Chapter 1093 Process Enhanced Version

The latest website: After testing, it was found that the contract number has a very high-end self-transition system.

Specifically, it is relatively rough and rudimentary, but the technology itself is very compelling.

Simply understood, in the Marvel universe, the reason why spaceships, such as the Guardians of the Galaxy, can quickly shuttle at a huge scale that is often calculated in light years, is because of the existence of transition points.

Therefore, in Guardians of Silver 2, in order to avoid being chased and killed, Xingjue and his party staged a series of flight trajectories like billiard balls catapulting back and forth on the table table, and each catapult represents a jump of a transition point.

This kind of jump will cause a huge burden on the body, but there are no ordinary people in the Silver Guardian team, and Xingjue, who is most like ordinary people, has half of the blood of the gods.

In the story of Yinhu and Fulian, it is also revealed that the transition needs to find the transition point nearby, and the significance of the star map route also lies in this.

The transition technology mastered by Zhao Wenrui, including the transition technology of SC universe, did not jump out of this category. To some extent, it is very similar to finding wormholes that exist in nature and then traveling through them.

It's just that wormholes are open, and there are many risks and unknowns. The transition point is generally already explored, and at the same time requires more technical preparations. It explodes huge energy in an instant, enters a weak point in the universe, and then drills out from another weak point. It is a bit like space travel in the Warhammer universe. meaning, but there is no such detailed and rich description of the Warhammer universe as for the certain kind of crack represented by the transition point, the special channel.

In the Warhammer universe, the dimensional space is simply a mirror of the material universe. It is also all-encompassing and non-material, more changeable and mysterious. It is also the location of the lair of the "Four Hawkers", where the group of demons are very active.

But most universes, especially those on the technological side, are not so magical. Anyway, Zhao Wenrui has never seen the emperor's brilliance open a channel in the thick and sinister fog, allowing ships to pass through subspace, or dimensional space, etc. It sounds like a magical thing in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe.

For him, the leap is a streamer effect that is difficult to calculate, and it feels like only a few seconds.

But now, on the contract number, what was discovered was the technology of self-built transition entry and exit points.

This is really awesome.

The transition point of the Marvel universe, like the wormhole, is a gift of nature. The laws of the universe say that there is only one, and that there is no one, and it does not exist forever, but will appear and disappear.

So people just have to adapt,

The process of developing the universe is often a process of finding the transition point and figuring out where the other end of the connection is. If there is really no place, it will really get stuck. Even the three major interstellar empires of the Marvel Universe do not have the ability to routinely sail across large galaxies, mainly because they cannot afford time.

And the self-built jump entry and exit point means another great progress in conquering nature. Whenever I want a shortcut, I can have it. This invention is not only for human beings, but also for all intelligent life in the universe.

Then Zhao Wenrui got stuck in his thoughts again. Who invented this technology? Could it be that the earth has been widely used? Otherwise, how would the crew on the Deed take it for granted?

But if it was actually invented by people on Earth and has begun to be widely used, it would be an even more exaggerated feat than the invention of nuclear bombs by human ancestors who just came down from the trees and knew how to use crude sticks to beat gophers on the grassland.

"Could it be a time traveler? Could it be that the alien world is built on a foundation that was ruined by the time traveler?"

To be honest, Zhao Wenrui felt that only this kind of speculation could be self-consistent. Because when the Alien series started, it was not that many years ago.

To be specific, the Nostromo commercial hauling spacecraft where Ripley is located returned to Earth from Star Sedus carrying 20 million tons of ore, which happened in 2122.

And look at the common sense of astronomy, the star closest to the solar system is Alpha Centauri C, the third star, 4.22 light-years away from the earth.

Therefore, without the leap technology, the transportation cost would be too high. It can only be transported like in {Avatar}, which transports 20 million tons of rare ore, and this account may be settled.

Therefore, the most self-consistent explanation is to have short-distance autonomous transition technology. Like checkers, jump by jump.

