Chapter 1456: Warren Field


Loneliness can destroy a person, especially when you are in a wounded, endless drifting Ark in the dark, this loneliness can be magnified multiple times: the ruins outside the safe area of ​​the Ark, the outside of the spaceship Dark space, unchanging spacecraft cabins and rigid shipboard hosts, these things can make determined soldiers on the verge of collapse. Except for long-lived species such as the Spirit Apostles or gods, few mortals can face such a long and Years of loneliness, I believe that Commander Warren Field is a trained soldier, and as a servant of the Old Empire, he should have the tenacity and bravery qualities, but none of these things can help He has lived through the twelfth year-although it is a shame, these records we found indicate that his last trace of reason disappeared in the twelfth year.
However, everything cannot be concluded. There are still some rooms deep in the work area that have not been found. There may be information left by Warren Field in the last days of his life. Even in a state of insanity, the starship commander is still instinctual. Driven by engraving things that are of great significance to him on the wall and equipment, although there is a lot of nonsense in those words, if we carefully sort out, we can still find information related to this ghost ship, At least based on the information found so far, we can already determine the purpose of this ship, right?
The rooms in the work area were opened one by one, and more than half of the doors were locked, requiring Sandora to cut them forcibly, but the other half of the rooms could be easily accessed: the doors were unlocked. This is also normal, after all, the crew who lived here only had one person, it didn't make much sense to lock or not lock the door. The little crow released all her fissures. Although the little fast and clever little guys didn't know how to read (their mothers didn't recognize the characters), they already knew that the large symbols carved on the wall were what we wanted. They were looking for things in front of us, and we followed the records. More and more information was presented in front of me and Sandora. Most of what makes sense is the diary before Warren went crazy:
"Warren Field's diary, on the 96th day, I seem to be a little accustomed to this kind of life. I have regular schedules, regular meals, regular work and sports, except that I can't communicate with people and can't go shopping. Everything is the same as before, the life of soldiers is so boring and boring. But I still hope that there can be a little more interesting entertainment here. The designers of the spacecraft-maybe should not criticize them, but they do not know enough about mortals. This ship The entertainment room is almost a joke. They just designed such a room temporarily based on the logic that mortals need entertainment. They didn't put anything in it that I was interested in. It seems that they have to find some fun.
"Warren Field's diary, for 123 days, I was chatting with the shipboard host for half a day today. This rigid thing seems to be personal, but it is the way of thinking of the Apostles of the Spirit. In my opinion It ’s almost a machine. I have n’t liked her much, but today it ’s changed a bit. Because I suddenly realized that the only person in this spaceship that can talk to myself seems to be this. This silent spaceship is ready to do everything. Probably few, the carrier-based host is the smartest guy you can find here. Chatted with the host-based host about this mission. Escape, find other survivors, and send the messages that were not sent after the disaster and other survivors. Exchange ... is not a significant task, but it must be completed. The carrier-based host has always emphasized the importance of this task, as annoying as before, but at least able to chat and relieve boredom. "
"Warren Field's diary. The 150th day was another day of idleness. I was given a few days off in accordance with the habits on the ground, but I didn't know what it meant. I talked with the host on the ship I do n’t think it ’s important. Now I ’m used to using that to call her. Even though the ship-borne host announces that she has no gender, I think it ’s better to think of her as a woman. That ’s it. Then I have reason to endure her more and more frequent health advice and work reminders. I am not sick and have no psychological problems. Why does this host warn me every day to reduce the consumption of stimulant drinks? "
As we check each room, we aggregate these records and arrange the valuable data on the data terminal in chronological order. All the data seem to conform to a rule: records with dates are left for the first 12 years Yes, the gibberish record was left afterwards, but just when we thought that our guess on Warren Field was OK, an unexpected diary appeared: it was carved in a machine room that looked like An obscure corner of your room with the date and order on it:
"Warren Field's Diary, the sixth thousand days, a worthy number, I finally realized what happened. What happened before today is a nightmare. I almost destroyed myself, but the good news is that it finally does. It ’s over, maybe I should thank the floppy host, her high decibel health advice for three days and three nights keeps me from getting drunk in a state of madness. I must reorganize my thinking and find out to avoid entering this madness again An effective means of state, Warren, you must persist, you are the best Heikener, you should complete this task with dignity and tenacity! You are not to let anyone know your achievements, but to complete the military mission Only standing in this spaceship, keep this in mind, keep this in mind, keep this in mind, keep this in mind, keep this in mind! "
Seeing this diary made me face to face with Sandor Ramen, Lina was also surprised by the side: "This guy ... actually survived by himself? Sure enough, it is not the same as the Earth's mental model ..."
