Xiling Empire

The Shadow City Research Center is a building with a strange spatial structure. Most of its areas are connected with spatial distortion devices. This building, which looks like only a few buildings, actually has an unimaginably vast space. Those most important The laboratory, the sample Gana library, and the data center are all set in encrypted different dimensions. The connection point between these independent spaces and the research center may be a door opened in the middle of the air, or a wall marked with a number. It may even be just a few specific floors, as long as you walk over with the transfer code, you will come to some weird hyperspace laboratory.

This magical multi-level space structure was designed by Tavel himself. One of the purposes is to allow those large projects to be completed in the research center. The second purpose is to be safe. We are familiar with the fact that the projects carried out by Imperial scientists are basically separate. I do n’t open arms or set up military laboratories in a different space. I ’m really worried when they blow up the Shadow City ...

Heterodimensional spaces that do not have a specific function and simply use a broad and stable spatial structure as the experimental site are called "crack laboratories". There are nearly a hundred of these crack laboratories, and Tavel is based on data submitted by Abyss Schilling. The various facilities that were up and the pair of wreckage we dragged back were in the No. 1 crack laboratory. At the same time, this laboratory is also the basic laboratory of the "Bridge Project" and is mounted in the name of the "Deep Diving Project Department". Under the responsibility of Tavel, under the supervision of Sandora himself.

The dark but not dark chaotic space is endless, and the line of sight cannot judge how large this alien space is. There is a lunar-sized luminous body in the center of No. 1 Fissure Lab, which is the laboratory's energy furnace and to some extent It can also be used as a source of gravity and operating platform in specific project requirements. A series of facilities run on the low-level orbit of this artificial celestial body, including a large experimental space station and an open operation port. Of course, there are things like residential areas and factories: some projects may take a long time, and even one operation takes months or even a year. In the process, researchers are basically unwilling to leave the laboratory too far. Therefore, there are even living and living facilities here.

And between these orbital facilities, you can see small spacecrafts shuttle fast, some are carrying goods, some are carrying people, and the rest are basically unmanned special self-regulatory machines: self-regulatory machines in the form of spaceships are basically It can only be used in scientific research projects. There are spaceships running around in the experimental "room". I am afraid that this kind of scene can only be seen in the empire's facilities. Those crazy scientists have made everything extraordinary.

The observation hall of the orbital station is located on the top floor of this high-rise building, except for a closed silver-white alloy wall. The other three sides are open structures. The transparent energy barrier isolates the environment inside and outside the hall, just like the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. We stand behind this "floor window" and watch the round of "Silver Moon" surface from time to time. The arc of color light, the Father God was a little bit emotional: "You are already testing a new shield energy source, you have gone farther than the Protoss in deep diving technology."

"After all, it started at 70,000 years ago," I said as I looked at the woman next to her, her black hair and black pupil. She is thin, with a gentle smile on her face that doesn't show the temperature. Although she is beautiful, she always has a sense of alienation. Next to her is a large black box like a wardrobe. The red light flow on the surface of the box is constantly walking. "The data you provided seems to be okay. Tavel has already created the third-generation deep submersible shield generator, but it consumes too much energy and needs to be resolved."

"Take your time. There is still time," Abyss' spirit kept a smile that never changed, but his eyes fell curiously on Father God and King Huron. "I didn't expect the two to come together. As far as I know, you have been chasing and escaping for a long time."

Suddenly, Father God's face was a little awkward: "How do you even know this ..."

"Don't be constrained by inertial thinking. The abyss spirits did not come into being after the empire collapsed," the dark-haired girl said calmly. "I have the same vein as the 70,000 years ago."

I took another look at the test site below, then retracted my eyes from "Space", and led everyone back to the silver-white alloy long table in the center of the observation hall. The cataclysm and bridging incidents have all been recounted. Now you and Xing Chen and Sister Shila should both make things easier? "

There are not many people around the long table. In addition to Star Minister, Sheila, Abyss Helling and me, Sandora and Harlan are also present. In addition, Tavel is also the person in charge of the entire project, and is present. Opposite the table.

Just now Abyss Hilling repeated the situation of the Great Cataclysm in the Void in front of Xingchen and Sheila, explaining some things that Bettis did not report in place.

"The new model of void is very interesting." On this occasion, Sheila, who had always seemed a little careless, was unexpectedly calm. She was like a professional researcher who had a lot of interest in the void conjecture of Abyss Spirit. "About It still takes a long time to explore whether it is like a film in nature, but at present it is indeed closer to the truth than previous conjectures. Then the generation of the world of order will cause this film to 'deform', abyss and large Catastrophe is the zeroing of different strengths adopted by this film in order to restore the leveling. Bridges are built on the film to make the world of order on both sides interoperate, which can alleviate the imbalance situation, so that the cataclysm is no longer overdone ... All the conjectures seem They all make sense, and I personally agree. "

"How detailed is the information you got from the other side?" Xing Chen glanced at Abyss, and "can you show me?"

