Chapter 225 Crisis is coming

Tony thought about it again and again, he gave up driving the mecha and chose the exoskeleton light armor with communication functions.

There are several reasons to give up the mecha. First, Tony does not have a fighting mecha, and the engineering mecha is not equipped with melee weapons. In addition, Tony and others are not good at driving mechas, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. It is better to wear light armor for close combat. Secondly, if the engine compartment is in danger, driving a bulky engineering mecha is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing; in addition, the peripheral structure of the cockpit is kept intact, and the interior cannot be in a vacuum state.

However, the biggest threat to the human body entering the engine compartment is low temperature. Although the universe has not reached absolute low temperature, its temperature is terrifying, reaching minus 270.15 degrees Celsius, and the gap between minus 273.15 degrees Celsius is almost negligible. Of course, from the rigorous scientific nature, this almost negligible temperature proves that the universe also has temperature.

On the surface of the planet, humans are considering how to reduce the temperature and maintain the quality of objects. In fact, in the vast universe, keeping the objects in temperature is a more important research topic. Any equipment or food must undergo the test of extreme cold before it can be put into practical applications.

Although Tony is not a mecha fighter, he has rich experience in aerospace. He understands that although the cold is terrible, it is not as fatal as a vacuum.

After arriving at the No. 3 secondary engine, Tony attached a special instrument to the steel gate of the engine compartment and connected it to the main control optical brain, and obtained the indoor temperature data of the engine compartment through the main control optical brain.

Seventeen degrees below zero!

This is the data feedback from the main control optical brain. This data proves the fact that the No. 3 secondary engine is in a dormant state, because, theoretically speaking, if the engine is in a completely shutdown state, then its temperature cannot be maintained at minus 17 degrees. Only the engine in the dormant state will emit a certain temperature, and minus 17 degrees is exactly the temperature that may be maintained in a dormant state.

This news excited everyone. The temperature of minus 17 degrees Celsius will not cause harm to the human body in a short period of time.

Due to unknown reasons, the main control optical brain and the engine compartment did not have a connection, so the hatch door could not be controlled to open. Tony used the special tool he brought to pry open the hatch door, opened the hatch door a gap of about one meter wide, and then used the tool to block the master to avoid accidental closing. It was so dark!

Tony arranged two people to wait at the steel gate to meet him and sneaked into the engine compartment with three other guards. At this time, Prince Morton was short of staff, so Captain Tony had to go on the battle himself.

The No. 3 secondary engine is not a warp-level main engine, but an ordinary impulse engine. Its main function is to change the navigation direction and perform auxiliary acceleration in the early stage of space jumping. It is not large in individual form. The engine compartment is less than 200 square meters, and the height is only about fifteen meters. The engine occupies less than one-third of the entire space.

Tony remembered the layout of the engine compartment when he was in the main control room. After entering the cabin door, a wide circular bridge surrounded the core position of the impulse engine.

The pressure in the engine compartment has stabilized, but a biting cold makes people unable to help but fight a cold war.

"Everyone be careful... Huh, what is it?" In the darkness, Tony walked out first and took a few steps, and suddenly felt something kicking under his feet.

Because it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. The lights shot out from the helmets on people's heads could not see clearly in the darkness, Tony squatted down.

"Alien...retreat!"

Tony, who squatted down, shone the light on his head on the ground. He just now kicked a pile of unknown black substances. The black substance turned dark and cold under the light. Tony suddenly felt a chill in his back. He was too familiar with this luster. He shouted loudly and his body retreated rapidly. At the same time, the other three guards also retreated to the steel gate as soon as possible.

With a "bang", as soon as Tony's body retreated, the two guards outside worked together to remove the tool that stuck the door, and the thick steel gate closed heavily.

"Captain, is it really an alien?" A guard looked shocked. The battle with the aliens all the way had made him look like a frightened bird.

"Yes, absolutely!" Tony said with a positive look.

"Why didn't you chase us?" another soldier asked without having time to see clearly.

"I don't know." Tony shook his head with a serious look on his face.

"Captain Tony, how is the situation?" The communication system inside the headset sounded Dr. Wayne's voice. Obviously, the holographic image monitoring system in the main control room was paying close attention to them.

"There are aliens inside." Tony said.

"Are you sure?"

"It's not wrong, and it's a living alien, with a shiny black horny." Tony is very sure that he has already had rich experience in identifying his skills during this period of fighting with aliens.

"Why didn't you chase you?" Dr. Wayne's voice was full of doubt.

"I don't know, Doctor."

"Well, Captain Tony, there are two options now. First, retreat immediately. Let's go back to the Locke 1 barge and leave here; second, you risk entering and see what's going on, but it's important to tell you that risking entry is quite risky for you six, because if you are sure that the alien will spread the attack, we will retreat to Locke 1 at the first time, and you may not have enough time to get on the ship."

Captain Tony glanced at the other five people and was silent.

"Doctor, let's enter." Captain Tony nodded to the other five, and the other five nodded to Captain Tony at the same time and made a decision.

"Okay! Your courage is worthy of reward. You are the honor of the Morton Empire... According to previous information, the alien may also be dormant. Try to be careful not to disturb the alien. If there is any abnormal movement, be sure to be safe as the top priority and retreat as soon as possible. Even if we evacuate to Locke 1, we will respond at any time. Remember to turn on the holographic lens of the light armor helmet..."

