Xiling Empire Chapter 1036: Not right

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

The deep submarine ship continued to travel in the abyss field for a total of three and a half days. At first glance, it sounded a terrible result. It was three and a half days. It was not even as good as some powerful empire Commander in the abyss field. There is a long period of continuous combat in it, but no one doubts it when you think about another thing: it has been heading towards the most polluted depth of the abyss, and the distance traveled has long exceeded the stability limit of the product World. Every time it takes a step forward, the pressure it has to bear will increase several times. In the first day, the deep diving ship may still be in the area that Shandora entered in that year. After that, it has entered completely unattended. Dead zone.

The design strength of the deep submersible ship in resisting the pollution of the abyss is far greater than that of any starship we have. It can almost permanently move when cruising near the gate of the abyss, only when it continues to penetrate the danger zone and arrive It will only collapse after a limit. According to the navigation speed of the deep submersible ship, the location of its collapse has already crossed the shallow abyss area, and it is very likely to touch the "stranger frontier".

The shallow area of ​​the abyss is described by Tavel's. She roughly layered the known environment of the abyss. The gate of the abyss is the entrance. The area near the gate of the abyss is the shallow area of ​​the abyss, where the pollution is not fatal. There are unstable channels that can pass safely between Abyss power-that is, the gaps that we observed when the fog surges, these unstable channels greatly reduce the danger of the abyss shallow layer, as long as these gaps can be found accurately , General intermediate Xiling Apostle can also fight in the abyss environment. There will be a clear dividing line when crossing this shallow area. This dividing line has never been observed, but Tavel inferred this point based on the data we extracted from the original database of the deep-sea submarine prototype ship. The existence of the boundary line, all the abyss fog should stop abruptly after this dividing line, the other side of the line is a zone of strong pollution with uniform concentration, where the abyss no longer shows a measurable state, the same depth of the deep dive On the level of abyss, the intensity of abyssal pollution in each space is the same, and as the depth of the deep dive increases, the area is doubled. This area is called the abyssal zone. Because there are no “superior” safe passages in the deep area, and there are no fogs that can be delimited, the deep submersible ship will face huge challenges when sailing in this area. There is no safe route for speculation and cleverness. The protective performance of the hull itself is dead. If the deep submarine can still advance after crossing that dividing line: even if it only advances an inch, it also means that the starship ’s design idea is correct, indicating that its protection system does have the characteristics of continuous work in the abyss field. Strength needs to be improved. It can be said that the dividing line between the deep zone and the shallow zone is also the dividing line that determines the fate of the deep submersible ship. If it does not successfully cross this line and survive in the deep zone for a short period of time, our deep submersible ship must be renewed designed.

Because of the inability to cross the dividing line, the signify deep-submersible ship completely passed the shallow area only by taking a safe path.

Fortunately, the submersible ship should have passed the dividing line on the second day of departure. Since then, it has been sailing for about 35 hours and has come into contact with the so-called "unknown frontier".

The unfamiliar frontier is Shandora's, which is used to refer to our existing science and technology's analytical limit to the phenomenon of the deep abyss. There is no obvious dividing line between that area and the deep abyss. The reason for dividing such a zone is also based on the data we obtained from the database of the prototype submarine ship. According to the records of database, after the deep submersible vessel reached the deep zone a period of time, all the research data began to decrease sharply. It seemed that the scientific research team led by Occam suddenly did not collect any useful information after going a long way in the deep zone. This shows that after deepening to a certain extent, the strange scene presented in the abyss field will be completely beyond the scope of the existing technology, and the shipboard instruments will be at a loss for any phenomenon that occurs in surroundings. The ship can still sail, but the crew no longer know the constellation surroundings-that is the feeling. Obviously, the division of strange borders depends a little on the level of shipborne instruments or our existing science and technology level. With the strength of the new empire's science and technology, strange borders will definitely arrive earlier than those that Occam encountered.

After the unfamiliar frontier, there are still two vague layers, namely "barrier zone" and "bottom layer". They are all areas under speculation. At present, there is no evidence to prove their existence, and Occam did not. Crossed the dead gate of "Unknown Frontier". Tavel just imagined a bottom layer for the abyss based on the "orderly signal phenomenon of the abyss" that appeared many times, and then added a "barrier area" above this bottom layer.

Now, 90% of all our assumptions about the abyss field are based on such guesses and inferences, and the deep dive ship or the entire deep dive plan is slowly filling these guesses to fullness. .

The door of the abyss is quietly suspended on the flaming red surface of the red giant star. surroundings is a circle of faint energy obelisk that is flashing regularly to maintain the stability of this door. From a distance, it looks like A small black hole was poked out of the radiant skin of the red giant star, revealing the dark real core of the planet ice-cold. From the appearance, the surface of the red giant star is stormy. The red red plasma hurricane whizzes through at a speed of tens of thousands of meters per second, while the gate of the abyss is like a pool of black water. The inner is just the opposite. There is order hidden in the turbulent surface of the giant star. Each beam of plasma fire erupting from it is built on the rules that can be accurately described by several mathematical models. In the scientist in the eyes, the red giant star is like a small flame burning quietly. As stable and silent, but the abyss is violent and distorted. It is strange, abnormal, and challenges all the laws of the material World. It unreasonably subverts everything: although it seems to be just a pool of black water without waves.

