The control center of the "detonator" is still located in the core laboratory, and Lin Cheng acts as the controller of the conventional communication system. It takes 28 minutes for electromagnetic waves to return to Earth from Homo sapiens, back and forth, close to an hour, just as a preparatory means after the failure of the Qianyan MINI.

On the day the "fuse" arrived at Homo sapiens, the atmosphere in the laboratory was very relaxed, even if it failed, it was only a pity, and today, everyone was much more nervous.

The landing module carrying the three robots descended to the surface of Homo sapiens, first dropped the spider detector, and used its searchlight and camera to send back the situation in the depths of the ravine.

The depths of the ravine were empty, there were no laser lines, or mysterious force fields, only the clear boundary on the wall, extending straight along the ravine.

"It is indeed a trace of the orderly swallowing of rock formations by microorganisms! This is the application of gene editing technology! ”

After carefully looking at the enlarged surface of the ditch mural for a while, Xiaotang nodded heavily.

"If you find unnatural traces, it should be some kind of symbol."

Qian Yan magnified the new discovery, and many simple patterns like symbols appeared under the ditch wall, connected in strings, and distributed irregularly, and the symbols were the same as the surface of the anchor component they had fished.

"Is it an alien script?"

"I think it's more like a mathematical formula."

"If you look at the molecules, it makes sense, this symbol is too informative."

The discussion was fruitless, Xia Ming carefully manipulated the spider detector to climb into the ravine, and then, the signal was lost.

The landing module's cameras were watching the spider, and the spider disappeared from the screen, as if it had suddenly disappeared.

This is no accident!

Everyone looked at Xia Ming, Xia Ming gritted his teeth and put down the probe that was originally used as a satellite.

This time, instead of turning on the camera first, it was prepared to wait for the satellite to cross the line before activating the camera. Xia Ming wanted to see if his association with Qianyan MINI triggered some kind of blocking mechanism.

On the surveillance screen, the satellite also disappeared, and Xia Ming tried to start the Qianyan MINI on the satellite, but there was no response......

Luckily, there are humanoid robots, but this time of course, they won't let the robots be stupid to explore the way.

Xia Ming manipulated the robot, tied a video camera to a rope, and after turning it like a lasso for a while, he threw it down.

As before, the camera that had been filming crossed the line and the image disappeared from the lens.

The same goes for the surveillance footage, where the camera crosses the line and disappears.

Qianyan accurately intercepted the moment the camera crossed the line in the surveillance screen, the previous frame was normal, and the next frame, the camera was gone.

The camera of the landing module is a super-high-speed camera with 100 billion frames per second! The reflection trajectory of the laser can be seen clearly in the camera like a ping pong ball bouncing on a table. No matter what the mutation is, it can't be faster than the light, and there should be some traces left, but there is no!

Xia Ming manipulated the robot to pull the rope, and the camera was still ......

Pull the camera up, and as soon as you cross the line, the camera is back to normal.

It's amazing that you can shield the signal through the wire!

Xia Ming said with a calm face: "I have to start the scanner to take a look." ”

The reason why the "detonator-tube" is equipped with a terahertz imager with high penetration is that it is afraid that the terahertz detector will be recognized as an electromagnetic weapon.

The terahertz imager is mounted on the main body of the probe, which is located more than 10 kilometers above Homo sapiens, and its attitude is adjusted to be synchronized with Homo sapiens. Xia Ming commanded, and the focused terahertz beam shot into the ravine, and a barrier appeared in the picture.

This is a reaction that terahertz imagers have never been exposed to, and intelligence cannot recognize it, and even Qianyan cannot do anything about it.

Just as everyone was speculating about what the barrier was, all the images were gone.

The laboratory was silent, and only occasionally Xiao Huan was heard swallowing saliva.

After 28 minutes, Lin Cheng shook his head: "The radio signal has also disappeared......"

The silence came again, but it was broken by Xia Ming's faint, but very firm voice: "It seems that I have to go in person." ”

"No! Ming, that's not Madagascar, it's space! Xiao Huan was in a hurry, the original manned plan was just in case, how could this "just in case" suddenly become a reality.

Lin Cheng also persuaded: "Let's think of a way again, the technology is ready-made, let's change it, fly over at a faster speed, and prepare more detection equipment." ”

"At least we have confirmed one thing, there is either life there, or there is an intelligent existence similar to EI", He Xinghui frowned and said, "We should send the human civilization information carried by the Voyager first!" ”

"It's too risky, we still have seven years to go, don't be so desperate", Lilo said softly, this is her rare tone: "After all, it is 500 million kilometers away in space, and you have to run for 28 minutes, you have something wrong, and when we come to the rescue, it will be at least two months later, this is not a hibernation that can be carried over." “

"If it's a disaster, such as the earth is really going to be demolished, where is seven years enough?" Hu Jun looked very anxious: "Xiao Xia, I think we should seriously consider a showdown with the country, we can't hold it anymore!" The people in the space department are still waiting for our materials today! The whole world is also waiting for our big news! ”

The new technology in the "Detonator" program is still unknown, but the program itself is public, and the world knows that the Kunpeng probe is flying to the asteroid belt, and the space agencies of various major countries and the International Astronautical Organization are eyeing the program.

