After listening to Spred's words, Zhou Xin thought for a long time before finally making a decision. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, even after making a decision, Zhou Xin's tone still looked a little helpless, "At this time, do we still have any choice?" Feel free to do it. ”

At this time, Dart asked, "What will happen if the final engine core repair fails?" Will it threaten the safety of the Voyager? Hearing this question, Zhou Xin was also slightly stunned, and then he looked at Spred on the screen with an inquiring eye.

"It shouldn't have much of an impact." Spred thought for a moment and replied, "The warp engine only uses the ability of neutron matter to distort space, and does not touch the explosive power contained in it. Dart was relieved by this answer, but Spred added, "But if we fail to repair the warp engine this time, the only result that can be produced is that the core of the engine is completely destroyed, and the possibility of repairing the engine is completely lost." ”

"In other words, there is only one chance to fix it? If we fail, we lose the warp engine? Zhou Xin was taken aback, and asked as soon as Spred's words fell.

Nodding slowly, Spred explained, "If the repair fails, the powerful space warping ability of the neutron matter will spread to the entire core area under the guidance of the engine, causing the entire core area to become part of the neutron matter. This process will be completed in a very short period of time, and there is simply no way for us to stop it. ”

Hearing this answer, Zhou Xin, who had already made a decision, hesitated again. But Dart immediately figured it out, "If we don't repair the core of the engine, the warp engine can't be used either." Is it possible that the engine is not repaired because it is afraid of losing it? It's better to fight for the success rate of 60%. ”

Dart's words convinced Zhou Xin, and he nodded, "It makes sense, we can't avoid medical treatment for this." Spred, do what you want, and I'll accept it for better or worse. ”

"In that case, let's move the neutron matter to the core of the warp engine." Spred nodded and said, "The fusiform device that stores neutron matter can only move to the entrance of the warp engine at most, what kind of tools do you have to use to move from the entrance to the core?" ”

"Does it have to be able to withstand high-intensity radiation and strong electromagnetic environments?" Zhou Xin recalled Spred's previous request.

"And it has to be extremely intelligent." Spred added, "There may be unexpected surprises throughout the restoration process, so the semi-artificial intelligence used by the robots on the ship today may not meet the requirements." ”

"What about letting ordinary people manipulate robots?" Zhou Xin suggested, but he quickly rejected his idea, "This doesn't work, and the stability of the communication signal cannot be guaranteed in the core environment of the warp engine."

"Chang'e." While everyone was meditating, the Voyager's voice suddenly rang out in the command module.

"Yes, why did you forget Chang'e." Reminded by the Voyager, Spred remembered the humanoid robot he had met in the first place. Then he said to Zhou Xin while thinking: "But I'm afraid it's not enough just Chang'e, and it may need some modifications." ”

"It's good to have the right plan." Zhou Xin nodded, "I'll transfer a bionic robot to you." ”

"In addition to Chang'e, we need an intelligent core." Spred reminded.

"Atlas?" Zhou Xin said subconsciously.

"Brother Captain, this is not appropriate." Atlas's voice rang out, "The core of the human being is an inseparable type, and if you want to perform this work, you can't use signals to control the robot like they do now, but you need to load the core directly into the robot." Let's not talk about whether small robots can carry people's huge intelligent cores, let's just say that if they fail, people will disappear completely. ”

"That would only be the core backup of the Voyager." Zhou Xin said to Spred.

"Although there is a slight gap in intelligence, it should barely be enough." Spred nodded unsatisfied.

"Then it's decided." Zhou Xin said, and then he asked Spred, "Now that everything is fine, when will the restoration of the warp engine begin?" How long will it take? ”

"The whole repair process should only take more than half a day, not more than a day at most." Spred replied, "As for when it will start, I need to check the structure of Chang'e before I can decide." ”

Next, without any extra nonsense, Spred directly ended the communication and went straight to the next work.

However, what Zhou Xin didn't expect was. In the process of Spred's examination of Chang'e. For the experiment that Candela had conducted, Atlas made a new discovery in Kazlan.

"Brother Captain, Brother Captain." Atlas's excited voice rang out in the command cabin again, and before Zhou Xin could ask a question, she continued to say mysteriously, "People have cracked a secret document in Kazlan's military database, which is related to Candela." ”

"Oh?" Hearing the last sentence, Zhou Xin immediately became interested, "What does the document say?" ”

"People also thought it was very strange about the attitude of the Kazlan military towards Candela, so they conducted a detailed search of the military's database, and finally found this secret document that had been sealed in a secret database." Atlas said as he placed the translated document on the screen. There's not a lot of content in the whole document, and it just takes up the entire screen. However, what was mentioned in it just explained Zhou Xin's previous doubts, and at the same time, it surprised everyone who saw the document on the screen.

In just ten minutes, Zhou Xin finished reading the entire secret document. But after reading it, he was still silent for a long time. As for the rest of the people in the command module, they were basically quiet, except for a few people whispering.

