Xiling Empire

The scientific research ship is moored in the boundary area of ​​the Taijiu air mass, which is about thousands of kilometers away from the obvious material enrichment zone. Looking here, the air mass seems to be a static cloud and misty mountain range, which quietly traverses all the vision in front of your eyes. Inside the air mass, the deepest and deepest, you can see continuous flashes of light, reflecting the uneven wide valleys and cracks inside the air mass like veins. I gazed in one direction for several minutes in a row. Although the size of the air mass was so large, it was impossible for a human to determine with the naked eye where the center of the air mass was, but my intuition focused me on one direction.

"It should be there, it ... maybe it's me."

Sandora glanced suspiciously at me, and when she spoke, she was worried: "Ajun, are you okay?"

"I'm okay." I immediately laughed and patted Sandora's arm to reassure her. "I can be sure I'm not affected, but you also know that I sometimes have special intuition. There's something there It ’s been sending out signals, and it looks like it wants to communicate with us, but ... does the radar react? ”

In the last sentence, I said to the busy information console below. A senior assistant technician was monitoring the feedback from the general-purpose radar. After hearing the words, he immediately reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the radar has not found anything! We are not in the air mass. Nothing other than the normal gas cloud was found inside, nor did it exceed the energy response of the gas cloud itself! "

"That is to say, the message it sends is only I can receive, and it is received in a vaguely intuitive form." I shrugged at Sandora. "Tavel is right, maybe it is a super-common sense substance. , Completely out of the material and information pedigree that the Empire already has. "

"What did you find in it?" Ilson looked at his servant, a burly man named xìng, wearing red armor and red hair like fire-judging by this characteristic, he should be the four major gods Outside of a soldier from the gods, maybe Vulcan. The burly red-haired man stood upright when he heard Ilson's question, and replied loudly, "Yes, master! We have explored the core of the gas cloud and found abnormal spatial phenomena and a diameter of one A kilometer of suspected material block, but the target is highly active and may be in a critical state. We are worried about destabilizing it and therefore have not rushed. It is now possible to determine that the target moves randomly within an area of ​​200 km in the center of the air mass, but it is not sure Does it have the ability to be controlled externally or autonomously? "

"A thing that is completely mysterious and inaccessible to God ..." the sister muttered, and at this moment, the report from the communicator came from the communicator: "Your Majesty! The first working group has already communicated with The Protoss working group converges! We see that thing! "

After the scientific research ship docked, Tavel sent an experienced working team to set off to connect with the Protoss staff inside Qiyun, because he was not sure what the environment inside was, and whether the spaceship ’s hyperspace jump would work. The "foreign body" was affected, so the group's work boat travelled by conventional drive, and has now reached its destination.

"Take the picture," Sandora said immediately.

The control hall of the scientific research ship is the same as the control hall of most of the Empire ’s ships. There is a large holographic device at the center of the center. Soon, the assistant technician transmitted the picture of the on-site working group. The situation is before us. In the picture, dozens of self-regulatory machines and several assistant technicians wearing special protective light armor are carefully moving forward in the turbid cloud. A team of priests is leading the way, and their goal is a huge distance. ... the sphere.

Yes, a ball, we have been searching hard. What we found today after more rì is actually a huge ball. According to the report of the priest just now, its diameter is about one kilometer: and being The cautiously leaning past working group is huge by comparison. From the picture, the ball is not as manic as everyone thinks, rushing around, on the contrary, it is quiet and ... beautiful? Magnificent? Showy? I ca n’t say, the outer shell of this ball seems to be alive. Large groups of colorful faces are floating on the sphere uncomfortably, slowly, merging, gradual, separating, and then enter the next cycle, so bright and colorful. The ever-changing sècai is quite different from the dark spores of the universe that I imagined at the beginning-I don't know what the dark spores of the universe are, but the word suddenly popped out and felt like a lot of sense, so I used it like this. ()

"We are very close. The shell of this thing is highly flexible, but the non-contact scanning device cannot read any useful data, and all other non-contact devices cannot affect the target. It is like a shadow, only Can see, but do not return any information other than the spectrum, it is not yet known whether it has a physical entity "the assistant technician leading the team reported, while a staff member wearing a protective armor in the middle of the screen waved, it seems that he Under the words "Your Majesty, there is a regular pattern of changes in the color above, indicating that it is a logical man-made product. Judging from experience, this highly alive and artificial shell will most likely respond to substantial 'contact'. Moreover, the Protoss staff used other means to judge that this shell was in a certain critical state, and rash contact may have unknowable consequences. "

"On what basis do you judge this thing is critical?"

