President Zhang actually attaches great importance to the situation in the energy barrier area. He approved the plan sent by Chen Lin before without even asking anyone from the think tank to see it.
At this time, he was naturally a little anxious when he heard that Ai'an was trapped in the black domain.
After all, Aian is much more important than many of the association's scientific equipment and even most of the scientific research project teams...
"Do you think Vice Chairman Chen has any hope of surviving?"
President Zhang asked Chen Lin: "I read the explanation of that black area, and it said that it was formed after the reaction between the pure energy body and the dark matter reactor in Ai'an's body. If it were not bound by the energy tower and other equipment, it might not be possible. Most of the Stuttgart continental plate will be gone.”
"It is indeed so dangerous. You must not cut off the power to the energy tower or let it fail now. I have sent people to guard the scene 24 hours a day. If there is a problem, it will be repaired immediately to ensure that the entire area is maintained in this way. A fragile balance.”
Chen Lin nodded slightly, "The current situation is to find Ai'an as much as possible. If he is still alive, we must pay a certain price to bring him out of the black domain..."
"But the explosion of the dark matter reactor is not equivalent to the detonation of his core energy?"
President Zhang frowned and said, "He himself has become an omni-machine device. If the core energy is detonated, can he still survive?"
Chen Lin was a little unsure for a while. After all, Aian is a pioneer and one of the few beings on the planet Genorian who has completed mechanical ascension. The so-called mechanical ascension they have completed is often a very subtle thing for humans. and magical status.
Even Chen Lin doesn't know whether this kind of mechanical ascension is similar to a super AI or whether it is fixed in an intelligent mechanical device.
"It's really hard to say."
Chen Lin said to President Zhang, "If it is in a state similar to that of a super AI, maybe he has completed the transfer of intelligent equipment. If it is the second case, then he is likely to no longer exist. …”
President Zhang was silent for a few seconds and then said to Chen Lin: "What are the casualties this time?"
"Just when I was about to report this, the losses of the scientific researchers on site were a bit heavy. According to the information received from the scientific researchers, there were at least 130 scientific researchers inside this time. Many of them were related to Ai'an. They don’t know life or death at all.”
Chen Lin frowned and said, "The power of the energy explosion is too great. I feel it is impossible for them to survive."
"What a heavy loss..."
President Zhang sighed slightly. Those sent were all elite scientific researchers from the association. At the beginning of the entire project, these people were told in advance that it would be very dangerous. This group of people were going there. Bian had signed relevant agreements before, and the association promised to give them high compensation...
Money is actually a trivial matter. It is very distressing for President Zhang that these elites are suddenly gone.
"We need to figure out the situation behind the black domain as soon as possible, and we need to do something about the aftermath of the sacrificed scientific researchers here in the association, so as to save some people from being emotional."
President Zhang said in a serious tone, "We must give the greatest care and compensation to the families of the sacrificed scientific researchers... As for Ai'an, we cannot give up looking for his whereabouts. If he is still alive, what role will he play for us? It’s very big.”
Chen Lin nodded and added: "However, since the stability of the Black Domain has not yet been fully controlled, the search and rescue operations are very risky. I have already monitored the other side. I will only wait until the problems in the Black Domain are resolved." Send someone into it immediately.”
President Zhang warned: "We must be careful, we cannot let more lives be sacrificed in vain."
"In addition, we need to re-investigate Aian's mechanical ascension technology. Let's find out from the Pioneer database. At least we can prove the question of whether Aian is still alive."
Chen Lin nodded in agreement and continued to speak to President Zhang: "We also need to strengthen the safety supervision of other scientific research projects... This accident has sounded the alarm for us, and we cannot let similar tragedies happen. It happened again. A similar incident directly led to the annihilation of hundreds of elite troops, and even a vital scientific researcher was lost. It was really unbearable. "
President Zhang stood up and walked to the window and looked at the sky in the distance, as if thinking about something.
After a moment, he turned around and said to Chen Lin: "Regarding this accident, we still have to block information from the outside world... After all, once the news about the cracks leaks, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary panic."
"Understood, I have informed the relevant departments to strictly control the dissemination of information."
At this time, both of them felt extremely heavy. This sudden accident not only brought huge losses to the association, but also cast a shadow on the subsequent technological development of the Red Dragon Association.
"Next, set up a special investigation team. I am going to lead it personally. We must find out the cause of the formation of the black domain."
President Zhang’s words reveal unquestionable determination, “This group needs to gather our top scientific researchers and engineers. At the same time, I will contact several other large scientific research institutions to ask them to provide support.”
Chen Lin nodded, and President Zhang turned back to his desk and began to draft an internal document, preparing to formally notify the association's senior management and relevant departments of the matter, "During this period, the entire area where the Black Domain is located will be completely blocked, and a hundred people around it will be sealed." No ordinary people are allowed to exist in the kilometer-diameter area, for their safety.”
Chen Lin knew that the next work would be very arduous. He organized his thoughts and said to President Zhang: "I know this. Just now I suddenly thought - if we can understand the technology of Pioneer Mechanical Ascension, Essence, maybe we can find the possibility of Ai An’s survival.”
President Zhang raised his head, with a glint of hope flashing in his eyes: "If Aian is really still alive, it will be our greatest luck... His existence is a very important part for us."
"So I need to pull out a separate copy of the information about the mechanical ascension of the Pioneers from the database. I will study it carefully when the time comes."
"This is natural."
