Xiling Empire

(For monthly tickets and subscriptions-it's time to open a new world ...)

In terms of structural strength and other aspects, the detector sent by the opposite shore is actually no different from the detector made by the Empire, except that its abyss protection technology is a mystery to us, and it has many unexplained qualities In addition, this thing will not be more resistant than the thing made by the empire, so one such thing theoretically does not pose a threat to the control center.

It doesn't matter how fast it hits it, and it doesn't work beyond the speed of light to have infinite mass-it's not a matter of speed, it's a matter of "levels": because our control center has a psionic shield. Psionic Shield is something that can indifferently defend against all external threats, because the position of Psionics on the Void Stairs and the entire world are level, so everything in the world will be weakened by Psionic Shield, "speed" and " Kinetic energy ”is just a concept defined in the universe, so even if this thing hits the platform at the speed of light, its speed will be burned more than half of it instantly, and then its body will be burned- Even the first shield couldn't get through. Of course, it may also use the same energy as the psionic level, so it can offset some of the shields, but I don't believe such a small detector can carry enough energy to melt through two layers of shields.

It would crash out of the control center, instead of breaking through all the defenses of the latter, and survived in a nearly intact state after detonating the energy core-but all of this presupposed that our control center opened the shield With.

"You said that the control center's defense system was down before the explosion?" I stared at Sandola dumbfounded. You said how good she was to make other jokes: How could the Empire equipment have such a failure?

"I know you don't believe it," Sandora shrugged. "But the system's record is like this, and it's not artificial. It's all the hosts of the defense system that ordered the platform's bottom protection to be turned off at the same time. No shield The charged armor also released pressure. The control center was completely unguarded during that short period of time. The 'black shuttle' should have hit it at that time. It was not obstructed at all. The charged armor after the pressure relief was just For a harder metal, facing a sufficiently high-speed kinetic energy bomb, it is not much stronger than the secular material, and I guess that the "Black Shuttle" also has a shield when it is turned on. So after the two phases offset, our large platform was destroyed. That thing was safe. "

I "er" for a moment, I don't know what to say.

I know about things like charged armor, which is widely used in everything that requires heavy protection. Because even a solid substance. Its defensive power will only be reflected in "strong", even if you get a piece of neutron star material, it is not resistant to xìng except for being very hard, so the Spirit Apostle uses more advanced charged armor. By injecting phantom energy into high-affinity xìng metal, each molecule of this armor plate is relatively fixed, and the armor is given an energy resistance xìng almost comparable to that of the Protoss armor, which is the charged armor. After reaching the level of empire technology, the only solid armor that has value (any other form of pure material armor will be eliminated, because pure material can never carry the power of the Phantom). But there are also times when charged armor is broken: if its energy field is turned off, it is commonly referred to as "relieving pressure." Then a charged armor has no characteristics other than being extremely hard.

Pandora can smash a hole in it with a mallet-the girl's forehead is charged.

Therefore, it is quite normal for a black shuttle to break through four layers of armor. If its speed reaches a certain level, there is no difference between four layers of armor and four layers of cotton. If there is a layer of "phantom energy" on the surface of the black shuttle, the four-layered armor is equivalent to non-existence.

"It's a simple system failure. Or a staff setting error?" I frowned, wondering why the control center would automatically turn off the defense in the bottom zone, which was like ... just like welcoming a black shuttle.

"Neither is possible," Sandora turned around and slowly flew outwards, while speaking in the jīng divine connection, "the probability of a single system 'failure' is less than one in ten million, and three groups are redundant The probability that the other systems will fail at the same time is in my opinion negligible, and the secondary defense host in the bottom zone also has its own judgment. When it receives an instruction such as 'abandon defense', it will repeat it to the higher host, the superior. The host sends a fault instruction to the subordinates twice. Do you think this is possible? As for the staffing mistakes, it is even harder to talk about. The core code of the fortress facility is not allowed to be changed arbitrarily. Only Tavel and the defense commander here You have the right to rewrite these codes, not to mention that the Apostles of the Spirit will not make such a low-level mistake-making a system loophole that causes the defense network to go offline? Just kidding. "

With such a big rock in mind, Sandora and I quickly returned to the upper platform, where Tavel and Lin Xue were already waiting. The latter's face still couldn't help but with a little worried look, but after seeing me, she immediately changed to a grinning smile. The young lady came up and patted my shoulder: "Well, the tough guy is back-bombed How does it feel to fly around? "

Immediately, I knew that the Banxian girl was "looking" at herself all the time. She was a little embarrassed after being touched. She had to scratch her hair: "Very stimulating, quite stimulating ..."