"Oh, by the way, after entering the cabin door, turn right five meters, there is a manual switch that can turn on the lights in the engine compartment. Good luck, Captain Tony Guard!"

After finishing the communication with Dr. Wayne, the six people were still divided into two groups, two guarding the cabin door and four people entered.

After carefully prying open the hatch door with a special tool, he briefly observed the door. Seeing that there was no abnormal movement, Tony followed Dr. Wayne's instructions and entered first, turned right along the metal wall to touch the manual switch, and turned on the light.

The lights were on one after another. At that moment, people's eyesight was affected and they felt like they could not see anything in the white space. However, Tony and the others were all well-trained soldiers and quickly adapted.

"ah……"

The four people who had recovered their vision made a depressing and shocking sound almost at the same time. Looking around, the entire engine compartment was covered with black aliens. The aliens seemed to be in a horny state, and they showed various postures and were closely attached to the bulkheads and engines. Especially the engine, they were densely covered with thick layers, layer by layer, shocking. The light shone on the alien's bright and dark body, reflecting a thrilling cold light, which made people shudder.

"It turns out that it's dormant. Tony, check if every alien is in a keratinized state."

"Okay, Doctor."

Tony squatted down and moved carefully in the mountains of aliens. He didn't dare to hit the aliens with weapons, but felt it with his hands, because the aliens in soft state and the aliens in keratinized state are very different, and even wearing gloves, it is easy to distinguish.

"It's keratinization, Doctor..."

"Captain!" Before Tony could finish his words, suddenly, the guard behind him made a terrified voice.

"Screaming something...ah..."

Tony turned around and gasped. The aliens near the hatch door were slowly squirming. Tony felt his hands and feet were cold. He had passed by that place just now, and he was definitely sure that in the first few seconds, the squirming aliens were still in a keratinized state.

"Run, Tony!" Dr. Wayne's voice sounded from the headset.

"retreat!"

Tony, who reacted, suddenly shouted loudly, and did not care about stepping onto the alien on the ground, and ran towards the cabin door.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

A dense sound of impact sounded, and black shadows like black lightning shot out of the cabin door... Looking at the aliens surging like tides on the holographic screen chasing Tony and the group of people, the entire main control hall was extremely quiet, and Prince Morton was even more pale.

"Your Highness, let's go. The doors leading to Rock 1 have been opened. We have enough time to board the ship." Dr. Wayne sighed.

"Let's go." A trace of painful eyes flashed across Prince Morton's face, and he seemed to stand up with difficulty. A group of big men and several guards also looked dim, and the atmosphere seemed particularly heavy. People knew that Tony and the others had no chance of survival.

"I inform Liu Fei that he is still in the maintenance cabin, Doctor." Li Wenyan said anxiously.

"Don't worry, he has a mecha. I have issued a retreat order through the spacecraft and have optimized a holographic map to Locke 1. If nothing unexpected happens, he will arrive at Locke 1 before us to pick up the boat."

"Oh...wait, look!" Li Wenyan rushed to the main console, staring at the holographic screen with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"It's Liu Fei, it's Liu Fei's mecha!" Prince Morton actually cheered, and it was obvious that the Dark Moon had appeared in the passage outside the No. 3 secondary engine, at a very fast speed. The body with metallic luster was floating in the passage like a wisp of smoke, which was horrifying.

Not only Prince Morton, but also a group of guards and the big men cheered.

"Let's go, Your Highness." Dr. Wayne urged without any surprise expression on his face.

"Liu Fei can save them!" Prince Morton said with an excited look on his face.

"Your Highness, he is just a man, a mecha. The aliens that had just swarmed out have exceeded a hundred. It is impossible for him to kill so many aliens. When he goes, the awakened aliens are still increasing."

"Ah... Let's go." Prince Morton, who was poured with a basin of cold water, was suddenly awake and said with a frustration.

"Let's go. Miss Li!"

"No!" Li Wenyan looked determined, and then a gust of wind rushed to Baiya: "Give me the button!"

"Ah..." Baiya was startled.

"Give me the button, I know you have it!" Li Wenyan suddenly pulled Baiya's chest as if she was crazy, shouting hysterically, and her eyes almost spewed out flames.

"I'll give you to you..." Baiya quickly took out a space button from his pocket. These buttons were all forced from Locke No. 1 in order to maintain his strength advantage with Prince Morton.

In the stunned everyone, Li Wenyan summoned a clumsy engineering mecha, entered the cockpit, and ran out. Perhaps he was not very familiar with the engineering mecha, and he staggered several times in the main control hall, almost rolling and crawling out. After walking far, he heard a faint sound of impact.

"Your Highness, it's too late!" Dr. Wayne was not moved by Li Wenyan's desperate rushing out. He still looked calm. For him, no one's sacrifice is important. The most important thing is to ensure the safety of Prince Morton. As long as Prince Morton does not die, the Morton Galaxy will have a future.

"Let's wait..." Prince Morton's face showed a hint of hesitation.

"Your Highness!" Dr. Wayne became anxious when he saw Prince Morton's thoughts were shaken.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

The man carrying an iron rod suddenly ran wildly in the direction where Li Wenyan disappeared...
