Chapter 296 Clostar, Viscount Geraint

"Is it about work?"

Liu Xuewei put away her phone, came to Su Xin's side, and asked curiously.

The mountain breeze was so noisy that she didn't hear what Su Xin said just now. She just saw Su Xin's expression and guessed that it was about work.

"Yes, the Academy of Astronomical Science has cracked some alien technology, but it's not a big deal. It's not as important as our tourism."

Liu Xuewei glanced at him, walked over and snuggled into his arms, saying warmly:

"Alien technology is not a trivial matter. The company took the initiative to call and report, which shows that this matter is very important. Let's go back. After playing for a month, I am very satisfied."

"Well... let's go back in a few days and then return after the next stop."

"That's fine."

After saying that, the two embraced each other at the top of Mount Everest, which is more than 8,000 meters high.

The cold wind like a knife howled wantonly.

Large tracts of snowflakes were flying all over the sky.

Various flags were fluttering in the wind all around.

It was as if they were the only two people left in the whole world. Although the environment was very noisy, their hearts were extremely peaceful and peaceful.

ten minutes later.

Liu Qingli looked at the setting sun in the distance and suggested: "It's almost time, let's go down."

"Okay, hold me tight."

Su Xin said, hugged Liu Xuewei tightly in his arms, and jumped out of the cliff.

The dark green Tianlong cells spread rapidly on his body, and soon they were outlined in the shape of a pair of gliders, tightly wrapped around his body surface.

The two people's falling bodies were immediately lifted up by the strong wind, and they flew freely in the sky.

The form of the Tianlong cells can be combined as desired, whether it is a battle armor, ordinary clothes, or a glider. As long as Su Xin designs it in advance and saves it in the control center, it can be formed with a single thought.

Therefore, after Su Xin became completely familiar with flying, he tried to develop a variety of forms during travel, targeting different situations.

Hang gliding is one of them.

Compared with the flying function of the Tianlong Armor, the glider is more labor-saving and does not require jets. You only need to constantly adjust the angle of the glider according to the wind direction, and you can fly freely in the sky.

You can even carry various things with you.

Theoretically, as long as there are sufficient nutrient blocks as supplies, Su Xin can fly in the sky with heavy objects for three days and three nights.

…

A week later.

Tianqi Group Headquarters Park.

Su and Xin, who had been on vacation for more than a month, returned to the company.

Liu Xuewei returned to her post immediately.

Although she occasionally handles matters remotely when traveling and does not completely abandon work, there are many things that need to be dealt with in person.

After accumulating work for so long, Liu Xuewei seemed very busy on her first day at work.

Su Xin came to the floor of Tianke Academy.

"boss!"

A middle-aged man with slightly messy hair was waiting at the door. When he saw Su Xin, he immediately came forward excitedly.

"Thank you, maester."

Su Xin nodded and said hello.

He recognized the person at a glance. His name was Xie Zhizhu. He was a thirteenth-level astronomical scholar who was promoted last year. He was good at communications and data processing and was one of the top talents in the entire Tianke Academy.

In addition to serving as a senior R&D staff member at Tianqi Communications Company, Xie Zhizhu is also the chief researcher of the project to crack the spherical camera.

"Just take me there."

After Su Xin returned to work, his words and deeds became more resolute, and he and Xie Zhizhu came to a spacious research room.

After putting on protective clothing, disinfecting and dusting, the two entered the research room together.

"boss!"

"boss!"

Seeing Su Xin's figure, everyone greeted him respectfully.

"Hello everyone."

Su Xin smiled and said hello, then his eyes fell on a tray on the experimental table.

There was a black spherical instrument the size of a baby's fist placed inside. Part of its shell had been disassembled, and the exposed parts and interfaces had more than a dozen small wire harnesses connected to various surrounding instruments.

On the side, Xie Zhizhu said:

"Its internal structure is too complicated. In order to avoid damage to the internal parts, we carefully used ultrasonic and other methods to detect the internal structure before disassembling it bit by bit."

