"No material related to the Prometheus program was retrieved." Emma gave an answer.

"Forget it, go down and see."

With that, he turned around and walked out of the center, and went through the elevator to the 24th basement floor.

The moment the elevator door opened, Tang Fang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sigh. It is an underground hall covering an area of thousands of square meters, and all kinds of armored vehicles are parked on the booth like commodities.

As you walked forward, you looked at the instructions for these armored vehicles on the monitor next to the booth.

"Wildfire" tank: Equipped with a double-barreled 80mm gun and a flamethrower, it can kill infantry in a wide area.

Medusa: A light off-road vehicle equipped with a 35mm beam weapon capable of reaching a maximum speed of 320 km/h.

"Mirage" Tank: Equipped with an optical camouflage device, it can effectively blend into the surrounding environment and launch an ambush on the target unit.

"Thunder King" giant tank: equipped with a double-barreled cannon, a retractable machine gun array tower against infantry, a six-link missile launcher, detachable tracked armor, a digging arm.

……

The entire hall is more like a weapons gallery, where each vehicle is a test model developed by the "Galaxy" Armaments Research and Development Center, but for various reasons it cannot be mass-produced, so it can only be parked here as a collection.

After a round of sightseeing, he finally walked up to a "Hellroar" attack tank, leaned down, pulled out a trackpad from the chassis, and typed a numeric password.

Not far away, ......there was a gas jet sound, and the outer armor of a large drone MCV (Mobile Base Vehicle) was unfolded outward, revealing the internal hive structure.

According to Emma's guidance, Tang Fang walked into a beehive, pressed the touch button casually, accompanied by a strange sound, the soles of his feet shook, and the platform slowly descended down.

Half a minute later. The lift bottoms out, and the sensor doors are retracted to both sides. Tang Fang stepped out of the elevator and entered the lobby on the 25th floor to take a look, and his face couldn't help but change.

Same as -24 floors. The open hall of thousands of square meters, but the distance between the top and bottom is much higher than the former.

Tang Fang stood on the upper floor of a zigzag staircase, and from a distance, there were five oversized glassware standing in the hall, which were filled with light blue fluid, and all kinds of conduits extended from the bottom of the utensils, the interface of electronic equipment, and the catalytic furnace diversion valve to a large laser instrument in the center of the room.

"Huh? What research is the military doing? He walked down the stairs as he surveyed the environment in the hall, not to mention the incomparably sophisticated scientific instruments, the fluid substance in the five oversized vessels alone was surprising enough.

Source zero. Many, many source zeros!

"Project Prometheus, what the hell is it?" Puzzled, Tang Fang slowly walked to the center of the hall.

The laser instrument is wheeled as a whole, and the 6 laser guns are aimed at a broken chip floating in the center of the wheel, and purple streamers flash rapidly along the lines on the chip.

Because the entire Aparus base has been shut down. The wheeled equipment also stopped working, and the whole hall was silent, except for the number jù model on the display of the electronic equipment, which was still rotating and changing.

"Emma, can you figure out what 'Prometheus' means?" Inserting the lead of the power armor into the number jù interface of a supercomputer under the wheeled laser instrument, Tang Fang asked casually.

"Decrypting the number jù, please wait."

After about 5 minutes. Emma's voice rang out: "Commander, decryption is complete." ”

"Speak."

According to official information, the Prometheus Project is a real project to decrypt a number of chips of unknown origin. Just like deciphering the technology of Ipsilon, in order to analyze the data contained in the chip, so as to obtain more advanced scientific and technological resources. ”

"Huh?" After listening to Emma's explanation of the "Prometheus" plan, Tang Fang couldn't help frowning: "So to speak. This broken chip has a number of things that are far more advanced than human technology? ”

"It can be said that by looking at the actual number of 'Prometheus', it is certain that the military is planning to use the method of deciphering the technology of Ipsilon to extract the scientific and technological resources on the chip. However, it is clear that they have walked into a dead zone, and 288 days have passed since the beginning of the implementation of the plan, and as for the research results, they are infinitely close to zero. ”

"Infinity approaching zero?" Tang Fang was taken aback: "Could it be that the technology level of this damaged chip is higher than that of the Ipsiloon civilization?" ”

"There is no way to verify, there is no number jù to refer to."

Tang Fang pondered for a moment: "No matter what, this thing can't stay in the hands of the military." ”

After speaking, he moved a lifting machine from the side, pressed the lift button, and slowly lifted into the air.

The chip was silently suspended in mid-air, and if you ignore those purple streamers, it looks like an inconspicuous piece of broken iron. After checking that there was no danger, he reached out his right arm and grabbed the broken chip out of the center of the wheeled device.

Originally, the chip was stationary, like a dead thing, who would have thought that as soon as the palm of his hand touched the chip, the pulse energy that revolved around the Ipsi dragon character on his forehead suddenly became furious, and before Tang Fang could react, it was like a rolling thunder tide, and it rushed straight into the broken chip in the palm of his hand along his right arm.

A dazzling flash of electric light flashed, and the arc hit the chip pattern, and the purple streamer that was originally as thin as a gossamer instantly flourished, bursting into a dazzling flash.

Purple light bursts out from the chip lines, like a 3D holographic projection facility, drawing strings of binary characters in the air that are constantly flashing.

"This ...... What is it? Tang Fang was stunned, and a pair of eyes looked directly at those binary numbers, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"Emma, Emma...... Can you see that? What do these binary characters mean? ”

After waiting for a long time and ignoring the response, Tang Fang was shocked: "Emma, what are you doing?" Why don't you talk back? ”

Still didn't answer, glancing at the string that was still beating, Tang Fang switched his attention to the system space, and the scene that appeared in front of him made him stunned.

The Zerg and Protoss bases are unharmed, but the human ones have reverted back to the gray locked state when they were not activated before.

"How so? Why is this happening? "The heart is heavy, like a thousand boulders, and it can't be pressed.

What the hell is this damn chip? Why does it affect the interstellar system in the mind, why is the god and insect race okay, and the single human race has changed.

gray, locked state, which ...... This is simply a return to the pre-liberation period, and the good mood of unlocking the heavy factory has disappeared in an instant.

Now that he is fledgling, without the support of the human base, how can he disguise his power with the gods and insects alone? And how to face the Crotan garrison?

"Damn it! Where the hell did this thing come from? In a fit of rage, he was about to throw the chip away, when the flow of binary strings stopped, and the purple light slowly disappeared.

At the same time, an invisible force forcibly pulled his attention back to his mind.

The system space has gone black and the cursor is flashing. RP
