The Poseidon is gone, like a dolphin swimming in the shallow sea in the darkness of the night, its figure gradually disappearing into the dark universe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The tail flame was also getting smaller and darker in the void.

"Let's hope it's a smooth journey!" Zhou Chen's gaze left the display screen, and he sincerely blessed in his heart.

It would take twenty years for the Poseidon to reach its destination, and over the next 32 days, the Poseidon will continue to accelerate to 0.7 times the speed of light, at the cost of more than half the ship's mass for nuclear fusion.

It is conceivable that in just 32 days, half of the mass of the entire ship is consumed, and the intensity of this fusion reaction is so amazing that it is difficult to control the particles in these reactions by simple inertial or magnetic confinement! However, the nuclear fusion technology of the Ododo civilization is far ahead of the earth, and its multi-stage nuclear fusion is carried out in the form of a combination of strong inertial confinement and ultra-large flux magnetic confinement, which can maximize the stability of the reactor.

But even so, the power system of the Poseidon still needs to use multiple fusion reactors to provide energy alternately and stop together, so as to effectively ensure the reliable safety of the equipment under full load!

After 32 days to reach 0.7 times the speed of light, Poseidon and its accompanying ships will enter the inertial navigation phase, at which time the main engines will be turned off, and they will sail in a straight line according to the pre-planned route, using laser weapons along the way.

According to the plan, after this formation arrives in the open field, the three accompanying ships will bridge with the Poseidon as soon as possible, and at the same time transfer all the energy and materials to the Poseidon, so that the three accompanying ships will complete their mission, become high-speed moving garbage in the universe, and detonate themselves after a certain period of time.

The Poseidon will continue sailing, starting to slow down before reaching the target location, and then use the remaining energy for scientific investigation!

The energy consumption in the whole process is very critical, and it is completely carefully calculated by the brain, and the energy left after the basic Shanghai God arrives at its destination is no longer enough to make it enter the ultra-high speed again, so if there is no corresponding energy supplement at the coordinate location, the Poseidon can only swim at a regular speed, and at the same time incarnate into a large power bank to provide energy for countless small detectors, and finally stop working due to energy depletion after decades of continuous investigation.

Of course, this was the result that Zhou Chen was most unwilling to see, because he had strong expectations for this coordinate location, and vaguely felt that this might be the hope of human beings to survive.

"Commander, the results of your previous orders for a thorough inspection of the fleet have already been achieved."

Just as Zhou Chen stood by the porthole to look at the starry sky outside, Dandan's sudden appearance interrupted its musings.

"Oh? Already done? Zhou Chen came back to his senses, "What is the specific situation?" ”

"Upon inspection, no unusual conditions were found in the fleet."

"Didn't find it?" With a surprised expression on his face, Zhou Chen was a little incredulous.

Because according to various phenomena, it is obvious that the Odo civilization used the earth as a bait to lure the Ferro civilization to take the bait, but as for the bait, without a signal transmitter, this inference cannot be established! Or is all this just a conjecture of their own, in fact, there is no signal transmitter at all, and the Odo civilization did not use the earth as a bait?

"That's not right! Something must be wrong! Zhou Chen quickly rejected this speculation, "Now there is quite a lot of indirect evidence pointing to my own speculation, as long as you find the signal transmitter, you have the most direct evidence!" ”

"Dandan, have the twelve warships of the Earth Fleet done a key inspection?" He asked.

Dandan replied truthfully: "Yes, Commander, the twelve battleships have been carefully inspected according to the design drawings, and even the gaps in the pipes have been scanned with nanobots, and no abnormalities have been found!" But ......"

"But what?"

"However, there is one place where Dan Dan has no right to inspect, so there may be something missing!"

"Where?"

Zhou Chen's heart jumped suddenly, and his intuition told him that the signal transmitter was likely to be in this missed place.

"It's your living room, Commander!"

Dandan's cute face showed two curved eyeliners, and he smiled innocently and said: "The captain's bedroom and the captain's office belong to the area covered by zero-level permissions, and Dandan's only has the highest level of authority in the fleet, so you can't send robots to enter and search!" ”

The Fleet Mastermind sent a robot to search the Commander's bedroom, which was strictly locked down at the level of authority! Permission is authority, and there must be no transgression or transgression.

