Chapter 945: When it comes to high technology, sometimes a big hammer works - in theory

Views:

The psionic energy well that has been completely out of control is supplying excess energy to all the crystallization pipes in the wreckage. Relying solely on the energy release path of the deep submersible itself is completely unable to satisfy the problem of channeling so much excess energy, even though there is a lot of grazing energy outside. The device is working intensively, but the fragile structure of the wreck itself determines that there is an upper limit to the power of the energy skimmer that can be used in this case. No matter how accurate Tavel's judgment is, how knowledgeable he is, in such a complex and sudden environment , had to give up a lot of things in order to preserve the wreckage database as much as possible, such as all the experimental cabin sections that were abandoned before. But even if she did this, she only bought us two hours, and the situation in the core area of the wreckage did not improve at all.

Entering from the inspection passage, after advancing in a straight line for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the transit area connecting the inspection passage and the corridor inside the ship. This is a very wide alloy hall, with a height of more than 100 meters and an average width of several hundred meters. It is enough for a small spaceship to pass through here. There are three passages in the transit area. One is the direction we came from. Smoke and fire spewed out from the depths of the tunnel, where it connected to the completely sealed inner ring belt energy plug, which was the culprit that caused the emergency, the last energy plug that failed to be taken out of the entire wreckage, if It wasn't that it got stuck suddenly, and the psionic well management program of the deep diving ship would not make a judgment that it needed to replenish energy to the experimental cabin.

But now that energy bolt has been completely blocked by the raging psionic storm, not to mention the rescue team, even if Pandora or Viska came over, I am afraid they would not dare to approach that environment casually: What is the concept of a psionic well that is rampant? The smallest model of that thing is equivalent to the output of more than a dozen psionic reactors added together. In order for this scientific research ship to advance in the abyss, the psionic wells equipped in its experimental cabin are extremely efficient. In this case, the environment around it is definitely not much more optimistic than being salvoed by the fleet.

But myself and Sandora may be the only two people who can get close to the energy bolt now: I am almost immune to pure energy attacks, and Sandora has a good tank.

"How many people still stay in this ring?" Sandora noticed that I was studying the road map leading to the energy plug, and had already guessed what the people around me wanted to do. asked the staff member of the "safety station".

"The inner ring has fourteen key nodes, and each node has one or two such workstations. There are twenty-two stations in total, and a total of one hundred and thirty-six researchers are standing firm."

"Okay, hold on for a while, let's remove the energy plug!" I finally confirmed the route to the energy plug, and said loudly in an unquestionable tone.

"This is very dangerous!" The scientist was taken aback, "The energy plug is the focus of the berserk psionic energy, this is too risky!"

"At least it's much safer than letting you guys handle it—Sandora and I can get close to the energy plug safely. Can your safe platform last longer than the emperor-level apostle?"

"Chief Tavier has informed us of the plan of our two majesties. If we remove the energy plug halfway, I am afraid that there will not be enough time. Now that we are here to suppress it, the two majesties can go to the core with peace of mind. As for the unexpected situation, we have taken it into account. If the security station crashes prematurely, we upload our souls immediately, and death is a daily occurrence for us."

I was a little speechless: "I work with that lunatic Tavel all day long, you are used to being blown up by her, right... Okay, stop talking, the plan has changed, I know the rules of the empire are in the field of scientific research, the emperor You have to listen to the advice of scientists, but now the research project here is over, and Sandora and I are directing the battle, you are ready to withdraw—oh, yes, I forgot to ask, will dismantling the energy plug work?"

I said the second half of the sentence to Sandora. Although I was very confident in what I said earlier, I suddenly realized that it seemed that I didn't even know what the energy plug was for. "You are really..." Sandora gave me a blank look, "The energy plug is used to restrict and distribute the energy in the large-scale psionic energy network, but now the energy plug has become a source of bugs. Because of its existence, Younengjing mistakenly thinks that there is a big leak in the energy network, and continuously outputs energy to the outside. If the energy plug can be removed, it will send a signal to the system of Younengjing that the energy network is offline , and there is no doubt that the latter will shut down."

"Then the wreckage is saved?" I was overjoyed. If the Psionic Well is quiet, does it mean that this section of the deep-diving ship does not need to be blown up

"Unfortunately, there is already too much excess energy in the energy network of this half of the deep diving ship. The shutdown of the psionic well can only stop the boosting of the core area and give these workstations a chance to evacuate, but the accumulated energy in the network cannot be released. If it goes out, and after the energy plug falls off, the energy of the inner ring and the outer ring will be divided, the function of the outer energy skimmer will be further compressed, and the wreckage will not be saved—of course we didn’t plan to save it at the beginning, so it doesn’t count. loss.

"Okay, let's go to the energy plug." I made a decision immediately, thinking that Sandora might remind me a little bit about the priority of the matter and the killing decisiveness that the superior should have, but I didn't expect that she would not hesitate I nodded, took my hand and rushed towards the dark and twisted third passage on the other side.

