Xyrin Empire

Chapter 856: Remnants?

Views:

The large-scale dismantling platform is one of a series of comprehensive facilities newly built by the research center. It is specially used to deal with more and more large-scale relics of the old empire. With the expansion of the new empire's territory and the macroworld outposts gradually develop into small-scale colonies sites or military bases, more and more relics of the old empire have been discovered, and the ancient Xiling relics available for scientists to study have gradually changed from "gadgets". Ancient Xiling equipment with huge volume and complete functions has begun to become A frequent visitor to the research center, Tavel ordered to expand the hyperspace laboratory of the research center again, and built this comprehensive facility called a large dismantling platform.

It can be said that it is a combination of our old analysis laboratories, dismantling centers, closed gantry and other research departments. Usually, one platform exclusively occupies an independent hyperspace laboratory, and multiple layers of space are used in it. Nesting technology ensures that no matter how big the thing is, it can be decomposed in the "indoor environment", such as the spaceship fragments dragged from the "head" of Viska.

In the dark, distorted gravity space, the gigantic cylindrical mechanical body is fixed in the air by invisible restraint locks. All the coverings on the surface have been cut off, including twisted pipelines and half-melted armor layers. Gravity is firmly "stuck" in place, every most inconspicuous part is subjected to the most comprehensive inspection, multifunctional probes and Xiling technicians in white uniforms walk through the huge pipelines endlessly, They are looking for a data recording device that may have survived. The commander of the scientific research team is a middle-aged uncle who looks very stable. I don't know him, but Tavel let him take this position. He should be a good enough scientist.

Next to the dismantling area, there are many hexagonal metal platforms floating in the air. The metal platforms are randomly distributed in different heights. The observation point is equipped with a large number of the most sophisticated analytical instruments and is directly connected to the host of the research institute. Its highest level platform is even directly connected to the core host of the shadow space, that is, Bubbles. This is why Sandora and I are standing When we are on the platform, we will find that on the holographic projection in front of us, the avatar of Shepard dismantling a big pineapple empty-handed "Bored" Bubbles appears in front of our eyes. As the core host of the capital of the entire empire, this girl has the ability to make her photo stick Appear anywhere in the shadow space "The human network is down, and I can't blatantly re-launch all the satellites in the world for them in one day, so I can only download their game and come back and play it myself , but this is very boring..." "It's okay, I know how to bully people on Earth all day long." I "press" Bubble's avatar back into the panel, and the latter immediately sticks out his tongue and retracts his neck in cooperation, "Yes play games

Connect yourself to the macro world network, play with Skynet, or go to the campus network of the Imperial Military Academy, you and the Misakas are 10,000 against 10,000..." Half of Bubble's head popped out from the control panel Come on, imagining the spectacular scene of 10,000 Shepards and 10,000 shirtless Diablos wrestling with bricks, I was immediately fascinated.

Sandora touched my arm, making me turn my attention back to the business.

In front of me is the lively scene of scientists dismantling the ancient Xiling equipment. Of course, this is very spectacular, but I am used to watching it. Now they dismantle anything in front of me and they can’t have any impact on themselves. What really impacts me is still One thing Sandora told herself just now.

"I asked them to scan the logical core of the barrier star three times." Sandora bit her lower lip and said, "Viska's glory starship is very strange. Its logical core is a separate system, although it is also a spiritual part of Viska. But the latter seems to be completely unaware of the existence of this logical core. This may be the result of Viska's extreme mental instability.

The fragments of consciousness separated from it no longer belong to its own logic system in a second, so the logic core of the barrier star is also in a mess. We used three different scanning methods to retrieve all the system logs in the core. In the middle, Weiss Ka also volunteered to help, and it turned out she was more confused than us. "

"Inside the syslog, we found something unusual."

As Sandora said, she pulled out a few simple and clear messages and placed them in front of my eyes.

"This is the last log before the impact begins: the third berthing area of the planetary fortress, the port entry request is accepted, the port entry request is passed, and the target spacecraft is started to land."

I'm surprised, I'm messy, I start screwing my cheeks.

"This is when the impact started, the system log was refreshed synchronously, and it was still the third berthing area: the landing procedure of the target spacecraft started, the barrier in the berth area was lifted, and the landing began."

I continued to be surprised, continued to be messy, and continued to screw my face.

"Don't screw it up," Sandora reprimanded lightly, "I'm still keeping it."

Me: "..." Her Majesty the Queen, who was upright and heroic in the past, has completely learned from it!

