The feet left the ground, and the virus shut down.
A whisper seed to sound in his ears, and Li Cheng acted decisively, popping out the magnetic pulley from his left hand and quickly attaching it to the tal wall.
The floating Dir hurriedly grabbed his ankle, while Su Nisheng and Hydra grabbed Dir, and the four were linked together like a string of candied fruit.
"WTF?!"
Hydra was shocked into a squeal, "Why is there zero gravity? Did the planet crack?!"
"Impossible, if it was an earthquake, the Xinxiang Base would have collapsed by now."
Li Cheng surveyed the oxygen room; the room’s builders seed to have anticipated zero gravity in their initial design; all equipnt was securely fixed in place,
even those objects that appeared to be unsecured, like drawers, cabinet doors, coffee cups, etc., all had magnetic or damping features, and did not float around due to the zero gravity.
"Gravity control."
Dir’s voice carried a hint of terror, quickly saying, "When I went with Laughing God to the managent room to investigate, I saw related materials.
The New Hope spaceship’s sub-light-speed engine is essentially a vector control device that can twist space and manipulate gravity vectors."
"Are you saying the New Hope spaceship is still stationed in the low Earth orbit of HD996A Planet, and Laughing God has entered the Central Control Hall, intending to use the vector control engine to erase the entire base in one go?"
Li Cheng quickly grasped the idea but promptly denied this speculation, "No, the ergency assembly button of the rocket cargo bay is linked to the Central Control Hall, and without waking the sentry robot, the rocket cargo cannot be launched.
Besides, the launching of the rocket cargo is such a commotion that the entire Xinxiang Base can hear it.
Two possibilities: one, the New Hope spaceship in the low Earth orbit is undergoing a Windows system update and accidentally crashed, mistakenly modifying the gravity vector of Xinxiang Base.
Two, sowhere in the Xinxiang Base, a vector control device is buried."
Su Nisheng remained calm and unflustered due to the lack of gravity. She looked around at the surroundings, saying steadily, "All non-fixed items are designed with adsorption features, indicating that Xinxiang Base had prior prevention asures.
Thus, the second possibility is more likely.
There is a miniature vector control device sowhere in Xinxiang Base — maybe to complent the atmospheric modification device, or to prevent geological disasters on HD996A Planet."
"Laughing God found and is using the vector control engine."
Hydra also realized, that guy’s ntal state is extrely unstable, and the ard hand could violently break doors, reaching areas where regular maintenance personnel cannot go.
If he were to control Xinxiang Base’s gravity... he wouldn’t need to do much, just increase the gravity by ten tis for areas other than his own.
"Just asking, among us, is there anyone who is an heir to the lineage of Hulk/Werewolf/Spiderman/Dragon/King Corpse/Demon/Mythical Beast from the Shanhai Jing/ZNF136 genetic mutation causing schizophrenia/magnetic field strong individuals?"
Li Cheng supported the tal wall with one hand, speaking briskly. Seeing the other three floating individuals look up, he continued, "Since there’s no Transcendent, nobody can withstand ten tis gravity.
We need to locate Laughing God or Edith quickly."
"Why find Edith?" Hydra instinctively asked, "And did you mix up schizophrenia in your list of transcendent lineages?"
"Pifu’s point is that schizophrenia ≈ Stand User, Stand Users are drawn to each other, only Stand Users can see the spirits behind each other, which is quite like schizophrenia."
Su Nisheng spoke calmly, "As for finding Edith, she has an ard hand that can break..."
The mont she said "door," an unexpected situation abruptly occurred.
In the corner, a gas tank’s hose disconnected, and the trendous air pressure caused the hose to thrash wildly like a snake being trampled.
And the visible turbulent airflow spraying out from the gas tank hit Hydra hard, sending him crashing into the corridor with a thud.
Under zero gravity, Hydra’s heavy spacesuit rolled around like a bowling ball, spinning around its axis uncontrollably,
Su Nisheng simply couldn’t catch him and had to watch as he floated through the entire passageway, from the middle level to the upper ceiling.
Li Cheng carefully bent down, first tightly closing the gas tank’s valve, then looked up, calling out, "Hey, hey? Hydra, are you okay?"
"...I’m still... fine."
After about ten seconds, Hydra breathed in cold air and said, "It’s just that my right hand and left leg are numb, unable to move, seems like a broken bone."
Li Cheng and Su Nisheng exchanged glances; Hydra wasn’t equipped with an ard hand, and forcing him with reduced mobility would only lead to secondary injury.
No ti to hesitate, the smartwatch’s 3D map shows the lower levels of the reactor, engine room, and warehouse were all lit up with red exclamation marks.
After a brief and rapid discussion, everyone decided that Hydra should go on his own to the dical room located on the upper level — the scanner in the room was unusable,
but perhaps the automated chanical arms in the dical pod could possibly, maybe, approximately, set the bone through the spacesuit?
If the dical pod couldn’t be used or Hydra felt he was in danger, he should go to the security room with broadcasting capability and keep talking to deter potential attacks by the space alien species.
"Rest assured, Hydra will be fine."
Li Cheng saw that Dir and Su Nisheng had fallen silent, he comforted them, "Good people are blessed with good fortune. I have a friend who, despite being fired from his company, having his wife betray him and run off with his money, being scamd out of his parents’ pension, and diagnosed with cancer during a hospital check-up,
received a ssage from a longti gaming buddy who turns out to be the only daughter of a billionaire multinational’s sect leader, showing him favor and offering to fund his treatnt at the world’s most advanced Mayo Clinic,
with a layover in Myanmar North."
???
Dude, until the words ’layover in Myanmar North’ ca out, I thought your friend was hallucinating from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Dir took a deep breath, grabbed the protruding handrail on the tal wall with his hand, shouting "Anyone there?"
All the way down, reaching the lower levels of the Xinxiang Base.
"Is it you?"
Just as he approached the reactor, the clanging sound of repairs echoed, and Zhongli Mieing was forcefully straddling the console, using all his strength to manipulate the lever, changing the reactor’s fuel.
(The way of refueling the nuclear fission reactor is replacing fuel rods in a cooling pool. However, this is a fusion reactor, without a pool or fuel rods, replaced by a spherical vacuum chamber, injecting tritium gas into the twisted magnetic confinent fusion device.)
"Is it just you here?" Dir asked without hesitation, pushing against the wall to float across, grabbing the lever to help, "Where are Edith and Out of Control?"
"The two of them are respectively repairing in the engine room and warehouse."
Zhongli Mieing said, "I heard your broadcast, so Laughing God is a space alien species?"
"Maybe yes, maybe no."
Li Cheng was noncommittal; he suspected that a real space alien species wouldn’t expose itself so blatantly and, at the very least, shouldn’t have left a living person, Dir, to reach the broadcast room.
"Hello, hello, can you hear ?"
Just speaking of broadcasting, the engine room’s broadcast suddenly emitted Hydra’s weak voice, "This is Hydra, I just went to the dical room; the dical pod indeed can’t be used, so I ca to the security room to use the broadcast..."
While speaking, the background sound on the broadcast suddenly included the sound of an explosion-proof door rotating open,
"Why is it you? Ugh!"
Hydra’s voice was interrupted by a loud noise in the broadcast,
Almost at the sa ti, the entire Xinxiang Base shook, and gravity returned to normal,
Su Nisheng sharply raised her left arm, only to see that Hydra and Edith’s heart rates had already reached zero.
