Since entering the energy area of this huge platform, I have kept moving in a roughly upward direction, and now I have crossed two-thirds of the distance beyond recognition, and finally found a clue that may be related to the accident: a A seemingly inconspicuous hole in the compartment isolation gate.
This gate is an alternate exit leading to the connecting channel in the middle section. According to the platform structure diagram, there should be a huge vertical corridor behind it, which means that this gate is actually installed on the "ceiling", but the original platform There are independent gravity fields everywhere in the interior, but now there is no gravity field at all in this area, and it is of course meaningless to worry about whether a door is installed on the roof. I walked through the hole in the gate, and the view on the opposite side was not what I expected: the corridor had been torn into tatters, and the huge mechanical structure that was originally encapsulated could be directly seen through those tragic cracks. The equipment and pipe network soaked in the sea of psionic energy "burned" silently, and "lightning clusters" with a span of tens of meters continuously shot out from the nearest crystallized cables, licking my body In this place, energy sparks will continue to pass through the cracks in the corridor, thus forming a large network of flickering thunder in front. It looks scary, but luckily I can't kill Daoist Master—I fly forward as soon as I lean over, and those charging "electricity" nets don't hurt at all... a little itchy.
I was rummaging through the limited high-tech knowledge in my mind, and I instinctively felt that this place was not logical: theoretically, I had already left the explosion center, which is the former site of the Psionic Reactor, and the energy intensity should be getting higher and higher if I go further. The lower it is, but why the energy intensity here has increased instead
I suddenly remembered the "something wrong" that Sandora said before: the energy accumulated in the platform seemed to have a stable source of replenishment, and it dissipated very slowly. We thought at first that there was still a surviving psionic reactor in operation, but I just forgot about it after confirming that the former site of the reactor was empty. The situation around now suddenly reminded me of Sandora's words again, and I wondered if there was an abnormal energy source in front of me
Although I still remember the hole in the gate, solving the energy accumulation in this place is also a major priority. I followed the energy focus I felt and moved forward quickly. Finally, my luck was not cheated this time: I have advanced a hundred After coming to Mi and pushing away a collapsed metal plate, I saw that all the psionic lightning in front of me seemed to be in a condensed state like a vortex, and around this vortex was a blue light with a substantial concentration: psionic reaction The strongest place, the focus of energy accumulation in the platform, is in such an unreachable position
The direction of this vortex is intriguing. It is parallel to the corridor, that is to say, it is perpendicular to the entire platform. I faced its center and saw a twisting and rotating pipe. I suddenly realized that this is actually a psionic tornado. . The shape of this "tornado" makes one can't help but think of a high-speed rotating warhead, which was shot vertically into the control center from directly below the platform, pierced through four layers of armor and two sets of shields, and then flew past this place at unabated speed. Corridor, and it also left such an energy vortex in the air—isn't this the "ballistic" I was looking for? !
Surprisingly, I approached the huge "tornado", and found that the end of the corridor had been shredded by it, and the alloy floor under my feet protruded a long way in midair, like a suspension bridge; the surrounding area was empty, only countless huge blue The colorful "lightning" and the torrent of psionic energy converged towards the vortex like streamers dancing in the strong wind. This scene was just like hell!
And on the opposite side of the vortex is the energy center shield: that thing is the last physical barrier between the lower area and the buffer unit, and you can join Sandora by passing through the giant dome. Dang dong, the strength of the shield is quite high, it doesn't look too badly damaged, maybe the shock wave of the explosion has weakened here.
"We have to stop this 'tornado' first." I was talking to myself, while observing what kind of special structure the destructive energy vortex had to allow it to continuously generate psionic energy. This inexplicable energy focus in front of me has brought huge troubles to all work. Although it may be an important "ballistic clue", since I have seen the direction it indicates, the value of this clue is naturally useless. Solve it early and save trouble.
I quickly discovered the unusualness of this vortex, but this "unusualness" is a bit baffling: its inner wall is covered with very fine cracks - void cracks.
Those thin and small black cracks look like crooked thin lines, they are strangely still on the inner wall of the psionic vortex, no matter how stormy it is outside, they will not move, the contrast between extreme movement and extreme stillness is as strong as a It's an absurd movie, but it's from these thin lines that the constant psionic energy leaks out: no matter how subtle they look, they really create two super huge psionic energy fields inside this huge space structure that is several kilometers on each side .
With the innate ability of void creatures, I can see at a glance that these cracks are the "wounds" leading to the endless void in the real world, but with my little scientific and technological knowledge, I can't understand what is the psionic energy released by it, so I can only contact Sandora: "Girl, I found a phenomenon that is very difficult to understand-by the way, have you sharpened your claws?"
