Chapter 1002: One of the Secrets of King's Landing
Actually, this is the first time I've set foot on the land of Green Star, although this planet was dragged back to the shadow space as a trophy a few days ago, but the people who are busy on it are scientists, and Tavir described the planet's defense system as extremely sensitive and fragile, resulting in the landing force except for the first batch of scorpion soldiers who landed on Green Star were grounded, and at first I wanted to follow Vega and them to take a look, but I forgot about it after such a delay.
"My subordinates really don't feel at ease to let those rough soldiers move around on this planet" Tavel said when he greeted me from the shuttle, I came alone, although I was very interested in Green Star, but I was really afraid that girl would come and move around" In just a few days, we found at least three Chapter 1002 King's Landing secrets on the surface of Green Star 10,000 crystal clusters suspected of being alarm devices, their effective radius covering the entire planet, Any energy fluctuations that exceed the threshold will be recognized by the Green Star as a signal that it is being attacked, and then a layer of energy barrier beneath its crust will activate. Fortunately, these alarms are only responsible for activating defenses, and are not connected to the self-destruct system, so there is good reason to believe that the planet can self-destruct. ”
"Yes, yes, I also believe that anything that the old empire touches should self-destruct."
I said yes and jumped on the spot, the planet's gravity was slightly lower than Earth's standard gravity, but it didn't feel like much of a difference, the ground was covered with a layer of green and shiny material, and all the way to the horizon was this clear green, they looked crystal clear and textured. But it's soft to step on, as Vega reported to me last time, and she described it as "a natural carpet that can relax all six legs". Well, until now I find her way of describing it a bit hard to understand......
The landing point that Tavel guided us was near the North Pole of Green Star, which was artificially demarcated by us, because Green Star temporarily stopped rotating when it was dragged over by the plundering ship, and did not resume its activity until one of the Secrets of the King's Landing, Chapter 1002 of Shadows, and a small operational episode made the planet not rotate along its original axis of rotation, and then Tavel simply redesignated the North Pole according to the current axis of rotation of Green Star, if there were aborigines on this planet. It should be impossible to find the north by now.
Around the landing site is a slightly messy scientific outpost, several custom-formed planetary colony warehouses are spliced together horizontally to form a series of laboratories and other facilities, and there are tall strange devices everywhere around the outpost, all of which are bizarre things used by scientists, Tavel introduced that these are special equipment used to scan the Green Star: everything used here is specially made, even temporarily assembled, so there is no way to plan neatly according to the system, This makes the experimental area look less neat and tidy than a typical Imperial base.
"We tried our best to adjust the energy bands of all our devices. to bypass the Green Star's alarms and barriers. You can see in the distance a very tall crystal tip cluster, this tip cluster is one of the 30,000 alarms, I don't know what kind of civilization made this system. They grow from the ground to the surface, and these clusters of spikes are the only safe way to determine what's beneath the earth's crust: at least without drilling through the ground. But they are also connected to the planet's alarm network, and it is not easy to scan these clusters without triggering the alarm. These purpose-built scanning devices don't look great, but they perform well in use. ”
"I wondered, could it be that this planet has been staying in the safe zone of space for tens of thousands of years?" I asked, puzzled, "Listen to what you described, the alarm system in this place is a sensitive mess." Wouldn't that trigger a global martial law by a single move? Wouldn't it self-destruct if it let a meteorite hit it? You said, it has a self-destruct system. ”
"That's a good explanation. The kilometer-thick layer of gel crystals on the surface of the Green Star has a protective effect similar to that of an armor layer, and although it seems difficult to explain, the subordinates collected a few samples and found that they can be charged, and when charged, they will become as strong as interstellar alloy, and can resist a variety of energy attacks. Theoretically, yes. ”
It sounds a bit like the charged armor used by the Imperial Starship, but I don't know if this green carpet is made of ghostly energy.
"In addition, Green Star's alarm system has the ability to discriminate," Tavel saw that I had no doubt, and continued, "We carefully tested it several times to determine that this system only works against attacks and infiltrations below the earth's crust, and in the case of a meteorite impact, it activates an offset shield that will bounce off the attack. ”
I raised my eyebrows: "Shield? You say the planet has a shield? ”
"Once, we found a charged ring structure half a kilometer underground, it should be an old-fashioned shield generator, they have a ghost energy reaction, indicating that it is something that the old empire equipped for the vassal race, but these shield generators should have been broken, or the energy is insufficient, anyway, these shields were not activated when the Fallen Apostles attacked. Theoretically, yes. ”
"You can't find these clusters, do you?"
I looked around at the desolate wilderness, the surface of the green star was quite monotonous, and there were only two things here: the green gel crystals that covered the entire surface of the planet, and the so-called crystal clusters that were slightly lighter in color and really had the texture of crystals, which Tavel discovered later, but I didn't think they were important enough to deserve to call me over.
"Of course it's not just that."