"So the wiring and structure inside it have not been damaged at all."

“Over the course of the year, we tried a variety of options to get it started, but we never succeeded.”

"Later, we tried to use external energy sources, tried to adjust its internal wiring connection method little by little, and tried to adjust the input voltage and current parameters again and again."

"Today, I finally succeeded!"

Xie Zhizhu's face was full of excitement and he gave instructions to another researcher, who immediately started operating on the operating table nearby.

Quietly.

A translucent energy shield emerged on the surface of the compact spherical camera, reflecting the dense light.

The air was slightly distorted.

The photographic equipment inside looked vaguely unreal.

This looks similar to the energy shield on the surface of the alien Iris spacecraft, but the size is different.

Su Xin exclaimed: "Awesome!"

"To be able to equip such a small piece of photography equipment with an energy shield function is really the pinnacle of Kloxing's technology."

You know, Alien's photography equipment is only the size of a baby's fist. In such a small size, in addition to the most basic high-speed high-definition shooting and data transmission functions, it also has the function of free flight, which is exaggerated.

Coupled with the energy shield function, it is a technological level beyond human imagination.

Moreover, being able to maintain the energy shield at least shows that the energy source is not bad, at least it is a battery with ultra-high energy density.

Such a magical product, if the technology contained in it is completely cracked, will definitely bring human technology to a higher level, and many key technologies can find the way forward.

With that said, Su Xin looked at Xie Zhizhu: "By the way, have you tested its defense power?"

"Not yet. We only successfully activated its energy shield last week. We don't dare to test it rashly for fear of causing some malfunction."

Su Xin nodded slightly: "That's right. The energy shield activated by external energy may be just a fake. If the attack causes the energy shield's activation device to be damaged, it will be troublesome."

"In addition to the energy shield, what other progress has been made in the project?"

Xie Zhizhu smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Basically no progress."

"The main reason is that this camera is too precious. There is only one like this in the world. We dare not destroy it at will. However, the parts inside it are all individually modular and sealed. They cannot be opened directly. Each part must be carefully studied. Only then did I dare to cut open its shell bit by bit."

"Moreover, the appearance design style of aliens is completely different from ours. It is impossible to distinguish which part is used for what purpose based on the appearance."

"What we are currently doing is to first figure out the functions of each component, and then study them in a targeted manner."

"The only thing that can be confirmed now is the energy shield excitation device, which is the small black sphere we labeled 1, that's it."

As he spoke, Xie Zhizhu pointed to a small black sphere in the center of the spherical camera.

The sphere is only the size of a thumb. There are several very thin wires extending out of the black shell. There is no gap at the interface. It is as if these wires are tentacles growing on the black sphere. The entire sphere and these wires look integrated.

Su Xin glanced in the direction of his finger and nodded casually:

"In the next period of time, I will accompany you to research and crack the technology of spherical photography equipment as soon as possible. These should have a great driving effect on Blue Star's technological progress."

Hearing this, Xie Zhizhu and other researchers on the side were overjoyed.

"That's great. With the boss personally taking action, it won't take long for a mere piece of alien photography equipment to be completely cracked."

"It's great that we can also have alien energy shield technology!"

"Not only the energy shield, we can also learn to crack and learn all other technologies."

Many researchers who were in ecstasy had no idea that when they used external energy to activate the spherical photography equipment a week ago, they not only inadvertently activated the energy shield device, but also inadvertently activated another device.

Some kind of strange fluctuations spread silently toward the distant stars in the universe.

…

The vast starry sky.

A dazzling nebula composed of countless stars silently revolves around the center. The overall appearance has a dreamlike beauty and a grandeur that swallows the entire universe.

One of the earth-yellow planets has several large space stations floating in the outer space. From time to time, some spaceships enter or leave the planet, flying silently into the vast starry sky.