I took a curious look at the servant of 123. Although I know that the protoss is better than the spirit empire in terms of comprehensive strength, it is reasonable to say that the empire should not be weaker or even slightly stronger than the other in terms of scanning technology. Each technology tree also has its own expertise. The Apostles of the Spirit are relatively good at scanning technology. But this time, on what basis does the Protoss judge that the thing that even the most advanced radar of the empire can hide is in a critical state?

The red-haired priest thought about it and replied aloud, "Vice Captain's intuition!"

I:"……"

Everyone: "..."

Ilson: "Ahem, this squadron's deputy captain is really intuitive. I know her. That guy has always acted on intuition. The accuracy rate is 10% ... When the radar is ineffective, the sixth sense of the woman will be returned. It works, doesn't it? "

I couldn't help but put my gaze on Miss Lin who was snoring on the table: "Sixth sense, it's your turn."

"Poke by hand, isn't that thing ignoring any non-contact effect?" The young lady rolled her eyes and looked over. "The traction field can't be towed away, the space warehouse can't be loaded, do you have to poke by hand sooner or later?"

Me: "..." Although she said it makes sense, I always feel that this statement is more or less worthwhile.

In the end, we still decided to directly contact the ball with various weird materials that could not penetrate even the perception of the empire scanning equipment and the Protoss. However, considering the possible danger, this work was handed over to the working group. The self-discipline machines, and the team members evacuated a few kilometers away to open the shield of the work boat, and were ready to jump into the space folds to avoid possible explosions and the like. This is not too careful or worrying, mainly because the ball is too disturbing-do you just pick something on the side of the road and eat it?

Okay, Sandora ...

The self-discipline machine carefully approached the huge ball and touched the ball with the attention of hundreds of pairs of eyes. At this moment, many people's hearts followed, and the next second, the huge ball did not fail everyone. There was a little change in the hope: the ever-changing magnificent color suddenly stopped. But just when many people thought that the big bang or space collapse or the sphere broke or a bunch of little monsters and tentacle monsters popped out of the ball--

The thing didn't even put a fart in the end, and continued to pretend to be a dragon.

The working team transmitted what they detected at the scene: "It was confirmed that the target responded to direct contact, but there was no further change. The sphere did not have any energy, gravity, heat, and magnetism. Any genera xìng was detected, except for vision. Outside of the effect, we did not find that the target produced any genus xìng. Oh, there is a genus xìng. The detector sent a hardness report it sensed, confirming that the shell of the sphere is solid, and the type of surface material is roughly equivalent to some Crystals."

Sandora glanced at me: "Ajun, can you feel anything?"

I was the only person on the scene who might have something to do with the big ball, so Sandora would ask, but just when the face of the ball just stopped, I didn't feel anything, so I shook my head.

"Continue testing. If necessary, you can sacrifice a few self-regulatory machines to try." Sandora clarified the order, so the working team in front began a series of tests.

They started to let the self-discipline machine directly make physical impact on the ball, release electromagnetic pulses at a short distance to the ball, try to use gravitational traction to affect the target, shine various energy beams, and even use phantom energy and holy light— — It ca n’t be said that there is no effect. After shè is illuminated by higher energy such as phantom and holy light, the shell of the sphere shows a tendency to collapse, which shows that the target can be destroyed and its strength is not as we imagined. So strong, but other than that we know that the target can be destroyed, no other test we conducted obtained any valuable intelligence.

That ball is a stubborn dumb, and would rather die tell us no secrets about it.

"According to the data collected now, the target's shell is solid, has hardness and structural strength, and can be seen by the naked eye, and can reflect normally, but other than that, it has no mass, no radiation, no internal structure can be scanned, and it can be identified. No material composition, because the mass itself is zero, it is not even affected by gravitational pull. It is challenging the common sense, the product of violation of the rules of the world. "Sandora looked at the report from the working group." It actually exists, but it is missing too much. The key is xìng, like ... "

"Like a corrupted data packet, it occupies the hard disk space in vain, but cannot be deleted or moved, and there is an icon in the empty space but the content cannot be read." I continued casually.

Sandora nodded: "Either it was 'born' designed to be like this, or it was damaged for some reason-I'm not referring to physical damage, but damage to the information source and then It has not disintegrated, but has survived in the real world. "

"It's all possible," the older sister nodded.

I thought about it, and suddenly connected with a knowledge point I had come into contact with before: "Why did I think of the black sun?"