"Of course," Abyss Spirit took out a long-translated scroll and gave it to the Father, "the technical aspects have been omitted, presumably you are not concerned about that."

Xingchen and Sheila began to analyze the contents of the scroll, and Harlan and Sandora and I waited quietly. We have seen these materials in advance, and of course know their content, but just like the information we found from Hesuo and the occasional "shore" calls, these materials are fragmented, there are many places where the meaning is ambiguous, the abyss She may know more than the new empire, but she is far from being able to communicate with the civilization on the other side.

"According to these materials, the" bridge "plan of the civilization on the other side was not their first proposal," Sheila lifted her eyes, "there are two super civilizations on the other side. But they can be sure that they are not the" first generation ". They had other people who had been in contact with the truth of the void before. The will of the 'bridge' circulated in this generation of super civilization. Every generation tried the bridge but basically failed. "

Abyss Spirit nodded: "The other side is obviously stronger than ours in terms of 'heritance'. Although their super civilization is not as durable as ours, generations can pass on the will of the bridge. Many races in the middle seem to be The process of bridging died out naturally or simply became extinct because of the failure of the experiment, but the project has not changed hands after several changes of hands. "

"Admirable," even his father and God could not help but praise ... eh. Paying tribute, he then returned the scroll to Abyss, and said, "The bridge needs to be executed by both sides, so the other side has never succeeded?"

"Yes. According to the intermittent information from the other side, the original" bridge "requirement did not mention that the two sides must be opened at the same time. It is only this time that the opposite-side civilization discovered during the exploration opened the two sides at the same time. The bridge can be stabilized. The previous failed attempts to build the bridge are likely to be the result of separate construction. "

"That is to say, to ensure the success of the bridge, the first step must be to ensure smooth communication with the opposite bank." Harlan cut into the main point, "otherwise, even the start-up synchronization cannot be started. It may crash in the state where the other end is slow to respond. In addition, it is necessary to consider that the startup end manufactured by both sides of the strait will definitely use different technologies and 'materials'. This aspect of compatibility and mutual translation is also an important issue. Now according to our Guessing. To establish a stable connection with the opposite shore, it is necessary to at least 'dive' near the critical zone at the bottom of the abyss and set up a long-life, relay-like thing to forward the signal there. This is another technical difficulty. It's impossible to dive to that depth. Not to mention the establishment of a relay station. "

Harlan is indeed an expert in this field, and has basically considered everything needed for the project.

The holographic device on the alloy long table projected the deep submersible ships currently in use by the Empire, as well as the structure of the deep submersible ships and the current limit parameters that can be reached. I looked at this thing a little bit dreamily, but I don't know how to improve it: even experts like Tavel are bothered by this problem, and of course laymen like myself don't even want to help. I was just thinking: when will this ship dive to the critical level?

That sounds out of reach.

In the traditional Abyss-Void model, we believe that the Abyss's Lair is the nest of Abyss power, which is a distorted and chaotic area completely filled with "things" named Abyss, and according to the fact that "the other side" exists, Abyss Below the gate is regarded as a wide but limited isolation zone. This isolation zone has a layered structure. The abyss breath will increase sharply from the surface to the bottom. In the process, it will be reversed, the pollution weakened, and the chaos subsided, like two gradient bands that mirror each other. In this model, the area where the abyss structure is "inverted" is the critical layer.

In the new model proposed by Abyss Hei Ling, everything is almost the same. The only difference is that the abyss Hei Ling negates the nature of "Abyss" as an exact "thing." The new model believes that Abyss is not a clear "thing." "It is just a general term for a series of processes. There is no nest under the gate of the abyss. It is just a special" structure "in the void, but this structure is located exactly in the origin of the void return reaction, so it has a strong Abyss. Apart from this difference, the description of the "critical layer" is the same in both models.

The strongest deep dive ship of the old empire only reached the critical level and did not really reach that area, let alone the deep dive equipment made by the new empire: let alone half of that extreme depth.

Sheila rolled her eyes, looking at the submersible in front of her, and looking at the abyss, and suddenly thought: "I don't know if you will use Huron's technology ..."

"Do you also have deep dive boats?" Xing Chen glanced at each other in surprise. "Why haven't you heard of it?"

