Chapter 4 Excavation
The cooperation of two level 3 civilizations means that the consumption of energy is becoming more and more huge, and every time they come to a star system, they will extinguish a star, like locusts transiting. It is true that there are hundreds of billions of stars in the entire galaxy. However, under the squandering of these two Level 3 civilizations, the stars were like dust, and they did fall like dust.
Their civilian voyages have reached the speed of light. But for the Milky Way, which is 100,000 light-years away, it is still too far away to complete the delivery of goods or the supply of war. So they collected some fragments of the four-dimensional space, used a lot of energy to keep the four-dimensional space in the starry sky, and then used it as a gate to the starry sky to cross the long space and time.
Not only that, in order to prevent the destruction of the stargate in the war era, the two civilizations spent thousands of years researching the curvature navigation technology, which accelerated in a short period of time, and the limit could reach 2148 times the speed of light. But it is also the effectiveness of the rapid march in times of war, or as a means of conveying a significant message.
The research was successful, and the two civilizations prospered.
However, their galaxy began to dim after such a long period of reproduction and communication. Scientists from both civilizations have suggested that cooperation between the two can indeed make their cultures more prosperous.
But peace is poison for two large, devouring races. The level of science and technology will gradually stagnate because the time of a scientific research is often hundreds or thousands of years, and the two races do not have the short lifespan of conventional races.
In addition, the energy required to maintain an empire as large as the galaxy is simply too much. Although they have a starry sky gate and can go to different river systems to live, they will still wander in the level 3 civilization in this cycle. In the end, we can only wait until time passes, and both races lose their vitality and finally perish.
So, both races decided that they intended to promote the evolution of civilization by means of war. It is also to solve the problem of resources that are unique. Cooperation brings beauty, but it also brings laziness. War brings suffering, but it can also bring about evolution and thinking in the midst of despair.
And now the earth where Bing Shijue is located is facing the war period between the Luo clan and the mechanical clan, and it is also a small corner close to the battlefield.
"So in combination with these, the idea of these starry sky factions is actually correct, and they can only flee in the face of this civilization." Bing Shijue sighed, his body shook, and the 960 acupuncture points in his body lit up with white points of light, and his speed of absorbing external energy increased again, and his divine thoughts were not very far away from controlling one-ninth of this four-dimensional space.
"Considering the previous experience with spaceships, let's let those little robots prepare some hedrons first." Bing Shijue turned his attention to the blue ocean in front of him, easily found the large green and dark brown spaceship, and controlled those small robots to quickly absorb the energy in the air, condensing it into spars, and in just a few minutes, he saw that the green liquid began to shrink, and the spaceship also had white spars like gravel began to condense.
"When the time comes, open the opening inside the ship, so that you don't cause unrest." Once Bing Shijue was ready, he began to direct those energies to those empty acupuncture points. This is not an easy task, because there was no order for his energy absorption before, so it is often the case that the first few acupuncture points and meridians are full of energy, while the innermost acupuncture points are still empty.
This makes him have to first extract the energy, and then turn it into a thin silk thread, and start to probe those closed meridians, and after opening them, those acupuncture points located in the inner core of the body will slowly fill. That's when he can absorb a small part of what would have been wasted.
"It's also a shame that I have an extra dimension to absorb in the four-dimensional space debris." While Bing Shijue sighed, he didn't think about why he could remain the same in the unfolding world for a while, for a liberal arts student, this purely theoretical world suddenly appeared in front of him, and he could only shout, "Strange and strange!" After that, he continued to cultivate in peace.
"And that feeling of uneasiness seems to have become stronger and stronger as my cultivation has improved." When Bing Shijue subconsciously glanced at the earth, the sense of coldness and uneasiness would become stronger, and once he looked at other places, it was much darker, "Soon, there are still the last 120 acupuncture points." ”
Exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, Bing Shijue found with some sadness and joy that he could sleep in the open in the true sense of the word, and not eat grains, and the free energy in the air directly became a part of his life after coming to his body.
"I really don't know what it will be like to return to Earth...... "Bing Shijue thought bitterly, and everyone in Yanjiang City came to the display screen, carefully watching the drill slowly retreat under the tractor, being put into the tunnel on the side, and countless small spider robots were rapidly climbing down the wall, some serving as lights, some as cable connections, and some as digging.
"Director Zheng, all spider robots have completed their self-inspection, and there is no problem." Xia Xiaoyan picked up the switch in the control room and made sure that all the cables were connected, "All 33 spider robots are online." ”
"Excuse me, you're the best controller we've got here." Zheng Kai looked at Xia Xiaoyan sitting in the translucent spherical operation cabin, and began to get used to his own speaking style, "If the excavation goes smoothly and can analyze what it is, it will be the best." However, if the object is perceived to be unstable or dangerous, evacuate immediately. ”
"Director Zheng, we are 3 kilometers underground, and this thing is 17 kilometers underground, how can such a long distance cause damage to me?" Xia Xiaoyan's gaze swept over the many display screens, quickly arranged the location of the spider, and used echoes to determine the location of the long strip-shaped object.
"Not necessarily, there are definitely two kinds of alien life that have landed on Earth at present, one is a slime creature, whose body can be turned into a building, turned into a weapon, and it is amorphous, and it can also attach to the DNA of other creatures." A woman in a white coat standing next to Zheng Kai said, and such words made Zheng Kai have no choice but to turn his head and look at the name tag on her chest. He didn't expect Luo Yiran to recruit a bunch of research institutes and operators for him so quickly, and he looked good at his resume.