No matter who is responsible for this technology, it is there anyway.

From the perspective of the historical background, in the 1960s and 1970s, science and technology were changing with each passing day and advancing by leaps and bounds. The speed of its development has left countless people dumbfounded.

And the filmmakers, stimulated by the speed of technological development, wrongly estimated the speed of subsequent technological progress, thinking that it would be so fast in the future, and even continue to accelerate.

Because of this, science fiction films in the 1970s and even the 1980s overestimated the degree of technological prosperity in the future. Take the famous {Blade Runner} as an example, which was released in 1982 and described Los Angeles in 2019. Anyone who lives in 2019 knows that the technologies in {Blade Runner} will not be realized in another 100 years.

For example, the classic statement of the villain replicant when he was dying: "I have seen battleships burn at the end of Orion..."

This passage feels like a reminiscence description of a veteran who has fought a war to express that the replicants are born and died for human civilization, always doing the most dangerous things in the most dangerous places, but because of this, they have extraordinary experiences. Therefore, the quality of life From the perspective of human beings, human beings are not qualified to criticize the low-end of replicators.

But this also stated from the side the height of human civilization at that time, it definitely came from interstellar civilization, and it feels like the era of the Galaxy War.

This is 2019? I'm afraid I can't do it in 2219, right?

Later, in the 1990s and the beginning of the 21st century, the degree of correspondence between the era and the level of technology in science fiction movies dropped significantly, and it also made people feel more reliable. Of course, there are also those who are too down-to-earth and feel Low, like {Battle of Los Angeles}, and {Super Battleship}, it feels like the aliens have made some big junk and come here.

In general, {Alien 1} was released in 1979, which is at the end of the era when people overestimate the speed of technological development, so the technological background is too mysterious.

And a lie always needs more lies to complete. In order to let the story continue, we had to bite the bullet and blow it down.

Then in the prequel period, according to the deduction, there must be good interstellar navigation technology.

In fact, the first part of the prequel {Prometheus} has a similar problem, where is the heavenly star? Where is the Zeta solar system? Through the comparison of the ancient murals in the cave (discovered in 2089) and the real star map, it always feels far away, and it is indeed far away. Much farther than Alpha Centauri C.

The propulsion engine of the Prometheus, however, shows a level of plasma propulsion, and it is a typical working fluid engine. It does not even have the function of curvature navigation. It will take 4 years to fly to Paradise Star. How did it fly there? please explain.

Can't explain, don't explain. The following {Alien: Contract} is not explained, anyway, it is here.

But in reality, these must be self-consistent, and there must be a clear explanation, and it will not be unfounded.

In this way, the jump technology that independently opened up the jump point appeared, and Zhao Wenrui smiled, feeling that he really made a profit this time.

This technology immediately filled a major gap in interstellar navigation. Moreover, the overall level of technology he has mastered far exceeds this era.

This means that the technology that independently develops the transition point is equivalent to a branch of the technology tree that is not high-end, but just missed.

Now that there is a junior one, relying on the overall technological level he has mastered, he can quickly make up for this branch.

Then in the future, his interstellar ship can jump how and where he wants, and where he wants to jump. Basically, apart from the jump's requirements on the overall performance of the ship and the energy consumption, there is nothing that can restrict him from flying around the universe, which is awesome!

happy!

If he hadn't broken out these background details, who would have thought that such a simple immigrant starship, an enlarged version of Lego blocks, would have the interstellar navigation technology that would make Marvel's three interstellar empires willing to kneel and lick?

When Zhao Wenrui was happy, the contract number was naturally much happier.

Zhao Wenrui simply built a new ship for these homeless people of the new era. Although the size is slightly shorter, it is fuller and more functional overall.

The emigrants on the Deed completed the cabin change without realizing it, changing from a capsule to a capsule apartment similar to that in {Avatar} or {Fifth Element}.

Although they all seem to be capsule series, the hibernation mechanism is quite different, and there will never be a drama where the lid cannot be opened and the cremation will happen.

