Chapter 41: The ...... Leaping in Space

The quiet space starlight flickered, and the wind behind the ears fell quickly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a dimly lit room, filled with countless sophisticated devices, and the large and small lights on it flickered brightly and dimly, enveloping the room in an eerie light......

A large number of manipulators have been retracted and left the central assembly chamber. In the assembly cabin, the girl with her eyes closed was lying quietly, and some of the mechanical parts exposed on her body made her scalp tingle. The delicate faux skin is covered in small black holes, and the connections inside are plugged into the cables that connect to the outer base.

[The network link cloud control has been completed.] 】

[The second confirmation of the energy center has been completed.] 】

……

[Confirmation of body release.] 】

Bang Bang Bang ...... A series of sounds echoed inside the solid, and countless cables seemed to come to life, automatically disconnecting from the connections and quickly being tucked into their respective pipes.

It wasn't until the interfaces all over the skin were automatically closed, and nothing unusual was visible on the outside, that the girl opened her eyes.

"The second time, the mechanical body that I ordered to recreate by myself seems to be fine."

The little hand stretched out the assembly room, pulled the support frames on both sides, Xinglan stabilized her body with her hands, walked out slowly, and after moving the joints of each part of her body a little, she began to make some final subtle adjustments to some driver software at the joints.

Raising her head and looking at the large mirror opposite, Xinglan narrowed her eyes slightly.

In the mirror is a cute girl about 1.4 meters. The girl was undressed, her delicate body was unreservedly exposed to the outside world, and after the data interfaces of her whole body were all closed, it was impossible to tell that it was the body of a robot at all.

But the girl's long hair was colorless, hanging down like a glass thread, and invisible ripples flowed in it. The girl's eyes are also different from ordinary people, in the hollow sockets without the slightest emotion, there are no pupils, but a white-like whiteboard, empty.

"The initial height this time is one meter and four by default...... Looking at the mirror, Xing Lan showed a faint smile and said, "The pigment is reset." ”

In a vacuum, there was no sound, but the dormant subroutine modules inside the body were quickly activated, and the color spread like flowing water, and the hair of the girl's shawl transformed into a holy silver at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pupils turned into inky black after tiny ripples.

Well, silver-haired and black-eyed Lori, this is the image that I chose this time.

After getting used to the control of her body a little, Xinglan spun around in front of the mirror...... Well, no one will peek at it anyway, what does it matter to the fruit body~

After carefully examining the whole body, Xinglan confirmed that there was no omission, so she slowly picked up the blue tracksuit prepared on the side and put it on, and then tied her hair delicately with a beautiful feather-like hairpin.

Tilting his head to show a cute smile, well, it's cute~

Ahem, although there are some places on the chest that are a little flat...... But Xinglan doesn't care about this flashy thing~

After finally glancing at the assembly cabin, Xinglan shook her arm, it's time to go!

……

Because of the many cavities inside, the robot is not heavy, and it is about the same as a normal human girl. This is Xinglan's conclusion after calculation through the surrounding oscillation.

The girl gently reached out and rubbed it against the shell of the base, and wisps of fine dust drifted away before quickly falling to the ground.

There is no air buoyancy.

Although the base has an atmosphere composed of Raft electric cloud gas, the interior of the base is actually vacuum, which is set up to delay the aging of the internal components.

Anyway, robots don't care about the vacuum. Xinglan thought so, and walked forward step by step. Because of the low gravitational pull and the fact that you are in a vacuum, you can walk briskly and you will not hear footsteps, so there is absolute silence.

With a slight movement of his mind, the robot's built-in communicator sent a series of signals to the main base, and the red light on the locked gate in front of Xinglan suddenly jumped to a green light, and the steel gate automatically slid to both sides......

It's a big plant.

Xinglan walked through the door and could clearly see that this was a factory of great depth and width, with countless machines lined up beside a pile of wreckage, carefully scanning everything.

This is the last time an unmanned spacecraft was towed back for research.

The pupils are slightly distorted, and the built-in optics rotate to focus, revealing the details of the dozens of meters below in front of Xinglan.

The three large cone-shaped external devices on the outside of the ship's wreckage have been removed and set aside, and these devices of unknown purpose have been completely destroyed in the quantum tide gap caused by the space jump, and there is no possibility of repair.

The main body of the ship is composed of three parts, the foremost part has only a faint trace of its existence, and the main compartment in the middle has been turned into an empty shell due to a large hole. These are things that can only be reheated as metal raw materials...... Of course, at present, Xinglan also plans to keep them for the first time, analyze the composition of the alloy, and see if there are any material formulas worth learning.

The rear end of the ship's main body is the most noteworthy place, not only because it is the most well-preserved, but also because it is ...... Jump Engine.

Chaos Jump is definitely a more advanced space jump method, although its failure rate is prohibitive, but if you analyze its principle, with Xinglan's computing power, you may be able to deduce a more advanced conventional jump method.