Zhou Chen was taken aback, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what other places in the entire fleet are covered by zero-level authority but not covered by your first-level authority?" ”

"As far as physical location is concerned, Dandan cannot interfere with any area related to the captain's privacy; In terms of virtual permissions, the modification right of the system itself is zero-level permission, and Dandan runs under the system, so it cannot change the pre-assigned value of the system......"

Zhou Chen gradually understood, and at this time he was a little crying and laughing, could it be that the legendary signal transmitter was hidden in the place where he was staying?

If this is the case, it would be so ironic, thinking of this, he said solemnly: "Dandan, now I give you the power to search any part of the ship, the time limit is twenty-four hours, and now immediately carry out inspections on all places that have not been inspected!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Dandan saluted solemnly, and then with a flash of vision, its projection disappeared.

Zhou Chen looked at the place where the balls disappeared and pondered for a long time, then shook his head, turned around and looked out through the thick and sturdy portholes, only to see that under the sunlight, the busy fleet station was illuminated. At a glance, you can see countless engineering robots busy with production and construction, countless transport ships shuttling non-stop on the fixed channel, and silently a construction frenzy full of mechanical sense hit rapidly, shocking the soul.

Zhou Chen watched quietly, as if he would never get tired of seeing this mechanical rhythm.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty minutes passed, Dandan sent him a message, and after reading the news, Zhou Chen's face finally showed a smile, because after Dandan's inspection, he found something strange in his captain's lounge!

Of course, this is not good news, but in a sense, this is the news that Zhou Chen is looking forward to.

The darkness is not scary, what is scary is that he can't find his direction in the dark, at least this news verifies that his previous speculation is correct, and the Odo civilization really placed a signal transmitter in the fleet!

Soon Zhou Chen rushed to the lounge, and when he saw that the so-called signal transmitter was a football-sized fully enclosed multi-faceted object, he was slightly stunned.

"Is this a signal transmitter?" Zhou Chen asked with some curiosity.

This is a metal polyhedral ball, with a luster like mercury, and a texture like glass, which can reflect the shadow of a person more delicately, and looks shiny and extremely beautiful.

It's not like a launcher at all, it's a bit like a craft.

"Yes, Commander, this signal transmitter is an icosahedral structure, its circumscribed circle diameter is 24 centimeters, its mass has been measured to be 92 kilograms, the overall process error is within 0.01 microns, it is a more typical long-range positioning device in the Odo civilization, it is an intermittent signal emission source, every once in a while will send position signals in all directions of the universe, can simulate the signal scattering of a large number of fleets, and the effective interference range is 50 light years."

Zhou Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then looked at this signal source with some curiosity, it was hard to imagine that the craftsmanship of the Aoduo civilization was so exquisite, just looking at the surface of the signal source, he couldn't see its welding line at all, as if the whole was made in one piece. Moreover, such a macroscopic object manufacturing process is actually controlled within 0.01 microns, and such a luxurious manufacturing is also fascinating.

This source of signal is actually the equivalent of a smoke bomb on the battlefield, designed to confuse the enemy into chasing the wrong target.

"So how do you deal with its energy and how long can it continue to emit signals?" Looking at the exquisite workmanship, Zhou Chen suddenly thought of the problem of energy.

"This kind of military signal transmitter is generally a short-term configuration weapon, and it can continue to transmit signals for up to five years at full load, and the energy source is not replaceable in the middle of the process."

"That's ......" Zhou Chen couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard it, originally he planned to use it to confuse the Fei Luo civilization and cover for his future retreat.

"Can you turn it off and turn it on when it's time to use it?" Zhou Chen asked casually.

"Yes!"

Dandan gave a happy news, but soon the flame of joy was extinguished again, only to hear Dandan continue: "However, the execution of this procedure requires a military password to contact him, and Dandan's side does not have this password for some reason, it may be lost during the data transfer." ”

Zhou Chen couldn't help but be dumbfounded after hearing this, he knew why Dandan didn't have a password, if it had a military contact password, it would be a strange thing.
