Chapter 359 Golden Waterway

The room is not big, it is the smallest one in the warehouse. Of course, this is relative to the entire hall. After entering the room, looking up, dozens of robots are parked in the hangars distributed in blocks.

Tang Fang felt that using the word "robot" to describe it was very inappropriate, and "crystal man" was more appropriate. These unmanned devices made by the Ipsi dragons are about 2.5 meters high, and they look like Eve in "Robot Story", but the body surface is completely composed of exquisite light blue "crystals", which can be blurred when viewed from the outside to the inside. The paste saw some silver-gray solids, presumably it should be the internal skeleton.

Just like restoring the psychic flame before, Tang Fang stepped forward, raised his hand on his heels, and pressed the e rune on the enlarged version of Eve's chest. Following a flash of golden light, the surface of the "Crystal Man" flowed like waves of blue streaks. Then, a row of orange-yellow characters appeared on the display screen on the face of the "Crystal Man", which were the Ipsilon characters that only Tang Fang could understand.

At this time, Tang Fang nodded and let go of his hand. Five light threads protruded from the pores under the "Crystal Man"'s cheeks and gently attached to the back of his hand.

After about a few breaths, the "Crystal Man" who received the order of "Repair Dimensional Roaming Terminal" slowly rose up, and the circular aperture at the tail flashed a silver light like flowing water, passing over Tang Fang's head, and quickly flew out of the hangar.

Seeing the back of the "Crystal Man" disappearing outside the door, Tang Fang walked up to Freya who had regained her ability to move and was looking at the back of the "Crystal Man" dully, not allowing her to say anything, and took her hand quickly Step out of the warehouse.

Having just touched the core computer of the "Crystal Man", Tang Fang finally understood that the crystalline material on the surface of the "Crystal Man" is composed of inert zero element crystals.

Just like the "Ulikmi Shield", human beings have also made great progress in the utilization of zero elements, but due to the low refining technology. Inert low-purity zero-element crystals are far inferior to Ipsilon creations in terms of hardness and toughness.

As an engineering drone, the "Crystal Man" is a "Crystal Man" rather than a "robot". because of the working environment. The dimensional roaming terminal is just one of its work objects, except for the external facilities of the "Ashtolando" system. "Crystal Man" is also responsible for the maintenance and repair of the dimensional lock.

The cosmic environment is very complex, there is no doubt about it, whether it is supernova explosions, star creation, or the activities of neutron stars, black holes and other celestial bodies, it is possible to form a strong gravitational field, thereby distorting time and space, affecting dimensional tunnels, and damaging Dimensional lock with hole structure. Create an interdimensional space-time storm.

In this unstable channel, flesh and blood and ordinary robots will inevitably be torn to pieces by time and space shocks, so what about maintenance? What about maintenance? In order to gain a foothold in this environment, except for some aircraft equipped with graviton shields, only extremely high-purity inert zero element crystals can do the job.

Considering factors such as cost, volume, service life, etc.,

In the end, the Ipsilon chose the inert zero element crystal as the shell of the maintenance drone, and just now there is the "Crystal Man" in front of him.

This crystal-shaped engineering drone not only has extremely strong defense, but also has a small fusion reactor to provide power. It is also equipped with an ultra-high specific impulse plasma engine, a retractable ion shield, and an Angstrom-level heat dissipation network. Central processing system, maintenance integrated module combination.

For comparison, Tang Fang smiled when he looked at the fully automated "Crystal Man". This is simply a replica of Wall-E and Eve.

Seeing the hairy hair on the side, Freya couldn't help but move away, and asked tentatively, "Tang Fang, what are you thinking?"

"Hey... I'm going to get them back." Tang Fang said proudly.

"They?" Freya followed his gaze, and not far away, the "Crystal Man" was slowly flying over pushing a hover car. A black lacquered cube was piled up in the carriage.

