Chapter 178: Invasion of the Complex

When the metal ball begins to move,

The detector that opened the metal ball before was not idle,

After this can opening detector is detached from the metal sphere,

To the outside of the polypore, acts as the eye of the entire polypore.

"Xiao Yin, how far is this from the compound polypore that parked the spaceship?"

"54 km!"

"That's not too far!"

Hearing such a distance, Yang Meng groaned,

and then looked at another split screen,

Although the metal sphere has already begun to move,

But the inside of the metal ball is very stable.

Seeing this situation,

In recalling the metal sphere structure that I saw before,

Yang Meng had to sigh with emotion,

The structure of the whole metal ball motion structure is exquisite,

Although the movement of the metal ball does not have a huge impact on the internal structure of the ball,

But in the process of moving,

The noise generated is still through the metal medium, reverberating throughout the metal sphere.

This distinct grinding sound,

Yang Meng heard it clearly through the sound receiving device,

And the 617 clones inside the metal sphere were not only frightened when they heard such noise,

Instead, he knelt on the ground with an excited face, folded his hands, and performed some kind of ritual.

Yang Meng, who has learned some of these cloned cultures,

Seeing 617 behaving like this, he just shook his head lightly and didn't say anything more.

Under Xiao Yin's control,

The metal ball quickly follows the shortest path to the point where it can affect the filtration.

It's a thicker channel,

It can be clearly seen through the detection device left on the outside by the detector,

There are noticeable bubbles in the passage, which rush through the passage at a rapid speed.

"Xiao Yin, the water flow here looks very big,

Can a metal ball block it without being washed out? ”

"According to the analysis of the data model, it can withstand the washout!"

Hearing Xiao Yin's affirmative answer,

Yang Meng didn't hesitate for long, and let the metal ball block this passage,

Because polypores exhibit soft-bore properties,

When a metal ball is stuffed into it,

Originally, the fixed-direction water flow generated by the fungus filtration had to enter through other holes.

And such a strong flow of water into other holes,

Immediately interfered with the filtration system of the entire polyporous bacteria,

The polypore, which had been moving away from the spacecraft's target point, began to change direction diagonally.

As the movement direction of polypore bacteria changes,

The metal sphere inside the polypore continues to move towards the next target.

……

The practice of adjusting the direction by constantly changing the filter flow.

After a tight day,

The polypores where the metal spheres are located make a semicircular path.

Towards the polypore complex where the ship is parked.

Seeing that the direction of the polypore changes smoothly,

Yang Meng, who had been busy all day, could only go to rest because of physical fatigue.

And in the equipment room of the spaceship,

There is only a small light left, flickering at the screen,

And in the screen,

The girl-like clone was leaning against the wall outside the control room, and his spirit was low, as if he was asleep at any time.

……

Seven hours later,

Yang Meng woke up from his sleep,

As is customary, it's a new day,

Although in space the stars never fall,

On the planet Ross 128b, one day is as long as half a year,

But human circadian clock habits are still a difficult thing to change.

And after waking up Yang Meng,

When performing daily behaviors such as tidying up, washing, eating, etc

is also with Xiao Yin in the body, confirming what happened when he was asleep,

"There are still 4 kilometers to the target point!"

"It's moving slowly!"

"Expected to collide with the target point in 3 hours!"

……

At this time, a whole page of data appeared in front of Yang Meng's eyes, and he said secretly:

"Judging from the current situation, the success rate of the metal ball hitting the complex is still very large!"

"Let's hope the next impact goes well!"

Thinking of this, he turned off the screen,

After tidying up a bit, they floated towards the equipment bay.

Yang Meng came to the screen again,

found that Xiaoguang was still there looking at the screen:

Seeing this energy body structure that does not need to sleep at all,

Yang Meng had to admit in his heart that in terms of metabolism, the limit of energy bodies is much smaller than that of life bodies.

"Xiaoguang, you've been watching here, what did you find?"

Hearing Yang Meng's voice, Xiaoguang flashed twice and responded:

"Although they are similar in shape, your people seem to be very different from you in terms of their daily behavior!"

