The majestic steel structure juts into the sky, standing on either side of a concrete platform as wide as a plain, and from a distance it looks like a double-edged steel spear poking into the sky from the bottom of the sea!

It was a man-made valley, and it was in the middle of the rough southern sea!

Not to mention that Dora's eyes widened in shock, and she stood still in place, even Ye Shi, who got out of the hatch, was shocked fiercely, and couldn't help but open her mouth wide for a while.

He seemed to be in the middle of a huge figure-of-eight tower.

Look up and you'll see an endless cliff, leaving only the end of the world that can be covered by the highest punch!

This is the space elevator of the Alliance!

Although it is not as long as 90,000 kilometers, it is enough to shock his eyes.

"I'm ......," Yashi couldn't help but mutter.

Boy.

He's only been away for more than three months, and the alliance has become so awesome?!

Jiang Xuezhou was also shocked, rubbed his eyes and looked at it again.

“…… Is this made of ceramic steel? ”

Finally recognizing the steel material, she took a deep breath, but was poured into the sea breeze and coughed several times before calming down.

Yajuchi reached out and patted her on the back, a word of concern.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine...... calmed down his chaotic breathing, Jiang Xuezhou raised his head and muttered, "You guys are too exaggerated, is this a starship built on the sea?" ”

Or two erected aircraft carriers.

But in any case, this is shocking enough for her, who has only seen similar structures on the ruins of the Human Union era.

Ye Shi understood the shock in her heart at this moment, after all, he was not much worse.

Although someone on the official website forum gave him a show through the elevator before, the text description and dry photos are obviously not as spectacular as seeing it with his own eyes.

“…… Although this is the first time I've seen this thing, I've heard that this thing has been under construction for a long time, and it has only recently been built. ”

And—

It's not just the league's work.

From the beginning of the space elevator project, this project has been jointly participated by the alliance, enterprises and units and organizations at all levels of the South China Sea Alliance, especially the ideal group has made a lot of efforts, nearly 37% of the production capacity has been completed by them.

But on the other hand, the rewards they have received from this project are also enormous.

I heard that as of yesterday's closing, Ideal Group has risen by 50% in the past 120 trading days, and has regained its position as the No. 1 enterprise in Ideal City Value!

This is the first time this kind of thing has happened since the completion of Ideal City a century and a half ago ago.

With the completion of the space elevator and the injection of high-quality asset shares, the ideal group once again opened up the imagination space of the residents of the ideal city for the future, and once again made itself great!

In fact, it has changed from an enterprise in the ideal city to an enterprise of human civilization.

By the time everyone was vaguely aware of it, it had actually happened.

The same thing happened with the Endpoint Group in Ideal City.

As the representative of the "most conservative force" in Ideal City, Endpoint Group has always opposed the company's outward expansion for the sake of maintaining its market share and board seats.

After all, there is no network demand in the wasteland, and the chaotic environment is not suitable for the construction of endpoint clouds, and a cr server that costs tens of millions of dollars only needs a bazooka to be blown into slag.

But with the end of the Wasteland era, the most conservative corporate subsidiary has become the most progressive force, pushing for globalization as aggressively as the Internet companies of yesteryear.

At present, the alliance's postal, logistics, industrial, financial and other industries have successively introduced endpoint cloud services.

It is believed that it will not be long before the civil network will be opened with the expansion of the width of submarine cable channels and the improvement of infrastructure.

At that time, the residents of Ideal City will be able to connect to their hometown's net even if they lie on the beach of French Fries Harbor, and even have a black chicken with netizens in Coral City buried under the sea.

After two and a half centuries, the human survivors of the eastern part of the Middle-earth continent will once again welcome the Internet age!

I believe that it will give birth to a new round of prosperity, and even make the five giants of Ideal City become six, seven or eight giants.

But that's all for later......

……

Not long after the group left the elevator, a group of people soon came in the distance.

Among them, one of the leaders is Han Mingyue, a researcher at the Alliance Academy of Social Sciences, and the other is Sun Zewen, a researcher at the Alliance Institute of Biology.

Needless to say, the former's identity is also well-known among players due to his frequent appearances in newspapers and magazines and the fact that he often publishes tasks to players.

As for the latter, new players may find it unrecognizable, but veteran players who have entered the alpha version of the game will still be able to recognize it.

This individual is a resident of Vault 401 and an expert in telepathic interference devices and resonance field theory.

The so-called resonance field theory, that is, the morphological field theory.

As a result of the recent establishment of the theory of morphological fields at the Alliance Research Institute, he immediately became a contemporary leader as a researcher in the field in the pre-war era.

The appearance of the beard and hair is all white, and the appearance of the fairy wind bones does have a bit of a titan bearing.

But he remembered that when he first met him, this guy was not the personable old professor he is now, but was being pointed at a pill by a marauder.

Just when Ye Shi was nostalgic for the days when he first started the service and went down the dungeon with his good brothers, the old man had already grabbed him in front of him with an excited face, and came up to touch his hand.

That enthusiastic look startled Ye Shi, and he almost doubted the old man's orientation.

seemed to be aware of the abruptness of his movements, the old man smiled embarrassedly, and hurriedly sent his hand back to compensate.

"Sorry...... I'm a little excited, that ...... Do you really have psychic powers? ”

"Yes......" Yashi nodded stiffly.

Professor Sun Zewen rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment.

Come to think of it.

After all, it was a realm that had not been explored even in the Age of Prosperity, and for the first time humanity had come into contact with other dimensions beyond the three-dimensional world.

Ye Shi suddenly felt like a qigong master, with a little bit of a magic stick.

Although he wasn't really a god, he did communicate with Him.

Even if what he actually spoke to was just an echo of what he left in this universe.

"It's unbelievable...... If you are not lying, what happened to you will explain the realm beyond the dimensions that we have not been able to comprehend all along...... Ah, wait, I'm not saying you're playing tricks, I saw the news. ”

Looking at Professor Sun Zewen, who was hurriedly explaining, Ye Shi shrugged his shoulders slightly.

"It doesn't matter, in fact, even on the planet Gaia, there are staunch materialists who doubt the existence of the Tree of Insov, after all, that kind of thing is really not visible to everyone."

Dora said that the Qiu people did not have psykers, but Night Ten did not think so.

For primitive civilizations with extremely exclusive religious cultures, it is extremely difficult to accept psionics unless their culture itself contains psionic elements.

Perhaps there are psionic people in the Qiu tribe as well.

However, due to their worship of the Ancestors and the sky, as well as their hostility to the Tree of Insov, it is likely that their society spontaneously rejects these awakened anomaly.

After all, they are not yet technologically advanced enough to unlock the Psychic Interference Device, let alone use the power of pure technology to converse with Him and hear His mockery.

As a result, even if a person awakens his or her spiritual energy, he or she will weaken his or her mental perception ability due to his subjective rejection, and eventually purify himself.

Night Ten has experienced this situation firsthand.

When he was a "stupid materialist", he didn't feel the existence of psionic energy at all, at most his sixth sense was stronger than others.

And when he tried to make sense of what he had previously rejected, and became a "clever materialist" or "cunning pragmatist", psionic powers miraculously appeared.

This is also the most interesting part of psionic energy.

The existence or absence of this spiritual ability, as well as the strength of its existence, is itself determined by the spirit.

Professor Sun Zewen stared intently at Ye Shi, his hungry expression was like admiring a work of art, but he was afraid that the latter would be furious when he looked at it.

Soon, though, his gaze shifted to Dora's body, and the expression grew more and more fanatical.

"Humans on the planet Gaia...... Metropolitan psionics?! ”

Yashi shook his head and said.

"Not everyone, even the tribes in the forest, only a few can."

"It's incredible enough to just have a few people!" Professor Sun Zewen sighed with emotion, looked at him with fiery eyes and said, "Please be sure to take me with you next time you go to Nanmen Er!" ”

Looking at the fiery eyes, Ye Shi subtly took half a step back with a subtle expression, and said with a regretful expression.

"I probably won't go again."

Professor Sun Zewen looked at him stunned, and subconsciously blurted out.

"Why?!"

Ye Shi thought for a moment and said.

"Well, the ruins of that planet have been excavated, and the Tree of Insov has told us everything he knows about the Pioneers...... I don't really want to disturb the people who live on that planet, I've caused enough trouble for them. ”

After a pause, he continued.

"However, I would propose to the administrators to build an observatory there to passively observe their civilization without interfering, and perhaps you could consider working with me on this matter."

Professor Sun Zewen looked at him in astonishment, his eyes half puzzled, half surprised.

But in the end, he was relieved, and just nodded in a complicated mood.

"This is probably the best option......"

He wanted to say whether it would be more efficient to intervene directly, but he quickly thought of the People's Union.

It's actually good to have a sense of reverence for the universe.

As a remnant of the era of the People's Union, he is far more touched by the glory and fall of the past than all the younger generations here.

"Well, nothing to regret...... I think that even if we don't have to go back to the era of the People's Union to find the lessons of history, the lessons left to us by the past two centuries are profound enough. ”

Han Mingyue patted Professor Sun's shoulder with a hearty smile, then looked at the little girl named Jiang Xuezhou, and said in a relaxed tone.

"I also found you the most professional prosthetic doctor in the alliance - Mr. Ebers, the CEO of Boulder Military Industry. He'll take care of your prosthetic surgery and replace your biomimetic skin, which was designed by the Academy and the Kangmao Group—"

Before Jiang Xuezhou could speak, Ye Shi on the side became nervous first and interrupted Dr. Han Mingyue's words.

"Ibs?! Let that madman do the surgery? ”

Han Mingyue said with a smile.

"He's a little out of his mind, but his craft is probably the best on the planet...... Even people in the business say so. ”

There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just that Ye Shi still can't let go.

Jiang Xuezhou held Ye Shi's hand and whispered.

"Don't worry about me, I'm an expert in prosthetics myself, so I'll take care of my ......"

Seeing that Jiang Xuezhou said so, Ye Shi didn't say anything anymore.

Looking at the greasy little couple there, Han Mingyue said in a joking tone.

"Okay, okay, it's only a matter of a few days, and the operation will be done quickly...... Mentor's research ship is already waiting on the tarmac, so you might as well hurry up. ”

Jiang Xuezhou nodded and was about to leave, but Ye Shi, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment.

"Aren't you with me?"

Jiang Xuezhou glanced at him with some embarrassment.

"What stupid are you talking about, let me bear this picture...... Is it weird and weird? If you don't dislike me, I dislike it. Anyway, I'm not going to follow you anymore...... You can take Dora and the little koala around, I'll wait for you in Dawn. ”

When she was in heaven, she discussed with her mentor and went to Boulder City to be cured first.

As she said this, she added a warning as if she remembered something.

"And ...... Don't take advantage of someone's worship of the Ancestors to do strange things! That's immoral! ”

Dora tilted her head.

Maybe it was because Jiang Xuezhou's expression was too vague, and her spiritual energy didn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

However, although she didn't understand, the others on the side did.

Han Mingyue reacted the most, and laughed out loud, while Professor Sun Zewen coughed embarrassedly, pretending not to understand.

Although he is also a Vault resident, he has recently become a rising star in academia and a titan in the world of "psionics", so he still has a little idol baggage.

As for Night Ten, he was already choked by his own spit.

Weird stuff ok......

This crime is really unexcused, so let's wait for him to have the tools to commit the crime and then be wronged!

But then again, do you want to find a way to settle down after returning to Dawning City this time?

Just when Night Ten was seriously thinking about this question, Dora, who had not spoken, whispered with some embarrassment.

"Am I causing you trouble?"