Two "Flyer" class medium-sized barges that were purposely modified were patrolling a few kilometers above the gate of the abyss. This distance was already equal to half of the foot stepping into the dead zone, so the "Flyer" class barge was also Tavel is equipped with a new shield specifically against Abyss Corossion. These barges are as practical as other common engineering ships. They are square in appearance, extremely flat in shape, and look like a playing card floating in space: playing cards up to 12 kilometers long. On the barge hull, there are several large rectangular openings that penetrate the entire spaceship. The edge of the opening is built with a Force Field traction system, which looks like an ancient refining well. In the center of this circle, the traction system leads to the barge hanger. space gate. The traction system can drag the goods over without touching the target, and space gate sends these goods to a high-concentration energetic environment. Under the energetic environment, the abyss is neutralized and purified, and the final cargo will be safely Save in hanger.

However, the "Ferryman" barge did not drag ability from the door of the abyss. In order to "fish out" the "drift bottle" from the opposite side of the door of the abyss, we still need some ... in extreme environments Special staff working, and this job must be operated manually: on this project, we cannot afford any accidents.

It is still in the space workstation next to the gate of the abyss. This is already the frontline command center of the deep diving plan. The staff of the planning team is closely watching the situation of the first engineering team. They have entered the abyss. The gate is now in the outermost layer of the shallow area. Although it is quite close to the safe zone of the main substance World, it is only relatively deeper. The engineering team has only limited protection. The "salvage boat" they use is also manufactured according to the principle of the deep submersible ship. However, due to trying to remove the physical material from the abyss environment, the salvage ship has a higher chance of being exposed to the substance of pollution. The whole work must be very careful.

On the communication screen in front of us, appeared is a bearded middle-aged man wearing an assistant technician uniform. He is the leader of the courageous engineering team. The engineering team established contact with the command center in the abyss field and transmitted the picture. There is obvious distortion and stuttering phenomenon-they are only a few tens of kilometers away from the command center, but the communication status is so optimistic, which makes me feel unreal at once, as if they are not extreme. The advanced empire science and technology is using old radio stations from World War II to talk to the Soldier.

Bearded middle-aged man has a strong body and a stiff face. Although he is wearing Researcher, I really think it is an imperial soldier wrapped in a white robe. Tavel introduced me to her subordinate assistant According to her, this is a "front-line field scientist". In short, it's more like rushing to the battlefield with dozens of tons of explosives while assembling a new type of bomb. An imperial characteristic technician who collects data on enemy casualties-no wonder he will lead the engineering team into the door of the abyss as an assistant technician.

"The environment here is harsh, the hull is slightly swaying, and the gravity in the ship has suddenly increased by 1%," the bearded "front-line field scientist" said gruffly, his eyes did not stay in communication for a long time. On the device, I scanned the surroundings quickly, and seemed to be paying attention to a lot of constantly refreshing data. "There may be many things trying to kill us."

"Pay attention to your shield readings. A new tide of pollution is occurring inside the door of the abyss," Tavel frowned, and one of her mass projections was monitoring the readings personally in the Youneng Obelisk by the door of the abyss. "It seems that there is continuous interaction between the information of the material World and the abyss field, which has made this door a little loose."

"Of course, chief technician." The beard's eyes flicked to the side, seemingly confirming Tavel's Warning, and then manipulated on the console skillfully, "We saw the thick fog, the scale is really large, easy The breath of the abyss has come into contact with the work boat, our outermost shield is self-decomposing, but it is far from the danger point, it seems that it can resist the impact. We ca n’t move the position, and those that fall off the deep diving ship The down safety database is returning, and their working condition is very bad, so I have just set the work boat as a temporary navigation tower, so that more database can come back safely ... Oh, shock ... Ziz ... "

The beard ’s voice was suddenly replaced by a huge murmur, and the picture from across the door of the abyss suddenly turned into a large group of twisted bright lines. The surging Abyss power destroys the ordered combinations in communication signal, causing them to become clutters of collapse and disorder. The brave and bearded man really resisted the impact with the work boat. Everyone was tense. Only Tavel remained calm: "It's just that the communication was interrupted. The design strength of the work boat is enough to face various crises in the shallow area. I understand that Vida ’s guy, he just likes to die, but he does n’t like to die. "

Sure enough, as Tavel said, the work boat soon reappeared in the contact list, barely heard the report of the big beard in the fierce clutter: "The impact continues, chief technician, we see a large gray-black … At least after the equipment is processed, there is a gray-black mist. They cover the work boat as if they can distinguish the work boat from their World. The shield system is rapidly refreshing, and the contaminated shield tries to explode inward, but It was stopped in time. We are still sending a navigation signal to the "Drift Bottle", the impact just now may have affected one or two of the database, and lost their traces ... Oh, oh, the work boat may be a little polluted, I am not sure , But just now two escape towers suddenly disintegrated ... "

Signal interference is very serious. The image transmitted from the opposite side of the door of the abyss has almost become a frame-by-frame image. The expression on the face of the beard is still light, but more and more are appearing in the control hall behind him. Alarm lights-it seems that the situation is not as relaxed as his tone. Shandora decisively ordered: "I will immediately rise, we will send the second batch of engineering teams down. Send a briefing on the status of spaceship, and I ask the team of scientists to analyze the cause of your pollution now."

