The most pleasant thing I can think of is a cup of tea after dinner every day, and then hang myself on the balcony for half a day of photosynthesis, with a lazy perspective of 30 degrees to watch this bustling and noisy world flow in front of my eyes, and sometimes, the most pleasant thing I can think of is a slight change: that is, it is best to have one more sister around during photosynthesis, she must be very patient, will not grasp herself and ask a hundred thousand things for nothing, and can accompany me to watch the bustling and noisy world of the world. Sandora is a good candidate: if she is given enough food, she can eat in one place all day long. The second candidate is Pandora, but the latter is so quiet that putting her next to you is equivalent to putting a desk lamp next to you......

Of course, more often than not, it's Lilina who basks in the sun next to me: she seems to be evolving the ability to photosynthesize.

I love this kind of laid-back time, just like it is now.

But as a normal young man in the new era who is in his prime and vigorous, and does not seem to be sick or disabled in all aspects, his lazy attitude to life is often complained about by the people around him, such as Miss Lin, such as Bingtis, such as the two of them in a group. In the words of the eldest lady, as the king of a country...... Well, at least as a father of a group of children, I Chen someone doesn't say that I go out every day to conquer the world, at least don't grow on the balcony like a perennial herb, she sharply evaluates me as a typical symptom of juvenile progeria, and uses her grandfather's example to educate me: a person, if the mentality becomes an old man. Then you really become an old man, and if you have a very young mentality, then ...... Then he's still an old man.

So if possible, I will definitely not reason with Miss Lin.

But I've always insisted that it's the inertia of the Void creatures that makes me like this peaceful and leisurely life—even though there are only a handful of perfectly eligible days in my daily activities—so I'm also envious of Sylvia, the only one I've ever seen who can live the year as if it were a day and still have little to worry about starving herself to death: she's a true perennial herb in terms of lifestyle.

There is a reason why I was able to get this rare day of leisure, because the biggest and most troublesome thing at hand has just come to an end: the first batch of ships of the Fifth Fleet to complete emergency repairs have arrived on the planet Kerudak, and the containment, diversion, placement, distribution of materials, ship handover, and other work have been arranged. The refugees will be shunted to temporary settlements on nearby satellites with the assistance of the Fourth Fleet to further alleviate the pressure on ecosystems aboard the Fifth Fleet's colonial megaships. Aid from several other worlds has also been transported to the skies of Kerudaq under the escort of the Imperial fleet. Wait for the council and her aides to take over and distribute it uniformly.

This was the first time that the Imperial fleet had appeared in front of the exiles on a large scale since they had moved into their new homes, but this time, the Imperial fleet had arrived laden with food and other supplies that the refugees desperately needed. And soon, the supplies from all over the country will be distributed to the refugees to survive the harshest four months.

The things I've been busy with for the past few days have come to an end, and the rest of the work has been arranged, and I no longer need to give instructions myself, although there is still a lot of work to be done. But at present, I can breathe a little sigh of relief and can tease my children at home. Watch Monina beat her brother, bask in the sun, watch Monina ...... Well, these items are left aside.

"Fox, what are you busy with?" I turned my head to look at the balcony door, where Yakumo was sitting on a small stool and busy with her head at work, holding two slender metal rods in her hands—a movement that was instantly visible no matter how you looked at it.

"Knit a scarf for Orange," Blue didn't raise his head, "Also, my name is Yakumo Blue." It's not called a fox. ”

"Good thing, fox," I shrugged, "and your own hair again?" Anyway, you knit something every once in a while, isn't it malnutrition and a little hair loss? Don't do ion perm in the future, that has a bad effect on the hair quality. ”

Lan wagged his tail and continued not to look up: "No, just because I have nine tails." Other than that. My name is Blue, not Fox! ”

I thought about it, and suddenly realized what is the biggest significance of the demon fox's cultivation to the nine-tailed sky fox, that is, after each moult, you can weave an extra scarf - I heard that all the scarf gloves from childhood to adulthood are woven from blue. Faced with this fact, I have only one question to ask: how does this fox usually collect the fur that he has shed!

Just when I didn't know what I was thinking or what I was thinking in the next second, I was drowsy and almost dozed, a voice suddenly broke into my head:

“…… Contact...... Arrive safely...... Waiting for a response......"

This sudden and inexplicable voice woke me up from my groggy state all of a sudden, probably because my movement was a little loud, and even scared Lilina who was glowing green next to her, and the word "exp+5" floated on her head from time to time, and the little girl looked at me in horror: "Boss, you killed someone in your dream?" Me: "......"

Sometimes it's like I don't know how the shallow thing around Lilina's neck works.

