This is a "mounted universe" located near the capital world, one of Tavel's large-scale project testing grounds.
There are about seventeen or eighteen such mounted universes, all of which are carefully designed and adjusted man-made worlds. Their scale and material richness are not much different from those of normal, naturally born universes. Only after accelerated evolution and macro-control, these The universe will not produce any life, so there is no need to worry about various experimental accidents. Tavel connects these universes through a special world gate, and the terminal is directly connected to an "extra-limit laboratory" in the research center to ensure their authenticity. These large test sites are closely connected to the capital world but will never affect each other. Its security level is second only to those of the deep dive port. It is a dedicated site for Tavel to carry out many dangerous or super-large projects. Now, it is used as a A "repair shop" on the startup side.
The previous fierce battle almost swept across the entire abyss area. Many worlds that were not used as battlefields at the beginning were also affected by the repeated see-saw between the new army and the old army. The territory under the abyss Xiling can be said to be devastated. Places such as fishing grounds, deep diving ports, and super industrial hubs are the focus of "care" targets. Eight out of ten of these facilities have been damaged, so they cannot undertake the heavy task of repairing the start-up end. The boot end that was torn into many pieces by the big bang was indeed placed in the abyss area at the beginning (after all, the original manufacturing team and technical materials were there), but when the battle damage report came out, Abyss Xiling decisively put these The wreckage was brought to the Empire.
Her reason was "It doesn't hurt to use my dad's things anyway"—why did this guy have such an awareness at this time
The main "workshop" is located in a thin strip of matter, a place where celestial bodies are rare and far away from various space energy fields (it is equivalent to an "open space" in such a huge test site). The vast, dark space is devoid of any man-made stars. In the range equivalent to several solar systems, only a large number of artificial planets and huge scientific research facilities are orbiting in their respective orbits, and they move freely. They don't follow the laws of celestial bodies' movement at all, and these things that look like the sun, moon and stars are actually just "construction machinery" here. The role of the artificial planet here is basically a gravitational anchor point and a platform for the installation of giant equipment, and located in the center of the entire "workshop" is a dazzling blue sun: the psionic death star.
Now we seem to have ushered in a rare period of peace. In the foreseeable time and space, there should be no large-scale battles that require troops above the legion level to be dispatched. The mighty giant of the Celestial System Fleet is even temporary. There are no more tasks, and in addition to the fact that many planetary warships were damaged in the previous decisive battle in the abyss area, half of the celestial system fleet is in a state of rest, and the general flagship of the Psionic Death Star has begun to wait for a long time. Now it's time for us to find a way to fix the startup side. And this requires a huge amount of energy, so Tavel applied to transfer the psionic death star alone. Now this artificial star with surging energy is the energy source for all facilities in the entire universe, and it is also an indispensable "igniter" for various tests on the start-up side - except for the psionic death star, we really don't know where to find it With such a large-scale energy source, the starting end is simply a monster, and any stimulus test will consume the energy of thousands of mothership-level psionic furnaces!
Sandora and I came to this large test site early this morning in order to witness the repair progress of the expert team. The orbital station where everyone is located is in the far orbit of the psionic death star. With their backs facing the dazzling blue fireball, they were facing an open construction site. We stood in the observation hall on the top of the orbital station, opened the outer alloy protective wall, and could directly see the starting end of the space with the naked eye. To be honest...it didn't seem to have changed from the previous few days.
Large clusters of white light scattered and floated in space, looking like white clouds strayed here (Sandora thought they were like cotton candy). The shape of each ball of white light is different, and the outer layer is blurred, and the texture is uncertain. Between the white light groups, a large number of working troops can be seen busy shuttling, including the engineering ships of the Empire and the strange equipment of the Protoss. These working teams have been busy here for half a month, and now they have not been able to really "put together" the startup side. But they still made some progress, and "glued" the fragmented starting ends in a special way: faint pale white lines can be seen between those white lights, like spider threads connecting these torn parts. Wreckage, these lines are used to transmit energy and data. They are neither real nor imaginary. Anyway, with my level of knowledge, I can’t tell what they are—in short, it is said that they can temporarily simulate the full-time function of the startup terminal. .
Although Lin Xue's prophecy told the experts not to dig into the dead ends on the starting end, these routine repairs must still be carried out.
A certain mass projection of Tavel (I don’t know the number) stood next to me and reported the situation: “After a period of intensive construction, we have contained the phenomenon of ‘dissipation’ at the start-up end, although we still can’t fully recover it. Physical, but the virtualization process has stabilized. Now the task force is making a virtual connection to the last piece, and when the connection is established, it can be tested. In theory."
The "dissipation" phenomenon is a special situation that occurs after the starting end is blown up. The starting end should be the most wonderful thing I have ever seen. It can be seen and touched, but it is not material in essence, but a strange existence entangled by a large amount of information and controlled at the edge of matter. The fragile state between reality and reality caused it to disintegrate rapidly after being exploded, and it continued to dissipate like evaporation. The initial challenge faced by the expert team was to contain this process before the "evaporation" reached a dangerous critical value. Fortunately, They succeeded.