"What's going on with this log?" I had a delicate expression on my face, looking at the two simple system logs in front of me, I had countless guesses in my heart, but I didn't dare to say them out loud. But Sandora has obviously conducted many careful analysis, and the evidence she possesses may be said to be iron-clad, so her answer is very quick and certain: "This is not an impact, but a guided landing according to normal procedures. It is the wall that accepted the landing request of the impactor, and then opened the door to welcome three big explosions." "This is unscientific!" I immediately exclaimed, and then shook my head, "Of course there is no magic to guide the landing? Why is the wall Star is going to guide the landing of three warship wrecks? And this system log has not been uploaded to Viska. 1 The little girl did not expect this impact at all. When the big explosion happened, she also smashed the coffee table and sofa… "

By the way, that accidental loss also provided Sandora with a supper.

"But if this is true, it can explain why the barrier star did not issue an air defense alarm, nor did it activate the defense mechanism." Sandora is still analyzing this unlikely possibility, although things are getting more and more wrong, but there is no more. Now that she has reliable information, she can only acquiesce in the fact that many unreasonable things just happened. "Because it is the landing procedure approved by the core system of the Glory Starship, all early warning agencies have chosen to be silent because the target is under normal circumstances. The lower contact starship, so no anti-aircraft artillery issued an alarm. When the impact occurred, the upper deck of the barrier star was still executing the default port opening procedure, and this procedure did not require manual participation. More importantly, any All Glory starships are independent in action, and most of their operations have nothing to do with the regular battle sequence. The garrison in the base has no way of knowing what kind of automatic operations are being performed on the upper deck. Under normal circumstances, the automatic operation status of the Glory starship is only it The owner can view it, that is, Viska, but... "

Sandora didn't say the second half of the sentence, but I know what it is: But God knows what Viska did, she doesn't even know her glory starship as well as the Alpine lollipop formula, let that The crazy little girl understands what her Glory system log is for. It is no less than letting Pandora win the next round of the Nobel Peace Prize. Of course, that girl is very likely to choose to conquer the world and then award herself a Nobel Peace Prize. It's out of our scope.

"The autonomy of the Glory Starship is too high. When it judges that a foreign object is not a threat, all the early warning radars attached to its device registry will be safe by default. This is originally used to improve the efficiency of device execution." Sandora sighed, "Originally, this is normal. The Glory starship is the most reliable weapon owned by the Xiling Empire. Its error rate is lower than that of any kind of equipment, but Viska is an exception." Putting this aside, why did the moon base guide three starship wreckage to hit itself?"

I raised my finger and pointed to the wreckage of No. 1 that was being disembowelled. The culprit that caused a big explosion on the moon and directly caused the child’s mother to encounter ERROR-35 is being dismembered. We only know now that it The fact that he had applied for entry when he bumped into it was as ridiculous as bin Laden's application for a trip to Washington and getting approval from American Airlines!

"I have a guess." Sandra stretched her hand and brushed the blond hair next to her ear, showing a complicated smile, "Maybe this was an unsuccessful forced landing..." Lou: "... huh?" "These three things have basically It was identified on the Internet, the two smaller wreckages are the acceleration module of the vector movement engine, and the larger wreckage is the general-purpose buffer plug-in on the energy center of the battleship. They come from the same spaceship, an Eternal-class battleship that has disintegrated." Shando La looked at the construction site in the distance with a steady and calm voice.

"The origin of this battleship is still unknown in the world. The big explosion destroyed the data recording devices on the three general-purpose modules, but at least one thing is certain: neither the acceleration tube nor the large capacitor has the function of sending a landing signal. Before, it should be a ship that sent the landing request signal, not these three fragments." "That is to say" I understood Sandora's meaning and frowned "At that time, an Eternal-class warship was going to It made an emergency landing on the barrier star, but it failed to hold on before it landed..." Sandora took the initiative to take over my words: "The battleship was probably on the verge of collapse before requesting an emergency landing. After opening it, it exploded to pieces on the other side of the gate, and finally crash-landed on Bastion with only two accelerators and a large capacitor. The only problem now is that a normal Imperial battleship captain would never do such a thing , they should judge for themselves what is wrong with their spaceship. If there is no possibility of a successful forced landing, they will choose to self-destruct instead of forcing a landing to hurt their comrades. It is a pity that the navigation module of the unlucky spaceship failed to survive The door to the world, otherwise we would have much more data to analyze."

"There are enough things that have been analyzed." I sighed sincerely. I couldn't help but feel emotional about this disastrous forced landing. Emergency landing is a word that makes people's hearts tighten. These four words are definitely not only It’s just as simple as being used by Hollywood to attract attention. Only when you have personally witnessed the shocking scene of a huge spaceship crashing on the earth dragging thick smoke, can you appreciate the cruelty of this matter. Yes, I can imagine the tragic scene of it trying to rush to the space gate in a state of nearly falling apart, and the tragic scene of it falling apart in a place close to the space gate. ..., wait back to base? !

"I said, this unlucky spaceship shouldn't belong to Viska back then!"

