Time passed slowly, and a day later, just when Zhang Yuan and others were urgently developing countermeasures against the digital virus, the high-speed shuttle unit in front successfully returned and brought back valuable close-up photos.

These ultra-high-definition shooting instruments are all specially treated, and coupled with the ultra-high-speed movement of the high-speed shuttle, the possibility of viruses is extremely low. Comparing these photos with the videos transmitted by the front-line investigation robots may reveal more valid data.

After a while, an exploration unit from a hemispheric civilization sent another message, and they really found a series of data anomalies.

Located 120 kilometers east of the base of the Toth civilization, there is a very strange silver-white circular field, which is covered with very strange "iron balls".

These strange iron balls are inlaid in the silver-white square, with a diameter of about 150 meters, and there are about one hundred and fifty of them. The optical properties of these iron balls appear very strange, almost fully reflective, shiny, like a large piece of mercury.

The most important thing is that the exploration robots of the hemisphere civilization did not actually explore this site, and when they approached the circular square, they all changed direction and ran to another place.

This fact is still analyzed after the data investigation, because almost all robots have made this action in unison, as if they are avoiding this circular place, which seems quite wrong.

This fact quickly got all the staff members on their radar.

People began to urgently analyze the photos taken by the high-speed shuttle, and these photos are more realistic.

Zhang Yuan frowned, and quickly glanced at the photos, above the silver-white square, there seemed to be a huge transparent glass cover. The hemisphere recon robot turned around 12 kilometers from the sphere, but did not emit any misinformation, as if it was hidden by an invisible hand.

If it weren't for the photos brought back by the high-speed shuttle, the hemispheres might have really ignored this silver-white square.

"Could it be that the role of the digital virus is just to allow the investigation bot to avoid that area? Not...... Unlikely. ”

Li Zhendong sat in his position and whispered: "This thing can't be a new type of military weapon built by the Toth civilization, right?" ”

Zhang Yuan shook his head: "It doesn't look like it, how can there be a weapon like this, but it's a bit like a spaceship...... With the curvature engine, a round ship is also quite good. ”

"Why would the machines of hemispheric civilization avoid this place in unison?"

"The cause is still under investigation."

One of the military experts said, "Then send one of our robots over and take a look." ”

"Our robots have been poisoned too, right?"

"yes, that's why it's forced to go over and see what happens?"

Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Then send a P-113 model robot to directly attack this circular square with missiles and launch it at an iron ball!" ”

Li Zhendong touched it and thought: "I remember that the P-113 model missile uses gyroscope navigation. ”

"Yes, we need to test the characteristics of this digital virus!"

After this order was issued, the people waited patiently for another 20 hours.

High-speed shuttles, running over to take pictures, these soldiers undoubtedly took a huge risk, even high-speed shuttles, there is a risk of being shot down.

As a result, a P-113 robot of the new human civilization, after firing a missile, actually shot crookedly! Instead of hitting the circular square, the missile landed in a more remote corner and exploded.

Immediately afterward, under the mandatory command of the humans, the robot turned on its own power engine and rushed frantically like a tank, only to stop at a distance of 12 kilometers from the ball, and turn around.

P-113 doesn't work?

This fact shocked and frightened everyone.

If the robots of the hemispheric civilization deliberately avoid this area, it may be that their technology is not good, or it may be that the robots have some bugs, because the Thoth civilization is indeed very good at electromagnetic interference technology in this area.

But the robots of the new human civilization are wary of this aspect.

The new human civilization and the Thoth civilization have spent a lot of time together, and they also have scientific and technological exchanges with each other. It is unlikely that these robots will be completely paralyzed all at once, without even a single bit of information being transmitted.

This large square full of round iron balls, there is a problem, there is a big problem!

After reaching this conclusion, everyone gasped and was inexplicably a little excited.

What people fear is that there will be no breakthrough, but now, a breakthrough has appeared.

One of the experts explained: "...... It's a mysterious weapon that we don't know about that has disabled these robots. According to the information we have gathered so far, there are several different reasons for this. ”

"The first is some kind of electronic jamming attack, probably after reaching the 12-kilometer border, that square sent a series of electromagnetic pulses that paralyzed our robots."

"The second is the physical nature of the attack, such as the miniature laser, a miniature laser that traumatizes only a few millimeters, but is already capable of substantially damaging our robot. As long as a few small holes are punched in some key parts, the robot will naturally be scrapped. ”

"Third, as Professor Zhang said, it is the digital virus that is playing tricks! A digital virus may have manipulated the robot's operation, causing it to malfunction to some degree. ”

"In my opinion, the last possibility is the most probable!"

When the expert said the last few words, he was visibly nervous, "but it is still difficult for us to judge the logic behind the outbreak of these digital viruses." Is it to protect the silver-white circular square? What are the iron balls on it? ”

"Or is it the digital virus that these iron balls are emitted?"

Zhang Yuan frowned, the digital virus can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction blow from a high-level interstellar civilization to a low-level civilization. Because the lower civilizations have no way to study it. If human beings do not possess virtual world technology, they may be the same as hemispheric civilizations, even if they know that there is a huge treasure in front of them, they can only be in a state of blindness.

Level 5 or Level 6 civilizations have a deeper understanding of the quantum randomness of intelligent life, so they are able to create a digital program that can change dynamically.

This digital program is somewhat similar to intelligent life, but it is not really life. According to human understanding, 1 represents real life, and 0 represents non-intelligent life, it seems to be an intermediate number between 0 and 1, 0.1, or 0.5. It's just an unimaginable abstraction.

These digital viruses are able to spread through electromagnetic waves, are almost pervasive, and infect chips with computing power.

The only digital virus sample of mankind is the "10,000-year-old worm" virus captured during the war with the Badit civilization. But the characteristics of the perennialist insect and this new virus are completely different, and there is no way to learn from them.

If human beings can really control the unknown digital virus, and they don't even need to control it completely, they only need to be able to use it, it will be a huge progress, and it will be able to reduce the dimensionality of the remaining fourth-level civilizations.