Nearly one-third of the starting end "evaporated", but fortunately it was not irreparable.
The "virtual connection" mentioned by Tavel, of course, refers to the faint lines between the huge wreckages.
"Which step is the repair progress of this thing?" Qianqian also came to join in the fun today, but she was more confused than I was looking at the busy scene in front of her. He could only stare at Tavel with confused eyes, "Don't talk about data. I have a headache."
"..." Tavel held back for a long time without moving. It seemed that for this senior scientist, if she didn't talk about the data, it would have cost her half her life, but in the end, the Abyss Xiling next to her came up to relieve her: "Let's leave the core part first." I thought about it, this time it is mainly to test what happens when its outer part is forced to start without a core. Although it 'evaporates' nearly one-third, the redundant structure keeps its main function still. Theoretically, it can be put into operation after working overtime and rushing to repair it. Of course, it is not certain how long it will be in operation."
"Why do I always feel unsafe..." Hearing people like Abyss Xiling use "not necessarily" to describe the test results. My heart immediately came up, "What if it explodes?"
"It's not safe at all, and it's almost certain to explode," Abyss Xiling shrugged nonchalantly, and quickly explained when he saw my almost cannibalistic eyes, "It's just to test the needs from charging to overload. How long does it take? Those virtual connections are weaker than other structures on the startup side. When the energy exceeds the threshold, they can quickly overload and self-destruct. Like a safety device, they can prevent the entire startup side from blowing up again. Well, blow up the virtual connection at most .We can't fully restore the starting end now, so we need to find the limit power without blowing it up completely... I hope it can reach 50% of the original design index, so the success rate of bridging is still very high. high."
Abyss Xiling just finished speaking. I heard a bluffing voice coming from the communicator: "Yahoo~~ General, do you hear her brother? This is the Warsong, and this ship has already set up the protective field! When are you going to start doing it?" ? Waiting here is boring..."
Another voice also broke into the channel immediately: "You are bored and you hit this ship, right? You have a brain disorder! Speaking of which, why does this ship's majestic war pendant be reduced to the status of a spectator? Help the stupid spaceship... Alas, recalling the glorious years of the past, gold and iron horses. Thousands of years of fighting, swallowing the sky like a tiger; look at the old veterans of today. Exhausted and weak, the railings are hoarse, physically and mentally tired and weak like a mouse, the general she Brother, can you arrange something more interesting for this ship?"
Me: "..." These two psychopaths really can find a sense of existence for themselves anytime and anywhere.
That's right, Warsong and God's Forge are also on this testing ground, and they are still very important "staff" here. These two are currently the most powerful and qualified real planetary fortress in the New Empire. Their power The level is not comparable to the mass-produced "zero" level planetary fortress (although the "zero" level planetary fortress has evolved for many generations, it is not what it used to be). The Warsong is the former flagship of Sandora, with powerful and various mathematical rate equipment. Its power to adjust the parameters of the universe is not only useful on the battlefield, but also more useful in such super-large experimental projects that can easily lead to the collapse of the world. The Tianshen Forge is the last planetary fortress created by Abyss Xiling at the end of the old empire. Although it has never actually been on the battlefield, it has extremely advanced equipment. It can be said that Abyss Xiling stuffed all the good things at hand. I am on such a starship (after all, it is the last hope), and what makes people happy is that she is better at creating a large-scale defense and stable environment than the Warsong (related to its positioning, after all, it is the Ark of Refuge), so It is also very useful on the proving ground.
We let the two starships arrange a large-scale stable environment and defense field around the test site to prevent the startup terminal from getting out of control due to huge information disturbance when it is activated, and even vicious accidents that penetrate the universe—except death They are the only ones in the garden who have such a large-scale and high-intensity control ability, but the death garden has to focus on monitoring the entire empire area, so I had to endure these two broken reminders and arranged them on the testing ground... But say To be honest, I feel a little regretful at this time, are they really going to be okay
It is said that they are already in trouble! On the screen sent back from the monitor, these two psychopaths are bumping back and forth! You two think you are interstellar bumper cars? Two planetary fortresses with an average diameter one circle larger than the earth collide in space. Who is this trying to scare to death
"I think it's a mistake to ask them two clowns to help," I couldn't help but touch the elder sister next to me, "These two reunited after a long absence, they are in a state of excitement for twenty-two hours a day, and the remaining two hours are extreme Excited state—I can’t stand it! The Grand Overseer is so honest that he protested several times.”
My elder sister showed a slightly troubled smile: "The two of them... At least they can help a little here, it's better than spending all day in the shadow space to study the two-person transformation."
