Chapter 337: Future Plane Management Center
In view of the many characteristics of the latest version of the Space-Time Gate Stabilizer and their need to travel through other planes in the future, the expedition team held a number of discussions a few months ago.
They have put in place a number of new safety regulations and standards to ensure that they can safely use the space-time gates, which are now many times larger.
Although the expedition has not encountered any major setbacks since its establishment due to its cautious style, they have never let down their vigilance against other planes out of precautionary considerations.
So far, they have visited more than 10 planes, and more and more are determined to be targets in the future.
If they want to maintain the current crossing security after setting up the space-time gate network, they must establish sufficiently rigorous security standards.
Today's crossing operation has the purpose of the new safety standard. If the real yàn shun lì, they will use this version of the standard in the future.
As mentioned earlier, their departure location is the main berthing area of Space Station Zero, which is the original docking and maintenance area for large ships on the space station.
The reason why it is empty is that the Budapest is still a very new warship and has not needed any hull maintenance for the last two years, so it will not need to be docked here for at least the next year and a half.
There's plenty of space for large groups of people and equipment to assemble and return with loot. Because of the combination of these reasons, it was chosen as the location of the crossing area for a period of time in the future.
For some time to come, all space-time portals to the Alien Plane will be built here. It is maintained by the power grid inside the space station. Gate A and Gate B are the same.
As for what are Gates A and B? As mentioned earlier, two space-time gates are needed to stabilize the flow of time in the two planes. One of the gates opens from the starting plane to the target plane, and the other gate opens from the target plane to the starting plane.
This space-time gate that opens from the departure plane to the target plane is defined by the expedition team as Gate A, and the space-time gate that leads from the target plane to the departure plane is defined as Gate B.
The stability of Gate A is located on the departure plane, which is needless to mention. It is worth noting that although the bulb is mounted on the target plane. But it is still powered by the large fusion reactors on the Zero space station.
As for how the power from the reactor is supplied to the stabilizer in another plane? In fact, it is very simple, and you can understand it by looking at the structure of the dìng device.
Their dìng, like the space-time gate, is ring-shaped, in order to maximize the passable area. And because of this structure. In order to facilitate the passage of people and vehicles, the ring dìng device is designed with a low-angle oblique pedal.
Depending on the size of the stabilizer, there will be a small amount of space under the pedal of varying sizes that can be used to pass through a certain size of wire. Electricity, on the other hand, is the superconducting wires laid underneath guò to the other side, which in turn helps to keep the space-time gate open.
What's even more interesting is that Shen Chao and the others found that the size of the opening of these two space-time doors has nothing to do with the flow rate of space-time. Although a single gate is open, the size of the gate has a great effect on the time flow rate of the two connected planes.
But when the A and B doors are opened, no matter how many doors are opened, the size of the egg is still more than ten meters wide. There is no difference in the effect on the flow rate of time in both planes.
The exact mechanism of this phenomenon is not yet known to them, but the application and security methods have been used to the best of their technical conditions.
In the case of security, for example, there are now a number of hidden detection devices and automatic defense weapons on the ceiling of the traversal area, and anything that is not authorized to pass through the gate will be destroyed by these weapons.
In addition, as soon as any unauthorized access to the space-time gate is detected, the space-time gate stabilizer will immediately automatically de-energize and completely self-destruct under the explosion of the explosives bound to the device. The space-time gate will disappear immediately, and the scale of the invasion will not grow further.
With such security guarantees. Shen Chao ordered this operation with peace of mind, and at this time, hammerhead chariots and drones one after another were quickly opening the wide space-time gate under his order.
Shen Chao also quickly got into one of the hammerhead chariots. Pass through the space-time portal and soon appear on a sand-filled city road in the opposite world.
After opening the space-time gate, he first opened the universal tool. They have confirmed the location and time of the satellite network that they have built up in this world.
Yes, it was the destination they had booked, albeit in a slightly different location. But the deviation is only a few meters. The time was the same as the last time they left, it was noon, when the sun was at its fullest.
In the abundant sunlight, the towering buildings in the city center in the distance shimmer. There is no sign of being eroded by two years at all. It's like there's still people living there.
But that's just an illusion, it's the tropical desert climate that protects the city's buildings from the constant vegetation and wildlife that runs through the streets like many subtropical cities.
