Chapter 323 What Is This?
The Giant Turtle Yantai is a prosecutor's official ship, and every detail is specially tailored for the special profession of prosecutor - to put it bluntly, it does what it wants, and although everything is sparse, it is It has everything, perfectly fitting every captain’s daily grind of running around doing chores. This ship has a container compartment that is not too big but enough to store small quantities of cargo, a self-defense artillery that is not too powerful but enough to kill any mortal, and a shipboard factory that is not too complete but can basically produce all kinds of necessary items. Of course there is also a cabin for scientific research. Thanks to the advanced space expansion technology, this spaceship, which looks only a few hundred meters long on the surface, is full of space. As one of the important cabin sections, the scientific research cabin is also quite spacious. The pile of junk that Hao Ren collected It doesn't take up much space at all if you throw it here.
It is said that he is studying the origin of the sacred artifact, but Hao Ren himself knows his level. He is not close to experts and scholars at all, and in most cases the examiners are not professional scientists, so this kind of scientific research cabin is basically They can complete various projects by themselves. Its analysis host and servo machinery will complete all assigned tasks. The only thing the captain has to do is to tell the analysis host what he wants to know, and to check it out after each project is completed. What exactly did the analysis of that pile of equipment reveal, just these two things. With the help of these devices, Hao Ren, a layman in all walks of life, could even brag to others, "I am working on a key project."
It's a pity that he can only brag about this to a vampire with abnormal brains-except for Vivian who has the patience, no one in the family has much interest in the Origin Artifact, and Lily would rather spend her energy on Cracking the recipe for spicy strips.
Vivian, Hesperius, Hao Ren, and Doudou, who was carried in Hao Ren's arms, arrived at the scientific research module of the Giant Turtle Platform through the newly installed transmission device in the basement. Among them, Hesperius She was no stranger to the "space teleportation array", but she had never seen anything like an alien laboratory that challenged her outlook. She found herself being teleported to a place full of strange equipment, with a large number of holographic projections floating in the air, and buzzing everywhere. After seeing the weird and noisy space, she was stunned for a long time as if she was sleepwalking. Then she grabbed Vivian's arm and asked nervously: "...What does this man named the landlord next to you do? Why do I feel more and more the more I look at it? Scary?"
"What's scary?" Vivian has seen the high-tech equipment on the spacecraft a few times, so she is just a little curious at this time. She knows that the things here may be surprising, but she doesn't think this is bright and neat. What's so scary about this place.
Hesperius looked at the wide test benches and the mechanical tentacles twisting slightly above the test benches: "I kind of regret watching movies made by humans... I always feel that you tricked me from Athens. The main purpose is to soak me in formalin..."
Vivian shook off her old friend's hand in a fit of laughter and tears: "I discovered one thing. After you finish your thinking, you talk nonsense more than before."
Hesperius was just surprised by the furnishings of the Giant Turtle Platform's scientific research cabin. If she had known that this strange laboratory was not even on Earth, who knows how surprised she would have been. However, her attitude towards this place should be limited to surprise: most of the older aliens are very slow to the concept of "high technology", and have a subtle misunderstanding. They do not understand, and do not bother to understand the recent progress of human beings. Of course, the technology developed over the years cannot distinguish these things, so Hesperius probably only thinks that this is an extremely advanced human laboratory in front of him. As for aliens and outer space... it is beyond her world view. .
The scientific research cabin is an oblong room. In addition to a circle of small general-purpose test benches along the wall, there are also three large analysis units distributed equidistantly along the central axis of the room. This analysis unit is a complete set of equipment that can handle most disassembly analysis work. It includes a gravity-free suspension platform, three sets of precision cutting devices, and several energy outputs/inputs including source energy converters. end, a large number of sensors and a large number of tentacles hanging above the unit. Of course, the scientific name of those tentacles is "general-purpose adaptive working arm", but Hao Ren felt that using tentacles to describe them is more appropriate.
Popular, easy to understand, vivid, vivid - and very picturesque.
The fragmented research samples were placed on a nearby small test bench for routine testing, while the Origin Artifact was placed on the analysis unit closest to the door. This weird device composed of a series of cylinders and ellipsoids has since been It remained silent after it was dismantled, as if it had lost power after leaving the temple. However, the analysis host has found the energy input end of the device. Now the analysis team is injecting energy into the "Origin Sacred Artifact" for the third time, and Watch as it gradually kicks into gear.
Hao Ren walked around the "Origin Sacred Artifact" and saw that part of its shell had been removed, including a large cylinder at its core. The complex structure inside the "Sacred Artifact" was exposed, and he could clearly see to see the suspicious pipes and containers.
