, Abyss, this starship was once used to detect the gate of the abyss one by one! "
Sandora looked dignified, and her words were decisive.
Perhaps it was because the impact of this news was so great that I didn't react for a while, but subconsciously let out a oh, and it wasn't until a few seconds later that I realized how exaggerated what Sandora said just now. He shouted: "Wait, sailing in the gate of the abyss?! You say this thing is sailing in the gate of the abyss?!" "This is the only possibility." Tavier quickly operated the holographic projection, and the wreckage of the spaceship on the screen The scanned image is divided into several areas and zoomed in continuously until the details of these areas are fully visible. "As a medium-sized starship, it has too many unnecessary defensive equipment, and almost all of these equipment are designed for super-conceptual damage. Designed. The so-called super-conceptual damage refers to the effect that the attack form breaks away from any tangible damage such as matter or energy, and damages the target with invisible power, void, abyss, divine power, and many special powers possessed by the emperor. They all belong to super-conceptual damage. The easiest example for you to understand at present is the curse power of Mistress Chen Qian, which is one of the most powerful ways of super-conceptual damage. This starship has far more equipment to defend against super-conceptual damage , and obviously not prepared for combat ... , in theory."
Tavel only came to the conclusion that this starship was used to face the abyss environment from the perspective of theoretical reasoning, while Sandora's conclusion was more firm and straightforward: "I feel that it has something to do with the abyss.
"It has an abyss reaction?!" I was startled, subconsciously I was going to throw my hands and kill the two pieces of wreckage. It should mean something else. It's just that the danger of things like the abyss is too high. It can be said that it is our most dangerous enemy from the beginning to the foreseeable future. You can't help but feel nervous when you hear this thing.
"It's not an abyss reaction." Sandora shook her head lightly, then raised her slender and white arm, and in the next moment black flames and thick smoke swept across her body, and the girl's hand turned into a huge one. Black sharp claws, with dangerous abyss flames spewing out from the sharp claws, she gestured towards the two wreckages with her claws, and then whispered, "This is a very subtle feeling. Tavel did not get out of the wreckage." I found the abyss reaction, but the abyss power in my [body] resonated with this wreckage, as if I had found a companion. I was guessing, maybe these two pieces of wreckage were just purified. At some time in the past, this starship Absolutely sailed in an environment full of abysses, and this voyage lasted for quite a long time. It has been in contact with the abyss environment for a long time. It has become a mutated substance that is full of affinity for the energy of the abyss. Although every piece of its metal plate is no different from ordinary interstellar alloys according to the data, I can feel its eagerness to move when facing the flames of the abyss. ""To be honest, my subordinates are completely confused in this regard." Tavel looked at me guiltily, and the glasses Yujie, who was always full of confidence in the past, showed an expression of frustration for the first time. "The institute has not been able to crack it until now." What happened to the mutation that appeared in Her Majesty Sandora's body? I am also completely unable to analyze the scientific basis for Her Majesty Sandora's intuition about these two pieces of wreckage, but it should be accurate. Now we can assume this: The wreckage of the starship was once designed to explore the gate of the abyss, and successfully performed a mission in the gate of the abyss for a period of time. The reason for its destruction is not clear, it may be the effect of the abyss or it may be destroyed by the fire of war. In theory." After listening to Tavel's statement, I turned my gaze to the huge metal wreckage floating in the space. It looked lifeless, and the silver-gray armor layer was forcibly torn, revealing deep passages and machinery in the cracks. The structure is no different from that of a normal spaceship wreck. If Sandora hadn't been able to sense the residual breath of the abyss with her mutated innate ability, perhaps no one would have thought that this thing had sailed in the gate of the abyss. The conjectures in the "Gate of the Abyss" are still unproven, but according to Tavel's theoretical inference and Sandora's intuition, we might as well believe this statement. Well, maybe this can explain why the Fallen Apostle fleet is fighting for such huge casualties. They are coming to snatch this ancient heritage. Even if you don't know what this starship researched back then, it must have such great significance.
"What is the Gate of the Abyss? It's that kind of black ball?" I suddenly asked Sandora.
The gate of the abyss, we often mention this word, and we have witnessed the real gate of the abyss, but there seems to be no definite statement about the nature of this thing. The Gate of the Abyss in my impression is a pitch-black sphere, like a black hole, with absolutely smooth edges and a symmetrical shape. It is neither matter nor energy, nor even a space phenomenon. All known descriptions in the multiverse are The gate of the abyss cannot be described, so the four words gate of the abyss became its entire description.
Sandora is the only person I know who personally entered the abyss gate and came out alive, so I want to hear what the abyss gate she witnessed looked like.