The environment of the road leading to the energy plug is even worse than the inspection passage just now. There are small-scale explosions and energy sparks collapsing everywhere. The thick smoke obscures the sight of the naked eye. In the case of psionic interference, this is not an easy job. I feel like there are mosaics in front of me-this yard is thick enough.

This passage—in fact, it can no longer be said to be a passage, it can only point out the direction to the last energy plug, the serious distortion of the passage itself and the large amount of twisted metal blocking the route along the way interfered with the progress of Shandora and me, We can hardly find a place where we can pass through normally. Sandora had to change her form and use the giant claws of the abyss to open up the road. The metal obstacles and falling alloy guards along the way were chopped up by her like paper shells. They were torn to shreds like vegetables. Except for the demolition team, I have never seen such a high work efficiency.

"You seem to support my nonsensical plan?"

I supported the shield to block the psionic lightning that was comparable to guns along the way for Sandora, and asked loudly amidst the continuous explosions.

"Are you saying that you suddenly changed the route to dismantle the energy bolt yourself? Or assist those low-level technicians?" Without looking back, Sandora waved a gray-white shock wave, smashing the collapsing metal support beam in front of her into pieces. .

"There are both, no matter how you think about it, it seems a bit petty, right?"

"That's right, as a leader, changing your plan like this will reduce the success rate of the entire operation and consume a lot of energy, but as Ah Jun, you will definitely make this decision. You are used to doing everything yourself—I Then get used to your habits. In addition, Tavel’s previous plan was correct, but she is not you and me after all. Facing the same scene, maybe her judgment will be limited to her own eyesight, so this time I think Ah Jun The plan is still very feasible, if we act at full speed with our strength, we will remove the energy plug and then go to the core area, there will be time."

I felt a little relieved when I heard this, and I also know that it is very rash to change the action plan like this, but how should I put it, letting those low-level technicians manually suppress the core pipe network is after all a temporary solution, not the root cause, I think Combining myself and Sandora, it is probably enough to handle an energy plug.

"It should be in front," Sandora suddenly stopped and said loudly, and then pulled me off the alloy wall in front, "Don't run so fast."

"Mother, the size is too thick." I rubbed my forehead in embarrassment, surrounded by thick smoke, using mental power to explore the way and being disturbed by the energy environment. I don't have Sandora's built-in more than 100 radars Out-of-spec vision, if you don't pay attention, you will hit the wall.

If I had known earlier that I should use the void form to drive away, although it is ugly, at least I can directly hit a hole in the wall blocking the way...

"It seems that the wreckage's control system closed the gate by itself, and the opposite is where the energy plug is placed," Sandora looked at the huge alloy barrier in front of her. It had been distorted and deformed by the nearby energy impact, and the opening device must be It has also failed, "It seems that I can only dig a hole."

"Your claws have a lot of functions." I glanced at Sandora's abyssal claws, and suddenly said something out of my mind.

Sandora sharpened her claws on the metal wall next to her: "Ah Jun, trouble comes from your mouth."

That being said, Sandora has no psychological resistance to her abyss form now, and she even enjoys joking with me about this topic. This may be because my void form is more awkward than the big claw It gave her a lot of confidence. Next, the two began to deal with the gate in front of them. Since the charging armor had failed, the indestructible alloy gate had now become ordinary metal. The resistance is extremely high, and the psionic energy raging around did not reduce the physical strength of this gate, so we couldn't handle it as destructively as before. Sandora began to cut the gate aggressively, and the whole process was full of flames. Then concentrate on maintaining the shield, and at the same time divert the nearby energy to prevent explosions. After a short while, Sandora breathed a sigh of relief: "It's done, the thickness is more than two meters, and it's also mixed with starstones, it's really strong. "

A large hole with a width of about two meters and a depth of two meters has been opened on the gate, and there is no cut metal debris on the ground: Sandora may have thrown it into her mouth and ate it.

What a wonderful mouth this is! Even starstones can bite! If it wasn't for the lack of range, Sandora's most powerful weapon might be her little tiger teeth.

Sandora and I immediately went through the hole and entered the energy hub. The energy bolt is placed in a cylindrical enclosed space with a radius of about twenty to thirty meters. There is no operating platform in the space, which means that under normal circumstances no one will come to this kind of place, and there are countless intertwined and dazzling pipelines under the feet. , like the ground of some kind of lair, there are many parallel crystallized pipes lined up on the curved wall next to it, emitting a faint blue light, and in front of it is a metal structure fixed in mid-air by a large number of mechanical devices. The metal cylinder composed of crystals probably has a radius of nearly ten meters and a height of twenty to thirty meters. Looking up, it looks like a strange building, covered with jumping blue windows.

Below this cylinder is a hole with a slightly larger radius, and a blue-white halo radiates inside the hole. The intertwined pipelines on the floor of the room eventually converge on a crystallized ring around the edge of the hole. Obviously, the one that leaves the ground The combination of the huge cylinder several meters high and the hole emitting blue light below it is the so-called energy valve, and the energy plug is that cylindrical thing.

