Xiling Empire Chapter 1534: Set sail

Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!

Continuous noise and noise have replaced the normal picture and sound of the communicator, and the signal from the deep diving vessel was suddenly interrupted.

All the monitoring equipment of the control center has lost the signal source. Only the gray and black twisted patterns remain on the central Hologram projection. The disturbing alarm sounds seem to be blank for a second before it sounds in the hall: "Warning! Lost dive boat! Warning! Lost dive boat! "

The emergency team responded immediately and went to check the system of the control center and the various contacts equipment deployed in space. The base host began to activate a spare signal tower to enhance the connection to the deep submersible ship. surroundings's suppression tower erupted into a bright glow, forming a large piece of amorous halo: This is to prevent the violent movements inside the gate of the abyss, causing the entire port to explode.

And I fell into a daze for a moment: in a millisecond, nothing was there?

At one moment, the old man was still happily sharing with us what he saw on the communicator, admiring the superior performance of the new ship. In the next moment, the whole ship disappeared completely on all channels?

The sound of Tavel's sounded in the hall broadcast, calm and powerful: "Keep calm! Communication group do n’t give up tracking, increase antenna strength, turn on all spare channels, the communication system of the deep diving ship may fall to other frequency bands. Main The system monitoring team immediately sorted out all the exchanged data from 30 minutes ago to the present to see if the abyss pollution is blocking the channel. The 'gatekeeper' force immediately went to check the telemetry equipment near the gate. The disaster management team boarded the spare deep-dive ship and laid a beacon inside the gate! "

Clear and effective instructions are sent to everyone through the lobby broadcast. Fortunately, the talent of Xiling Apostle can keep them calm in the face of any emergencies, and the expert group began to implement the accident plan without wasting even a second of time. . However, with the enhancement of the communication array signal and the widening of the frequency spectrum, the deep submersible vessel remains invisible, and all the communicators only have clutter.

I noticed that Shandora's's eyes changed rapidly, but she also remained calm. Although there were deep concerns in her eyes, she still waited until Tavel issued the emergency order before calmly asking: "What's going on? Signal Why was it suddenly interrupted? "

Shandora did not rashly ask "Is the deep submersible ship destroyed?" On the one hand, no one wants to think in this direction, on the other hand, the new deep submersible ship itself is extremely strong, and various new technologies are also being carried out. The together was integrated after many simulation tests. Even the old deep-sea submersible ship can hover around the discontinuous zone for several hours, and the new ship's viability is unreasonably worse.

"Unsure, the signal source is suddenly lost, it may be forcibly shielded by some factor, or the communication system of the deep submersible ship has been contaminated by the abyss and self-destructed, or it may be some kind of" information deflection "effect, resulting in The signal sent by the deep submarine cannot be understood by the order World, "Tavel also did not mention the possibility that the deep submarine has been destroyed, but simply analyzed the possible causes of the signal loss." These accidents have not happened, but they are all possible in the abyss environment. What is happening. We are turning on all the backup communication antennas. If the mainboard of the deep submersible ship is not directly down, they should have made similar attempts there. The signal can always be restored. "

"Even if a catastrophic accident will not cause spaceship to collapse instantaneously," Abyss Xiling added, "We have tested and used the highest concentration of theoretically abyss pollution to impact Joint I, even in that case. spaceship can also last for at least 20 minutes, and will not disappear in the blink of an eye like now ... The new ship is can do nothing about it's 'second kill'. "

When the scientists of the Empire were nervously and repositioning the signals of the deep submarine ship, the God Clan experts were also not idle, although they were responsible for components such as propulsion, energy, structural protection, and were not responsible for the communication system. , But there are a lot of strange things in God Clan that can come in handy in this case. Soon there will be a lot of mysterious brilliance of the astral stone platform or amethyst castle, which are used by God Clan The facility for observing the gate of the abyss, although unable to directly contact the submersible ship, can determine whether a catastrophic explosion has occurred on the bottom of the abyss by measuring the readings of the abyss-even if there is a slight air leak when the submersible ship is destroyed, they Can also be observed.

