Sandora and I came to Tavel's research institute soon, and Harlan was here as expected: As an expert with a deep understanding in the abyss field, Harlan is now one of the leaders of the deep dive project.
Tavel was not polite to us either, and cut straight to the point as soon as we met: "The Deep Diving Port just sent another confirmation message. There are indeed a large number of wreckages under the gate of the abyss, and these wreckages are slowly moving to the real world. The exact number is unknown, and the interference is too strong."
"From the other side?" Sandora looked into Tavel's eyes and asked a question that everyone present was concerned about.
"We can't be sure for the time being, we don't have the technology to track drifting objects in the abyss, and to be honest, it's already impossible for wreckage to appear in the abyss," Tavel shook his head, "Any orderly matter will quickly crack in the abyss environment Collapse, its dissipation speed is even faster than in the void. If something like a deep dive ship encounters a failure such as a shield shutdown in the abyss, it will be decomposed in about ten minutes, and it is impossible to leave wreckage. It is even more impossible to 'drift' for a certain distance, the subordinates think those wreckages are very weird and have too many doubts."
I turned to look at Harlan: "Have you taken any measures now?"
"Temporarily monitoring and blocking the deep diving port," Harlan spread his hands, "I originally planned to salvage them to have a look, but suddenly remembered that the fallen apostles have already studied the technology of deep diving, and they are capable of Those who sail in the shallow abyss area, if these wrecks are traps made by them, it will be a big trouble to salvage them."
Harlan's words made me wake up from the excited state in an instant. I stroked my hair and said to myself that thanks to the old villain in front of me... he is thoughtful and has spent a long time in the camp of the fallen apostles. What he is worried about may really happen.
"But we can't just leave it alone," Sandora thought for a while and then made a plan, "Sooner or later, we have to salvage those things to have a look, if they are really from the other side and we miss them, it will be a big loss. It is estimated that they will not be able to last long in the abyss. Let’s go to the deep diving port to sit in person, and Ah Jun will go to support the audience. If it is really something brought by the fallen apostles, it will be purified on the spot—no matter how powerful they are I can't resist Ah Jun's prodigal son turning around..."
I quickly covered Sandora's mouth: "I don't need to say the name of that stupid skill!"
Tavel nodded expressionlessly: "Then, this subordinate will go to prepare the shuttle. According to the state of the wreckage, they can last for a long time. Your Majesty, don't worry."
After Tavel left the field for a while, I turned to Harlan: "Say you want to follow? You are an expert."
"Of course I have to go and have a look," Harlan smiled. "If it's from the other side, it's okay. If it's really from the abyss area... It just happens to be an 'old friend' from the past. Don't rob me when the time comes." , I haven't moved my hands and feet much since I switched camps."
I was speechless for a while, and said to my heart that it is really worthy of being produced by Xiling. Uncle Harlan, who usually looks mature, stable and reliable in the form of a big brother, is indeed an explosive like Pandora in his bones. Looking at the fighting spirit in the other party's eyes, it seems that he is using nitration. Glycerin grown in soilless cultivation…
Soon Tavel got everything ready, and a few of us boarded the shuttle to the deep dive port, but Tavel himself didn't board the boat with us, because she already had seven or eight mass projections on the target. waiting. This ubiquitous schizophrenic glasses girl can travel across the entire territory of the empire in an instant, high-level precision, you deserve it-what a mess...
Due to safety considerations, the Deep Submersible Port has special security measures. There is no way to jump directly through the gate of the world, so you can only go there by a high-speed shuttle, which is delayed for more than two hours. But Tavier is right: those wreckages are in good condition, and they can last for a long time in the abyss environment by visual inspection. Slowly approaching the world of order, I don't care about the floods in the world, and I have nothing to do with the gate once it is closed.
The deep diving port is still the same. A lonely abyss gate is floating in space, and countless suppression towers are around to control its activities. A control platform and various auxiliary facilities for monitoring the port have been built at the critical point of the abyss gate. . The only thing that is different from the last time we came is that there are many more space buildings here: some of them are laboratories, which are used to carry out several new special researches. These researches require a very large-scale abyss environment, and we can’t always Moved this environment to Shadow City, so Tavel built many such laboratories near the deep dive port, and now their scale seems to be almost a dense asteroid belt. The remaining new buildings are mainly shield broadcast towers and monitoring and control facilities: since the control platform of the deep dive port was destroyed by the "black shuttle" last time, Tavel has paid special attention to improving the security level of the port site, although we don't know These shield broadcast towers and monitoring and control points are very effective against things like "Black Shuttle", but it is better than nothing.
The shuttle landed smoothly on the upper mooring port of the control platform, and we met Tavel (mass projection) who had been waiting here for a long time. Ready."
