096 Smart or not Smart?

After waiting for another two days, Hong Tao couldn't help it, even if he was smashed to pieces in front of him, it was more comfortable than waiting for death all day long. It just so happened that there was no problem with the two shuttles after being inspected by the second uncle, and they could be used with fuel.

The jump error is a bit large, close to 500 kilometers, and from a distance, the big gyroscope is still the same as it was, and no flying machines have been found around. When the full-range radio communication system was turned on again, there was still no response from the other party. After waiting for a while, Hong Tao made up another fifty kilometers, and it was still the same.

Little by little, the familiar sound came back when we entered a hundred kilometers, and the shuttle was locked again. But instead of waiting for five seconds, it only took more than a second for the shuttle to enter the transition state.

Overriding the jump engine is Claire's trick, and it's how she used it to make the ship invisible in the first place. Hong Tao can't play so delicately, he just keeps the jump engine at the critical point, which can greatly shorten the starting speed. Of course, this is very power-intensive and can only last for a few minutes.

"Hahaha, let me get it this time, it's worth it that you're just a bunch of programmed fools." Returning to the Future, looking at the footage taken by the mining drone that had been laid out in advance, Hong Tao finally understood a little.

Those drones do look very similar to autonomous drones, but they are not as intelligent as autonomous drones, and will only carry out defensive attacks in a designated area, and will not judge the situation and decide for themselves when to attack, when to defend, and when to chase and kill. After losing the target, he didn't even hesitate and returned directly, as if nothing had happened.

This way, there is no need to worry about them chasing them, and it also explains the previous question of why they have not actively attacked the Future for so many years. No matter who it is, as long as they don't enter the big gyroscope within a radius of a hundred kilometers, they won't move.

Whether this is the case or not, Hong Tao was really patient, and tried six or seven times in a row, until the master of the spaceship reported that the jump engine was frequently started and overheated.

The results of the experiment not only confirmed the guesses, but also tried out the approximate effective attack distance of the opponent, 70 kilometers. As long as they don't get within this distance, the three drones won't fire.

While the iron was hot, Hong Tao simply probed the other two artificial signal sources, one of which is very similar to the building of a small space station and a large spinning top, as long as it enters a hundred kilometers of defense circle, three drones will be dispatched, and the drones will return immediately after running out of this distance.

Another flat building about the size of a battleship did not respond, and Hong Tao spent four hours rubbing it to a distance of 40 kilometers and did not dare to make up again.

As far as he knew, this distance was the maximum range of a space torpedo. Large-caliber railguns can't hit small flying objects like themselves at all, and small-caliber energy weapons and magnetic rails can't destroy shuttles at once, but space torpedoes can kill with one hit, and they must not take risks.

"Uncle dear, jump to this coordinate point." What to do, Hong Tao's eyes turned to his heart, he couldn't risk his life, but there was something he could.

"Unleash a mining drone and get close to that building!" Don't get me wrong, Hong Tao doesn't want to use the mining barge as a meat bun, there are five mining drones on the barge, and it's not too distressing to spare one or two.

"Mallet, do you want to get any closer? If needed, the drone's collision avoidance program must be activated. Uncle Qin didn't say anything about this decision, and the mining drone flickered and slowly approached the target with a very irregular track.

It's almost face-to-face, and the other party still hasn't responded, does it mean that it has lost its defensive ability? Hong Tao really didn't think so, he had to rule out all possibilities before he dared to go over in person.

What if the other party can detect the model of the mining drone and know that it has no attack ability, so what if they deliberately put a long line to catch a big fish? This possibility is not impossible, it is still very big, so Hong Tao began to make mistakes again.

"Turn on the miner!" Although it is called a mining drone and is equipped with a laser miner, this thing is not fundamentally different from a laser energy weapon, except that the energy output is smaller, and the spectrum is more suitable for a certain mineral.

If the distance is too close, the laser miner can still dissolve the metal, and if it takes long enough, the same is true for silver-like super-silver alloys. If the other party is not afraid to make a hole in its wall, then endure and don't move!

"Send three more to the middle, and bring back some samples if possible." I can really bear it, the building is still as stable as Mount Tai for half an hour, Hong Tao gritted his teeth, I let you bear it, Lao Tzu is an ant, and you have to gnaw you into a hornet's nest little by little!

"Close, return!" After three hours of gnawing, four mining drones gnawed the surface of the semi-circular building into potholes, and the other party still did not move. Hong Tao still didn't dare to go over, but asked the uncle to scan all the losses caused today for the record, and then recalled the four drones and left.

In the next two days, as long as the second master does not particularly need the power assistance of the barge, Hong Tao will do this trick again. In addition to sabotage, he also brought back a lot of materials from the outer shell and interior of the building to the second master for analysis.

"You will learn less from your uncle in the future, why did you stutter in just a few days, what is it called, silver-like superalloy?" The second uncle's work attitude and efficiency are much stronger than those of the pro-uncle, and the analysis results were soon available.

It's not to deliberately belittle the uncle, the two of them are not at the same level at all, and there is no comparison. It's just that the second uncle is not as good at learning new things as his uncle, and he is always at a glance, and he doesn't like Hong Tao very much.

"......" saw it, the second uncle's attitude towards Hong Tao was difficult to be liked, it didn't explain, but threw out a bunch of data for Hong Tao to see for himself.

"If I can understand it, you're going to be useful!?" I didn't scold this sentence, but I just thought about it in my heart, after having the case of self-disciplined drones, sometimes Hong Tao is especially afraid of forcing the mastermind to reverse.

I can't understand the principle data, but I probably understand a little bit. These alloys are similar to, but not identical to, silver-like superalloys developed by the New Edens. It's like two carbon steels, the same type, but the subtle properties are completely different.

Specific to these two alloys, the newly harvested performance is more prominent, especially the recovery speed and resistance to heat energy are better, almost ten percentage points higher.

"How was the silver-like superalloy developed?" At this time, Hong Tao suddenly had a feeling that there would be some kind of internal connection between two very similar artificial alloys and two drones with similar appearance and performance?

"No entries found...... Do you want to connect to an external database? The second uncle still replied at a glance.

"External hair, if you can connect to the external database, I am willing to be your grandson!" Sometimes Hong Tao wonders how the mastermind's intelligent program is programmed, it has been sleeping here for decades, and when he wakes up, he can't fully understand the current situation. In this respect, it doesn't seem to be anything intelligent, and a ten-year-old child wouldn't be confused like this.

If he can't get an effective answer, Hong Tao can't pursue it anymore. The building, which didn't seem to have any defenses, didn't dare to go inside and investigate it at the moment, so it just put it aside and turned to scanning for other signals.

In addition to artificial signals, there are more than 40 natural magnetic and gravitational signals in this binary galaxy, about half of which are planets and moons, and the other half still needs to be approached to find out.

Two stars, nine planets, and eleven moons make up a binary galaxy inside a wormhole. The rest of the signals are all anomalous objects, such as icy rings, gaseous nebulae, and so on.

If you put it outside the wormhole, these are valuable things, from which rare elements can be collected, and they are indispensable raw materials for making space station fuel and large-capacity capacitors, and the market price is very high, and it is also very sought-after.

Usually these resources are bought out by large corporations, and there are not many over-collected stocks in the Gao'an region, and it is only possible to find them in remote galaxies. But it is not as numerous and diverse as the galaxy, which can almost be called a cornucopia of minerals.
