Chapter 1,170 The Breakthrough Point of Deep Diving Technology?
In Space 22, which has been completely blocked, the Comprehensive Analysis Laboratory is like an island floating alone in the twisted space. All communication channels directly connected to this laboratory have been cut off, including even the most powerful trans-void system. Communication array and the abyss communication system that is still in the experimental stage, we have reason to believe that the shielding effect of this space on the black shuttle is even better than throwing it into a non-stop world deep in the void. But even so, I am not 100% sure that the black shuttle has been completely blocked. This thing is so weird and mysterious that it has reached the point where even the best scientists in the empire will be confused for a while, and any precautions against it are therefore necessary.
After confirming that the space was stabilized, the scientist responsible for analyzing and researching the black shuttle, who was not known to be named Victor or Tovik, ordered the blocking light network around the black shuttle to be opened. Sandora and I came to the side of the black shuttle and listened. Experts report on their current progress.
"...We are still not sure what energy the black shuttle uses. According to the guesses of the expert team, this problem is probably unsolvable. The energy it uses should only be generated in the special environment at the bottom of the abyss and can be used stably. In our world of order, this energy is being consumed faster and faster, and there is no sign of replenishment. Perhaps in the world of order, the black shuttle is completely unable to replenish itself with energy. This is a region that cannot be corrected. "Isolation," the world where the black shuttle comes from is completely different from the world of order in every rule." The senior technician turned on the holographic projection, which showed a set of relatively rough scans, "We are trying not to trigger a violent reaction from the black shuttle. We scanned as deeply as possible under the premise. This position, close to the center but slightly away, should be its energy core. All functions of the black shuttle are extracting energy from this core. This is an energy storage device. It is not an energy-generating device. Its internal readings are decreasing every moment, and no active activation phenomenon has been found in this core. It seems that the makers of the black shuttle have realized that their detectors have to be used in the world of order. It cannot be recharged. Therefore, a huge-capacity ‘battery’ was designed for it.”
"Oh, that's good news," Sandora's tone rose. "This means that 'they' can't use the resources of the Order World. If 'they' come out of the abyss, they probably won't be able to support it for long: our home field advantage is extremely obvious. .”
No matter what happens, it is Sandora's style to think about the worst first. She has already regarded the foggy fourth civilization as a potential enemy, so the starting point is that once the two sides start a war. How far can the comparison of victory and defeat be achieved? Of course, I think this kind of consideration is also necessary. The other party has spent so many thousands of years building a bridge, and the manpower and material resources consumed by the other party are probably enough to bankrupt a low-level civilization several trillion times. Therefore, I have every reason to believe that they are building this bridge. The purpose of the bridge cannot be to organize leaders' outings and develop new sightseeing projects - the other party coming here is either coming to interfere with the empire for the purpose of bilateral friendly cooperation and development, and the ultimate goal is to create a new situation of the unified void. Either they start a war with the empire with the purpose of stabilizing you first and then killing you. In the end... I am afraid that in the end, a new situation of unified void will be created.
No matter how you look at it, there is no third possibility. For such a big project, if you don’t have an earth-shattering guiding idea to encourage you, who would dare to get started, right?
"We have now determined that the black shuttle is a detector, and have probably found its information-collecting components and what appears to be a storage device," the senior technician paused. Several new pictures were brought up. In these pictures, the red halo areas at both ends of the black shuttle and several small squares distributed along the axis were highlighted. "We initially thought that the two red halos were some kind of The driving device is used for the detector to move during emergency escape, but this conjecture has been overturned: the black shuttle is only the core component of the detector system. Although it can also be regarded as a complete detector in itself, it is still just a part. , there is no separate engine on this part. The two rings of light are some kind of radar. It collects intelligence by intercepting discontinuous information layers. Preliminary judgment is that the scanning accuracy and sensing frequency range are..."
Well, it finally came to a point where I couldn’t understand it at all. So the scene was decisively handed over to Sandora, and I focused on the quietly rotating black detector. Just like when he first found it, the black shuttle was silent, as reserved as its appearance, unwilling to reveal any information. The danger test for this thing had ended the day before yesterday, so I boldly pressed my hand on its shell. I felt a slight coolness in my hand, and there was also a weak vibration. Maybe some mechanism inside was running?
How should I make this hard iron lump respond to me?
I thought about Jin Yong, Hollywood, He Shanda, Alibaba and the forty flower-picking thieves, and even Magellan and Einstein, but none of the above great experts told me how to establish a relationship with a stick. There is only one person in my mind who can provide me with some reference, and that is a FedEx workaholic named Chuck. But the problem is that Chuck is facing a volleyball, and I am facing a football - and Chuck's The volleyball is definitely not three and a half meters long.
