I don't know if our deep dive plan is considered a complete success this time—in fact, we have achieved our original goal, conduct a deep dive, test the performance of the test model of the deep dive ship, and collect data from the deep area of the abyss for manufacturing The next more powerful deep-diving ship, obtaining more than two valid databases, and finally withdrawing from the test site safely-now these goals have been accomplished, but the unplanned situation is that we lose a test universe with good conditions.
This loss is not unbearable, and it has not affected the income of the entire deep dive plan, but when we think that it is the fallen apostles who made troubles, we feel like a thorn in our throats. Sandora is especially angry. She has sent three times her troops to guard the empire. Every abyss gate used for scientific research in the territory to prevent the fallen apostles from suddenly emerging from these gates, but other than that, she has no other way: the empire does not yet have the ability to form an army that can fight in the abyss domain fleet capabilities.
After getting rid of the abyssal power that may be contaminated on the body (this makes me feel like I just walked around from a severely plagued area), the three of us went to the Shadow City Command, where everyone is already waiting. In the officer's lounge, I saw Qianqian who was lazily lying on the sofa and moaning. She didn't have the consciousness of the mother of the empire. In such a serious military place, she blatantly blatantly Playing with a doll, the doll resisted very fiercely, in order to prevent Qianqian from continuing to put on her strange little clothes, she had fluttered all over the ground: well, the doll is the mercury lamp.
"Ah. Jun... eh..."
Seeing the few of us coming in, Qianqian's eyes lit up immediately, she was lying lazily on the sofa one second, and jumped up to rush into my arms the next second. It's a pity that just as she got up, her footsteps faltered, and she fell to the side unsteadily. The mercury lamp just got rid of the poisonous claws, before it could fly away, Qianqian subconsciously grabbed his ankle. They fell to the ground together, and the little puppet turned pale with fright. The wings on the back were flapping desperately, trying to fly, while blushing and begging me for help: "Help... help... it's so heavy... come and take care of your wife!"
I hurried forward to help Qianqian, and rescued Xiaodeng by the way. The puppet girl sat on my shoulder in shock, and after beating her, she flew into my sister's arms and glared at us, and smiled apologetically: "Aha, It seems that the legs are still a little soft..."
Always full of energy. Qianqian, who seems to have taken twenty catties of stimulants with chicken blood, now looks tired and even pale. I can feel that when she is leaning in my arms, she hardly exerts herself at all, and she is simply paralyzed. The thing on her body—well, where did this girl get the strength to toss the mercury lamp just now? Is bullying a girl a non-consumable skill
"What's your measure to make it like this?" I carefully helped the girl in my arms to lie down on the sofa, and the girl simply leaned on my lap and narrowed her eyes. It made it impossible for people to open their mouths to blame, "No injuries?"
I am very worried. What Qianqian did today is almost unprecedented. Using her own power to suppress an abyss gate that has run amok and out of control. Even a high-level true god has to weigh whether she can come out alive. Even Qianqian's special ability makes her competent enough for this almost impossible task. She also has to bear a lot of pressure and risk. Didn't the Abyss Gate hurt her when it collapsed
"It's okay," Qianqian completely ignored the gazes of the people around her, huddled in her lover's arms contentedly, and didn't even bother to open her eyes, "Ah Jun, have you forgotten? I am the master of time. No matter how fast it is, the smallest unit of time is fast. To me, it is just a series of still pictures. It pollutes - I have to create new time vortexes non-stop to make the abyss gate jump between two time points, aha, it's very interesting, this is my new trick, it's called exhausting you How about 3000? With two time points, a target can be repeated between the two time points. At the same time, I can also choose to let the target retain or not retain the self-change that occurs every time it is repeated, just like AB It's like repeating... Huh, this is the way I forced out when I suppressed that door... I'm a little sleepy... I'll sleep first... "
As he spoke, Qianqian's voice gradually sank, and was finally replaced by a slight grunt.
I couldn't react to this girl who was jumping up and down, so I could only raise my head awkwardly and smile at the people around me, but Bingtis nodded thoughtfully: "I found something, When she was with you, Qianqian never considered the surrounding environment, her world must be small, at most two and a half meters around you." What the hell is going on with this precise data!
"Probably that's it," my elder sister smiled softly, and poked my arm, "Perhaps for Qianqian, Ah Jun is almost her world. She would be thrown to our family to take care of her every now and then when she was a child." , I grew up with Ah Jun, and after a long time, I will form a habit, and when I am with Ah Jun, my nature will be revealed... "
"Ahem, let's talk about the Gate of the Abyss." I scratched my hair in embarrassment, thinking that my sister was quite embarrassed to mention these things, "and the fallen apostles. They appeared under our test site, This needs to be analyzed carefully.”
