Chapter 493 Investigation

Eight obelisk-like devices are the last valuable legacy of this commercial spacecraft, and people don't want to give them up directly.

Especially inside the obelisk, there are still supporting equipment such as the machine room that have not been destroyed, and there must be a lot of information inside!

"Let the spacecraft pull these things out first... to prevent them from being swallowed by the star." Yu Yifeng ordered.

After making up their minds, the military began a large-scale transportation activity.

Some small robots were quickly put on the "obelisk", and nano ropes were flexibly tied to it. Then, more than a dozen high-powered transport spacecraft pulled and towed it.

It is not a difficult technology to tow several two-kilometer-long objects.

Under the guidance of the spacecraft, the elliptical orbits of these obelisks began to slowly reduce their eccentricity. After rotating around the star for fifteen consecutive weeks, they finally broke free from gravity.

They ran towards the outer space and never returned.

"Let them fly farther away first. Anyway, these spacecrafts don't have curvature engines. Even if they are controlled by Quinton, they can't escape. Keep a close watch and see if there are any abnormal phenomena!" Yu Yifeng issued another military order.

Now people are still worried about the possible attachment of "Quinton" in the device... People are only half-knowledgeable about this kind of super life, and no matter how careful they are, it is not too much.

"According to my thinking, we are not more powerful than this Huantai civilization. We don't have extraordinary scientific and technological levels, nor do we have unique technology... If the super life Quinton invades the mothership, it may end up the same... Although most of its body has been destroyed, it is still unknown whether it has the ability to proliferate."

Security Minister Xu Yunjin spoke first, and his face was not good.

It's a very simple truth. Can the new humans solve something that an old interstellar civilization can't solve?

Most likely... No!

Don't think you are too smart.

The group of scientists below are also frowning, and they know this truth deeply. Whether in terms of experience or skills, the new humans are not very good. At most, they have gone a little further on the road of nanoscience, but only a little.

How can these obelisks prove that they are safe?

A scientist listed the difficulties on the screen and said, "Except for the few machine rooms on the outermost side, most of this device is sealed. If you want to enter and investigate, you must use a micro robot... I think Quinton will definitely not be fooled this time and will not modify our detection content."

"I think if Quinton exists, he will definitely not be fooled this time and will not modify our detection tools at will... So, can we use robots to detect it?"

People discussed this issue for a long time and finally believed that... it is still not feasible!

People have been searching for such a large body in commercial spacecraft for three years and have used various methods, but they have not found it, let alone now?

"You can give it a try... Although this time, the search range is much smaller, only two kilometers... After the robot comes out, it still needs to be destroyed."

At this time, Yu Yifeng spoke up and expressed his objection: "If it exists... it will inevitably remain silent, even for years or decades. If it becomes a piece of metal, or a silicon-based chip, how can our robots investigate it clearly? Don't have too high expectations."

"If you really want to study and use it, you must add more people and send out real scientists. The test site should be around the mothership!"

"The most important thing is that it has parasitic ability... If our heavyweight scientists are parasitized during research... You should know how serious the consequences are, right? So, you must think of a better and more rigorous way."

Yes, these are the biggest difficulties at present.

The voices in the meeting were buzzing, and one reconnaissance plan after another was proposed and rejected one by one.

If Quinton can really mimic a dead object, it would be extremely difficult to find an abnormal metal as big as a quail egg on a two-kilometer object.

"The key is that we don't know what it is... It would be nice if we had some targeted information." Dr. Rambo said dejectedly.

Until now, people still don't know whether Quinton is a silicon-based creature, a metal-based life, or both?

This feeling of seeing a treasure but not being able to use it is really too bad.

Even Yu Yifeng was a little unhappy. He frowned and asked himself secretly: "Do you really want to... give up?"

He was not willing.

He really knew the precious value of these devices. If you get and activate them, you can not only obtain the dark matter deflection shield, but also greatly increase the speed of curvature navigation, which is equivalent to... "Escape Invincible"!

Isn't it just for these devices that I spent so much thought?

If I can "Escape Invincible", I can smile even in my dreams.

But he doesn't want to take too many risks.

A sinister and cunning life like Quinton, can't really see the intentions of the new humans?

If there is no intention, humans can just run away. After a year, the stars will devour everything. Why use nanoworm weapons and make a big fuss?

The people sitting in the conference room are all smart people, so naturally they can't have any fluke mentality.

Their moods were slightly heavy, and they quietly discussed the pros and cons of all plans. People suddenly discovered that no plan is safe and no method is reliable.

"What do we have that others don't?" Yu Yifeng suddenly asked when everyone was at a loss.

Before anyone could say anything, he was already asking and answering questions to himself excitedly:

"We do have something that other civilizations don't have. That is...Gaia's biological spirit!"

"Ling can carry out all-round investigation at the most microscopic level. She is not as easy to fool as a robot. Moreover, Ling's core is inside the Noah, so she is not afraid of her brain being parasitized and controlled. She can just set up a branch outside. Already working."

"Is this okay?" Xu Yunjin frowned and questioned: "It is too dangerous to transport these eight devices into the Noah!"

"Listen to me... it's not like this." Yu Yifeng waved his hand: "... but build a larger container outside the mothership!"

He enthusiastically drew a rectangle on the screen: "This is our mothership."

Then he drew a smaller rectangle around it: "This is the container, and the two are connected with water pipes..."

In this plan, the "obelisk" was first stuffed into a sealed container, and then filled with seawater filled with seaweed, allowing Ling to conduct all-round reconnaissance.

"It's just that these instruments will be immersed in seawater, and it is unknown whether they will break down by then. In theory, new human military products have the ability to operate in extreme situations, but alien products cannot resist No one knows about sea water.”

"It doesn't matter, even if it is damaged by soaking, it still has great reference value for us, and it is possible to repair it!" Dr. Rimbaud immediately jumped up and shouted a little fanatically: "As long as it is safe!"

Several other experts also agreed. They believed that this solution was extremely feasible! The meeting room became more and more lively, and the depression of Qian Qian was gone. Only Xu Yunjin was still a little sullen and couldn't let go.

Yu Yifeng continued: "There is another difficulty...it is necessary to use a large water pipe tens of thousands of kilometers long to connect the mothership and the container. Otherwise, Ling will not be able to control the seaweed. This water pipe is the only channel to connect the inside and outside of China. Keep a close eye on it and don’t let anything escape!”

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem. If you can't defend even a water pipe, it's better not to mess around."

In this way, through very detailed discussions on this plan, all theoretical obstacles were eliminated one by one. When all the details were resolved and finally put on the agenda, even the most worried Xu Yunjin had no way to refute.
