In the next few days, everyone was studying this question: What happened at the limit of the abyss
This proposition is probably one of the ultimate questions since the generation of conscious creatures in the void. I think Father God and the "crazy girl" on Huron's side should have thought about this question countless times before, but obviously, this question is not So easy to answer.
You have to jump into the gate of the abyss, surrounded by crazy devourers and corroders in all directions, you have to fight against ubiquitous attacks, and you have to deal with the desire to destroy from the depths of your heart. You can't encounter a little bit of turbulence that exceeds the threshold. What protects you is several layers of shields and armor that are weakening every second. The moment they are penetrated is the death of the entire ship. In the territory of the abyss, even if you have The imperial warships or star field gods capable of traveling through the world can't find a way to escape. If you want to see the scene at the limit of the abyss, then the only choice is to sink all the way with your eyes closed, hoping that luck will be with you, Allows you to come alive to that calm zone that might exist. As for the return flight - there is little hope.
This is a daunting journey that only needs to be imagined. The feeling of being soaked in the pressure of death at any time will accompany you all the way. Neither the fearless Imperial Army nor the powerful Protoss Expeditionary Army have succeeded in reaching the goal. At this step, there is only one beacon wreckage in history that may have gone through the entire process: it has the most powerful shield and a shell made of starstone, but when it was salvaged tens of thousands of years later, it was already like a molten mass. Slag, and this beacon may not have really reached the end, it may just be there.
"But it's worth trying." Sandora said.
We finally decided to rebuild the abyss deep dive ship. The name of this project has only two words, which is "deep dive". In the plan, the first batch of three imitations of deep-diving ships with basic functions will be manufactured in the near future. These imitations use conventional databases and unattended AI. Now that the analysis is complete, this kind of imitation is already the limit of what can be done. If they are lucky, they may be able to go to the same depth as the deep submersible ships back then, and then try to respond to the broadcasts reflected from the bottom of the abyss, but these unmanned scientific research ships have little hope of returning, because their protection technology is insufficient. The key technology to ensure the long-term survival of the deep-diving ship in the abyss is the trinity shield imitating the world barrier and a thing named "abyss simulation device". The former has produced samples, but the latter needs to be inside the red moon cube. black technology. This device can generate an information representation that is very similar to that of the abyss, thereby greatly reducing the chance of encountering targeted attacks. Although the abyss is a simple phenomenon without intelligence, there are still such things as "abyssal creatures" in the abyss. Most of them are formed after the creatures of various worlds are deeply assimilated, and some are formed after the abyss power is condensed. Consciousness, this kind of thing will actively look for enemies, and the function of the "Abyss Simulator" is to reduce the possibility of the deep diving ship being discovered by these minions.
It will take Tavel at least several months to manufacture this kind of thing, and it will take at least a year for a fully functional deep submersible ship to appear. Therefore, before that, we can only use imitations that never return for research.
Unmanned deep submersible ships are very likely to be unable to return, so the only thing they can send back is data. These data are the most precious things, but it is not easy to receive them back in their entirety. After entering the gate of the abyss, everything Information exchange will be disturbed, the interference is so strong that even the spiritual connection of the apostles of Xiling will be intermittent, so it is quite difficult to maintain instant communication with the deep diving ship. Tavel and other scientists try to send the information back one after another. However, the advanced technology seems to have encountered a barrier: no wave band can escape the interference of the power of the abyss. In the end, scientists can only reluctantly accept the fact that after the deep-diving ship enters the gate of the abyss, it will be unrealistic to maintain instant communication.
And the ultimate solution was finally proposed by Qianqian (well, I admit, the only one who can come up with a solution at this time should be this wonderful girl whose thinking is never restricted by anything): use a drifting bottle.