Sandora seemed to be choked for a while, and she answered awkwardly after a while: "Oh... it's finished... Ah Jun, what did you find?"
"A vortex should be the source of psionic energy in this place, but I can't understand how it generates energy. There are one, two, three, four in this vortex... Anyway, there are many void cracks like pencil paths, chrysanthemums... sunflower-shaped Arrangement..." I described the scene I saw in detail, "The energy comes out of these cracks. It's the first time I saw the void cracks release psionic energy instead of void power. This thing is amazing. "
Sandora was silent for a moment: "Isn't that the gut of the Psionic Reactor?"
me?"
"It is the most central part of the reaction core. The inner tank of the psionic reactor is this structure, but what you see is only the inner tank part. Its most important decay components should still be in the different space. Those decay components make the void crack Release psionic energy... Let me think about it, you are close to the original output end of the psionic reactor, so the original coordinates of the energy output are near you. If there is a serious space tear in the local area, there is indeed a certain chance that the reactor The inner liner of the reactor was exposed to the real world. It seems that the power of this explosion is really great. Not only did it penetrate the control center, but it also pushed the reactor body that was originally in the void into the real world... "
"No..." I replied slowly, "I'm afraid it wasn't caused by the explosion... Well, forget about it, it's okay if I just shut this thing off? It's the abnormal energy focus here."
"If you directly block the gap in the void, you can stop the operation of the reactor, but the part of it in the void will definitely collapse... Well, turn it off, these reactors cannot be recovered anyway."
I let out a cry, and closed those void fissures that continuously released powerful energy. This huge vortex in dynamic balance suddenly became unstable after losing its core power, and its internal rotation slowly stopped, while the external horizontal The psionic sparks that spanned hundreds of meters began to jump irregularly. Sandora suddenly remembered something at this time, and hurriedly reminded: "By the way, Ah Jun, there may be a shock wave if the guts shut down in an emergency. Well first..."
I stuck my whole body on the alloy beam behind me, feeling that I was embedded in at least one-third of the depth, and it took me a while to pull my head out: "You are too late, I was just blown away."
"Why are your hands so fast!"
Me: "Void creature instincts, seeing those cracks is like seeing relatives, touch them and they will all be closed."
Sandora ignored this side, so I had no choice but to float forward in embarrassment. Now the energy storm blocking the way has subsided, and the surrounding psionic energy concentration is rapidly decreasing at a speed that can be clearly perceived, but the energy accumulated in the surrounding crystallized pipe network and the charged metal plates will not change for a while. will disappear, and the blue light they emit keeps the place from getting dark anytime soon. The corridor shredded by the energy storm was empty in front of it, and a hundred meters ahead was the only remnant left at the other end of the corridor: it was like a piece of burnt chewing gum, clinging to the alloy protective cover.
It should be the "bullet" that hit the platform tore open the space here, causing the psionic reactor liner to be exposed to the real world—this is the most likely judgment that can be made based on the current situation.
According to the direction of the "tornado" just now, I stuck to the protective cover and carefully looked for the trace of the breakdown. It should be within a circular area of no more than ten meters around the end of the corridor. This search didn't take much effort, the hole that was penetrated was very conspicuous, and I saw it almost at a glance.
really! When the explosion happened, the control center platform was penetrated by something foreign!
Could it have rushed out from the gate of the abyss? It is still unknown, but I guess Tavel will jump up excitedly when he knows the news. The research value of this discovery is beyond doubt. And I marked the first breakdown point and the breakdown point in front of me according to the simple rule of two points and one line, and then the data terminal marked the possible landing point of "that thing" on the navigation map .
Through the hole on the protective cover, I have officially left the lower area, and in front of me is a large continuous metal module structure. Those metal modules have been damaged in many places, exposing the crystal grid below which exudes a dim blue light, and in the distance, it can be seen that this structure is no longer complete, it should have been destroyed by a big explosion—this is the control center’s The energy release buffer unit, which is placed between the energy display group on the lower level and the equipment group on the upper level, is an ultimate protector, but now this protector is also overloaded and destroyed.
The target point displayed on the data terminal is tens of meters ahead, and now I can see it.
It's pretty obvious there's a black hole there, and there's some traces of melt around the hole: it's another breakdown. But this time the terrifying "bullet" was finally stopped, it was imprisoned in the melted crystal grid, like a small insect falling into the resin, it turned into a piece of blue "amber", I leaned forward , Seeing the culprit wrapped in a piece of crystal, he was dumbfounded.
It was a black man-made object with a luster between metal and plastic on the surface. Although it was a little damaged, it could still be judged at a glance that it used to have a smooth and round shell. This artificial object is not very big, only about a few meters long, slender as a shuttle. Two ring-shaped grooves can be seen at both ends, and faint but regular red light glows in the grooves. In addition, the surface of this black shuttle can not find any lighting and identification.