The corner of my mouth twitched: "Eh... we meet again. It's very convenient that you are everywhere."
"Actually, Your Majesty can also consider making a quality projection," Tavel's unknown number of quality projections suggested earnestly, "Your Majesty can specially design a quality projection that suits your daily senses, so that Your Majesty can handle some things that need to be run around. It is also more convenient. Are Your Majesty Sandora and Harlan interested in this? Your subordinates can join together... "
"No!" The three of us said in unison, and then I looked at Harlan and Sandora curiously, "Why don't you like this? I don't have the habit of schizophrenia, but you seem to be able to manipulate the body with multiple threads Bar?"
Harlan shook his head cheerfully: "My multi-threading is specialized in combat, you can give me one or two thousand more floating cannons, but it's really useless to have a few more bodies, and I don't often On a business trip."
Sandora also shook her head: "I can control the quality projection and I have used this before, but I don't like it personally. There will be a sense of misalignment in releasing the power of the soul grabber through the quality projection. After all, this is the R&D personnel The skills used are not suitable for a combat system like ours. And..." Sandora said here and glanced at me, "And if I stand in front of you in seven or eight, no matter which one you kiss, I will be snatched by myself Husband’s illusion, and you have to think about what to do if Qianqian is interested in this matter, her mind is already crowded with unlimited ideas, if it really wants to split into quality projections, I guarantee she can come up with ten Tens of thousands of selves with different personalities... "
I didn't dare to continue to think deeply on this topic: it seems that I have almost explored to the height of lun theory!
In the center of the control platform is the largest laboratory in the deep diving port. This large building occupies an area... well, I don’t know how many, but it’s quite a large building. It’s directly connected to the high-sensitivity signal towers around the control platform, and these signal towers are also connected to the gate of the abyss. The surrounding suppression towers and several unmanned observation stations inside the gate, through a complex information forwarding path, we can safely observe the movement inside the gate of the abyss. Last time we took back the advanced communicator made in the Fifteen Sky Zone during the old empire from the Melovas. Tavel and Aurelia have reverse engineered that communicator and applied its principles to various deep In terms of diving facilities, it is much easier to understand the situation inside the gate outside the gate of the abyss than before, and the "scene" you see is much clearer than before.
In the largest observation center of the Central Laboratory, Tavel pointed to a set of pictures on the holographic projection: "Those are the wreckage."
I looked at the holographic image in front of me. This image is a direct observation image from the observation station located inside the gate of the abyss. Those observation stations have a short lifespan, but they can send back clear enough and first-hand information within working hours , it's an amazing technological advancement - although I've never understood all the technological advancements.
There is only a dark patch in most parts of the image. The most conspicuous thing that can be seen in this dark background is the erratic cloud clusters. These cloud clusters continue to emerge and disappear. The puzzling "shock phenomenon". And between these clouds is what Tavel called the "wreckage". It took me a long time to distinguish the shape of those things: it seemed to be some scattered fragments of different shapes and sizes.
No wonder it can be concluded that they are wreckage. Judging from the shape, it must be the appearance of something big after it was broken.
In the abyss environment, you cannot directly observe anything, because all observations are based on "order", and you must have at least "measurement" and "data" before you can describe whether something exists or not, and its existence. What is the appearance of existence, volume can be used to describe objects, temperature can be used to describe hot and cold, distance and coordinates can be used to describe position—and these ordered data are all chaotic in the abyss, so observations in the abyss environment usually The method is "indirect comparison", scanning a certain area with information-sensitive radar, and then scanning a second time after a short period of time, overlapping the results of the two scans, removing duplicate data, and the remaining "anti-white" part is the abyss Picture (this picture is only theoretical, there is no entity in the real abyss). Even special existences like me and Sandora use the same method to "see" things after entering the gate of the abyss, except that our observation medium has changed from radar signals to spirit and will. So much to say here, I just want to mention one thing - if under normal circumstances, everything we see in the abyss should be just a blurry silhouette, and yet the wreckage is solid and can distinguish the details" real thing"!
It is as clear as the naked eye directly observed, and even has color!
If you don't consider that it is just a pile of debris, this scene is not impossible-if it is a normal deep submersible ship, then because it maintains a similar environment like a field of order, this environment is self-explanatory. The method guarantees its own order, and it can naturally be directly observed as it is now, but those things are obviously just a pile of fragments, there is no shield around them, no triple refreshing protective layer, and even no energy reaction, then It's just a pile of lifeless fragments of matter. How did they stay in this state
At this time, the system broadcast in the laboratory interrupted my thoughts: "The self-inspection of the deep-diving ship is completed, and the dive will start in fifteen minutes."
