Chapter 371: Exploration
However, after careful consideration, the final balance found that this was not the case, because all these lost functions involved one aspect - the transformation and reorganization of matter.
But why do worm libraries and particle memory work?
Natasha said her guess and relieved Truong of his doubts, which was similar to what Culprit had thought about for a while:
"There is one thing that these functions that involve the rearrangement and recombination of matter need to go through, and that is the template fragment of the source of our power or the divine source core ......."
"You can think of them as computers, and the transformed matter is data that needs to be connected to the Internet to run, such as chat software or online games, and you have to be connected to the Internet to use them...... This network is the connection between us and the Giver's Main Station! ”
She said, "Outside, we can do it anytime, anywhere, here...... Well, to put it simply, it's outside the service area where there is no signal, so these functions can't be moved. ”
"And particle memory can be moved because the things in them belong to the data that is already in the computer, as long as the computer is good, it can naturally be used."
The doubts were answered, which made Zhongheng breathe a sigh of relief - theoretically, as long as he went out, these functions could be restored, and Xiaoqian could be resurrected.
So, here comes the question - how to get out.
Natasha gave another provisional answer:
"If you want to get out, you have to at least find out this place first, that's why we need to wait for you to wake up, Mr. Lu Zhuoran......"
So far, she simply doesn't hide it: rather, Mr. Zhongheng...... We need your abilities to scout, find a path and map it.
The old bottom was lifted all over again, which made Zhongheng very unhappy, but he also understood that now was not the time to care about this, so he promised:
Yes.
Without further ado, after agreeing, the insects were sown out, and Zhong Heng also took out the brainwave collector and laptop link that everyone in the rear gave him, and turned on the mapping software to draw a rough three-dimensional image.
Although the insects in the worm bank were almost lost in the previous battles, most of the dead were poisonous insects, non-poisonous insects or combat insects, such as engineering insects, or auxiliary insects such as flies, mosquitoes, dragonflies, and cockroaches used for reconnaissance. These insects, because of the importance attached to the reconnaissance of battlefield informationization, have been retained in the final balance, and it is enough to spread them now.
Dragonflies fly fast, with a dragonfly carrying several other bugs, as an aircraft carrier, every once in a while to drop a bug for observation, with after many upgrades have reached a 32-kilometer long control range, the situation was quickly figured out.
As mentioned earlier, this alien space seems to be a starship's bioregion, and the final balance has not only found several different terrain and landforms such as mountains, rivers, forests, depressions, deserts, hills, etc., but also found many traces such as footprints and settlements that seem to have been left by biological activities.
It's just that since this place was abandoned along with the battleship, there is no longer any fresh breath. Just like the forest before it, the creatures here are dead.
After shopping for a long time, not only did he not see any traces of protozoan activity, but he didn't even find a cockroach and a fly like an insect Zhongheng, and even new beings like them who were swept in, such as evolutionaries or Atlanteans, did not see Zhongheng.
As far as the eye can see, it's a lifeless world, and the only proof that it has ever lived are the occasional glimpse of shapeless corpses, and the rivers are mostly depleted, except for the ruins of dry rivers and a few puddles.
The reason for this is that the energy system was abandoned after the destruction of the artificial warship, which led to the interruption of the connection between this place and the outside world, and the destruction of light sources such as the artificial sun, which caused the plants to die in a large area due to the inability to photosynthesize, and then led to the collapse of the entire ecosystem under the chain reaction.
The bugs are not only flying outward, but also trying to fly upwards to get a better line of sight and to explore the properties of this seemingly small universe of different dimensions. Kai was still worried about whether it would be too high for the insects to reach, but after some investigation, he found that he was still too worried.
The height of the sky here is only about 100 meters, and above there is a dirty gray mist like the ground of a small universe. However, the end of the four directions here is not like a small universe that penetrates from one end and then comes out of that end, and from a distance it looks like a towering iron wall.
This space is an irregular shape, about 70 kilometers through the longest two ends of the middle, and the shortest place is about 40 kilometers, and the direction of Zhongheng and the others is about south-northwest, less than 10 kilometers from the nearest wall.
The border was irregular, so the top of the iron wall was not unbroken, but it was also like the top layer, and the final balance tried to drill with bugs several times but found that there was no place to drill through.
