0155 Mysterious Ravine

"You still look so bad, have you finished digesting the information?"

In the core laboratory, Lin Cheng asked Xia Ming.

"It's digested, nothing new has been discovered, R3AI says it's not formatted so it can't be interpreted, but there's no way to clean it up, and it's been pitted."

Xia Ming has almost become a waste person in the past six months, and although his health is better now, relying on Liluo's human neural model, it has no effect on exercise, but his brain is still occupied by a large amount of invalid information, and it seems that this situation will continue, and he is naturally in a bad mood.

"It's not important, let's care about what we can see today", he patted Lin Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Today is D132, the "fuse" has arrived at Homo sapiens as scheduled, and the attitude has been adjusted before, and today it will descend to the surface of only a few tens of meters away from Homo sapiens and carefully search for this asteroid.

The control center of the "fuze" is in the core laboratory, although it is equipped with a simple communication system, but it is only an auxiliary, and he relies on the Qianyan MINI to communicate with the "fuze". What the "fuse" can find, only Xia Ming can know.

Xia Ming found that his connection with Qianyan MINI was really special. When the "fuse" flies 300,000 kilometers away, it stands to reason that this communication should produce a delay of more than 1 second, after all, this universe has a barrier to the speed of light. Unexpectedly, his connection with Qianyan MINI is still synchronized.

For example, at a distance of 300,000 kilometers, he sent a control command to Qianyan, and the status change information transmitted back by the conventional communication system was only 1 second late instead of 2 seconds.

However, on the other hand, there is no latency, but there seems to be a problem with "bandwidth". The "fuse" arrived near Mars, and when surfing with the gravitational pull of Mars, the camera transmitted the picture back through the Qianyan MINI. The clarity is much worse than the picture transmitted back at 300,000 kilometers.

But this "bandwidth" problem can be corrected, Xia Ming has been observing Mars through the camera, and the picture sent back gradually becomes clear.

Xia Ming can't explain this phenomenon yet, I'm afraid he can only figure it out when all the secrets of R3AI are revealed. And the secret of R3AI must lie on the "anchor information" of Zhishenxing.

"Fuze" after approaching the asteroid belt the other day. Only then did the existence of Homo sapiens be discovered. At this time, if Xia Ming released the image, it would be enough to write his name in the field of astronomy and astronautics, because this is the first time that humans have seen the face of Homo sapiens "with their own eyes".

As previous scientists have speculated, Homo sapiens has an irregular appearance, with a slightly flattened spacecraft that looks more than 500 kilometers on its long axis, more than 300 kilometers on its minor axis, and an average width of more than 200 kilometers.

But it is clearly not a ship, at least the tail does not see the engine vent. There are no regular traces of man-made objects on the surface, and like other asteroids, it is a huge meteorite.

The "fuse" slowly approached the surface of Homo sapiens, and in the core laboratory, seven people held their breath and looked at the image in the air with serious expressions.

The "fuse" dropped to a height of twenty or thirty meters, and the small engine on the probe maintained the altitude with only a slight effort. At a speed equivalent to that of a helicopter, slowly scan the surface.

The surface is uneven. It is natural that you can't see dust like the Moon and Mars, and that asteroids don't have enough gravity.

When the probe flew into a gully several hundred meters wide with irregular edges, everyone gasped.

It's too deep down there to see all the way. It feels like almost running through the entire asteroid.

Combined with the vague bands in the picture I saw before, this kind of gully is everywhere, no wonder the density of Homo sapiens is very low, and it has many cavities inside.

"I'm in trouble now......"

Xia Ming frowned, except for Xiao Huan. Everyone else understood his concerns. If the "anchor information" is in a cavity, it will be too difficult to find.

"Fortunately, the 'detonator' brought a terahertz imager", Lin Cheng's words relieved everyone again, and yes, the "fuse" only hit the front station.

"Don't give up easily," Xia Ming muttered, manipulating the fuse's camera and scanning the rest of the surface.

Qianyan is also analyzing the image, marking out the ravines one by one, and then cutting out individual pictures, which looks ......

He Xinghui said in surprise: "How do you feel that these ravines seem to be formed after hollowing out the ore veins?" ”

The crowd was awe-inspiring, and it really looked like it, which meant ......

"The surface optical signature is close to olivine and serpentine, rich in silicates, oxides and sulfides, and is a typical carbonaceous chondrite."

Although there are no more detection equipment, Qianyan can analyze a lot of information, but this assertion is the same as previous astronomical observations, and there are no new discoveries. Asteroids of this nature are most abundant in the asteroid belt because they contain water and organic compounds in the form of amino acids, which are also considered to be the origin of life on Earth.

