I have a shelter in the last days

Chapter 251 Space City
As the distance keeps getting closer, the image of the space city becomes clearer.Now I can vaguely see the huge mechanical structures around the hole in its wall.It is obvious that Ding Hao's judgment is very accurate, there is no intelligent life left here.These mechanical structures have been exposed in space for an unknown number of years, and no one has come to repair them. The detection module of the Iron Spike neither scanned suspicious information carriers around this space city, nor found any energy radiation from it. It floats quietly on this Lagrangian point like a stone.

"Captain, the Bomberman is right, this thing doesn't look like it's inhabited." Su Xiaoxiao broke the silence after looking at it for a long time.

"This thing..." Zhuo Fan opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to react, "It looks like it has been abandoned for many, many years..."

This dilapidated scene made Guan Xiaoyue feel a little fear, she shivered in her seat and asked, "What about the people above?"

No one answered her question. As a country bumpkin civilization with little knowledge who flew out of the solar system for the first time, human beings on earth cannot imagine how many stories of destruction and rebirth are hidden in the vast universe.Although it has been almost confirmed that there are no signs of alien civilization activities in this star system, the space city built by this magnificent and dilapidated alien civilization seems to be telling mankind, I have stories, many, many stories .

This star system undoubtedly has abundant resources. Its two terrestrial planets and many satellites contain a large amount of minerals, and its three Jupiter-like planets and an ice giant contain a huge amount of fusion fuel. It can be said that The resources of this star system are not even less than that of the original solar system. Even a civilization like human beings who can barely get out of their own star system can live and multiply here with ample food and clothing.However, the previous civilization of this galaxy did not continue here, leaving only the relics of its own civilization, which is really a puzzling result.

……

When the Iron Spike arrived at the alien space city, Zhuo Fan and others had already put on spacesuits.After hundreds of years of scientific and technological development, human spacesuits are no longer the cumbersome styles of the past. Although they are still heavy, due to the mechanical bones inside, these spacesuits are enough to ensure that human life is not lost in various extreme environments. Provide sufficient flexibility to act while under threat.

"Captain, I still think it's better for me to stay on the Iron Spike with the little ones to support you." Evans said pitifully while sitting in the landing pod.

"Master, can you stop being so ink-stained, it's useless to blind your sinews." Zhuo Fan looked at this fragile big man with contempt, "Look at the cooks who are lying on the safety seats honestly, why are you so stupid? You talk so much nonsense!"

"The cook was tied to the seat by you, okay!! You also turned off his chat channel! Don't think I didn't see it!"

"Woo, woo, woo..." Gao Qiu was struggling on the safety seat of the landing compartment.

"Okay, okay, let's go after sitting down." Zhuo Fan waved his hand annoyedly, and pressed the escape button with a slap.

"Master, I still haven't fastened a seat belt..." As the air from the sealed gate was released, the landing pod ignited and left the Iron Spike and flew towards the alien space city.

……

"Miss, do you think there should be no danger for the captain and the others?" Guan Xiaoyue clenched her fists with both hands and leaned on her chest, staring at the far away landing pod and said worriedly.

"What danger can it be? It's just a ruin that has been abandoned for tens of thousands of years. Oh, let's not talk about it. I'm going to take a beauty sleep. Xiaoyue, look at them first, and wake me up in an hour." Su Xiaoxiao yawned indifferently, adjusted the seat back from 1 degrees to 90 degrees and lay down.

……

"Beep, the original docking area is on the orbit of a large amount of space junk; beep, re-evaluate the docking route... beep, the berthing route has been planned successfully, and the flight route is being adjusted..." The automatic driving prompt sounded from the landing pod.

"The captain is really serious, why don't you assign us a professional spaceship pilot, is the autopilot system reliable?" Gao Qiu was finally untied and complained in the teammate channel.

"I guess it's because no pilot has offended the captain?" Zhuo Fan replied, staring at the space city that was getting closer and closer outside the porthole.

"You mean that the entire fleet has nearly 20 people, and we are the only ones who offended the captain?" Evans still failed to fasten his last seat belt.Seeing that the landing pod was about to be unfastened again as soon as it docked, he simply gave up and let the safety belt dangle in front of him like a kelp.

"Why don't we fool a spaceship pilot over after we go back?" Zhuo Fan also felt that relying on the spaceship's autopilot system was not very reliable.In fact, flying the autopilot system in outer space is not a big problem, but when landing on other planets, if there is no human driver as a backup, the autopilot system does have certain problems such as friction with the atmosphere that will cause some sensors to fail. Hidden danger.

"There won't be any fools who will risk their lives to come to our brigade?"

"Eh...or we can forge a love letter from the captain or something, and let the pilot die by himself..." Zhuo Fan touched his chin through the mask, and then let go of his hand when he found that he couldn't touch it down.

"Hey, enter the predetermined position, and start to enter the docking process..." The prompt sound of the automatic driving system of the landing cabin interrupted the conversation of several people.

Accompanied by a slight shaking, the landing pod docked in a depression that looked like a dock in the main body of the space city. The mechanical arms on both sides of the landing pod stretched out and grabbed a section of metal frame extending from the outer wall.The reason why they did not choose to land on the ring around the space city is because everyone agreed that no matter how you look at it, the main structure of the space city must be the irregular polyhedron in the middle rather than the two outer rings.

From the orbit of the entire galaxy, this alien space city floats on the Lagrangian point L5 of the second planet, which is the third vertex of an equilateral triangle with the line connecting the planet and its parent star as the base. above, and behind the planet's orbit around the star.This means that it can float in this orbit for a long time almost only by the gravitational effect between the stars.

The three of Zhuo Fan came to the outer wall of the space city along the robotic arm.Evans scanned the wall with a metal detector on his arm, and the scan results showed that the wall of the space city is mainly composed of alloys of titanium iron and some other metals, which preliminarily explained the disappearing alien civilization in terms of materials. Not beyond human comprehension.