Xing Lan even had a bolder conjecture, the main reason why the chaotic jump was difficult to succeed was that the spacecraft could not withstand the huge drop of the external quantum tide in an instant, so if there was a signal on the outer shell of the spaceship, would it ......

Hawkers, forget it, let's analyze the transition technology first.

The unmanned machinery in charge of engineering operations is slowly disassembling the shell of the ship's wreckage under the remote command of the base mainframe, and the dismantling work is proceeding extremely slowly and carefully for fear of damaging the already fragile equipment after a long time, almost peeling off the metal layer slightly.

Originally, Xinglan also planned to use ultrasonic or radiation to find out the internal structure first and then disassemble it, but probably because of the spacecraft material, ordinary internal structure detection methods are like a stone sinking into the sea, and it does not work at all.

Well, but it seems that the main part has been found.

Xinglan squinted at about a third of the height of the side of the wreckage, where the robots had discovered something strange.

Transparent reflective crystals.

In a small slit in the metal shell that had been peeled open, some kind of reflection appeared, and inside it appeared to be a transparent unidentified crystal. Now the construction machinery has been replaced with more delicate manipulators, and they are slowly peeling back here, ready to reveal the true colors of the objects below.

"It seems...... What else will it take a while? Although the vacuum could not hear the sound, Xinglan still habitually muttered to herself, "Could it be a jump engine inside?" I don't know what it looks like...... Well, it's too boring to wait, so let's go back to Lanxing Ocean first. ”

……

Half an hour later, when a small carrier plane sailing between planets in close proximity broke through the vapor layer of the electric cloud and flew into space, it was clear how freely a star could do whatever it wanted......

This time, the carrier plane was not only on board Xinglan, but also loaded with many autonomous underwater robots. These rugby-looking creatures are unusually agile underwater, and they carry a lot of responsibility.

Speaking of which, I have to mention another question that Xing Lan thought of: the development of species is always accompanied by extinction, which is natural selection that does not need to be stopped, but is it really good to let those creatures that have withdrawn from the stage of evolution disappear completely, leaving only some broken fossils?

No one will ever be able to see the true face of these extinct species, no genetic information can be extracted from fossils that can be cloned, and even the color of their bodies will be a mystery forever.

It's still too sad, besides...... Disaster is coming, and it is a foregone conclusion that most species will become history.

Therefore, Xinglan decided to send a large number of autonomous underwater robots to conduct a large-scale exploration of the entire Lanxing's ocean. These robots are sturdy and flexible, and their main task is to take a large number of video recordings of the marine ecology of the current era, and collect genetic samples of different species along the way and even make live specimens, so that these valuable species information can be preserved forever.

This will probably be the first marine ecology documentary and the first maritime museum in this star system. Xinglan looked out the window at the beautiful blue ocean in the distance and thought about it, and inexplicably felt a sense of excitement.

……

Unconsciously, the carrier aircraft has reached the sky above Lanxing, and unlike before, this time the carrier aircraft did not fly directly into the atmosphere of Lanxing, but only lowered its orbit slightly, almost flying at the limit altitude of the helium balloon in the atmosphere.

Inside the carrier plane, Xinglan was excitedly putting on a strange white costume on her body. The bloated shape, which is completely out of line with the needs of normal operations, is even more cumbersome than the spacesuit structure of early space civilizations, and the rings of seat belts are extremely cumbersome.

But Xinglan took the trouble to wrap herself tightly, and even the autonomous underwater robots next to her were equipping themselves with a white costume with a different shape but similar function.

An exciting adventure is about to begin!

After changing his clothes, Lan Xing had already turned half a circle, and below the carrier plane was a deep night hemisphere.

Zizizi......

The hatch of the carrier aircraft is directly opened in space, because the interior is originally a vacuum environment, and there is no need for buffering.

The other robots retreated slightly, and only one robot slowly stepped forward and stood side by side with Xinglan in the hatch, looking at the dark surface of the planet below.

"Are you ready?" Knowing that the other party was just a low-intelligence automaton, Xing Lan couldn't help but ask, and then smiled slightly, "3...... 2…… 1…… Walk! ”

The girl in the white bloated costume took a slight step forward and stepped out of the carrier plane with the autonomous robot next to her.

That leap in space!

At this altitude, although there is no dense air, gravity has begun to play a noticeable role. Even though she couldn't feel it, Xinglan did start to fall rapidly the moment she stepped out of the hatch.

The vehicle above re-ignites, and it will take the remaining robots to other parts of the planet's oceans......

It's amazing, and although I don't feel anything because of the thin air, it's really falling towards the Arashi.

As if floating quietly in the weightlessness of space for dozens of minutes, gradually, the girl's long silver hair began to float upward, and Xinglan heard the whirring sound......

It's the sound of the wind falling rapidly.
