Chapter 1040 Tavel Who Can’t Rest

I don’t know if our deep dive plan is a complete success this time - in fact, we have achieved the original goal of conducting a deep dive to test the performance of the experimental model of the deep submersible and collect data from the deep abyss for use Build the next more powerful deep-submersible ship, obtain more than two effective databases, and finally safely evacuate the test site - now these goals have been completed, but the unplanned situation is that we lose a test universe with superior conditions.

This loss is not unbearable, and it has not affected the income of the entire deep dive plan, but when we think that it is the fallen apostles who are causing trouble, we feel like we have a knot in our throats. Sandora is especially angry. She has sent three times the number of troops to guard the empire. Every abyss gate used for scientific research in the territory is to prevent the fallen apostles from suddenly emerging from these gates. However, other than that, she has no other way: the empire currently does not have the ability to form an army that can fight in the abyss. fleet capabilities.

After getting rid of the abyssal power that might be contaminated with our bodies (this made me feel as if I had just walked around a severely plagued area), the three of us went to the Shadow City Headquarters, where everyone was already waiting. In the officer's lounge, I saw Qian Qian, who was lying lazily on the sofa and humming. She had no self-consciousness about the mistress of the empire. In such a serious military place, she did it openly in front of several guards at the door. Playing with a doll, the doll resisted very fiercely. In order to stop Qian Qian from continuing to put strange little clothes on her body, feathers were fluttering all over the floor: Well, the doll is a mercury lamp.

"Ah. Arjun...ah..."

Seeing us coming in, Qianqian's eyes immediately lit up. One second she was lying lazily on the sofa, and the next second she jumped up and rushed into my arms. Unfortunately, as soon as she stood up, her steps faltered and she fell to the side unsteadily. The mercury lamp had just escaped from the poisonous claws, and before it could fly far away, Qian Qian subconsciously grabbed its ankle. They fell to the ground together, and the little doll was shocked. The wings on my back were flapping desperately, trying to fly up, while blushing and shouting at me for help: "Help...help...it's so heavy...come and take care of your wife!"

I quickly stepped forward to help Qian Qian up, and saved the little lamp at the same time. The puppet girl sat on my shoulders in shock, and after a beating, she flew into my sister's arms and glared at us both. She smiled apologetically: "Ah, ha, It seems like my legs are still a little weak..."

Always full of energy. It was like Qian Qian, who had taken 20 pounds of stimulants with chicken blood, and now she looked tired and even pale. I could feel that when she leaned in my arms, she almost didn't use her own strength at all, and she was simply paralyzed. What's on her body - well, where did this girl get the strength to toss around the mercury lamp just now? Is bullying my daughter a free skill?

"What's your sense of propriety when things like this happen?" I carefully helped the girl in my arms to lie down on the sofa. The latter simply rested her head on my lap and narrowed her eyes. It was impossible to blame anyone, "You weren't hurt, were you?"

I'm very worried. What Qian Qian did today can be said to be unprecedented. Single-handedly suppressing an abyss gate that has gone berserk. Even a high-level true god has to consider whether he can come out alive. Even Qianqian's special abilities make her qualified for this almost impossible task. She also has to bear a lot of pressure and risk. The Gate of the Abyss didn't hurt her when it collapsed, right?

"It's okay," Qian Qian completely ignored the gazes of the people around her and happily moved back and forth in her lover's arms, not even bothering to open her eyes. "Ajun, have you forgotten? I am the master of time. The gate of the abyss bursts at the fastest speed. No matter how fast it is, it is not as fast as the smallest unit of time. To me, it is just a series of still pictures. I can always find the opportunity to escape. I am just mentally exhausted. That thing is so destructive that time can be destroyed. It pollutes - I have to constantly create new time vortexes to make the Gate of the Abyss jump back and forth between two points in time. Ah ha, it's quite interesting. This is my new trick, it's called exhaustion. How about -3000 if you don't pay for your life? With two time points, I can make a target repeat between the two time points. At the same time, I can also choose to let the target retain or not retain its own changes produced by each repetition. That's it. It's like repeating AB... Huh, this is a trick I forced when I was suppressing that door... I'm a little sleepy... I'll take a nap first..."

