Xiling Empire Chapter 1162: Mysterious civilization in the mist?

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

The empire-made scientific research ship is a spaceship that has a complete extreme environment adaptation mechanism and a full set of basic laboratories, and can be replaced with special laboratory modules at any time as needed. The imperial scientists who are no worse than the imperial soldiers can go to any environment and complete any experiments they want to carry out. This of course includes the weird stuff collected by field analysis: many times, imperial scientists do n’t have the patience to send these samples. Back to the rear to study, but choose to start their work on the front line. The scientific research ship sent by Tavel is the latest model. The main laboratory carried on it is a sample analysis center that can analyze the structure and full nature of any substance. This center can carry out thousands of analysis items, from physical From the nature to the internal structure to the energy spectrum, even when connected to the Empire database, you can also query the "registry information" of the sample in the range of World. It can be said that Tavel has desperately packed all the functions she wants into this boat Here it is.

What I ’m happy to see is that less than one-tenth of the above functions can come in handy for the fusiform objects we find.

The long axis is 5.5 meters, the whole body is black, and the "space shuttle" that emits red light at both ends is now suspended above the non-gravity platform of the analysis center, quietly, slowly rotating under the action of traction Force Field, several The small probe machine is busy flying around in its surroundings, using the to scan beam or something that sounds very powerful to check the structure of the other one by one. Unlike the crystal ball with a diameter of one kilometer before, this black shuttle Most of the structure can still be directly to scan-although the image from to scan is still confusing. While on the gravity-free platform surroundings, they are busy assistant technicians. These researchers in white robe seem to have fallen into serious differences. They are divided into three or four camps to debate fiercely, express their own opinions, and as the debate progresses, their three The four camps are also reorganized at any time. Two scientists who were standing on the same point the previous second glared at each other. The two technicians who were still refuting each other at the previous moment may also reach a consensus now, and they have a different debate. There are more than one point, and each point of divergence produces several different points of view. These different points of view are completely unsystematic. Few two assistant technicians can stand on the same "camp" from start to finish. I have been listening to them for half an hour. These scientists are debating something very deep, and my feeling is that from the very beginning's "What are they debating?" Becomes "What are they debating now?" ...

"I feel like I will be arguing for a while ..." The Onee-sama, like me, has a trouble smile and leans his head to the Tavel's quality projection. As the most high-level Researcher on the scene, Tavel did not participate in these In the discussion of the assistant, she frowned and thought about herself, but she quickly responded to the words of Onee-sama: "Oh, this is okay. We who are engaged in research, arguing on experimental projects are commonplace. Anything The implementation of the plan is accompanied by the ten-fold plan being shot-but today's situation is indeed a bit special, we have never seen such a strange thing. "

"I found something, and theoretically is also related to me, but I can't see what it is," I frowned as I looked at the black shuttle slowly rotating on a gravity-free platform. , "Originally, it said two words when it was wrapped in that big ball. Now that the ball is gone, it also goes silent. You said that I broke something?"

"No, it should not be," Tavel shook his head. "This is not a result of data analysis, but a judgment based on experience and intuition. This spindle-shaped object is obviously a highly technical man-made product. , And the previous crystal ball shell with a diameter of one kilometer should be similar to some kind of armor, and its role is to provide protection for this fusiform core. According to the situation you said, this combination first performed some kind of identity authentication for you. After your identity, a notification was given to let you know in advance that it will remove its shell. Everything shows that the whole process is in the predetermined procedure of this assembly, including the crack of the heavy shell, and it must be accurate. The result of the design. This high-tech content will not be broken in a simple shelling procedure. As for the reason why we can not read the information sent by the black shuttle now, it may be that its core is used and the shell is not The same identity authentication method, and for the time being we do not know what this authentication method is. theoretically is like this "

"Hello shuttle? This is a good name. It's quite artistic." Lin Xue said casually.

"Mood? The subordinate does not know any mood, the name is because it is very dark, and it is like a shuttle." Tavel answered frankly, so Ojou-sama almost choked: "You ... forget it, engage in scientific research It ’s all like this. "

"Authentication method," I thought for a while, "It seems I have to fall on my head, it seems that only I can get in touch with it."