Sure enough, Tavel shook his head, and then turned on the holographic projection, "We found it in the depths of the Green Star...... Strange life reactions. ”
My ears suddenly puffed up: "Life reaction? There's a living person down here?! ”
"No, it's hard to say, the subordinates even suspect that this is a false alarm from the instrument: the feedback signal below stretches into patches, and life reactions are produced in an area almost the size of the earth's core, but according to the results obtained by the band frequency difference analysis method, the frequency of these feedback signals is the same, that is, from the same life form, which is theoretically so."
"Core-sized creatures?" I was dumbfounded, then involuntarily glanced at the sky. Sandora was hanging there spinning leisurely, waiting for the moment of rebirth, so she suddenly calmed down. "It doesn't seem like something unthinkable."
"Please don't take the strength of the Apostle Hiling as a rule." Tavel looked at the golden sun in the sky with a smile, don't you really say it, with Sandora shining there, the exploration of the surface of the green star is much easier, at least there is no need for additional lighting.
"First of all, we can't explain why a planet has a huge organism at the center of the earth: if it is really an organism. This is not clear from any kind of evolutionary template, and naturally such life would not have been born unless it was made by Jingle Bell. Secondly. You should take a look at this, which is near the mantle of the Green Star. ”
I looked at the images that Tavel pointed out, above which were a hierarchical analysis of the green star structure diagram, most of which were marked with the word "pending", indicating that the structure of those parts was only conjectured based on limited information and could be very different from the actual situation, and at the mantle location, in addition to the words pending, there were many honeycomb grids. These grids are evenly sized. It is distributed according to the periodic pattern, and it looks like a ribbon in the shape of a loop.
"These are all hollows, and the green star is divided into many layers. The outermost layer is the gel crystals, the next layer is the solid crust, and further down are the nests. The signal shielding and alarm networks that currently pervade the Earth's crust are supposed to be emaniating from these nests, and they are 100% man-made, but several detection plans for these places have failed, and as soon as anything touches these grids, it will be destroyed by a strong energy pulse, the pulse type is ghost, maybe an anti-infantry sentry cannon or something. The subordinates didn't dare to put a more powerful probe down: that might trigger some sort of self-destruct procedure. Theoretically, yes. ”
"It's discreet, it's good." I nodded as I looked at the structure of the Green Star. At the heart of it, with a red patch of handwriting that reads "Suspected Life Reaction," my attention was drawn to it.
"Jingle Bell, Ding Bell" I reached into my breast pocket and grabbed the little guy who was hiding in it and eating bubblegum "Help...... Is it necessary for you to be so exaggerated when you eat bubble gum?! ”
Tinkerbell was tied up like a mummy by bubble gum, and shouted sullenly: "Clank Bell is actually very powerful!" Dingdong wanted to try fancy candy, but it didn't work. ”
"Three sets of clothes a day is not enough for you!" I took out the cup and washed the dingbell, "Okay, okay, let's take a look at this, you might be interested." ”
It should be right to look for something related to strange creatures, at least she did well in her major classes. I pointed to her the projection provided by Tavel: "Look at this, there is such a large creature near the core of the Green Star, well, it could also be a group of creatures, but Tavel thinks it is not very likely, the result of scanning with the Empire's equipment is that there is only a single creature there, right, if you scan the reaction of life, you shouldn't need our equipment, right?" ”
Clank Bell jumped to the nearest machine and compared himself to the machine's induction crystal: "Clank Bell can't reach it, so I can't use it!" ”
Okay, I asked a pretty good question.
The little goddess began to fly around in the air with her arms in her arms, her peanut-sized face was full of serious looks, she chattered for a long time, and then leaned back on my head: "The interference is a bit strong, but the following is not a life reaction." Of course, there's really only one inside the core, a pretty big guy, and here"
Jingle Bell said, jumping into the air and kicking a few places on the holographic projection with his little feet: "These grid-like structures also have signs of life, at least some signs of life. ”
"It's weird" Clankle somersaulted in mid-air, which is her unique flying stunt "There must be many, many lives there, they are all alive, many souls are gathered together, but unlike ordinary lives, they don't feel alive...... It seems that a lot of free spirits are mixed together, and there is a strong interference, and it is impossible to break through at all. ”
Tavel and I looked at each other for a moment, and we both saw surprise in each other's eyes, but no one doubted what Tinker Bell said, as a goddess of life, her judgment was more accurate than the most advanced life detectors.
"I feel creepy," I pinched Tinkerbell's wings and put her back in my pocket, the little thing just poked its little head out and looked around, "How does it feel like a ghost?" There are hundreds of millions of lonely souls and wild ghosts under the green star? ”
"If they really exist. That's at least tens of thousands of years old," Tavir looked solemn and said in a serious tone, slowly adjusting the instrument in his hand. “…… They were alive before the fall of the old empire, before the fallen apostles appeared......"
"Can we get in touch with them?"
