Chapter 2724 Star Core Rescue (Ten)
The hatch of the space station's docking bay slowly opened, and a small spaceship flew in. However, unlike the main cabin next door, there were no employees here who looked anxious to leave on the spaceship. To be precise, there was nothing here, because this was originally a cargo hold for transporting goods. It was Nick who enabled the remote authority to allow the spaceship carrying Schiller to come here.
Ben Parker must show up in public, but Schiller may not. It is best for the two of them to have one in the open and the other in the dark, because no one knows what exactly happened to the space station accident. If the mastermind has not left yet, it will be very interesting.
As soon as Ben Parker got off the spaceship, he rushed to the conference room as fast as he could. He pushed the door open with a bang. Countless pairs of eyes stared at him, and even more people stood up.
"Oh my God, Ben?! Didn't you go back to treat your illness? Why are you here?!" An old employee under Parker rushed up, and Ben Parker quickly hugged him.
"I'm back, friends. I heard that there was a problem with the power system here and you were trapped, so I found an old friend of mine in SHIELD and brought him here on the plane that will evacuate you."
"You are crazy." Another female scientist shouted, "Now we are trapped, do you want to be like us? You should not come back!"
"I know, of course I know, oxygen is limited..."
"That's not what I meant, it's dangerous here!"
Seeing that she seemed to be hinting at something, Ben Parker walked up to her and looked at her and said, "The Earth has not given up on you. They have been actively trying to find a solution. Now they are mobilizing spacecraft from the Solar System Starport to pick you up..."
"No, don't let them come." Another black man came up and said, "This is not right. I mean someone may have been lying in ambush for a long time."
The female scientist took Ben Parker to the table next to her. There were a lot of research materials on the table, as well as traces of their writing and drawing. The ink had not dried yet, and it was obvious that they had just discussed it.
"This is Li, who is in charge of the photovoltaic integrated system safety system. This is Fandier, the space station software coding engineer. This is Mohammed, the physical structure engineer..."
After introducing Ben Parker, the female scientist said, "We have nothing to do here, so we started discussing the cause of the accident. At first, Li proposed that the photovoltaic integrated system is not something that can be damaged by wrenches and hammers. Then Van Dier also discovered that the damage to the software and hardware occurred almost at the same time. The power engineer does not have the ability to invade the power control program of the space station..."
The more Ben Parker listened, the deeper his frown grew. He knew that the colleagues he worked with were all human elites, or rather, he had the lowest education and background among them. The others all graduated from prestigious universities, with four or five PhDs per person. They would not speak nonsense.
"If we send the spacecraft over now, there might be problems." The black man raised a very terrifying possibility. He said, "If someone can destroy the photovoltaic integrated system in this way and make half of the space station fall, he can definitely make the whole thing crash. But he didn't do that. I'm afraid he wants to take us hostage."
"His purpose is worth thinking deeply about." The female scientist crossed her arms and said, "In fact, this space station has taken a new step in the field of human science, but it is not a big step. Most of the technologies used here are upgraded versions of Earth technology, not new original technologies, and the materials are also borrowed from the metals of alien planets."
"To exaggerate a bit, we are not even the most cutting-edge scientists. The real national treasures are all on Earth. Whether it is destroying us or the space station, it cannot be considered a heavy blow to humanity. If I were the guy who was hostile to humans, I would not stop there."
The more Ben Parker thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He said, "You mean the other party's target is likely to be the spacecraft?"
Several scientists looked at each other and said, "It might be worse than that. Their target might be the Earth."
Seeing Ben Parker was a little confused, one of the physicists stood up and said, "The spaceships we seized from the Kree are completely different from the small spaceships of Wakanda. Their frigates are real spaceships, not intragalactic transportation."
"If I were to make an analogy, Wakanda's spaceship is roughly equivalent to a bicycle. It is easy to operate, does not take up space, does not consume much energy, and is very safe. There are no parts on the spaceship that could explode and cause serious damage."
"The Kree frigate is roughly equivalent to a tanker truck. Whether you can drive it or not, as long as it is started and parked there, it can be considered a huge threat."
"Because of what?" Ben Parker asked.
"Gravity," the female scientist replied. "The Kree ships have very sophisticated gravity control devices, but Earth doesn't. It's like driving a new tanker truck onto a bonfire. The former has protection, but the latter doesn't."
Ben Parker thought for a moment, then said, "What disaster would happen if gravity got out of control?"
"Most of the Kree's frigates are not big enough. Even with their sophisticated gravity control system, they are not enough to directly change the Earth's orbit. However, the gravitational imbalance is likely to cause the tides to get out of control. A tsunami may occur on Earth, and the land may be submerged by the sea."