As for the protection of the second-generation human embryos, it is also much more advanced. It is cared for around the clock, and there is no need for a biochemical person like Walter to manually check it every once in a while.

Zhao Wenrui had no interest in the mechanical equipment and supplies used for pioneering and settling on the Contract, so they were all transferred to the new ship. He also added some easy-to-operate and high-performance equipment to further strengthen the pioneering ability of the immigrants.

And when all these were done, the New Contract took a group of T880s as assistants to the ship's AI, and headed towards the Orega 6.

In Zhao Wenrui's words: "In fact, they have nothing to do with this period of history. They are just background panels. There is no verbal props for a personal show. There is no need to deliberately stop at this station."

He also said to the crew of the Contract: "Next, you will use the modified Contract as a stage and tool to perform history. I believe that now you will feel a lot less pressure on your body. As for the future, I will You have all seen the shipbuilding capabilities of our fleet, and it is not difficult to build another small ship to send you to Orega 6, or even catch up with the New Contract."

Well, the crew on the Covenant admit that it does feel a lot less stressful now. There is no longer any burden of morality and professional integrity.

In fact, as Chris Oren's wife Karin said when she persuaded him in private, during the process of the immigration ship heading to the new settlement, Oren was the captain and had authority. Everyone should listen to him, but once it landed , the position will be automatically resigned. At least after starting to pioneer life in the new immigration point, he is just a neighbor of everyone, and the pioneering must be led by some professional counterparts, not a captain.

This statement also applies to all crew members. Their specialty is to make the starship go to the settlement as safely and smoothly as possible. When they reach the ground, their mission is completed. In the new stage, they are no longer leaders and backbones, but just one of them. It may even have to be pulled by others in life and work.

They also understand this, so when the task is almost completed ahead of schedule, their mentality has naturally changed a lot, and they have relaxed a lot. They just need to take care of themselves and each other now.

Although the progress was faster than planned, Zhao Wenrui still waited for 5 weeks before heading to the fourth star LV223.

But this time it was only the remodeled Contract, and the fleet did not accompany it.

The main reason is that Zhao Wenrui feels that if the fleet directly confronts the hostile reincarnation, it may happen that the cannonball will hit mosquitoes.

Therefore, he thinks that the fleet card is not suitable to be used directly.

And it is more suitable as a base that can produce non-stop, giving him various supporting backstage roles to use.

Of course, Zhao Wenrui also arranged some insurance measures to prevent himself from making the low-level mistake of the white dragon fish suit.

For example, now Milano has basically grasped the technology of establishing a transition point independently, which he calls "active transition", and is rapidly advancing to a higher stage.

For this purpose, a small experimental ship was also built.

And this ship is capable of undertaking emergency response tasks, jumping into place directly in a short distance, and then he leaves with it, and then makes a comeback.

In addition, he also has teleportation technology. This technology was used in the Hellgate Battle of the SC universe. Through the portal, the new ship engine was put in place in one step, and Lieutenant General Warfield's car Sandora was quickly repaired. Giant Battlecruiser.

Therefore, he can establish a stable and secret delivery station after landing, and supplies and cannon fodder can be continuously delivered.

He felt that such an arrangement was far more appropriate than a bunch of warships flying over, and then only being able to use the sky as a background board without finding any targets to attack.

He even thinks that the hostile reincarnators may have some good technology or extraordinary skills, which can detect starships at a relatively long distance.

Of course, this distance is calculated from a "human" point of view. According to his analysis, it is already very remarkable to be able to reach the detection range and sophistication of large ships of this era. Therefore, it should be safe for the fleet to stop on the outermost planet of the solar system.

All in all, since the main god always came here to show his anger and lack of confidence, he felt that he was escorted by a fleet, and it would be a difficult task to PK with the hostile reincarnation. Then he has reason to believe that the hostile reincarnation should have a higher advantage in terms of combat power or general situation.