"Yes, theoretically is like this, but the subordinates do not recommend that you try it for the second time immediately. Before we know the origin and function of the black shuttle, there is a certain risk in letting you contact it rashly, and this risk I can't see the value that matches it. "

"But the problem is that if you want to know its function, I am afraid that the premise is to pass the certification," I pointed my chin to the black shuttle. "You have already tried it. The black shuttle has a self-destructive function, forcibly destroying the shell or Increasing the strength of to scan will cause a sharply enhanced energy response in the core of the gadget, and at present, the current dismantling technology of the empire cannot circumvent this self-destructive lock that the principle is unclear. "

Tavel refutes my less strict statement: "Whether that energy response is self-destructive remains to be discussed. After all, after we stop disassembling the shell, the energy response drops to normal reading again, although this is not a high-end Technology, but as a self-destructive equipment, it is really a useless design-just like a bomb is designed to recover all fragments after the explosion. theoretically is like this. "

I waved my hand: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this. You first test, if you confirm that it has no abyss reaction, I still have to try to communicate with the gadget, as long as it is not the abyss, it should be fine. Son, right? "

Tavel bit her lip, she seems to have made a lot of determination. After discovering that there is no dissuasion from Shandora next to her, she finally nodded: "Okay, but please do n’t touch this thing until the end of the full to scan."

It can be seen that Tavel's level of vigilance against "Black Shuttle" is not as high as the average. Part of the reason for this vigilance may come from "Suspected Origin" of Black Shuttle: That thing was issued in the World management system. After the false alarm, which appears in the abyss reaction warning area, according to the relevant regulations, such objects themselves should be classified as temporary A dangerous goods. Another part of the reason is the technical content of the black shuttle itself: various indications indicate that the technical content of the black shuttle is sufficient to compete with the Empire, even with the God Clan. Although it is not certain that this thing can exceed the existing science and technology of the Empire, but only Its operation mode that made Xi Ling technicians confused is enough to illustrate its possible technical level. And this made Tavel, the chief scientist of the Empire, feel a heavy pressure.

Not only did I think about it, but even Onee-sama could think about it. She looked at the black shuttle that was receiving a full range of to scan, her brows closed: "Tavel, how high do you think this thing will be? Will its people be science and technology race as strong as the Empire? "

Tavel did not evade this issue. She frankly nodded: "From the perspective of the material strength and internal energy flow of Black Shuttle, the race that made it is not necessarily stronger than the Empire, but it is very likely to be comparable in strength. This thing The operating mechanism and the energy used make people feel inexplicable. It is a product that is completely different from any existing technology tree. However, after the initial simulation, the host judged that the empire can use the Youneng science and technology to make equipment similar to it. . This shows that it comes from a manufacturer that is as advanced as the Empire, but neither belongs to Magic, nor science and technology, nor belongs to the gods. "

"In this way, it is impossible to be Fallen Apostles." Shandora whispered.

At the beginning, she had speculated that the black shuttle came from Fallen Apostles-because that thing might have come out of the abyss, and what we know now, in addition to the empire's "deep diving plan", will throw artifacts in the abyss field. , Only Fallen Apostles's "big cause", Shandora suspected that the black shuttle is what Fallen Apostles newly made detection equipment. And from the technical content of the latter, this guess is reasonable. Only after such a study by Tavel, the technical tree used by Hessot is not at all known for the archival records of Empire database-it comes from a third party.

"There will be such a super civilization in Void, but do God Clan and the Empire know nothing about it?"

My sister asked with a frown.

Tavel was silent for a few seconds, and said indefinitely: "theoretically, due to the infinite nature of Void, any speculation, as long as it is raised, is likely to exist. But in fact, in addition to the two major God Clan and Empire The probability of the existence of the four civilizations is basically zero. According to the information projection theory in Void and the information disturbance model between multiple Worlds, any civilization that is strong to a certain extent will have an information impact on the Void range that it can involve. A notable example is that due to the existence of God Clan's, most of the intelligent species in multiverse have evolved into humanoids, and due to the existence of Xiling Empire, almost all civilized civilizations in the Void quadrant that the empire has involved will produce MY13 and science and technology in at the same time. The concept of ': Even if they can only study natural science, they will have a longing for' Magic 'through fantasy works. Even if their World is only Magic, they will also dream of something like' science and technology ', which is Xiling Empire heyday The impact of the period on multiverse. The spread of this effect is explained by a very complex mathematical model, but you only You need to know the simplified version of the description, that is, the limit of information impact is equal to the maximum distance that the corresponding super civilization direct product can reach. This arrival can be physical contact or some non-contact observation method. "

Shandora seemed worried that I could n’t understand it, so I gave a simple example: “An example of the Empire is that where the to scan range of the detached garden is affected, we can affect the information impact of the ordinary World, where we are in sight. Within the scope, all World will produce the phenomenon of the two concepts of "science and technology" and "mysterious" at the same time, even if only one of the technical trees that World can really build until its death. "

"Then the black shuttle in front of me ..." I figured out the meaning of Tavel's words, "Since it can appear in front of our eyes as an entity, it is reasonable to say that the information about its creator should have radiated into the God Clan territory long ago. Now. "

Ilson took the conversation immediately: "The World management system can monitor similar information disturbances in real time. I am sure that until now this Universe has not been modified by high-level information-oh, except for the influence from your empire."

in other words, if the Tavel's mathematical model is correct, at least within the scope of common sense, the fourth civilization simply does not exist.