"Sending out the results of the previous exploration around Homo sapiens is enough to explain to them, and it can be regarded as a success. All the landing materials are sealed, and the outside world says that the landing failed, so what is there to lose face? ”

Xiaotang said lightly, this attitude made everyone a little surprised, she supported Xia Ming to take risks?

"You'd better tell the whole story, otherwise everyone will think I'm going to push my man to death."

In front of everyone, Xiaotang officially stated his relationship with Xia Ming for the first time, if it wasn't for the wrong atmosphere, everyone would have applauded and whistled.

Xia Ming nodded to Xiaotang, sure enough, Xiaotang still understood himself.

"Actually, from 'fuse' to 'detonator', it was all an attempt I made by luck, and I had the consciousness from the beginning, Zhishenxing, I may have to go in person."

"Why? Think about it, when we got the first two components, I just saw it and I had a sense, and when I got the third component in Madagascar, why didn't the three components have physical contact, they just appeared in my field of vision at the same time, and I got the location of the anchor information? ”

Xia Ming's question, everyone realized, this seems to be somewhat similar to the superluminal resonance of Xia Ming and Qianyan MINI. This is also the kind of resonance between them, and it is believed that it is also faster than light, but there is no chance to verify it.

"And now the situation on Homo sapiens is obviously for this kind of induction, it prevents me from seeing, sensing. Isn't it simple? That's the protection mechanism of the anchor, and I have to go there myself and penetrate that barrier. ”

Xia Ming sighed: "That's how I felt at first, I just wanted to try my luck, so I didn't prepare for it in the first place, and I wasted a lot of time." ”

"Nope! It's a must! Lin Cheng said loudly: "Without fuses and detonators to climb the aerospace technology tree, it is impossible for us to complete the preparation of manned spaceflight until now, Naruko, don't blame yourself so much!" ”

"Actually, you don't have to be in person", Xiaotang smiled sadly: "As long as you are formatted, you can receive the complete anchor information." ”

"Look, it's still my responsibility", Xia Ming spread his hands: "So, there is no need to discuss it anymore, and immediately start preparing the 'Singularity' plan!" ”

Hu Jun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Xia Ming waved his hand: "If something happens to me, or if I haven't contacted after the agreed time, I hope you will report the matter to ...... UN Security Council. We have tried our best but have not solved the problem, so let the responsibility be left to the Council, after all, they have the power and the power to make decisions on behalf of humanity as a whole. ”

"Even if they quarrel or are in civil war?" Xiaotang didn't know why, he didn't care about Xia Ming's safety.

"Even if they quarrel or have a civil war", Xia Ming repeated in an affirmative tone, and then said: "We have done what we can, since we can't shoulder this responsibility, the fate of mankind is decided by human beings themselves." ”

"No, don't go...... Woo woo......" Xiao Huan hugged Xia Ming and sobbed, she was not so stupid that she couldn't even feel Xia Ming's last words.

"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe he'll come back with a new world", Xiaotang was still so calm, but the already reddened circles under her eyes betrayed her heart.

Everyone dispersed with a heavy heart, the "Singularity" program was launched, and everyone had a lot of work to do. He Xinghui and Hu Jun have to maintain Qianyan, Lin Cheng has to write a program for the gallium nitride chip that Yang Bin has trial-produced, and Liluo has to be in charge of the spacecraft's life support system.

"You didn't set yourself a task?"

Xiaotang directly assigned the task without his consent, which surprised Xia Ming.

"I also want to go to heaven, if you have an accident, the world will be saved by the Security Council. I don't have anything to be nostalgic about. I still have to save you, dead or alive, I have to bring you back. ”

Xiaotang had calmed down, and Xia Ming wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth. He knew very well that when Xiaotang spoke in this tone, he was determined and unquestionable.

"Doesn't the 'Singularity' have a space station, I'm waiting for you on the space station. If you fail, let them launch another ship and I can get over quickly. I don't expect to solve the problem, after all, you can't solve it, but at least you can ......"

Xiaotang paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "You have to start exercising, with your current physical condition, you can't bear space flight." ”

Xiao Huan, who hugged Xia Ming tightly, muttered, "I'm going to ...... too"

"No way!" Xiaotang dragged Xiao Huan aside and said in a low voice, "You have more important tasks." ”

The two muttered for a while, Xia Ming was still reflecting on Xiaotang's words, and he didn't have the heart to mobilize his senses to eavesdrop.

Suddenly, I heard Xiao Huan screaming softly. Xia Ming turned his head to look, Xiao Huan's face was flushed, and he pouted: "I'm not an old hen......"

Xiaotang asked, "Don't want to?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Sincere...... Woohoo......"

Xiao Huan responded, from choking to crying, and hugged Xiaotang: "Why do you say this?" What should I do if you're all gone!? (To be continued.) )