Ben Parker was startled, and the Chinese scientist turned around to get the information and showed it to Ben Parker, saying, "The current space station is still orbiting the earth in the established orbit. Assuming that the spacecraft that picks us up arrives in two hours, the space station will be located directly above the North American continent. If we want to complete the evacuation within half an hour, the main frigate cannot be too far away from the space station."
"This distance is more than enough to cause tidal fluctuations." The female scientist pointed to the picture they drew and said, "As long as there is a slight problem with the gravity control system of the spacecraft, a terrible tsunami will be triggered in North America, and then spread to the world. The worst result is that a large amount of sea water on the earth will completely submerge civilization."
Ben Parker felt his head buzzing. He said, "But the spacecraft has been modified by many scientists, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"Of course not in theory, but don't forget that in theory the space station will not have any problems."
Ben Parker realized that if no one interfered with the rescue work, it might be able to proceed smoothly, but someone couldn't hold back. Before finding out what happened to the space station, no one could guarantee that the other party did not have the ability to attack the spacecraft.
Ben Parker looked from outside and saw that most of the staff were now concentrated in this area. However, there were few large rooms on the Star Core Space Station, so most of them were divided into different groups by department and stayed in different rooms.
It is said that this was the idea of the head of the research department. Staying with familiar people can reduce panic, and not gathering in large numbers can also prevent the spread of panic. As long as there is one sober person in a group, it will not be a problem for him to become the backbone of four or five people, but more than that will not work.
Ben Parker is now very grateful for this decision. Most of the staff were ordinary technicians. They thought it was just an accident caused by a technician's operational error and did not realize that this might be a man-made disaster.
Once they discover that people on Earth may be hesitant to rescue them, the panic will be difficult to control.
Ben Parker knew what he should do most now. He sneaked into each room as quickly as possible and said that he had returned from Earth with the purpose of bringing good news. The United Nations had basically decided on the rescue plan and was completely confident that everyone could be rescued before the oxygen ran out.
His comfort was effective because in people's eyes, a brave man who chose to go against the current at this time would not lie to them.
Ben Parker has always had a good reputation, and everyone knows that his nephew is an important researcher and has a close relationship with Stark. Even if it is just to save Ben Parker, they will definitely do their best and they will not be left here to die.
But back in the original room, Ben Parker was also a little worried. He looked at the scientists and said, "Do you have any way to investigate what is going on?"
"In fact, there is a way." The Chinese scientist said, "So far, except for the technical worker on the rail, no one has ever seen how the photovoltaic integrated device was destroyed."
"Aren't there any cameras around?" Ben Parker asked.
"In fact, there is, but the program is also damaged. This is the key." Several scientists gathered in front of the table. One of them took out a pen and drew a simple diagram. He said: "The damaged photovoltaic integrated device is the largest in the entire space station. There are 18 cameras nearby that can take pictures of the surface of this integrated device, and about 6 of them can take pictures of the whole picture."
He drew the approximate locations of the six cameras on the blueprint. Apparently he had inspected the space station when it was first built and took notes.
"The six cameras were not physically damaged, but as the hardware of the photovoltaic integrated device was destroyed, the software was also hacked and deleted, and the surveillance images stored in the cameras were also deleted. This is the biggest evidence that the disaster was man-made, because a skilled worker would not be able to do this unless he had an accomplice who was proficient in computers."
"Again, although the image has been deleted, the camera is not damaged. As long as we can restart the camera, we can take a picture of the damaged photovoltaic integrated device. I am very familiar with this thing. As long as I can take a look, I can probably determine what happened to the other party."
"So what are you waiting for?" Ben Parker said.
But soon the black scientist shook his head and said, "How can we say that someone is playing tricks? The main control room that can deploy the cameras around the photovoltaic integrated device is in the other half of the space station. We just tried to send a message to our acquaintances over there, but no one replied to us. They may have already..."
The atmosphere in the room fell silent, but Ben Parker said, "No, they are not dead. Before I came here, I heard that the other half of the space station fell off, but now it is suspended in the sky above the southern waters of Australia, and the people inside are just unconscious."
"Oh, I see. It's because of the rapid fall, right?" The white old man among the scientists sighed and said, "They are so lucky. If it were me, I would have died the moment I fell."
"This guy was even able to attack the photovoltaic integrated device outside the space station, which means he must be well-equipped. We can't defeat him on our own."
"But we must secretly investigate his identity. This also affects whether the frigate can come to rescue us, and how to rescue us."
"Indeed." The female scientist pushed up her glasses and said, "To investigate this, we must send people to the other half of the space station... Ben, how did you get here?"