In the StarCraft series of games, Zerg units have the ability to regenerate. Even if you are not on the creep, you will slowly recover from your own injuries. Humans have it, they can treat damaged mechanical units, and biological units can also be treated by nurses and medical transport planes. Only the protoss, no matter whether it is a mechanical unit or a biological unit, after the shield is destroyed, the main body is injured, and then it can be resuscitated. Nor can it be recovered.

With the technological level of the protoss, will there be no repair machinery? Who believes that, but Blizzard castrated it out of gameplay needs. There is a maintenance team on the Morning Star, and there are still in the system space. No matter how you look at it, the ability in logistical maintenance is already very good. But who is Tang Fang? He has been a thief for so long along the way, and his ability to steal sheep has already been deeply rooted in his bones. If there is such a good thing on "Tikal", will he be indifferent? Anyway, it's a waste to put it here as a mummy, it's better to get it on the Morning Star.

The "Crystal Man" system is very powerful, as long as Emma is ordered to translate the existing human technology data into Ipsilon language, and then input the core by itself, it will upgrade the database by itself, integrate the human technology tree, and obtain and repair man-made machinery Ability. The full name is a space construction engineering vehicle, which belongs to a light armor unit, and it is difficult to undertake the rapid maintenance work on the frontline battlefield. The "Crystal Man" is different. The shield can be repaired standing on the ground in the inland battlefield. Even in the space battlefield, with its size, it can be repaired while fighting, completely ignoring the enemy's artillery fire.

Looking at the "Crystal Man" who "stepped up" from the opposite side, Tang Fang liked it more and more, and the more he looked at it, the more he was satisfied. Humans like beautiful things, so he is naturally not immune to this, this thing in front of him is much more than cool.

"Crystal Man" is too ugly, why not...Tang Fang turned to look at Freya, and smiled, why not call him "Cupid".

When distracted, "Cupid" had already flown near the damaged part of the "gate" facility, a fan-shaped light shot out from the eye, swept across the damaged part, and then stretched out its arm, the front ring crystals bloomed like petals, a silver-gray The metal arm popped out, and the needle-shaped structure in front was on the damaged part of the doorpost. The faint blue light roamed around, and finally converged on the node crystal of the "gate" facility, bursting out a cloud of dazzling silver light in an instant.

Then, the damaged module separated from the main body of the “gate” facility, and was dragged by “Cupid” to land on the open space next to it. Having done this, it stretched out its arms again. The needle-shaped structure at the front end changed for a while, expanded into a rectangular interface, and inserted into the cube control panel on the maglev vehicle behind. Originally pitch black. The cube, which was like a stubborn rock, came to life in an instant, like a collapsed sand model. All of a sudden scattered into countless fine particles.

"It's broken..." Freya was about to ask, when the particles scattered all over the ground, like ants, gathered into a black flow, went all the way up the doorpost, and condensed into brand new system components in the damaged area.

"Micro material robot?" Tang Fang narrowed his eyes. Nano robot technology is nothing, but such a fully automated building material robot is really amazing.

After "Cupid" repaired the dimension roaming terminal. At the most eye-catching point of the "e" rune in the "gate" facility, I heard a burst of "squeaky" electric currents, one after another Youlan climbed up the arch, and a ball of lightning jumped from the center of the circular arch structure, and then slowly expanded to form a water surface Generally, a light blue light curtain that ripples from time to time.

"It's done." Tang Fang praised sincerely, and was about to operate the psychic flame. At this time, "Cupid" suddenly flew in front of him, his eyes projected a light screen in mid-air, and a series of golden Ypsilon characters flashed across.

"So that's how it is..." Yue looked back. Tang Fang's face became uglier.

He finally understood the reason why the "Lost Land" could not travel at warp speed. During the "War of the Lost", the "Ashtolando" system of the Ypsi Dragons suffered a catastrophe, and not only most of the external equipment was damaged in the hand-to-hand combat. Even the dimensional tunnel suffered devastating damage, and the dimensional lock system was paralyzed.