As he spoke, Qian Qian's voice gradually deepened, and was eventually replaced by a slight snore.

I couldn't react because of this girl who was jumping around when talking and doing things. I could only raise my head awkwardly and smile at the people around me, but Bingtis nodded thoughtfully: "I discovered something. When she was with you, Qianqian never considered the surrounding environment. Her world must not be big, at most two and a half meters around you." What the hell is this accurate data about?

"That's probably it," Sister smiled softly and poked my arm, "Maybe for Qianqian, Ajun is almost her world. When she was a child, she would be thrown into our home every now and then. I have grown up with Ajun to take care of me. Over time, I will develop a habit, and my true nature will be revealed when I am around Ajun and me..."

"Ahem, let's talk about the Gate of the Abyss." I scratched my hair in embarrassment, feeling that my sister was quite embarrassed to mention these things. "There are also fallen apostles. They appeared under our testing ground. , this needs careful analysis.”

Sandora glanced at Qian Qian with envy and muttered: "Just change the subject." Then she became serious, "Now I guess those spaceships are not special cases. The engineering team saw all the fallen apostles under the Gate of the Abyss." Three spaceships, obviously a formation, including an armed warship, an auxiliary communication ship, and a spacecraft for scientific investigation. The scientific research ship is unmanned, and I don’t know about the other two ships. Is it the same situation? At the same time, we don’t know if there are other ways to combine this kind of team. It seems that the mission of these three ships should be scientific research - this is my judgment. In most cases, a If there is a unit in the team that has no combat effectiveness and is dedicated to scientific research, then the position of this team must be scientific research..."

"Why?" Lin Xue didn't react at once and asked smoothly. Before Sandora could speak, Xiao Xue, who was sitting next to Lin Xue and hugging Lin Xue's shoulders, started shouting: "Hey. Mom, what do you think? I've never heard of it. There are presidents who take two guards with them when they go out. Who has ever heard of a guard taking two presidents with him when he goes out..." This girl's sharp words are very much like her mother's.

Shandora nodded: "That's the reason. A military team will not bring a lagging scientific research vessel - of course sometimes we will bring field engineers. This situation is different."

Immediately I remembered that magical bearded man. I thought he should be included in the military unit...

"If this is a scientific expedition team, then their configuration is obviously much more advanced than ours: the fallen apostles have been able to create a variety of ships adapted to the abyss environment, and control them perfectly: the engineering team previously reported that they destroyed the spacecraft There is a ship equipped with a large number of high-power antenna arrays. That ship should be used to communicate with the mainland in the abyss. It may even be the prototype of some kind of fleet communication hub. The fallen apostles may form an abyss fleet. This is A very bad conjecture. In addition, we should all remember one thing. The abyss is thought of as a closed and dark spherical shell. The orderly world is located on the surface of the spherical shell. The gate of the abyss is the spherical shell. Holes that accidentally appear on the spherical shell. As long as they master the technology of precise positioning and remote communication in the spherical shell, the fallen apostles will have the ability to suddenly rush out of any hole and attack any world where they have the coordinates. And this kind of The raid cannot be stopped midway, even if we know their plans - there is currently no technology that can prevent the Abyss Gate from opening."

"Don't you have the technology to actively open the door to the abyss?" My sister suddenly said. Then the atmosphere dropped.

Sandora was solemn: "It would be too bad if the fallen apostles really mastered this technology... They would truly become like the abyss, freely opening doors, destroying, and plundering in any world... I don't Would love to see something as bad as that.”

