Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 967 - 386: Breaking Curtain Device!_5
"Why are they already in the hibernation pod? Are there no other crew members?" KIKI asked in confusion when seeing this scene.
Lin Xian felt an inexplicable strange premonition at this moment, so he quickly passed through the hibernation pod area and arrived at a central control room. After confirming that no one was around, he immediately used the Black Star Forge to release Grace.
"Grace, help me connect to the starship. I need to check the whole ship’s status."
A "Far Star Level" starship isn’t something KIKI can simply hack into; sensing the entire ship’s situation requires a Quantum Brain like Grace.
Grace, who hadn’t seen the light of day for a long time, seemed to have undergone extensive learning simulations. She quickly detected the emotion in Lin Xian’s voice and acted immediately:
[Alright, Captain, I will immediately connect to this starship’s central network.]
Meanwhile, KIKI had already used telekinesis to open the server cabin door of a central control system. Then several people entered together. Grace extended a cable from her wrist to connect to the starship’s internal system. Seconds later, the entire starship’s lights flickered slightly. Grace then said to Lin Xian,
[Grace has accessed the Civilization Pioneer’s central network. Do you need me to perform any actions?]
"Grace, I need to find a Breaking Curtain Device, which is used to break the Heavenly Veil. Also, retrieve all the logs for me, personnel, launch information, everything."
[The Civilization Pioneer has been assigned a special formation launch mission, and the mission time will commence in 16 hours, 46 minutes, and 31 seconds, with launch sequence 2.]
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian’s expression changed, and KIKI and Shi Zhi were also extremely surprised.
"16 hours, tomorrow at 10 in the morning?!!" Lin Xian checked the time with disbelief.
This was far from what he expected. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
[Yes, the Civilization Pioneer’s launch preparations are complete. The fusion core is operational, and the human embryo bank has preserved 500,000 frozen embryos (covering 97% of global genetic diversity). Helium-3 fuel reserves stand at 1,200 tons, with an estimated endurance of 1,500 years. The ship’s weapons are online. The civilization archive includes both photon disk and mechanical optical film backups, containing a complete collection of human literature/art, from Stone Age to gravitational wave applied science atlas, and the Blue Star biological genetic atlas (6.5 million species). Meanwhile, four sets of hibernation pods have 4,520 crew members beginning to sleep, and 2,125 registered crew members reside in the life cabin. Regarding the Breaking Curtain Device, in the Space Science Laboratory, I found a Dark Erosion Cell Breaking Activation Monitoring Device, including Super Pure Germanium Detector, cryo-electron microscope high-speed scanning port, biological energy capture trap, and radiation spectrum analyzer. This device is likely used to monitor data changes when Dark Erosion Cells are used for dark invasion energy transformation.]
Lin Xian paused, and immediately said, "That should be it."
He then used the Black Star Forge to store Grace again and let KIKI temporarily take over the starship’s monitoring system. He then ran towards the Space Science Laboratory with KIKI and others.
"So there are already over 5,000 people on this starship, where did they go?"
"I don’t know, maybe they’re preparing some kind of launch ceremony." Lin Xian didn’t have time to think much; it was a relief no one noticed them along the way.
When they moved from the lower central control room to the upper level, they found the decks bustling with crew members in standard uniforms walking through work areas and corridors.
Some people looked at them in surprise, but since the three were in garrison power armor, marching orderly, the crew didn’t notice anything strange, possibly believing it to be a routine garrison check.
Lin Xian and the others nervously moved through the crowd of crew to the Space Science Laboratory. The metal door here was locked, but since Grace had pre-entered the access commands and codes for Lin Xian, they got in effortlessly.
Upon entering, Lin Xian found this was not an ordinary lab. A large white scientific device resembling a large sphere stood in the center, connected by numerous cables and sensors.
As they got closer, Shi Zhi immediately said,
"There’s a strong dark aura inside!"
"This is it!" KIKI approached, looking through a small observation window, saw that inside the device was a fist-sized Dark Erosion Cell sealed in a special cultivation device.
Lin Xian walked over, took one look, and his pupils shrank:
"No, this, there’s no fungal device?"
"Did you scan it?" KIKI frowned.
Lin Xian nodded; he had used mechanical superpower to scan immediately upon entering. The device contained the scientific instruments Grace mentioned, but no Fungal Brain Machine Device.
"That’s strange. Isn’t it a Breaking Curtain Device? Would just placing a Dark Erosion Cell here break the Heavenly Veil?" KIKI exclaimed in surprise.
"It’s not that simple; the Deep Red World must have activated the Dark Erosion Cells with fungal elements, or the anomalies in the three major Star Abysses couldn’t be explained." Lin Xian said.
KIKI analyzed: "Could there be another device that needs to connect and activate this when breaking the Heavenly Veil?"
"That’s possible."
KIKI’s expression turned odd, "Lin Xian, do you really intend to... connect this... this thing?"
Lin Xian sighed helplessly, "Even if I wanted to, I don’t have fungal elements now. I couldn’t have imagined the Breaking Curtain Device would have a completely unconnected Dark Erosion Cell; it’s too strange..."