"And the credit of that host," Sandora whispered. "The host has been trying to help this human to stay healthy, but she was designed to control the ship, so she does n’t have more. Other functions. Warren Field's mad period lasted for more than three years. She should have been trying to wake him up during the shipborne mainframe ... but she never thought of changing it except to make the medical robot rough. The right way. "
"If only I could find that host," I looked around. In theory, the terminals of the ship-borne host should be located in all the cabins of the spaceship, but the sound of that host is not heard at all. "We have come in for such a long time. Time, the ship's mainframe did not respond, will it have crashed? "
"It's possible that the navigation system of the ghost ship may be separate from the ship's main engine. It may also be related to the downtime of the ship's main engine," Sandora nodded in agreement. "Should find a way to find the main engine room. , You can know more about restarting the host there, but the diary left by this human has not mentioned the clue of the host room till now. "
The core area of ​​the spaceship has a weird interference environment and a strange structure that even Sandora cannot understand, and that the main room may even be located in a different space, so we can only hope that in the diary of Warren Field, we can mention How to enter the main engine room, unfortunately until now everyone has not found anything relevant.
So we can only organize more and more broken diary.
At present, it seems that the main activity area of ​​Warren Field after regaining consciousness has moved from the rest cabin and food production room to the radar observation room and two work rooms. The diary after 6,000 days is also concentrated in this place, although these There are fewer diaries. But as soon as the first one was found, several others were soon discovered one after another. We found something more interesting on the wall of the radar observation room, which seemed to prove that the starship commander was unable to recover even if he was awake. Get rid of the nightmare in your mind completely:
"Warren Field's diary, sixteen hundred and seventy days, a terrible thing happened today, I don't know how ... I thought I was completely used to everything here, used to do things alone and dazed and here The only voice chat. But I suddenly heard another person talking in his ear! Yes, there is another person, except Warren Field and the host on board, there is a third sober guy in this ship Where is he? Is it hide-and-seek with me? The hibernation system is malfunctioning again. Wake up a poor guy again? Oh, maybe this is not a bad thing, I have a companion, and this is not my fault ... I want to find him ! "
"Warren Field's diary. Sixty-seven hundred and seventy-two days, found nothing, 'the third person' has been speaking in my ears for two days. He seems to be living in the room next to him, but the sly guy always I can find the blind spot of my sight. It seems that it is not easy to find the 'third person' by my own efforts. I have considered checking the situation of the sleeping compartment to determine which abominable guy has woke up and is driving this with myself This kind of bad joke, but the hibernation system is still malfunctioning, and the hibernation compartment refuses to open from the outside. I haven't seen those lying guys for many years. In the afternoon, I tried to get the shipboard host to help, but it was rejected, the stubborn Guy, she insists that the "third person" does not exist at all, and asked me to give up this normal effort. It seems that the machine is a machine. I already liked her a little, but now it seems that it is really different from people. "
"Warren Field's Diary, 6173 days, a gloomy day."
The ship-borne mainframe is right, the 'third person' does not exist, everything is poor, and Warren has an illusion. I closed myself in a closed cabin on the advice of the ship-based mainframe and monitored my every move with four sets of cameras. When the 'third person' reappeared and talked to me about the sunrise of my hometown, I was talking by myself. "
"Warren Field's diary, 6176 days, I am in a bad mood. I may fall into a new madness. I must find a way to reverse this situation. The ship-based host suggested that I train a starship There is ample material supply for maintaining hobbies. All hobbies that are not destructive can be satisfied. For the first time, I think that this rigid girl's proposal is also a bit of reference value: although her proposal is still 'based on logic', but It sounded more reliable, more reliable than the treatment plan. Very strange, when will the shipboard host make such suggestions? Don't think about it so much, Warren, cheer up and try to find something in these days do it."
After that, it was a long blank. After searching for a long time, we didn't find the diary between the 6,000th and the 7,000th, which is the diary in a short period of time after the 16th year. I changed to a new place to write his message. This is a habit we found for the starship commander: he will get used to writing his diary in a fixed place in each period of time. Ten days, the long reaches one or two years. This more or less makes it a bit easier for us to organize this information.