"Maybe ... It ’s not so troublesome, we can deal with this small problem. Viham has gone to the base of the escape tower to check the damage. Now that the early warning system has not issued an alarm, our shield is still intact, this should be It ’s just an accident, ”the beard ’s voice suddenly became clear, and the picture returned to normal.“ Oh, the impact is over, and the coming and going is fast. Well, the chief technician, and your majesty, now let ’s confirm that we confirm Things: The database that fell off the deep submersible ship may have suffered a more severe impact than expected. We only received a total of seven navigation requests, yes, more than one hundred database, only seven of them returned to the shallow area alive, and Just two more suddenly lost connection. We have to stay here and continue to provide navigation for the remaining five database, they can no longer go home by themselves. More storms are taking shape once the navigation signal is terminated or in the second project There is a delay when the team switches, and those database have a 90% chance of being lost-that is the last bit of the whole plan, I must keep it State property! Do not send a second engineering team, we can put a minute later transferred out of the gate first database, please be prepared to receive. "

Beard's attitude is very determined, and it seems that the expert team he leads can really solve these problems, so Shandora no longer insists, but let them complete the task as soon as possible, and then let Tavel check it out.

Beard had a military salute, and then hung up the communication.

Soon, the barge waiting on the side of the door of the abyss received the "cargo delivery" signal from the engineering team. I do n’t know whose idea this is. The password for communication between them is this: open the door, you Courier ...

From the middle of the door of the abyss appeared, a tiny undetectable small vortex, and then there was a small thing flashing dim blue light out of the vortex, compared to the whole door of the abyss with a radius of hundreds of kilometers, this Lan Yingying ’s gadgets are as unremarkable as the sesame on the biscuits-well, I admit that I at this moment really lacks words. The work boat successfully captured the first floating database and transported it out of the door of the abyss, everything went well, when this sesame seed from the biscuits ... cough cough, it seems that it is quite difficult to turn the brain around, in short, it is this inconspicuous When the little thing floated out of the door of the abyss, the whole command center immediately filled with a relaxed atmosphere.

As long as one database comes back to us, the whole plan is more than half successful.

"Very well, we have observed the target-but it seems that the latter situation is not very good, its shield is almost extinguished, and it does not accept our external instructions, there may be a certain degree of system damage, but I hope the database security program designed by the scientists is still working ... our towing beam has caught it! "A report came from the No. 1 barge, and then we saw many radiated from the four walls of the center of the barge's rectangular channel A faint indication beam. These beams quickly wrapped the database group that had just floated out of the door of the abyss and quickly pulled it towards the space gate that was used to receive the goods. "A strong abyss reaction was detected. There is a danger signal pulling along Beam uploading ... The blocking system works well, and we have limited the pollution. This thing needs to be thoroughly cleaned, with a disgusting smell all over it. "

How big is an escape database? In fact, in the abyss environment, the smaller size signify is easier to obtain efficient protection. Those floating bottles equipped with navigation systems and the most efficient driving engines at present are only one car in size, and a "ferry" The size of the class barge is in kilometers. Using such a huge object to take a car-sized thing home, it looks a bit funny, just like Megatron carefully picked up a Della from the grass, but we did There is a reason: only a barge-like thing can carry a sufficient amount of equipment to ensure normal operation under the door of the abyss, and it also needs to be equipped with a set of "cleaning equipment" that can quickly clean the abyss. , Used to disinfect the drifting bottle that was just salvaged. We have not thought about letting the high-speed maneuvering small spaceship pass through the door of the abyss to recover database, which may be more efficient and not so funny, but there is a certain chance that the pollution will be extended to the salvation troops: the gain is not worth the loss.

Soon, the other database have been out of the abyss field under the guidance of the work boat. The entire salvage process looks smoother than we expected and will be completed. Among them, only one "drift bottle" was lost, it was seriously infected, the shield has been completely extinguished, the outer shell is twisted like a mess, this thoroughly abyssed machine within the body Department burst into the light of the eve of self-detonation, and came to the material World Immediately tried to disperse the abyss of the body by self-detonation-fortunately, there were a large number of sentinel guns in the vicinity, and on the eve of its explosion, the high concentration of phantom rays completely purified everything. The contaminated database only produced a small spark in space, but was instantly swallowed by the brilliant light of the red giant star, and then Tavel was distressed like something ...

"The first engineering team, your task is completed, return immediately."

Shandora breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the communicator.
