Black Sky

The angle of the miniature camera device hidden by Saer Young has slightly changed. When he turned it straight forward, Chu Si could see dozens of figures walking in front of him through the lens, all of them were protected. He wears a mask and goggles on his face, and is tightly wrapped from beginning to end. Only his height and general body shape can be seen. It is really difficult to tell which is Elder Shao and which is Jiang Qi from the back.

The place where they are located is a track that seems to be old. It should be buried somewhere underground. There is a lighting lamp embedded in the metal wall every other way.

Saer Young tapped his fingers rhythmically near the earplugs under the cover of the overlapping footsteps in the track.Because of the mask, he knocked very lightly again, which sounded a little vague, but he could still hear him clearly if he was focused.

The monitoring room directly intercepted this synchronized recording, denoised and amplified it, and after two clarification treatments, a series of rhythms similar to Morse code were obtained.

Truth was educated in a regular military academy, and he was born in a training camp. He could know the content of the sentence without the need for translation by specialized personnel in the command center.

"There is a man-made space-time curve near Fort Barney, and the end point is where I am now. I suspect it is underground under Fort Barney."

"Man-made space-time tunes?" When everyone heard this term, they were stunned for a while.

Tang Wei asked: "Is it the artificial space-time curve that I understand? Isn't that only in the theory?"

Man-made space-time tracks were a research hotspot nearly a hundred years ago, but they were soon put on hold.

This kind of track research was originally aimed at some high-secret projects. People wanted to hide some extremely confidential things somewhere below the surface, so as not to be detected by miscellaneous people or interstellar spies as much as possible. Any passage or physical gate, but directly at a certain point in time and space as an invisible entrance like air.Then create an invisible exclusive space-time track that leads directly to the secret space underground.

The whole process is a bit similar to a transition in space, an instantaneous transfer to another point in time and space.

The confidentiality of this method is indeed extremely high, but in the end it failed to transform from theory to reality because the technical requirements for tools have never been able to break through.

Ordinary aircraft or transition capsules can’t pass through that space-time curve at all. The speed is not enough, the resistance is too large, the volume and mass, etc. are difficult to meet the standards. There are many problems, and there is only one result-that is, they will be twisted when they enter the space-time curve. Scum, death of man and machine.

Shao Heng suddenly said, "No wonder...I finally know why they used the Black Swan, which was retired directly."

He pointed at the screen and turned his head to rush to Chuss: "Remember? The flaw of the Black Swan is that the entire fuselage is too narrow. Compared with other aircraft, it looks like a thin knife. People stay inside. It is very uncomfortable, but on the other hand, the resistance it suffers in time and space is unprecedentedly small. Look at the previous jump speed."

Indeed, from this point of view, the Black Swan fits perfectly in time and space.

"But since it fits so well, why did you retire directly at the time?" Zilder Fong and the other two deputy commanders sorted out the rhetoric about the military, and said, "Even if it is not suitable for combat use, it can be used as Special type aircraft, dedicated to time and space, so that the research that had been popular for a while would not be so stranded. And I always remember that some problems were discovered in production."

Bystanders know that sometimes it is easier to discover the key points when listening to certain conversations as a third person than as a topic participant.

In the conversation between these two people, Chu Si seized a few key words and integrated another guess.He hugged his arm and looked at the screen of Sae Young, and said, "Since all the weirdness discovered now are based on experiments around time, we might as well tie the Black Swan to it. Maybe the original manufacturing The intention was to experiment with time, but in actual production, it was found that it failed to meet this original intention in some aspects, so it was directly retired."

"These guesses are wrong or right. It doesn't matter." Truss reminded. "Le Pen is already on his way to expeditiously. If the guess is correct, Fergus, the former chief designer of the Black Swan, is on her aircraft. , Who else knows the inside story better than a designer?"

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and even though Truth briefly explained the current situation to them in a few words, they still felt a little weird.Not rationally, but simply perceptually, I feel so surprised.

Then Shao Heng sighed: "Fuck? Yes-the designer is tied back by us!"

Truth corrected his words: "Please."

"Oh, please come back."

Tang was even more dreamy: "I still can't imagine Jin and that little girl actually..."

Truth ignored them, urged Zild Von and the others with his eyes, and then looked at Sae Young's screen again.

If they suddenly disappeared from the star chart and walked on a time-space curve, it is understandable why everyone wears protective clothing, even if the Black Swan has an advantage over other aircraft and will not be twisted into slag in the time-space curve. It may cause human injury.

but--

Truth frowned and reopened the two-way conversation, lowered his voice and said to Sae Young, "Aren't you on my aircraft? No injuries?"

When Sae Young went to hunt down the Black Swan team, he drove an exclusive aircraft under the name of Truth, but he pulled on a black swan as a guise and disguise.That exclusive aircraft is top in defense and attack, but it definitely does not have the advantage of a black swan. As long as it enters the time and space, it will definitely break.

So how did he follow the group of people in the black swan to the destination safely?

After all, the Black Swan team's move into time and space was very sudden, and no one expected this.No matter how great Saer Young is, he doesn't have mind-reading or prophecy, and he wouldn't be transferred into the black swan just before entering the space-time curve, right?

Perhaps there was a hint of worry in his tense voice, Sae Young gave a light smile under the mask, and tapped his fingers again with a string of answers—

"Relax, you forgot the characteristics of the finished product?"

The characteristics of the finished product...

The research draft stated that Sae Young, as the only finished product at the time, could shorten the time.Truth knew that Sae Young meant to remind him that he would not die, but when he recalled the content of the draft, Truth's attention was on another point—

It was said in the draft that the current stage product they had expected was the ability to shorten the time, and the way was passive.It's just that Sae Young surpassed their expectations and developed a side of autonomous control, and even added extraordinary wound healing power.