But now, from the perspective of the mission, the gentlemen of the contract number should have played the leading role in this chapter, at least a big ticket for the main supporting role (David is the real protagonist), so it was so easily given to him. He thinks , either because the combat power of the hostile reincarnation is really strong; or, the opponent has done some extraordinary things in LV223.

For example, assisting David in the evolution of aliens has developed a mature alien social system centered on the empress. And there is no shortage of rations, and the quantity is large.

For another example, revitalize the engineer family, or find a group of hidden ones, create a large branch, and greatly reverse the future evolution.

This second speculation is also entirely possible. After all, according to the relevant response in {Alien: Covenant}, David dropped the black water bottle from the sky, and what was finally settled was nothing more than a city with a giant square where starships could be parked.

Based on Zhao Wenrui's recollection of the scene at that time, there were actually only a few tens of thousands of people, at most more than a hundred thousand. So when David was on the boat, tears filled his eyes with excitement, watching the scene of death falling from the sky, and lamenting his mentality of killing feats that surpassed the emperor level, it was really a little petty that he had never seen in the market.

In the last world, the Fleet of the First Order blocked the G star fleet. Each of the large starships of the G star was definitely carrying more than a hundred people. 20,000 ships meant that at least 2 million G stars were light and strong. Because of the G star fleet’s Feeling the thrill of mass human massacres?

Humans on earth were invaded by the fleet of G-stars, and more people died in more than two years. G-stars finally threw disaster-level weapons, causing large-scale environmental disasters, and many people died. It is definitely calculated in billions. Is he moved?

So, David is still young in some respects. But it also highlights his morbidity, just like a teenager who killed several adults in a family with bloody and cunning methods. It is no longer possible to describe his mentality with pure youth and ignorance.

Since only one city was destroyed, even if the biochemical virus like Blackwater erodes all flesh and blood targets as David himself explained in the middle of {Alien: Contract}. But engineers in other cities around the world still have time to respond. Moreover, this biochemical weapon itself was invented by a family of engineers to deal with human beings.

It is likely that Tiantian Star was used as a production workshop and weapon base because it was considered too dangerous at the beginning. And then lost contact for some unknown reason. Therefore, when Elizabeth Xiao and David arrived, so many engineers spontaneously gathered in the giant square to greet them.

In addition to the fact that this mission should be relatively high-end and sacred, it may also cause the civilization of the engineer family to decline severely due to the passage of time, and from the heaven star, or the same family who returned from the earth after completing the extinction mission, means that they still have more Advanced technology can restore the civilization of the engineer family to a certain extent, so the people of the engineering family feel that there is hope for the future, so they ran out to welcome this return.

Therefore, this planet finally became dead and silent. The overall victory of biological and chemical weapons did have its reasons for victory, but there is no guarantee that the engineer family will be absolutely extinct, and there is no follow-up means for the continuation of the race, such as a closed underground Living in the environment and so on.

In short, there may be some, and with the strength of the reincarnation, it is entirely possible to dig out these engineers who have become gophers.

Then, based on this, he made a series of big things and established a great advantage. The general pattern is similar to the later relationship between him and those rival reincarnations in the last world. This may be what he has to face Case.

That's why he thinks that this time either the enemy is strong and he is at risk of being counterattacked, or the enemy has already grasped the general trend that will affect the future, making him, or his boss, very passive in this world.

Regardless of which one, it is obviously not easy to do, so this time he can't expect to go directly to A, or to see a good harvest, but should use power cautiously, observe, test, and then find the winning Chance.

The Magic Modified Contract enters a relatively static mode on the orbit of LV223, and then the Magic Modified shuttle launches to the surface of the planet.

There are still thick cumulonimbus clouds in the sky, and the thunder is shining, but the shuttle is very stable, coupled with the protective effect of the new power armor suit, people basically don't feel it.

The exploration team is basically those people, Lopp, Leward, Hallett, this is the security trio, Cole, Encore, Rosie, these are technicians, who usually deal with various machines, and now they have become main force.