As long as no information is sent from these observation points, it is the best information.

A submarine ship that is similar in structure to the United I but has a smaller size and a simpler structure is completed. It was released from another Star Harbor and quickly approached the door of the abyss, hovering for more than a dozen After calibrating the data in seconds, the deep submersible ship opened a special shield and plunged into the deep dark disk.

This is a spare deep submersible ship that does not undertake any scientific tasks, nor does it have a scientific research module. Its only task is disaster relief, because it saves a lot of scientific research and to scan equipment (this is also the largest facility on a genuine deep submersible ship) It is lighter and more reliable, and its reduced size also doubles its surface shield and abyss contact surface. The only drawback is that it cannot undertake any deep diving tasks except disaster relief, and cannot collect data or perform tests. And the battery life is shorter than United I.

Since the start of the manned deep dive, Tavel has prepared two such spare ships or special rescue ships for each deep dive ship. Although this type of spaceship is not easy to build and has a short life span, everyone thinks this This investment is worth it. When experimenting with old ships before, spare ships have never come in handy — to be honest, I would rather they never come in handy!

"This kind of thing happened on the first voyage of the new ship," Icetis was a little bit heartless, a little bit big, and had a big mouth. What did he say in his heart, "I can't help but think of Titanic ..."

Then everyone started staring at her fiercely, and even Father God looked a little weird at the girl with a heartless eye, so Icetis quickly shrunk her neck: "Sorry, the brain is pumping, the concubine is also a little nervous."

I know that Icetis is definitely not malicious, and she is not less nervous than anyone else on the scene, so she did n’t pursue it, just continued to stare at the communicator in front of her, hoping to see even a little bit from the above, in addition to noise Something outside the wave.

The first spare ship successfully crossed the gate, first put a temporary transfer station for enhanced signal transmission on on the spot, and then went to "Advance outpost" to connect its working components with outpost to together: This is also to enhance signal transmission .

Before the emergence of clear evidence, everyone believes that the deep submersible ship is still there, but it is unable to transmit the signal. This is not only an instinctive psychological tendency, but also a scientific judgment based on the performance of the new spaceship.

"The system logs of the outpost host were retrieved within a minute before the loss of contact, and no abnormalities were found." The spare ship No. 1 sent a report soon, and then began to quickly "dive down", and it was released every time the dive depth One transfer station. This kind of transfer station can only work for a few hours in the abyss environment, relying on limited pre-stored energy to operate, and its only function is to ensure smooth communication in extremely harsh environments: in the abyss, it can guarantee the smooth communication of World with order. Important matter.

"Let the second spare ship also be ready," Tavel's a mass projection gave instructions to the disaster accident disposal team, while not forgetting to remind the No. 1 ship that is performing search and rescue operations, "No. 1, pay attention to the dive speed and surroundings As the environment changes, No. 2 will respond quickly. "

"Yes, ship one understands," ship one's Commander replied briefly, and then continued to dive and set up the transfer station, but just when the next transfer station just started to operate, we suddenly heard this Commander excited Voice, "There is a signal! The signal of the joint I!"

At this moment, more than an hour has passed since the deep submerged ship lost contact-a long time of more than an hour.

"Transfer," said Shen Sheng of Shandora, and then the communicator in the hall again had clear and recognizable images, but that was not the scene of the command cabin of the deep submersible ship, but a bunch of constantly fluctuating graphs And a lot of fast refreshing charts, "It is the low-capacity flux channel of spaceship, which is broadcasting the" health status "of the deep diving vessel."

I do n’t quite understand the consciousness of such a complicated chart, so I simply asked, "How is it going?"

