Chapter 151 The Prometheus Project

(8 of 9 updates)

"No substantive content related to the 'Prometheus' project was retrieved." Emma gave an answer.

"Forget it, go down and take a look."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked out of the data center, passed the elevator, and came to the 24th floor underground.

When the elevator door opened, Tang Fang's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but click his tongue. This is an underground hall covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, and various armored vehicles are parked on the booth like commodities.

As he walked forward, he looked at the descriptions of these armored vehicles on the monitor next to the booth.

"Wildfire" Tank: Equipped with a double-barreled 80mm cannon and equipped with a flame-throwing device, it can kill infantry in a large area.

"Medusa": A light off-road vehicle equipped with a 35mm beam weapon with a maximum speed of 320km/h.

"Phantom" Tank: Equipped with optical camouflage devices, it can effectively blend into the surrounding environment and launch an ambush on target units.

"Thunder King" giant tank: equipped with twin-barreled cannon, retractable machine gun array tower against infantry, six-linked missile launcher, detachable track armor, digging arm.

...

The entire hall is more like a weapon exhibition hall. Every vehicle here is an experimental model developed by the "Galaxy" Armament Research and Development Center, but due to various reasons, it cannot be mass-produced, so it can only be parked here as a collection.

After wandering around, he finally came to a "Hellscream" anti-ship attack tank, bent down, pulled out a touchpad from the chassis, and entered a series of digital passwords.

"Chi..." There was a sound of gas jets not far away, and the outer armor of a large drone (mobile base vehicle) unfolded outwards, revealing the internal honeycomb structure.

Following Emma's guidance, Tang Fang walked into a beehive, and pressed the touch button casually. Accompanied by a strange sound, the soles of his feet trembled, and the standing platform slowly descended.

After half a minute. The elevator bottomed out, and the induction doors retracted towards the sides. Tang Fang stepped out of the elevator and entered the lobby on the -25th floor to take a look, his expression changed.

Same as -24 floor. Thousands of square meters of open hall, but the distance up and down is much higher than the former.

Tang Fang is standing on the upper floor of a zigzag staircase, looking from a distance,

There are 5 super-large glass vessels standing in the hall, which are filled with light blue fluid. Various conduits extend from the bottom of the vessel, the interface of electronic equipment, the diversion valve of the catalytic furnace, etc. to a large glass vessel in the center of the room. on the laser instrument.

"Huh? What kind of research is the military doing?" As he walked down the stairs, he looked at the environment in the hall. Not to mention the extremely sophisticated scientific instruments, the fluid substances in the five super-large containers were enough to surprise people. up.

Element zero. Lots and lots of source elements zero!

"Prometheus Project, what exactly is it?" Tang Fang walked slowly to the center of the hall, puzzled.

The laser instrument is formed into a wheel shape as a whole, and the 6 laser guns are aimed at a damaged chip floating in the air in the center of the wheel, and purple streamers flash quickly along the lines on the chip.

Because the entire Appalus base has been shut down. The wheel-type equipment also stopped operating, and the entire hall was silent, only the data model on the display of the electronic equipment was still rotating and changing.

"Emma, ​​can you figure out the meaning of 'Prometheus'?" Tang Fang asked casually after inserting the lead wire of the power armor into the data interface of a supercomputer under the wheel-shaped laser instrument.

"Decrypting data, please wait."

After about 5 minutes. Emma's voice sounded: "Commander, the decryption is complete."

"speak."

"According to official information, the Prometheus Project is an experimental project to decrypt a data chip of unknown origin. Just like deciphering the Epsilon technology, the purpose is to analyze the data contained in the chip and obtain more advanced data. technology resources.”

"Huh?" After listening to Emma's explanation of the "Prometheus" project, Tang Fang couldn't help frowning: "So, this broken chip stores data far more advanced than human technology? "

"It can be said that by consulting the experimental data of 'Prometheus', it can be determined that the military is planning to use the method of deciphering the technology of Epsilon to extract the technological resources on the chip. But obviously, they walked into There is a dead zone, 288 days have passed since the plan was implemented, and as for the research results, it is infinitely close to zero."

"Infinity approaching zero?" Tang Fang was taken aback: "Could it be that the technological level of this damaged chip is higher than that of the Ipsilon civilization?"

"There is no way to verify it, and there is no data to refer to."

Tang Fang pondered for a moment: "No matter what, this thing cannot be left in the hands of the military."

After speaking, he moved a lifting machine from the side, pressed the lift button, and slowly lifted into the air.

The chip was quietly suspended in mid-air. If those purple streamers were ignored, it would be a piece of unremarkable broken iron at first glance. After checking that there was no danger, he stretched out his right arm and grabbed the broken chip out of the center of the wheel-shaped device.

Originally the chip was motionless, like a dead object. Who would have thought that as soon as the palm of the hand came into contact with the chip, the pulse energy revolving around the Ypsilon character on the forehead suddenly became violent and thunderous. Before Tang Fang could react, he Like a billowing thunderstorm, it hit the broken chip in the palm along the right arm.

"呲啪啪" A burst of dazzling electric light flashed, and the arc hit the chip pattern, and the purple streamer, which was originally as thin as a gossamer, instantly flourished, bursting out into a dazzling brilliance.

Stripes of purple light burst out from the chip pattern, like a 3D holographic projection facility, drawing a string of binary character streams that flashed in the air.

"What... what is this?" Tang Fang was stunned, his eyes fixed on the binary data stream, and he was at a loss for a moment.

"Emma, ​​Emma...can you see it? What do these binary characters mean?"

After waiting for a while without hearing a response, Tang Fang was startled: "Emma, ​​what are you doing? Why don't you answer?"

Still not answering, Tang Fang glanced at the strings that were still beating, and switched his attention to the system space. The scene that appeared in front of him stunned him.

The Zerg and Protoss bases were unharmed, but the human bases had returned to the gray locked state when they were not activated before.

"How did this happen? Why did this happen?" My heart was heavy, as if it was encrusted with a gigantic boulder, which was oppressive.

What the hell is this damn chip? Why does it affect the interstellar system in my mind, why the gods and worms are not hindered, but only the human race has an accident.

Gray, locked state, this... This is simply like returning to before liberation, and the good mood that just unlocked the heavy factory disappeared in an instant.

Now that he is fledgling, without the support of the human base, how can he disguise his strength with only the two races of gods and insects? How to face the Crotan garrison?

"Damn it! Where did this ghost thing come from?" Just as he was about to throw away the chip in a fit of rage, the flow of binary data strings stopped, and the purple light slowly disappeared.

At the same time, an invisible force forcibly pulled his attention back to his mind.

The system space has a black screen and the cursor is blinking.
