Life in the collapsed world from scratch

Xiao Cangxuan: ...

She has enough reasons to believe that this man is taking revenge on her suspicion of him just now.

Who the hell is the kid?Xiao Cangxuan complained in his heart.

Chapter 260 Cheng Xi with Half Lin's Power

In view of the loss of the Plague Gem, it proved that the base's storage measures were not safe enough, so after thinking twice, Cheng Xi decided to keep the Tranquil Gem by his side.

Walter, Einstein and others agreed to his decision after thinking for a while. After all, Cheng Xi, who can create a space independent of the world, is obviously more important than a research base that is located in this world and operates on the basis of people. Proper bearer, which not even Cocolia can refute.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't those people shift their target to you, brother?" Xi'er was a little worried.

She just came back from St. Freya yesterday, and she still didn't realize that so many things happened in just a few days.

"Cheng Xi's words, it doesn't matter." Xiao Cangxuan took a sip of the coffee in his hand, smashed his mouth twice, and his eyes lit up.

I have to say that although she may not have much talent in cooking, Bella has become more and more proficient in making coffee. This may also have something to do with Sirin's recent preference for coffee.

Cheng Xi expressed dissatisfaction with Xiao Cangxuan's preference for sitting on top of his head and drinking coffee, but he didn't say much.

Just like what Xiao Cangxuan said, even if those who were thinking about the Tranquil Gem turned their attention to him because of this, it's actually not a big deal.

Regardless of his current strength, in terms of the ability to avoid risks, there is no one in this world who can match the Second Herrscher, let alone Cheng Xi who is able to control the gems of tranquility. Part of the power of death.

Thinking about it in another way, even Cheng Xi himself would feel very headache when he met an opponent who ran fast and couldn't die, let alone other people.

The power of the three cores is so terrifying.

"But...〃〃..." Xi'er didn't quite understand the twists and turns. She only had the impression of the word "dangerous" for these gems, and letting them stay with her brother was even more dangerous. .

"It's okay, Xi'er." The voice in her heart was also comforting her: "Don't you know his abilities? Not to mention that there are two identical things in his body, and nothing has happened until now? "

"……All right."

With everyone agreeing with this matter, although Xier still had some doubts, she finally nodded her head. She could only hope that she was thinking too much.

Cheng Xi heaved a sigh of relief, turned his gaze back to the screen in front of him, and asked, "Dr. Einstein, how is the deciphering of the information left by Su?"

On the screen, the blue-haired scientist shook his head and said, "Ada has put down all the projects she is currently working on, and has devoted all her computing power to the cracking work, but unfortunately it will take some time."

"However..." Einstein continued after a pause: "Because of the normal transfer of the highest authority, the Second God's Key can now be officially put into use."

"Although the important core component called 'Beacon' is missing, after analyzing and researching the Second God's Key, the leader believes that your ability should be sufficient to play a substitute role."

Cheng Xi nodded. Walter's ability is really useful in this respect. With the help of the First Herrscher's ability, anti-entropy can learn the internal structure and function of it without even dismantling the entire God's Key.Among other things, he has recently learned to develop some abilities of the Second God's Key with Walter's help.

"In other words, we can almost send Mei back?" Cheng Xi asked after thinking about it.

Xier listened with a dazed expression: Mei?

She vaguely remembered that Qiyana seemed to have mentioned this name some time ago, it seems to be the daughter of the president of Raiden, right?

What's wrong with that young lady?Where are you going to send her back?

Until now, the girl doesn't know the real name of the big sister who cooked delicious food that night.

Cheng Xi rubbed the girl's head, feeling the long-lost soft touch from her hand, feeling a little nostalgic for no reason.

Originally, girls would not be allowed to participate in discussions involving high-level organizations, but neither Cheng Xi nor Einstein cared much about it.

From Einstein's point of view, just like Xiao Cangxuan, there was nothing wrong with Xi'er, Cheng Xi's younger sister, sitting aside and listening.

She already thought so, not to mention Cheng Xi, he couldn't possibly drive out the girl who thoughtfully brought her breakfast early in the morning, right?

As for Kiyana?After finally waiting for the holiday, she probably hasn't woken up yet.

". Does Mei know about this?" Cheng Xi asked.

