Chapter 180: Guarding the Ball
After confirming the presence of a guard metal ball with detection function around the Wide Area Silence,
Yang Meng immediately asked Xiao Yin to operate the miniature detector and hide,
In this large complex polypore,
At most, there are large and small holes,
So for miniature detectors, hiding is not a difficult thing,
It's just that this time the guard ball lingered back in the entire space for a long time.
It seems that because of the last intrusive detector and this time the miniature detector,
Let these guard balls create some suspicion.
The investigation lasted for more than an hour, and then the guard balls stopped.
Yang Meng originally ended the investigation here,
But the next moment was originally calm in the spacecraft parking space.
Fast-flowing bubbles appeared.
Seeing these swirling structures made up of bubbles,
Yang Meng suddenly understood that these clones wanted to wash this space ruler again,
But alas,
Whether it's a previous invasive detector or a miniature detector that has just been launched,
They are all anchored, so they can hide in the walls of the holes, and the rapid water cannot wash them out.
Although the effect of washout on the detector is minimal,
But the metal ball where 617 was located was almost sucked in because of the fluctuation of the water flow.
However, under Xiao Yin's emergency control, he was still not exposed.
And after experiencing the current of water, the space where the Wide Area Silence was located was completely quiet.
After another hour of waiting,
Seeing these guard balls, there was no reaction at all,
Yang Meng then continued to carry out the next plan,
He planned to use the No. 617 metal ball, pretending to be out of power, and reach the bottom of the spacecraft to recharge.
But before entering,
He also has one more crucial question to confirm:
"Xiao Yin, can you be sure of the detection method of these guard balls?"
"Analyzing!"
"No sonar signal detected!"
"No radar electromagnetic signal found!"
"After analysis, it may be these guarding metal balls, and they may be used to determine the space environment through optical detection!"
"It's optics!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's analysis and looking at the image sent back by the detector just now, Yang Meng felt a little strange,
In general,
The most suitable means of detection in the ocean is sonar,
The second is radar, but because electromagnetic waves are very attenuated in water, radar is rarely used in the marine environment.
And the most secondary method is optics.
Due to the scattering and refraction of the water, the distance that can be seen in the water is very limited.
If it's a shallow sea, it's fine, but if it's in the deep sea, no searchlight is almost the same as being blind.
And judging from the data transmitted back by the previous miniature detector,
The spaceship is parked in a large space, and the water is exceptionally clear.
In addition, this space is decorated with various lamps, which are very bright, making the environment here like the environment of the earth during the day.
From these environments, it can be seen that the results analyzed by Xiao Yin are indeed good.
It is likely that these clones are looking directly with their "eyes".
"But why aren't sonar detection techniques available to these clones?"
"This technique is not very difficult, and it is not difficult for these clones to master!"
"Could it be that these clones are afraid of using sonar to make a noise?"
Sonar is simply a shouting in the sea,
Then, through the echo, the surrounding environment is determined.
However, Yang Meng knows that the sound emitted by the sonar has exceeded the frequency range of the sound that can be heard by the human ear, and it will not
Noisy to the human race,
So after thinking about it for a while, I found that I couldn't figure out why the clones didn't use sonar, so I didn't bother with this problem.
Instead, let Xiao Yin look for where are the eyes of those guard balls?
Because of the movement pattern of the metal ball,
It is difficult to exist on the body of a metal sphere, and it is a direct observation port.
When the metal sphere where 617 was detected before, a monitoring system that could be used normally was found.
Therefore, Yang Meng believes that there is also some kind of monitoring system in the space where the spacecraft is parked.
But what made Yang Meng feel helpless was that
After analyzing the frame rate of the detected footage, the observation window on the guard ball and the detection camera in space were not found.
Even the weak electromagnetic pulse signal of the monitoring system was not detected,
In this case,
made Yang Meng have the idea of sending a probe inside again,
can think of the grass and startled the snake,
Those guard balls also found anomalies,
If a probe is being sent in, it will inevitably have some bad ripple effects.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Meng still decided to let the metal ball mix in.