It didn't mention the specific difference between passive and active, but there was one sentence in the trigger mode that was near death.

At that time, Truss didn’t think about the connection between the triggering method and immortality, and now he suddenly understood the meaning of “will not die”, because when he reached the dying state, it would automatically trigger an instantaneous backtracking and return to the most dangerous choice. Point, maybe he can change a choice to avoid the subsequent danger, and if he does not change it forcibly, it is equivalent to being trapped at the dying point and becoming a permanent prisoner in the time cage.

So the abilities that the experiment forced him, he didn't use it.

In the understatement of Sae Young, Truss can imagine what he had experienced during the previous period of black screen-riding an ordinary aircraft into the space-time trajectory, then being crushed, man and machine dead, in death At the moment, time automatically traces back to the time before entering the space-time track, and everything has to be repeated again.

Will he immediately realize that the aircraft should be changed once again?

I'm afraid I can't...

He appeared in front of the camera, dressed like all the people on the Black Swan. Such a result is how many times he has come back to it, and Truth hardly dared to think about it.

Even if time can go back, he still has to truly appreciate the pain in the process of death over and over again.

And in his decades of life, this kind of experience is probably not a lot...

Truss even began to wonder, when his countdown was cleared before, the reason why Sae Young could find the piece of the White Eagle Military Hospital among the tens of thousands of planetary debris in such a short period of time, would it be possible? ...Also used backtracking?

In the constant backtracking, we eliminated the wrong one and finally determined the correct one. At first glance, it seemed that there were only a few jumps, but in fact...

Sue Young on the other side of the screen naturally didn't know what Chu Si had been thinking about in this short moment, but after a pause, he continued to type a word--

"Your aircraft is hovering outside the entrance of the space-time curve, and a temporary silence is turned on. If the pursuit team follows, pull it back, and stop the space-time curve."

Objectively speaking, based on Sae Young's functional characteristics, he is also the best candidate for pursuers. Anyone except him is the result of plane destruction.

But Chu Si still felt regretful.

He pondered for a while, and finally whispered to Sae Young: "You... be careful, just withdraw directly if the situation is not right."

After speaking, he cut off the two-way conversation again.

Zild Feng and the others have contacted the military headquarters, and they are obliquely obscuring the military headquarters on the grounds of constantly monitoring the running state of the dragon pillar and the gathering process of planetary debris.

Chus was buckling his headset and watching the movement of the military department while watching the underground video on the screen.

Sae Young is tall, so the angle of influence is also very high. He can pass many people in front and see a corner at the end of the track-from there, turn left should be the space they are going to, at this distance and angle , Can see a corner of some large metal instruments.

When a man of medium build passed by Sue Young, he suddenly remembered what it was like. He turned his head and rushed to someone behind and asked: "Has the warning been released?"

Someone later responded: "Let it go, how can you forget such an important thing."

caveat?What warning?

Just when Chus and the others were a little puzzled, a new out-of-plane video came from the other corner of the screen that belonged to the captain of the pursuit team.

"Report, all the pursuit team arrived at the designated jump destination, in the X-112 area near Fort Barney." After the pursuit team leader finished speaking, he paused. He leaned forward to the cockpit and then hesitated: "Sir, Team Shao, we have received a danger warning to remind us that there is a time and space in front of us, the danger level is 5S, don't go forward arrogantly??

At this time, everyone in the command center was taken aback!

Is there such a kind enemy this year?Do you give warning when you encounter danger?

Everyone looked at each other. Shao Heng was the first to speak out. He came from a security force, so he could naturally understand the message that Sae Young had knocked back.So he gave the command to the captain of the pursuit team: "Enclose that time curve entrance, don't move. In addition, the commander’s exclusive aircraft is there, and it’s silent for a while. The star map is not displayed. Wait for a while. The state disappeared and the aircraft was put away."

"Roger that!"

Even if the pursuit captain thinks the enemy is a bit weird, he will not ask questions randomly, and still act according to the instructions.But Shao Heng in the command center is different.

"Sir, I am not biased towards my old man, but I really feel that no real hostile force will remind people who are chasing them that the danger ahead is to behave carefully. This is definitely not something that opposing people can do."

In fact, not only him, but others have the same idea, including Truth.

But... when you see a little bit of good behavior, you immediately put down all your guards and completely treat the other party as your own. This is definitely not something that people at the decision-making level can do.Even if you tend to trust each other from a personal point of view, you still cannot act rashly in public affairs.

During the conversation, a group of people on Sae Young's side had reached the end of the track, standing in a cold white space.

The image was turned at a few angles thoughtfully, enough for Truth and the others to see the structure of the entire space.There is about the size of a football field here. Various high-precision instruments are wrapped in a silver metal casing and stand in it. Data screens and various manual switches can be seen everywhere on the wall, floor, and overhead.And in the very center of the entire space, there is a huge metal cylinder connected from the top to the bottom. There are countless port wires extending from the bottom of the cylinder to connect a circle of seated single cabins around the cylinder.

Truth roughly estimated that there are about a hundred single cabins.

The group of people stood still on a clearing not far from the column, humming whispers sounded, and many people looked around in place, seeming to see them for the first time.

Maybe it's intuition, or something else.When Chu Si's gaze swept across the few people in the middle, one of them raised his hand and took off his mask.The exposed face carried a calm temperament, but the curvature of the corners of the mouth was a little bit natural.

That kind of maturity and ability mixed with gentle, but a little non-formal temperament is familiar to Truss.

His previous guess was not wrong...

It's really Jiang Qi.