In fact, it is to use the black box. Since the deep submersible ship will inevitably be destroyed, and we have no way to exchange data with it in real time before then, the only way to extract scientific research results is to recover the debris after the destruction of the spacecraft. Qianqian's suggestion is to let each ship carry thousands of "drifting bottles" so that there is always someone who can leave the abyss safely.
The most primitive and stupid method is used to solve the most cutting-edge and difficult problems. This makes people think of the ultimate solution that humans used to solve the problem of pens not being able to write in space: use pencils.
When Qianqian brought up the word "drifting bottle", Sandora couldn't help showing an emotional smile: "It seems that sometimes I really have to use this stupid method, and the solution to the ultimate problem is often the ultimate solution." Simple. Let the deep submersible ship carry countless black boxes with the strongest protection performance. Each black box is used to record key data. After the deep submersible ship is destroyed, these black boxes will move towards the exit as much as possible. When the target becomes smaller, It will be much easier to let them return safely. But there is still a problem: without a strong enough power, the black box cannot leave the gate of the abyss by itself, just like the method of taking out the remains of the beacon from the gate of the abyss in the God Realm Same, we need to salvage the black box."
The living room has been turned into the same as the command center, and there are shimmering holographic projections everywhere. My sister fiddled with the screen in front of me a little bored, and reminded: "But it is much more difficult than that. The gate of the abyss in the God Realm is benign. Yes, there was no danger a long time ago, but what the deep diving ship has to pass through is the active abyss gate. By then, most of the 'drifting bottles' will come up from these places. Who would dare to go to such a place? Salvage?"
This is a huge problem. Even if we immediately build a group of deep diving ships and throw them into the gate of the abyss, and successfully return a large group of black boxes carrying information, it is still difficult to salvage the latter from the gate of the abyss. Extremely difficult, the black box without enough power can't break through the chaotic layer of the abyss gate, we can only jump in and get it by ourselves...
This is much more challenging than trying to fish a cell phone out of a toilet.
The five-member group of Father God and the protoss twitter, and Sandora and I took the family's cheating father and did not sneak out in the crowd. You look at each other and I look at you. In the end, Bingtis suddenly shrank his neck: "Don't mind, I am right That has a psychological shadow, I have been tied to that kind of thing for so many years, if you jump in again... the concubine would rather die."
"The danger factor is very high, and if ordinary people go in, even if they are powerful enough to return safely, there is a great possibility that the abyss will be released. If the gate of the abyss is regarded as a thin film covering a highly toxic substance, then the things on the main material plane Going in and out of the abyss door frequently is equivalent to constantly punching holes in this membrane, and a little carelessness will cause a big explosion." Sandora said, "It's nothing if only a deep dive ship goes in and out once, but if you salvage those black boxes, But it’s a large-scale and frequent operation.”
Father God nodded: "We have to find a way to recover the black box safely, and we can't let the gate of the abyss explode. Now the gate of the abyss under the control of the gods and your empire is used as research samples, and the surrounding area is heavily guarded by a large number of elites. Troops, once the gate of the abyss they are guarding gets rid of the suppression, it will be a disaster among disasters, and the Protoss cannot afford it."
Xiaoxue looked at our serious expressions, thought for a while, and raised her hands cautiously: "Dad, Mom, Second Uncle, Big Aunt, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Fourth Master..."
I pressed the girl's mouth with a broken face: "What are you trying to say?"
Xiaoxue broke off my fingers: "Don't we have a group of people who are most suitable for this job?"
Everyone was startled, almost a dozen mouths opened their mouths in unison: "Who?"
Xiaoxue spread her hands: "Have you forgotten? When I ran out from the Fallen Apostle, I pried away an army group, and now they are still on standby at the border of Shadow City. Although there are some political stains, after all, they have turned their backs on the dark side, Mom and Dad You can't discriminate against them, can you?"
As soon as Xiaoxue said this, I suddenly realized: I really forgot about them!