In addition to serving as ports, these space stations also have signal relay stations dedicated to starry sky communications, which transmit signal data from the planet to the starry sky, or receive signals from the starry sky and then transmit them to the interior of the planet.

At this time, inside one of the space stations.

Several humanoid alien creatures that looked similar to Iris and were covered in dark green scales were sitting at attention in front of the console.

Groups of data flashed quickly from the huge screen in front of several people.

"Huh? This is..."

One of the Black Scale Tribe's expressions changed, and he immediately reported to another taller Black Scale Tribe sitting next to him:

"Captain, we just received a signal from Iris's private spacecraft."

"Iris? Are you talking about Viscount Geraint's brother Iris?"

The tall Black Scale Clan looked slightly surprised.

"Yes."

The Black Scale Tribe responded: "The signal came from a strange star field about 8,500 light-years away. It was just a small string of meaningless garbled characters that seemed to be triggered unintentionally."

The tall captain of the Black Scale Tribe thought for a while and said: "Continue working, send me all the content, and I will report it right away."

After saying that, the captain of the Black Scale Tribe turned around and left, quickly entered a smaller communication room, stood in a circular area, and said:

"Please contact Viscount Geraint for me."

"OK."

A mechanical voice responded.

Soon, the big screen in front of him lit up.

A Black Scale Clan member with a gloomy face and arrogant and indifferent eyes appeared on the screen.

"I have met the Viscount!"

The captain bowed respectfully.

The other side of the video screen.

Viscount Geraint sat casually on a luxurious seat and glanced at the fully virtual projection of the captain in front of him.

"Say it."

"The communication station just received a signal from Iris' personal spacecraft. It was a series of meaningless garbled codes. The signal originated from an unfamiliar star field 8,500 light-years away."

"Aerys?"

Viscount Geraint looked surprised.

Then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's been more than a hundred years. I didn't expect to hear news about him again. It's really surprising!"

He looked at the projection of the communication station captain who was still bowing, and said lightly:

"Send me all the coordinates and other information, and don't worry about the rest."

"yes."

The captain responded.

The virtual projection flickered for a moment and then suddenly disappeared.

Viscount Geraint leaned back in his chair, and the chair suspended half a meter above the ground floated silently to the window. A magnificent aerial view of a bustling technological city came into view.

If any Blue Star people appeared here and saw the scene in the city, they would definitely exclaim - this is the ideal future city of Blue Star humans.

I saw row after row of exquisite and compact vehicles, traveling along specific trajectories and heights in the air, seemingly in order.

Below are buildings that are not too tall but have a sci-fi aesthetic.

The building where Geraint is located is one of the few tall buildings in the entire city.

"After disappearing for more than a hundred years, a meaningless signal suddenly came out today. It seemed like it was triggered unintentionally."

Geraint smiled thoughtfully.

"Either it is a trap set deliberately."

"Either, Aerys's ship was captured and someone tried to decipher the signal."

"hehe!"

"More than a hundred years have passed. Everything is a foregone conclusion. Even if you come back, it will be useless. You no longer pose any threat to me."

“However, to cut the grass, we must remove the roots.”

"Whether you want to lure me over or you have been captured, I will not let you continue to live."

Geraint looked coldly and ordered:

"Call Aldo."

"OK."

A mechanized sound came from the suspended seat.

Soon, hazy light was projected from under the armrests on both sides of the seat, forming a virtual projection of the Black Scale people not far in front.

"I have met the Viscount!"

"I'll send you the coordinates. You take a combat team there, try to find my brother Aerys, and then eliminate him."

"Yes! Lord Viscount!"

The projection of the Black Scale Clan named Aldo bowed, and the projection disappeared immediately.

It didn't take long.

Three disc-shaped spaceships took off from the planet Kro and sailed into the endless starry sky.

"The distance is about 8,500 light years, and it is expected to take about four years. It will take a long time. Everyone should take turns entering the dormant chamber."

After Aldo gave the order, twenty of the thirty Black Scale people on the three spaceships entered the dormant cabin one after another.