Tavel's reaction after seeing the "Black Shuttle" was completely unexpected, and the glasses lady almost jumped over two hundred meters high: there was insufficient gravity on the platform, and she forgot when she was excited. Then a group of senior assistant technicians were called over and carefully transferred the black sè detector, which was several meters long, into a special sample storage container, and sent it to a research facility near the deep diving port to be beaten.

I saw that Tavel ’s body also wanted to conduct research with the past immediately, but Sandora stopped her: "Just let your quality projection go. You and the defense commander here and the main designer of the deep dive port, There are special circumstances to analyze. "

Tavel saw the solemn expression on Sandola's face, and immediately bowed back.

Soon, the defense commander of the deep dive port and several staff members who appeared to be between the military and scientists led Tavier to the temporary work station. The reason why the staff members seem to be between soldiers and scientists is because they are wearing white uniforms of technicians, but they are larger than most Imperial soldiers, and they have a killing temperament in addition to their aggressive faces. I suspect that this group of scientists carrying heavy artillery on the battlefield will not be slower than the soldiers rushing — Zhenima is indeed a guy who dares to squat on the door of the abyss to study. How do you say that Tavel has cultivated so many science lunatics with her level?

"This is the only defense system I can find from the only device that can still read it," Sandora uploaded the information she found on the public information link. "The platform was completely unguarded before the accident. Status, I want to know who has discovered this. "

The Commander of Deep Dive Harbor Defense is a male officer with a thin face and deep eye sockets. As a very "special" test facility, a considerable number of defense forces are stationed here, and this officer is the highest commander of the local defense force, and the only person other than Tavel who has the authority to close the base defense through external codes. . If the current situation rests on soldiers of ordinary races, it may already be time to sieve, but the emperor is different. He just remembered it seriously and shook his head without changing his face: "Understand, there are no relevant records, and all monitoring points report that everything is normal, until no soldiers or scientists report that the base defense has been closed before the explosion."

Sandora nodded: "Yes. Understood. Now let me talk about my views: the problem should not only be the core host, but also the monitoring devices everywhere, but the records of those detection devices have been destroyed, so this is just After the core host closed the base defense, the monitoring system also made a collective error, and made a report of "base defense normal" when the defense in the lower layer was down, and even branch terminals around the base showed this. So the sentry We didn't find anomalies the first time. "

"Only the lower zone was turned off, and it was turned off less than a minute before the blackbird arrived," I interjected. "There must be any connection-I mean. I think this is simply It ’s as if the platform is welcoming a black shuttle to himself. Sandor. Do you think the system failure here is affected by the black shuttle? For example, the abyss reaction on it. ”

When he found the black shuttle himself, there was no abyss reaction on it, but this was likely to be purified by the psionic energy in the buffer lattice. It cannot be said that it did not carry the abyss when it first came in. I also remember the psionic vortex that ripped the space, which was caused by the black shuttle as it passed through the corridor. Now think about it, it is probably that the remaining abyss forces on the black shuttle destroyed the local space structure, and then pulled part of the psionic reaction furnace into the real world: the more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible.

"I do think so," Sandora groaned. "In fact, I think Hesuo and the base defense paralysis are almost inevitable. The two things can't be explained by coincidence. But just because of this little Can the abyss power carried by the detector destroy the control center of the entire control center? "

"In theory ... this will not happen," Tavel shook her head vigorously, and she personally designed most of the site's structure and control system. The core defense code was written by herself. Such a fatal flaw will come from things designed by myself, "Let ’s talk about the strict xìng and solid xìng of the defense system, as far as this 'fault' is concerned, it is not like the abyss. The destruction of the abyss is always blind It is disordered and very direct. It may directly explode the shield of the facility or directly break the armor belt, but it will never invade the host in this detail, rewrite the program, fool the monitor, and then everything An accident disguised as an energy furnace runaway: The abyss does not have this ability to think. This is the theory. "

"This question will not have results, at least this is the case." Lin Xue, who had not been silent, suddenly silently muttered a word, and the scene calmed down. I looked at the big lady with anticipation: "Girl, do you want to see What's up? "

"I didn't see anything," Lin Xue said lightly. "Just making sure there are no clues around us. All valuable information has been destroyed by the explosion. This secret will be hidden for a long time before it is revealed. Before the start, any accident investigation is a waste of time. Instead of wasting jīng investigating this, it is better to think about another situation: what if the control center's defense system is not nervous? "

Sandora and I at the same time revealed the disappointing God sè: After the prophet announced that there would be no result for this thing, there would really be no result for this matter, which has been proven countless times. In this era of renaissance where time and force are urgent, Lin Xue's predictions certainly helped the new empire to avoid a lot of detours and save a lot of resources. However, it still feels uncomfortable to scratch your heart-well. If you do n’t want to, do n’t want to, it ’s not the first time, anyway, according to Miss ’s, it seems that the truth of this incident will be revealed in the future? Since it doesn't matter much, it's OK to wait quietly.