Einstein nodded: "She has been notified and she is ready."

How does it feel like deporting illegal immigrants?Cheng Xi complained in his heart.

"By the way, and your friend..." Einstein hesitated to speak.

"Did you say stargazing?" Cheng Xi replied (remarkably): "She has gone back now, do you have anything to do with her?"

Because of the binding of anchor points, for Guanxing, she is equivalent to being by Cheng Xi's side all the time, so it doesn't matter whether she continues to stay in this world or not, and she can go back to do her own things with peace of mind.

"No, it's just..." Einstein pushed his glasses and said, "During the few days at the anti-entropy base, she dismantled a total of twelve experimental mechs of Dr. Yes, but..."

"..."

Cheng Xi sighed: "Tell me, how many parts are there?"

"No..." Einstein shook his head: "There is an extra mini-mech."

Cheng Xi: ...

Now mechs can have babies too? .

Chapter 260 Space Elevator of "Old Era"

Cheng Xi took a look at the mini-mecha that Einstein was talking about, not to mention that it is really miniature. The short body of less than [-] centimeters is not so much a mecha, but more like a new style of armed man. I.

And when Cheng Xiyan stated that he looked quite like a certain red-haired doctor with double ponytails, Tesla's anger level, which was already suffocating, immediately reached a critical point.In her opinion, dismantling her experimental mecha and assembling a puppet that looks like herself from the parts is obviously a kind of provocative behavior.

However, Cheng Xi thinks that she may simply want to make one herself after knowing a part of the internal structure of the armed doll.

Not to mention, it's really well-done. Apart from being unable to move, there are basically no major shortcomings.

After briefly comforting Tesla in the middle of the explosion, Cheng Xi returned to the room, just in time to meet Xi'er who had just tidied up the room and was about to go back.

"Just put this kind of thing there and let me do it."

Looking at the thin beads of sweat on the girl's forehead, Cheng Xi felt a little distressed.After all, it was his room originally, so it was unreasonable to ask a girl to clean it.

Because a lot of confidential information is involved, personal rooms like this are generally not cleaned by base cleaning.Therefore, Cheng Xi usually pays attention to cleaning it every once in a while, and now it has not been two days since the last cleaning. In his opinion, there is actually no need to clean it again, but Xier doesn't seem to think so.

"There are not many things Xi'er can do. Xi'er is already very happy to be able to help her brother like this." The girl shook her head and said.

Sensing a hint of loneliness in Xi'er's words, Cheng Xi was slightly taken aback, and then realized that he had indeed ignored the girl for a long time.

At the beginning, he clearly promised to accompany them more, but since returning from Europe, due to various delays, he has not even been able to meet them a few times recently.

"Want to go somewhere with me?" Cheng Xi invited the girl after thinking about it.

"Eh? Where are you going?" Xi'er was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked.

Before she could react, she saw a sudden change in the scenery around her.

The closed space instantly became open, and the starry sky replaced the silver-white ceiling. On this vast and uninhabited floating island in the sea, Xier saw a path leading to the starry sky.

"That's..." Xi'er slightly opened her eyes wide, looking in surprise at the floating island in the sea, which occupies an area comparable to a small city, and the cable track in the center of the floating island that goes straight into the sky with no end in sight.

It was the first time she had seen such a magnificent man-made building.

"It's the space elevator made by Anti-Entropy back then, called the Kunlun Project." Cheng Xi introduced it to the girl.

Back then, for the implementation of the Starlink program and the deep space exploration program, Anti-Entropy invested a lot of money in the aerospace field, and it cost billions of dollars just to manufacture rockets every year.

Then, Walter quickly realized that this was not possible. The development and manufacture of traditional chemical rockets was a bottomless pit, and the size and complexity of the Starlink satellite itself could not allow it to use the multi-satellite technology like other satellites. Even though anti-entropy has achieved a lot of development in recent years (bdff) to gain an advantage in the competition with destiny, it cannot afford such loss.

Therefore, under the discussion of a group of executors such as Einstein and Tesla, the Kunlun Project came into being.

Originally, "Babylon" would have been a more appropriate name for such a man-made Tower of Babel, but the top executives of Anti-Entropy basically had some bad memories of this name, so they didn't use it.

