In the command hall of the Shadow Fortress, the Cambrian Master Brain, which had lagged behind for more than a century, finally started up. Many small holes were opened in the metal shell of the Master Brain, and multiple laser beams were emitted from the inside to build a spherical virtual screen.
The screen continued to blur and distort at first, but gradually began to stabilize. The main brain behind the screen gradually disappeared, and finally only a spherical virtual screen remained like a space-time channel.
An overhead view of the Shadow Fortress appeared on the screen, and the clarity gradually improved over time. Professor Herman breathed a sigh of relief, opened his personal terminal, and began to make final adjustments to the master brain.
Although the Cambrian lags behind, it is a qualitative leap for the Shadow Fortress, which could only rely on micro-master brains to handle all matters before. Fortress construction and material dispatching are not enough, multiple micro-master brains plus the commander's personal chip
Barely able to handle it. The real role of the Cambrian is early warning and command.
During the battle, Cambrian will evaluate the enemy's dynamics and battlefield situation in real time, make predictions, and assign combat missions to each unit accordingly. With the current scale of Shadow Fortress, which has less than 10,000 people, Cambrian can completely operate the war accurately.
To people. In this level of command, even Joseph and William are no match for a mastermind.
Of course, the master brain also has its own limitations, that is, the opponent will reverse crack the inherent algorithm model of a master brain and develop a targeted combat model. Therefore, generally speaking, there will be senior generals next to the master brain on the battlefield, and when necessary
Sometimes, the authority of the general will be higher than that of the mastermind.
Of course, there is no such problem on Planet 4. The beast group does not even know what the master brain is, let alone decipher the master brain model in a targeted manner.
About half an hour later, Herman breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The debugging is all completed and very successful. Now you can use the Cambrian."
Joseph and William looked at each other and ordered: "Switch to panoramic mode, range 100 kilometers."
An overhead view of the Shadow Fortress appeared again on the virtual screen, but this time there were two more small screens next to it, showing horizontal and vertical cross-sections, both extending underground.
As the order is issued, the screen area continues to expand, and the shadow fortress becomes smaller and smaller. In the two cross-sections, the underground part was originally completely black, but now it gradually becomes colorful, showing the stratigraphic structure, and slowly moving toward
Penetrates deep underground.
The Cambrian continues to emit shock waves to the surroundings and collect signals through underground sensors. As data accumulates, the scope of the panorama becomes larger and larger, and the details become clearer and clearer.
William casually moved a little in front of him, and another screen appeared. Data rolled across the screen, all related to the underground structure and composition distribution of the Shadow Fortress. On the side of the screen, there was stratigraphic data previously obtained through manual drilling.
The results of comparative analysis of the two data are highly coincident.
William was very satisfied and closed the small screen. The range and accuracy of the Cambrian detection exceeded expectations, which can provide sufficient warning time when the beast tide attacks, which is of self-evident significance for base defense.
"The next step is the extreme test. The first test range is 300 kilometers." Professor Hermann said.
As the command was issued, the Cambrian's speed increased significantly and began to make a low buzzing sound.
The virtual screen expanded rapidly, and the shadow fortress soon became an almost invisible dot. The expanded screen was filled with large meaningless color spots and blocks, but it soon began to become clear, and the integrity of the data
It is also improving rapidly.
After about 40 minutes, the panorama finally stabilized, and any part can be selected for analysis or zooming. The depth of the underground structure detection has also exceeded 100 meters, and is still extending.
Joseph switched between several different modes at will. After looking at them, he nodded.
Professor Hermann said: "The first extreme test was successful! Now we start the second extreme test, with a test range of 500 kilometers."
The panorama expanded again, and the originally clear picture gradually turned into a circle on the inner layer, with darkness on the outer edge.
After a while, the outer edge of the panorama finally reacted and patterns began to appear.
Professor Hermann, who had been staring nervously at the panorama, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat that had appeared at some point.
This time, the process of clearing the panorama was very slow, almost jumping and refreshing frame by frame. With great difficulty, the outer area was mostly filled with color blocks, but there were still quite a few small black dots, which were not detected.
detected area.
At this moment, the outer area is like wearing a thin veil, making it vaguely invisible.
However, Joseph, William and Herman are not in a hurry. As long as the color point appears on the outermost edge, it means that the detection range of the Cambrian has reached there, and the rest is to continuously supplement and improve the data. That is only a matter of time.
Joseph was about to tell a joke when suddenly his whole body was shaken and he froze in place!
William also became a statue.
They saw, just on the outer edge of the panorama, a huge shadow slowly passing by!
For an instant, their consciousness seemed to have been hit by something heavy and went blank. When they came back to their senses, the shadow had moved out of the Cambrian's detection range.
Most of the outer edge area had been detected originally, but after the shadow appeared, the area it passed turned black again, as if it had been erased by an eraser.
After a long time, spots of light began to appear in the black.
"What was that just now?" Joseph woke up from the shock first and lost his voice.
It took a while for William to come back to his senses and said, "Do you think that thing is alive?"
Joseph smiled bitterly, "I hope it's not, but my intuition tells me that it should be alive."
Professor Hermann said in horror: "If it were a living thing, wouldn't its body be more than three hundred kilometers long?"
Joseph calmed down and said, "Don't forget, that's only part of its body."
Professor Hermann was shocked: "How is it possible? This is the surface of a planet, and the gravity is 1.4 times that of the parent star. How can there be such a huge creature? This kind of creature should only exist in space."
William sighed and said: "There are many unexplainable things on this planet, and this is not the case."
Professor Herman suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively: "Is this 'that thing'?"
William shook his head and said, "Actually, we don't know what 'that thing' is. Didn't they reveal anything to you when you came here?"
Herman shook his head, his voice became deeper, and said: "Who would tell a person sent to die the real secret?"
At this time, Joseph said: "Maybe the pace of our external exploration should be slowed down a bit. Do you want to report the discovery just now?"
William thought for a long time and then said: "Report it, it is beyond the scope of what we can handle."
