Chapter 1614: Infiltrate both familiar and unfamiliar (1/2)

Li Yao gently shook the wrist-style tactical brain, and the picture on the light screen suddenly changed, becoming a three-dimensional structural diagram of the part of the ship he was on.

As his thoughts flowed, most of the cabins and the pipes and connections between the cabins appeared in the form of translucent light and shadow, separated and combined one after another, evolving into gaps for sneaking in.

This is a rough structure diagram preliminarily deduced based on Tang Xiaoxing's description.

Naturally, it is not enough to rely on such a three-dimensional map that is dictated and deduced.

However, it can at least tell Li Yao where the oxygen pipeline is.

Li Yao likes to dive into a starship the most, because no matter how complicated the structure of a starship, as long as it is sailing in the vacuum of the universe, it must have an oxygen production and transmission system, and it needs to have oxygen pipes extending in all directions to transport fresh air to it. Go to every corner of the starship.

The larger the scale of the starship, the greater the population in the starship, so the scale and number of oxygen pipelines will definitely become larger and larger. It is not a joke to instantly supply the oxygen consumption of hundreds of millions of people in a sealed environment—unless The people living in the starship are all carrying oxygen cylinders and breathing masks to live their lives. That is impossible!

The Firefly has sailed in the sea for a thousand years, and it is in dilapidated condition from the inside to the outside. The oxygen transmission pipeline is no exception. There have been many breakages and omissions. It is undergoing comprehensive repairs and renewal, and it is impossible to completely seal it.

This gave Li Yao a chance.

”Zizzi!”

A dark red ring appeared on his finger. The surface of the ring floated with light and shadow. A series of runes seemed to break free from the shackles of the metal surface and floated into the air. In the rapid rotation, they formed a crimson psionic energy. dagger.

Although it does not feel the slightest amount of heat from the appearance, this dagger, which is as thin as a cicada-wing, especially the serrated flame that surrounds the outermost periphery, has a high temperature of thousands of degrees, which is enough to break through the walls of ordinary metal or ceramic tubes. .

Li Yao carefully cut the wall of the radiating pipe, and quickly broke a hole that was not much larger than a fist, but was big enough for him to squeeze through.

Drilling out this hole, there are dozens of dense pipes entwined together, it is a jungle of pipes!

”Yes...here!”

According to Tang Xiaoxing's instructions, Li Yao quickly found the oxygen pipeline.

However, he didn't cut it immediately, but gently turned the ring, turning the flame from a hot crimson to a cold blue.

The oxygen concentration in it is very high. It's no joke in case it accidentally explodes.

At the same time, he took out a magic weapon that was extremely flexible, like an insurance film, and wrapped himself outside the oxygen pipeline.

——There is an automatic pressure test system in the pipeline. If a large amount of high-concentration oxygen escapes, an alarm will be issued. Within five minutes, a maintenance person will come over to check it. In such a short time, he will be on the pipe wall. The cut entrance is absolutely impossible to hide.

With everything ready, Li Yao concentrated his attention and carefully cut the pipe wall.

And when he got into the oxygen delivery pipeline, he did not use welding to re-weld the round pipe wall, but used a special gel to gently ”stick” it. go back.

Naturally, the firmness of this gel is not very good, and the sealing performance is not very good. It can support up to ten days and a half months-for Li Yao's plan, it is enough.

If everything goes well, they will be able to rescue Captain Tang Dingyuan in no more than 24 hours.

Li Yao took a deep breath, curled up in the narrow and tortuous oxygen delivery pipe, looked at the depths of the darkened pipes before and after. Next, he did two things.

First, he straightened his arm, and the wrist-style tactical crystal brain was directed at the front, and a circular probe was slowly extended from the front of the crystal brain.

This is the magic weapon he used to explore the pipeline structure.

The principle is very simple. It is neither an ultrasonic feedback system nor spiritual exploration-both methods may be discovered by countermeasures that may exist deep in the pipeline.

In fact, what he is exploring is not the pipeline structure, but the area in front of ”extremely high oxygen concentration”.

In order to improve the efficiency of transporting fresh air, the oxygen concentration in this pipeline is several times that of normal air, which is close to the pure oxygen used in medical treatment. Therefore, as long as you can sense where such high concentration of pure oxygen is flowing, you can Can figure out the direction of the entire pipeline and the ramshackle branches.

After a while, on the light curtain of the crystal brain, a map of the super large-scale pipeline that resembled a mixture of capillaries and neural networks slowly emerged.

Li Yao whistled softly, it seemed that he was still young!

He overlapped this map with the three-dimensional map deduced by Tang Xiaoxing, corrected many omissions and errors on the three-dimensional map, determined his destination again, and calculated the nearest one to climb from here to the destination. line.

However, before we start, there is one more thing.