"Not a submarine ship, but a node set under the gate of the abyss," Sheila drew a crystal prism from her body. The prism was only the size of a palm, emitting a soft milky light. "We never thought of what would be on the bottom of the abyss. Things worth exploring, but in order to monitor the movement of the abyss gate and try to collect the rules of outbreaks, we have recently built a node that can run for a long time in the abyss environment. It can continuously provide clean energy in severely polluted areas because Not for extreme detection, so the absolute protection of these nodes may be weaker than your deep diving equipment, but the endurance of the power core is absolutely trustworthy. "

Xingchen took the crystal prism, put it with a translation scroll, and enveloped it with a set of runes of energy. This is obviously decoding the data: the original "prism" is something similar to memory, The technology trees of the three major gods are really different.

After a few moments of decoding, Star Minister copied the scrolls and handed them in, Sandora, Tavel, Abyss, and Haran. Of course I also have a copy, but I will say something if I understand it ...

"Very valuable stuff!" Tavel just glanced at the contents of the scroll to show an excited look. This big scientist who has always been known for his calmness showed this expression. The weight of the data in the scroll can be imagined. "If these parameters are accurate and the conversion process is correct, it can solve the problems of unstable power and susceptible energy pollution of deep submersibles!"

Harlan didn't speak, but he looked at the scroll with a smile, and nodded as he looked, apparently the information was of great value. Abyss Spirit looked at the scroll with a thoughtful look. It seems to be analyzing whether their own deep diving equipment can also use these things.

The Father God has read the data in the scroll (this is certainly not the complete information of the nodes produced by the Huron Protoss, but only some key data, it is fast to browse it again), he smiled: "This is the case. The star field is over there There is also some experience in 'advancement'. The children have recently developed a method of stable information drift in the abyss environment, which can make deep dives smoother and faster-it will be easier to escape in an emergency. . "

"We need to set up a joint working group," Harlan tapped his finger on the desktop. It seems as if the final word is "Huron, Starfield, Empire, and Abyss. The four aspects have their own opinions in the field of 'dive', but the progress is not deep enough. If combined, it will have a huge effect. In addition, I initially suggest Put United Labs on the Empire's side: At present it seems that the largest and most advanced deep-dive port is here. "

Regardless of comprehensive strength or cutting-edge technology, the Empire is always weaker than Starfield. After all, the family and development history of the other party are there, and the new Empire is not only relatively young, but also experienced a downfall in many areas. It is normal to fall behind. But only in terms of deep diving technology, the new empire has taken the lead in front of many people: the star field is advanced and powerful, but their focus has not been on deep diving projects for a long time, and the research method of the abyss is not "dive" The rough road, Huron's situation is similar, but the two protoss fell behind this time.

Perhaps only the abyss spirit's deep diving technology is better than ours, but unfortunately now the abyss area is a mess. The new army has caused a serious blow to the "predecessor" and her research facilities are half off In the hands of others, it is now an awkward state of having no technology and not many resources available.

The joint research was agreed by everyone, and Harlan ’s proposal was reasonable. Therefore, the two **** kings and an abyss commander did not express opposition. In the end, Sheila had only one question: “Run from us to your side. A trip is not easy. "

"Can you send the key personnel?" I asked, looking at each other's eyes, expectantly.

"Oh, of course there is no problem with the personnel," Sister Sheila waved. "I mean that large facilities cannot be transported: manufacturing nodes and prototypes need industrial foundations, otherwise you wouldn't be able to make them just by taking the drawings. No industrial foundation Then, even the smallest parts have to be built little by little from basic production facilities ... "

"It's still convenient for our Spirit host technology." Sandora secretly pinched my arm and said proudly.

"But I always think this sister has other plans ..."

I just talked about halfway, and I saw that Sheila patted Xingchen's shoulder: "So Xingchen, you can also hear my difficulties, I can only transport people by my own strength, you have to come and help me Big guy ~ www.readwn.com ~ I know you are good at 'roaming in the void', don't shirk. "

"Finally a little bit more," I secretly slandered the sister. "Except for pulling my life child, I have learned to use tricks."

When the two love marathons over there were "sexy and cursing," Abyss Helen suddenly ended her meditation. She coughed twice to call everyone's attention: "I have another question."

All eyes turned to her at the scene.

"The empire ... the abyss empire and the new empire here are technically in the same vein, so the problem is not big, but coupled with the holy light of the star field and the power of Huron's truth, what we are going to create is a tribal mixed race Equipment, "Abyss Spirit looks around at everyone," Three races, this is a race of three races! Huron's power core, astral thruster, and the shield of Schilling. Can this system really work? Even energy Are not universal! "

Sheila and Xingchen's faces immediately appeared worried, but Tavel immediately took out a small metal rod from the portable space: "Don't worry, we have this: the source energy mine."

(A lot of digging, I find it is difficult to finish ... It is said that a new month is coming. Wouldn't you like to issue a monthly ticket to support it?) (To be continued ...)
