The first thousand and fortieth chapters can not rest Tavel
I don’t know if our deep dive plan is a complete success this time - in fact, we have achieved our original goal, conducting a deep dive to test the performance of the experimental model of the deep submersible, and collecting data from the deep zone of the abyss for use
Build the next more powerful deep-submersible ship, obtain more than two effective databases, and finally safely evacuate the test site - now these goals have been completed, but an unplanned situation is that we lost a test universe with superior conditions.
This loss is not unbearable, and it has not affected the income of the entire deep dive plan, but when we think that it is the fallen apostles who are causing trouble, we feel like we have a knot in our throats. Sandora is especially angry. She has sent three times the number of troops to guard the empire.
Every abyss gate used for scientific research in the territory is used to prevent fallen apostles from suddenly emerging from these gates. However, other than that, she has no other way: the empire currently does not have the ability to form an army that can fight in the abyss.
Fleet capabilities.
After getting rid of the abyssal power that may have been contaminated on our bodies (this gave me the feeling as if I had just walked around a severely plagued area), the three of us went to the Shadow City headquarters, where everyone was already waiting. In the officers' lounge,
I saw Qian Qian, who was lying lazily and softly on the sofa, humming. She had no consciousness of the mistress of the empire. In such a serious military place, she openly played with a doll in front of several guards at the door.
The doll resisted very fiercely. In order to stop Qian Qian from continuing to put strange little clothes on her body, her feathers were fluttering all over the floor: Well, the doll is a mercury lamp.
"Ah. Arjun...ah..."
Seeing us coming in, Qianqian's eyes immediately lit up. One second she was lying lazily on the sofa, and the next second she jumped up and rushed into my arms. Unfortunately, as soon as she got up, her steps swayed, and her figure was out of shape.
It fell steadily to the side. The mercury lamp had just escaped from the poisonous claws, and before it could fly far, Qianqian subconsciously grabbed its ankle. They fell to the ground together, and the little doll was shocked. The wings behind it flapped desperately,
Trying to fly up, he blushed and shouted at me for help: "Help...help...it's so heavy...come and take care of your wife!"
I quickly stepped forward to help Qian Qian up, and saved the little lamp at the same time. The puppet girl sat on my shoulder in shock, and after a beating, she flew into my sister's arms and glared at us both. She smiled apologetically: "Ah, ha,
It seems like my legs are still a little weak..."
She was always full of energy. It was like Qian Qian who had taken twenty pounds of stimulants with chicken blood. Now she looked tired and even pale. I could feel that she had almost no energy at all when she leaned in my arms.
, it was simply paralysis on her own body - well, where did this girl get the strength to toss the mercury lamp just now? Is bullying a girl a non-consuming skill?
"What's your sense of propriety when things like this happen?" I carefully helped the girl in my arms to lie down on the sofa. The latter simply rested her head on my lap and narrowed her eyes. It was impossible to blame her, "I didn't suffer anything.
Injured?"
I'm very worried. What Qian Qian did today can be said to be unprecedented. Single-handedly suppressing an abyss gate that has gone berserk. Even a high-level true god would have to consider whether he can come out alive. Even if
Qianqian's special abilities make her qualified for such an almost impossible task. She also has to bear a lot of pressure and risks. The Gate of the Abyss didn't hurt her when it collapsed, right?
"It's okay," Qian Qian completely ignored the gazes of the people around her and happily moved back and forth in her lover's arms, not even bothering to open her eyes, "Ajun, have you forgotten? I am the master of time. The gate of the abyss explodes at the fastest speed.
No matter how fast it is, it is not as fast as the smallest unit of time. To me, it is just a series of still pictures. I can always find an opportunity to escape. I just have a bit of mental exhaustion. That thing is so destructive that time can be destroyed.
It pollutes - I have to constantly create new time vortexes to make the Gate of the Abyss jump back and forth between two points in time. Ah ha, it's quite interesting. This is my new trick, it's called exhaustion.
