Chapter 464 Supernova
Raymond Anthony woke up a little later than Luo Yan. When he opened his eyes, the first thing he said was to ask himself whether he was in heaven or hell. This question sounded ridiculous, but Su Yichen didn't feel any funny in his ears. Perhaps Raymond Anthony himself knew that he had done good things in his life, but he also did more bad things. But no matter what, going to heaven after death is the only expectation in his heart for a person like him.
"It's not heaven, nor hell, because we're all alive."
Su Yichen replied, Raymond Anthony was stunned and then slowly woke up. When he sat up and looked around and confirmed that everything was nothing like before, the old guy couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing? Are you glad that I didn't go to hell?" Su Yichen sarcastically said, although Raymond Anthony is already a member of the Pioneer spacecraft, he doesn't have much affection for this old guy Su Yichen. In his opinion, it is not an exaggeration to go to hell just because of being an agent for the Gaia civilization back then.
Facing Su Yichen's replies, Raymond Anthony did not answer, but continued to laugh. But while laughing, a strange look appeared in his eyes, including happiness, regret, confusion and self-deprecation...
The laughter made Su Yichen frown slightly. He was about to stop Raymond Anthony's laughter, but before he could do so, Luo Yan gently pulled him.
"Let him go/" Luo Yan shook her head slowly at him, and gently held Su Yichen's hand. After experiencing such a dangerous moment, everyone felt that they were doomed, but now they are safe. This situation has a strong mental impact on people.
Su Yichen and his wife are better. They are two people after all, and they both have experienced life and death. Whether it was the unexpected separation in the northwest, the later forced Luo Yan to hibernate, or when they crossed the wormhole and arrived at the Andromeda system...
After so many dangers, the two of them kept coming over and supporting each other until today. But Raymond Anthony is different from them. It is already very good to be able to adjust their mentality by laughing like this under such circumstances.
As a woman, Luo Yan can see this more clearly than Su Yichen, so she will stop Su Yichen from doing that. Moreover, although they are free from danger now, it does not mean that the danger is far away from them. What happened before has not been understood until now, and where they are now must be determined immediately.
The power system of the Pioneer spacecraft has been restored, but the power recovery of the overall spacecraft is only part of it. The threat posed by the dark matter bomb has brought great damage to the Pioneer spacecraft. The main power engine has been damaged, and now it is only the backup power engine that is activated.
In addition to the problem of going out, the spacecraft's hull was also damaged. Fortunately, the damage was not serious and did not affect the safety of the entire spacecraft. However, there was a key issue that made Su Yichen and the others very anxious, because when they started the spacecraft's intelligent brain system, the startup failed, and the most core intelligent brain system of the Pioneer spacecraft could not be awakened. This is a fatal matter.
"How is it?" Su Yichen asked Luo Yan anxiously.
After waking up, Luo Yan rested for a while and found problems with the smart brain system, but when she contacted her to restart the smart brain three times, she failed. This was her fourth time trying to restart, but it was still the same. Looking at the data displayed on the screen, Luo Yan shook her head in frustration.
"What do you think is the problem?"
"I don't know, I can't judge." Luo Yan couldn't understand her husband's inquiry. It clearly showed that the hardware structure of the intelligent brain system was normal. There was no problem with the software. The self-closing of the intelligent brain system before was just because of the self-protection program of the original design system. As an intelligent brain expert and fuzzy mathematics expert of the earth civilization, he created artificial intelligence like Su Li, and Luo Yan can be said to be the most powerful scholar in this field. But now, even she can't tell where the problem lies.
Luo Yan began to prepare for the fifth restart. Before the restart, she once again conducted detailed testing of the software and hardware. In fact, this work is the same as restarting the intelligent brain. She has done it four times before, and this is the fifth time. But the results of each detection tell her that everything is normal, but under normal circumstances, the intelligent brain system still cannot restart successfully.
This situation made Luo Yan very puzzled, and she had never encountered it before. If they were in the solar system now, with equipment assistance from the earth or other bases, Luo Yan could have taken simpler methods to solve the problem. For example, directly replace the entire intelligent brain system, first ensure the normality of the Pioneer spacecraft, and then find a way to slowly find out the cause of the problem. But this method is simply not feasible now. You must know that they don’t even understand where they are, let alone adopt this method. The only thing Luo Yan can do is to repeat the detection and restart process to look forward to the recovery of the intelligent brain system.
But luck obviously did not stand on their side. More than an hour later, the fifth restart of the intelligent brain system still failed, and the soul of the Pioneer spacecraft was still asleep.
"I'll try again..." Luo Yan's face was a little pale. She said with a reluctant smile, but when her finger was about to touch the keyboard of the control console, Su Yichen stopped her.
“No need to try.”
"But……."
"At least you don't have to try it now." Su Yichen firmly pressed her hand and shook her head and said, "Let's replace it with ordinary programs first. The problem of the intelligent brain system will be solved slowly in the future. You are too tired and you need to rest."
"I……."
"Listen to me! I'm the captain!"
Looking at her husband's eyes, Luo Yan finally nodded slowly. In fact, she knew in her heart that Su Yichen was right. Five consecutive restarts failed, which means that the problem was not in the results of her previous test. If we want to find out the cause, it may take a long time, and whether it can be solved is unknown. Now, the easiest alternative is to temporarily replace it with an ordinary program first, and then slowly find out the problem. If we continue to do this, maybe Luo Yan will be exhausted before finding out the problem.