"It's okay, it seems that I have auditory hallucinations just now...... "I was puzzled for a while, but I already had experience, and I soon realized that I was afraid that I was afraid that I was exposed to information from that mysterious fourth civilization again for unknown reasons, and after quickly calming down, I decided to take a look at the energy spectrum monitoring system: everyone must remember that we (mainly Pandora) have carried out murderous modifications to this house, adding a lot of strange equipment, including a high-sensitivity radar that monitors all nearby energy and spatial reactions- Although he didn't have much hope for it, he was still expecting that in the last few seconds, somewhere nearby would produce a reading of a spatial anomaly or something.

But just as he was about to get up, a portal suddenly appeared beside him, and Sandora walked out of it, looking not very good. I know that she went to Shadow City early in the morning to inspect the construction progress of the dive ship. Now it seems that something is not going well?

I put the auditory hallucinations aside for a moment: "What's wrong?" Something went wrong with the dive vessel? ”

"Progress is slow, and we have encountered a technical bottleneck," Sandora did not hide in the face of my concerned inquiry, "I can't find a system core that completely excludes the abyssal influence. You know, abyssal pollution is a vicious circle, it pollutes the protection system, so that the protection system slowly collapses, and then the pollution intensifies, and the protection system collapses at a faster rate. The pollution intensified again, and it continued to worsen, and because the abyssal pollution was all-encompassing, it polluted everything that produced the order indiscriminately, even if we set up more redundant components, they were always damaged to varying degrees before they were replaced. Inside the abyss, pollution is everywhere, there are no islands of safety, and the system has no time to repair itself. And as the depth of the dive increases, the intensity of contamination and the chance of system error also multiply. Even the control center of the system may voluntarily turn off the shield due to contamination - that is, the tendency to self-destruct. No matter what method is used to reduce this probability, as long as there is no system core that can isolate 100% of the abyssal pollution, the probability of its occurrence will always be greater than zero, and the life of the deep-diving ship will become extremely unstable, and it will almost certainly not be able to return when it is close to the deep zone. ”

Sure enough, it's these technical things, although I don't want to admit it, but I really can't help in these aspects. Sandora also knew this, so she quickly shook her head: "Forget it, Ah Jun shouldn't think too much, maybe I'm a little anxious, after all, the new empire's deep diving ship technique has just started, and Tavir should be given some time to eat those blueprints thoroughly." ”

Lilina looked up at the conversation between the two of us, her head spinning. Then I finally couldn't help but jump up: "Big sister head, big sister head!" The boss just had auditory hallucinations! ”

"Big sister head ......" Shandora's expression instantly stiffened, but the next second she reacted, "Auditory hallucinations? ”

"Ah, it's the kind of thing I heard last time I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I suspect a source. I replied.

Sandora knew that this matter was likely to be of great significance, and immediately grabbed my hand: "What about the contents?" ”

"There are a dozen or so characters of punctuation, what can it be," I spread my hand, "I guess the other side already knows that their detector is in place, and nothing else." ”

"They know that their probe is in place...... "Sandora's brow furrowed deeply, "isn't it determined that the Black Shuttle has lost contact with the place where it was launched?" Could it be that it has started to communicate with the bottom of the abyss again...... Not good! Hurry up and move it somewhere else! ”

"You're worried that the coordinates of the imperial capital will be revealed as a result?" I immediately thought of Sandora's concerns, but after a moment waved my hand, "If that's true, it might be too late." You know how easy it is for a probe to send back its coordinates after establishing contact with headquarters. If you just want to keep the coordinates of the capital, then there is no point in transferring it now. ”

I thought about it, and now I can't be sure what the attitude of the super civilization at the bottom of the abyss is towards the empire - although the other side seems to be cooperating with us in the "bridge" project (they are unilateral, the empire stopped the related project tens of thousands of years ago), but no one knows what kind of "guests" we will welcome when the bridge is built, and at worst, it will break out into war. After all, even the initial contact between two strange civilizations in the void will be full of vigilance, not to mention that we are facing a group of civilizations that have come out of the abyss - although all kinds of evidence suggest that they are orderly.

"And instead of diversioning this negative means...... "I thought to myself," I said, "we should find a way to stop it, or...... Block it out with something. ”

Since the black shuttle is a detector, then collecting information is its basic function, and no one knows how the black shuttle works and where its information collection device is, but according to the level of the most advanced detectors made by the Empire, the black shuttle probably has the ability to accurately scan all information within a few astronomical units, regardless of any material obstacles. We had always thought that Hessob had completely lost contact with its base, but now it seems that at least it has the ability to send back a "report of arrival".

After a little hesitation, I took Sandora's hand: "Let's go, go to the research center." ”

The task of analyzing the black shuttle is a newly formed research group, of course. It is also under the leadership of Tavel's quality projection, but because Tavel's energy is limited after all, the direct person in charge of this research group is a senior Xiling technician, a slightly taciturn dark-skinned uncle, whose name seems to be Tovik or Victor, and should be one of Tavel's most trusted assistants. The black shuttle research area is located in the No. 22 test space on the top floor of the research center - we actually thought about how to shield the black shuttle at the beginning, so we put it in an independent test space, but now it seems that this conventional shielding method is really a bit careless.

