In the completely blocked No. 22 space, the comprehensive analysis laboratory is like an isolated island floating in the distorted space. All communication channels directly connected to this laboratory have been cut off, even the most powerful trans-void The communication array and the abyss communication system, which is still in the experimental stage, we have reason to believe that the shielding effect of this space on the black shuttle is even better than throwing it into a world deep in the void. But even so, I can't be 100% sure that Heisuo has been completely blocked. This thing is too weird and mysterious, and it has reached the point where even the best scientists in the empire can't figure it out for a while, so any precautions against it are very necessary.
The scientist in charge of analyzing and researching the black shuttle, whose name is Victor or Tovik, ordered to open the blocking optical network around the black shuttle after confirming that the space had stabilized. Sandora and I came to the side of the black shuttle and listened. Experts report on their current progress.
"...We are still not sure what the energy used by the black shuttle is. According to the guesswork of the expert group, I am afraid that this problem is unsolvable. The energy it uses should only be produced under the special environment at the bottom of the abyss and can be used stably. In our world of order, this kind of energy is being consumed faster and faster, and there is no sign of it being replenished. Perhaps in the world of order, Heisuo is completely unable to replenish energy for himself. This is an irreversible 'regional isolation' ', the world that the black shuttle comes from is completely different from the world of order in every rule." The senior technician turned on the holographic projection, and what was displayed above was a set of rough scans. Scanning as deeply as possible, this position, near the center but slightly off, should be its energy core, and all the functions of the black shuttle are extracting energy from this core. This is an energy storage device rather than energy generation device, the readings inside it are decreasing every moment, and no active activation of this core has been detected. It seems that the creators of the Black Shuttle have realized that their detectors are not adequate in the world of order. Can, so first designed a 'battery' with huge capacity for it."
"Oh, it's good news." Sandora's tone rose. "This shows that 'they' cannot use the resources of the world of order. If 'they' come out of the abyss, they probably won't last long: our home field advantage is extremely obvious."
No matter what it is, it is Sandora's style to think of the bad first. She has already regarded the foggy Fourth Civilization as a potential enemy, so the starting point is once the two sides start a war, how much can the comparison of victory and defeat be. Of course, I think this kind of consideration is also very necessary. The other party has spent so many tens of thousands of years building a bridge, and the manpower, material resources and productivity consumed are probably enough for low-level civilizations to go bankrupt several trillion times. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that they built this bridge. The purpose of building a bridge cannot be to organize and lead outings and develop new sightseeing projects—the other side either came here to stir up trouble with the empire for the purpose of bilateral friendly cooperation and development, and the ultimate goal is to create a new situation of void unity, or The purpose of going to war with the empire is to stabilize you first and then kill you. In the end... In the end, I am afraid that we will create a new situation of Void Unification.
No matter how you look at it, there is no third possibility. For such a large project, if you don’t have an earth-shattering guiding ideology to encourage yourself, who would dare to get on the horse, right
"We have now confirmed that the black shuttle is a detector, and probably found its information-collecting components and something suspected of storage." The senior technician paused, and brought up several new screens. On these screens, the black shuttle The red halo areas at both ends of the shuttle and several small squares distributed along the axis are highlighted, "We thought at first that the two red halos were some kind of driving device for the probe to move during emergency escape, but this conjecture Overturned: The black shuttle is only the core component of the detector system. Although it can be regarded as a complete detector itself, it is still only a part. There is no separate engine on this part. These two halos are a certain This kind of radar collects intelligence by intercepting discontinuous information interlayers, and preliminarily judges that the scanning accuracy and sensing frequency range are... "
Well, it was finally time when I couldn't understand at all, so the scene was handed over to Sandora decisively, and I focused on the quietly rotating black detector. Just like when I first found it, Heisuo remained silent, as introverted as its appearance, unwilling to reveal any information. The danger test for this thing had ended the day before yesterday, so I boldly pressed my hand on its outer shell, feeling a little cool in my hand, and there was a faint vibration, maybe some kind of mechanism inside was running
How should I make this hard lump of iron respond to me
I thought of Jin Yong, I thought of Hollywood, I thought of Starting Point and Shanda, I thought of Alibaba and the Forty Huā Robbers, I even thought of Magellan and Einstein, but none of the above-mentioned great powers told me how to establish a relationship with a mallet. Emotions, there is only one person in my impression who can give me some reference, and that is a FedEx workaholic named Chuck, but the problem is that Chuck is facing a volleyball, and I am facing a football—and Chuck The volleyball is definitely not three and a half meters long.