Shen Zixuan...... Are you worried that something below might be transmitted through an electronic signal? Zheng Kai asked, he used to study more about the impact of picnic gas on the human body, and now the picnic area gas is becoming harmless, so many of his previous data need to be retested. This change has also brought other majors that once had little room to play to the underground research institute.
"There have been no earthquakes in the history of the riverside city, and the strata have not changed before we started excavating, so according to common sense, the rocks below are older, and the topmost ones are newer." Shen Zixuan looked at the information in front of him and said fluently, "I have asked the research department to analyze the rocks found by the excavation department. Basically, it can be concluded that the rock formations here existed between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago. ”
"At the same time, humans were in the Neolithic Age, and it was theoretically possible to build such an instrument. But this creates a contradiction. Shen Zixuan flipped through the pages of the information, "First of all, according to the report provided by Huang Jia and Wang Yuan, their drilling rig stopped drilling this kind of stick after it was drilled, which means that the hardness and strength of this kind of stick are far beyond our high-speed rotating drilling rig. ”
"But in the new era, people can only use the most basic beating and grinding tools, and they can't process things with such hardness and strength like this." Shen Zixuan continued, "And according to the results of drilling teams in other cities, at least in the public information, there is no relevant content. ”
"And based on the fact that two civilizations have landed on our earth, combined with the presence of signal interference in the proximity of spider robots, I speculate that this may be a remnant of the last batch of alien civilizations."
"But I remember that strong magnetic objects can also achieve such an effect, right?" Xia Xiaoyan, who was in the operation cabin, spoke.
"It is also possible that strong magnetic objects are also in line with the situation that the spider robot will be disturbed if it is close to it, and it will be safe if it is far away, but what kind of substance is it, Xia Xiaoyan is still needed, you go and investigate." Zheng Kai joined the conversation between the two, "And Shen Zixuan's worries do exist, if it's just a strong magnet, or some kind of useless residue, then of course it's best, but if it's really some kind of strange life, then you have to be careful." ”
"So Xia Xiaoyan, let's start investigating first. And Shen Zixuan, you are waiting for the data to be reported, and it will be uploaded directly to the research department after it comes out. Zheng Kai said this sentence with some headaches, and then watched Xia Xiaoyan project all the contents of the display screen to the command headquarters, and then they could see that 11 spiders became cameras, as well as transmitting and receiving devices for sonar.
The remaining 22 spiderbots split into two teams, one of which was tasked with opening up the surrounding stone walls for better placement of cables and filling the bubbles for the explosion. The other team grabbed a small digging tool with pliers in their hands and began to test the black stick-like object in the camera.
The distance of about ten kilometers underground made the operation a little delayed, and Zheng Kai also took this opportunity to make Luo Yiran's logistics department and the Ministry of Public Security managed by Bi Min temporarily ready. It was also the first time he had faced such a completely unknown creation on his own.
"Director Zheng, the explosion-proof bubble glue has been injected, and you can start the trial work." Xia Xiaoyan tied up her hair, held the lever with her fingers, and moved forward little by little to control the digging lever.
"If you find an abnormality, cut off the control of all spider robots." Zheng Kai said.
"Yes." Xia Xiaoyan also stared at the screen, watching the slender pliers open under the control, and then clamped the black stick.
At this moment, everyone in the command room held their breath, but as the weak pliers lifted back lightly, the black stick was lifted out like this, without the imaginary strong magnetism, without the imaginary explosion, and without the imaginary indescribable life.
"Xia Xiaoyan, is there anything abnormal?" Zheng Kai looked at Xia Xiaoyan, who had beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Nothing anomalous, but based on what other spider webcams have seen, there's a bunch of black clubs down there." Xia Xiaoyan said, "However, the weight of this stick is very light, and the dynamometer shows that it is only about 1 kilogram. But with strong distractions, it is true. ”
As she spoke, as the black stick was constantly pulled upwards, the display screens of the approaching spider robots invariably appeared slightly blurry.
"Director Zheng, this object interferes with all electronic signals, which is a big obstacle to our research." "The closest thing to here is a transit station 15 kilometers underground, but without electronic equipment, we can't analyze such an object." ”
"Let's bring the spider first." Zheng Kai thought about the solution, "Luo Yiran, you go and find out the situation of the mice and plants we have cultivated recently. See if this black stick has an effect on the creature. If it's no problem, replace the animal little by little, and it seems that this thing can only be studied artificially. ”
"In addition, the No. 3 excavation shaft will not be used for the time being, Huang Jia and Wang Yuan, the main task of your excavation department now is not to dig deeper, but to return to the logistics department...... There is also the Ministry of Construction, and recently Lao Luo is also helping to recruit talents, and build underground hydropower, air circulation systems. ”
"Bi Min, because the underground environment is not yet safe, you and the Ministry of Public Security may have to take a large number of people to live on the ground, and you will also need to be responsible for the patrols outside. But considering the ground situation in Yanjiang City, I will ask Shen Zixuan to give you a batch of construction and security robots, otherwise you will really not have enough manpower. ”
"That's basically it, disband and go get the job done." After Zheng Kai finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he looked at the way those people nodded or turned around and left.
"I'm getting used to it...... But there are so many things going on right now. ”