... This thing is bigger than I imagined, a huge cylinder that can solve the housing problem of 200 people, are you really just a valve handle

"It's completely out of control. These crystallization pipes were broken down near the upper restraint, and then some parts were fused together, and the surrounding beta barriers were also broken in many places." Sandora looked up at the closed space At the top of the top, I saw that above the energy plug, where all the crystallization pipes gathered together, a large piece of psionic lightning was collapsing in all directions. The energy plugs fixed in the mid-air are full of tiny energy discharge "electricity" phenomena everywhere, and the bright psionic light arcs run quickly along every pipeline. Due to the unstable energy, the surrounding air keeps popping up out of thin air There are many small light balls with a crystal texture. These small light balls will cause a small-scale explosion when they float on the huge cylinder. Bore! Once this thing breaks open, the two of us who are standing next to each other will really die and peel off!

"You can only lower this thing safely according to the procedure," Sandora walked forward, "You can't directly destroy the energy plug, once its crystal barrier is broken, it may explode."

Staying in this huge "part" (in fact, including this cylindrical closed space we are in, what we are in is an energy valve, and the energy plug is just the control part of the valve), even if I and Sandora will also feel great pressure, the surrounding energy concentration is so amazing, and the energy plug in front of her eyes is blocked with psionic energy that is almost equivalent to a shot from the Galaxy main cannon. If it is an ordinary imperial soldier who comes here, I am afraid several I will be overloaded and self-destruct in seconds, and I rely entirely on my natural ability to be safe and sound in this environment, but the strong psionic energy fluctuations around me still bring a lot of psychological pressure to people, no wonder Tavel once thought that the deep dive ship was completely No help: Except for the leader-level apostles, who else has the ability to come here to play adventures

Due to the energy leak, harsh sirens sounded in the surrounding space, and it sounded disturbing. Sandora frowned, and waved a shock wave in a certain direction directly above, and the siren suddenly stopped. Then she came to the cave below the energy plug, retracted the abyss giant claws, and violently dismantled the crystallization ring there.

I don't know much about these things, all I can do is to try my best to channel the psionic energy leaked from the energy plug, and watch Sandora's movements at the same time.

She has already removed a piece of the one-meter-wide crystallization ring, revealing a one-foot-square hole with a complex crystal structure inside. Sandora smashed these beautiful and deadly crystals with a few punches without even looking at them. It was shattered, revealing a metal bulge below. She groped for a bit on the metal bulge, then found a groove, and pulled it out of the ground forcefully: it turned out that this was a control rod buried in the mechanical structure. . There was originally a blue light floating on the control rod, but as it was pulled out of the original slot, the blue light quickly dimmed, and at the same time, a low hum that was unique to the device when the power supply was insufficient came from the energy plug.

With a "bang", Sandora threw the disassembled parts on the ground casually, then dismantled the nearby crystal cover plate according to the law, and pulled out the control rods inside one by one. I looked at it for a while and found that it was nothing It was technically difficult, so I also helped out: "It doesn't look difficult at all."

"Sometimes, things that the microscopic probe can't handle can be done with a hammer." Sandora looked up and smiled, "The stupid way is the easiest way to master... Well, the last one, get it done!"

"Warning: The No. 14 energy bolt restraint device is in an abnormal state. The restraint device is about to release its restrictions. The energy bolt is expected to complete its descent in one minute."

As Sandora threw the last control rod on the ground, the light of the crystallization ring under our feet dimmed immediately, and then the surroundings were filled with low hums of energy release, and the restraining mechanical devices at high altitude began to use the remaining energy After performing the action of lowering the energy plug, the gigantic cylinder finally began to slowly descend amidst a burst of vibrations. Sandora and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the environment is harsh, at least this thing is more obedient to operate manually.

However, before we could fully exhale, we heard a deafening bang from above: "Bang Dang!!!"

The energy plug suddenly stopped in a violent shaking, and the surrounding space was instantly filled with energy lightning, Sandora's face suddenly changed: "Oops! It's stuck!"

Almost at the moment when the energy lightning around me appeared, I had already taken action, and the energy suppressing force field was released instantly, and all the psionic energies that ran away were violently bound in their respective medium areas in the blink of an eye, an earth-shattering big explosion Dangerously and dangerously nippled in the bud, but still made myself startled with white hairs, I kept my energy suppressed and did not dare to relax, and asked nervously: "What's going on?"

"The restraint device is faulty, it locked itself," Sandora pointed to a large number of complicated mechanical devices in the sky, "so I don't like mechanical restraint devices! Now we must quickly lower the energy plug, let it Fall into this hole, or there will be a big explosion."

"Cutting off those mechanical arms?"

"Those things are made of high-purity star gold and high-crystallinity alloy. I can be sure that my claws will never break that kind of thing: its design index is that it will not cause the energy bolt to shift if it is directly hit by the main gun of the battleship. It is beyond the tolerance range, and the energy resistance of this thing reaches 99%, it is very difficult to cut off this kind of thing in a short time."

"You can't use energy to attack, and you can't just introduce void energy into this kind of environment, so you have to... find a coolie!" I was blessed in this moment, and immediately connected to the soul, "Lin, come here, it's time to work hard!" !"
