.
"First, the core power furnace. Although the overload function of the power furnace has been locked. But I am not familiar with the precision power machinery of this era. After using strong acid or brute force collision, it is still possible for the machinery to become structurally unstable. Even if it does not explode, the forced shutdown of the power furnace may trigger a system reset when the backup energy is activated. At present, I cannot find the underlying command of the system. After the reset, the isolation doors may all be closed, but there is also a possibility. Open as many as possible.”
If all the isolation doors are opened, the terrain will become favorable to the aliens. Coupled with the lack of lighting, the difficulty of the battle will further increase.
"Second, the escape cabin escape area. There was a collision when Ripley escaped. There were many leaks. Although the advance team before us had closed and locked all the isolation doors. But compared to the entire As far as the spacecraft is concerned, it is still the most vulnerable breakthrough point. If the alien uses the acid blood of four or five individuals to open a path and destroy several key blockade points, then even if the ship does not explode on the spot due to structural stress, the air inside will still be damaged. It will also be cleared in a very short period of time.”
Naturally, I didn’t say anything about the ship blowing up. In a vacuum environment, once an alien is really sucked out of space, it will not die. Then it is really difficult for reincarnations.
Very troublesome.
But a qualified strategist who wants to fight for the right to speak. While pointing out the trouble, corresponding solutions will also be given.
"I suggest that we divide our troops into multiple groups. I will gradually lower the isolation gates near here and the initial point. Before that, I suggest that the seniors divide into two teams to attack the weak areas of the power furnace and escape boats at the same time. And I will be here During this period, the isolation doors in each area will be gradually lowered. The disadvantage of this is that it will take more time to eliminate the aliens. At the same time, the two teams may be besieged and face excessive combat pressure. At the same time, the Queen's guards will also grow. The combat difficulty during the final rendezvous may be a little higher.”
"And the advantage... is that the aliens no longer have the opportunity to die with us, or threaten us to delay the time. The possibility of the Lord God's mission being successfully completed will increase, and there will be no additional variables."
The pros and cons are clear. Chu Xuan's previous show of kindness quickly took effect at this moment.
Considering the combat power and intelligence advantages possessed by the veterans, pursuing safety is an inevitable outcome.
Inside the thunder cloud armor, Jiang Yu lowered his eyes.
When Chu Xuan started to analyze, he kept observing Chu Xuan while unlocking the gene lock. And he noticed that Chu Xuan had a very brief hesitation when he mentioned Ripley's escape cabin.