Xiaoxue instigated a whole group army from Harlan—of course, their organization is no longer up to the standard of a complete fleet. When they came out of the world of the fallen apostles, they suffered a lot of battle losses, and the abyss spaceship was on the side of the New Empire. It is impossible to form a system to supplement soldiers. Now that fleet has thousands of starships including small spaceships, and Sandora and I have not yet considered what tasks to arrange for them, so we will put them there first. Xiaoxue said that these former fallen apostles were discriminated against—in fact, this was her nonsense. Although the number was larger and their identities were a little more sensitive, the fallen apostles purified by void creatures were no different from normal apostles, and the soldiers who surrendered were the same. Obtained the authority system certification of the new empire, and regained the imperial soldier code, but they have not yet re-entered the establishment system.
If they were to assist in the completion of the "Deep Dive" project, it would be perfect. Their spaceships are simply aggregates of the abyss, and it would be a piece of cake to engage in such extremely dangerous salvage work!
"Who controls those abyssal fleets now?"
My sister asked casually, and I pointed to Viska who was trying to stack twelve sugar cubes together: "Her."
Viska looked up in confusion: "Huh?" Then the twelve sugar cubes collapsed. This is the tentative commander of the most special fleet of the New Empire—the Abyss Fleet. Outside of the battlefield, this little girl is not reliable at all.
Of course, since she has a nitroglycerin head like her sister, I also don't think she is very reliable on the battlefield.
The abyss belongs to the abyss. Only Viska is qualified to command an abyssal fleet. Although Sandora is half an abyssal creature, she only uses that power to enhance her combat effectiveness. She doesn't know how the fleet is abyssal How to fight after that. Bella Villa is a former fallen apostle, but she is now hibernating six days out of seven on average. Carter? Carlo is a fallen apostle with a standard background. Unfortunately, he led a group of death squads when he was the highest military rank, and he is still a senior consultant of the third intelligence core. The first update~~ commanded the army, and in the end, this army became Viska’s general fleet, which just filled a gap: Pandora has its own general fleet, but Viska cannot form a direct legion because of its special fighting style , now these abyssal fleets are coming at the right time.
The only worry is that this girl, Viska, doesn't seem to be good at commanding troops. Like Pandora, she is a combat-type apostle, but unlike Pandora, she lacks an external apostle like Sivis. Thinking about the loop, it is quite unsafe to let the group of abyssal fleets that can hardly replenish their troops rush to the front line. People can be resurrected after death, but after their abyssal spaceships are destroyed, where can I build another group! Of course, Huska also has his own adjutant, the lunatic AI surnamed Chen, but he said from the bottom of his heart, with such a cheating adjutant, Huska might as well raise a parrot...
"Viska, let your abyss fleet participate in the 'Deep Diving' plan, we need them to go to the gate of the abyss to recover the fragments of the 'floating' deep diving ship." Sandora said after glancing at Viska, the little The girl nodded and continued to play with candy with great interest.
"It's a long-lost feeling." After distributing all the preparations that could be done in advance, Sandora exhaled and said with a sigh, "I think of every adventure on the road of civilization evolution—the first electromagnetic fever, the first Once a fire was made (it seems that in the history of civilization of the apostles of Xiling, electromagnetic phenomena were mastered one step earlier than fire), the first time to leave land for the ocean, the first space exploration, the first time to stay away from the parent star... ignorant There are always similarities in the first adventures. The pioneers used those simple and even ridiculous primitive tools to explore the unknown world. Looking back after entering a higher level of civilization, perhaps the things used in these explorations will be the same as stone tools. Simple, like standing in an imperial starship and watching the human Mars probe land. Who would have thought that these two things are used to explore the abyss: drift bottles and salvage divers... "
I thought to myself why Sandora has suddenly become literary, although what she said seems to be quite reasonable-even though I don't understand it very much.
The "Deep Diving" project has officially started, and Tavel has begun to manufacture the first batch of replicas of the deep diving boat, which may take several months.
