Chapter 245 The Crashed Ark
"Captain, the hyperspace engine has been charged!" A crew member turned the hover chair and reported to Shen Yahui who was sitting in the middle of the bridge.
"Okay, launch the hyperspace engine!" Shen Yahui waved his hand and then closed his eyes. He needed to concentrate on feeling the sixth sense that could determine their life and death.
Very good, after launching the hyperspace engine, his sixth sense did not feel any crisis, which meant that the Ark was likely to escape from the hyperspace, and everyone survived safely. The worst result was that only he survived. Shen Yahui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, after all, he was carrying the heavy lives of 20 million people.
As Shen Yahui's order was issued, the cable connected to the hyperspace engine was retracted into the Ark, and then the outer armor of the Ark was closed again, and the blue shield filled the gap again.
The frigate with the hyperspace engine flying towards the front of the wormhole channel under the control of the ship-borne artificial intelligence. Correspondingly, the thrusters in front of the Ark were also ignited and started, slowing down the speed of the Ark.
The frigate, with the hyperspace engine hanging, sped forward and soon turned into a small black dot invisible to the naked eye.
"How is this distance?" Shen Yahui turned around and asked the scientist beside him.
"Captain, this distance is fine. We arrived just after the explosion." The scientist nodded at the monitor.
"Very good! Start the hyperspace engine!" With Shen Yahui's order, the hyperspace engine lifted by the frigate emitted a purple light.
The two spatial forces collided and a violent explosion occurred, and the entire wormhole was covered by the colorful light produced by the explosion.
"Captain, we are about to pass through the energy cloud composed of high energy!" A crew member shouted loudly.
"Everyone hold the nearest fixed object, there may be some small shaking next!" Shen Yahui turned on the ship-wide broadcast.
The huge Ark roared into the energy cloud produced by the collision and explosion of the hyperspace and wormhole in the expectation of everyone.
"Captain, our energy shield is rapidly depleting! This energy cloud is too damaging to the shield!" The crew member responsible for the Ark's shield was sweating profusely.
"Shield remaining 21%!"
"Shield remaining 11%!"
"Shield broken! Backup shield activated!" As the first layer of the Ark's shield dissipated, the second layer of the shield rose on the Ark.
However, the raised backup shield did not last for more than ten seconds before it broke again!
"All shields have failed, and the energy cloud is eroding the hull!"
"The hyperspace concealment module at the rear of the Ark has been damaged! The reactor at this location has also exploded!"
"The Ark's communication module is damaged!"
"The thrusters around the Ark are being eroded by the energy cloud!"
"All the main thrusters and auxiliary thrusters of the Ark are damaged!" The faces of the crew members have turned pale. Are they going to die here?
"The outer armor of the spacecraft is melting! The connection modules of the cruiser and destroyer have been damaged, and the warships can't leave the Ark!"
"The reactor in another area exploded! The nearby hibernation chambers were affected!"
"The energy in the hibernation chamber control center is short-circuited! One million hibernation chambers have been awakened!" The crew members' faces were extremely bad at this time. The energy cloud has rushed into the Ark, and death is so close to them!
"The energy cloud disappears! We are out! We escaped from the wormhole channel!" With the roar of this crew member, the Cancer Ark suddenly appeared in the orbit of a planet in a star system.
"We succeeded!" Everyone cheered and hugged each other. The one million awakened people looked stupidly at the black hibernation chamber shield in front of them, not knowing what happened.
"Thank you, Captain! It was you who led us out of the desperate situation!" Many crew members bowed deeply to Shen Yahui.
Shen Yahui waved his hand, looking indifferent on the surface, but in fact he was already ecstatic to the point of exploding.
Suddenly, the Ark shook violently, and the people standing on it fell to the ground unsteadily.
"What's going on? Didn't we leave hyperspace?" Shen Yahui shouted at the control console.
"Captain, we are in the orbit of a planet. We have been captured by this planet and are falling towards the ground of the planet!" The crew in front of the control console was full of sorrow. They had just escaped from heaven and had not had time to enjoy the joy of rebirth, but fell into hell again.
"Turn the anti-gravity device of the Ark to the maximum!" Shen Yahui hurriedly ordered loudly. Before the construction of this Ark, it was considered that it would be landed to build the first city, and a high-power anti-gravity engine was designed for it.
"Captain, one-third of the Ark's anti-gravity engine has been damaged. We may hit the ground directly!" The crew stared at the display with bloodshot eyes.
Before the voice fell, the Ark shook again.
The surface of the Ark, which was passing through the atmosphere of the planet, was corroded by the energy cloud. A storage warehouse was ignited by the high temperature generated by friction, and the explosive materials stored exploded. The huge impact force generated by the explosion caused the direction of the Ark to tilt.
"By the way, how many warehouses are there on the ship that contain explosive materials?" Shen Yahui thought of something.
"Captain, we still have 112 such warehouses!" The crew called up the list of spacecraft modules.
"Use the explosions of these warehouses to adjust the landing position of the Ark, and let the Ark glide as close to the ground as possible to slow down and avoid crashing into the ground!" Shen Yahui's tone was firm.
The crew who received the order began to calculate the crash trajectory of the spacecraft, and also took into account the impact of the explosions in various warehouses.
After a while, a series of explosions suddenly occurred on the upper part of the Ark, which was falling to the ground. The shock wave generated by the explosion flattened the hull of the Ark.
After a while, an explosion also occurred on the right rear side, pushing the head of the Ark to the crashed side.
Tens of minutes later, with the help of the warehouse explosion, the Ark adjusted its falling posture and rushed towards the plains on the planet.
The Ark hit the ground, and its huge head pried out a huge gap several kilometers wide on the ground. The heavy Ark kept sliding on the ground.
The Ark stopped only after rushing out for dozens of kilometers, and thick smoke came out from the hull that was already full of holes.
"Ahem, ahem, what's wrong?" Shen Yahui's voice came from the dark bridge. The violent collision made all the holographic screens of the bridge offline, leaving only the faint light of the console.
"The Ark was damaged by 36.4% overall, and the material storage area was even more severely damaged. The remaining materials are only enough to sustain 20 million people for two years!"
