The Arcturus Nebula has a very hidden cloud bay called 'Whale Bay'.

To be precise, Whale Bay is actually a small nebula cavity hidden on the surface of the Arcturus Nebula, named after its shape similar to that of a whale, and its volume is only 40 light minutes, only 500 light minutes away from the Oasis galaxy that has just occurred in the Dragon Plague.

The entire Heyue, even the inhabitants of the Oasis Galaxy, no one knew about the existence of Giant Whale Bay, in fact, not long ago, Zhang Yuan, as the governor of Heyue, did not know that it was Roland's memory that exposed the existence of this Cloud Bay.

Now, Whale Bay has become the dark nebula research center of the Heyue Galaxy.

The reason why this place was chosen instead of Flame Point, which has more abundant energy, is because of the special environmental conditions here, as well as the breakthrough in dark energy extraction technology.

There are no stars in the Bay of Whales, let alone starlight, there is a thick darkness everywhere, only in the center of the floating silent rocky planet, this planet is called 'Ghost', and the research center is 18 kilometers below the surface of this ghost planet.

On this day, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the dark space outside the ghost planet, and a few seconds later, a large engineering spaceship with a volume of more than 1,800 meters appeared in the air.

The ghost star has no atmosphere, and the movement of the spacecraft when it lands is very small, when the spacecraft approaches the surface, the ground suddenly cracks a huge black hole with a diameter of more than 3 kilometers, and the spacecraft slows down slightly, and rushes straight in, when the spacecraft enters the hole, the ground closes closely, and the surface is tightly sealed, with mountains, rocks, and uneven surfaces, and there are no traces of the existence of the hole at all.

Above the surface, the stone wall of the underground space lit up immediately, bright as day, the previous engineering spacecraft had stopped, and one by one the engineering robots were busy unloading the containers of more than 50 meters loaded on the spacecraft.

There are also many control towers next to the engineering robots, and behind the platforms are transparent pipes connected to the mountain wall, and the staff are busy in the pipes.

A voice echoed in the ears of the various staff members from time to time: "Be careful, be careful, this is the core component of the quark furnace, not a single nanometer flaw!" ”

"Light! Slow! This is a 9-dimensional gyroscope, which the governor bought for more than 20 billion star shields, and there are only 30 units in the entire Crimson Empire! ”

"Hey~ This is the most important, this is a superstring probe, it must be stable~ The limit of the angular momentum to bear cannot exceed 1 modulus, yes, it must be stable!"

“.......”

In the midst of this almost frenzied roar, the entire unloading process took 13 hours to complete, and the ultra-precision instruments were quickly sent to the laboratory prepared by the research center for assembly.

The assembly process was even slower, taking a total of 82 hours to assemble the quark furnace used to craft the 'Chaos Bronze'.

This furnace is pure black all over, and the appearance is a hexagonal high column, with a side length of 100 meters and a height of 50 meters, an absolute behemoth.

Next to the furnace, a short, almost ugly-looking engineer pilots a large engineering mech, and is putting the finishing touches on the quark furnace little by little.

This engineer is none other than Li Xianda, who Zhang Yuan recruited from the earth. Some time ago, he was already the chief engineer of the God of War Workshop, and he not only completed the high imitation of the main weapons of the Heavenly Workshop, but also developed many new weapons with extraordinary effects, which can be described as a meritorious achievement.

This time, Zhang Yuan set up the Nebula Dark Energy Research Center, and the first thing that came to mind was him. After a conversation, Li Xianda became the top head of the Dark Energy Research Center.

The quark furnace is an extremely precise instrument, and the process of debugging requires a very high level of professional knowledge and great patience, all of which Li Xianda does not lack.

Time passed little by little, and the engineering robot controlled by Li Xianda was like a solidified sculpture, almost motionless, and unless it was observed for more than half an hour, the various forms of the robot would change significantly.

Just fine-tuning little by little, every 8 hours, Li Xianda will rest for 10 minutes to quickly solve physiological problems, replenish water and body energy, and then continue to debug.

After his 20th break, after spending more than 170 hours, he controlled the engineering robot to slowly retreat from the furnace, and at the same time ordered the engineer on the control tower: "Okay, start the operation state debugging, pour energy, level 3 energy consumption." ”

"Hum~" The huge furnace shook slightly, and the entire laboratory also shook, and the engineers in the control tower around the laboratory were unsteady in their footsteps, and their faces turned pale, and they all looked at Li Xianda.

With the help of the engineering mecha's balancing system, Li Xianda stood steady, he lowered his head and looked at the various data displayed on the holographic screen in the mecha, and after about 5 seconds, he said: "The furnace is running normally, continue to pour energy, level 4 energy consumption." ”

At this energy consumption, the energy density in the furnace can easily allow the fusion of hydrogen nuclei, but this is still only the energy consumption for the commissioning of the furnace.

"Click~Click~"

As the energy infusion efficiency increased, there was a crisp popping sound in the furnace that sounded like ice cubes exploding.

This situation was not described at all in the manual, and the engineers on the control tower were stunned, and Li Xianda's heart was also racing.

You know, although it is only a test, the temperature in the furnace has reached an extremely terrifying level at this time, once there is a problem, it will explode immediately, and the ghost star will naturally be fine, but their entire laboratory will definitely be blown into powder.