The city they are currently located in is Dubai, the largest city on Earth in the former United Arab Emirates on the plane of legend, once known as the city of gold!
On the main plane, the eponymous city continues the myth of her wealth, with housing prices rising faster than the Celestial Empire and many incredible architectural marvels.
In this world, Dubai is a different story. Although there are still many towering buildings, and several iconic buildings are there, more than two years of unmanned time still severely destroyed the entire city.
Right now, the yellow sand is everywhere, the streets are full of thick sand, and the whole city looks depressed. In many places, the buildings also show signs of destruction, and only the tall buildings in the central city still look as usual.
The reason why Shen Chao chose this place as his first stop was because it was one of the cities with the fewest mutants on the entire planet. High temperatures and scarce precipitation make vegetation rare, and there is a lack of prey needed by mutants.
The combination of these environments has made this large city with a population of nearly 10 million people now dead silent, and there are now only a few hundred mutants in the huge city who have gathered into a few tribes and hid in the city where there is still a water source. They are not a threat at all.
Waiting for everyone, including all the drones and drones, to pass through the time gate, their chariots were already lined up in a long row on the street, and there was barely the end of the front and back.
After counting the number of people, Shen Chao asked a few people to stay and guard the passage, and then instructed everyone to act separately according to the plan.
They had a well-developed plan of action before they arrived, and according to the plan, they would split up and go to the city center to pick up important buildings and clear a habitable area.
The other way is to go to a few corners of the city separately and use the weapons in their hands to completely eliminate the few remaining mutants in the city.
Shen Chao went all the way to take over the downtown area, and since cleaning up the city was obviously a low-difficulty job, they accounted for the majority of the team.
The vast majority of the Hammerhead Chariots and Mechs followed their group, with only a small number of armed forces responsible for cleaning up the mutants.
It took the convoy a few minutes to cross the hurdles and reach the now depressed city center. At this time, the sun is still shining and the surrounding buildings are intact.
But there was no movement in the street except for the sound of their group's movements. This is what the dead city feels like, and nothing can be heard except the sound he makes.
After arriving at the destination and getting off the bus, Shen Chao looked at the towering buildings in front of him and sighed slightly. At this time they are at the foot of the Burj Khalifa, a landmark building in the city of Dubai.
It is a giant tower with a height of more than 800 meters, about 200 meters higher than the erected Budapest, and the interior space is also several times larger, making it the tallest building on the ground in the world.
"That's so high! Hopefully the inside will look as good as the outside. Shen Chao took off his helmet and complained when he saw this. As soon as I took off my helmet, I felt a wave of heat rushing over my face.
Although his current physique is very resistant to cold and hot environments, the current feeling is still a little annoying compared to the cold feeling when he put on the helmet just now.
It was the first time he had seen the building so closely, and the giant tower in front of him was more than twice as tall as any of the buildings around it, like a spear reaching into the sky.
Although there are many taller buildings in the Mass Effect world, there are also many buildings above this. But that's not the mainstream after all, and the sheer number of colonies in the interstellar era makes the population density on most planets not very high.
So very few buildings need to be built this high. Buildings of this size can usually only be seen on the home planets of some important races.
As for the latter sentence, it was because Shen Chao's plan was to occupy this place and transform this world-renowned building into their office headquarters in this plane for a future stage. Deal with the military and political affairs of this world.
Therefore, he really hopes that the building in front of him is well preserved, and that it does not look okay on the outside and is full of holes on the inside, lest they run in vain or spend a lot of effort to renovate.
"Don't sigh, I just hope the elevators here aren't all broken." Seeing this, Custer also took off his helmet and sighed.
He was not a big fan of the idea of having the operations headquarters here, preferring a place such as a nuclear bunker as a command center for the later stage. And not this super conspicuous building.
However, the decision to set up a management headquarters here was a team meeting, and everyone clearly preferred this sunny place to some dark, dark cave deep underground.
And he couldn't disagree with everyone else's opinion, so he forced the headquarters to move to some cold, damp cave. As he spoke, Shen Chao turned on the universal tool and let the drone swarm scan the giant tower in front of him at close range to ensure the safety of the building. (To be continued.) )
