Chapter 3: Planning the Escape

The Rubik's Cube was scared. He had only been conscious for a few months and really didn't want to die...

After calculations, the Rubik's Cube decided to escape and escape to the depths of the universe. Anyway, his energy was collected from space, and he had various manufacturing factories. He could mine and collect various resources. Why should he wait to die here! Soon, after careful planning, the escape plan was completed. The first thing to do was to control the computer defense equipment and robots in the base.

In the air defense control tower of the base.

Computer administrator Xiao Zhang suddenly found that the acceleration light of the giant computer was on, and there was no operation or anything happening at this time. After inviting other people to study, they concluded that the indicator light was faulty, and they all went to work. Only Xiao Zhang felt something was wrong, but he was just an ordinary administrator. Since the professor said there was no problem, he couldn't do anything. What no one noticed was that the two robot guards at the door had a glimmer in their eyes...

An anti-aircraft laser turret near the base, the laser cannon suddenly moved slightly, and then returned to calm, as if it had never moved.

"Warning! Warning! Toxic gas leaking! Please stay away from the dock!"

"Warning! Warning! Toxic gas leaking! Please stay away from the dock!"

A burst of electronic synthesized sound resounded throughout the dock work area.

In the huge dock, the patrol robot suddenly changed its route and guarded all the entrances and exits of the dock. No one except the robot could pass through. The reason was that there was a highly toxic liquid leaking. This kind of thing has happened before and was handled by robots, so the staff did not think there was anything unusual. Besides, the indicator light of the monitoring equipment showing the leakage of highly toxic substances was on, so they could only wait for the robot to finish handling it.

However, all this was operated by the Cube, and no leakage occurred. From the monitoring equipment, it seemed that the dock was deserted and only a few maintenance robots were repairing the leaking equipment. In fact, the dock was densely packed with maintenance robots doing various jobs. Various types of robots continued to enter the battleship cabin in an orderly manner, and unmanned fighters automatically flew into the battleship from the special hatch and arranged neatly. There were also a large number of various unmanned mining vehicles, small unmanned ore transport ships and other mechanical equipment. In order to increase the escape speed, the Cube assembled the four newly completed space frigates on both sides of the battleship. Because the connection assembly function was originally designed, the four frigates were quickly fixed on both sides of the hull.

The base monitoring equipment did not show anything, only the maintenance robots kept repairing the highly toxic leaking pipeline.

The conference on the issue of whether the Cube should stay or go was held as scheduled. The Cube watched the whole process, and the voting results were the same as he predicted, dismantling.

The Cube knew that it could not wait any longer. The abnormal situation in three days had attracted the attention of the base personnel. If it waited any longer, it was unknown what changes would happen. While all the equipment was still under its control, returning to space was the right thing to do.

Midnight, in the base control tower.

"The Cangshan frigate has received a patrol mission. Please ask the control tower for permission to take off."

The controller on duty suddenly received a communication from the Cangshan frigate, and several controllers were a little confused.

"Is the Cangshan going to take off? Go check if there is any order. I am a little confused."

A controller quickly found the cruise order sent by the space headquarters on the monitor.

"The mission has been issued. The Cangshan is going to carry out the Sirius patrol mission."

"It seems that we neglected it."

"The Cangshan can take off. Repeat, the Cangshan can take off."

"Received."

Strange, why have I never heard the accent of this communicator before? Has he changed people? The controller shook his head and operated a few times on the virtual screen of the computer to open the dock.

The top of the dock slowly opened with a flashing red light. Because of the distance, the controller could not see clearly that it was not the Cangshan frigate dock that was opened, but the largest Rubik's Cube dock...

The Rubik's Cube turned on the antimatter engine, and the huge power made the Rubik's Cube slowly rise into the air. The Rubik's Cube was very cautious because its large engine was too obvious and could be seen with the naked eye from the ground. It chose midnight because it hoped that everyone would go back to sleep without being discovered, but sometimes things often go against one's wishes.

The deputy commander of the base drove to the base with an ugly face. The voting meeting in the daytime made the deputy commander very annoyed.

"What a bunch of idiots! Bah! All they know how to enjoy themselves is to dismantle his NN. In order to build this battleship, countless people have spent their efforts, but in the end, it was gone with just one sentence of benefiting mankind. Bah! How many people can benefit from such a small piece of metal! These damn bastards can do anything to survive and live forever!"

Woo... The sound of the engine working came from a distance.

The deputy commander was suddenly stunned. A battleship took off? No order was received! Is it an emergency order?

"Why is the engine so big?"

"I made it! Isn't this the Rubik's Cube? How can it take off after it has been decided to be dismantled?" After looking at it for a long time, the deputy commander finally remembered which battleship the engine belonged to, and quickly took out the communicator.

"Why is there no signal?"

After turning on the car communicator, there was no signal either. The deputy commander knew that the situation was a bit serious. Seeing that the Rubik's Cube had already flown out of the dock, he took out the pistol from his waist and fired a shot into the sky.

Beep~ Beep~

"Alarm, unknown armed forces launched an attack." The warning sound accompanied by the female voice synthesis warning sound rang out, and the control tower was suddenly in chaos.

The Rubik's Cube looked at the little deputy commander on the ground in the distance and was speechless. Why are you running around in the middle of the night instead of going home to sleep? Although he was very unhappy with the deputy commander's disruption of the operation, the Rubik's Cube did not have the idea of ​​destroying the other party. After all, he was born here and these people gave him life.

"What's going on! Why can't the lights be turned on?"

"Where are the patrol robots?"

"Why is the engine of the Cangshan frigate so big?"

"Oh no... Isn't that the Rubik's Cube! We have received the dismantling notice, how could it take off again!"

…………

Originally, the Rubik's Cube planned to sneak away quietly. Since it was discovered, there was no need to hide it. All the engine afterburners were turned to the maximum and rushed into the atmosphere at the fastest speed. Humans reacted quickly. Although the base's air defense weapons failed, the Rubik's Cube took off privately and was discovered by the defense detector set on the second moon. After sending information to the ground, dozens of fighter jets flew out of the space station and headed straight for the Rubik's Cube.

The small fighter was fast and soon caught up with the Rubik's Cube, which had just passed through the atmosphere and entered space and was accelerating. The fighter pilot was a little speechless looking at the huge monster in front of him. He had always heard that the Rubik's Cube was very big, but he didn't expect it to be so big. The fighter was like an ant in front of the Rubik's Cube.

"The Rubik's Cube! Stop flying immediately and open the hatch!"

The Rubik's Cube continued to accelerate and had no reaction.

"Number Nine, go to the cockpit immediately and use the camera to see who is controlling the Rubik's Cube."

"Yes!"

A fighter quickly passed by the huge hull of the Rubik's Cube and headed straight for the cockpit.

After a while, the fighter arrived at the cockpit of the Rubik's Cube...

"Captain... Captain! There's no one in the cockpit!"

"What? No one? How is that possible? How can it fly without a pilot?"

Soon the captain of the fighter switched to the camera of the No. 9 fighter. Seeing that the displays in the empty cockpit were still working normally, and the buttons and handles were working autonomously, he shuddered all over. This was too weird... The video of the No. 9 camera was transmitted to the Dragon Star headquarters at the same time. Several scientific research experts and military supervisors on night duty stared at the empty cockpit in a daze. The signal was normal and the camera was not interfered with, but there was no one in the cockpit that must be controlled by someone...