Sandora touched my arm, and then I remembered that I came here to serve as a safety lock. At present, the large and small fragments do not seem to be made by the fallen apostles, but just in case Do some good preparation. I rubbed my chin for a while, and decided resolutely: "I'll dive too. It should be safer to open the protective layer from the inside."
"Are you sure?" Sandora suddenly looked over in surprise, "The same goes for opening a barrier outside, deep diving is prone to accidents."
"It's okay," I smiled nonchalantly, "The ancestors are all on the deep diving boat, and they are not afraid of accidents. I am not afraid of accidents in my immortal body. Tavel, it's okay to temporarily add someone to the deep diving boat, right?" ?”
"No problem," Tavel (mass projection) replied immediately, and then she turned her head after a few instructions to her assistant, "It's ready, you can go to Port No. The projection is there to respond."
Me: "..." In other words, you can book all the positions here by yourself.
It didn't take much effort for me to come to the deep diving ship. This was the first time I stepped into this very special spaceship, so I couldn't help being very curious about everything around me. As soon as I entered the main control room of the spaceship, I couldn't help but look around. stand up. This redesigned spaceship has relatively ample space for passengers. Although it cannot be compared with those large starships that often put a space city inside, it is still very spacious for short-term voyages. However, I checked around and found here It is no different from ordinary imperial spaceships: the simple and bright interior of the silver-white battleship, the wandering blue light that can occasionally be seen on the walls or ceilings, and the data terminals that can be seen everywhere, as well as slowly flying in mid-air, responsible for monitoring The self-discipline machinery for the daily maintenance of the spaceship, these things are often seen on other spaceships. It seems that although the function of the deep submersible ship is a bit special, and the shape is a bit weird, it is not so difficult from the inside to the outside. Becoming like an alien hatchery - for some reason, whenever I'm connected to the abyss, I always associate it with some weird mutant scenes...
"Your Majesty?" Ansers' voice came from the side, "I received a transmission signal just now, why did you come in person?"
The ancestors sat in two rows on the workbench in the main control room. They were all wearing the standard military uniform of the New Empire, with the special mark of the Deep Diving Project Department on their collars. They were all neatly dressed and had serious expressions. Busy inputting commands on the console, he seemed to have become quite a professional deep-diving ship operator. Ansers and a few ancestors were turning around and looking in the direction of the transmitter in amazement, obviously a little surprised that I came in person.
I waved to him: "I'm here to serve as a shield for you, don't mind, just dive, you just treat me as a spaceship part..."
Ansers knew my habit of running around with my mouth, and after he probably understood what I meant, he didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and continued to untie the various equipment restrictions of the deep-diving ship: this spaceship has installed very A lot of special equipment, these things either have a limited service life, or have strong interference to the surrounding environment (such as the shield device that simulates the world barrier, which will seriously affect the stability of the surrounding space when it is turned on), so only Turn it on manually when you are about to dive. Looking at Anses's familiarity with these things, I couldn't help muttering: "It seems that you are learning these new things quite quickly."
"Teaching programs, memory input, everything is instant," Ansers shrugged, "It's very easy to just learn how to use these devices, you can just implant them into the memory, and even their principles can be directly input into the brain , but it is too difficult to become the knowledge that we can grasp flexibly. We can recite many advanced theories backwards, but no one knows what we recite. I am afraid that it will take us a long time to understand our own brains Let’s use the textbooks in the book. Well, that’s not bad, at least I have something to do.”
At least there is something to do—this seems to be the life motto of the ancestors, at least Ansers's life motto, "No matter what time you can't become a person who is useless", they are promoting the next step of this creed. Come to today.
"The deep diving ship is approaching the gate of the abyss," Ansers reminded me a few minutes later, "There may be a little vibration, it is best to sit on a chair."
I waved my hand at him, releasing my power while transforming into a void form: "Leave me alone, it's best not to touch things in my form, it's easy to break the chair."
Ansers stared dumbfounded at His Majesty, who had turned into a black faceless man, with an incredulous expression on his face: "This is..."
Only then did I realize that this should be the first time the other party has seen my void form, and I understand his surprise now: "Oh, this is what the legendary void creature looks like when it grows up. Don't look at it so easily. I understand, but it's still relatively strong."
Ansers immediately nodded knowingly: "Oh, so it's still facing this way, I thought it was the back of your head."
Me: "... sail with peace of mind, sail with peace of mind."
You said I was so big and shameless, who did I provoke! How can anyone be surprised
In short, the deep diving ship finally passed the gate smoothly, and I didn't feel too much vibration. A few minutes later, the pile of weird wreckage that came from nowhere appeared on the monitor: I didn't expect it to be so close to the real world. RS