"Theoretically...... Can't "Tavel shook his head regretfully" At the beginning of our exploration, we had already accidentally touched the Green Star's alarm system two or three times, but apart from the automatic defense response with no signs of intelligence. No other information was received: communication from the underground, nothing. They may not have been aware of the Emperor's arrival at all, let alone that their planet had been captured. ”
"Find a way to connect with those living beings," Sandora's voice suddenly came from the spiritual connection, "Whatever the method, they may be the only surviving vassal race after the fall of the Empire." ”
Tavel immediately gave a military salute to the throne of Jurasis: wearing sunglasses.
"Ah Jun, if you dare to sing "My Sun" again, I'm so angry!" Sandora was keenly aware of my malicious eyes: from tens of thousands of kilometers away, she immediately shouted and threatened, "That's right. What about the King's Landing's Juggernaut ship? Is there any possibility of a restart? ”
Tavel was stunned. The expression was subtle: "...... This one...... It's a bit hard, you know, it's basically dying everywhere. It's a miracle that we can put it together now. ”
Tavel has her own difficulties, and although she is a super-active chief scientist, she also has her own limits to what she can do. The cutting-edge techniques required for such a thing as King's Landing are too wide-ranging, and as a perverted product of the old Emperor's thinking after reaching a certain extreme, the King's Landing's Juggernaut has taken almost all the techniques involved in combat to the limit.
After finishing my communication with Sandora, Tavel and I made small talk, at first about the reaction of life beneath the Green Star, but quickly. Our conversation is biased towards King's Landing.
"A King's Landing, the most common model. How strong will it be? I asked curiously.
Tavel thought for a moment, "My subordinates have not experienced the glory days of King's Landing, so they can only guess from historical data. A King's Landing, a superweapon in terms of warfare positioning, even higher than a planet fortress. It can be severely damaged by even a bomb-laden assault ship before it is fully charged, but when it does, King's Landing can wipe out almost everything within range, including the most powerful Eternal-class motherships. This ship went to extremes, and went quite far: it was almost impossible to find anything more paranoid in the same position of warfare, perhaps its original model was developed in the context of a terrible battle, under which basically every kind of revolutionary armament of the Empire was developed. ”
"One level higher than the Star Fortress?" I raised my eyebrows, "I think the Warsong is strong enough, at least the Warsong is equipped with multiple law-type law equipment, and one Warsong turned our fleet around." ”
"An old Imperial planetary battleship can cause a fleet of great problems but can't wipe it out, while a fully charged King's Landing can wipe out a fleet and take out a planetary ship by the way: they are not the same battlefield. The mission of King's Landing is to destroy the enemy, and it is more inclined to fight: to destroy the enemy head-on with the strongest combat power, and inflict a devastating blow on the target in a short time, while the latter can be heard from the name, the other name of the Star Battleship is the Star Fortress, the word fortress is not the name of the weapon, but should be regarded as a moving position, even if they are larger, more expensive, and more complex in construction, they are not used to charge. ”
I thought about it for a while, and I knew in my heart: this is equivalent to having to pull a nuclear warhead and compare who is more powerful with a presidential palace, in terms of administrative level, the presidential palace crushes nuclear warheads, and the cost is the same, but thrown on the battlefield, tens of thousands of presidents can't withstand the nuclear bombing, right?
Of course, the planetary fortress is much more powerful than the presidential palace, at least it can be used for war, you can think of it as the presidential palace full of anti-aircraft guns, and it is full of congressmen carrying RPGs.
Tavel heard my description and nodded admiringly, "Your idea is chic. ”
I'm very interested in the weapon system of King's Landing, Genesis, according to the existing description, I think it's something similar to the main "cannon", when it starts, it will "shoot" at the target and then destroy the target, this way of fighting looks a bit rude, the more advanced weapon should be like the Warsong, stand still, and then the law weapon will be opened, xx light years away it will become upside down, as a thing that is stronger than the combat power of the Warsong (only in terms of combat effectiveness), but the King's Landing uses such a savage weapon, It's amazing.
I consulted Tavel in detail and learned the true nature of the Book of Genesis, of course, in the documentary version.
"Information dismantling and reorganization directional delivery device" nicknamed "demolition division" common name: Genesis.
"It will send a set of short messages to the target to demarcate the 'attachment point', as long as the target exists and can interact with the surrounding world, the attachment point will connect it with the Genesis system, this is the aiming process, and then the Genesis starts, all the information of the target is scrambled, randomly reassembled, this is the attack process, Genesis is such a simple and crude thing" Tavel explained this device that sounds powerful but completely incomprehensible "You know that everything in the world is based on information descriptions, Because they can interact with other things, they exist and are valuable, and Genesis is a step on the basis of this final pole, which will destroy the information structure of the target, like a very small and fast hot start, although the attack range is limited, as long as the target is within the range, it will be demolished.
Now, our first goal was to create a weakened version of the Genesis ...... that could be applied to other ships!! wW