"Are you really from the same planet?"

"Essentially, we do come from one planet!" Yang Meng nodded and responded:

"But there are already differences between living individuals, isn't there a big difference between the individuals of Xiaoguang and the Rutan Star civilization?"

"Difference!" Xiaoguang flickered and responded:

"The differences within us have almost been worn out in the dispute between the mechanical and the living forms!"

Xiaoguang once again talked about a piece of history that they once existed,

However, Yang Meng, who is already familiar with the historical changes of the Rutan Star people,

didn't have an in-depth communication with Xiaoguang on this issue,

He came in front of the screen,

617 clones were seen lying on the ground and falling into a deep sleep.

"What did she do during this time!"

Yang Meng quickly reversed the surveillance video,

Observed some of the clones' behavior while he slept.

The act of cloning a human being is very simple,

Sleeping, praying, getting food from the rover, praying again,

During this period, they also went to the living area of the metal sphere and carried out some metabolic behaviors.

In short, the behavior pattern of the 617 clone is extremely simple,

It is precisely because of this simple behavior that he is in stark contrast to him as a pioneer navigator.

This is why Xiaoguang has such doubts.

"Her short life should have been dedicated to that stone!"

Yang Meng shook his head lightly, and switched the screen on the screen to a real-time image again.

In the surveillance screen,

The clones of 617 are lying there quietly,

The chest is rising and falling slightly,

With such a beautiful and girlish face, when the gray forces are raging, it can also be regarded as a boutique clone.

But because she is genderless, her value is limited to that.

Yang Meng glanced at the sleeping clone and didn't wake it up,

Instead, he continued to look at the various values of the metal ball.

……

Time passes slowly,

Three hours passed quickly,

At this time, the metal ball has moved to a hole at the front end of the polypore

Prepare for the next impact,

And at a distance of 300 meters in front of the polypore is the complex where the spacecraft is parked.

But even at such a close distance,

Still can't see the target on the other side clearly,

Only a terrifying black shadow could be faintly seen, lying in front of it.

"Xiao Yin determines the current hydrological environment!"

"Yes"

"The current depth of the sea is 70 meters!"

"At the current depth, visibility is 21 meters!"

"The sea temperature is 27 degrees Celsius!"

"The water pressure is 1.2 times the average depth of the same ocean depth on Earth!"

"Checking the seawater density gradient!"

"The direction of the ocean current is stable!"

"The scheduled route is smooth!"

"The tail thruster began to accelerate,

Expect to hit the target spot in 71 seconds! ”

Xiao Yin reported all kinds of data to Yang Meng,

And he looked at the dark shadow in front of him,

Waiting for the metal ball to crash into the large polypore in front of it.

As the dark shadow ahead becomes clearer and clearer,

The small light on the side flickered, revealing a puzzled emotion:

"You look like you're going to let this thing crash into it!"

"That's right!" Yang Meng nodded.

"But doesn't that attract the attention of what exists inside?"

Hearing the question of the little light,

Yang Meng also sighed helplessly,

He also wanted to drive the metal sphere directly into the large compound polypore where the target point is located.

But alas,

The metal sphere does not have a water intake and drainage system like a submarine to control buoyancy.

This also results in metal balls,

After leaving the polypore, it is not possible to move freely like a submarine,

As if by gravity,

Once the metal sphere is close to the periphery of the polypore,

It is quite possible to stay out and fall into the deep sea,

In this case, the metal sphere can only rely on the action of polypore.

And in the initial scenario,

Yang Meng intends to use the contact between polypore bacteria and polypore bacteria to pass the metal ball.

But there are big problems with such a plan.

Because polypores are soft structures,

Even if one hole is aligned with the hole of another polypore.

When a very massive metal ball moves to the link,

It is very likely that due to gravity, it will be stuck or leaked by the gap in the soft structure.

And even if you can build a stable link channel,

But the marine environment on planet b is extremely complex,

The currents in the sea are extremely volatile, and the two polypore bacteria cannot stay together for a long time.

Therefore, after taking into account various environmental factors,

Yang Meng and Xiao Yin discussed a more risky plan,

That is, when the polypore bacteria hit the target point, the inertial force generated by the instantaneous collision,

Shoot a metal ball into the hole at the target point at a certain speed,

As for the discovery of the existence of the complex that Xiaoguang is worried about,

After Yang Meng and Xiao Yin analyzed, they could determine that the chance of being found may not be great.

First of all, polypores are soft structures, and the energy generated by the impact is absorbed.

Unlike between cars, the collision of such solid objects can produce a huge amount of movement.

Secondly, the polypore where the pioneer astronaut spacecraft is located is an extremely large compound polypore.

The polypores in which the metal spheres are located are compared to sesame seeds and oranges.

The difference in body size makes the range of motion caused by the impact also smaller.

At last

The metallic spheres in the complex have a limited range of motion and generally do not approach the edge of the polypore.

This also makes the metal sphere he controls,

In the process of injection,

Even if the other metal balls find out that something is wrong, when they arrive,

He's already mixed in.

In short, after comprehensive consideration, he adopted this riskier approach.

……

Yang Meng briefly told Xiaoguang some of these considerations,

And after Xiaoguang listened to Yang Meng's explanation,

After flickering a few times and asking a few questions, he looked at the screen, waiting for the next shot of the metal ball.

Compared to the small light, you can wait for the result of the shot there without any facts

Yang Meng also had to confirm with the small light in his body the various preparations before the impact.

……

Although polypores don't move fast,

The inertial force generated by the impact is also not large,

But just like a slow-moving bus, a sudden brake will also provoke a scolding from the passengers in the car.

At this time, there were also passengers in the metal sphere.

"That's right! How's the preparation for 617 there? ”

"And the corpses, and the movable objects inside the metal sphere, have they all been disposed of!"

"According to the plan, it has been dealt with!"

Hearing Xiao Yin's reply,

Yang Meng glanced at another split screen,

Clone 617 at this time,

Being shackled to a seat

But this girl clone seems to be a little uncomfortable with the constraints on his body,

The body twisted from time to time.

Seeing this, Yang Meng asked out loud:

"What's wrong, isn't it feeling well?"

In the metal sphere,

617, hearing the voice, opened his pink eyes and looked at the rover, which was also fixed to the side.

"No, it's just that I can't do my daily prayer lessons, I ......"

"I want to be able to untie my body, I can't do my daily schoolwork, I'm being questioned in my heart!"

After saying this,

When she looked at the rover, her pink eyes were full of anticipation.

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon!"

"But God, I can't abandon my duty."

"Oracle!"

……

The teenage clone called out twice,

However, there was no response from the rover on the other side.

Time passes little by little,

The girl clone, some anxious looks appeared on her delicate face,

Unable to carry out her daily prayers, she was tormented:

"How could I have made such a mistake!"

She looked at the bindings on her body and realized that she couldn't untie anything on her body at all, so she had no choice but to give up.

Just when the girl clone was tormented,

The surrounding environment shook violently,

Followed by

The originally stable cabin environment,

As if encountering a great storm,

The whole passage became tilted, and a large amount of debris fell from one side to the other direction.

This sudden change made Clone 617's pink eyes widen,

And the pull caused by the restraints on her body made her even more uncomfortable.

But it's also a restraint device,

So that she was not overturned like those clutter.

Thankfully, the unexpected sight didn't last long, and the clone's discomfort quickly subsided as the interior returned to its normal posture.

At this time, inside the metal sphere, only the huge roar around it remained.

This indicates that the metal sphere is moving rapidly.

……

"The crash was successful!"

On the spaceship, Yang Meng watched the metal ball successfully shoot into the large compound polypore fungus, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

And at this time, Xiao Yin also reported to him the situation of this impact shot:

"After inspection, the metal ball was slightly damaged, which did not affect the normal operation!"

Seeing that the metal ball did not show major damage, Yang Meng was not surprised,

After all, the speed at the time of impact was not very fast, and at this time he was more concerned about another thing:

"How's that clone going?"