"It can only be determined that the power core and shield group are still operating normally. This channel has a very low capacity. It is used to indicate its position and 'still alive' when all signals are cut off," Shandora frowned. , But there is no initial worry in the eyes, "The power core and shield are not stopped, the spaceship core is no problem, at most the detection module and antenna equipment are destroyed. There are some alarm parameters in the signal, spaceship does have a part Severely damaged, but it ’s still not certain which part. The No. 1 ship, closer, the enhanced signal should be able to connect with the deep submersible ship. "

"Ship One understands." The search and rescue forces responded immediately, then accelerated to dive, close to the place where United I lost its track: the upper layer is discontinuous. But their dive process was very careful. Obviously the possible movements inside the Abyss Gate made them quite nervous.

The control center is also filled with a tense and depressive atmosphere. Although the clear and clear instructions and reports can slightly relieve this feeling, the heavy pressure still entrenches everyone.

Shandora eyes has a golden glow in the depths.

Icetis is scratching his hair in subconsciously.

Lin Xue has closed eyes, and the whole person seems to be independent of another time and space, a transcendent time and space.

Sheila frowned, and the lilac lines appeared on her bare arms and neck, possibly intending to transform and save herself.

A subtle sound suddenly came from the communicator, accompanied by the surprise call of ship No. 1 Commander: "Signal source found! recalibrator antenna and recognition library ... connected! It is a deep diving ship!"

The hissing noise is coming from the communicator. A large group of twisted colored lines jumps on the Hologram projection like a frantic group. This is the effect of super strong interference. Since the deep diving program began It is rare to encounter such violent interference, but at this moment, it seems to everyone on the scene that there is nothing more lovely and more intimate than these interferences: these interference patterns prove that the communication comes from an orderly and parseable signal source, no doubt It's United I.

Operators started debugging antennas, filtering noise, Bubbles' sound came from the broadcast: "I have taken over the host of the deep diving port, and now I use the redundant computing power of the main network to help analyze these signals."

The interference on the communicator finally subsided. The frantic colored lines barely condensed, and finally showed a picture with severely distorted colors, but still able to distinguish clearly. I recognized that it was more than a loss of contact in the center of the picture. Hours of Anthers, he looked fine and was not injured, but the command center behind him apparently just recovered from the chaos, there are a lot of equipment smoking thick smoke, and some pipeline-like things from ceiling Hanged down: This is the performance of the energy pipe network overload. The only thing to be thankful is that these damages did not seem to damage the roots of the deep submersible ship. The self-checking signal of the deep submersible ship from the low-capacity flux channel is still stable.

"Here is Unite I ... Zizi ... Unite I ... Call ... Interference is strong, entering discontinuous ... Control Center, here is United ... Zizi ... Call Control Center ... Zizi ... "

The sound is severely distorted but can still be distinguished. With the multiple analysis of Bubbles' and the enhancement of a large number of relay stations, this signal gradually increased and finally reached the point where it was able to talk.

Shandora follows the platform in front of the communicator: "This is the control center, how is it going?"

Anthers ’s voice was delayed for a few seconds before it came through: "The spare test cabin was damaged and has been abandoned. One of the three main systems was overloaded and damaged. It has been abandoned. The energy network is severely overloaded, but the emergency protection equipment responded promptly Only a set of redundant energy grid is sacrificed. The status of the spaceship host is still normal, and we are restarting various automatic systems. "

"What the **** is going on?"

"The intense tremor of the discontinuous zone," Anthers sounded very calm. Although the command hall behind him still burst out small-scale sparks and smoke explosions from time to time, these did not seem to affect the work of the grandfather, "Its movement is discontinuous, and the tremor is also. We have misjudged the" jump "of the discontinuous zone before. It will tremor in a small range within a certain period of time, but it will violently move once in an extremely rare situation, just by us Going on. "

It seems that it is really an accident caused by the strange environment inside the abyss. Shandora frowned. Obviously, it is meaningless to continue the test now: "Give up the deep dive and return immediately, spaceship status can do nothing about it continue to perform the mission."

This time Ances was silently strangely for a long time. In this silence, I suddenly had a bad hunch.

"We are not going back," the old man finally said, with a touch of free and quiet in his voice, "Now I will upload the last collected data to you, and then I will keep the antenna power fully on until it is completely disconnected. There are still half an hour, these data are very valuable, I hope you can make good use of ... "

Shandora reacted from the stunned **** and interrupted the other party violently: "What's going on ?? What's going on without returning?"

