Chapter 471 Waiting
Luo Xi has reached the power area of ​​the Earth spacecraft.

Fortunately, Luo Yingran is a level 4 engineer and has the authority to enter this area.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, even an official of a high administrative level, they would not be able to pass the security verification here.

This is destiny.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Luo Xi to implement his plan from the very beginning.

As the last hope of mankind, the Earth has extremely high safety standards in all aspects. Because of this, those senior engineers who are able to board the ship in person are carefully selected from among the human elite.

They have different roles and levels, representing the level of areas they can enter.

Level 4 engineer has the highest authority among engineers.

Therefore, the authority of Luo Yingran that Luo Xi is using now can be said to make him one of the very few people on Earth who can enter this area.

This time Luo Xi did not delay. In fact, from the moment he woke up on the Earth, he had been calculating the time. He started by doing mental arithmetic, and then asked the AI ​​adjutant to help him with timing.

About one hour and thirty-seven minutes had passed since he woke up.

There may be some differences, but not too big.

At this moment Luo Xi has realized why he needs to trap Wei Si, because if Wei Si is still in control of this huge spaceship, he would never be alive until now, let alone reach the core area such as the main engine area.

The antimatter reactor that serves as the main power source of the spacecraft has an extremely large metal shell. This hugeness is only in the superficial sense. Even the elliptical shell that Luo Xi saw at this moment, which was over several hundred meters in size, was only a part of it.

To enter it, you need to go through a special ‘engineering channel’.

After entering the outermost layer of protection, it becomes very difficult to go further inside.

Because, at this point, there is no passage anymore.

The core of the antimatter reactor is impossible to open, it is sealed with special materials, and there is also an unimaginable magnetic field. Luo Xi certainly cannot enter the core, he just has to keep getting closer and closer, to the distance where the mecha dual-mode battery pack will affect the antimatter core after the explosion.

All of these have been calculated many times by the AI ​​adjutant on the armor, and are rigorous and scientific.

During this process, Luo Xi used some of the tools he brought with him, such as a portable plasma cutter, to cut a gap in some sealed shells to allow him to enter. After making sure that he had reached the closest position to the antimatter reactor as far as he could go, Luo Xi asked the AI ​​adjutant to perform another calculation.

“After calculation, the current distance is very dangerous. If an explosion occurs due to overloading of the battery module, there is a 50% chance that the reactor will be detonated, causing an annihilation explosion and resulting in catastrophic consequences.”

“Okay, pack this data and upload it immediately once network communication is restored.” Luo Xi gave the last instruction to the AI ​​adjutant.

He probably knew that when the network inside the spacecraft was restored, it meant that Dimension 4 was back online.

Luo Xi took off his portable armor and disassembled it according to different modules. In this way, even if the external instructions asked the AI ​​adjutant to do something, it would be powerless.

After that, Luo Xi began to continue dismantling.

He disassembled the armor further and retained the components of the helmet, which was the area of ​​the AI ​​adjutant.

The focus of the disassembly is the dual-mode battery pack.

Luo Xi brought the paper version of the drawings with him. He referred to the manual and removed the overload protector on the dual-mode battery pack. He then connected it to the current gun that he had removed from the cleaner. Luo Xi had already had the AI ​​adjutant verify the specific technical parameters many times before.

Without the overload protector, the dual-mode battery pack that was specially modified by Luo Xi internally, plus the current gun, turned into an artificial bomb.

Using an electric current gun, through a special short-circuit, the maximum power overload can be reached instantly, and the battery pack will explode directly. After the explosion at this location, the probability of detonating the antimatter reactor is fifty percent.

From beginning to end, everything was calculated by AI. After Luo Xi finished all this, he sealed the gap he had opened with the cutter and began to wait.

It was stuffy here, and there was no oxygen after the gap was sealed. Fortunately, there was still the oxygen cylinder inside the armored suit, which could provide Luo Xi with more than seven hours of oxygen. He wore a breathing mask and held a modified electric current gun, which was surrounded by many wires, and over there was a dual-mode battery pack.

After making sure there was no problem, Luo Xi closed his eyes and tried to reduce the oxygen consumption caused by physical activity.

“The time of the imprisonment day is not synchronized with the outside world. One day inside is equivalent to one hour outside. In other words, these seven hours can at least be reincarnated into seven cycles within the imprisonment day. Can Qiu Kui and the others achieve their goal during this time?”

Luo Xi muttered to himself at this time.

There are some things he can calculate, but many more things he cannot predict.

Especially the situation on the Earth, Luo Xilai had never expected it to be so dangerous.

He had been thinking about countermeasures before, and now that he had determined how to deal with Wei Si, Luo Xi began to speculate what had happened on the Earth based on the clues at hand.

Prior to this, he had learned a key piece of information through his AI adjutant.

The flight time of the Earth.

It has now exceeded 23000 Earth Days.

According to the voyage plan, the Earth has already traveled half of its journey. As for its destination, it is Centaurus, 4.3 light-years away from Earth. That place is seen as the new home and new hope of mankind.

But for Luo Xi, those are still too far away.

If the crisis of Dimension 4 cannot be resolved, even if the Earth finally reaches its destination, it will not be able to start building a new home as originally planned.

Luo Xi placed the several lighting lamps he brought earlier in several locations around him, just enough to illuminate where he was and the outer wall.

“Luo Yingran believes that we only need to change the main control system of the spacecraft to version V3 to eliminate dimension . At present, this method should not work.”

Luo Xi became more and more certain that the last time he came out using number 000, he was executing the backup plan.

It turns out that Dimension 4 still exists.

“So, the previous me failed, which is why I left skin tissue with words written on it in Luo Yingran’s hibernation chamber. These are known facts. Strictly speaking, by the time it came to me, I actually had no chance of winning, so the previous me believed that ‘Dimension Four cannot be eliminated’.”

“My previous self was not weak. He was even stronger than me now. He was the real complete self. He planned everything, but he failed in the end. That’s why I can’t follow their old path. I can only find another way and take a different approach.”

Luo Xi looked at the bomb he had modified and closed his eyes again.

Next, all he had to do was wait.

Meet Wei Si before the oxygen runs out.

At this moment, Luo Xi suddenly thought of something. He opened his eyes and reached out to pick up the exoskeleton ceramic armor helmet.

“adjutant!”

“I’m here, go ahead!”

“Record the contents of the recording. Upload it to Wei Si as soon as the network is restored. Seven hours later, when my oxygen runs out, I will directly detonate the bomb. You have two choices. One is to gamble on the 50% probability, and the other is to bring me oxygen supplies and negotiate with me!”
