The research center is always the busiest place in the base, a chief scientist who can't wait to put his own mass projection in every laboratory in the empire, and a group of equally enthusiastic and crazy researchers form an "army" that is not inferior to the Pandora Army in a sense, every time I visit their research room, I always have the illusion of entering the battlefield, and the atmosphere around me is as warm as the center of the earth.

I found the mass projection of Tavel in the BPS teardown area, where she was presiding over the opening test of the container, which has been carried out six times, and this is the seventh. The previous opening tests had all failed, so the researchers present had a somewhat solemn and troubled look on their faces.

And the container that has been watched by countless people is suspended on an anti-gravity platform with a radius of more than three meters, surrounded by two layers of high-strength ghost energy shields, and it is comfortable under our onlookers.

"It has a self-destruct device on the inner tank and the outer shell, and the conditions for this device are still uncertain, but it seems to have multiple patterns of hair, and we almost blew it to ashes when we first tried to unlock the outer lock of the container."

Tavel pointed to the black metal box floating in the air, and since her current state was a mass projection, she spoke with a bit of a metallic trill. I noticed that despite a few failures, Tavel wasn't too depressed and didn't complain about the metal box that had caused her so much trouble, which made me sigh at her good temper, but on second thought, it might have something to do with the fact that the container resembled a coffin.........

"Now we're trying to bypass its outer lock" Tavel paused, and called up a schematic diagram, on the image, the target container was broken down into several distinct parts, "Although the outer lock of the box was made by the ancient Mobradorans, the encryption part uses the most advanced technology of the old empire, and it can't be cracked at all, and the surface of its inner tank contains a crystal that is very sensitive to environmental changes, any abnormal damage will cause the inner tank to explode now, and the only weakness of this container is that its inner tank and shell are two parts, The inner tank can only detect whether the shell is intact, but cannot detect whether the lock on the shell is normal, so the subordinates are trying to directly use the space technique to teleport the inner tank of the container without going through the outer lock, and send it to a copied fake container, so that it may be able to fool its self-destruct system. ”

"Then let's try it."

I gave Tavel an approving look, and my gaze drifted to the side, just in time to see Biluna leading Milia at the door, and the guards at the door had been ordered to routinely scan the identification cards of the two before letting them in.

I beckoned the "mother and daughter" to come to me, and Milia's curious gaze swept around the wide research room, while Biluna looked in surprise at the black container that was being surrounded by a pile of mechanical devices, detection probes, and researchers, and asked in a low voice, "You found another life pod?" That's what you guys found on brown earth? ”

I nodded, "Zagu should have told you what's going on, right?" ”

"I can't tell," Biluna said as she pressed the head of the somewhat dishonest Milia, "I was waiting for news from him in the town, and a group of Imperial soldiers came to pick me up on the piercing machine, and on the way Zagu sent me a bunch of messy messages, all I know is that you have found another container, which is exactly the same as the one that contained Milia." ”

"That's it," I nodded, looking at Milia, hey, "and I guess we'll find Milia's sister." This box hasn't been opened yet. ”

There was a look of surprise on Biluna's face, and Milia exclaimed in surprise that I had actually covered her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth, this place is a research center, and it needs an absolutely quiet place for this girl to roar out, Tavel should have gone violently.

"Sister?" Milia looked at me, her eyes shining.

I nodded, and got up to look at the researchers, who were preparing a precise spatial positioning device.

"The space probe is in place and ready to be teleported."

The monotonous electronic synthesized sound of the auxiliary analysis system sounded in the laboratory, and Tavel confirmed the data againォ nodded: "Start separating." ”

Everyone looked at the container in the middle of the room with bated breath at the same time, for fear that their own breath would cause this vital item to be destroyed.

It's a job that requires extreme precision, and the spatial positioning requirements are even as demanding as Imperial Technologies: the average gap between the inner liner and the outer shell of the container is only a few tenths of a micron, and in many parts they fit together perfectly. Although the absence of molecular penetration in the special inner liner crystal caused the two parts to not fuse over a long period of time, it is extremely difficult to separate them when the two are perfectly fitted. The container's self-destruct device monitors both parts at the same time, and it will explode if the inner tank or the outer shell is broken.

Therefore, the process of conveying separation must be absolutely precise, and once any part of it is "cut off", it is finished.