Sandora glanced enviously, and muttered: "Change the subject." Then she became serious, "Now I guess those spaceships are not a special case. The engineering team saw a total of three fallen apostles under the gate of the abyss." It is obviously a formation, including an armed warship, an auxiliary communication ship, and a spaceship for scientific research. The scientific research ship is unmanned. I don’t know what the other two ships are. It's not the same situation. At the same time, we don't know if there are other combinations of this kind of team. It seems that the mission of these three ships should be scientific research—this is my judgment. In most cases, a team If there is a unit that has no combat effectiveness and is specially used for scientific research, then the positioning of this team must be scientific research... "
"Why?" Lin Xue didn't react all of a sudden, and asked casually. Before Sandora could speak, Xiaoxue, who was sitting next to Lin Xue's shoulders, yelled, "Hey. Mom, think about it. I just heard that There is a president who takes two guards with him when he goes out. Who has heard of a guard who takes two presidents with him when he goes out..." The sharpness of this girl's speech is quite like her mother's.
Sandora nodded: "That's the reason. The military team will not bring a slow-moving scientific research ship—of course, sometimes we will bring field engineers. This situation is different."
Immediately I remembered that magical bearded man, I think he should be included in the military unit...
"If this is a scientific research team, then their configuration is obviously much better than ours: the fallen apostles have been able to create a variety of ships adapted to the abyss environment, and control them perfectly: the previous engineering team reported that the spacecraft they destroyed There is a ship equipped with a large number of high-power antenna arrays. That ship should be used to communicate with the mainland in the abyss. It may even be the prototype of some kind of fleet communication hub. The fallen apostles may form an abyss fleet, which is Very bad conjecture. Also, we should all remember one thing. The inside of the abyss is figured out - think of the abyss as a closed and dark spherical shell, the orderly world is located on the surface of the spherical shell, and the gate of the abyss is on the spherical shell Caves that appear by accident, as long as they master the technology of precise positioning and remote communication in the spherical shell, the fallen apostles have the ability to suddenly rush out of any hole and attack any world where they have the coordinates. It cannot be stopped in the middle, even if we know their plan - there is no technology to prevent the gate of the abyss from opening."
"Is there no technology to open the gate of the abyss?" My sister said suddenly. So the atmosphere sank.
Sandora is very dignified: "If the fallen apostles really master this technology, it would be too bad... They will truly become like the abyss, freely open the door in any world, destroy, plunder... I don't want to see to such a dire scene."
"Please allow my subordinates to express their opinions. Their technology should be very immature now," Sivis' voice came from the door. She was still dressed in the neat uniform of a senior officer, always shrewd and capable, "It may even be inferior to the current New Empire." Before we could ask about this astonishing judgment, she took the initiative to explain: "According to the report of the engineering team, the three enemy ships that appeared opposite the gate of the abyss, the size The performance and performance are inferior to the abyss workships made by the Empire, which are only at the level of light assault ships. This should not be a design requirement, but a technical limitation. The most obvious feature is that they need to hand over the communication of the spaceship team to a special antenna platform , a small spaceship without any offensive and defensive capabilities, carrying dozens of sets of high-power antenna towers to ensure the connection between the other two small ships and the base. Isn’t this design rather clumsy? In the abyss environment, the distance between ships Coordination is very difficult, as the distance increases by one point, the disturbance from the abyss will be increased several times, just like sailing in a storm, the boat may capsize at any time, and important units such as communication arrays may also be easily destroyed. The best choice should be It is to create warships that can withstand powerful storms, and store communications, weapons, and various auxiliary facilities in a highly secure environment. This is not pure giant ship doctrine, but common sense that should be possessed when resisting storms."
"So, the Fallen Apostles can't build larger abyss ships, what do you mean?" Sandora looked into Sivis's eyes, "Indeed, your analysis makes sense. I'm used to making things worse It seems that this time the idea is too bad."
"Necessary vigilance is still indispensable," Sivis said solemnly, "I have followed your order to deploy heavy troops near all the gates of the abyss in the territory. The newly generated gate of the abyss. Another reason why the subordinates made these judgments was the news from the research institute. Chief Tavel initially judged that the enemy ship samples brought back by His Majesty had a technical bottleneck, and it seemed that the fallen apostles had not yet Signs of breaking through this bottleneck... ”
Me: "... Is her efficiency too high?"
"You have to understand the enthusiasm of scientists." Sivis held back for a long time, and said, "Two hours are enough for Tavel to dismantle anything within a radius of one kilometer."
At this time, everyone should have breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that the fallen apostle did not rise suddenly as Sandora expected would undoubtedly give everyone a reassurance. However, Sandora's concerns still need to be taken seriously: as an experienced strategist, it is her habit to treat any problems with the worst expectations before they occur. Tavel found that the fallen apostles were trapped by a technical bottleneck. It does not mean that this technical bottleneck will exist forever. One day the Fallen Apostles will make a breakthrough, and at that time, maybe we will really face a team cruising in the abyss. The terrifying army that will rush out from the gate of the abyss at any time to attack the real world.
