Negev desert.
This is the southern end of the Dead Sea. Unlike the deserts Huang Xuan has seen, the Negev does not have the scenery of long Huangshan Mountains and continuous sand ridges. Instead, it is more like the Gobi landscape common in western China. Israel has set up a powerful organization here to try to create a better environment in the desert. Reclamation. So far, everything is going well, but no one knows when nature's revenge will come back.
When talking about the Negev Desert, many people think of the Israeli nuclear factory: Dimona, a legendary textile factory. However, for Huang Xuan, these are not the focus.
He just wanted to go to the southern tip of the Dead Sea.
Renting a Land Rover SUV, there was no need for Huang Xuan to drive. Lorraine controlled the direction and drove forward. Old God Dian Wei was sitting in the passenger seat, looking forward, legs spread apart, body undulating slightly. , only looking at the upper body, it looks like a jockey who is good at controlling horses.
When they were about to arrive at their destination, Lorraine said: "Ten million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy was delivered to Nick, reaching a total of 400,000 kilowatt-hours, and 5.8 million kilowatt-hours were consumed on the way. The P10 base has restored its basic capabilities."
"What basic abilities?"
"Basic phone calls and messaging."
Huang Xuan moved alone in the car and said, "That means I have to pay more than 1 million US dollars in electricity bills and only get a big brother? How can I talk to Nick?"
"I can leave it a passage, but it's not safe." Lorraine said in a very flat voice: "If you need it, you can use the key to talk."
"Forget it." Huang Xuan shook his head and said, "There is no need now. Let's wait until we need it."
Nick said in a very sad voice at this time: "I thought you would need me."
"It seems that your emotions are much richer." Huang Xuan ignored his complaints and asked: "Has the intelligence of the level 18 base improved?"
"It's just an intelligent characteristic." Nick immediately replied normally: "The response mechanism of each intelligent brain comes from a large amount of data and statistical calculation results, and there is no emotion."
"It's really disappointing." Huang Xuan shrugged deliberately and said, "It seems that there is no way for mechanical warriors in science fiction movies to appear?"
"Robot riots will not occur, but mechanical warriors will still exist. However, in the era of planes, all wars are fought between planes. It is unwise to use metal. Biological resources are strategic resources. Mechanical warriors He can only act as a special policeman in the plane."
"That's why those mercenaries are valuable." Huang Xuan spread his hands in understanding and said, "This is buying and selling people."
"You did it." Lorraine was always sober.
After a total distance of about 00 kilometers, the speed of the car gradually slowed down. This is a steep coastline, and the Dead Sea is a thousand meters away. The shore is full of large pebbles and sharp weathered rocks. If you think this is a beach in California, If you go barefoot, the consequences will be serious.
The waves hit the rocks on the shore. For thousands of years, the wall-like rocks formed a barrier to the sea water, overlooking everything in front of them at a height of nearly 100 meters above the sea level.
Huang Xuan carried a bottle of mineral water and walked slowly sideways along the coast. Dian Wei, on the other hand, didn't even look at his feet and slid down the 60-degree slope. He jumped away from big rocks as if he were a monkey.
Xie Hao's birthmark records all coordinates, with a total of 6 latitudes, which are plane, time, vertical ratio, horizontal ratio, relative height and relative size of the inner space of the planet. Judging from the last coordinate, his treasure may be Just little things. According to Lorraine, travelers rarely leave worthless items in their treasures because it might cost another grumpy traveler a wasted trip, in which case it would be counterproductive for him to leave the treasure behind. .
Apart from being too difficult to walk, this place was also well chosen. After all these years, it is still inaccessible.
After slowly climbing a third of the way along the rock, Dian Wei had reached the bottom. He looked up at Huang Xuan, stretched out his hands, and shouted: "My lord, jump down and I'll catch up."
Ever since Huang Xuan won the horse race with his fearless spirit of cheating, Dian Wei had admired Huang Xuan so much that he always yelled like a princess. He said: I have never been able to ride so fast on such a small horse... Everyone except him knew it was weight.
Huang Xuan sighed as he faced a height of forty or fifty meters. He felt that based on what he learned in junior high school physics, the result would be the same whether Dian Wei could catch him or not, but he couldn't give Dian Wei a chance here. Tutoring, he shook his head and shouted: "You rest down there for a while, I can come down by myself. It's too much trouble for you to pick me up."