"You mean the black celestial body due to the lack of key laws?" Sandora nodded slightly. "It can only be said that the surface genus xìng is slightly similar, but the black celestial body cannot be observed by conventional methods, and it will not be the same as the current one. Everything in the world produces information exchange, but the thing in front of our eyes ... can be seen with the naked eye, physical contact can feel the hardness of the other party, so it is not a black celestial body. "

While we were puzzled by a group of experts in Tavel, the forefront working group had completed all the testing methods they could think of, including even crashing a self-discipline machine at that speed hundreds of times faster. On the sphere's shell: This impact formed a huge wound on the sphere's shell, which fully shows that the target's "material" technology is actually not high, but it is strange that such an entity without mass has suffered from such an impact. There was not even a slight displacement. OK, after some tests, we have gained more mysteries: the target can choose to ignore certain physical phenomena in the current worldview, such as the law of kinetic energy ... In fact, this is not strange, the existence of the target itself Already challenging the worldview.

"What the **** is this TM?" Looking at the messy data returned by the engineering team, Sandora and I fell into deep thought. After a long time of thinking, I sighed again to the sky. "What the **** is this TM? "

"You said it just now." Lin Xue rolled his eyes.

"I'm going to see it for myself." I found that the working team over there couldn't think of a better test method, except that the target was bombarded with a shot. I finally couldn't sit still and stood up and said, "You are waiting here-I Past in a void form. "

Sandora didn't say much this time. She knew the circumstances under which I made a decision that I could not advise. Of course, she also knew that if I passed in a void form, most of them would not be in danger. Just before leaving, Bingtis suddenly stood up: "Wait a while, and follow me."

"You? Why are you following the past?" Sandora looked at her loss friend, then wondered where she was, and pulled my cuff nervously. "Don't touch the dry food with the master."

"... You are completely lost ..." The hooligan goddess looked at Sandora with a smirk. "The old lady is the highest-ranking protoss here. This land is still the land of the gods. Now your country chief is exploring in person first. Can the old lady follow the whole process? ? "

Sandora was speechless, finally shrugging: "No way, recently I suddenly felt that your threat xìng is getting higher and higher."

Bingtis originally planned to pull me off, and as a result, Sandola stopped and said, blinking as if he had found an interesting new continent, and nodded his head: "You suddenly reminds me - mate selection criteria aging mother is resistant to play can support the family, under the current circumstances, can beat a positive turn his aging mother really did not a few, but also to pick the middle can support the family and, more importantly resistant thing had to be public "And, ..." Bingtis started looking at me up and down, and his eyes revealed an unbridled halo that only Bingjie could carry, and it just looked like it was picked in the market: "And in the long run Look, in the future, except the Father God and King Huron, I am afraid that you can fight the most in the void ... Congratulations, you are on my shortlist! "

I:"……"

Everyone: "..."

Anyway, the scene was quiet. The amazing ability of Sister Bing was no less than shallow on a certain level. The difference is that the reason for the surprise is that the mind is often unreliable, and The amazing reason is that although she has no problem with her mind, there is something wrong with her worldview: she dares to say anything when she catches it, and treats the normal Taoist morality as nothing. She talked so much in front of Sandora, but she turned her eyes around the world and had nothing to do with me, but she let the people around her feel mad and unable to react.

I froze there for a long time, and obeyed Bingjie's words for a long time, and found that from a sociological point of view, this should be considered a confession, but I observed the other person's face—it's still normal. It doesn't matter what it looks like. I'm a little shy, I don't know if this guy is joking or talking casually or not even knowing what he's talking about: it doesn't seem to be serious anyway.

"Wow, it ’s so charming?" Bingtis Da Lala waved in front of my eyes. "Frightened fool? Well, I just said it casually. Besides, even if you are serious, you also Just a shortlisted player, don't be so anxious ... Now, Sandora, I'll take your dry food away first? "

After speaking ~ www.readwn.com ~ waiting for our response, Sister Bing has grabbed my arm and appeared outside ten thousand miles (this is an adjective)-we are facing the immense and petty friend A huge sphere with no salt.

"You are killing me." I looked at Bingtis with a pained face and complained through the jīng divine connection. The other party just said: she just said it casually, but I have good reasons to believe that many people are not casual. I heard "I'm optimistic that Sandola will kill me, and I'm not optimistic that she will kill me with Asakusa Linxue ..."

Bingtis also whistleed in the jīng divine connection: "Well, life needs a little passion, and I haven't become a target for tens of millions of years. Is it okay to have a mouth addiction in front of Ni Ni?"

I:"……"

I find myself particularly speechless today.

In order to quickly get rid of this embarrassing state of speechlessness, I focused on the stubborn and silent large sphere that was as colorful as the dragon.

In the end, the biggest question before me is: what is this TM!