Although we had conceived of rebuilding the deep submersible ship before, we never expected that this idea would turn into such a big operation in the end, and a large group of deep submersible ships would be built—unmanned in the early stage and manned in the later stage. Sandora will go up in person—to explore the bottom of the abyss, which almost runs counter to the prudent attitude we decided at the beginning. Such a change occurs because the calm state at the bottom of the abyss makes people irresistible. Cheer up: In his opinion, the black technology in the Red Moon Cube is both good and bad. If it is something that makes the entire race obsessed with it, or even fanatically believes in it, it is undoubtedly an artifact of destroying the country, but if it is only in a limited range As cutting-edge scientific research, it is still very useful, and we must pay attention to the problem of scale. The old empire failed to resist the temptation of these "miracles of science and technology", and rashly expanded the field of void research, which led to disaster. Now there are Lessons learned from the past, presumably Tavel will not make the same mistake.
More importantly, according to Father God, as long as the new empire has a void creature sitting in command, there will be no big troubles: void creatures are almost immune to the pollution of the abyss, and can even purify them in reverse. As long as my spiritual power is still reverberating in the spiritual network of the new empire, it is impossible for the abyss to spread catastrophically. The super outbreak that caused the collapse of the old empire caused many Xiling technicians to have psychological shadows. Now they can relax a little up.
Tavel mentioned that the number of staff in the research center is still sufficient, but there is a lack of powerful super hosts to assist in data processing. Now this problem has also been solved: six super-evolved mass-produced hosts have entered new jobs, namely Help Tavel reverse engineer the blueprint of the deep submersible ship that is still incomplete. The feedback information shows that the six little sisters are working very well. It seems that they have taken another step on the road of evolution after being a guest at home. of. Sandora speculates that this is because the previous super-evolved hosts were not sure whether the changes they made would be trouble or wealth for the empire, plus they were worried that they would be sent to disintegrate for research. They were very disturbed and could not exert their full potential Strength, after gaining the direct affirmation and intimate contact with the leaders of the empire and his own mother, these mass-produced machines that already have a "heart" are no longer burdened, so they have 100% exerted their performance. This is a very interesting explanation, but it is more difficult to verify, because it is speculated that there are a hundred or so mainframes that also have a tendency to evolve, and I can't stand a hundred brats making trouble at home anyway—it's really here On that day, I applied for political asylum in Zimbabwe!
Autumn is coming to an end. The weather is getting cooler every day. When I got up early, I wore a cool dress when I went out. When I came back, I told me that she had gained 2% on the road. Hundreds of heads turned back, and I continued to move a horse and sit in the yard as always, sipping hot tea, watching the sun that was not so majestic, and commemorating another year that was about to go away.
Then, a petite and beautiful girl with a ponytail suddenly appeared in my sight—she flashed past the gap on the far right of the courtyard wall, and then the figure jumped along the row of gaps: she was approaching the courtyard wall door.
When I was still curious about who this girl was, and was able to ignore Sandora's mental interference, there was a knock on the door.
Just like the rehearsal in advance, Yakumo quickly gathered her tail and ran back to the house with her fried tofu and dog food biscuits. Anweina, who was learning to lay eggs with the crow couple, flew to the roof. Stuffed it into her pocket and told her not to come out casually, then confirmed that the mercury lamp was not dangling outside, and finally opened the door with a smile on her face.
Outside the door, a petite girl with a long ponytail and dark purple hair smiled like a huā.
I quickly glanced at this handsome girl in a black windbreaker: "Our house has no water meter, no electricity meter, and the Internet fee has been covered for three years. There is no need for water delivery or insurance. The child's kindergarten problem has been solved. Please ask for directions. Uncle Wang across the street... "
The purple-haired girl suddenly patted my shoulder hard, and shouted loudly: "Haha, you are so interesting—is Xing Chen here! Xing Chen! Xing Chen!! Xing Chen, come out!!!"