"We should focus more on the Deep Dive Project and its subsidiary projects," Sandora said with a frown. "At least I don't want the next time the fallen apostle breaks into our test site, but we don't know anything about it. At least we must be able to grasp the situation inside each abyss gate in the territory in real time. This task is given to scientific research Center, now our technology in this area is almost blank, I hope to see a solution as soon as possible, even if it is a concept."
"Your will." Sivis saluted immediately, and then retreated.
"It seems that the empire's side and the fallen apostle's technology tree in the abyss have taken two completely different paths," the sister said thoughtfully. "I just don't know whose path is more correct. Now it seems that the progress of the fallen apostles is a bit aggressive. Their abyss spaceship must have dived in their own land, but they can cruise all the way to the empire's territory, even in shallow areas. , This is also quite a test of technical strength. Our deep submersible ships and abyssal engineering ships do not have such a long endurance, but they are better in other aspects, and the volume can be designed to be larger. And the shield capacity seems to be higher?"
My sister is not an expert in this field, so I just casually talk about my thoughts at this time. No one really knows how the fallen apostles' abyss technology will develop, but as individuals who have been corrupted by the abyss, they are undoubtedly more unique in this respect than the empire. At least the technology that can sneak all the way from the fallen apostles to the empire's territory is It is very frightening.
I guess they are able to submerge in the abyss environment for so long. Mostly it's its special protective technology, that is, the effect of the abyssal fog that shrouds the spaceship. This layer of fog is obviously less expensive than the "three leather face shields" used by the imperial deep dive ship, and it does not conflict with the abyss environment. It can be said that the possibility of being attacked by the fog vortex in the abyss is fundamentally eliminated. , At the same time, the hull itself can be integrated with the abyss environment, which also greatly reduces the consumption of the spaceship when it is propelled. The movement speed of Erli Bridge is increased by one"...
The Fallen Apostle uses the fog of the abyss to provide the spaceship with abyss resistance. This method is wonderful, but it seems to have serious flaws: those spaceships do not seem to have strong protection against other forms of attack, or the Fallen Apostle has no such protection at all. Take precautions. The improvised bombs assembled by the bearded people blew up the two ships. At the same time, because it is fully integrated into the abyss environment, once the abyss spaceship of the fallen apostle is breached, it will immediately collapse completely, and it will be half-dead by its own abyss fog first. Ice Tees originally planned to break through a brick in the power unit of the spaceship, but directly smashed the entire spaceship, which is what we did not expect.
So whether this technology is of value to us, we can only wait for Tavel's analysis report.
The bearded man who judged decisively in this incident and solved a potential crisis (although it turned out that this crisis did not exist) was later credited. I think he is a talent, especially in military technology; the bearded man I also admitted that he is more interested in studying bombs and cannons than in studying the theory of the abyss, so I suggested to Tavel that this guy lead a new ordnance research team, and the research direction is all kinds of weapons in the abyss environment. Weapons that can still be used - this project does not sound difficult, because it is not difficult to destroy the target in the abyss environment, as evidenced by the brick of Bingtis, but in fact this is also a subject that needs to be tackled: the abyss environment Under such circumstances, all destructive behaviors become uncertain. Weapons can indeed achieve destructive effects, but this is completely uncontrollable. Conventional attacks are likely to be magnified ten times by the abyss environment. Okay, but it's more likely to fall on yourself-fire a cannon, and it's likely that you will be bombarded in half first. Don't think that you can sit back and relax with all kinds of shields against the abyss. Facts have proved that in an environment that does not follow common sense, any shield is not so reliable. The sudden loss of two escape towers of the engineering ship under normal circumstances is a clear proof. Later careful inspection proved that the escape towers of the engineering ship were not attacked by the fallen apostles when they disintegrated. They were jointly destroyed when the engineering ship threw a set of induction beacons. The process of throwing the decoy beacon required the destruction of two sets of one-time locking gates on the engineering ship, a process believed to have been influenced and amplified by the Abyss, resulting in the destruction of the engineering ship's escape tower.
How the abyss could still affect the escape tower of the engineering ship despite the shield, and even cause structural damage to the latter is a mystery that needs to be explained. We can be absolutely sure that the shield system of the engineering ship is effective, and it can operate normally in the abyss environment. This cannot be faked, but it definitely has unknown loopholes. Tavel has organized experts to re-examine the blueprints of the abyss barrier device, and compare these blueprints with the original deep-submersible ship prototype, hoping to find places that we have overlooked. This may be another task with a lot of work, Tavel I gave up my vacation again—a few days ago, I agreed with Sandora to let Tavel and the main scientific research personnel take a good rest for a few days after the end of the first phase of the Deep Dive Project, but the follow-up projects one after another, the fallen apostles The progress in the abyss field has made people press harder and harder, and this promise seems to have failed again.
Tavel herself doesn't care about it, she likes to work, and enjoys the joy of reaping the results after working tirelessly on difficult problems, but I always feel a little bit sorry.
I can only hope that the fallen apostles can calm down a little bit, and stop causing us trouble all day long... (To be continued..)
