However, before Yuan Yu went to Dongfang Kongyu to check the cargo hold, he felt a slight tremor in the hull, and then all the lights in the dining room went out, and the surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

Someone screamed, and there was chaos in the restaurant, whether it was passengers or flight attendants.Yuan Yu hastily clicked on the holographic projection on the wristband, but saw that the control panel was blank, which seemed to be caused by electromagnetic interference.Pressing her ear to the bulkhead, she heard that the cruise ship's fusion-powered recoil engines were no longer running, either.

Relying on the faint light from the wristband, Mint found Yuan Yu, and asked in panic, "What's going on?! Something went wrong with the spaceship?!"

Yuan Yu held him back, and calmly comforted him, "I'm afraid I've encountered a ghost ship."

"What is a ghost ship?!" Dongfang Kongyu and Jin Mengyan also rushed over, and they seemed to be in a panic.

"No one knows what a ghost ship is." Yuan Yu looked out of the porthole, and then went to the other side of the porthole to look out, but he couldn't see anything similar to the rumored ghost ship, "No... it's still there Below the cruise ship? The ghost ship is a legend among interstellar travelers..."

"How is it possible?!" Dongfang Kongyu grabbed her, "Don't you believe the legend? Aren't you a curvature drive scientist? Go and help them find out what's wrong with this ship!"

Yuan Yu took a deep breath and said calmly: "If it wasn't for the ghost ship, everything would be easy. If it was caused by the ghost ship, then the control system of the ship would probably be paralyzed before the ghost ship left. We've got to get rid of the ghost ship."

"Who believes in ghosts?!" Dongfang Kongqu couldn't help retorting, "I'm a materialist!"

"Listen!" Yuan Yu said seriously, "If many people have seen it, it can only mean that it exists with a great probability—no matter in what form, entity or just an illusion. Illusion is also a kind of Existence form, can you understand this? Whether it is a substance or an illusion, we have to try to get rid of it!"

"Just now the ghost ship touched the 'Light of the Moon Night', and the hull trembled for a while. And since the porthole of the restaurant can't be seen, it may be below..." Yuan Yu suddenly widened his eyes in surprise—it was the cargo hold!Is it really because of smuggling?Can ghost ships really sense crime? !

At this time, the emergency lighting of "Moonlight" finally turned on, and the flight attendant said to the passengers through a handheld loudspeaker that is not connected to the spacecraft control system: "Everyone, the spacecraft has encountered some accidents, which has caused the control system to temporarily fail to start. Please Go back to the cockpit and unlock the safety lock on the seat, our technicians are making emergency repairs to the spacecraft."

Many panicked passengers hurried downstairs to the cockpit.Yuan Yu poked Dongfang Kongqu once, and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to the cargo hold."

Dongfang Kongyu didn't seem to understand it, but he still pretended to be angry and asked: "You mean the control system is broken? Then what about my goods?! They are all antiques from hundreds of years ago! You must give I keep the humidifier running!"

"I'm sorry, sir." A fairly calm female flight attendant of the B family hurriedly came over and bowed, "The control system of the entire spaceship is currently unavailable, I hope you can understand. And for your safety, please go back to Sit in the cockpit."

"Do you fucking know how much those antiques are worth?!" Dongfang Kongyu yelled at the flight attendant directly, "I paid so much for the ship fee and cargo hold management fee, just to let you take my goods Hanging there?!—No, I'm going to the cargo hold myself!"

"Sir!" The flight attendant was quite sensible, "Now the spaceship is in an emergency state, you'd better stay in the cockpit to ensure your safety!"

"Okay, then tell me, is it really safe to stay in the cockpit?" Yuan Yu interjected at this time, "What measures do you have to protect the cockpit from unknown attacks? Or the control system of the cockpit can still be used ?”

The flight attendant was speechless. In fact, everyone knew that if something happened to the curvature spacecraft, it would be useless to stay in the cockpit.Under normal circumstances, the curvature spacecraft will equip everyone on board with an escape pod, and in the event of an accident, all people in the ship will be ejected from the range of the curvature engine, and then wait for rescue.However, the captain of "Moonlight" did not dare to eject the crew and passengers, because in this unmonitored star field, even if an out-of-control spacecraft was ejected, it would be impossible to be discovered by the fleet's route administrator, and Died of thirst and starvation in the escape pod.

"I'm going to the cargo compartment!" Dongfang Kongqu grabbed the flight attendant by the collar and led her down the spiral staircase.Yuan Yu and Mint followed behind.And Jin Mengyan saw that the others were sitting timidly in their seats and did not help the situation at all, so he gritted his teeth and followed Yuan Yu and the others.

"What are you doing here?" Mint whispered to him, "Go back quickly, there may be danger here!"

"Everywhere on this ship is dangerous." Jin Mengyan said, "I think it's more reliable to follow you."

Dongfang Kongyu dragged the flight attendant down to the cargo hold area, asked her to open the steel safety door of the cargo hold area with her iris brush, and then let her go, letting her wait outside.After Yuan Yu, Mint, and Jin Mengyan all entered the cargo hold area, Dongfang Kongqu closed the safety door, and pulled out the aluminum bullet electromagnetic gun that is standard for active members of the fleet from the cuff of his left hand.

This kind of solid bullet gun is much more lethal than the high-power laser gun that is standard for reserve members.The bullet of the electromagnetic gun is a thin metal shell wrapped with an aluminum block. This aluminum bullet is accelerated by the Ampere force formed by the change of the magnetic field of the gun barrel and the current is formed. During the firing process, the aluminum block wrapped in the thin shell It is also melted due to the heat generated by the eddy current effect of the magnetic field, so that when the aluminum bullet is just fired out of the barrel, it is a group of hot aluminum liquid wrapped in a thin shell and flying at high speed.After shooting into the target, the thin shell of the aluminum bullet shatters, and the molten aluminum is exposed and cooled into countless sharp aluminum flakes. These aluminum flakes explode in the target, and the cavity effect of the ordinary bullet | of the same speed can be obtained. Great lethality.

However, the disadvantage of the aluminum bullet electromagnetic gun is that if the aluminum bullet flies in the air for too long, so that the aluminum liquid cools in it, it is basically no different from ordinary bullets.Even the irregular rotation of the aluminum liquid in the air will cause the ballistic deviation, and the shooting accuracy will be affected.

Yuan Yu also pulled out the laser gun with liquid cooling device from his waist, but just held it in his hand, and then turned on the emergency flashlight on his wristband.Mint followed closely behind her, while Jin Mengyan followed beside Mint.

The four of them walked into the cargo hold area cautiously.
