I handed over to another world

Chapter 420 Fixed closing time

Chen Lin quickly set off after receiving Professor Yu's reminder. Although there were not many flying equipment stored on top of the Sky Fury aerospace aircraft carrier, there were still aircraft that could allow them to move quickly. Xiao Wu collected them while running behind. When the news came from the aerospace aircraft carrier, they told them where to go, and the Suzaku aircraft was ready for them.

Xiao Wu quickly followed up to remind Chen Lin. Before Chen Lin could ask for directions, the intelligent assistant had already given guidance signs.

In less than three minutes, the group of people rushed to the area where the aircraft was stored below. Chen Lin did not even have any obstacles along the way. The two Suzaku aircraft had been launched at this time, and the small runway in front was also cleared. The soldiers below took a look. When they appeared, they immediately sent a message to Hongshan Base. After seeing Chen Lin coming, a small group of soldiers suddenly saluted Chen Lin.

"Colonel Chen!"

However, Chen Lin waved his hand and jumped to the door of a Suzaku aircraft. "Time is urgent, no more nonsense, let's go!"

Xiao Wu jumped up immediately. After hurriedly docking with the people below, the group immediately jumped on the Suzaku flying device. Immediately, Chen Lin urged the pilot in front to take off quickly.

"What's going on now?"

Chen Lin made a sound. Xiao Wu and others remained silent. The Pioneer Intelligent Assistant that had been following Chen Lin lit up. This gadget instantly projected the surrounding area into a three-dimensional image. Hongshan Base in Shanhai City The main portal immediately appeared inside.

The size of the main portal has actually doubled compared to before. The huge portal is surrounded by a large number of lines, train tracks and oil pipelines, and even ultra-high voltage power transmission lines are erected on both sides.

At this time, the intelligent assistant used a holographic simulation screen to show Chen Lin and others the situation of the scene - the sudden closing of the portal cut off the connection on both sides, and all the lines and pipes in the portal part of Shanhai City were cut off. There was a freight train running. After realizing that something was wrong, the train accelerated to leave the teleportation gate. The closed teleportation gate still completely cut open the train car at the rear...

The explosion was due to a problem with the oil pipeline. The broken line directly caused the fire. After falling, it had a chain reaction with the oil pipeline on the ground. Several controllers quickly exploded in the fire, and the flames shot into the sky.

However, the intelligent assistant quickly updated the situation at the scene. The portal area on the Earth side was quickly brought under control. The main control center immediately stopped all transportation operations and mobilized a large number of firefighters and emergency department staff to the scene. The fire was quickly extinguished. According to the situation at the scene, the number of casualties caused by this accident would not be too many.

The situation on the Origin Star side is even better than that on the Earth side. The suddenly closed portal cut off the pipes and lines. The outpost discovered it earlier than the Red Mountain Base. It directly activated the emergency plan and forcibly closed the on-site In all transportation work, some trucks were lost, but overall it was within the tolerable range.

Chen Lin and a group of guards arrived at the portal area of ​​Hongshan Base in Shanhai City a few minutes later. The area was still under emergency martial law. A large number of firefighters and staff were still dealing with the remaining problems at the scene. Professor Yu The others calmed down the situation and hurried over to meet Chen Lin.

"what happened?"

As soon as Chen Lin and Professor Yu met, they hurriedly asked, "Why did the portal suddenly close? What test are you doing that failed?"

Professor Yu had a depressed look on his face and shook his head after hearing Chen Lin's words.

"Our research on the portal has only been carried out with those small open doors. We have never done any research on the main portal. Who knows what happened. The main portal suddenly closed. There are many people on site. No one understands what’s going on…”

"How much was the loss?"

"It's not that much, maybe a few million."

Professor Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead. After his legs and feet could run and jump, his work became busier than before. As soon as today's unexpected situation happened, he arrived at the scene as soon as possible, but professionals do professional work. The people in the emergency response department were far more professional than him. After the firefighters extinguished the fire, the situation here was basically under control.