The use of alternative programs does not require Luo Yan to do this, Su Yichen can complete it himself. More than an hour later, when the temporary alternative program is completed, the Pioneer spacecraft finally recovered a certain ability. Although it is now unable to fly curvature because it loses its "soul", it can barely sail in ordinary flight states.
After all, the alternative program is an alternative program. Even if it is flying in a normal state, it cannot reach the intelligent brain program. In other words, the Pioneer spacecraft has now lost its automatic control and entered a very primitive semi-automatic state. During the flight, it also requires personnel assistance. Fortunately, there are three people on the spacecraft now. If only Su Yichen and his wife were two, this workload would be overwhelming for a long time.
"Mr. Anthony, please keep an eye on this data. If there is a change of more than 5% or more, press this button immediately." In order to improve everyone's efficiency, Su Yichen arranged for Raymond Anthony to be responsible for one of the links. This link is relatively simple. During the previous voyage, Raymond Anthony also had a little understanding of the control of the Pioneer spacecraft and quickly mastered the work he was responsible for.
"Ok! No problem!" After Raymond Anthony grasped it, he made an OK gesture to Su Yichen, and then Su Yichen turned around and walked towards his seat, but as soon as he turned around, Raymond Anthony called him.
"What else?" Su Yichen turned around and asked.
"I want to ask for advice on where we are now." Raymond Anthony asked hesitantly.
"The star map is still comparing, but don't worry, we are still in the Milky Way. I will tell you when the specific position coordinates come out as the captain." Su Yichen replied calmly, then walked directly to his position and sat down. Then he focused on the links he was responsible for.
Raymond Anthony just asked casually. Su Yichen's answer made him feel relieved for a while, and then he lowered his head to monitor his work. But he didn't know that what Su Yichen said was not entirely the truth, although they have now confirmed that the surrounding airspace is safe, whether it is the previous chasing fleet or the dark matter bombs that were forced to detonate later. These dangers have passed. But the problem is that due to the failure of the restart of the intelligent brain system, they cannot accurately locate their location, that is, they have lost their direction in the universe.
Starting from the solar system to the Red Dark Nebula, the Pioneer spacecraft along the way was navigation by the intelligent brain system through star map positioning. Now, there is a problem with the intelligent brain system, and the alternative temporary programs cannot complete the navigation task at all. It is like a car driving on a strange road, and after losing the direction and map, it is impossible to judge where it is.
Fundamentally speaking, the problems we are facing now are even more terrifying, such as cars trekking on strange roads, and even ships that lose their way in the sea. After all, on land or in the ocean, people can rely on the direction of the sun or the commands of the starry sky at night to find the correct route. However, in the universe, especially in the universe where they are now, there are strange starry skyscrapers in all directions, and the traditional positioning method has failed. Moreover, after losing the intelligent brain system, the Pioneer spacecraft has no ability to navigate curvature, which is even more deadly to them.
Another point, Su Yichen did not tell Raymond Anthony that they are no longer in the Red Dark Nebula. Judging from the surrounding situation, no one knows where they are. Those strange starry sky are clearly the normal universe, but the familiar starry sky cannot be found in it.
Su Yichen knew, and Luo Yan also knew that there was only Raymond on the Pioneer spacecraft. Anthony didn't know that in order to avoid trouble, they did not tell the other party the truth. Now, there is no other way except to choose a direction in the starry sky to fly in the ordinary flying state. Doing so at least allows them to try to find familiar starry sky positions during movement to determine their location, or encounter other cosmic civilizations to get assistance. In addition, there is another way, that is, to repair the intelligent brain system as soon as possible. Only when the intelligent brain system is restarted and restored, the Pioneer spacecraft can have the previous interstellar navigation capabilities.
For more than a month, Su Yichen and Luo Yan were working hard to do these things, but their efforts still did not have much effect. The starry sky around was still so unfamiliar, and the intelligent brain system had not recovered. The Pioneer spacecraft could only rely on ordinary flight states to navigate, which was as slow as a snail compared to the previous curvature navigation method.
"Su, are we going to go on a trek?" In fact, Raymond Anthony felt something was wrong more than ten days ago, and today he could no longer help but ask directly.
Su Yichen hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to nod and admit it, the spacecraft suddenly vibrated violently. The oscillation came extremely suddenly, and even deviated from the direction of the spacecraft that was sailing to the left by a full degree. Su Yichen, who was not prepared at all, almost threw out the seat.
"Are you okay?" Su Yichen tried hard to keep his composure and shouted loudly.
"I'm fine." Luo Yan replied.
"I'm fine, either." Although Raymond Anthony was as embarrassed, fortunately he was not injured.
"Analyze the scan now, what happened just now?" Su Yichen shouted loudly.
Under his control, the Pioneer spacecraft returned to a steady state. Although the oscillation is still continuing, its intensity is much smaller than the first oscillation. This situation will not occur at all when the intelligent brain system is normal, because the intelligent brain system will continuously scan and feedback the space around the heading in advance while sailing to ensure the safety of navigation. But now, in the case of program replacement, this function has failed.
Luo Yan's analysis scan quickly showed results. When her results came out, Su Yichen was stunned because this result told them that the spacecraft had just experienced the impact of an energy oscillation wave generated by a strong supernova explosion, and the source of this oscillation wave was located to their right.
Supernova explosion? Su Yichen hurriedly opened the three-dimensional projection to observe the universe. When he saw that there was indeed a very bright star on their right side, he suddenly felt thoughtful. If he had guessed correctly, this bright star should be the supernova that exploded. According to the speed of light and oscillation speed, the explosion was already completed when the oscillation arrived, so from their position, they could only see the extremely bright star.
