Chapter 19: The Expedition to Pluto
In the depths of the universe, in the outer orbit of the Earth.
With a burst of colorful bright light, the figures of Galvin and Tiga instantly appeared in the infinite deep space.
Although compared to the high-speed movement of imaginary space, the vacuum environment of the universe is not too uncomfortable.
But Diga, who flew out of the earth for the first time, couldn't help but look back at the blue planet behind him.
Then, Tiga found that there was a huge circular space station building directly behind the two of them.
[What's that?] 】
As the winning team with the highest level of confidentiality within TPC.
Tiga was pretty sure that the huge ring behind them wasn't inside all known Earth space stations.
Overly surprised, Tiga didn't even notice that there was no trace of Starfleet's presence in this vast deep space.
[A simplified version of the Dyson sphere, officially known as the 'Solar Space Power Station'.] 】
Also staring at the huge annular space station, Galvin's performance was much calmer.
Because this annular space station was built and launched by Galvin, no one knew about the whole process, let alone registered within the TPC.
Because this space station is hidden in the imaginary space on weekdays.
Only when Tomoko activates it, will it actively appear above the Earth's outer orbit.
【Solar space power station?】 】
Some of them muttered the names of the huge circular buildings, and Tiga's expression became even more surprised.
[That's right, it's a secret project of the Galvin Corporation, and we'll have to rely on its vast energy for the next move.] 】
[After all, although the Max power system is very easy to use......]
[However, cross-planetary level teleportation across time and space still requires a huge amount of electricity to be activated in advance.] 】
A solar space power station, as the name suggests, is a solar power station built specifically in the outer orbit of the earth.
Rather than collecting solar energy on the ground, this solar space power plant not only does not need to look at the weather, but also collects more than 10 times more solar energy than the surface.
Theoretically, as long as such a circle of solar panels is built in the outer orbit of the earth, the energy collected in a year is the sum of the earth's oil energy.
[This is a new project that you intend to use to replace the 'new energy power plant'? 】
After following Lu Xuan to take so many university courses, Di Jia naturally knows what this solar space power station means.
Only one ion microwave emitter needs to be installed inside this space station.
The collected solar energy is then converted into the surface of the earth for electricity transmission, which is theoretically "infinite energy".
Compared with the atomic energy, and even the new energy that TPC is currently vigorously promoting, this thing has great potential and advantages.
Perhaps only a truly complete Max power system can surpass solar space power stations in terms of energy reserves.
[Let's just say that! 】
Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Galvin replied, placing his arm on Tiga's shoulder again.
[Ready, the next step is the real chrono teleportation!] 】
[Tomoko, help me lock the coordinates of the Thunderchulan Star Fleet!] 】
Instinctively clenched his fists, and when Diga realized that something was wrong, Tomoko's voice was already echoing in the minds of the two.
[The target has been locked, the edge of the solar system, the outermost part of Pluto......]
【Cosmic Axis XXX.XXX.XXX......】
At this moment, Diga, who had once again turned into a particle of light and dissipated, only had one last terrible thought in his mind.
Pluto?! Isn't that almost out of the solar system! 】
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
The edge of the solar system, the outermost part of Pluto.
"Haven't we found out who hacked into our systems?"
On the main ship of the massive Starfleet, a serious Rechulan star didn't know how many times he repeated the rhetorical question.
To this, the reply of its subordinates remained the same as at the beginning.
"For the time being, I haven't found out, I only know that she is a microscopic-level artificial intelligence."
"Extrapolating backwards based on existing technology, such an existence is beyond the cognition of our civilization."
Artificial intelligence is not a rare thing in cosmic civilizations, and even some civilizations themselves are built by artificial intelligence.
But in the microcosm of the world, where the concept of normal matter has almost been lost, the emergence of such an artificial intelligence with powerful intelligence and incredible abilities is no different from mythology.
This is fundamentally against the rules of physics that the Rechulans have mastered.
"What about the space-time jump? Can you figure out how she blocked us from moving faster-than-light? ”
For this question, the subordinates of the Thunder Chulan Star did not answer immediately, but could only bow their heads in fear.
"Say, I'm not going to punish you for that."
Glancing at his subordinates, the majestic Raychulan said.
In the hierarchical civilization of Richuran, the obedience of subordinates to superiors is absolute and unconditional.
Even if it is just a pirate fleet that roams the universe and specializes in plundering the wisdom of other civilizations, this discipline is engraved in the bones.
It is no exaggeration to say that the majestic Rechulan is the supreme master of this fleet, and has the power to kill and kill his fellow clansmen.
"It's a ...... of destruction at the micro level"
At this moment, another Raculan spoke up in time to explain.
"That AI interfered with the curvature of space-time at the microscopic level, causing our faster-than-light engine to be unable to accurately locate the coordinates."
"Forcibly activating the space-time transition will only cause the starship to fall apart and fall apart."
To be honest, even the well-informed Raculan people have encountered this kind of existence that can directly interfere with the curvature of space-time for the first time.
It is no exaggeration to say that Tomoko is a true "quantum god" at the micro level.
All uncontrollable factors at the micro level will lead to the worst outcome because of the existence of this "quantum god".
"In other words, all scientific and technological products involving the micro level may be interfered with by this artificial intelligence and get out of control?"
instantly understood the subtext of the other party's words, and the majestic Lei Chulan star knew why the subordinate at the beginning didn't dare to speak.
It's like a human being who has mastered advanced firearms technology, but because they are afraid that the firearms will go off, they can only use them as burning sticks.
This kind of method of forcibly reducing the dimensionality of the opponent's technology, if it is not really encountered, who will believe it?
"Actually...... And that's not even the most serious problem. ”
"That AI can only block our technology, and it can't pose a real lethal threat to us."
"What's really deadly is that something is coming in the direction of our fleet through an unknown means of space-time jumping!"