Some of the dimensional locks were destroyed, and some of the dimensional locks were damaged, which caused the space continuum to partially collapse, and formed a sub-dimensional storm, sweeping the entire "Ashtolando" system.

Before the start of the "Lost War", the entire "Lost Land" was not as independent from the Sky Nest as it is now. There was no buffer zone between the outer star system of the Yipsi dragon area and other star systems in the star area. Light years.

And the dimensional tunnels of the "Ashtolando" system spread all over the jurisdiction. After the "Lost War" ended, the dimensional storm not only swept the entire tunnel. It even creates a see-saw with the dimensional lock system, and then twists the entire wormhole network. It caused a chain reaction that spread to a range of nearly a hundred light-years in diameter.

As we all know, the universe is not flat, just like a mountain road, there are flat and rough. The unstable wormhole network of the "Ashtolando" system will be distorted at the multi-dimensional level. Like a sea storm, it will change from the original parallel state to a shaking state, thereby intersecting with normal time and space, and even appearing a huge one-way Gravitational effect, forming a dimensional rift.

In such an environment, want to travel to the stars through the warp drive? That's purely courting death. Ever since, the "Lost Land" has evolved into the current "Lost" state.

"Tang Fang, what's the matter with you?" Seeing him turn from joy to sorrow, Freya asked worriedly.

Tang Fang sighed, and described the embarrassing state of the "Ashtolando" system at this time.

"Since the equipment is broken, let's go back, Freya is hungry." In the eyes of the girl, the "Ashtolando" system is not as important as the Wu Zang Temple.

Tang Fang scratched her little nose angrily: "There are food and drinking water prepared by me in the shuttle. If you are hungry, you can go and get them yourself. I still have information to check."

"Hmm..." Looking at the endlessly empty hall and looking at Tang Fang, Freya bit her lip and pondered for a moment: "I'd better wait here for you."

Tang Fang shrugged, turned around and walked to "Cupid", and connected to the center again. He didn't believe that the Yipsilon people had no countermeasures. The reason why "Cupid" was designed in this form was to deal with possible incidents in the dimensional tunnel. The space-time storm, which shows that the Yipsi dragon people have long been prepared.

Sure enough, after sending the corresponding command, "Cupid" gave him an affirmative reply. The database not only stores maintenance plans for dimensional locks, but also design drawings. In other words, it can not only repair the damage of the dimensional lock, but also create a new dimensional lock.

However, in the current environment, there are not one or two damaged dimensional locks, but throughout the entire "Ashtolando" system. There are only two finished dimensional locks in the warehouse. On the one hand, it is also a drop in the bucket.

This can't help but cause Tang Fang a big headache. If he can't repair the "Ashtolando" system, he won't be able to set foot on other star systems in the "Lost Land", and thus lose the opportunity to unlock other Protoss technologies.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Frowning and walking back and forth for a while, he turned around and came to the psychic flame of the dimensional roaming terminal, connected with it, and called out the structural diagram of the entire "Ashtolando" system.

Along with the center of the psychic flame, blue lights shot out. The dimensional lock distribution map of the "Lost Land" and the buffer zone slowly unfolded before Tang Fang's eyes.

Under normal conditions, these cobweb-distributed dimensional tunnels will be marked with green light spots, at this moment. 98% of the system network area is showing a red alert posture.

After staring at the network topology map for a while, Tang Fang suddenly said "Hmm?" Send a command to the psychic flame.

Immediately afterwards, the Blu-ray reappeared, and a star map of the "Lost Land" was superimposed on the network topology map.

Because of the impact of the previous "Lost War", some working and semi-working dimensional locks were affected by the storm and were scattered to the "Lost Land" and the surrounding areas of the buffer zone. Normal warp sailing.

According to the answer given by the center of the psychic flame. After the Yipsi dragon area was broken up and reorganized into the "Lost Land", the dimensional roaming terminal of the "Tikal" star must get in touch with other operational terminals and resume use. It is necessary to re-open the dimensional tunnel and configure the dimensional lock. system.