"Your Majesty, the attempt to dismantle the black shuttle is still ongoing."

See me and Sandora visit in person. The senior technician, who didn't know whether Tovik or Victor was called, immediately greeted him, probably thinking that we had come to inquire about the progress of the work.

"Have you recently observed any outward messages, or signs of receiving commands and increasing the intensity of activity?"

Sandora asked directly, and the senior technician in front of him was immediately stunned, and he realized what seemed to be happening: "The black shuttle has not been observed to produce any information output, and its working state has always been in a state of freshly recovered." Your Majesty, are you ......?"

"That thing might still be in contact with its base," Sandora looked at the gravity-free platform in the distance, "just now. It has sent back reports of its arrival to its base, and has most likely sent back all the information it has been in contact with. ”

The senior technician didn't ask us how we knew about the Dao, which even he didn't know. Instead, he immediately showed a shocked look: "What...... Your Majesty, we need to move ...... immediately."

"I'm afraid it doesn't make much sense anymore, the most important information has already been collected when it was sent into this world," I waved my hand, "and even if it is transferred, it will continue to collect information, so I plan to simply block it in place and not let this thing have access to more information." ”

"Shielding? With all due respect, Your Majesty. The senior technician shook his head, "The test space is a separate space, and there is an effective shield here, but the black shuttle can still transmit signals back. And all of our current shielding methods are basically established with a similar principle to the test space, even if the strength and safety are higher, it is only a variant of the independent space, and the effect is probably ......"

"Nope. There's a more efficient shield: the Void," I said with a smile, gradually switching to the Void form, "Black Shuttle definitely has the ability to communicate in the Void." But only in the regular Void. If it is an artificially created and tendentious void, then as long as this void prohibits any form of information exchange, no matter how clever the technological means are, it will be ineffective. Cut Test Space 22 out of the Institute's laboratory sequence, cut it off from all hard connections to the outside world, and then I'll cover the space with some of my own force. ”

In fact, I've been studying this question for a long time: what else can I do with my Void Power other than allow myself to fight with any enemy, and turn myself into a courier.

I'm well aware that as a Void creature I'm quite immature, and all of my current Void-related skills are close to biological instinct (biological instinct for Void creatures), and I'm even embarrassed to call them "skills", after all, skills are more or less a skill in addition to ability, right, but the last thing I understand is how to organize this skill. But I consider myself lucky: at least I have two experienced seniors. One of them lived a little farther away, but the other was basically a neighbor, and after asking God for advice from time to time, I was able to find a rough idea of where I was headed.

And shielding the black shuttle is an attempt, I want to try to see if I can accurately control my own force, and even after separating them, I can maintain it into a "field" that continues my will, this "field" should be the prototype of the kind of force used by the father to create the divine realm, but now I can only let it be used as a signal jammer, I estimate that there are not thousands of years, even with the guidance of the father, I can't master the latter's ability to create the divine realm.

The division of space 22 was quickly completed, after all, this is the test area, all the equipment and even the entire space are modular, and it is very easy to disassemble and assemble, and then, the entire outer space is shrouded by a layer of void realm.

I carefully adjusted the properties of this Void Realm, discerning which information fluctuations represented the free flow of information, and then removing this fluctuation and all similar information phenomena from the Void Realm, and after completing this modification, I withdrew from the Void Realm, and for the first time in my life, when I lifted the transformation, I did not take back the Void Realm that had escaped from it, but let them continue like that.

Like the Great Hollow in Azeroth, as long as you don't take it back, it can last forever until ...... Well, I don't know until when.

The first time I cut off a piece of the Void Realm, I felt a little uncomfortable, but probably for psychological reasons, this kind of consumption is not as big as when I led the Fifth Fleet to drag racing. After doing all this, I looked at the senior technician: "Now confirm the exchange of information between this space and the outside world." ”

"Completely interrupted." The other party affirmed, "Only the psychic connection can still be used, and all other communication is interrupted...... No, it's not so much an interruption, it's better to say that those devices don't start at all, as long as they are used to communicate with the outside world, they seem to have lost the theoretical basis for their operation, and they don't know how to run themselves, and the communicator actually shows 'unrecognizable operation request'! ”

This is of course, because for space 22, the external exchange of information has become a non-existent concept, as if if we fundamentally delete the concept of "wheel", the current civilization of the earthlings will immediately collapse into a mess, and now, there is no possibility of exchanging information with the outside world in this space.

The only exception is the Psychic Connection, as I am also mounted on the Imperial Psychic Connect, so this communication is considered the only exception.

In this way, the shielding of the black shuttle is completed...... Well, probably done. It's just a method I just came up with, and I really don't know how it works, but I hope it works.

So, now let me see what else is so special about this black thing.