But sometimes things don't go the way you want them to, even if there are more than a hundred people around you expect, and less than three seconds after the precision teleporter was activated, a sharp scream resounded through the room, followed by the monotonous electronic synthesized sound of the auxiliary system: "Dissociation failed, the container self-destruct mechanism is expected to be triggered, and the teleportation system has been shut down according to the preset safety protocol." Several senior researchers, who were standing outside the energy barrier and observing the separation process, briefly conversed with each other, and one of them turned to Tavel, "Chief, the container is intact, but there is no way to separate it again." The probe has just detected a special information response on the surface of the container tank, and the test target may have the function of directly sensing information changes, and all decryption methods cannot bypass information sensing. ”

I'll go! Who made this immoral thing!

"Understood," Tavel sighed, "ready to forcibly disassemble." The energy suppression system is online to delay the self-destruction of the container as much as possible. ”

The glasses girl, who has always been reluctant to admit defeat in this field, also had to accept defeat this time, but in fact, now she doesn't have to feel too distressed, just now, we have confirmed the existence of another container from Uncle Zagu, that is to say, this thing in front of us actually has an open backup, and we also have one of the things in the container, which is Milia, if it is not so rigorous, Tavir should study the latter It should be similar Of course, if this idea makes Tavel know the truth, she may have to preach againIn her opinion, the research value of the two containers may not be interchangeable, even if they look exactly the same.

But just as the researchers were preparing this most disposing plan with a frustrated mood, and Tavel was about to plead guilty with a very depressed expression, a crisp voice suddenly interrupted everyone: "Wait a minute! ”

"Milia?" Biluna and I exclaimed in unison.

It was Milia, who had just come to see the excitement, and I blinked, and suddenly slapped my head: I'm really confused, isn't there a person coming out of the box in front of me? Although she said that her preset memories have basically been lost, she may still know about the situation of this box!

"I know how to open this from the inside" Milia stood on the edge of the observation platform and pointed to the black container placed on the anti-gravity platform in the center of the room fifteen meters away, "The command to open it from the outside should be similar, maybe you can try it, the memory is confused, it seems that you need a code or a spiritual command, anyway, you can give it a try." ”

Tavel cast her searching gaze, and I nodded to her, motioning for the girl to try it.

The double-layered energy shield was opened, and Milia was small surrounded by a group of scientists

Approaching the container with a huff, we followed, and halfway there, Milia yelled dissatisfiedly at a lap of white coats: "Hey, hey, hey! Why are you so nervous! This thing should be mine, right? The Yahweh envoy is not mine, but it is also prepared for my sister! ”

I reluctantly patted Milia on the shoulder, and my eyes swept over the unmoved circle of Imperial scientists around me: "Just get used to it, they are like this." When you enter this institute, you don't expect anything else to be your own, they are desperate for the truth.

Milia cut off, strode to the side of the container, slapped the black lid, and began to close her eyes to analyze something, and suddenly I felt the mass projection of Tavel next to me shaking: I guess if it weren't for my face, this glasses lady would now let Milia see what is called the power of a scientist.

Everyone looked at Milia and her container without blinking, at first, the thing didn't move at all, and some people began to doubt the success of the attempt, but soon. I noticed changes that were visible to the naked eye.

The shimmering lines of energy on the surface of the container are gradually becoming brighter.

A small holographic projection suddenly appeared above the container, startling everyone and Milia herself, and then a soft female voice began to echo in the air: "The key identification point has been detected by the detection, and the key identification point has been removed from the storage area to confirm that the identification point is in good condition." The pod opens. ”

"It worked!" Milia clapped her hands happily as the lid of the container, which had been tightly closed, cracked several bright blue lines, and its lid broke into irregular pieces of metal that slowly slid away in all directions, and we looked at each other in surprise, while Tavel smiled happily.

Milia first wanted to see what the container looked like, such as whether she would have another sister, so before everyone could look at the container, she pounced, and then, an incredible scene appeared.

"The state of the storage compartment is abnormal and cannot be self-checked, the emergency security plan is activated, and the upload begins."

With this soft female voice, a dazzling blue pillar of light suddenly radiated from the container, and Milia, who was rushing over, suddenly crashed into this pillar of light, and then the whole person turned into a streamer and disappeared in front of everyone, leaving only the emotionless report of the container in the air: "Uploaded." ”

The sudden change stunned everyone, but Tavel reacted quickly, she immediately ordered the energy suppression system to be activated, but the container did not react after submerging Miria, and even the energy texture on the surface returned to a dim state.

"Milia!" Biluna now reacted and let out an exclamation, pushing away the two researchers and then pounced on the open black box, at the same time, the anti-gravity platform also decreased due to the effect of the energy suppression force field, and under her pounce, the metal box fell lightly to the ground, and the scene inside was unobstructed: where is the shadow of Milia in the empty dngdng crystal liner?