"It's a bit risky, but let's go with the plan!"
Thinking of this, Yang Meng asked Xiao Yin:
"Xiao Yin's analysis of the laws of motion of other metal balls has yielded results?"
"It's being sorted out, please ...... later."
Soon, an extremely complex and regular circuit diagram appeared in front of Yang Meng's eyes.
Looking at the image coming in from the optic nerve,
Yang Meng breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then felt fortunate in his heart,
Thanks to artificial intelligence like Xiao Yin and the assistance of spaceship supercomputing, we can figure out the laws of motion of these metal balls.
With the human brain, it is difficult to analyze so much data in a short period of time.
And it is not easy to derive the law of motion of the metal ball.
As early as after Yang Meng carried out the first detection of compound polypore,
It has been using the intrusive probe hidden in the hole in the upper part of the spacecraft to observe.
After several days of observation by the intrusion detector,
In the combination, Yang Meng successfully manipulated a metal ball, so that Xiao Yin obtained the motion model of the metal ball.
Under the combination of many parties, there is the output of this route law map.
At this time, Xiao Yin also determined a suitable time node for Yang Meng according to the calculated law:
"It is expected that in 12 minutes and 35 seconds, you will be able to follow the two metal balls into this space!"
"And according to the plan, in order to successfully complete the intrusion work,
The nuclear power battery pack will begin to lose power,
and discharged the battery pack that originally existed in the 617 metal ball,
Keep it on low battery!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's voice, Yang Meng replied:
"Got it!"
and then looked at another split screen,
At this time, the 617 clones on the screen still remained in a state of kneeling and praying.
A pious look,
Clone 617 had no idea what was going on outside, and what might happen next.
Yang Meng sighed secretly in his heart:
"If the other metal balls don't communicate with each other, there's a good chance that the 617 metal balls will be able to blend in!"
"But if there is a means of communication between the metal spheres,
And those guard balls, if they can recognize every metal orb, then it's troublesome!"
"What would happen if she was discovered by those clones?"
Thinking of this, he had some worries in his heart.
I don't know why, looking at the teenage clone on the screen,
He remembered that he was still there
While training at the Martian base,
Several of his teammates had some arguments about the handling of the gray force clones.
"Do clones count as people?"
"These clones are just copies of independent living beings, or mixed copies of several genes, and they shouldn't have independent human rights!"
"But aren't humans also mixed copies of their parents' genes? Humans and clones are essentially identical."
"However, natural human beings can die naturally, but non-stem cell clones have a very short lifespan.
It's not fair to clones,"
"It's just a technical flaw, and it should be corrected......
"They deserve human rights!" At this time, a female astronaut stood up and said.
And when Yang Meng remembered the female astronaut's speech,
Suddenly remembered her attitude towards clones, the pioneer astronauts who traveled to the Ross 128 system were the most benevolent beings to clones among all of them.
"But according to her thoughts, how did the clones here develop into such a deformed social form?"
Yang Meng still wants to continue to remember,
But at this time, Xiao Yin's voice interrupted his memories:
"It's 10 minutes until the scheduled time!"
"The electrical pulse self-destruct lock has been activated!"
"Please make sure the nuclear battery molten medium state lock!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's voice broadcast,
Yang Meng shook his head lightly and expelled some thoughts from his mind,
Then he looked at the screen that was asking him for instructions from the right person,
After Yang Meng confirmed the instructions according to the memory, he said secretly:
"I didn't expect the self-destruct technique to be used at this time!"
The reason why he was worried about the safety of the 617 clones just now was because he wanted to activate the self-destruction protection procedure.
When mankind was developing a pioneer space exploration program,
I once thought about a question,
If you encounter an alien civilization that is very brutal and aggressive, it will definitely become a hostile force,
And this civilization captured the human spaceship,
And what about the pioneer astronauts?
Although this is not very likely,
But for the sake of insurance and to deal with it, when astronauts leave the earth, there is no peace in the human race.