How about -3000 if you don't pay for your life? By setting up two time points, you can make a target repeat between the two time points. At the same time, I can also choose to let the target retain or not retain its own changes that occur each time it is repeated.
It’s like repeating AB... Huh, this is a trick I forced out when I was suppressing that door... I’m a little sleepy... I’ll take a nap first..."
As he spoke, Qian Qian's voice gradually became deeper and deeper, and was eventually replaced by a slight snore.
I was unable to react because of this girl who was jumping around when talking and doing things. I could only raise my head awkwardly and smile at the people around me, but Bingtis nodded thoughtfully: "I discovered something.
When she was with you, Qianqian never considered the surrounding environment. Her world must not be big, at most two and a half meters around you." What the hell is this accurate data about?
"That's probably it," Sister smiled softly and poked my arm, "Maybe for Qianqian, Ajun is almost her world. When she was a child, she would be thrown into our home every now and then.
I have grown up with Ajun to take care of me. Over time, I will develop a habit, and my true nature will be revealed when I am around Ajun and me..."
"Ahem, let's talk about the Gate of the Abyss," I scratched my hair in embarrassment, feeling that my sister was quite embarrassed to mention these things, "and the fallen apostles. They appeared under our testing ground.
, this needs careful analysis.”
Sandora glanced at Qian Qian with envy and muttered: "Just change the subject." Then she became serious, "Now I guess those spaceships are not special cases. The engineering team saw all the fallen apostles under the Gate of the Abyss.
Three spaceships, obviously a formation, including an armed warship, an auxiliary communication ship, and a spacecraft for scientific investigation. The scientific research ship is unmanned, and I don’t know about the other two ships.
Is it the same situation? At the same time, we don’t know if there are other ways to combine this kind of team. It seems that the mission of these three ships should be scientific research - this is my judgment. In most cases, a
If there is a unit in the team that has no combat effectiveness and is dedicated to scientific research, then the position of this team must be scientific research..."
"Why?" Lin Xue didn't react for a moment and asked smoothly. Before Sandora could speak, Xiao Xue, who was sitting next to her and hugging Lin Xue's shoulders, started shouting: "Hey, Mom, what do you think? I've never heard of it.
There are presidents who take two guards with them when they go out. Who has ever heard of a guard who takes two presidents with him when he goes out..." This girl's sharp words are very much like her mother's.
Shandora nodded: "That's the reason. A military team will not bring a lagging scientific research vessel - of course sometimes we will bring field engineers. This situation is different."
Immediately I remembered that magical bearded man. I thought he should be included in the military unit...
"If this is a scientific expedition team, then their configuration is obviously much more advanced than ours: the fallen apostles have been able to create a variety of ships adapted to the abyss environment and control them perfectly: the engineering team previously reported that they destroyed the ship
There is a ship equipped with a large number of high-power antenna arrays. That ship should be used to communicate with the mainland in the abyss. It may even be the prototype of some kind of fleet communication hub. The fallen apostles may form an abyss fleet. This is
A very bad conjecture. In addition, we should all remember one thing. The abyss is thought of as a closed and dark spherical shell. The orderly world is located on the surface of the spherical shell. The gate of the abyss is the spherical shell.
Holes that accidentally appear on the spherical shell. As long as they master the technology of precise positioning and remote communication in the spherical shell, the fallen apostles will have the ability to suddenly rush out of any hole and attack any world where they have the coordinates. And this kind of
The raid cannot be stopped midway, even if we know their plan - there is currently no technology that can prevent the Abyss Gate from opening."
"Don't you have the technology to actively open the door to the abyss?" My sister suddenly said. Then the atmosphere darkened.
Sandora was solemn: "It would be too bad if the fallen apostles really mastered this technology... They would truly become like the abyss, freely opening doors, destroying, and plundering in any world... I don't
I hope to see something as bad as that."
"Please allow me to express my opinion. Their technology should be very immature now," Sivis's voice came from the door. She was still wearing the neat uniform of a senior officer, always looking smart and capable.