The problem is that this quark furnace is almost the most advanced and sophisticated instrument of the Crimson Empire, and it is usually absolutely secret, and it is impossible for ordinary engineers to encounter it in their lifetime, and the people in the experimental center are naturally the same.

At this point, the engineers panicked.

"Chief Engineer, do you want to stop the energy supply?" The engineer who controls the on/off valve asked nervously.

Li Xianda let out a long breath, his eyes fixed on the energy waveform fed back from the furnace, his ears pricked up, listening to the sound of ice cracking in the furnace.

After listening to this for about 5 seconds, he suddenly said: "Ignore this sound, continue the function, level 5 energy consumption, ready to activate the superstring probe!" ”

"Boom~" After the energy supply continued to increase, the sound of ice cracking disappeared, replaced by a roaring sound, and the ground of the entire laboratory also shook, and the movement was very loud, even Li Xianda, who was in the engineering mecha, felt a little unstable, and the engineers who controlled the tower were all shaken!

Li Xianda yelled: "The gravitational wave resonates, continue to charge, level 6 energy consumption!" ”

The energy was quickly poured in, only to hear a 'hiss~~~' whistle-like sound appear, and then, the whole laboratory became silent, and the quark furnace in the center of the laboratory had changed color, originally dark and dark, but now it turned bright purple, and within 1 meter around the furnace, fine and dense transparent ripples could be seen.

You know, the whole laboratory is in a vacuum environment, and the ripples that appear at this time are not air heat waves, but superstring shock waves excited by ultra-high energy density.

Seeing this scene, Li Xianda exhaled instead, and he laughed: "The sound of ice cracking just now should be the sound of dark matter being shattered in the environment." Outside of nebulae, the concentration of dark matter in the environment is very low, so there is no such movement. Of course, this will not have an impact on the final result....... Now, activate the Superstring Probe and let's start experimental production and see if the resulting Chaos Bronze will meet the requirements. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

When the engineers of Giant Bear Bay were producing Chaos Bronze, on the blue mercury, Zhang Yuan was meeting guests in his manor, and there were 2 guests, one real and one virtual, the real one was Chu Mulian, the sixth princess, and the virtual one was a virtual image, which was Chu Muping, the third prince.

"Brother Zhang, this time, it's not an example. You know, it's a bit of a big move. Not to mention the rest, there are 30 units of that 9-dimensional gyroscope in the entire empire. I killed 7 of my cronies in order to cover up the whereabouts of this thing, and even then, I didn't deal with it. I guess my eldest brother and second brother are afraid that they are suspicious of me at this time. ”

In the virtual image, Chu Muping frowned, he could be described as full of sadness, he now regrets it very much in his heart, regretting that he did not resist the temptation of the 2 trillion star shield and caused such a big trouble out of thin air.

Chu Mulian on the side was originally just a companion in this conversation, and her appearance was just to adjust the atmosphere, so she had been silent, but now when she heard her brother's words, her body suddenly shook, and an incredible expression appeared on her face.

She quickly raised her head to look at her brother, and then quickly glanced at Zhang Yuan.

The elder brother looked sad, and Zhang Yuan's expression was as calm as ever, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Chu Mulian sighed in his heart, and had to speak: "Big brother, why are you so confused!" ”

9-dimensional gyroscope, this thing is almost the highest technology mastered by the Chu family, there are only 30 units in the entire empire, and there are no more than 100 things with similar functions in the entire starlight land, this kind of strategic treasure, why did the eldest brother give it to the governor of Heyue?

was questioned by his sister like this, Chu Muping's face was a little unbearable: "It's not giving, it's renting." The lease is only for 1 year, and after 1 year, Governor Zhang will return it as it is. Isn't it, Governor Zhang? ”

Zhang Yuan took a sip of wine and nodded: "This is natural." The period of 1 year will not be delayed for half a day. ”

Chu Muping looked at his sister again, and said seriously: "Little sister, you have been in Bi Mercury for a long time, and you don't know the situation outside. His father's health has been declining, and he is already looking for the prince of the empire, and he will decide on a candidate in 2 years at most. If the candidate is finally decided, but it is not me, I am afraid that our brothers and sisters will have a hard time in the future, especially now that I am the commander of the gray guard, I know too much, and my eldest brother and second brother will not be able to tolerate me. ”

"But brother, you ......"

"No, but. Sister, the blue water star is beautiful and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, which is a good place to cultivate sentiment. You've grown up, and it's time to settle down and learn the etiquette of a royal princess. ”

Chu Mulian no longer refuted and nodded yes.

Zhang Yuan on the side listened to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, and when the two finished speaking, he smiled and said to Chu Muping: "Brother Chu, the battle between the prince is dangerous and unpredictable. There is a case for everything, if there is an accident, my Heyue can be the back road for Brother Chu. ”

Chu Muping laughed when he heard this, and sat up straight: "Brother Zhang has a heart." Just as you say, we'll make this cup of wine. Come, sister, you're full, too. ”

Chu Mulian was full of wine, and after a glass was in her stomach, her white jade-like cheeks were as if they were stained with rouge, and her eyes drooped, covering the rich sadness in her eyes.