So I was sure that I couldn't find anything from the known history that could give me any hints.
And while I was thinking so wildly, I was also doing various experiments. Although scientists have tried to stimulate it with broad-spectrum communication frequencies and various forms of physical contact before, and failed to make the latter react, I think I may be a breakthrough point: after all, the black shuttle is essentially a For your own courier, maybe it will be surprisingly easy to talk to after detecting the recipient's name again? Anyway, the ball that wrapped it before was pretty easy to talk to.
I tried many methods, such as scanning the target with my own mental power, pressing my hand on the surface of the target and silently reciting the murderous power wave fist method, making faces at the black shuttle, and talking to it about raising a naughty child is equivalent to raising a group of naughty children. The reason was that I typed Morse code on the target shell, and finally bit my finger to see if the thing could recognize its owner after dripping blood - the conclusion was that it was quite painful.
"Ajun...what are you doing?" A sudden voice in my ear interrupted my own entertainment. I turned around and found that Shandora was looking here dumbfounded. Behind her, there was The same circle of stunned scientists.
Me: "..." If I say that I am doing scientific research, do you think these scientists will collectively jump into the reactor?
"I want to try to see if this thing reacts," I put one hand on the end of the black shuttle and raised the finger that had just bitten a small hole. "I've tried the blood test, but there's no reaction at all."
Sandora looked away: "Let's continue talking about the dismantling process."
"Um, the disassembly process?" I finally heard something that seemed like I could interrupt, and quickly jumped off the platform, "Victor, do you already know how to dismantle this thing?"
The senior technician was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty... your subordinate's name is Tocqueville."
I felt quite sorry, because I had been going back and forth for a long time and couldn't seem to get the person's name right, so I laughed twice: "Oh. Haha, I'm not very sensitive to people's names. What, Torvik, you guys understand what's going on." How do I turn off the shuttle’s self-destruct device?”
The senior technician's mouth was a little stiff: "Your Majesty, your name...well, the relevant research has only made preliminary progress. Because the self-destruction device used by the black shuttle is also driven by unknown energy, so our conventional interference methods and Energy suppression methods are not very effective. Only energy skimmers that work with your power can have a certain effect. Recently, we are adjusting the output mode of the energy skimmer so that it can work better. In addition, we also A component suspected to be the 'sensor data processing group' inside the black shuttle has been found. If it is confirmed that the function of this component is correct, it will be even better news. There is no need to use an energy skimmer, just use a rapid and precise psionic energy bombardment to let those processes If the group is overloaded, the self-destruction device will be completely destroyed. Both of the above solutions will bear fruit very quickly."
Sandora and I were both satisfied with the news: this should be the only happy thing we heard after we came here. Then Sandora mentioned another issue worthy of attention:
"Have you found the secret of how this detector can survive for a long time in the abyss environment?"
The senior technician thought for a moment. Nodding slightly: "In a way, you can say that.
According to what is known, the Black Shuttle is just the core part of a large detector. It was protected by a spherical shell when it arrived in our world of order. Therefore, the Black Shuttle itself should not be in direct contact with the abyss by design. , so we estimate that we cannot derive 'their' technology in the outer shield of deep-diving ships from this thing, but we have discovered a design structure similar to core protection, which is used to ensure core safety during long-term abyss dives. . This is a structure that was just scanned by automatic equipment in the early hours of this morning, so it has not yet been reported..."
"That's what's urgently needed now!" Sandora's voice suddenly rose, and her eyes lit up. "Core protection? Are you sure there is core protection technology in the black shuttle?"
"Theoretically, this is a must." As expected from the ace assistant trained by Tavel, the dark-skinned uncle also said "theoretically." "The abyss has a special nature. No matter how strong the peripheral protection it faces, it can directly or indirectly affect the core. Therefore, there must be a more powerful and efficient adjustment system near the core of the deep submersible device to offset this. This effect is to prevent the unfortunate situation of active self-destruction of the system when the physical structure of the deep-diving device is still intact. We found two ellipsoids at the two poles of the black shuttle, which are the pointed cones extending outward from the halo. structure, it does not seem to belong to the same system as any part of the black shuttle, and it occupies a separate power supply line. The two ellipsoids were the first to start after being exposed to the abyss stimulation we simulated, and quickly moved around in the black shuttle. Another black shuttle formed on the shuttle."
"Another black shuttle?" I frowned, and nodded after thinking for a while, "Vitok, it would be better if you explain it more clearly. Why can't I understand..."