"Please allow me to express my opinion. Their technology should be very immature now," Sivis's voice came from the door. She was still wearing the neat uniform of a senior officer, always looking smart and capable. "It may not even be comparable to the current New Empire." Before we could ask about this astonishing judgment, she had already taken the initiative to explain: "According to the report of the engineering team, the size of the three enemy ships that appeared opposite the Gate of the Abyss was Both the performance and performance are inferior to the abyss work ships manufactured by the empire, and are only at the level of light assault ships. This should not be a design requirement, but a technical limitation. The most obvious feature is that they need to hand over the communication of the spacecraft team to a specialized antenna platform , a small spacecraft without any offensive and defensive capabilities, carries dozens of high-power antenna towers to ensure the connection between the other two small ships and the base. Isn’t this design quite clumsy? In an abyssal environment, the distance between ships Cooperation is very difficult. As the distance increases, the abyss disturbance increases several times. Just like sailing in a storm, the boat may capsize at any time, and important units including communication arrays may also be easily destroyed. The best choice is It is to create a warship that can withstand powerful storms, and store communications, weapons and various auxiliary facilities in a highly secure environment. This is not a simple giant ship doctrine, but common sense that should be possessed when resisting storms."

"So, the fallen apostle cannot build a larger abyss ship, is that what you mean?" Sandora looked into Sivis's eyes, "Indeed, your analysis makes sense. I am used to making things worst. The direction of the plan seems to be too bad this time.”

"Necessary vigilance is still indispensable," Sivis said seriously. "My subordinates have set up heavy troops near all abyss gates in the territory in accordance with your order. At the same time, the Garden of Death system has also increased its monitoring efforts to provide early warning within the territory at any time. The newly generated Gate of the Abyss. Another reason why my subordinates made these judgments is that there was news from the research institute. Chief Tavel initially judged that the enemy ship sample brought back by His Majesty has a technical bottleneck, and it seems that the fallen apostle has not yet Signs of breaking through this bottleneck..."

Me: "...Isn't her efficiency a little too high?"

"You have to understand the enthusiasm of scientists for their work." Sivis held it in for a long time before he said this, "Two hours is enough for Tavel to tear into pieces anything within a radius of one kilometer."

At this time, everyone should have breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that the fallen apostle did not suddenly rise as Sandora expected undoubtedly gave everyone reassurance. However, Sandora's worries still need to be taken seriously: as an experienced strategic master, it is her habit to treat any problem with the worst expectations before it occurs. Tavel found that the fallen apostle was trapped by a technical bottleneck, which did not It does not mean that this technical bottleneck will exist forever. One day the fallen apostles will achieve a breakthrough, and by then, maybe we will really face an army wandering in the abyss. The terrifying legion will rush out from the gate of the abyss at any time to attack the real world.

"We should focus more on the deep diving plan and its subsidiary projects," Sandora said with a frown. "At least I don't want the next time a fallen apostle breaks into our testing ground, but we know nothing about it. At least we must be able to grasp the situation inside every abyss gate in the territory in real time. This task is left to scientific research Center, now our technology in this area is almost blank, and I hope to see a solution as soon as possible, even if it is just an idea."

"Your will." Sivis saluted immediately and then withdrew.

"It seems that the technology trees in the abyss field have taken two completely different paths on the empire's side and the fallen apostles' side," my sister said thoughtfully. "I just don't know whose path is more right. Now it seems that the progress of the Fallen Apostles is a bit aggressive. Their abyss spaceship must have dived in their own homeland, but it can cruise all the way to the empire's territory, even in the shallow area. , which is also a test of technical strength. Our deep submersible ships and abyssal engineering ships do not have such a long endurance, but they are better in other aspects and can be designed to be larger. And the shield capacity seems to be higher?"

My sister is not an expert in this field, so she just talks about her thoughts casually at this time. No one really knows how the fallen apostles' abyssal technology will develop, but as individuals who have been corrupted by the abyss, they are undoubtedly more unique than the empire in this regard. At least the technology that can sneak all the way from the fallen apostles' homeland to the empire's territory is It's very scary.