After nearly ten minutes, Zhou Xincai said in a tone of disbelief: "I really didn't expect that there is such a complicated truth behind the whole experiment. ”

What was recorded in that secret document was the attitude of the Kazlan military towards the Candela experiment, to the surprise of Zhou Xin. From the beginning, they knew what Candela was working on. But even so, they acquiesced to Candela's experiments to continue. Because Candela's published results introduce a completely different method for extracting neutron matter than their existing methods. After argumentation, the Kazlan military concluded that although the method mentioned by Candela was at least twice as efficient as the existing methods for extracting neutron matter, there was also a danger of more than double the increase. But even so, instead of stopping Candela from continuing his experiments, they offered him ample conditions to improve his extraction methods.

Unexpectedly, this approach, which initially had the idea of just trying it out, brought unexpected results to the Kazlan military. On the premise that Candela's experiment had a probability of more than 90% failure, he succeeded in extracting a small amount of neutron matter. And then to their surprise, Candela not only made a lot of improvements to his experimental methods, but also greatly reduced the danger of the whole method. Not only does his method exceed the efficiency of the original method by at least double the efficiency, but also the security is basically the same as the original method. Seeing this, the Kazlan military naturally had no choice but to start blocking the news and taking the necessary measures against Candela and his laboratory. At this point, the record in the secret document is over, and as for Candela's escape later, there is no text in the document.

"Actually, there is not much wrong with what the Kazlan military did, and it is true that such an important strategic weapons laboratory cannot be in the hands of private individuals." After Zhou Xin spoke, Dart said, "It's just that what they did at the beginning was not quite suitable, even if it was an unproven method, and the Kazlan military should not let Candela experiment on his own." The next steps to reclaim the military were a bit more blunt, and if they had taken the time to explain it to Candela, perhaps the rest of the story wouldn't have happened. ”

"I'm afraid until Candela died, he didn't know what a terrible thing he had made of 'that substance that belongs to all mankind.'" After listening to Dart's words, Zhou Xin smiled bitterly: "Now the whole thing is complete." Who would have thought that it was the attitude of the Kazlan military that led to Candela's flight. And this escape incident has become the fuse of the subsequent series of wars. ”

"Wars start and end because of neutron matter." Dart sighed, "This may be the fate of these two civilizations." ”

"Thankfully, this end is only temporary." Zhou Xin spoke with a hint of happiness in his tone, "If the civilization and all life on Songxing are really completely destroyed because of this war, I really can't imagine how the Kazlan people who know the truth will feel." He then instructed Atlas, "Send a copy of this document to the community, and they have the right to know the truth." ”

At this point, the truth of everything has been placed in front of everyone, and Zhou Xin's investigation of the entire planet can finally come to an end temporarily. All that remains is the repair of the warp engine.

However, the renovation work that Zhou Xin originally thought would be completed soon took a whole week to close to completion. And that's on the premise that Spred doesn't take more than six hours of rest a day. After all, the next work of repairing the core of the warp engine is too important to tolerate a single error, and anything that could cause problems with the robot needs to be adjusted, and there are many difficulties involved. In the end, the entire prototype of the bionic robot was replaced with parts that are not exposed to strong radiation and strong electromagnetic influences. Not only that, but nearly 10 percent of the systems in the robot have been specially modified. It can be said that the bionic robot that has been transformed is already a new model. Even so, Spred was still a little dissatisfied, but there was no better way to do it now, and he had to reluctantly inform Zhou Xin to prepare to carry out the next maintenance plan.

Looking at the bionic robot that appeared on the screen and was not much different from Chang'e, Zhou Xin asked suspiciously, "Has the transformation been completed?" Why do I feel the same as the original? ”

"The appearance does not have much impact, mainly because the internal structure has been renovated to a large extent." "But even then, there are some unsatisfactory aspects of this retrofit model, the most serious of which is that it only lasts for eight hours." There is no way, and you can't use a robot that is too large. To be able to transform it into what it is now, we have done our best. ”

"People have come up with a lot of ideas in it." Atlas added.

Without bothering to praise Atlas, Zhou Xin looked at the robot carefully for a while. Then he let out a sigh, "Now that the robot has been transformed, when will the restoration of the core begin?" ”

"Although I'd love to say now." Spred smiled wryly, "But as I said earlier, this modified robot can only last for eight hours. There was not enough space in the core of the engine to fit into two robots at the same time, and the installation of neutron matter could not be paused in the middle of the process. So I also need to take some time to figure out how to keep the whole repair process as short as possible. ”

"It's been a lot of twists and turns." Zhou Xin said helplessly, and it didn't take long for him to be relieved, "But I've been waiting for so long, and I don't care about waiting for a while." Then he reminded, "Since the success rate is only 60%, don't go wrong in the process of repair." We can afford to wait, you don't have to rush. ”

Spred nodded, "Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry." Okay, no more wasted time, I'm going to figure it out. Without waiting for Zhou Xin to answer, he ended the communication.

Looking at the pitch-black screen in front of him distractedly, Zhou Xin didn't know what was going on in his heart. After a while, he shook his head, and said as if to someone else, as if talking to himself: "There is a sixty percent chance, and there are all kinds of uncertainties, I really don't know if I can succeed in the end......"