So I decided that I couldn't find anything that could give me a hint from the known history.
And while I was thinking so wildly, I was also doing various experiments. Although scientists have tried to stimulate it with broad-spectrum communication frequencies and various forms of physical contact before, and failed to make the latter respond, I think I may be the breakthrough point: After all, the black shuttle is essentially a For your own courier, maybe it will be surprisingly good at talking after detecting the recipient's name again? Anyway, the ball that wrapped it before was pretty easy to talk about.
I tried a lot of methods, such as scanning the target with my own mental power, pressing my hands on the surface of the target and silently reciting the rubbing method of the wave fist of killing intent, making faces at the black shuttle, talking to it that raising a bad boy is like raising a group of bad children Reason, typing Morse code on the shell of the target, and finally I took a bite on my finger, trying to see if this thing can recognize the owner after dripping blood-the conclusion is quite painful.
"Ah Jun... what are you doing?" A sudden voice in my ear interrupted my self-entertainment. I turned my head and found that Sandora was staring at this side dumbfounded. Behind her, the same A circle of stunned scientists.
Me: "..." If I said that I was engaged in scientific research, do you think these scientists would jump into the reactor collectively
"I want to try to see if there is any reaction to this thing." I pressed one hand on the end of the black shuttle, while raising the finger that just bit a small hole.
Sandora turned her head away: "Let's continue talking about the dismantling process."
"Uh, dismantling process?" I finally heard something that seemed like I could interrupt, and quickly jumped off the platform. "Victor, do you already know how to disassemble this thing?"
The senior technician was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty... your name is Tokewei."
I felt very sorry, because I didn’t seem to find the right person’s name after going back and forth for a long time, so I laughed dryly: “Oh, hehe, I’m not very sensitive to names. How did Shuo's self-destruct mechanism turn off?"
The corner of the senior technician's mouth was a little stiff: "Your Majesty, the name of this subordinate... Well, the relevant research has only made preliminary progress, because the self-destruct device used by the black shuttle is also driven by unknown energy, so our conventional interference methods and energy Suppressive methods are not very effective, only energy skimmers that use your power to work can have a certain effect. Recently we are adjusting the output mode of energy skimmers to make it work better. In addition, we also found It is even more good news if it is confirmed that the function of this component is correct, and there is no need to use an energy-stealing device, just use a rapid and precise psionic bombardment to make those processing groups Overload, the self-destruct device will be completely scrapped. Both of the above solutions will be able to achieve results quickly."
Both Sandora and I are satisfied with this news: this should be the only happy thing we have heard since we came here. Then Sandora mentioned another question worthy of attention: "Have you found the secret of this probe's long-term survival in the abyss environment?"
The senior technician thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "It can be said that in a certain way.
According to the known situation, the black shuttle is only the core part of a large detector, which is protected by a spherical shell when it arrives in our world of order, so the black shuttle itself should not be in direct contact with the abyss in design , so we guess there is no way to derive 'their' technology on the outer shield of the deep diving ship from this thing, but we found a design structure similar to the core protection, which is used to ensure the core safety during the long-term deep dive . This is a structure that was just scanned by automatic equipment in the early hours of this morning, so it has not been reported in the future... "
"That's what is urgently needed now!" Sandora's voice rose suddenly, and her eyes lit up. "Core protection? Are you sure there is core protection technology in Heisho?"
"Theoretically speaking, this is a must." It is no loss that Tavel has cultivated the ace assistant. This dark-skinned uncle also said "theoretically" "The abyss is of a special nature, no matter the outer protection it faces is strong To any extent, it can directly or indirectly affect the core, so there must be a more powerful and efficient adjustment system near the core of the deep-diving device to counteract this effect, so as to prevent the physical structure of the deep-diving device. In this case, the unfortunate situation that the system actively self-destructs occurs. We found two ellipsoidal structures at the two poles of the black shuttle, that is, the pointed cone part of the halo, which do not look like the structure of any part of the black shuttle. Belonging to one system, and occupying a single energy supply line, these two ellipsoids were the first to activate after touching the abyss stimulus we simulated, and quickly formed on the black shuttle... another black shuttle."
"Another black shuttle?" I frowned, nodded after pondering for a while, "Vitok, you'd better explain it clearly, why can't I understand..."