"A black ball?" Sandora shook her head, "It just looks like a ball, but in fact the Gate of the Abyss is a plane: it is a circular plane that is always at a ninety-degree angle to the viewer's line of sight , for each observer, the gate of the abyss presents a different angle, and changes with the change of the external perspective, so you will have the illusion that the gate of the abyss is a black ball." "Ah? That's okay ?” I find this a bit unimaginable: it is not difficult to understand that a circular plane appears in space, just like a piece of paper is placed vertically in front of you, but it is inconceivable that it is a plane in front of any observer. If so, is it any different from a sphere
Hearing my doubts, Sandora explained: "For observers, there is no difference, but for the world, the fact that a plane is a plane cannot be changed. Observers with a single perspective will never realize that the black shadow in front of them is A sphere is still a plane, unless you can gaze at the gate of the abyss from all the dimensions of this world at the same time. So in very ancient times, the empire has always thought that the gate of the abyss is similar to a black hole."
"It appears to be facing each other from any angle of view, but is it essentially a plane?" I can only accept this setting that is not easy to understand. "That is to say, there are countless observers, and there are countless gates to the abyss." A front...,... Well, let's not discuss this for now, what is it like inside the gate of the abyss? Sandora, you have been in there before, is it another dimension?" "Inside the gate of the abyss..." Sando La showed a look of reminiscence, and then his face became strange, "It cannot be measured by common sense, and there is no suitable adjective. After entering the gate of the abyss, you may indeed feel that you have come to a dark space, but this "space is full of violations." Harmony, matter is no longer matter, energy is no longer energy, all things you know present properties you do not know, including yourself. In the endless darkness, I can feel countless things, complex, prosperous, and constantly changing, as if walking in a busy street with my eyes closed...
Well, that's the only way I can describe the feeling. It was weird. There is no time passing in the gate of the abyss, or time is passing, but you cannot integrate into the time system of the gate of the abyss. As the only one of the "gates", the gate of the abyss will reject you. The intruders launched an attack and killed endlessly... Well, that's all I can say. My situation was also very chaotic at the time. Maybe my memory is still a little bit wrong, but the gate of the abyss is indeed a disordered "space" with entities It is possible to get in, but it is not so easy to get out. "It's another bunch of vague knowledge that makes my head big, but I know it's not that Sandora doesn't want to explain it more clearly, but that things like the Gate of the Abyss really can't be understood with the concept of an orderly world, except for personally Experience it, I am afraid that no one can tell what that kind of place looks like.
Of course, normal people probably wouldn't jump into the gate of the abyss in their free time.
Seven hundred thousand years ago, Viska fought fiercely with the Imperial Army at that time. After the battle, she captured the spaceship in front of us, but it is not sure whether the spaceship was torn into two pieces during the fierce battle that year or it has been like this for a long time. The latter is also very possible. If this spaceship was a test sample back then, it might have been cut into two pieces by the abyss when it was dragged out of the gate of the abyss, and what Viska snatched was Other people's specimens. As for the girl's motive for snatching a specimen, we don't need to think about it. Viska 700,000 years ago didn't need a motive for anything.
"At that time, the old empire hadn't been destroyed, and the X plan should be going on. I didn't expect someone to use this radical method to study the gate of the abyss at that time." Sandora looked at the wreckage of the spaceship and whispered to herself, "Perhaps this science The boat test is also one of the many research projects of Project X.
"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask just now." I suddenly remembered something and said to Tavel, "Why haven't you dismantled this spaceship yet?"
On weekdays, according to the work efficiency of the Digu demolition brigade, such a research sample would have been dismantled into pieces, how can it look the same now as when it was dragged back
Tavel seemed to have known that I would ask this question a long time ago, and immediately called up a scan of the warship with many key points marked, and replied: "Your Majesty, we encountered trouble when dismantling the sample. I am afraid that the two paragraphs The wreckage can’t be cracked by simple methods.” I glanced roughly at the scan of the warship, and although the complex structure made people dizzy, I could almost see a set of energy systems nested in each other. The reaction furnace began to extend, and ended at the place where the battleship was cut off, and then the remaining energy pipeline on another section of the wreckage spread to a closed compartment and did not extend all the way to the engine position, indicating that this energy system is not the power part of the spaceship, but It is a huge device that is opened independently.
"There is a complex energy circuit in the wreckage, which is used to provide additional power for its core research module. At present, this circuit has been cut off along with the disintegration of the battleship. What's worse, the system may be charging before it is cut off. The circuit is full of high-concentration psionic energy, and the damage to the middle section of the battleship caused the circuit to automatically activate safety measures. All energy pipe networks were blocked in sections to prevent the active energy inside from leaking to nearby sensitive equipment. Now seven One hundred thousand years have passed, and these safety locks have been broken under the condition of constant internal energy shocks... ""That is
..." I seem to understand.