Since the creator of the black shuttle has brought this thing to our eyes, it is equivalent to having a connection with the God Clan's territory. If the creator is a civilization as powerful as the empire, then the World management system will definitely detect it. To the distortion within the range of World, if no distortion is detected, then the creator of Black Shuttle is definitely not super civilization. It's that simple.

But the structure of Black Shuttle itself shows that the technical means used to make it are at least equal to the Empire.

"Remember, it may have come through the abyss," Icetis pointed to the gravity-free platform. "Although it does not respond to the abyss now, when it appeared, 123's World management system was reported to the police. False alarm? The concubine doesn't think so. Maybe it was a true alarm, the door of the abyss did open, and then jumped out of such a thing, and then the door of the abyss closed instantly. The door was to send this thing Come out. "

Does the door of the abyss actively close like this? Icetis put forward a very novel and challenging three views. Anyway, in my impression, the door of the abyss has always done nothing, except when it was blown up by us, it will never take the initiative to close the door, but Icetis believes that appeared was indeed a short-open door of the abyss at that time, just to send the black shuttle to 123 World-the purpose is unknown, not even malicious.

Icetis Seeing that everyone is in thought, it reminds the second point just right: "In addition, you have heard the voice from the depths of the abyss. More than once. Think about the deep diving plan, think about Chen Xiaoshi ... Chen's Human Race childhood, he heard the voice. "

Everyone who knew these things on the scene was woken up by Icetis, connecting everything in an instant, as if a flash of lightning pierced the dark night sky, my dog ​​was blind ... No, I realized it.

"There is really a World at the bottom of the abyss ..." Tavel said blankly, and the sound seemed to be sleepwalking. "There is even a super civilization, they ... are also launching detectors, and one has successfully arrived!"

"Just guess," Icetis patted Tavel's shoulder, "theoretically is like this, right?"

"A whole new field!" Tavel suddenly awakened from a blank state, with an excited look on her face: when we feel pressure, the only thing she can think of is the inexplicable research challenge that excites herself. How to say, it is indeed a scientist of the empire, in the bones are all runaway.

I feel dizzy in my head, and I do n’t even know how to talk about the topic and gradually change to whether there is a super civilization at the bottom of the abyss. But no matter how unreliable this guess is, it is a possibility.

In the Old Empire era, the deep diving plan had heard the "voice" from the bottom of the abyss.

17 years ago, I even had a suspected experience of direct dialogue with the bottom of the abyss.

Every sign shows that there is a huge difference between the depth of the abyss and what we see on the surface. The depth of the abyss is extremely calm.

The black shuttle in front of us immediately triggered the alarm of the World management system when it appeared. It is believed that the door of the abyss was opened.

And this black shuttle is inextricably linked to me--it makes people think of the conversation seventeen years ago.

I shook my head vigorously and put these everything in disorder things aside for a while, looking at Tavel: "Do you think the maker of the Black Shuttle is a threat to the empire?"

"The subordinate is just a scientist, not a strategist," Tavel replied frankly, "but the subordinate can judge based on the information at hand that the other party is not threatening now."

"Oh?" Onee-sama raised an eyebrow.

"It's not easy for them to send this detector over," Tavel pointed at the black shuttle. "This detector uses a protective layer with a diameter of one kilometer to protect it, but that protective layer should be only for a larger system. component: It is used to protect the core, so there will be more supporting equipment outside it, such as abyss drive engine, navigation equipment, peripheral shield generator, or anything else that will allow it to advance all the way from the bottom of the abyss to Surface devices, no matter what the principles and functions of these devices, they should exist. However, we did not see these devices. "

"So they should have been destroyed during the 'floating' process, haven't they?" Shandora nodded and said, "Yes, a complete detector cannot be composed of only the core and the core protective shell. There should still be something outside that big ball, but it has been destroyed in the abyss for too long. It has been destroyed. A'Jun, you also mentioned that the sphere told you that its system is offline, in other words, can do nothing about it Establish a connection with your starting point ... There are indications that the detector in front of us is also an imperfect experiment. So even if there is a super civilization in the depths of the abyss, they will not be stronger than the empire, and it is less likely to be from the abyss. Come out. "

Tavel showed an agreeable expression, at the same time added: "Deep submersible ships of the Old Empire era once dived into the 'depth' of the calm zone, but the manned deep submersible ship did not have a final core that can be ejected, so in the end Stopped in front of the calm zone, and this detector seems to specifically absorb the experience of the Old Empire deep submersible ship. It is unmanned and may have abandoned all its peripheral equipment to allow this core to reach our World ... Feeling ... "

"Looks like an experiment conducted by both parties?" the sister said casually.

Suddenly, two words crossed my mind like lightning:
