Just as Shen Chao was about to launch such a suicidal search mission, the big ball of light of the think tank, which had not moved for a few days before, suddenly showed a ripple. Just like before Hargret entered a few days ago, the surface of the large ball of light slowly opened a round black entrance.

As soon as this entrance appeared, a platoon of expedition members who were guarding nearby, along with all the automatic weapons and battle mechs in the vicinity, immediately pointed their weapons there, ready to deal with anything that might come out of it.

However, none of the foreseen dangerous scenarios occurred. However, Hargrett, who had been missing for a few days, suddenly appeared from it, and he calmly jumped out of the exit, and looked blankly at the players who had gathered around him.

Seeing that it was him who came out, Shen Chao asked everyone to put down their weapons, and then he looked at Hargreif like a monster, and asked the nearby scientific research team to come up and carefully inspect Hargrett, who had just come out of the think tank.

Almost instantly, the guys surrounded Hargrett, using various instruments to check his nanosuit for anomalous radiation residues, microbial samples, or anything else weird, and after checking the outside, they began to help Hargrave take off his nanosuit.

"What's going on?" I don't need these amateur guys to do a physical exam. Hargret felt offended, he had discussed the whole process with Shen Chao before leaving, and he was going to arrange for the quarantine team to do a full body inspection after he returned, instead of being surrounded by a group of people like now, like watching monkeys.

"I'm sorry, doctor, we don't know what's going on inside?" You've been gone for days after all, and we have to deal with it carefully. Shen Chao said kind words, but his hand motioned for those people to continue checking.

"What? Few days? No, no, no, it's all according to plan. I went in for more than two hours, asked all the questions I wanted to ask, got answers from the think tank, and then I came out immediately. ”

Hagrett expressed confusion as if he didn't understand Shen Chao's meaning at all, but his perception was different from everyone outside. According to his perception, he didn't disappear for a few days. Rather, he only spent more than two hours in the think tank.

The timer on his nanosuit also recorded that only more than 2 hours had passed, proving that there was no problem with his senses. Also, if it weren't for the fact that he agreed to go back too quickly before going in, he would have stayed in the think tank for a long time before he would be willing to come out.

After realizing that the time difference between the two sides was huge, Hargret immediately pushed away all the guys around him who were responsible for doing a physical examination on him. If anyone else did not cooperate with the work of the scientific research group, the expedition members next to them would have gone up to engage in "education and persuasion" with the butts of their guns.

However, for a core member of an expedition like Hargrett, they naturally couldn't treat it like this. Seeing that Shen Chao did not continue to signal them to subdue Hargrett, the rest of the narrator let him go with great interest.

After getting rid of the annoying checks. Hargret walked over to the workbench he had left behind, and looked at the on-site research log from the time he entered the think tank, finally figuring out how long he had been missing and why everyone was so nervous.

Combined with his previous experience in the think tank space and his own conjectures about the think tank, he came up with a rather bold idea. Maybe the structure of the Think Tank is more complex than they thought, and maybe it has the ability to bend time and space!

"I think I get it, and if that's the case, then we should be able to remove it. However, this needs some adjustment......" Hagrett muttered to himself as he figured it out. After saying that, he got busy and commanded everyone nearby to help him do some tests against the big ball of light.

Since Shen Chao did not express any objection in the process, after a moment of hesitation, people began to follow Hargrett's instructions to carry the real yàn equipment or analyze the images and other materials he brought back with the nanosuit on his body.

While Hargret commanded the crowd, he explained to Shen Chao what happened to him in the think tank and his conjectures about the anomalies inside and outside the think tank. Tong Guò's previous inquiries in the think tank, from which he received a lot of vague images and text answers.

According to his experience and conjectures, the Think Tank should be an artificial agent with a singular carrier. Before entering the think tank. He thought that the inside of the think tank should be as big or small as it seemed to the outside world.

The large light sphere of the artificial think tank he entered was about 3 stories high, and judging from the external volume, the space inside it would not be too large. However, according to his own experience and recorded video records, he immediately found himself in a large zero-gravity open space after entering the black entrance of Guò.

This space is at least hundreds of meters long, with comfortable temperature and humidity, soft white light from all directions, standard atmospheric pressure, and even the composition of the atmosphere is the most suitable for human breathing.

Although not sure what technology this is done through guò. But Hargret was pretty sure that such a vast space was not his personal delusion. The nanosuit on his body was more than enough to help him resist any illusions and psychic intrusions he could imagine.

After some examination, Hargret confirmed that it was supposed to be a separate space, a small bubble of space cut from the cosmic space of the Halo Plane using some advanced technology that he could not restore at the moment. In a sense, when he entered this space bubble, he had already entered a new universe.

After having this conjecture, he did not rush to investigate it, but asked a lot of questions about the empty space in front of him as planned, and every time he asked a question, a series of images or ancient words would appear in front of him out of thin air.

One of the most frequently seen phrases translates to the effect that "there is no material in the library of numbers!" ”。 In this way, Hargret stayed inside for more than 2 hours and then returned to the outside world as planned.

Now, he thinks he should have a way to find out how the think tank's software works, and then gain control of the entire system, and then he can determine how this thing really works and determine whether it can really be taken away.

"How long will it take you?" Shen Chao asked after figuring out Hargrett's intentions, he didn't have much hope of taking the think tank away, he was more concerned about the safety of all the members of the expedition. Although he was asking how much time Hagret would need to investigate, he actually wanted to take someone out of the plane.

"Not sure, maybe a few hours, maybe a dozen days or half a year. I've found the admin interface, but no one knows for sure how long it will take to crack the password. But I'm sure we'll succeed in the end. After all, this think tank is only a half-finished product, and the ancient humans who created it have not even entered enough numbers to fill the number of ......."

Hargret replied honestly, he was pretty sure that he had already found the internal control interface needed to control the think tank, and that they should be able to get all the answers to the think tank if they could crack the code of the control agency.

To be honest, Hargrett's answer was far from satisfactory, after all, the past few days of their battle with the Covenant had been quite tortuous, and it was not a complete risk of being out of orbit and attacked, but it was not unacceptable for the expedition team that had found a way to prevent the Covenant from entering the depths of the ruins.

After reviewing the information at hand and making a rather difficult choice, Shen Chao decided to adopt Hargrett's advice and continue to stay here to study the methods of controlling the think tank. However, he gave a 10-day deadline to be on the safe side.

If no major breakthrough can be made within 10 days, then they must all retreat to the main plane no matter what happens. Hargrett agreed to his decision and soon began to work on the latest technology.

However, this round of research was smoother and faster than all of them expected, and after opening the entrance to the think tank for the second time, Hargret entered with two other volunteers and began to crack the door while the entrance was still open.

Two hours later, they walked out of the entrance. Ten seconds after they walked out, the large ball of light suddenly contracted and slowly shrank in size. After a few minutes, the ball, which had previously been three stories high, turned into a small ball of light the size of a basketball in diameter, and quickly shrank to disappear.

After the ball of light completely disappeared, in the air where the ball of light disappeared, a black cube with a diameter of nearly 2 meters suddenly appeared, as if it jumped out of space out of thin air, suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision and fell heavily to the ground.

The surface of the black cube was very smooth, with no traces of splicing around the edges, and even if it had just fallen from a height of several meters, there was no sign of smashing or wear on its surface.

For more than an hour, on-site scientists carefully measured and examined the strange cube under Hargrett's command. After measuring it, they found that the cube was geometrically perfect.

The area of each face and the length of each edge are exactly the same, and the error of the edge length does not exceed the width of one electron. The surface of the cube is also extremely dense and flat, so dense that it can't fit a single extra atom.

"So, this is the hardware of the think tank, can we take it with us now?" Shen Chao asked Hargret when he saw the test.

"No problem, it's like a computer turned off now, and it's safe to move." The only question is how we can start it again in the future......" Hargrett replied in the affirmative, but he didn't say the rest of the sentence. (To be continued......)