Now that the general situation is clear, it is time for the next step - to visit and investigate.
Although this space is large, it is not difficult for the four people whose physical fitness is at least ten times that of ordinary people, not to mention that after the task in the hands of Zhong Heng, there are also a number of armed off-road vehicles and the Black Hawk helicopter that has been repaired and equipped with an autopilot program by Lin Yuxian, as well as an anti-gravity vehicle and other vehicles and reconnaissance tools such as drones with scanning devices, reconnaissance vehicles, and microrobots, and it took about 20 hours to go around the edge point.
It's a pity that even if the swarm released by the final balance can cooperate with reconnaissance to not miss any corner, no exit can be found.
Moreover, there is another discovery that is also very desperate - through the breath sensing of the moth, Zhong Heng can only feel some faint fresh breath in the air.
These are the bones that outsiders like them have left behind after the fierce battle, and it has been proven by the corpses.
Apart from them, there is no living existence in this dimensional ruin, not even a single cell.
"It's really strange that there isn't even a single bacterium in this world, and the occasional little is estimated to be brought in by us, which is too abnormal!"
Through ability perception, Jiang Allen, who is very sensitive to this aspect, reported.
While exploring the way and scouting, Zhong Heng also "revisited" the places where the battles took place, and combined with Condensation Frost and Natasha's description, there were a total of three battlefields.
The first place, needless to say, where Zhongheng entered, was in the middle of a large pit with a diameter of three or four hundred meters that was blown out by self-exploding insects, and some scattered insect remains can occasionally be found around the pit, and the insect used as protection caused a forest fire due to the high temperature of the shell melting, burning the entire dead forest at the landing site to ashes, and there is still a little black smoke left;
In the second, where the condensation frost collided, one of the evolutionaries detonated a nuclear bomb. Although it is only a small one, its power should not be underestimated, and the ground near the detonation point is covered with a layer of nuclear radiation, and the air is also filled with thick nuclear radiation smoke.
There was no wind in the small world, but there was no ventilation either, and through the Geiger counter that he carried with him, he found that the radiation concentration here had exceeded the normal level, and the value had reached 500 units, although it was not more than the level that ordinary people could bear, it was very dangerous.
If ordinary people go out from here, it is easy to die of leukemia, tumors and other radiation complications, which is very resistant to them, as long as they don't run to the center of the nuclear explosion, the impact is not great, anyway, it is just a depression, and the radiation dust has not penetrated too much.
The third place, where Natasha came in.
Coming in with her was a level 5 Atlantis led by a biological armor team, because the place where they fought was a lake, and the leader was injured and killed by her first, the rest of the trash fish were naturally cleaned up, and these guys were all frozen in the ice.
The temperature is very low, and the puddle with a diameter of about a kilometer has also been frozen, and the ice has not melted until now, and the bodies of these guys are naturally well preserved, and they have not self-destructed.
Speaking of gains, it is worth mentioning that on the ground seven or eight kilometers away from the nuclear explosion site, the final balance also found an additional - the particle memory of the evolutionary who sacrificed himself to detonate the nuclear bomb and die with the Atlanteans.
I don't know what this thing is made of, and the nuclear explosion didn't even cause it to lose the slightest, it was blown out and embedded in the stone wall of a mountain, and was picked up by the final balance using the few remaining flying insects that were used for experiments but could not fight.
At the same time, there was also the divine source core of the guy found through the induction module:
Host Name: Huang Hao (Evolver 0889, former, deceased)
Template Name: Thunderbolt Template
……
And one more:
Host: Katya Losniava (Evolver 0238, former, deceased)
Template Name: Molecular Morphology Template (transforms its own existence form, but only in solid, liquid, and gas three modes of existence, and can also change body density)
……
The two living people, who were both strong in their lifetimes, fell like this, especially the one in the back who had seen and talked to each other with Zhong Heng, and he couldn't help but feel a faint sense of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Out of respect, he gave Katya's Divine Source Core to Natasha, took Huang Hao's, erected a simple tombstone for the two evolutionaries and mourned for a while.
After circling the entire outer rim and finding no way out, several people turned their eyes to the vast area in the middle.
However, after several days of carpet searching, not a single useful clue was found.
This means that the situation has reached the worst
- The four of them are trapped alive in this land of death!