"The situation under the gully should be different", Qianyan enlarged a picture again, which is the image of the gully captured, but because the surface of Zhishenxing is not bright enough, the gully is darker, and there is no database to support intelligent brightening, it looks very blurry.

Xia Ming proposed: "I'll let the 'fuse' go down and take a look, even if something goes wrong, it's still earned." ”

No one had any objections, and under Xia Ming's manipulation, the "fuse" slowly sank towards a ravine, the searchlight was turned on, and the pillar of light was projected on the ditch wall.

At first, a few dozen meters were normal, but Qianyan's analysis said that it was formed by natural fracture of the rock layer.

At a certain depth, a dividing line appears in the wall of the ditch, and the rock layer below it resembles an erosion cut washed away by a flood.

"It's more like a living ......" The scene in the picture made Xiaotang connect with her own realm, but before she could finish speaking, the picture disappeared.

"Natsu-chan!?"

"Ming, what's wrong with you?"

"Is there something wrong with your body?"

Everyone looked at Xia Ming and thought that something was wrong with him, but Xia Ming blinked suspiciously.

After ten or so seconds, Xia Ming said solemnly: "The contact with Qianyan MINI was interrupted, very suddenly, without any warning, this is impossible......"

This neural resonance between him and Qianyan MINI not only exceeds the speed of light, but so far, he has not encountered a situation of being truncated. I had done experiments before, even if it was through a lead plate. Or a concrete layer tens of meters thick, it doesn't have any effect.

Now it was suddenly cut off, and he didn't even feel anything!

"The anchor is just below the ravine!"

"There is a blocking mechanism, which is a more advanced technical means than neural resonance!"

"It could also be that the other party can crack the neural resonance."

Everyone is talking about it, although the "fuse" has obtained information beyond expectations, but there is a mechanism there that can cut off the connection between Xia Ming and Qianyan MINI. It cast a shadow on everyone's heart.

Lin Cheng comforted: "Maybe it's a spontaneous mechanism, or there is a special environment under the ravine, and the equipment of the 'detonator' is very complete, and maybe there will be new discoveries." ”

"It's possible", Xia Ming nodded, and then shook his head again: "But we can't pin all our hopes on luck, the possibility of the failure of the 'detonator' has increased all of a sudden, and we must start the next plan!" ”

Everyone looked at Xia Ming and was silent. Xiaotang's eyes flickered with light.

The "Singularity" plan is to carry people to the past, considering the association between R3AI and anchor information, it can only be Xia Ming's past. When the first two contacts failed, Xia Ming passed, and the danger of the journey was secondary, and he couldn't imagine how bad the situation would be.

Xia Ming smiled: "Just in case, the 'detonator' is not bound to fail." With this lesson. Next time, we'll put the spiders first, one by one. ”

The "fuse" failed. Because of its speed, the "Detonator" was launched 23 days late, but it will reach Zhishen in a week. Hearing Xia Ming say this, everyone was also a lot relieved.

Xiaotang nodded, did not speak, but his eyelashes trembled slightly. It's like thinking about something.

This week, Xia Ming was a little entangled.

In the past two months, his health has improved a lot, he has not stayed in the medical area anymore, and naturally he no longer needs Xiao Huan to accompany him, although Xiao Huan is not happy. But she was not cheeky enough to attack directly at night, so she had to change her sticky Xia Ming during the day.

But this week, Xiao Huan plucked up the courage to touch Xia Ming's bed every night. I was persuaded away by Xia Ming in the first two days, and on the third day, I couldn't bear to push her away, and we slept together honestly. On the fourth day, the assault began.

Xiao Huan was untying her hood with her backhand, Xia Ming hugged her and held her hand: "Tell me honestly, what's going on?" ”

Xiao Huan squinted, as if enjoying the owner's scratching cat, and said lazily: "Sister Xiaotang always whispers in my ear, saying that Ah Ming, you haven't broken the place yet, it's not good for your health, and you're not in a good mood these days, so it should be this trouble." But she doesn't like this kind of thing very much, and she doesn't know who to do it for her. See, who else but me? ”

Xia Ming said angrily: "Isn't this fooling a fool?" ”

"I know" Xiao Huan smiled sweetly, and thief: "But I like it, hehe......"

Xia Ming sighed: "Xiao Huan, to be honest, between us, uh, what I said before, you should understand." ”

"Then you don't like me anymore?"