Then there is Captain Oren, his wife Karin, Daniels, and the cyborg Walter.

Oren plays the team leader, Karin is the biological expert and medical officer, and Daniels is the deputy team and survival expert. After all, she and her husband Jacob Branson have been preparing the longest, and they also have experience in wild survival. Richer experience. Walter is the guide.

Faris is the driver of the shuttle, responsible for guarding the house, maintaining the shuttle, and acting as a communication relay.

After all, the communication equipment on the shuttle is at least at the high-power radio level, which is much more powerful than that of individual soldiers, and it is easier to get in touch with the contract number on the orbit.

This is the original team configuration, and now, Zhao Wenrui has replaced Cole.

He had also thought about who to replace.

The Oren quartet can't move, there are many scenes, and the characters are more prominent.

The security trio seems to be active, but in fact they are not suitable.

Because people who eat violence, in the eyes of caring people, can see the difference between them and ordinary people at a few glances, and their body language and small movements when walking, sitting and sleeping are different.

Then all that's left is Mechanics Rosie and Ann and Cole.

In the entire expedition, there were relatively few female members, just three, Oren's wife Karin, widow Daniels, and Rosie.

So Rosie can't take it either.

Choose one from Encore and Cole.

These two played soy sauce roles throughout {Alien: Covenant}, and the shots about them always flashed by, and incidents happened, and there were no special close-ups of expressions, no faces, no lines, and live props in human form. Watched the movie several times without noticing it.

Especially Cole, Encore still repaired the energy sail with Tennessee in space, Cole was more thorough.

And in the series of emergency training previously arranged, Encore performed better.

Of course, the biggest loophole of the expedition team today is actually the planetary armor-level power armor suit and weaponry. It's too aggressive, and it's not as obvious as the Star Marines in the SC Universe. This style doesn't match the Contract and the shuttle at all. Has the visual difference of Walking Out of the Circus on Air Force One.

However, Zhao Wenrui solved this problem with a holographic projection device, which can perfectly deceive the vision.

The mimic device can simulate human body temperature, internal structure, body fluid flow, etc., so ordinary thermal sensors and other equipment can't detect abnormalities.

Extraordinary abilities are possible.

But the scope of application of extraordinary ability is generally relatively close.

At least in Zhao Wenrui's view, if someone uses extraordinary ability to investigate, but he finds out but the distance is too far, so that he has no time to make any effective response, then this mission might as well give up.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and the result of the reluctance was that he fell to some extent. Why bother.

His points from the last mission world have not been moved yet, and he has saved a little before, which is probably enough to pay the punishment for mission failure.

And if the Lord God insisted on killing him because of this, it would break the tacit understanding between the two, and he would just use his remaining hands to terminate the contract. Could it be that the Lord God is still hunting him down? How much hatred, how much resentment?

So Zhao Wenrui's thinking is relatively clear.

The landing point of the shuttle was still the beachhead of the original history. Before everyone got off the shuttle, Zhao Wenrui told them one last time:

"Two points, you can proceed according to the usual exploration ideas. Confirm the approximate location of the signal source, and then walk over, that's all. As for the possible danger, you should have a grasp of the advanced level of the current equipment , I hope I can have some confidence, not to mention me, so don’t be too shy, just treat it as an ordinary trek.”

"Second point, Faris is still alone, so he must pay attention to Captain Oren's instructions this time. Don't ignore the order to abide by the safety protocol and lock the hatch. There are some problems with the original equipment. Just check it, then return to the shuttle, pay attention to vigilance."

Everyone nodded, expressing their understanding.

And so the process begins.

A group of people got off the shuttle and waded to the beach. Walter determined the location of the signal source and began to trek.

Not long after, wheat with unusually large grains was discovered, and it was judged to be a mutated species planted by humans.

In the original history, Karin even took a sip directly. Just because of the feature that the ears of wheat co-exist with long grass can be extraordinarily plump and huge, it is far stronger than ordinary genetically modified ones.