"Your Majesty, your name is Tocqueville..." the senior technician said blankly, and then shook his head, "We are not sure yet what the working principle of that device is, but every step of their working process has been Observed: Those two weird devices work in pairs. One of them is responsible for creating the information mirror. From the data characteristics, this information mirror is 100% similar to the black shuttle, while the other device is generating the information mirror at the same time. Dephasing the Black Shuttle, so that at the same coordinates, the information mirror replaces the Black Shuttle's position and 'existence' and becomes a real individual, and after a short delay. This mirror image will be contaminated by the abyss , because it is completely based on data description, and its stability is weaker than that of entities, so it is infected extremely quickly and will change its nature within a few seconds. At this time, the black shuttle cancels the dephasing and starts to create new mirrors. In this way, the whole process starts over and over again. The mirror image is always bearing most of the pollution on behalf of the main body.”
"During this process, Black Shuttle should still be affected to a certain extent." Sandora heard some clues.
"Yes, but it will only touch the abyss at the moment of creating a new image, because this system does not allow the creation of two or more images at the same time: plural 'compensators' will destroy the entire 'compensation' System. In addition, it takes time for the pair of devices to create a mirror, so the two mirrors cannot be seamlessly connected. In the short period of time when the old and new 'compensators' are replaced, the black shuttle body will still be exposed to pollution, but Overall, during the entire deep diving process, the time the system core is exposed to pollution sources has been reduced by more than 90%, and the working life of the entire detector and even the deep-diving vessel has been greatly extended."
"Great, this process sounds feasible and we really haven't thought of it," Sandora said. "Can it be copied?"
"I'm afraid it's impossible to use nether energy equipment to replicate the equipment in the black shuttle. Although theoretically the energy used by nether energy and the black shuttle has the same 'level', the working methods of the two are completely different," the senior technician regretted He shook his head, "It can only be said that its core protection method gives us an idea, letting us know that a certain method is feasible, but how to implement this process specifically, we need to organize a research and development team. Use imperial technology to create facilities with the same functions . Information mirroring technology is not complicated. The difficulty is that this system must be accurate enough and respond quickly. It must be independent from other systems of the deep submersible and cannot use a public data link, so all instructions must rely on its own micro-host. It needs to complete a large amount of calculations at the moment the pollution starts, and then create the image. We are preparing to apply for several Xiling hosts to assist in research and development, and they should be able to find a more suitable and efficient algorithm."
"Okay, the application is approved," Shandora waved her hand, "I don't need to know how many technical difficulties there are, that is your task. The priority of this project now is S, and all the support you applied for will be in place immediately to get everything done. Technical issue, this is an order.”
The senior technician immediately straightened his body and hit his chest with his fist: "Yes! Your will!"
Things on the black shuttle came to an end, Sandora and I were about to leave together. Before leaving, I looked back at the slowly rotating shuttle that was quietly hanging on the weightless platform. I didn't know if it was just wishful thinking on my part. Illusion, it seems to be able to sense my presence, but it is unwilling to react in any way... Well, of course this is an illusion, because apart from my own mindless thoughts, the black shuttle is still the black shuttle, silent. language.
One day, I'll let you talk.
"Ah, I finally feel a little better."
After coming out of the research center, Sandora's face that had been sullen all morning finally relaxed, and she put on the kind of clean smile that I was familiar with and only showed in front of people close to me, "What I thought at the time was indeed right. Well, the breakthrough point of deep-diving technology was finally found from that mysterious detector. Tavel will probably be very happy."
"I think she will be very hurt." I thought for a while and made a judgment based on the character of the girl with glasses. "She is a strong research madman. The problem that she has been stuck in a dead end for so long and has not been solved is suddenly solved by others. If a ready-made scientific and technological achievement is solved, it should be a big hit."
"Oh? She still has this kind of character?" Shandora glanced at me, "You know that research maniac quite well - it is said that because of his workaholic, Tavel's social circle is incredibly narrow. I didn't expect there to be anyone else. Know her so well.”
I giggled, thinking that Sandora might have forgotten what Tavel looked like as a college girl during her last vacation. Everyone has an unknown side, especially those who usually seem mysterious and difficult to contact. Once you see their other side, the world view may even be reshaped: Until the third grade of elementary school, I always I thought the teacher knew everything. Later, our head teacher took a week's sick leave after eating sprouted potatoes, and I realized that they also have that kind of thing...
In a slightly happy mood, Sandora and I ate some street food and street food stalls outside to fill our stomachs before going home. As soon as we arrived in the living room, I discovered that something exciting might have happened again.
The little crow was sitting obediently on the sofa with his head lowered. On the coffee table in front of her sat a mini crow holding a green vegetable seedling and gnawing on it. The thing on the head of this mini crow was not an eggshell. But... something that looks like an eggshell but has a very subtle texture.
When my sister saw me coming in, she pointed at the little creature on the coffee table: "Our stupid bird has done something good again - she hatched it with a ping pong ball."