I pointed at the accelerator that had been dismantled into a pile of incombustible garbage, and looked at Sandora with a horrified expression.

"You finally thought of Sandora and shrugged dumbfoundingly, 'We finally know that we have been ignoring a question: where is the army of Viska back then."

My mind was running wildly, scrolling and broadcasting all kinds of unconstrained conjectures at the speed of dozens of T per second, and the secrets of the ancient times were running around, and I began to guess how wonderful the Viska army was back then. State: There is a supreme commander who has no normal thinking ability at all. Does their mid-level commander have normal three views

Well, I know that I may be overly surprised, and my thinking is a bit off the train.

"Wait, if this is Viska's spaceship back then, it might make sense for it to make a forced landing on the barrier star, but didn't Viska originally belong to the fallen apostle camp? These wreckages..." "This is a mystery, I hope Viska Scar can recall anything, so I asked her to scan her memory core, but there is little hope." Sandora shook her head, "There is no abyss reaction on these three wrecks, and they are normal in all aspects. The Imperial armaments are exactly the same, so I'm guessing it's a remnant from before Viska joined the Fallen Apostles, but no one knows what happened to the ship after its own Supreme Commander became the Fallen Apostles, and why until now Maintaining "purity, state, and whether it has any companions, all evidence may have disappeared in the space storm. "Could it be like this?" I rubbed my forehead, trying to develop my reasoning cells, which I'm not very good at. Independent fleet? "Sandora glanced at me with a strange expression: "This guess is very bold. It is possible that Viska's Legion of Destruction may have done this. She created the army without the necessary equipment and the Xiling mother machine. The soldiers produced forcibly should be different from the complete Xiling apostles, and mutiny is not impossible. "But everything is just conjecture, the [real] situation can only be known by Viska, and that girl is still a confused little lunatic, so the clues are cut off again.

However, getting this information in just one day has exceeded my expectations. Now we know that all the wreckage comes from an Eternal-class battleship, and this battleship should be the remnant of the Legion of Destruction. We still have the old department of Viska There may be a conjecture that a split may occur, and some of these old subordinates may still be alive. These various intelligences are enough to make the commanders of the headquarters [excited] for several days, although I think it may not be all good news for the nerds. It was embarrassing for Viska, but I think that even if the Legion of Destruction is split into two parts, the fallen apostles and the non-fallen apostles, none of them is a good bird. After all, they killed many worlds without being controlled by the abyss. , It's as if the chefs who made Peking duck suddenly split into two camps. One group insisted on roasting, while the other group began to have a soft spot for braised duck. It's split, but whoever provokes the duck, it doesn't matter. Is it still the same...

So I sadly realized that if my guess today is true, then besides the Fallen Apostles, we may have to deal with one more legion, although the scale may not be as large as the former.

This bad guess has not been confirmed, and it has seriously affected my mood, but I am not worried that if the remnants of the Legion of Destruction in speculation really exist, whether being an enemy of them will affect Viska's mood: Fact The little girl with cat eyes has absolutely no feelings for the Destruction Legion she formed back then. In most cases, she even forgets that she has such a group of murderous subordinates. According to Viska's intermittent description and Bei Ravela occasionally told me something when she was awake. A certain little girl had done a lot of front-line bombardment back then, but she suddenly remembered something and ran away without a trace. At that time, Viska was a big Qianqian is also unbelievably "actionist", so I don't believe that Viska has any feelings for his old department.

After coming out of the dismantling platform, I stopped by to see Viska. A little girl is undergoing a deep memory core scan. At present, six mainframes have been paralyzed. A row of mosquito coils is standing in the corridor outside the medical examination center. The mass-produced bubbles are being restarted one by one, and Pandora is waiting at the door like an exquisite ceramic doll. She has already obtained information about a failed forced landing. When she saw me, the little girl just nodded subtly.

"If it's an enemy, kill them all." The awkward twin sister expressed her determination to protect her sister in one sentence.

At noon, Miss Lin, who had slept all morning, woke up leisurely. She had already regarded this place as her own home, and pulled the furry cartoon to take off her shoes and come down to eat like sleepwalking. The low blood pressure that woke up seemed to be common to the eldest Problem, Lin Xue is no exception, no matter what time it is, as long as the current situation is waking up from a deep sleep, Lin girl must be in a state of wandering, and this is often the only way I can gain the upper hand in the struggle with the opponent Opportunities, such as putting chili oil in her meal or secretly turning the eldest lady's chopsticks upside down, I can enjoy it every time, and Lilina evaluates it as a typical manifestation of reverse growth in IQ.

I am now doing such activities that are good for my physical and mental health: carefully drink up the egg huā soup in front of Lin Xue, and put the empty bowl in front of the young lady who is eating with her eyes closed...

Then, the doorbell rang.