Xiao Huan broke free from his shackles, straightened his waist, and slowly untied the shackles, showing his youth and beauty: "Is it no longer Xiao Huan who you have to protect even if you give up your life?" ”

Xia Ming's breathing was a little short: "Of course I like you, even if I give up my life, I have to protect you." But unlike Xiaotang, I don't want you to become my ......"

"Side room, or concubine?" Xiao Huan also plucked up the courage to face the relationship that had been entangled between the three of them: "Ah Ming, let's not talk about this first, you ask yourself." Will you accept that I fall in love with someone else, marry someone else, and roll the sheets with someone else? ”

Xia Ming was speechless, of course he didn't want to.

"Ah Ming doesn't want to, I know, because I can feel it."

Xiao Huan raised his voice and learned Xia Ming's tone: "Xiao Huan is mine!" No one wants to snatch it! ”

She smiled sly: "Every time you see me talking to other men, your mind is as clear as if you are screaming in my ear!" Hum! ”

She sent herself into Xia Ming's arms, and the unconcealed skin-to-skin blind date made the scalps of both of them slightly numb, and there was a trembling feeling of spiritual integration.

Xiao Huan sighed and said, "Look, we are like this, can I be with other people?" What I say and do, you can know if you want to. Ah Ming, I was electrocuted half to death by you in the laboratory that day, and although I couldn't see with my eyes, I entered a new world. Every time I think about it now, I feel so happy that I want to cry. ”

Xia Ming is still struggling: "But ......"

"Side room, concubine?" Xiao Huan smiled, and her eyes were shining: "I don't care, and, seriously, we are not ordinary people, but monsters, why do you care so much?" ”

Indeed, not to mention Xiao Huan, who can't see with his eyes, but has a more bizarre sense, He Xinghui, Hu Jun and Liluo are already monsters, and their brains have undergone obvious changes. Even Li Diluo has changed a lot, Xia Ming is thinking of finding time to have a good talk with Li Diluo and let him join the group.

The reality is already like this, and Xia Ming will not continue to be hypocritical. What's more, in his discussion with Lin Cheng, EI will accelerate the changes in human society, and traditional ethics will gradually be subverted. The matter between him and Xiaotang and Xiaohuan is not a big deal under the existing social ethics, let alone the future.

It's just that he needs to have a serious talk with Xiaotang, this is a matter of three people, and he can't just obey his own desires.

Xia Ming said to Xiao Huan very seriously: "If Xiaotang really agrees, we will be together, okay?" ”

Xiao Huan wiped his eyes and said in a thick nasal voice, "Okay!" ”

The next day, the day was as busy as usual, as if nothing had happened, and at night Xiaotang came to Xia Ming's room, but he already knew everything.

"Actually, I mind, but your connection with Xiao Huan is the key to our current situation. Without Xiao Huan, there would be no current you, we would not be so united, and we would not hold the rope of human destiny. ”

Xiaotang's statement was very rational: "It's impossible for me to destroy the relationship between you and Xiao Huan, we can't afford to lose." But I'm not willing to lose you for the fate of humanity, so what's the difference between me and the guy who has been formatted out of his brain? ”

"So, I think that since the reason that prevents this problem from being solved perfectly is ethics, then I will adjust my ethics."

"It's just that it's not just the ethics of society, it's also the most fundamental human nature", Xiaotang became emotional again: "How can I be willing to let others share you with me?" ”

"Then you don't ......"

Before Xia Ming finished speaking, Xiaotang pressed his lips with his fingers: "If it's just flesh-body, I will lend Xiao Huan clothes to wear, and I feel good if I think so." ”

The two hugged each other and gradually became affectionate, but when Xia Ming's hand reached below, Xiaotang stopped him: "It's going to land the day after tomorrow, your health is not good, are you going to use a wheelchair to control it?" ”

But the tent has already been erected, Queen, do you always dig holes and don't fill them?

Seeing Xia Ming's aggrieved face, Xiaotang smiled, leaned over to kiss him, and stretched out his hand.

After a long time, Xia Ming exhaled comfortably, Xiaotang stroked his scattered hair, and glanced at him: "I'll clean it up." ”

Out of the bedroom, she flipped her wrist, a test tube appeared, to see what was inside, she nodded, carefully sealed, put it in the refrigerator, and then went to the bathroom to tidy up.

The two hugged each other and slept together, and Xiaotang advised: "There is a problem with the refrigerator, I will find someone to replace it tomorrow, don't use it." ”

Xia Ming let out a daze and hugged her and fell asleep.

Xiaotang looked at his face for a while, smiled and frowned, and kissed him again. Reclining into his arms, he let out a low sigh as he closed his eyes. (To be continued.) )