"The association also called to ask about the situation at the scene. I can only say that it was an accident..."

"It's easier now that you're here. Let's see what's going on."

Chen Lin frowned slightly, but didn't say much. He just followed Professor Yu and a scientific research team around him and walked toward the portal.

The portal is currently closed, and a large number of workers are still busy at the scene. They are dismantling all the damaged lines and damaged facilities and throwing them aside, and cleaning up the area around the portal as much as possible.

Professor Yu whispered to Chen Lin: "The association speculates that someone used a special device to close the portal. Now the association is following this method to investigate..."

Chen Lin stepped forward and looked at the portal. He didn't notice anything strange, but the situation was still unclear. It was really inappropriate to open the main portal rashly. He turned to look at Professor Yu.

"Let's do a small test first?"

"So much the better!"

Professor Yu immediately agreed, and the two of them rushed to the experimental center not far away. There were more than a dozen small portals opened for testing. Now, as the main portal is closed, these things are all closed. Well, it's obviously not a single phenomenon.

Chen Lin directly took off his gloves, leaving only the door frame of the original portal. He touched the door frame with his left hand again, and with a slight tap, the bright green portal opened again.

"Nothing seems wrong?"

He stared at the portal for several seconds, and then said to Professor Yu, "I didn't find any other abnormalities. I'll test closing it again."

Opening the portal with his left hand and closing it with the right, although Chen Lin had not worried about the portal for more than three months, his ability was still there. At this time, he directly touched the portal with his right hand, and immediately let the bright green light inside the portal Dissipate.

But when it disappeared, the process was slow. Professor Yu noticed it after taking a look and reminded Chen Lin.

"If that's the case, then it's not because of me that these portals are inexplicably closed."

After hearing this, Chen Lin said to Professor Yu, "When I close the portal, there is always a slow process. You just said that the green inner walls of those portals suddenly dissipate, and you don't even have time to react. This It means that closure has little to do with me.”

Professor Yu nodded slightly, what Chen Lin said was true. "What's the reason? Is it really caused by our research?"

Chen Lin stared at the portal for a few seconds, and then asked Professor Yu: "How long has it been since the last time the portal was upgraded?"

Before Professor Yu even uttered a word, the intelligent assistant beside Chen Lin had already given him the answer in advance - as of last night, 1070 hours had actually passed, which is actually about forty-five days. When the portal closed this morning, the time was exactly 1080 hours.

That works out to forty-five days.

"It's been about forty-five days. The last time you came into contact with those special raw ores on the Omir continent, your abilities were upgraded. Then you used your abilities to upgrade all the portals. There may be a sequence, but overall It’s pretty much the same.”

Professor Yu figured it out at this time. He stared at Chen Lin and said hesitantly: "You mean...these upgraded portals also have time limits?"

"These small transmission doors were opened behind me. Just check the monitoring and testing data in the laboratory and verify the closing time."

After Chen Lin finished speaking, Professor Yu immediately went to the console to adjust the data and monitoring images. Some staff on site skillfully helped him pull out the data table. After comparison, several people noticed that the transmission doors were indeed closed one after another. of.

The timing of closing coincidentally coincides with the timing of Chen Lin's opening.

"In this way..."

Chen Lin touched his chin and clicked his tongue: "The closing of the portal may not be due to any external reasons, but just because the time has come for this thing."

Professor Yu was stunned for a moment, and then an indescribable expression appeared on his face: "The upgraded portal also has such restrictions?"

"We couldn't have known about this type of restrictions before. We didn't know about them until they appeared."

Chen Lin comforted him, "But this is much better than before. At first, the portal could only be opened on one side. After the upgrade, it became double-sided and can pull wires and pipes. Although there is a time limit, we can figure it out clearly. It won’t be a big deal for the association after that.”