I guess that's why they were able to submerge in the abyss for so long. Mostly it was due to its special protection technology, which was the effect of the layer of abyssal fog that shrouded the outside of the spacecraft. This layer of fog is obviously less expensive than the "three-skinned shield" used by the Empire's deep submersible ships, and it does not conflict with the abyssal environment. It can be said that it fundamentally eliminates the possibility of being attacked by the fog whirlpools in the abyss. , at the same time, the hull itself can be integrated with the abyss environment, and it also greatly reduces the consumption of the spacecraft during propulsion - well, this is my guess, the theoretical basis is "unscrupulous guys are more likely to integrate into the group in the Shadow City, uncles wearing sunglasses" The movement speed at Erli Bridge is increased by one"...

The fallen apostles use the mist of the abyss to provide abyss resistance to the spacecraft. This approach is wonderful, but it also seems to have serious flaws: those spacecraft do not seem to have strong protection against other forms of attacks, or the fallen apostles simply do not have any protection in this regard. Be on guard. The improvised bombs assembled by Big Beard blew up both ships and turned them upside down. At the same time, because it is completely integrated into the abyss environment, once the shield of the fallen apostle's abyss spaceship is breached, it will immediately collapse completely, first being killed by its own abyss fog. A brick that Bingtis originally intended to penetrate the power pack of the spacecraft actually directly destroyed the entire spacecraft. This was something we did not expect.

So whether this technology is of value to us, we can only wait for Tavel's analysis report.

Big Beard made a decisive decision in this incident and solved a potential crisis (although it later turned out that this crisis did not exist). He was later credited with a credit. I think he is a talent, especially in the field of military technology; Big Beard I also admitted that he was more interested in studying bombs and cannons than studying abyss theory, so I suggested to Tavel that this guy should lead a new ordnance research group, and the research direction would be various types of abyssal environments. Weapons that can still be used - this project sounds easy, because it is not difficult to destroy the target in the abyss environment, as evidenced by Bingtis' brick, but in fact this is also a difficult subject that needs to be tackled: the abyss In this environment, all destructive behaviors are no longer certain. Weapons are indeed bound to achieve destructive effects, but this is completely uncontrolled. Conventional attacks are likely to be amplified by the abyss environment more than ten times if they fall on the enemy. It's okay, but it's more likely that it will fall on your own head - if you fire a cannon, it's very likely that half of you will be blown away first. Don't think that having various shields against the abyss means you can sit back and relax. Facts have proved that in an environment that is completely inconsistent with common sense, any shield is not so reliable. The sudden loss of two escape towers on the engineering ship under normal circumstances is clear evidence of this. Later careful inspection proved that the escape tower of the engineering ship was not attacked by the fallen apostles when it disintegrated. They were destroyed when the engineering ship threw a set of inducing beacons. The process of throwing out the inducing beacon requires destroying two sets of one-time locking gates on the engineering ship. This destruction process is believed to be affected and amplified by the abyss, resulting in the destruction of the engineering ship's escape tower.

How the abyss can still affect the escape tower of the engineering ship despite being blocked by shields, and even cause structural damage to the latter, is a mystery that needs to be explained. We can be absolutely sure that the shield system of the engineering ship is effective and can operate normally in the abyss environment. This cannot be faked, but it definitely has unknown loopholes. Tavel has organized experts to re-examine the blueprints of the abyss barrier device and compare these blueprints with the original deep-submersible prototype ship, hoping to find areas that have been overlooked by us. This may be another task with a heavy workload, Tavel I gave up my vacation again - a few days ago I agreed with Shandora to let Tavel and the main scientific researchers have a good rest for a few days after the first phase of the deep diving project, but the subsequent projects fell one after another. The progress of the apostles in the abyss field has made the generals press harder and harder, and this promise seems to have failed again.

Tavel herself doesn't think so. She likes to work and enjoys the joy of harvesting results after working tirelessly on difficult problems. However, I always feel a little bit guilty about it.

I can only hope that the Fallen Apostle can calm down a little and stop causing trouble for us all day long... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine. The biggest motivation.)