"spaceship has crossed the discontinuous zone, and we have only the last set of energy networks. There will be no chance for reverse kickback," Anthers quietly said. "We are now on the other side of the discontinuous zone. And still dive at a constant speed. "

The entire control center is silent.

"spaceship crossed the discontinuous zone?" I couldn't believe what I heard and repeated it subconsciously.

"Yes, I crossed the discontinuous zone, or spaceship didn't move, but the discontinuous zone suddenly became active and rolled over from us," the old man at this moment can still smile, "however we can count Completed the 'task' in advance and crossed the line in an unexpected way. This is a good thing. spaceship collected a lot of data in the process of crossing the discontinuous zone. You will be able to use these things. Sooner or later To get over it, the next ship does not need to spend time accumulating data slowly ... "

"Do n’t give up in such a hurry!" Lin Xue suddenly rushed to the communicator, his voice was rapid and fierce, "Since you can pass it once, you still have the opportunity to wear it back! Now return immediately, we can send rescue The ship responds near the discontinuous zone, Void Creature can create stability in the abyss environment ... "

"Do n’t waste resources," the old man said seriously, "spaceship most extremely important systems have been hit hard, especially the energy network, the output is very unstable, and the discontinuous band is a fatal threat to this unstable system. I have dived several times and I know how far this ship can go-even if it is newly built. Now we must let this ship complete the last mission! "

He then slowed his tone: "Don't bother, you are Prophet, you should not act recklessly."

Finally, the old man ’s eyes swept over all of us, and he suddenly laughed: "Actually, we have an adventurous plan now ..."

If we continue to dive, will we reach the critical level? "

If we can live up to the critical level, and then go down ‘down’, would it be the abyss closer to the ‘opposite shore’? "

If the abyss Xi Ling ’s little girl ’s theory is correct, the opposite abyss may be harmless to the submersible ship ... at least low harm. "

So we do n’t necessarily die, we have a 1% chance of surviving-as long as we move on. "

The old man told us these things one by one in a structured way. Perhaps this is the result of their negotiation in the hour when they lost contact: the only hope for survival is to continue to move forward and be distorted by the abyss in the deep diving ship. Rush across that critical layer before shredding!

The next thing can only hope that the theoretical model of Abyss Xiling is correct.

Shandora was silent, silent in a stressful gesture, but in the end she still waved to the side, as if to grab something: "... Pay attention to receiving the final data, and don't miss anything. "

Her understanding of "deep diving" is not inferior to the experts at the scene. After she knows the status quo, she can already judge the probability of rescue.

She then looked at the communicator again: "If you really cross the critical layer and leave a relay equipment there, there should be a lot of hanger in spaceship."

"Of course, we have already thought about this, maybe this can solve the long-term communication problem of the trouble empire," Anthers smiled, and there was only tranquility in the slightly old face. Soldiers, just go to the battlefield now. "

It ’s not difficult to accept, and we are also happy to accept it-a long time ago, we had sailed like this once, and that time was in a hurry. Unknown: Unknown Void, Unknown World, Unknown everything ... It is just another sailing now, and like last time, it is still going to the unknown. "

As a captain, I think I should embrace this unknown, not escape it ... Think of the mystery on the other side, think of a completely unknowable new World that no gods have seen, just continue Moving forward, we can see it, although a little earlier than expected. "

I am very happy and comfortable in the days of the Empire. I feel at home. Thank you. "

But I am the captain, the captain of the Ark, and my crew and I should fall down on the road to the unknown World, instead of slowly decaying at home. "

It was only a short stop in the days of the Empire, and now it ’s time to sail again. Compared to the first sailing that year, this time is better ... "

The sound and images stopped abruptly. The deep submersible vessel exceeded the relay distance of the relay station. The antenna can only receive the last observation data, indicating that the deep submersible vessel is accelerating towards the critical layer.

After ten minutes, this last data exchange was unsustainable.

All channels are quiet.
