Chapter 66: A New Direction
Rey turned and walked into a hallway. It was almost time for him to go, but before he could go, he had to meet someone. Rey turned a corner, walked forward another fifty meters, then turned to the right, raised his right hand, and pressed his palm against a shoulder-high square of sixteen centimeters on a pure black screen. "Identification, Captain Rey." A cold electronic female voice rang out, accompanied by the opening of the automatic door in front of Rey. A thick puff of white smoke suddenly poured out, startling Rey. "Ahem, ahem......" Rey coughed as he condensed a ball of pure energy in the palm of his left hand to absorb the white smoke. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes, frowned, and covered his mouth slightly with his right hand.
"Ah, someone's coming in!" "Who did this good thing, wow......" "Confinement! Confinement! "Late snack?! Who's going to help with a late-night snack? "Water! Where is the water?! "Who put ......" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Hey, hey! Which bastard ......" "Who...... Give it to me! ”...... At the same time, a bunch of noisy voices poured out. Although the third laboratory is called the third laboratory, it does not mean that the third laboratory has only one room. Although there were many experimenters who participated in the "Star Core Knife" test just now, they were not all the experimenters in the third laboratory. "Be quiet, you don't look like an experimenter." A gentle male electronic voice spoke, with an unmistakable tone, "Hurry up and get it in order!" This is very similar to the male electronic voice that Rey heard in the improvised communicator before, but it is a little more stable and aggressive.
"How? Didn't cause you any trouble, did I, Captain Rey? A figure stepped out of the thick white smoke and asked as he walked. It's okay, but I'm afraid it's not a good place to talk. Rey squinted his eyes and replied, "Sometimes I envy you mechanical elves who are completely undisturbed by this kind of thing. "Don't say that, we have limitations." The visitor shook his head and said. "I know." Rey replied with a slight increase in energy output. "Let's get out of here first." The other party looked around and said, "It's not good for your body to stay here for a long time." Although the thick white smoke obscured the other party's expression, the other party's concerned tone could not be faked. Okay, how about going outside the 'Sky Dome'? After Rey finished speaking, he turned around first. Also, thank you for your concern. Rey turned around and saw that the other man had followed, so he said softly.
"You're welcome." The other man gently followed Rey and replied equally softly. He walked with little to no sound, as if he were gliding on two wheels. The Byron, a place next to the exterior of the "Sky Dome" that is not used for the crew to stay on a daily basis. "What's going on there?" Rey couldn't help but ask. There was so much white smoke coming out, and it is estimated that the people inside were also uncomfortable. "Don't mention it." The other party stood a meter away from Rey, waved his right hand, and then said, "Pit." Removed from the white smoke, the appearance of the mechanical elf was also completely presented in front of Rey. He has pure white skin and short shoulder-length blond hair with hexagonal white lines that resemble solar panels. The slightly large eyes are pale yellow and have no pupils. His bare skin exuded a faint silvery-white glow, illuminating the slightly dark surroundings around him. His name was Palsis, and he used to live on the Elven space station of the Cell. And his younger brother Palas is one of the leaders of the experimenter's team just now. Palas is primarily responsible for the reconnaissance, documentation, and research of other items in the main experiment, while he is responsible for the research on the main project of the Third Laboratory, the Star Core Knife.
"Okay, I respect your privacy." Rey smiled and said in a very relaxed tone. For the next five minutes, neither side spoke. "You say, why can't the last barrier be broken?" Finally, in a somewhat frustrated tone, Parcis asked Rey, "It's so much ahead of the race...... Of course, I know that the more advanced you are, the harder it is to break down barriers. "It's just...... I feel like we're going in the wrong direction. Without waiting for Rey to answer, he said again. Can you tell me more about that? Rey asked, spreading his right hand. He felt his heart pounding violently, and Palsis seemed to say something important.
With Rey's permission, Palsis said unhurriedly, "You see, every time we experiment, the greater the energy we input, the thicker the barrier becomes; The more we compress the energy, the greater the bounce we get. If the target core is compared to a leather ball, our 'star core knife' is a needle. Our current research direction is to find ways to make that needle sharper, so as to puncture that layer of skin. The silvery glow on his skin seemed to brighten a little, but no one was in the mood to pay attention to it. He paused and looked at Rey, as if to ask Rey's opinion. "Go on." Rey frowned, then continued. "Originally, the ancient Helka people of the Byron designed the 'Star Core Knife' in the hope that this laser cannon could completely solve the problem of the weak energy attack of the Byron. And the meaning of the existence of the 'Star Core Knife' they think is to completely destroy a planet with elven energy from the star core. Of course, I think they just want to intimidate, not completely destroy each other. I've read all the information they left about the 'Star Core Knife', and they don't want to use the power of the 'Star Core Knife' to eradicate the alien planet at all. "Of course, they want extraterrestrial resources more than their fear of extraterrestrial forces...... Rey said bitterly to himself in the bottom of his heart.
At this, Parsis gasped. "And the purpose of our research on the 'Star Core Knife' is to use its penetrating ability to help us make a passage in the black fog. However, how can the 'Star Core Knife', which can't even penetrate the star core of a barren planet, meet our requirements? Seeing that Rey didn't show any signs of wanting to speak, Parcis continued to talk until Rey took over. Weird, isn't it? There is no trace of elves on the planet we are attacking today, but there is such a huge amount of elven energy in the star core. Rey clasped his hands over his shoulders and said in a somewhat helpless tone, "To break through that barrier, the strength of the attack must be at least the strength of the three elven explosive essences." Then, the barrier was breached, and maybe the next barrier ......""Exploding Essence? It's impossible for the Star Core Knife to withstand such a strong energy density. Palsis raised an eyebrow on her right, grimacing, and said.
He can't send people to attack the target in a flying machine, and when they attack, explode a sperm element to sacrifice himself and see if it has any effect on the energy barrier, right? Besides, what's the use of having it? Do they have to kill a few people every time they open a passage from the black fog? Then what else is there to do research, suicide attacks are coming a little faster. "You can't compress the energy too much, so you have to increase the energy flow rate to compensate." Rey spread out his palms, shrugged his shoulders, and curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Isn't this the direction of our research now?" "That's why I always feel like there's a problem...... Wait a minute! Palcis's frown suddenly relaxed, and he exclaimed, "Yes! That's right! The explosion of the essence! Rey, you're such a genius! ”
"Huh? What did you say? Rey asked, somewhat confused—startled by Palcis. Are you really looking for volunteers to explode the essence?! Rey asked, with a somewhat eerie, distorted expression - the only answer he could think of. Burst! Palsis couldn't help but laugh and replied in a somewhat out of tune male electronic voice, "Of course not! How could you think that? "Count, I didn't say anything just now." Rey replied with his right hand on his forehead. "Ahh Rey didn't ask about White Smoke just now, and Parcis didn't say much.