Professor Yu nodded slightly when he heard this. What Chen Lin said was very reasonable.

He personally took the video and pictures of the small portal, and then hurriedly called the association to talk about it. Chen Lin did some testing and data comparison at the scene, and confirmed that the portal was open properly. Due to the time limit, I settled down and prepared to wait for the notification to open the main portal again.

A few minutes later, Professor Yu Linyu hung up the phone.

"The association already knows what's going on. Let's test opening the main portal first. Some simple tests still need your help. We are currently just giving the most likely guess. If after a new round of upgrades, The portal can only be opened for forty-five days, so we may be able to control the opening and closing of the portal by artificially closing it."

Professor Yu spoke out to Chen Lin, but a staff member behind him raised his head and spoke to several people: "The data may not be right. The time when we opened the portal before and the time when it was closed this time are not the same." Not the standard forty-five days..."

Chen Lin signaled him to move the time forward. Before the ability was upgraded, the portal was frequently opening and closing. If the current opening time and battery life were related to that time, they would need to recalculate the time. .

The staff quickly retrieved the earlier data. Every time the door was opened, there were detailed records. They compared the time according to Chen Lin's instructions, and after a lot of trouble, it was indeed measured. A data infinitely close to 1080 hours.

"There shouldn't be much difference in time. At that time, the time changed more frequently. At first it was three days, then it was six days, and then it was three or nine... I have almost forgotten the time rules for opening the door."

Chen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. Professor Yu in front of him stared at the data displayed on the computer for dozens of seconds. Finally, he raised his head after hearing Chen Lin's words: "It's a time limit. It's been a long time since your last transmission." There are a total of forty-five days since the door was opened. Due to something happening at the Hongshan Base, you frequently traveled in and out of the two places. This time should not be counted in the closing time of the portal..."

He pointed at the data above and compared it carefully with Chen Lin. Chen Lin tried hard to recall it, and vaguely remembered that he frequently traveled between the two planets in those days, and he didn't know what to do specifically. remembered.

The two finally confirmed one thing repeatedly - that is, the fixed closing time of the portal after the upgrade is 1080 hours, which is forty-five days.

This closing time is not affected by closing and opening in the middle. When the time is up, it will automatically close, making them have to open the portal again...

Professor Yu pulled out the data and looked at it several times, and finally came to the conclusion that even the closing of the portal at this time was included in the calculation, but fortunately they had records of the time when the portal was closed this time, so they would not say the next time I was in a hurry when I forcibly closed the portal, and I ended up just like today.

"Why didn't this problem happen when we had a single-sided portal before?"

Chen Lin saw that everyone was still busy looking at the data, and couldn't help but ask Professor Yu. He responded without raising his head: "Explain that it is a new rule. The previous portal was three to five days old." It is turned on in rotation, and no lines or other things can be connected in the middle. Even if it is turned off, the impact on us will not be much. "

"After the upgrade, the portal will be open on both sides, and lines and pipelines can be connected in the middle. Freight trains will not stop every day, which will have a huge impact."

Professor Yu closed his eyes and let himself rest as much as possible. He said to Chen Lin: "It is very likely that this restriction only came about after the portal was opened on a regular basis. This situation did not exist before... But what happens next? The impact will not be too great. Now that we all know its operating rules, the association and the base should make corresponding preparations."

"The lines and pipes connecting the two places should be changed into special interfaces to facilitate disconnection and reconnection at any time..."

"By the way, the most important thing is actually your side."

Professor Yu opened his eyes and said tiredly to Chen Lin: "You need to come back every forty-five days. I understand what happened at the portal. I can't do it without you. Your boy's mission It’s still very heavy!”

Chen Lin smiled but said nothing. Since the situation was like this, he had nothing to say.

He thought that the portal could continue like this forever, and he could just hang out leisurely in the next days. Who could have imagined that such an unexpected situation would occur, but it once again raised Chen Lin's importance to the top... …
