I was exposed for mining on Mars

Cao Guolin feels that it is impossible to create materials that can withstand the annihilation of antimatter, at least now.

And in the information provided by the starship humans, this kind of material has never appeared.

In the information returned from the Cygnus civilization's experiment with antimatter annihilation bombs, every material tested did not escape the fate of being annihilated by antimatter.

"You can't tell anything at all."

Cao Guolin circled around the fragment several times in the virtual world, but he didn't see the reason.

"We need to separate and dismantle it to get specific data."

After Cao Guolin stopped circling, he pressed an indicator on his wrist in the virtual world and said.

After Cao Guolin pressed the button, an oval-shaped blue light and shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

This light and shadow is five meters high and two meters in diameter at its widest point. In front of everyone, it looks like a giant.

"Your request has been uploaded and is awaiting a response."

After the blue light and shadow appeared, it did not directly reply to what Cao Guolin had just said. Instead, it sent this message directly to Luo Xiu, who was also on the moon.

"Your Excellency, Commander, agrees to your request and will grant dismantling authority."

Since Luo Xiu was paying attention to the changes here at this time, Cao Guolin's request had just been sent, and Luo Xiu had already replied directly through that time.

However, due to the special nature of this fragment, Luo Xiu will not bring it to the earth-moon orbit for the time being.

"This object has a high threat level and can only be dismantled at long distances outside the annihilation area."

After the base control system, which was covered in light and shadow, explained the limitations of the research, Cao Guolin and others understood it better. After all, this thing is different from ordinary substances. There is nothing wrong with being careful about the things you bring out from that area.

Who knows if this thing will explode with huge energy after it is dismantled, just like when the antimatter annihilation bomb and the 'fold' were fused, it would wrap up all the surrounding matter.

Although this idea is somewhat unrealistic, after the previous life-and-death threats, both Luo Xiu and Cao Guolin, the Blue Star human scientists, have become wiser.

So after the base control system finished talking, Cao Guolin nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started."

After Cao Guolin and others obtained the authorization, the robot in the shield ship also took out the cutting device and prepared to cut the 'survivors' in the annihilation energy zone.

In the moon's virtual world 'Dream', the base control system has built a super giant laboratory for a group of Blue Star scientists participating in this project.

Everyone can receive real-time information transmitted back from the shield ship.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the robot's cutting equipment fell directly and cut into the corner of the debris.

But just before the cutting device of the robot fell onto the fragment body, in the virtual model in front of everyone, the cutting device instantly began to shatter from the point of contact.

In an instant, the entire cutting equipment turned from a man-made device into a piece of dust, and even continued to collapse and fall.

This scene was completed in an instant, and even Luo Xiu, Cao Guolin and others who had been observing this scene did not react.

"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. It all happened too suddenly. The picture of the pieces being cut off did not appear. Instead, the equipment was directly shattered.

"Shock?"

Cao Guolin stared at the data just returned from the shield ship and said with a frown.

In the data returned by the shield ship, the cutting equipment was damaged by an extremely high vibration frequency. The moment the device shattered, it also became distorted.

If the shield ship hadn't prepared all the imaging equipment for this fragment, perhaps this space distortion phenomenon would not have been discovered.

"Is it space distortion?"

Luo Xiu, who also observed this scene through the model, couldn't believe the data returned by the base control system. If the device was really destroyed by the shock caused by space distortion, then how did this piece of debris possess this ability? ?

"Continue testing." At this time, there was no need for Cao Guolin and others to apply. Luo Xiu directly issued instructions to the base control system, allowing the shield ship far away in the orbit of Neptune to continue testing the fragments.

In the next ten minutes, the shield ship damaged a total of nine sets of cutting equipment and three maintenance robots. The reasons for their damage were all the same as the previous cutting equipment. They were directly decomposed into pieces by the shock caused by space distortion. the most basic particles.

"It has been confirmed that its surface is covered with a layer of space energy brought by folding."

After continuous comparison and analysis of data, the base control system finally came to a conclusion.

"'Folding' space energy?" Luo Xiu murmured while looking at the data listed in the base control system.

"In other words, the shock of 'folding' did not damage it, but instead covered its surface with a layer of space membrane?"

"If that's the case, it could indeed survive the antimatter annihilation zone."

Luo Xiu became even more interested in this fragment that suddenly appeared with 'folded' space energy.

If Starship humans and Blue Star humans can master this technology, they will definitely be ahead of the cruising fleet in terms of shield technology.

When the fleet of the solar system can apply the space membrane to its warships, no matter what kind of space shock or antimatter, it will not cause any damage to the ship.

But now Luo Xiu can only confirm that the energy on the fragment comes from 'folding', but what is the principle of its existence and how to apply it to the ship is a very difficult problem.

"Select 5% of the scientific researchers to conduct research on this fragment within the next year."

For Luo Xiu, this sudden appearance of a fragment wrapped in space energy brought a glimmer of hope to Blue Star's technology.

Compared with Star Gate, a technology used to travel between stars, the space membrane that can be applied to battleships is more practical.

After all, even if the principles of Star Gate are understood, it is still quite complicated to build. However, it was precisely because of the complexity of its construction that the cruising fleet did not cover the entire Orion spiral arm with star gates, and it also gave Luo Xiu a full hundred years to respond.

And more importantly, even if Luo Xiu had the ability to build a star gate, a star gate would not allow Luo Xiu to leave the solar system.

The cruising fleet can bring the Cygnus Spiral Arm and the Orion Cantilever into its sphere of influence, relying on the advance exploration of its own warships. These star gates spread across the two arms were built step by step and through the accumulation of time.
