Chapter 244 Seizing Power

"Theoretically, this is true. But we don't know whether it will blow up with us, and whether it can pass through the gap is also unknown." Another congressman shook his head.

"You don't have to worry about this. My sixth sense is still very accurate. We can rely on my sixth sense to avoid danger." Shen Yahui remembered that he had escaped fatal crises many times with this strange feeling. . At this time, he would rather believe in himself than wait passively for death.

"We can't possibly put the lives of the entire ship on your unreliable sixth sense." One person sneered and shook his head.

Others also think the same way. In their opinion, Shen Yahui's plan is too crazy. If the plan fails, they will have to finish it immediately, but if they maintain the status quo, they still have decades to live.

In this way, the plan to detonate the hyperspace engine was unanimously rejected. In the end, everyone turned around and left Shen Yahui, who was already red-eyed, and the seeds of hatred were sown.

Ten years later. The 550th year of entering the wormhole

There are still forty-seven years left before the Ark Cancer's design life. After such a long period of use, some new faults have begun to appear in the internal components of the Ark.

For those in the know, they understand that these failures are all within the design calculations, but for ordinary people who have only undergone simple training in the virtual space, the current Ark is already crumbling and is approaching its end.

"We can't go on like this. As long as the spacecraft breaks down in a few years, we won't be able to repair it at all!" Several guards responsible for guarding the manufacturing factory gathered around.

These days, they have watched countless spacecraft parts being shipped out of the manufacturing plant, and countless damaged parts being sent to the refining center for recycling. In their opinion, with so many broken parts every day, isn't this Ark about to be finished? What?

However, they ignored the huge size of the entire Ark. So many parts are just a drop in the ocean for the entire Ark.

"Let's just listen to Captain Shen and detonate the hyperspace engine." Shen Yahui's plan has already been spread by thoughtful people to all the awakened crew members. Originally, everyone still thought of being content with the status quo, but after seeing the Ark Order After people were worried about the current situation, these people's ideas slowly changed.

"But other members will not agree. We are now in emergency democratic governance mode. If other members do not agree, the captain has no right to launch the hyperspace engine." A guard shook his head.

"Then let's cooperate with the captain to take down the other congressmen. Anyway, we will definitely die in a few years. We might as well give it a try!" A soldier who had been secretly bribed by Shen Yahui and was loyal to him finally rounded off Shen Yahui's idea. Speak up.

"Yes! We will put several councilors under house arrest and wait until the Ark leaves hyperspace before releasing them. Anyway, they are only in acting positions now." Another guard also agreed.

"I will contact Captain Shen! You wait for my news, and you secretly look for people who have the same idea." The leader of the guard who was bribed by Shen Yahui said.

"I understand." Everyone dispersed, and the bribed guard sneered and dialed Shen Yahui's communication.

"Captain, your plan has been successful. The parts we destroyed successfully scared these people. They all thought that the spacecraft had suffered a large-scale malfunction."

"And they have agreed to your plan." The guard said respectfully into the communicator.

"Very good, you did a good job!" Shen Yahui hung up the communication with satisfaction. He had endured for ten years and continued to expand his power, and now it's finally time for him to fight back!

Three nights later, the lights were brightly lit in the high-rise residential area of ​​Ark. Based on the idea of ​​carpe diem, the nine councilors have had their own partners in these years. At this moment, they are all enjoying the warmth at home or enjoying delicious supper. In the end, they The more you want to enjoy life.

The nine council members showed no signs of vigilance. In this ark where everyone was one, not even a single fight had occurred in more than five hundred years, and there was no need to lock the door when sleeping at night.

They had no idea what was going to happen tonight.

Dozens of figures surrounded the villa where the nine congressmen were staying, holding black stun guns in their hands.

Several congressmen who were at home were unaware of the approaching danger until their windows were violently smashed from the outside and several fully armed soldiers rushed into their homes.

"You! What are you doing! Do you want to rebel?" the congressman shouted in horror as he looked at the soldiers who rushed into his home.

"No, it's just that something happened to the spacecraft. We have to protect you until the spacecraft is repaired." The soldier sneered and pulled the trigger of the stun gun in his hand.

"Get some sleep" were the last words the congressman heard before he lost consciousness.

"End the work and move them to the dormant warehouse!" The bribed soldier directed the crowd to carry the nine congressmen to the dormant warehouse of the Ark.

As the sleep cabin cover closed, the robotic arm placed the nine sleep cabins into the cylindrical sleep hall.

After the other soldiers left, the leading soldier, no, was already an officer. The leading officer circled around for a moment and found that no one was around, and then brought out the Jiutai dormant chamber again.

After the dormant chamber returned to the room, he removed the rear panel of the dormant chamber, revealing a small tube. This tube was a special tube for delivering nutrient solution to the dormant chamber.

The officer took out a thin steel needle from the storage box of the power armor. The surface of the steel needle was covered with stains. This steel needle was found in the sewage system of the Ark, and the top was covered with various pollutants and toxic elements.

The officer raised the thin needle and stabbed it into the nutrient solution delivery pipes of the nine hibernation chambers one by one.

Because all organs of the body will be in a dormant state during hibernation, they will not clean themselves, and the toxic components and waste that enter the nutrient solution will spread throughout the body of the sleeper, and small organisms such as bacteria and viruses that are not affected by the hibernation solution will also enter the human body.

After a sneer, the officer put away the thin needle in his hand and pressed the button on the side, and the nine hibernation chambers were sent to the hibernation hall again.

The reason why he did this was that he was afraid that the nine people would look for the mastermind behind this incident after waking up. His master Shen Yahui was fine, but a small soldier like him was in danger, so he planned to take the initiative and eliminate the trouble forever.

Shen Yahui, who had completely controlled the power of the Ark, would never have thought that his subordinates would do such a thing behind his back.

A few days later, the plan to use the hyperspace engine to blow up the wormhole passage was unanimously approved by all crew members.

The Ark's hyperspace engine was dismantled with the unremitting efforts of everyone and the construction robots. A hyperspace engine as large as a frigate was lifted out of the Ark from under the heavy deck that was opened.

A frigate responsible for the safety of the Ark flew over the hyperspace engine and firmly fixed the hyperspace engine with a magnetic lock.

However, in order to charge the hyperspace engine, there are several huge energy transmission cables between the hyperspace engine and the Ark.