"It may not even be comparable to the current New Empire." Before we could ask about this astonishing judgment, she had already taken the initiative to explain: "According to the report of the engineering team, the size of the three enemy ships that appeared opposite the Gate of the Abyss
Both performance and performance are inferior to the abyss work ships manufactured by the empire, only at the level of light assault ships. This should not be a design requirement, but a technical limitation. The most obvious feature is that they need to hand over the communication of the spacecraft team to a specialized antenna platform
, a small spacecraft without any offensive and defensive capabilities, carries dozens of high-power antenna towers on its back to ensure the connection between the other two small ships and the base. Isn’t this design quite clumsy? In an abyss environment, the distance between ships
Cooperation is very difficult. As the distance increases, the disturbance from the abyss increases several times. Just like sailing in a storm, the boat may capsize at any time, and important units including communication arrays may also be easily destroyed. The best choice is
It is to build a warship that can withstand powerful storms, and store communications, weapons and various auxiliary facilities in a highly secure environment. This is not a simple giant ship doctrine, but common sense that should be possessed when resisting storms."
"So, the fallen apostle cannot build a larger abyss ship, is that what you mean?" Sandora looked into Sivis's eyes, "Indeed, your analysis makes sense. I am used to making things worst.
It seems that this time the idea was too bad.”
"Necessary vigilance is still indispensable," Sivis said seriously. "My subordinates have set up heavy troops near all abyss gates in the territory according to your order. At the same time, the Garden of Death system has also increased its monitoring efforts to provide early warning within the territory at any time.
The newly generated Gate of the Abyss. Another reason why my subordinates made these judgments is that there was news from the research institute. Chief Tavel initially judged that the enemy ship sample brought back by His Majesty has a technical bottleneck, and it seems that the fallen apostle has not yet.
Signs of breaking through this bottleneck..."
Me: "...Isn't her efficiency a little too high?"
"You have to understand the enthusiasm of scientists for their work." Sivis held it in for a long time before he said this, "Two hours is enough for Tavel to tear into pieces anything within a radius of one kilometer."
At this time, everyone should have breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that the fallen apostle did not suddenly rise as Sandora expected undoubtedly gave everyone reassurance. However, Sandora's worries still need to be taken seriously: as an experienced strategic master,
It is her habit to treat any problem with the worst expectations before it occurs. Tavel found that the fallen apostle was trapped by a technical bottleneck, which does not mean that this technical bottleneck will exist forever. One day the fallen apostle will achieve
Breakthrough, at that time, maybe we will really face a terrifying army that is roaming in the abyss and can rush out from the gate of the abyss to attack the real world at any time.
"We should focus more on the deep dive project and its subsidiary projects," Sandora said with a frown. "At least I don't want the next time a fallen apostle breaks into our testing site, and we have nothing to do.
The situation we know. At least we must be able to grasp the situation inside every abyss gate in the territory in real time. This task is handed over to the scientific research center. Now our technology in this area is almost blank. I hope to see one as soon as possible.
Solutions, even if they are just ideas.”
"Your will." Sivis saluted immediately and then withdrew.
"It seems that the empire's and the fallen apostles' technology trees in the abyss have taken two completely different paths," my sister said thoughtfully. "I just don't know whose path is more correct. Now it seems
, the progress of the Fallen Apostles is a bit aggressive. Their abyss spaceship must have dived on their own homeland, but it can cruise all the way to the empire's territory. Even cruising in shallow areas is quite a test of technical strength. And our deep dive
The ship and the abyss engineering ship do not have such a long endurance, but they are better in other aspects and can be designed to be larger. And the shield capacity seems to be higher?"
My sister is not an expert in this field, and she is just talking about her thoughts at this time. No one really knows how the fallen apostles' abyssal technology will develop, but as individuals who have been corrupted by the abyss, they are undoubtedly better than the empire in this regard.
He is uniquely endowed, at least the technology that can sneak all the way from the fallen apostle's homeland to the empire's territory is very scary.
I guess the reason why they have been able to submerge in the abyss for so long is probably due to their special protection technology, which is the effect of the layer of abyssal fog that shrouds the outside of the spacecraft. This layer of fog is obviously stronger than the "three-dimensional fog" used by the empire's deep-diving ships.