The Holy Artifact of Origin is a magical creation with an exquisite structure. Its lower part has a large number of exquisite metal plates and crystal structures engraved with mysterious symbols. Those exquisite metal plates are like the circuit boards in electrical appliances, with regular shapes and precise unity. The "printing texture" is obviously the result of industrial production. The reason why the Origin Sacred Artifact is judged to be a magical creation is because preliminary analysis shows that the operation method of these metal plates is a typical magic array rather than a circuit diagram in a technological product. The difference between the two is obvious: most of the patterns on the circuit board are only Used to conduct energy, their functions are completed by various components connected to these circuits, and the lines of the magic array are the ontology of the functional components, which are depicted by using "writing materials" of different materials. Specific textures allow the circuit itself to function as a component and even produce more complex effects. This is the essential difference between the two.
This kind of thing coming from a technological system that is completely different from Earth's technology opened Hao Ren's eyes. In the Dream Plane, he had only seen the crude application methods of magic and alchemy products, but this one... obviously belonged to the magical civilization. High-tech”.
The crystal structures that are also engraved with runes are similar to metal plates. They should be more critical energy carriers, or have relatively high power when running, so they are made of different materials.
Between these delicate structures, you can see a large number of winding pipes running through them. These pipes are intricately intertwined, and most of them are connected to one place after being summarized several times: the center of the Origin Sacred Vessel, where There is a cylindrical container as tall as a person.
"I tried to activate it several times before, but because of the lack of core components, I could only let it run for a short time each time, and I couldn't tell what those pipelines were for." The data terminal has been connected to the analysis host. , now it is speaking on behalf of the analysis host, "However, the possibility of purification devices, water or other liquid synthesizers, climate modification devices, etc. is basically ruled out. The most likely thing now is: the Origin Sacred Artifact is a culture tank, a A culture equipment that combines the functions of synthesis, customization, shaping, and growth.”
The data terminal said, lightly touching the cylindrical container exposed after removing the back cover of the Origin Sacred Artifact: "And based on the size of this thing... it is most likely used to cultivate some kind of humanoid creature. of."
Vivian took a breath: "This sounds a bit evil."
"It's just a guess, it's just a guess." The data terminal controlled the tentacles above the analysis unit and removed several other protective plates from the edge of the Origin Artifact. "But the possibility of this guess is as high as 90% - this machine The 'holy vessel' has been used, and here is its 'feeding port'. Some residual substances were found here and in the large core container. Although it is severely denatured... it is definitely the residue of highly complex organic matter."
The analysis unit connected the general-purpose energy interface to certain crystalline protrusions inside the Origin Sacred Artifact, and directly injected appropriate energy into it. The Origin Sacred Artifact immediately emitted a low buzzing sound, and the metal plates in the casing and The crystal devices lighted up one by one, and at the same time, something like an operation panel lit up on the front, but what was refreshed on it were only strange symbols that kept repeating.
"The analysis host tries to crack the operating system, hoping to find the operating records of the Origin Artifact. However, these records should be stored on the missing components of this device - now the Origin Artifact only has a set of similar mechanical languages. The interactive interface, and because of the lack of key command sets, this interactive interface is completely useless, and all options are ineffective,” the data terminal said regretfully, “But even these ineffective options have revealed some truths. They There are words such as 'growth acceleration, emergency inactivation, writing innate memory, injecting thinking', etc., which is completely consistent with the conjecture that the origin of the sacred artifact is a humanoid biosynthetic machine."
Hao Ren felt an inexplicable chill in his body: "Synthetic humanoid creature...who did it synthesize?"
The data terminal shook its body: "Who knows, the most critical thing is gone, so we are completely unable to determine what it will put together in what way, and what kind of finished product it will produce in the end - it seems that we only got There is a pile of empty test tubes, and we can only judge based on the model of the test tubes that they are used for chemical experiments, but we did not get the most critical formula."
"Actually, I have an idea..." Hesperius suddenly whispered, "I heard Vivian say that you snatched this thing from Beshemoth, right?" Saint of Origin The name "Qi" was also given by him - the word "origin" itself has profound meaning."
A lot of thoughts in Hao Ren's head were spinning uncontrollably. He suddenly felt that a lot of things he had mastered before seemed to be shaken, and even his long-standing speculations about the relationship between aliens and the dream plane were overturned. Come!
The old shadow demon of Beshemoth, who has mastered many forbidden knowledge, named this ancient device used to synthesize humanoid creatures "Origin"...
Could it be that the aliens on Earth are not people who traveled thousands of years ago, but... were synthesized in large quantities by this device? !