"Different from elevators or bridges in the general impression, the space elevator starts from the synchronous orbital station [-] kilometers away, and is built up and down at the same time."

Cheng Xi introduced Xi'er to her while leading Xi'er forward.

"It was fine at the beginning, but at the end of the project, the hundred kilometers through the dense atmosphere are the most dangerous. In this area, the most worrying thing is the hurricane. When the space orbit tower is not firmly fixed to the Before the ground, it is not stable."

"Fortunately, the location we chose to build the floating island is near the equator, where there are usually no hurricanes due to the low deflection force of the earth's rotation."

It wasn't until she got close enough that Seele noticed that what she thought was one track was actually composed of four identical pipes, which looked like a four-track railway from the earth to the sky.

"It's amazing." She couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, and then she quickly realized what happened.

"It must have been hard then, right?"

She couldn't imagine how much manpower and material resources the anti-entropy had spent at that time in order to build such a magnificent space elevator.

"Fortunately, the main reason is that the manufacture of super-strength fibers is more difficult. In terms of cost alone, it is much cheaper than launching rockets year after year."

Cheng Xi recalled it for a while and said: "It was hard work... It was really hard at that time, but fortunately it succeeded in the end."

"Since then, for the first time in human history, we have a ladder to the sky - a bridge to the stars."

Having said that, Cheng Xi stood still, turned around to look at the girl, and issued an invitation:

"How about it, do you want to go up and have a look?".

Chapter 260 Our World

"Is it possible?" Xi'er's tone was expectant, but she was also worried that this would take a lot of time.

Although she doesn't know much about it, she has also heard about the huge resources invested by countries all over the world to launch rockets. In her impression, going to space is a very difficult and extravagant thing, and she never thought that one day she would Able to leave the earth and step into the stars.

"It's okay." Cheng Xi explained to the girl: "Unlike a spaceship, this space vehicle will not consume power to heat the atmosphere and generate shock waves. When it lands on the earth, the internal motor will play a magnetic role While the brake is acting, it will be used as a generator to generate electricity, so that 90.00% of the energy in the entire lifting process can be recovered. In addition, there is no unnecessary material loss. The cost of transporting a single passenger is only a few dollars, which is cheaper than taking a train once. Cheap."

This is also the biggest advantage of the space elevator over traditional rockets: it can transport passengers, cargo and fuel to a synchronous orbit ~ station [-] kilometers away at a very low cost.

There, Earth's gravity would become so negligible that spacecraft assembled there would need a little acceleration to launch into farther reaches of deep space.

Spaceships that do not need to use a large amount of fuel to fight against the gravity of the earth have a longer range, and can even completely abandon traditional chemical fuels and concentrate on researching higher specific impulse propulsion technologies such as Hall propulsion and ion propulsion.

Coupled with anti-entropy's cold fusion reactors that have been initially put into use today and the hibernation technology of the last era, it can be said that the current anti-entropy is fully qualified to explore the deep space of the universe.

"So, don't worry." Cheng Xi said with a smile: "In Anti-Entropy, this has gradually become a civilian-level welfare. Even Tesla and the others will occasionally go for a walk when they are in a bad mood. .”

Hearing what he said, Xi'er's heart also calmed down a little. After waiting for a while, she followed Cheng Xi carefully through a long corridor and came to the carrying cabin of the space elevator.

This is not a narrow cabin like an elevator. On the contrary, it is very spacious and divided into four floors. Xi'er and Cheng Xi came to the top floor.

This place is like a five-star luxury hotel, with sofas, coffee tables, comfortable beds, and even bathrooms with bathtubs. If Xier hadn't seen herself walk in, it would be hard for Xier to imagine that she was in an imminent In the capsule that flies into space.

Soon, accompanied by a slight vibration and an undetectable sense of overweight, Xier saw the scenery outside the window sinking slowly, and a wide sea surface appeared in her field of vision. She realized that this was the space elevator being pulled started.

Through the window, she saw a guide rail nearly one meter wide, which extended infinitely upward until it was too thin to be seen.The space above was pitch black, and the terminal station at a height of more than 3 kilometers could not be seen at all. The girl couldn't help but feel that the guide rail was pointing to an unknown road of no return.

Xi'er couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Cheng Xi's clothes beside her.