As soon as I heard the three words "Errenzhuan", I immediately fell silent. I just felt a chill all over my body: the two neurotic starships were really going crazy, and I don't know how they came into contact with terraformation and learned the word Errenzhuan. Then I took these three words literally... After that, it was three days of turmoil and public dissatisfaction. Can you imagine what it would be like if the two planetary fortresses crazily circled each other, throwing the entire asteroid belt flying around? what? That's true in every sense? Errenzhuan! The Grand Warlord and a group of escort fleets have been confused by these two crazy hosts for countless times. When they came to complain, they were all dizzy...
This is really entangled, the loyalty of the two psychopaths is so touching, every time I can't help but want to treat them well, but it's even more touching when they get nervous, I can't wait to tie a **** and a girl right away They died together—these two were simply the natural nemesis of the harmonious order of the new empire. Since having these two, I haven't grown much in other things now, and my tolerance is changing by leaps and bounds...
"Brother General? Why don't you speak, Brother General?" Erkuang's voice echoed in the communication channel. This guy had no idea what the silence before the start of the dangerous project meant, "When will the experiment start? Is it okay to go to sleep first without starting the ship?"
"You just wait for me!" When I thought of her and the God's Forge researching "Errenzhuan", I became angry, "This is charging, can't you be quiet? And don't collide with the God's Forge Come and bump. You two are spaceships, not bouncing balls..."
"This ship lady asked for it herself. She said that the equator of this ship is not as slim as hers—isn't this crazy? Both of them are balls, so there is no reason why they are slim or not. General, her brother, don't you think so?"
"Who are you talking about a woman?!" "What is wrong with what this ship says? Do it if you don't accept it!" "Who is afraid of anyone, you have the ability to stop and don't move. You can't be killed by a swing ball from this ship!" "The ship girl is quite arrogant, come on, let's fight~~"
This time, finally, even Hueska, who was lying on the ground studying Wuqi with Little Bubble, couldn't stand it anymore. The 1.2-meter general stood up and shouted: "You guys give me peace! If you continue to mess around, you will be dismantled and replaced with a garbage incinerator! "
The world is finally quiet this time, and it's still Viska's words that work—but what's the matter with dismantling and changing the garbage incinerator? Did the Legion of Destruction still have such rules
Not to mention that two old veterans of the Legion of Destruction are still quarreling on the edge of the test field. The start-up "ignition test" here is finally about to complete preparations. The working team is establishing the last group of virtual connections in space, and those scattered and floating white light clusters have been fixed in space by the anchoring frame. They are connected with each other according to quite complicated rules through white light bands emitting a slight halo, which looks like clouds floating in the universe, and there are long bridges of white light criss-crossing between the clouds. The last of the crew was evacuating from the white ball of light, and the clock on the holographic projection next to us suddenly stopped and then went from counting up to counting down: it was now five minutes before ignition.
Although I know that this test is only to test the residual power of the starter, and it is not a decisive actual measurement, I am still slightly nervous: the time that the starter can last directly affects the success rate of our final repair. I hope this thing can hold up. Pass the fatal level of "50% power".
Only if it can withstand 50% power operation, the starting end is useful, otherwise, even if we force it to be installed on the gate of the abyss, it can only be a giant bomb.
Bubble's voice resounded through all facilities through the proving ground broadcast: "Attention all units, the connection operation is over, all staff evacuated from the A-level dangerous area, all operating personnel evacuated from the A-level dangerous area, and now start testing the virtual connection, the first group Data loading started..."
There will be no problems with these virtual connections. They are not too advanced technology, and they are personally supervised by the best experts from the Protoss and Empire, so nothing will go wrong. The data loading test being carried out now is just to check their data capacity. Whether the throughput can meet the operation standard of the startup end. When Bubbles was conducting these preliminary tests, the Psionic Death Star was also getting ready for the upcoming "ignition". Switch from combat type to pure energy output type. A spherical shell distributed energy extractor (a bit like the Dyson sphere imagined by humans) arranged on the periphery of the psionic death star starts to work. As the energy output of the psionic death star increases, it emits bright blue light one by one. Innumerable blue light bridges appeared out of thin air, and the huge psionic energy was gathered together, and then concentrated on the starting end through the hyperspace device.
The whole world seems to be filled with blue light.
Then the blue light gradually weakened, and the almost endless blue flames of the psionic death star also slowly subsided. The whole planet was like a light bulb with insufficient energy supply and thus reduced brightness: the starting end required a huge amount of energy, even if it was only ignited once. It is also enough to make the psionic death star show signs of dimming, but despite this, it still provides sufficient energy for this experiment.
"Thanks to you guys being able to create this monster-like energy body," Abyss Xiling glanced at the Psionic Death Star in space, and sighed, "Even I was shocked when I saw it for the first time Jump, such a terrible thing... I have been trying to destroy this starship, but now it has become something very important to me, and the activation end is all activated by it."
I smiled and said nothing, and the countdown was just at the end.
"Sufficient energy, ready to ignite!" RI
