Chapter 1581 Might Have Caused Trouble
Nolan was also shocked after hearing the news. She also didn't expect that Zhuomu would accidentally receive such a bunch of signals from deep space after arriving here - and for Hao Ren's speculation and Lenovo, although Miss Kanniang has reservations, she also feels that this matter is not a simple coincidence.
Maybe it really has something to do with the super giant antenna in orbit...
So the remote thinking array that had just been quiet suddenly became lively again. Various giant facilities made a low hum of energy flow switching, and swarms of autonomous machinery and engineering drones flew out of the Gnaku where they were resting. , began to physically connect the remote mind array and the crystal resonance antenna. The outpost itself was also affected: the lights in some areas were temporarily turned off, and the base broadcast also sounded a notice of energy control and temporary closure of some areas.
This is because all the facilities here are temporary construction, and there has never been any experience in designing such a base before. Therefore, many things only meet the needs of their own operation and are more or less useless in the face of unexpected situations. Inconvenience - No one has ever thought that Drom's remote thinking array needs to be connected to the large antenna used to search for signals. Therefore, when connecting the two systems, one of the energy modules had to be temporarily shut down. As a result, the outpost Part of the energy of the reactor had to be transferred to the remote thinking array.
Fortunately, this emergency process does not take too long. After the physical docking of the two systems is completed, the energy control computer quickly completes the calculation of the system coupling requirements and resets the operating parameters of the two sets of energy modules. The outpost base The energy control lasted less than twenty minutes and ended.
However, the commotion here has alarmed the friends in the base. Lily was the first to run over in a hurry, and shouted loudly as soon as she showed up: "What's going on? What's going on?! What are we fighting with again?" Huh? I was typing in the house and suddenly the power went out - luckily I have a backup power supply..."
Vivian appeared next: she was making snacks in the kitchen before and didn't hear anything going on outside. She still saw Lily running outside screaming and followed her out to see the excitement. Then there were Mr. Yizhaks and Mr. and Mrs. Nangong, who came last. Gunmiao and Doudou did not appear.
The cat girl should be having an adventure in a corner of the base at this time. A slight change in light is completely common for a wild cat that has been wandering in a run-down ancient city since she was a child, and Doudou has already gone to sleep obediently.
"The signals received by Zhuomu..." Vivian was stunned for a moment after hearing what happened, and then looked at Hao Ren uncertainly, "Are you sure these communication signals are related to the crystal resonance we are doing? "
"Of course I'm not sure, I'm just guessing," Hao Ren spread his hands, "Zhuomu has just confirmed that what he hears is delayed by a few minutes at most, and it belongs to super-light communication, which means that those signals are not transmitted over a large number of times. The 'ghost radio waves' that have been lingering in the universe since they were sent out years ago were transmitted shortly after we turned on the antenna. These two things are put together, and it is difficult not to make connections."
Yzaks touched his chin: "Then judging from the contents of these communications, the crystal resonance signal we released caused huge trouble to the person who sent the communication... or even a crisis. Wait, is the antenna still running?"
This was the thing that made Hao Ren want to cry the most. He pinched his forehead and said, "The key is that it's not so easy to stop! The crystal resonance antenna looks very complicated, but in fact what we built is a giant antenna." And the energy array plus a shell. The real core component is the large crystal dug out from the core of the earth - and the operating principle of the crystal itself is not yet understood. What we are doing now is simply Poke the crystal, and then it will start to continuously release signals on its own. The system we built is just passively scanning for possible echoes in the universe..."
When Hao Ren explained the process, Yzaks understood what was going on: To put it bluntly, the crystal resonance antenna is made of two completely separated parts, and the one responsible for sending out the signal is the divine crystal. This thing is produced by the Goddess of Creation. Hao Ren's current research results on it are limited to knowing how to poke it so that it can send out a signal. However, the main antenna system that Nolan worked out can only receive passively and has no control over the crystal. …
Lily thought for a while and raised her hand: "...The communication Zhuo Mu received should be cursing her now, right?"
Hao Ren sighed: "There has been no movement for a while. Maybe he gave up the treatment. Of course, it may also be..."
He was interrupted by Vivian before he could say the second half of his sentence: "The person who sent the communication should not be in trouble yet - since the communication they sent can be received by Drom, then they should have been there and we can observe it. Within the range, at least not too far. The guy who has the ability to communicate at super-light speed and is still surviving in this X star cluster is definitely not simple. Even if he is really attacked by something, he will not be able to make any movement. come out."