The shape of this thing is so familiar—isn't this the "black shuttle" we found from the Protoss site back then!
The black shuttle, which is inextricably linked with the gate of the abyss, is suspected to be a detector or envoy machine from the "other civilization", with unanalyzable components and unanalyzable principles, and its technology that can safely cross the abyss is also currently The empire is still unable to resolve, we have already captured a black shuttle, and the one in front of us is the second one.
It was it that broke through the energy group of the deep submersible port control center and caused this catastrophic accident.
"Sandora, I have made a major discovery, a major discovery beyond NB..." I called Sandora in the spiritual connection, and the latter's voice responded immediately: "I also have a super major discovery here-I have seen you gone."
Following the telepathy, I saw the figure of Sandora approaching from a distance. In the blink of an eye, Her Majesty the Queen had come to me. Her expression was very dignified. It seemed that she had found some Something that subverts the three views.
"Look at this first," I pouted to the side, "Hei Shuo, the civilization on the other side has launched a probe again, but this time the protective layer on the outside of the Hei Shuo didn't seem to last, and it even blew up our space station. so."
Sandora obviously didn't expect to see such a thing here, she was stunned for a while, and then contacted Tavel: "Tavier, the energy field below has been weakened, you can let the people from the working group come down later. In addition— Get your lab ready, we've found something amazing."
"Find a way to get it out first," I leaned over to observe the black detector that was embedded in the crystal like a fruit sandwich. Its shell was damaged a lot, but it didn't seem to hurt the root, I still remember The black shuttle I got before couldn’t be opened at all, and there was something inside that was suspected to be a self-destruct device, which made people troublesome, but now that the shell has become like this, it didn’t explode, maybe the self-destruct device is malfunctioning, " Sandora, use your claws... "
In fact, I wanted to say that Sandora used the psionic saber and her superb cutting skills, but when it came to her mouth, she used her claws: this is because Her Majesty's claws have been in high demand just now. what
Of course Sandora didn't think so much, she did what I said, black mist rose around Her Majesty, and then her right hand had turned into a sharp and terrifying abyssal claw, she flew over to the nearby metal Rub your fingertips on the board to familiarize yourself with the feel, and then puff (the place is vacuum, puff is a figurative term) and insert your finger pricks deep into the seemingly solid crystal, and then the phantom energy sparks everywhere Splashing crystal debris, Sandora's sharp claws are simply sharper than ordinary sabers—although the shape of the finger stab is not a blade, it burns the flames of the abyss, and Sandora has some original skills, this digging In terms of efficiency, I think that only those who graduated from Lan Xiang Advanced Excavator with full marks can be worthy of a battle. Soon she hollowed out all the surrounding crystals, and carefully peeled off the black shuttle with the outer layer of crystal shell: Carrying the shell is to ensure safety, let Tavel lead her group of experts who professionally disassemble things to beat slowly when you go back.
I put Hei Shuo into my portable space, and then I suddenly remembered that Sandora also made a major discovery: "By the way, what did you say you found in the computer room?"
Sandora's face darkened, and I knew that this matter was of great importance. She first asked a question: "Ah Jun, do you think such a small detector can penetrate four layers of armor and two sets of shields all the way?" ?”
I was stunned, and realized this time: This is a huge doubt!
How much firepower does it take to penetrate four layers of armor and two sets of psionic shields? Among other things, this working platform is built next to the gate of the abyss, and the protection system it uses is simply outrageously strong. The armor plate of the Royal Fleet is probably comparable to the building materials here, and what about the black shuttle? ? It's just a detector.
We already have a black shuttle on hand. Of course, we know the general level of the "civilization on the other side". Their technical strength may be stronger than the current New Empire, but it is not much worse. Although the detector they made can navigate in the abyss The unbelievable distance is just that its "deep diving technology" is relatively high-end. In terms of structural strength...
Although this thing is strong, it definitely can't reach the point of breaking through so many barriers, and it doesn't have such a strong power, right
Sandora saw that I had found the key to the problem, so she nodded: "Seeing this black shuttle, I want to understand a lot of things. If it is something else that I have never seen before, maybe I will still suspect our enemy Some kind of super weapon has been researched, but it is well known that this detector weighs a few pounds. If it hits the control center with normal protection, let alone penetrates, it will be burned on the first layer of shield into ashes."
I heard a key word: protection is normal.
"The protection of the control center was abnormal for a moment," Sandora said solemnly, "Just now I found a device in the main computer room that has not been completely scrapped, and there is a system log of the bottom layer of the large platform on it. Before the explosion, it suddenly and automatically closed the shield, and depressurized all the charged armor!" RS