This is an impossible task for him now. The number of dimensional locks in the warehouse is insufficient. Even if "Cupid" is ordered to start making new dimensional locks, even if the inventory resources of the relay station are added, the number required for a dimensional tunnel cannot be gathered.

Manufacturing a dimensional lock not only requires a large amount of zero elements, but also a variety of metals such as palladium, platinum, iridium, and titanium. Some silicides, supermetals, isopolymers. and other materials. Of course, these resources can all be transformed from zero elements, but unfortunately, Tang Fang has neither a transformation factory nor enough zero elements.

However, just because it can't be done now doesn't mean it can't be done in the future. In addition to the rare transactions in the free market of Tianchao star area, there are no minerals such as palladium and iridium.

By superimposing the dimensional lock distribution map and the "Lost Land" star map. Tang Fang discovered a situation, the area affected by the red spot is not all over the entire "Lost Land" and the outer 30 light-year buffer zone. There is a gap between erythema and erythema. In such a gap area, there is no warp interference phenomenon. Suitable for warp sailing.

Of course, the distribution of these gap areas is very messy, separated by erythema areas of different sizes and shapes, and many of them are dead ends. It is simply impossible to pass through like a big road. Therefore, for more than 200 years, those explorers who tried to get involved in the "Lost Land" all ended up with no bones left.

But Tang Fang was different. If he hadn't repaired the dimensional roaming terminal and obtained the dimensional lock distribution map, if he wanted to go to the Tianchao star area on the other side, he could only obediently return to Megar and find another way out. It's different now. Although the gap area is irregular and disorderly, he still found a small path leading to the outside world. As long as you are careful, you can pass through it safely.

There are still 3 space shuttles on the "Morning Star". If they are handed over to the machine gunners to drive and open the way ahead, then the safety factor will be greatly improved.

If you choose to return to Mejiaer and find another way, it will be a troublesome thing to break through the empire's border blockade. Secondly, the sailing time of half a year is really too long. But if it passes through the gap area, it will only take 2 months at most, and the travel time will be reduced by 3 times. Moreover, this is tantamount to opening up a new channel, a new channel that belongs only to him. From then on, "The Lost Land" will truly become his technological back garden. After collecting all the materials for making the dimensional lock and successfully repairing the "Ashtolando" system, the "Lost Land" will be completely revived and become the cornerstone of his strong rise.

"Emma, ​​how are you doing?"

"Commander, the star map and the dimensional lock distribution map have been integrated, and all useful information has been collected."

"Okay." Tang Fang nodded, pushed back Emma, ​​and turned to look at Freya: "It's a matter here, let's go, and go to 'Solna' for a while, and then go home after finishing."

"Then...this...dimension roaming terminal is not repaired?"

Tang Fang glanced back at the gleaming Stargate, and smiled slightly: "The future is long." Then, he sent a dormancy command to the psychic flame, awakened a "Cupid" in the warehouse, and walked out of the hall with Freya.

At this moment, Freya was already familiar with the function of anklets, she simply tore off her combat boots, and hugged her in her arms, like a cheerful forest elf, babbling, babbling, swinging around Tang Fang, and yelling from time to time. There were a few chuckles like silver bells.

Considering that her body is very abnormal, it is not harmful to be exposed to the vacuum environment, so Tang Fang ignored her, settled the two "Cupids", stepped into the cockpit and sat down.

Not long after, the girl was probably tired from playing, with a pair of snow-white little feet bare, holding in her arms the large canned beef that Tang Fang had brought from the Morning Star before she left, she slumped into the co-pilot, ignoring It was greasy, stuffed it into his mouth vigorously, and groaned: "Let's go, let's go, go early and return early."

Tang Fang turned his head and glanced at her, he was as clear as a mirror about the girl's little abacus, this girl wanted to show off the pair of "Hot Wheels" on her feet in front of Tang Yun, Linglong and others. (to be continued)