In the end, we found a later date in an empty room at the end of the corridor, which had no effect, and that date jumped back a lot:
"Warren Field's diary, 8500 days. I have n’t kept my diary for a long time, so I have forgotten the date. I only know today ’s date after asking the host. The time is numb, but I I think this should be the best state: there is nothing to be happy about. But there will not be any frustration. Such a day may be dull, but at least it is good to live, think about those who have not escaped. And I found a new way to comfort myself: the ship-borne main engine reported that the ship was damaged more than expected. It was originally designed to sail for millions of years, but now it is estimated that it can only fly 100,000. Around the year, maybe the second survivor will not be met before the spacecraft disintegrates, and those in the dormant cabin may disappear in the endless void with the spaceship without knowing it, and me? Oh, lucky Vol Lun, although awakened lonely. At least, before the spacecraft disintegrates, you can enjoy the feeling of being alive for a while, walking and breathing freely. In fact, this is not bad. "
"Warren Field's diary, 8252 days. Another diary is used to record good moods. I have been serving the vegetable garden all day today. My nursery has grown well this year. I think of the ship a few years ago The suggestion made by the host: Cultivate a hobby that can be maintained on the starship. Now it seems that this suggestion is really the genius idea of ​​the rigid girl. The plant seeds found in Gennacuri completely adapt to artificial soil. I can eat again today. It ’s time to grow fresh vegetables. Although the food synthesized by the spacecraft tastes good, the things you grow are not meaningful. I invite the host to have dinner with myself, fresh stewed vegetable soup, of course. The rigid girl refused rightfully, and used a lot of logical arguments to explain why she couldn't eat. She was always so authentic, fortunately she was just one. "
"Warren Field's Diary. 8456 days. Serves the vegetable garden, records some data, and goes to see the old movies in the database. This is life. I did n’t expect to bring it out for the reconstruction of civilization. The video materials are now a good thing to understand stuffiness. The crazy days of previous years are really hard to imagine. If I could realize the value of 'shifting attention' at that time, I could waste a lot of time. Ship-based mainframe She said that the video materials she found are enough for me to see for a lifetime. She is really a caring guy, but a bit dull-she thinks that those teaching films and formulas are also 'entertainment media' and enthusiastically sent those things to me, as if looking forward to Praises. Well, at least she has a good motivation, but she doesn't know when her spirited head will be able to figure out what 'entertainment' is. "
After that, there was a long blank period, the diary was interrupted, or it was moved to other sections that we have not yet discovered. Warren Field has been awake for more than two decades. This ordinary person with a mortal heart has experienced a series of changes in these two decades. He has been strong and optimistic, and has disciplined himself. He relies on some kind of stimulating drink. Paralyzed, and fell into madness and self-abandonment for a short time, he was trapped in the "third-person" hallucination produced by schizophrenia, and was finally relieved with the help of the ship-borne host. He also seemed to plant flowers on the spaceship. And find entertainment that immerses you.
We still do n’t know what ’s wrong with this ship ’s system, so that Warren Field can be awakened separately, but at present it seems that the mortal officer did not self-destruct himself in self-violence. This may be the only good thing. .
If Warren Field's race and humans have similar physiological indicators, then he should have reached middle age: we still have to find the starship commander's final home in his old age.
Li Lina had been running around and searching for clues with the little crows, and suddenly found something, shouting in the corridor outside: "Boss Boss! There's a section here!"
I ran out with Sandora and saw that she and the little crow were pushing hard a metal plate off the wall of the alloy corridor: this metal plate seemed to be part of the deformable corridor, and I did n’t know it was Warren It is also the operation performed by the ship's mainframe, which just blocks another section in the working area.
We finally found a new record here and it was engraved on the corridor wall:
"Warren Field's diary, 30,000 days. An absolutely memorable day, such a huge number: I have woke up so long, it's incredible."
Looking in the mirror, I found that I was old, and had been seriously ill a few days ago. Although I was rescued by the medical room, I do n’t know when the next illness will happen. Probably everything is almost over. "
The ship was not designed from the beginning to allow an occupant to live indefinitely. This is just a hastily constructed exile spacecraft that lacks the necessary life-modifying equipment: even if they exist, they should be located in the outer area that has been completely scrapped, and Heckners are not a long-lived species either, so it seems time to accept the facts. "
This record is kept because a disturbing thing happened a few days ago. I think I need to leave some text to explain my whereabouts and explain to someone who wakes up later why I did something. Some decisions. "
Three days ago, I tried to bypass the ship's mainframe and activate all dormant cabins. "
Although this behavior was quickly stopped by the system, and I was awake myself, I realized that I was relapsed into a new round of madness. Those crazy thoughts that had been entangled in my life and thought that they had been completely suppressed, again There was a plan to make a comeback, and this time, Warren Old did not have enough will to fight it. "
It is a stupid idea to activate other dormant facilities. The carrier-based host explained the problem: the system in the core area of ​​the spacecraft is damaged, and there is no way to provide sufficient supplies. If other dormants wake up, they can only wait for death together. I believe that girl, we have lived together for so long, she has never lied to me ... so I must find a way to completely avoid doing this stupid thing again someday in the future. "
I am in a small warehouse at the end of the corridor. Starting today, no matter what happens, I will not leave that room until the moment of natural death. If anyone who wakes up later can see these texts, you can come here to find me ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and re-awaken the host through the terminal on my hand: in order to extend the life of the ship as much as possible, the host host and other cores The redundant system will shut down after I die, I hope this will get you more time, lying bastards. "
Of course, if you were awakened according to the normal process, then you must have encountered other surviving spacecrafts, and you probably don't need to come here to find anything, I hope so. "
Warren Field, Captain of Schilling VI, was on duty the last day. "
We finally found the Starship Commander, in a small warehouse at the end of the corridor.
The air here has been evacuated, the temperature has been kept extremely low, and the internal environment is similar to the cosmic space. The most energy-efficient way to maintain the state of the captain after his death: this is obviously done by the ship-based mainframe before shutting down.
A skinny old man was sitting on a chair facing the warehouse door, his hair was white, he was wearing the uniform of the old empire, and apparently he had taken care of himself for the last time before he died.
The old man's hands froze rigidly in his chest, and the data terminal that could wake the ship's host was in his hand. (To be continued ...)