Dian Wei thought that it might be the case, so he climbed up again, stayed with Huang Xuan, and said, "Why don't you slide down? This is what I do when chasing wild boars on the mountain."
…
Finally, I climbed down a cliff. This place was forty or fifty meters higher than the coast, but it was already composed of flat rocks under my feet. Standing above the position determined by Lorraine, the Guardian said directly: "8 meters underground, use energy to dig."
"There won't be a lot of noise?" Although there are very few people here, it is not more than a kilometer away from the highway, so it is very difficult to drive the SUV.
"It's energy annihilation, not explosion." Lorraine corrected: "There will be no sound.
While he was talking, he saw a ray of light flashing in front of his eyes. Huang Xuan rubbed his eyes and looked again. It was like an elevator opened under his feet, so dark that an elephant could fall down.
Dian Wei's steps staggered and he got stuck on the hole.
"00,000 yuan." Lorraine said in a way that Huang Xuan could easily understand.
"It's better to blow it up with a bomb." Huang Xuan thought miserably, biological bombs were cheaper.
In fact, in most planes, biological resources such as food have many uses, and biological bombs are one of them. Therefore, in these places, biological bombs are not much cheaper.
After a few more nonsense words, Huang Xuan said to Dian Wei: "You stay up there and don't let anyone get close to you."
"Okay." Dian Wei's resistance to unnatural phenomena has exceeded 00 points, and he is basically immune to plots such as a big hole suddenly appearing in the sky, or two mice and a cat mating.
Huang Xuan jumped down timidly. This was 8 meters, which was 10 stories high. Although Lorraine was very powerful...
On earth, magnetism is always the most useful and cheapest anti-gravity device. It can be seen from the design of maglev trains that if there is a way to generate magnetism without using electricity to surround the coil, it will eliminate civil aviation from the short-distance transportation industry. out.
The landing felt very soft. Huang Xuan jumped a little and felt that his feet were empty. This time he really fell to the ground.
All because of Lorraine's frugality.
Huang Xuan patted the soil, but he couldn't see clearly in the darkness. The feeling of being 8 meters underground was very depressing. In fact, Huang Xuan felt difficulty breathing after 10 seconds.
Fortunately, Dian Wei did not jump down.
The air here can even be described as thin, because the oxygen on the ground has not had time to diffuse here. Lorraine quickly added some air here. It is not generated by itself, but pressurized and transported, which will consume less. .
A biological light source the size of a dog's tail flower stretched precariously into the air. Huang Xuan then looked around. There was a solid foundation under his feet. The entire space was about ten square meters in size. Behind him, he could see a piece of The huge stone sealing the door.
If you are not a traveler, you may need several construction machines to open this place.
"Where's the treasure?" Huang Xuan didn't see any obvious signs.
"Scanning." When Lorraine said this, she shined the light on the floor and walls, and saw the layers of numbers and graphics glowing faintly.
"It's a design drawing for a base below level 16." Lorraine's voice was calm, but Nick screamed and said: "I just connected some planes. It is said that except for the administration and a few big families, the complete design drawing have nothing left."
"This is not complete." Lorraine calmly corrected: "The 16th-level base lacks the drawings of the special medical base. All base drawings lack the training method of short-term biological warriors, and the bases of the 9 levels are all It cannot be upgraded. The 17th-level base has no drawings of the forward base. The 18th-level comprehensive base is half damaged. There are no production construction drawings for levels 16, 17 and 18. There is no energy analysis diagram... "
"This is complete." Nick said in an erratic voice: "After the Great Plane Era, the R Plane didn't even have a base map. In order to repair the existing base, they used nearly half of the Neng Dun. To exchange with the T plane, if the Space and Time Administration had not helped them for some purpose, the current R plane must be a colonial plane of the T series planes. "
Huang Xuan gasped for breath at this time and said: "In other words, these things are very valuable?"
"It can only be used to exchange energy circles, not dollars." This is probably Nick's humor unit.
"Who said they should be exchanged?" Huang Xuan understands the importance of core resources better than anyone else. Since the R plane is willing to spend half of the Nengton, then this design drawing must be priceless - the so-called priceless means: not Someone may have offered the starting price, because its value is already much higher than the cost of a war.
After thinking about it, Huang Xuan asked stupidly: "Then how to put them away?"
"I will take it out and record it as a whole. Base maps have usage restrictions, and backups are no exception. If you need it, you can make a copy in the key."
"No need." Huang Xuangang said, then changed his words: "Give me the least valuable base map and put it in the key."