Then, after walking for a while, not very far from the shuttle, there is a wild beach at the foot of the mountain, where Karin's scene comes, and she is going to conduct ecological testing here.

It was only at this time that I started to do ecological testing. I was still a biologist. I didn’t know where the confidence came from before, and I breathed and contacted wantonly. Don’t you know what dust is?

Since Karin had good reasons for splitting up, Oren asked Sergeant Lopp to arrange a guard, and Lopp ordered LeWold.

Lyward was the first unlucky person in this original history. He used the excuse of peeing to smoke to relax, but stepped on some bouncy ball-like fungus-like plants, accumulating dust-like spores.

Then he sat down to rest nearby, and because of the sufficient light, when he sat down, he saw these reflective tiny black fragments floating in the air like floating dust.

But he didn't take it seriously, and breathed out easily through the eye sockets, and then turned his attention elsewhere.

As a result, the black fragments gathered in front of it, circled in a small circle like a jellyfish, penetrated into his ear canal, and penetrated into the skin.

At this time, Karin just called out, and Leward responded, picked his itchy ears with his fingers, flicked off the cigarette, and joined Karin.

Those black fragments are actually a variant of the biological weapon Blackwater.

When all the flesh and blood beings in this world are dealt with by biochemical weapons, these weapons are organically combined with some plants, like flounder lurking in the sea sand patiently waiting for passers-by.

After a period of time, Leward had obvious symptoms. He couldn't hold it anymore, but the security personnel were generally rough. He thought it was just a temporary problem, and he just needed to rest.

Karin has experience, by looking at her face and pupils, she knew that Leward was in trouble, so she notified Oren.

Oren and the others had already entered the spaceship of the engineer family used by Elizabeth Shaw and David to LV223.

After receiving the news, they returned immediately, and then outside the crashed spaceship, another member of the security trio, Tom Hallett, also showed obvious discomfort and weakness, fell and couldn't climb up. stand up.

Generally speaking, the two members of the security trio seemed careless and lacked respect for unfamiliar environments, so they were the first to be recruited.

As for how to act now, this Zhao Wenrui said early on that unless he called a stop, he would play a full set of plays, and even if the group had forgotten something, he would remind them in due course.

In fact, Zhao Wenrui's main purpose is to lure the snake out of the hole. He doesn't like opponents waiting for an opportunity in the dark and launching a surprise attack. That kind of situation would be very dangerous, especially if the hostile reincarnation itself is likely to be powerful, and if there is a surprise attack, the probability that he will suffer badly or even be taken away by a set is extremely high.

But at this stage, it depends on the patience of the other party.

Of course, there may be other plans.

However, after he has gone through the process, he will not just go through the process, but will have some arrangements.

So if the enemy doesn't move, he will gain an inch.

After we separated from Karin, we agreed to meet up in four hours.

In fact, including Leward's accident and Karin's emergency call for help, the overall expedition took about the same amount of time, or even a little longer.

Because when the group rushed back to the vicinity of the shuttle, it was already dark.

According to the usual logic, it should be earlier, return in the evening, and then return to the Covenant to spend the night, not in the shuttle, or on the surface.

But this time, Zhao Wenrui and his party also pressed the time point, but only slightly faster.

In fact, because of the power armor suit, they can be much faster, and now it's a bit like traveling around. Not tired, you can set aside more energy to do other things.

Of course, knowing what happened in advance made people a little frightened, and they didn't have much mood to enjoy the scenery. Especially the situation along the road was exactly the same as what Zhao Wenrui described at the beginning, which made them believe even more that what Zhao Wenrui said should be true.

After seeing a lot of cut trees, and then climbed a big slope, the ship of the engineer family finally came into people's sight.

Zhao Wenrui smiled silently. He felt that his opponent was really calm this time, and he didn't notice anything unusual along the way.

Of course, this does not mean that the other party did not pay attention to the expedition of the contract number and his party.

He estimated that the enemy reincarnation might be observing secretly through equipment, but he had no intention of approaching it for the time being.