16 astronauts have self-destruction technology to prevent human information from leaking to extraterrestrial civilizations.
Until now, however, not a single pioneer astronaut has ever been required to use this technique.
But in the face of the clones on the planet Ross 128, Yang Meng still used such technology,
The relationship between clones and normal humans is not so friendly.
And the cloning culture of this planet is even more deformed,
And has the ability to launch things into space,
Although Yang Meng still can't figure out how these clones sent the pebble into space,
But in order for him to avoid the leakage of his information and technology as much as possible, he still has to make some preparations.
"If those guard orbs do notice an anomaly and get into the metal orb, they won't have to use the self-destruct program!"
Yang Meng is just preparing,
His last hope was that the anomaly of the No. 617 metal ball would not be discovered.
……
Ten minutes is just 600 seconds, and it passes quickly.
At this time, two metal balls entered the space where the spaceship was located from different holes one after another.
And just when these two metal balls just entered,
Another metal sphere entered the space,
And the entry of this metal ball did not attract the attention of the guard ball that stopped around the spaceship,
As the metal ball approached the spaceship little by little,
At this time, the spaceship was huge and large
This metal sphere forms a huge difference in volume.
It's like an egg facing a lying human,
And the direction in which the metal ball moves,
It is the belly of a man lying horizontally,
There were several very thick, twisted black lines extending from the ship,
These lines swayed slowly with the disturbance of the metal ball.
"It's here!"
"I didn't even find it!"
The No. 617 metal ball successfully reached the belly of the spaceship.
Seeing that the guard balls around him didn't seem to find anything abnormal, Yang Meng's heart was slightly relieved.
"Xiao Yin, act according to the plan!"
"Understood!"
As the metal ball stops moving,
From the inner compartment of the metal ball, a pipe protrudes and connects to the outer wall of the metal ball.
And then under the control of Xiao Yin,
The pressure was leveled inside the pipeline, and the outer hatch was opened, and a pipe was extended.
Then, the metal ball slowly moved a few more times,
As if a fighter jet was refueling in the air, the metal ball would use the extended pipe to hit the black pipeline on the spacecraft.
"Power input detected!"
"Micro Robot Unleashing ......"
"Attempting to intrude into the power grid......
"Attention! The Guardian Ball is abnormal!"
……
"Oh no, the guard ball is moving!"
Hearing Xiao Yin's voice, Yang Meng immediately switched the picture, and found that the guard balls around the spaceship were coming in the direction of the ship's belly.
Seeing this situation,
He also understood that the anomaly on the metal ball 617 was most likely discovered by the clones on the guard ball.
"Xiao Yin, what's wrong?"
"The power grid intrusion fails, and the power system has filter blocking protection!"
"What about microrobots?"
"Successfully sent!"
Seeing that the microrobot had been sent, Yang Meng continued to give instructions:
"Prepare to carry out the escape plan!"
"Understood!"
However, Xiao Yin's next voice made Yang Meng's face change slightly:
"Warning! The power system is out of control!"
"After testing, the battery system has become powerless!"
"How could the battery system have a problem at this time?"
Yang Meng only noticed at this time that the other split screen had become very dim, and only some emergency lights were still on.
At this time, he didn't have time to think too much about what caused the battery to be damaged.
At the moment, Xiao Yin was asked to reconnect the nuclear power battery pack sent into the metal ball to the power system.
And with the restoration of power supply,
The power system of the metal ball has also returned to normal,
At this point, the guard balls were already very close to the metal balls
And the charging line is still slowly retracting,
Seeing that I am about to be touched by the guard ball,
He also didn't care about the damage to the No. 617 metal ball.
Let Xiao Yin restart the metal ball,
With a muffled sound,
The guard balls that surrounded them were knocked open a gap,
And take advantage of the gap that don't bumble open,
The No. 617 metal ball rolled out and quickly drilled into a hole.
The guard balls around the spaceship, faced with this situation, paused for a short time, and then instantly reacted to something, rolling in the direction of the departure of the No. 617 metal ball.