President Zhang quickly confirmed his identity. He picked up the signed document on the table and handed it to Chen Lin: "There were more restrictions on the database before, mainly to prevent external associations from stealing. Now it seems Some of them can be displayed or converted into ordinary technology. ”
Chen Lin took the things, nodded and said: "We are now proficient in many things in the database, and they can indeed be made public."
"I will let the team discuss it then, and we will hold a group meeting in a few days to decide this matter."
Chen Lin nodded slightly toward President Zhang: "That's it for now. I still have things to do here."
"It's all up to you."
"I can only say that I will try my best."
……
Chen Lin led the new team to the edge of the black area of the energy barrier area.
"Everyone, please pay attention to safety. We are not sure about the stability of the black domain. All operations must be carried out strictly in accordance with the plan."
The on-site commander sternly reminded the team members that every action they took was related to life and death. Inside the black domain was raging and violent hedging energy. Once there was the slightest violation of regulations, the energy could be leaked casually with just a fingernail. A person is instantly turned into powder.
"Everyone must stay away from the black zone at a minimum distance of 700 meters when working. This is the most extreme distance we have tested before. Going further will not only cause energy turbulence similar to radiation, but may also be blocked by the energy tower. And the wind sucked in by the raging energy inside the black domain "Dangerous." Chen Lin looked at the serious expressions of the commanders and nodded. In fact, what he said was not a joke at all. These things were specially tested by them before. Although there were no casualties, the intelligent weapons were extremely high. The damage rate is no joke either.
After many tests, they gradually figured out the activities outside the black area. Once they did not conduct scientific research according to this activity method, when something went wrong, their hands would be broken off, or their lives would be lost.
The group of people at the scene obviously knew that this situation was not the time to show off, and they all nodded towards the commanders here.
The soldiers had already sealed off other areas in advance, and the areas reserved for scientific researchers were clearly marked with warning signs. Everyone quickly started their work.
"Vice President Chen, why don't you go take a rest first?"
The on-site commander who looked serious just now came to Chen Lin with a smile on his face. His military rank was senior colonel - this position was indeed not low, but it was not enough for Chen Lin.
"Isn't this outside the safe area?"
"Of course..."
"Then it'll be fine if I just take a look here."
Chen Lin smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about my safety, just mind your own business."
The on-site commander immediately smiled and stopped talking. Chen Lin had already spoken. What else could he say? For him, the level of vice president is like a person in heaven. He can mobilize thousands of himself at will!
After several hours of precise testing, the on-site scientific research team still found that the energy activity in the black area was abnormally high, and this active state showed no signs of dissipating. After the information was transmitted, Chen Lin felt very troublesome - if he could not find a way. Control these energies, and the Black Domain will always be an untouchable forbidden area.
"Vice President Chen, I have an idea."
Dr. Li, the chief engineer of the team, suddenly said, "Can we try to extract and release the energy in the black area? Just like we usually deal with energy overload equipment."
Chen Lin did not agree or disagree rashly, but looked at the other researchers at the scene.
"I think it's feasible."
Another technical person in charge also nodded at this time, "It's always okay to test it, otherwise it will have no effect."
"I also think I can give it a try."
"I agree too!"
"Agree!"
……
A group of scientific researchers nodded one after another, and Chen Lin nodded immediately after scanning around.
"Okay, then let's do a test based on this idea."
"However, it is not safe to test directly in the black domain in the early stage. I still recommend leaving the simulation environment for testing directly."
The team acted quickly. They built a simulation environment similar to the black domain conditions. It is naturally unrealistic to be completely similar. They started experiments on energy extraction and release based on the simulation calculations of the supercomputer.
After many attempts, they finally found a method that could effectively reduce the energy activity of the black domain.
"It looks like our method is effective, now we need to apply this scheme to actual black domains."
After making all safety preparations, the team began the actual operation of the black area.
They carefully aimed the energy extraction equipment at the black area, relied on omnics to slowly push it into it, and used fixed lines to start it, and began to try to absorb the energy.
Those pitch-black black matter are actually raging energy. When extracted through the device, they emit an extremely dazzling light, as if a supernova explosion!
"Successful! The energy activity of the black domain is decreasing!"
The container made of Xinghai Alloy could only extract a little bit at this time before it declared that the energy was almost overflowing. Everyone hurriedly dragged the equipment out of it, and the dazzling light inside the small energy storage device made it impossible to look directly at it.
"How powerful is that thing?"
Chen Lin spent thousands of kilometers looking at the bright light under the surveillance camera and asked the people around him.
"I'm afraid it's tens of thousands of times more powerful than the full force bombardment of the starship weapons we currently use..."
The scientific researchers around him said to Chen Lin: "That is the energy body of the collision. It is an extremely active substance. If we use it as a weapon and release it, it only needs to be as big as the one in the lens." Destroy an island continent like Australia ”
"?"
Chen Lin looked at the researcher next to him in surprise, with an incredible look on his face: "Are you kidding?"
"Vice President Chen, how dare I joke in front of you?"
The man said helplessly: "After we extract this thing, we don't know where it will be used. The danger of these things is too shocking. Our current consideration is to transport them directly to space for preservation. Even if a problem does arise then, it will not pose much of a threat to the Origin Star..."
"That's a good idea."
Chen Lin nodded slightly, "Are there any difficulties now?"
"We need your approval to use small starships. These devices will be transported to the outskirts of the Origin Star using omnic uncontrolled starships. Of course, they will not be outposts or other places. They will be transported directly to the desolate parts of the galaxy that we can control. Store it on the planet, and use equipment to bring it back when necessary and use it as ammunition for starship weapons.”
Chen Lin admired the researcher's words very much: "That's good, then just follow what you said."
"Yes!"(End of this chapter)