"That is to say, we can't relieve the pressure of the more than 2,000 energy networks that have been closed separately here under the condition of ensuring safety." Tavel spread his hands, "Unless we can find the original design blueprint of this spaceship, determine a safe passage, and then Send operators into the spaceship to release the pressure in the six main energy channels. Otherwise, if you dismantle it rashly, it will most likely cause damage to the sensitive equipment in the scientific research ship. After all, this is not a warship, but a scientific research vessel. In the end, all the equipment you need is very fragile, especially the database. As long as that thing is destroyed,
The wreckage was immediately a pile of scrap metal. "
Next, Tavier explained the difference between dismantling a scientific research ship and dismantling a sample of an ordinary warship. I understand the problem that the technicians are facing now.
Dismantling a sophisticated scientific research ship is different from dismantling a heavy-duty warship, because their most valuable parts are different. The valuable parts of the latter may be weapon systems, armor or advanced shields Generators, while the most valuable of the former is the fragile and sensitive database or various sensors. The tolerance of the two to harsh environments is of course completely different. The wreckage of the battleship we snatched has already experienced a big explosion, and most of the sensors inside it are probably finished, and even if there are any intact ones, they are in a crumbling state. There is a lot of energy!
Ordinary spacecraft will not retain energy in such a fragmented situation, but it is very special. The special mission of navigating in the gate of the abyss allows it to continue to operate almost in a fragmented situation, at least its energy system can do it At this point, although it has been cut into two sections, and after 700,000 years of long energy release, there are still 80% of the activated psionic energy in the energy network of the starship wreckage.
Now all the energy switches in the wreckage are offline and disassembled by conventional methods will easily lead to the runaway of all energy grids, just like digging a handful of sand from a crumbling sand tower, if you don’t know its current balance No matter where the point is, touching an energy switch at will is a disaster.
Under the suppression of various energy restraint devices, the rampage of the energy network may not completely destroy the wreckage, but those sensitive databases and scientific research equipment will definitely be lost.
"Do you have a specific plan?"
I saw that although Tavel looked bad, but he was dignified rather than hopeless, so I couldn't help asking.
"There is a plan, but I'm afraid it will take some time." Tavier quickly adjusted the screen on the holographic projection next to him. Starting at the same time, it may be possible to decompress all the networks without destroying the energy balance of the wreckage, but it needs to be done slowly. The energy skimmer operates at the lowest output to ensure that the nether energy network will not collapse and damage other equipment. And set the skimming energy The device also takes time, in theory."
"Then let's do this first, we can't get the design blueprint of this thing back then." I nodded, looking at Sandora's expression, I'm afraid she thought so too, "The Fallen Apostles have lost a main force anyway." The fleet, and such a big movement has already attracted the attention of the Protoss, and they will definitely not make much action in a short time, we also need time to replenish our troops, and you have plenty of time."
Tavel gave a military salute: "Your will!" Then the mass projection slowly dissipated in the air.
"You know, Jun, I have a feeling" Sandora and I were the only ones left, she simply leaned into my arms and rubbed her face on my chin affectionately "It seems that we are about to touch A shocking truth... There were too many sensational studies in the last period of the old empire, and every project in Project X... seems to make people shudder now, but the creation of a scientific research ship that can sail through the gate of the abyss Even the Protoss seems to have never been this crazy before. I don't know whose handwriting it is, but it definitely has something to do with the sleeping empire. It feels very strong, and the intuition of the Soul Reaper has always been very accurate. of."
I agreed, and then I suddenly became interested in playing tricks, so while hugging Sandora's soft body from behind, I kissed her gently on the earlobe.
Immediately, the girl in my arms trembled involuntarily, then twisted, and hit my chin fiercely with her head: "Why, so suddenly." I laughed twice: "It's nothing... I suddenly wanted to say I've worked hard for you all this time." Sandora turned her head, her pretty face was full of confusion: "Ah? Ah Jun, you suddenly became artistic again?"
When the two are alone, the lonely and cold Queen is actually just a naughty and silly girl. In the past, I was not used to sudden intimacy, so now Sandora seems a little overwhelmed .
It may be that the long talk with Bingtis this morning made me suddenly think a lot. I think it is necessary to say thank you to Sandora, and by the way, I also relayed to her the conversation I had with Bingtis in the morning about a How the leader should fulfill his responsibilities, and how I should be positioned as the emperor, I have the right to chat with Sandora.
"Oh, have a long talk with Bingtis." After listening to what I said, Sandora didn't pay much attention to the "leadership theory" but showed a subtle smile, "Most of her words make sense, ah Jun, you are really not suitable for doing everything yourself, but you should be a leader like a navigation light, no... Actually, that guy didn't tell you the truth about some things."
me?"
"It's because the gods usually ignore the prayers from the lower world. In fact, for the special racial talent of the Protoss, it doesn't take much effort to deal with those prayers. Even Ding Dong has this ability."
I feel like I've been cheated on by some female hooligan "Bingtis doesn't like to deal with prayers from the underworld because that thing always sounds like a complaint call and that's the truth."