"Your Majesty, your name is Tuokewei..." the senior technician said blankly, then shook his head, "We are still not sure what the working principle of the device is, but every step of their working process has been observed Arrived: Those two strange devices work in pairs, one of them is responsible for creating information images, from the data characteristics, this information image is 100% similar to Hei Shuo, while the other device generates information images while generating information images. The shuttle is anti-phased, in this way, on the same coordinate, the information mirror replaces the position and 'existence' of the black shuttle, and becomes a [real] real individual, and after a very short delay, this mirror image will be replaced by the abyss Pollution, because it is completely based on data description, and its stability is weaker than that of entities, so it is infected very quickly, and its nature will change within a few seconds. At this time, the black shuttle releases the anti-phasing and starts to create new mirror images , In this way, the whole process goes round and round, and the mirror image is always replacing the main body to bear most of the pollution."
"During this process, Heisuo should still be affected to a certain extent." Sandora heard some clues.
"Yes, but it will only touch the abyss at the moment of creating a new mirror, because this system does not allow two or more mirrors to be created at the same time: plural 'compensators' will destroy the entire 'compensation' In addition, it takes time for the pair of devices to create mirror images, so the two mirror images cannot be seamlessly connected. In the short period of time when the old and new 'compensators' are replaced, the black shuttle body will still be exposed to pollution, but Generally speaking, during the entire deep dive process, the time for the core of the system to be in contact with pollution sources has been reduced by more than 90%, and the working life of the entire detector and even the deep dive vessel has been greatly extended."
"Very well, this process sounds feasible, and we really didn't think about it," Sandora said, "Can it be replicated?"
"I'm afraid it's impossible to use psionic equipment to copy the equipment in Hei Suo as it is. Although the energy used by psionic energy and Hei Suo has the same 'level' in theory, the two work in completely different ways." The senior technician regretted Shaking his head, "It can only be said that its core protection method gave us an idea, let us know that a certain method is feasible, but how to realize this process, we need to organize a research and development team and use imperial technology to manufacture facilities with the same function. Information Mirroring technology is not complicated. The difficulty is that this system must be accurate enough and respond quickly. It must be independent from other systems of the deep-diving ship and cannot use public data links, so all instructions must rely on its own micro-host and transmission. It also needs to complete a large amount of calculations at the moment the pollution starts, and then create the mirror image. We are preparing to apply for several Xiling hosts to assist in the research and development, and they should be able to find a more suitable and efficient algorithm."
"Okay, the application is approved." Sandora waved her hand, "I don't need to know how many technical difficulties there are, that is your task. Now the priority of this project is S, and all the support you applied for will be in place immediately to solve all technical problems ,This is an order."
The senior technician immediately straightened his body and hit his chest with his fist: "Yes! Your will!"
The matter with Hei Shuo came to an end. Sandora and I were about to leave together. Before leaving, I looked back at the slowly rotating shuttle quietly hanging on the weightless platform. I wondered if it was my own wishful thinking. Illusion, it seems to be able to sense my existence, but it does not want to have any reaction... Well, this is of course an illusion, because apart from my own nonsense, Heisuo is still Heisuo, silent .
One day, I'll let you talk.
"Ah, I finally feel better."
After coming out of the research center, Sandora's face, which had been strained all morning, finally relaxed, with the kind of clean smile I was familiar with that would only be shown in front of people close to me, "I was right at the time." , The breakthrough point of deep diving technology was finally found on that mysterious detector. Tavel will probably be very happy."
"I think she will be hurt very much." I thought for a while, and made a judgment based on the personality of the girl with glasses. If the scientific and technological achievements are solved, it should be hit hard."
"Oh? She still has this personality?" Sandora glanced at me, "You know that research madman quite well—it is said that because of workaholics, Tavel's social circle is incredibly narrow. I didn't expect someone to know so well. she."
I giggled, thinking that Sandora might have forgotten the appearance of a female college student when Tavel was on vacation last time. Everyone will have their own unknown side, especially those guys who usually seem mysterious and difficult to touch. Once you see their other side, the world view may even be reshaped: until the third grade of elementary school, I always I thought the teacher knew everything, and then our homeroom teacher asked for a week of sick leave after eating sprouted potatoes, and I didn’t know that they also had that kind of time...
With a slightly happy mood, Sandora and I ate some street food and street food stalls outside, and we went home after filling our stomachs. As soon as we arrived in the living room, I found that something that I liked and heard might have happened again.
The little crow was sitting obediently on the sofa with her head lowered. On the coffee table in front of her was a miniature crow that was holding a root of green vegetables and eating, but the head of this miniature crow was not an eggshell. Rather... something that looks like an eggshell but has a subtle texture.
When my elder sister saw me coming in, she pointed to the little creature on the coffee table: "Our silly bird has made another contribution—she hatched it with a ping-pong ball."
