Chapter 440 Phlogiston Submarine
"Grandma, why do I need so many boiled eggs?"

He asked the heavenly soldiers outside the can to check it, and sure enough, there was no Vulcan core inside. It was all "peaches", raw melon eggs, and not even boiled eggs.

After a while, he threw all these torpedoes back from the sky.

"Take it back, take it back, and put it in my place."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" The captain named Marcus bowed to Shangluo again. This was the fifth time he bowed in half an hour. "I really... really can't see it. . From our perspective, there is no way to tell who you are."

"I understand, I can understand that it is a reasonable choice for you to shoot first in an unfamiliar environment. But I have to find someone to compensate for this loss - you should know this, right? This is not some new world you discovered, this is ours Sandbox. You mess around in it, and you have to figure out what to do next."

"I understand, I understand." He smiled along with him, "You don't have to worry about compensation at all. The Oracle or the Senate will definitely satisfy you. But I still have a question. What is today? I have been out for so long. Can I borrow your phone first? I want to make sure my family is safe."

"Today is December 8rd."

"Huh?" Captain Marcus was stunned. "August 8th? But we...but we have been trapped for a month!"

"What day did you go out? What time?"

"The 'abandon ship' ceremony will be held at 8pm on August 14th."

"Then it's 6pm."

"It turns out we've only been out for four hours!"

"Yes, based on one month of your somatosensory time, the 'absolute time' you are trapped here is about two hours. Because the time flow here is 365 times that of the outside world, and a day here is 4 minutes of the outside world. About. 30 days is 120 minutes, about two hours."

"So we can go back in time for dinner?"

"Yes." Shangluo nodded, "If you don't mind, you can stay for a meal. But what do you mean by abandoning the ship?"

"Well," he thought for a while, "Since Lord Phaethon is with you, there is no need to keep this level of information secret from you. The phlogiston submarine No. 39 in front of you, which belongs to the Athens Navy, is directly under the An independent combat unit of the Navy Headquarters. This is done not only because ours can complete the task independently, but also because of the combat mechanism of the phlogiston submarine. Our combat relies on the breakthrough and defense of the sympathetic barrier. The abandonment ceremony is part of it, symbolizing The submarine is completely disconnected from the land."

"What is the specific principle of this?" Shangluo asked.

"Have you heard of ghost ships? Ghost ships can appear anywhere, so they can appear anywhere. Our phlogiston submarine is a controllable ghost ship."

"How did you do that good guy?"

"It's very simple. From the most basic principle of confidentiality - how can we keep the whereabouts of this ship completely secret? The best way is that no one 'knows' where it is. The Ω39 phlogiston submarine is not Exists on any written record, only in the memories of a few people involved, and they will not record our existence in any written form. This is the most basic."

"So there are still advanced ones, right?"

"Yes, to advance, you need to use magic. Ordinary means are just to keep the written work confidential. This can be done anywhere. But sometimes we have to defend against some magical attacks." "This... indeed. It's very important." Shangluo nodded, "Can you tell me how the attack at these levels is carried out? Because I may also encounter such a problem."

"The method is too in-depth and specific to be classified, but the basic principle can be said: it is through the Akashic Records. We need to establish a connection with the imprint that someone left in the Akashic Records, and then trace it all the way back to his present, to As for being infinitely close to his current existence. To be specific, all characters, moments, and events can also be said to be cause and effect. Because events are fragments of the causal tree, just like moments are fragments of the timeline.”

"Cause and effect? ​​Why not place? Time, place and person seem to be easier to understand."

"You are writing a composition, but events and places are the same thing. To put it bluntly, a place is your three-dimensional coordinates on the surface of the earth, latitude and longitude, and altitude. For the Akashic Records, an 'event' is such a coordinate. Person, moment , coordinates, if you find the second of the three, you will know the remaining one."

"Ah, like a verification code, or a dynamic password? Give someone a string of numbers that changes all the time, so that as long as you see the numbers, you can directly verify that person's identity?"

"Excellent insight." Captain Marcus nodded slightly, "As expected of a colleague from Cathay, he will understand it soon."

"Well, we are indeed peers to a certain extent. So, how did you break through this? You mentioned the barriers, how did you break through these barriers? Do you want to keep tracking?"

"It's not necessary at all - this is the difference between espionage and magic. From a magic point of view, we don't need to keep track at all, because the essence of sympathetic links is hyper-distance links."

"How is it linked?"

"Ah, sorry, this is confidential."

"It can be said that the problem is not big." Phaethon said from the side.

"Can I say it? Then I said it? The method is similar to analytic geometry - analytic geometry is to tile the digital world on geometric patterns, and find mathematical solutions through the patterns. We also apply similar means. By making several contact links and determining a few points, we can predict his recent movements. Just like you can determine a circle with three points."

"Ah!" Shangluo understood, "So your way of defense is to prevent them from establishing your circle through three points?"

"Yes. And when it comes to magic, there are many special restrictions. For example, the sympathetic link between twins cannot be severed no matter what, so the twins cannot board the phlogiston submarine anyway, otherwise controlling one of them can directly Lock the other one.”

"Wait a minute. What about the parents?"

"Isn't the relationship between parents close?"

"Although the relationship between parents is very close, it is easier for parents to trust their children. For example, my mother thought that I was working as a tax collector at a certain customs in Iberia. He completely trusted me and would not doubt me. So even if they Even if I find my mother, I can't get any valuable information from her because my mother completely trusts me - so this is a mask, used to release inducing information on the causal line. Then there is the mandatory sympathetic barrier , to prevent them from using the Akashic Network for direct tracing. Our sympathetic barrier can defend against 15-layer breakthroughs, and so far there has been no record of being breached."

"Wait a minute." Shangluo suddenly thought, "But you are a combat unit after all. You have to accept orders, right? The person who gave you the order will always be on the shore, right?"

"You found a blind spot, so this is the biggest point in the phlogiston submersible system - all our orders do not come from Athens, but from the Atlantis fortress in the Atlantic Ocean. The fortress is completely independent of the Roman command structure , and has been silent on the Akashic Network for 82 years, and we ourselves don’t know how to get there. In the submersible state, we only accept the guidance of a 'light', and wherever the light shines, we will go Open. We may appear anywhere at this stage, and we usually know what to do after arriving."

As he said that, he looked at his feet: "But this is the first time we have come to another world. The most we can do is pop up in an abandoned swimming pool or something. Maybe there is a malfunction. After all, this is not the first time something has malfunctioned. If possible, I would also like to be promoted to the Fortress of Atlantis to see how the silent fortress operates. Of course, if that day comes, you may not see my people for decades. But don’t worry, the compensation issue will be handled by superiors before then, so please don’t worry.”
