As we all know, the last thing that is lacking in laboratories is experimental samples, at least in non-living materials, but there are exceptions.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, in a laboratory of the Century's experimental department, Fang Chenxi was opening what Rhodes gave her. Because the box has a plate structure, it can be opened very quickly by just one adult. When the nano baffle at the top was removed, its entire shape was displayed in front of Fang Chenxi.

Remove the protective frame, and that's complete. Fang Chenxi lightly touched it with her hand, and learned that it was a nanomaterial, and she guessed that it was just surface armor. Looking at it all, it is cigar-shaped, with a bullet-like head and a flat tail without an engine spout. Well, this is an escape pod. Looking at the tail hatch, there was a display, she clicked it, but there was no response. There were flat cuts near it, which were caused by molecular cutters, and it seems that Rod didn't want to spend a lot of time cracking them.

Fang Chenxi put on his equipment and used the laboratory platform to pull out the hatch and hang it aside. To enter the inside of the capsule, you need to hunch your waist. Measuring the space inside, it is enough for one person to survive, but the space for material reserves is very limited. Preliminary inspection, the power is completely exhausted. She pried open the only electronic screen, connected the internal power lines to the lab, and waited for a few minutes for the system to start and the lights to come on. Judging that the fault may be a damaged power line, when he started to replace it, Fang Chenxi found that it was not the problem, but the CPU and memory chips of the motherboard were broken.

"Is this artificial? Even if the motherboard breaks, there will be no problems with the CPU and memory chips. Fang Chenxi realized that this matter was not simple, and she was about to look for the code of this escape pod, but after about ten minutes, she gave up. Since there was no coding on the inside, and the code on the outside was badly damaged, with only two capital letters "CA", she guessed it might have something to do with it.

Fang Chenxi was busy for almost two hours, and she came to several results for this escape pod:

1. Artificial escape pod, with a dormant device, but very rudimentary.

2. There is no note stating its production date and standard starship, the only code is damaged.

3. The CPU and memory chip are damaged, and the logbook cannot be read and written.

4. On the currently known starships, there is no matching escape pod, which may be customized.

So...... This escape pod had no knowable value, which made Fang Chenxi speechless for a while. She rested for a while, and began to pack up the experimental equipment, and when the hatch was closed again, she suddenly realized - in fact, Bai Fengyi didn't need a lot of reasons to come here, everything was so sudden, he was just an ordinary person, what would be extraordinary? Wouldn't it be good to send him back to Earth to live when he recovers?

Fang Chenxi then installed the protective frame for the escape pod and closed the nano baffle, so this thing returned to the way it was an hour ago. Fang Chenxi took off the equipment on his body and prepared to transport it back to the storage department. It's exactly two o'clock in the afternoon.

Due to the limited space of the general passage, Fang Chenxi arranged for it to be transported for logistics, which is not only safe and convenient, but also can avoid the flow of people. Generally, there will be one or more logistics channels on the outside and inside of the starship, and the external channels have weak gravity, which is suitable for heavy and large objects; The internal passage is located on the central axis of the starship, which is suitable for objects with small weight and small volume.

After getting ready, Fang Chenxi personally bound the escape pod to the cargo platform and watched it move towards the outer passage. Because there is no airliner in the outer passage, there is usually no one to escort it, but there is no need to worry about losing it.

As she left, she overheard the staff discussing privately:

"I heard that today the ALC (Astronautical Council) sent people to conduct a surprise inspection, and it has already begun."

Someone immediately asked, "Guess why you chose to do this on the day of the new captain's appointment?" ”

"Who knows, Eric was originally the captain of this starship, and the ALC determined five years ago that he would take office on the first day of the new century."

"Actually, there's nothing to discuss, think more about how to earn points and go home for the New Year."

……

Fang Chenxi only heard these words, she was very glad that the escape pod was sent to the external passage, but she didn't care much about ALC's action this time. Eric was appointed as the first captain at the beginning of the design of the Century, and Rhodes was the chief designer and interim captain of the Century, both of whom were personally appointed by the ALC, so they would not be a reason for inspection. Eric told her about the escape pod at noon, so the ALC only wanted to use this incident to search the Century. It seems that the matter is as simple as that. It's just that...... Fang Chenxi thought of He Chuan again, she hadn't heard from him for a long time, this time she suddenly appeared, what kind of storm did he want to set off?

In the western part of the continent of Asteo, the capital of the Republic of Xiadan - Yatyo. It is a large city on the edge of a mountain cliff, bordering the Atlantic Ocean and across the ocean from the Akalot Empire. Looking down from the sky, it can be seen that it is composed of two parts, the area with dense tall buildings and high traffic flow is the economic zone, which is square in shape. Others are industrial parks and residential areas, which are attached to the economic zone. Due to the regional time difference, the time in Yatyo is now noon.

On the roof of a building in the economic zone, the goddess Noshi stands by the fence, inspecting the alien civilization she is looking forward to. She raised her right hand, the things that were important to her had been lost, and she looked silently at the body that did not belong to her, and a trace of jealousy arose.

At this moment, a light snow fell in the sky, and it fluttered and fell on her cloak, melting into small droplets. She smiled contemptuously: "Why? Why is the human mind dominated by the senses? It's ridiculous.

So, should I have hope for humanity? My goal is to explore the nature of humanity and eventually destroy them, but it seems that this is just the beginning. ”

A red light flashed in her right eye, and she continued, "Program 178, set to unseal her mind and close some of her memories after five days, and enter surveillance mode at the same time. ”

Noshi slowly spread his arms, then jumped down from the steel-and-iron city, and then performed a leap of faith in the air hundreds of meters in the air. Ten seconds later, she vanished just as she was about to touch the ground. During this time, many people around her watched and even took pictures and videos, but they didn't see how she disappeared, all of which was really weird. But there is a plausible explanation, and that is zero force.

The eastern part of the continent of Asteo - the Qin Empire, a country keen on developing weapons and developing technology, has an unrivaled legal system compared to its extremely open and free neighbor, the Saikewei State (full name), and is very peace-loving. In the central region of Qin, on a deserted plateau, the world's top R&D base, Area 24, is secretly developing a high-energy weapon, codenamed 237.

The 26-year-old, a Ph.D. in physics in District 24 and the main person in charge of the 237 project, has been here for three years and this is the first time he has taken on an important mission. If, three days later, the 237 experiment was successful, he would go down in history as a household hero. If it fails, it's normal.