"How so?" Han Mingyue walked up to her with a smile on her face, "Let me introduce myself, I am a researcher at the Institute of Social Sciences of the Alliance, and I am entrusted by the administrator of the Alliance to be the guide of your trip to Earth...... Then again, do you know what the Institute of Social Sciences is? ”

Dora blinked.

"Your eyes tell me it's the institution that studies us."

Han Mingyue had a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then said jokingly.

"It seems that the Ten Little Brothers of the Night are not joking, there is such a thing as 'psionic energy'. But don't mind, our research is not malicious, just a desire to deepen our understanding of each other on the premise of peace...... We want to get to know you. ”

Dora nodded slightly.

"I can feel it."

Han Mingyue's eyes were even more surprised, and the interest that appeared in her pupils was even stronger.

"Incredible...... I'm getting more and more curious about what happened on the planet Gaia. ”

A society where psionic beings are ubiquitous and the cost of trust between people is extremely low......

This is an interesting and stark contrast to her previous research projects, and may have given her unexpected inspiration.

Dora smiled shyly and said happily.

"We can talk on the road."

Just when everyone wanted to have a good conversation, a killer whale transport plane landed at the airport in Dawning City.

Escorted by a team of exoskeleton-clad soldiers, a black box was loaded onto a transport truck and driven to the warehouse of the Alliance's research institute.

At this moment, the chief scientist and administrator of the alliance are standing in this inconspicuous warehouse.

The black crate was removed from the car, and two guards in power armor stepped forward to open the crate, revealing the oddly shaped reactor device.

Looking at the rough and even sloppy mechanical structure and the metal dial, a strange expression appeared on Chu Guang's face.

“…… Is this what is called a perforator? ”

The so-called "pioneer" civilization was left in this world by the hands of younger generations.

To be honest, this thing looks like nothing more than a reactor-like rag, and the mottled rust makes one wonder if it can still work.

If it weren't for watching the whole thing on the official website, he couldn't even help but wonder if the kid at Night Ten was joking with himself.

The researchers present all whispered, exchanging surprises and suspicions in their eyes.

Obviously, Chu Guang was not the only one who felt that this thing was unreliable, even Yin Fang, who was standing on the side, had the same subtle expression on his face.

“…… Anyway, let's try it first. ”

As he said this, Yin Fang beckoned to the side, motioned for the researchers waiting on the side to step forward, and inserted a fuel tank of matching model into the cylindrical metal canister.

This fuel tank is a second-hand empty fuel tank recovered from the USS Orion missile cruiser.

This is also the advice of Night Ten.

According to him, a fuel tank that was "once full of fuel and has not been opened after all the fuel has been exhausted" can be charged by the perforator.

That sounds a bit mysterious.

And it doesn't make sense.

However, in line with the principle of controlling variables, Yin Fang still listened to that strange suggestion and operated completely step by step in the first experiment.

The researcher, who was ready for anything, glanced back at him, and immediately pressed the button after receiving the command to "start the experiment".

At the same time, an incredible scene occurred, a dazzling white light suddenly bloomed from the center of the reactor, and penetrated the solid tank in an instant, even making the latter transparent!

Faced with the sudden scene, Lu Bei almost subconsciously blocked in front of Chu Guang, and the X-16 next to him also vigilantly took half a step forward, staring nervously at the dazzling white light.

Thankfully, the terrifying energy didn't last long, and soon collapsed, eventually shrinking into a dot that was filled with fuel canisters stuck in the reactor.

As soon as everything calmed down, the researcher operating the equipment stepped forward, disconnected the power supply and unplugged the fuel canister plugged into the tank, and examined it.

It was at this moment that the most incredible scene happened-

After a series of tests by everyone, the fuel tank, which was originally exhausted of energy, was actually filled with helium three at this moment!

It's as if that empty fuel tank is a fake......

"This, this is incredible......"

Yin Fang's face was full of surprise, and his eyes were fixed on the fuel canister.

Chu Guang's reaction was relatively calm, but after a while, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's been loaded by this kid."