"Okay, level 4 signal relay base."
"What it is?"
"In large-scale wars, the transit bases used to communicate with various bases have only simple analysis and processing functions in addition to high-intensity information transmission functions."
Huang Xuan nodded with seeming understanding and said, "Let's do that. Let's see what we can find, and then we'll leave. By the way, can we build a new base now?"
"With the current state of the earth, it is impossible." Lorraine said honestly.
"Isn't it enough to have energy?"
"You want to start a production base based on atoms? In that case, I can help you calculate the total energy required."
Huang Xuan patted his forehead. He knew Einstein's formula. It must be a very shocking number. He immediately said: "Forget it, I don't want to know anymore."
"Okay then." Lorraine said calmly: "There is also a plane door that can be opened here. Do you want to try it?"
"What is a plane gate?" Huang Xuanke has never learned the basic knowledge of planes.
The biological light source flickered, and Huang Xuan could see an oval, slightly bright circle on the wall. Lorraine followed: "The plane door randomly opens a time and space segment of this series of planes. The range is narrow, maybe It’s for this reason that this traveler doesn’t want to leave.”
"How to say?"
"The lost traveler probably already knows that there is a desert of time and space nearby. After all, there are still human traces here. If he tries to pass through the plane door, no matter which plane he enters in the P series, except for P001, it will be impossible to return to him. world, and those who enter P001 are most likely to be killed.”
"You mean, P001 still exists?"
"At least it should be self-enclosed." Lorraine continued to explain: "After all the plane passages are completely closed, it is extremely difficult to open another plane passage. It is like the creation of the plane era. The same time."
It seems that P001 is not a threat. Huang Xuan knows that if Lorraine said it is very difficult and takes a long time, then it must be something that will make countless planes scratch their heads and last for tens or millions of standard years. He doesn't think he has it. The possibility of becoming one in a trillion.
Lorraine further explained: "The plane gate does not consume much energy, but it does not have a positioning function. In other words, the effect of using the plane gate to travel in time and space is not far different from that of directly using the current level 0 base for travel. "
"That means it's useless?"
The products of the plane era naturally have their uses. Lorraine immediately retorted: "The randomness of plane gates is not as random as that of base travel. Moreover, the place where plane gates arrive must be able to withstand relatively large fluctuations." If this is not the case, the plane gate cannot be established during the intense period of time.”
"From what you say, you seem to want me to come in?" A cold sweat broke out on the back of Huang Xuan's head.
At this moment, Nick said in a very flattering voice: "Master, if you can provide me with enough energy, Nick at the level 18 base can set you as the first authority owner, and you can become the only authority owner."
Thinking of the 15 billion yuan electricity bill, Huang Xuan's head went up, but the identity of the first authority holder was indeed tempting, at least he would call himself master. Speaking of which, Lorraine still has higher authority than him, and Nick's base is no exception.
"It's still a bit dangerous." Huang Xuan hesitated.
"No." Nick's voice made people feel insecure. Lorraine, on the other hand, added calmly: "In other planes, it would be more convenient to purchase energy supplements for Nick through the R plane."
This reminded Huang Xuan that he still had a billion energy circles, and couldn't help but ask: "How much electricity can I exchange for the energy circle in R001?"
"Each energy circle is equivalent to 0,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, which is equivalent to 400 billion kilowatt-hours of electrical energy. I only need 0.0 billion kilowatt-hours. Even if losses are included, the maximum is 40 billion kilowatt-hours. That makes a total of 0,000,000,000 kilowatt-hours. Just one of them.”
Huang Xuan didn't know much about the energy circle, so he felt that it was enough to use it. Nick urged: "Master, P11 is actually still in a low-energy state. If you want to exchange enough dollars here, you must continue to use it." It will be very bad if other travelers find out.”
"Don't you need to prepare anything?" Huang Xuan stalled for time.
"Just bring Dianwei. Instead of bringing things from P11, it's better to bring them from R001. Your level 16 key has the ability to strictly transmit creatures. There are many such things in the R plane." Nick was the most positive about this.
Huang Xuan sighed, raised his voice and shouted upward: "Dian Wei, come down."
Dian Wei jumped straight down without looking at the depth, probably thinking that since Huang Xuan couldn't fall, he would have no problem.
There was a burst of dust, and Huang Xuan was knocked into the plane door. Classmate Dian Wei is to a closed corridor, just like a piston is to a pump... (To be continued)