I focused my thoughts on the assumption put forward by Lin Xue: "If the defense system is not ventilated? Of course, the control center will not be in trouble."

"No," Sandora suddenly raised her head, "I understand what Lin Xue means: if the hosts are all right, the black shuttle will crash on the shield-this extremely precious thing will not be noticed by us. Lost. "

The young lady laughed mysteriously: "That's it, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"The control center can be rebuilt. Lost observation records and test data can be obtained at any time, but the black shuttle cannot be manufactured by us. The deep submersible ships have not yet reached the critical point in the abyss. Valuable ... "Sandola said, glancing at Tavel. "So we should be grateful for the accident."

Seeing the cautious expression on Tavel's face, I knew that the black shuttle and the control center were very important in terms of scientific research value.

Sandora looked around, and seemed to feel that the meeting was no longer necessary, so she stood up: "Then follow the instructions of the prophet, temporarily put the accident investigation aside-but still have to collect everything that can be collected The information is sorted and stored for later use. Tavel, you should conduct the research and analysis of the detector yourself, and repair the equipment here as soon as possible. The deep dive plan should be able to restart. "

Speaking, Sandora and Tavel looked at Lin Xue together, the latter nodded, indicating that the disaster she had predicted as rì had ended. Tavel asked a little more reassuredly: "Master, will the control center malfunction not happen again?"

"No, this is the first and last time." Lin Xue nodded surely. "Although I can't see the reason clearly. But it happened only for the black shuttle. There will be no second time in the future. The security system of the control center is also fine, you can rest assured. "

The management staff of Tavel and Deep Dive Port have left here and returned to work. Soon in the huge conference room are Sandorla, me and Lin Xue. Sandora frowned, and seemed a bit tired: "I think it's as if anyone planned it, the black shuttle appeared, the defense system went down, and the monitoring device failed ... the interlocking made the detector intact The ground fell into our hands, I never believed in heaven's good fortune, which made people think of yīn. "

"Indeed, you think about where the stuff finally stopped—the crystals in the middle of the big platform," I agreed. "I only noticed this now: Without the protection of the release energy buffer crystals, a little The detector must have followed the ash when the big platform exploded, so the angle at which it penetrated the platform was almost godlike. "

A detector has a small amount of skin and even if it carries a psionic shield and has a mass effect at the speed of light to **** it, it is impossible to penetrate a copper-walled iron fortress on the premise of its own survival, even if it is a fortress Open the door to let it hit and actively expose the energy core to let it penetrate. The detector will also be destroyed when the fort explodes, unless it is embedded into a protective layer "just right" after the impact: for example, it can A cushioning crystal that absorbs explosion damage. Sandora said it right, this series of events has nothing to do with accidents. This is exactly a “capture action” calculated and adjusted in various ways. I am not surprised that someone planned this all. But who can do this? What's the point of doing this?

The Apostles of the Spirit have been ruled out, but they cannot be the hands of the enemy-because it is clear that the ultimate beneficiary of this matter is the empire. If it is the style of the fallen apostles, they should rather have no access to the hands Destruction will not let it fall into our hands, unless they are so troublesome to really destroy one of our space stations-I remember that the abyss is not like the disabled girl.

"In short ~ www.readwn.com ~ Let Tavel transfer the black shuttle to the shadow space today, and things can be reassured by putting things in his own home. I am afraid this universe is not very 'safe' either. I will let you go back when I go back. The retired garden resets the coordinates of this world. I don't want to encounter the fallen apostle group when the deep dive ship is about to set off. "

Although the investigation of the system failure has been temporarily suspended, at least the investigation of the explosion of the control center has been completed, and we are on our way back to Shadow City after completing our work here. Tavel will follow up later: she will first do some simple tests and treatments on the black shuttle to ensure that the gadget is completely harmless. After all, it is necessary to bring things to the world of the capital. It is not possible to be careful.

The dive program was relaunched after being delayed for almost half a month. The new model of the deep-submersible ship was sent to the test port. Before the control center was rebuilt there, the deep-submersible ship would conduct the final round of testing before starting. Tavel seemed extremely confident in the newly designed spacecraft. A lot of breakthrough technologies were used on the ship, and while the deep dive plan was temporarily suspended, some high-tech modules supported by Harlan's friendship were installed on the ship. These technologies from the fallen apostles were originally It is to be installed on their deep diving equipment, but now it is first applied to the Empire spacecraft, and it is not known whether Abyss Spirit had thought of this result at first.

Anyway, I always think that getting Harlan's fat meal to the Empire camp is one of the most valuable things I have done ...