Of course, there was no other ancient android that we expected.

"Emergency. Emergency! Liye closed the space of the research institute and looked back at all the overtime banquets in the headquarters in the past minute! Tavel's mass projection passed directly through everyone's bodies, and while rushing to the observation platform and issuing orders to the servo host, the other researchers also ran to their respective posts, and began to skillfully use the emergency response plan in their memory bank to arrange the next search work, and Lu Na looked at the empty container blankly, I patted her on the shoulder and she didn't respond.

How exactly is this organized?

The change happened so fast that I didn't have time to react to the black box, and when Milia disappeared, I also confirmed that there was no spatial change around me, that is, in fact, the space-time phenomenon does not exist, but why didn't Milia have it?

In the sleepy huo, the eyes refocused on the black box, and what made people care more was the last sentence that this thing said: the upload is complete.

Upload? What is it uploading? Milia? A big living person?

Just when I was puzzled, a voice suddenly came into my mind, and it was the voice of Milia who had just disappeared: "Uh, brother? Can you hear it? I'm sick ................"

I was shocked, but instead of alarming the others, I quickly asked, "Milia, where are you?" What's going on now? ”

"I'm in the dormitory" Milia's answer was very unexpected, "I'm so dizzy, I almost threw up just now, well, come and pick me up, I'm nesting in the black box here now, and I don't have the strength to climb out!" ”

"Milia has been found!" I greeted the busy crowd, and then hurriedly sent someone over to fetch the girl back, and a moment later, several Imperial soldiers helped the dish-faced Banlia back here, and I found that she was still walking and shaking, her face was full of green light, and she looked like watching Resident Evil eat half a bowl of blood tofu after a twenty-four hour roller coaster.

Noticing the concerned gaze of a circle of people, Milia weakly made a V-sign gesture to us, and at this time did not forget to smile mischievously: "Hey, I'm back safely." ”

After some inquiry, we know what happened: Milia was sent to another container in the dormitory!

The Imperial soldiers brought the container back with them, two black metal boxes spinning slowly side by side on an anti-gravity platform, although one of the surfaces was polished with clear tiles, the others were exactly the same, and since they were both open, the inner tank could be seen in full view.

The inside of the chest from brown Saturn was a little dim, and the container it had brought with it was emitting a much brighter blue light than it had been when I first saw it.

Tavel immediately organized people to inspect the two chests, and now we don't have to worry about the self-destruction of the boxes, Milia told us that her operation is equivalent to reducing the safety level of the container, and now the self-destruct switch of that thing can no longer be activated, unless she, the controller, takes the initiative to open it.

But for the previous accidental teleportation, Milia said that she had no comment: her head was still dizzy.

Obviously, in addition to the two boxes, there is also Milia, a big living person, who has also expected this situation, and seems to be very cooperative, and she can still happily run to take the initiative to apply for a medical examination when she is worried about Lu Na, presumably in the eyes of this cheerful girl, the imperial scientist's testing project is more like a game, which can allow her to experience the feeling of participating in a big event. Because she knew that no one here would harm her.

Biluna insisted on staying in the research institute, on the grounds that Milia would not be harmed, and it was a good thing to have a relative by her side when cooperating with the test, so we didn't stop her from taking a stand, so we prepared a complete double dormitory for her and Milia, the kind of specifications that Reimu and Yakumo Zi lived in at the beginning, yes, it was the kind of high-end room that could scrape gold dust......

The enthusiasm of the scientists of the Ya Rang Dan Empire, it will take time to figure out what happened to Milia and her box in a short time, and I left the institute with a sleepy mind, but as soon as I went out, I was met by a golden figure.

Yayun Lan is taking awkward steps, like a zombie pulling forward and slipping forward, she first raised one foot in a daze, then leaned forward with her whole body, and then put her foot down vertically, and then the other foot quickly dragged the ground to follow, and so on, and so on, and raised the other foot in a daze, tell you so, go to the door of the brain department of the city hospital and take a turn, basically like this.........

The fox's intuition is keen, Lan felt a sight in front of him from a distance, so he raised his head and gave me a gentle smile, and then continued to drag the half-body appearance and swayed over, I finally found that the other party was not just a normal pace: her fluffy tail was spreading out in an unprecedented mental posture, and the fluff on it stood up like a sword mound pointing straight to the sky, and the blue at this moment was like a peacock opening the screen, I have no doubt that now as long as a gust of wind blows, she can soar, and I finally know where Orange Meow has smeared the remaining half bottle of hairspray!!