"Well, that makes sense." Hao Ren felt somewhat reassured after hearing Vivian's analysis. He nodded lightly, "Currently, our various antennas cannot receive this communication signal, and Zhuomu's 'function' It is limited, so we can receive the signal but cannot determine the location of the other party. Now I have connected the data processing center of the remote thinking array and the antenna array. If everything goes well, maybe we can make the two systems work together to lock the signal source. "
This is the only thing that can be done now, but Hao Ren is not willing to just wait - while trying to search for the source of the signal, he issued combat readiness instructions to the drone groups in the nearby area, and all the armed forces that had just walked off the production line The drones are gathering towards the agent's home planet, while the engineering drones have dragged components from nearby nests and assembled a huge jump acceleration orbit over the home star.
Once the signal source is locked, Hao Ren can guarantee that the drone army will be pushed over in the shortest possible time no matter what emergency occurs there.
In this weird ancient galaxy, a swarm of drones means safety.
"What kind of trouble do you think those who sent the communication encountered?" After finally being free, Vivian asked Hao Ren his opinion on this matter.
"There is too little information, there are only a few communications that came over by chance, and nothing can be analyzed at all." Hao Ren shook his head, "But judging from those few sentences... the person who sent the communication is trying his best to avoid signals from the outside world. Communication, because crystal resonance signals are forced to be bidirectional, and when we send signals to them, they will inevitably generate feedback signals. Although I don’t know why the antenna system we built cannot receive feedback signals from space, but this The process definitely exists. So it is very likely that our 'calling' behavior caused the other party's communication silence to be broken."
"Are you trying your best to avoid exposing your own signals..." Vivian thought thoughtfully, "Are you fleeing or hiding?"
Hao Ren looked solemn and looked up at the stars: "Nine times out of ten, this is the case."
At the same moment, deep in the stars beyond the reach of the eye, an extremely huge space floating object was flying in the dark space.
The shape of this behemoth is like an irregular short cone. One end of the cone is a broad curved surface, and the other end is a fragmented tip. The cone-shaped section is covered with twisted tears. The cracks and broken pipes looked like they had been torn from something larger.
If you are an experienced space adventurer, you will be able to tell that this is actually a planet fragment the moment you see it - from the curvature of its upper surface and the length of the entire cone fragment, you can roughly judge that it is probably A one-third-sized portion torn off a planet.
This huge planetary debris is floating in space, but it is not a lifeless mass of darkness. In fact, its surface is dotted with large and small light sources, and these light sources make the entire debris bright. On the "surface" part of the planet fragments, you can clearly see a large number of obvious man-made traces: there are many cannon-like towers erected on the ground, and magnificent palaces and cities are built around these towers. In addition to man-made structures, you can even see vast jungles and grasslands - they are so lush and vibrant that it is completely unimaginable that these things actually exist on a fragment of a celestial body that is wandering in the universe.
Obviously, the light source and life-support environment created by the artificial facilities left by the celestial fragments preserved these plants.
Although the "surface" of the planetary fragments can still be called vibrant, other parts of it are not so optimistic: a large number of torn and collapsed structures can be seen on the edge of the surface, and the earth's crust collapses shatteringly, exposing the deep layers that have been destroyed. Pipes and mechanical facilities that lost their function, huge electric arcs traveled on the surface of the cone-shaped base of the celestial fragments, constantly causing small-scale explosions and fires, sparks flying in some places, and material leakage even occurred in some places: such as Something like a smoke cloud erupted from the lower part of the planetary fragment, shrouding the tail of the entire cone-shaped structure in mist.
There is a vast grassland in the center of this "space floating island". There is an ancient gathering place in the center of the grassland. Huge metal obelisks are arranged in a ring. The center of the obelisk is enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people. Metal platform.
At this moment, on this metal platform from the previous era, a large group of strange creatures with shimmering bodies were gathering together, noisily discussing things. These creatures have a body and appearance similar to that of elves, but their entire body has a transparent texture that is almost spiritual. It is difficult for them to distinguish between men and women. They wear almost indistinguishable clothes that look like spiritual bodies, and their bodies and clothes are emitting odors. Emitting a soft halo, these "goblins" gathered together in large groups, jumping with bright electric arcs among each other, and their arguments were as crackling and unstructured as these arcs:
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die this time! Those people are still sending signals!"
"Our shielding interference has exceeded the limit! If we can't control it at all, we will be exposed!"
"You are stupid, we have been exposed! We have been exposed for two hours!"
"It's obviously three hours!"
"A few hours doesn't matter at all! Those bad guys are coming and that's the most important thing!"
"We can't fight, we can't fight, we don't even have a usable cannon..."
"Aren't there a lot of cannons outside the Great Plains..."
"You're stupid! It's all broken, it's all broken! There's nothing you can do now even if the Guardian Titan is still alive!"
"What should we do? What should we do? The goddess created us and gave us a task, and we are going to mess it up!"
"That's right, where's the queen? Let the queen come out quickly and come up with an idea!"
"The Queen, the Queen, the Queen, the Queen..."
"..."
"...It's over! We don't have a queen!"
"Death, death, death, death..."