The "Leatherface Shield" consumes less, and it does not conflict with the abyss environment. It can be said that it fundamentally eliminates the possibility of being attacked by the mist whirlpools in the abyss. At the same time, the hull itself can be integrated with the abyss environment, which greatly
Reduces the consumption of spacecraft propulsion - well, this is my guess. The theoretical basis is "unscrupulous guys are easier to integrate into the group in Shadow City, and the uncle wearing sunglasses moves faster by one at Erli Bridge"...
The Fallen Apostles use the fog of the abyss to provide abyss resistance to the spacecraft. This approach is wonderful, but it also seems to have serious flaws: those spaceships do not seem to have strong protection against other forms of attacks, or the Fallen Apostles simply do not have any protection in this regard.
Take precautions. The makeshift bombs assembled by Big Beard blew up the two ships and turned them upside down. At the same time, because it was completely integrated into the abyss environment, once the shield of the fallen apostle's abyss ship was breached, it would immediately completely collapse. First, he would be killed by himself.
The fog of the abyss was half dead. A brick that Bingtis originally intended to penetrate the power pack of the spacecraft actually directly destroyed the entire spacecraft. This was something we did not expect.
So whether this technology is of value to us, we can only wait for Tavel's analysis report.
Big Beard made a decisive decision in this incident and solved a potential crisis (although it later turned out that this crisis did not exist). He was later credited with a credit. I think he is a talent, especially in the field of military technology; Big Beard
I also admitted that he was more interested in studying bombs and cannons than studying abyss theory, so I suggested to Tavel that this guy should lead a new ordnance research group, and the research direction would be various types of abyssal environments.
Weapons that can still be used - This project does not sound difficult, because it is not difficult to destroy the target in the abyss environment, as evidenced by Bingtis' brick, but in fact this is also a difficult subject that needs to be tackled: the abyss
In this environment, all destructive behaviors become no longer certain. Weapons are indeed bound to achieve destructive effects, but this is completely uncontrolled. Conventional attacks are likely to be amplified by the abyss environment by more than ten times. If they fall on the enemy's head,
It's okay, but it's more likely that it will fall on your own head - if you fire a cannon, you may be half blown away first. Don't think that you can sit back and relax with various shields against the abyss. Facts have proved that in a completely different
In an environment where common sense is used, any shield is not so reliable. The sudden loss of two escape towers of the engineering ship under normal circumstances is a clear proof. Later careful inspection proved that the escape towers of the engineering ship were not damaged when it disintegrated.
When the Fallen Apostles attacked, they were destroyed when the engineering ship threw out a set of induction beacons. The process of throwing out the induction beacons required the destruction of two sets of one-time locking gates on the engineering ship. This destruction process is believed to be affected by the abyss.
And zoomed in, killing the escape tower of the engineering ship.
How the abyss can still affect the escape tower of the engineering ship despite being blocked by a shield, and even cause structural damage to the latter, is a mystery that needs to be explained. We can be absolutely sure that the shield system of the engineering ship is effective.
, it can operate normally in an abyssal environment, and this cannot be faked, but it definitely has unknown loopholes. Tavel has organized experts to re-examine the blueprints of the abyssal isolation device, and combine these blueprints with the original deep-submersible ship prototype
To make comparisons, hoping to find places that have been overlooked by us, this may be another task with a heavy workload, and Tavel gave up his vacation again - I also agreed with Shandora a few days ago to do the deep dive plan.
After the completion of the first phase of the project, Tavel and the main scientific researchers were allowed to take a good rest for a few days. However, subsequent projects came one after another, and the progress of the fallen apostles in the abyss field made the generals press harder and harder. This promise seemed to have failed again.
Tavel herself doesn't think so. She likes to work and enjoys the joy of harvesting results after working tirelessly to tackle difficult problems. But I always feel a little bit guilty about it.
We can only hope that the fallen apostle can calm down a little and stop causing trouble for us all day long... (To be continued)
