Chen Lin stood in front of the black square monument, unconsciously rubbing the mask of the protective suit.
The cold wind on the ice field of this strange planet swept past everyone, and the low tormental tide formed a strange vortex-like pattern on the surface of the monument.
Chen Lin suddenly noticed that those lines had surprising similarities with the quantum foam in the gravity well - although he didn't know what this represented, his intuition told him that there seemed to be some connection between the two.
"Vice President, abnormal energy fluctuations were detected!"
The accompanying researchers suddenly shouted, "There is something moving inside the monument!"
Chen Lin quickly took a few steps back and saw the geometric patterns on the surface of the black square monument began to flow violently, as if some kind of creature was awakening.
The mucus-like dark matter seeps out of the cracks and winds through the ice to form a complex pattern.
"Everyone retreated!"
The guards behind Chen Lin immediately shouted sternly, "Activate the protective force field!"
The blue energy barrier spread around everyone, but those black matter seemed unaffected and continued to spread on the ice.
Chen Lin noticed that these mucus was forming some kind of symbol - the gesture Ding Yi made at the last moment.
"He is guiding us..."
Chen Lin murmured to himself as he turned on the holographic recorder and compared the scene in front of him with Ding Yi's gestures.
The symbol made of mucus actually matched the symbol set out before Ding Yi was completely torn apart, which means that this is the place that was finally explained, pointing directly to a certain position under the ice layer.
"Notify the origin station and let them prepare drilling equipment."
After Chen Lin reacted, he directly ordered the guards behind him, "We want to go down and take a look."
"Vice President?"
Xiao Wu from the guard team didn't understand what he meant, so he spoke to Chen Lin: "This planet is dangerous and evil. Why don't we go back first?"
"Huh?"
Chen Lin glanced at Xiao Wu, and the young man immediately explained: "Isn't it better to solve these tasks by Zhijia or the engineering troops sent? Your current status is different from the past. If something really happens, We really can't afford it."
"It's okay, if something happens, I can take you back together."
He casually drew towards the open space in front of him, and a portal that appeared in the void immediately made the guards silent - Chen Lin was right, if he said that who is the most magical in this world, then I'm afraid Chen Lin said that it was the first, no one dared to object.
According to the order of Chen Lin, the vice president, the Origin Station quickly transferred the landing ship to the designated location by the intelligent machinery.
The drilling process was extremely smooth, and the temperature under the ice was higher than that of the surface.
The drilling device emitted a low roar on the ice field, and the huge drill bit slowly rotated, and ice chips splashed everywhere.
Chen Lin stood in the command cabin and watched the drilling progress through the holographic screen. The temperature sensor of the drill bit showed that as the depth increased, the temperature of the ice layer increased instead of falling.
"Vice President, the drill bit has broken through the first ice shell."
The technician reported, "The temperature is abnormal, minus 50 degrees...minus 40 degrees...and it is still rising."
Chen Lin narrowed his eyes. Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the ice layer should decrease with the increase in depth.
This abnormal phenomenon can only show that there is indeed some energy source under the ice.
The drill bit continued to fall, irregular cracks began to appear in the ice layer, and the vibration frequency of the drill rig quickly changed.
"The drill bit encounters resistance!"
The technician shouted nervously, "It's not the ice layer...it's more like some kind of metal structure!"
On the holographic screen, the image sent back by the drill bit shows a smooth black surface, and the texture of the thing is completely different from the ice layer.
"Be careful not to damage the structure below."
Chen Lin reminded him, and the engineering team quickly began to try various equipment. After several rounds of attempts at this device, they finally decided to choose laser cutting.
The final action plan is normally sent to Chen Lin for review. Chen Lin approved it without thinking: "After you make a decision on these things, don't come to me for a second review. After all, I'm not a professional project. Personnel.”
Once the plan was determined, the construction workers started working immediately - the laser beam drew a perfect circle on the black surface, and when the last piece of metal was removed, a warm air flow surged out of the hole, forming in the cold air. White mist.
"The atmospheric composition detection is completed, suitable for human respiration."
The technician looked at the data in surprise, "There is a complete ecosystem below!"
Chen Lin's perspective gradually became cheerful as the intelligent equipment slowly declined. He soon saw the scene under the ice layer - it was a huge underground space, with countless black square monuments standing among them, and a carved building in the center. Circular platform with flowing patterns.
The circular platform is engraved with flowing geometric patterns, and the huge and magnificent super underground building looks shocking to the body and mind.
"Is this... a transmission device?"
The physicist at the Origin Station that came along exclaimed, "This is very similar to a transmission device that Professor Ding had imagined before..."
"His one design of something like this?"
Chen Lin said in surprise that these buildings looked more like some kind of ancient ruins than designed by humans or Ding Yi himself.
The underground ruins were in a stable condition, and many intelligent machinery and a large number of staff entered the lower part. As the mechanical fingertips of the first landing intelligent machinery equipment touched the edge of the circular platform, the flowing lines suddenly accelerated and rotated.
The light in the entire underground space began to distort, and the geometric pattern on the surface of the black square monument projected a holographic star map, which was a quantum communication network spanning multiple galaxies.
"Gravity wave resonance was detected!"
The technician's scream echoed in the confined space, "These devices are sending signals in the direction of Cygnus!"
Chen Lin suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.
He remembered the scene of Ding Yi dancing in the quantum tide at the last moment, and the physicist's semi-mechanized body seemed to resonate with the device in front of him.
A crystal column rose in the center of the platform, and countless nanomechanical insects were suspended in the column, and the pattern they formed was Ding Yi's face.
"You're finally here."
The mechanical insect suddenly made Ding Yi's voice, "Now you should understand why I chose quantum state transformation."
Chen Lin's pupils contracted violently, and he saw a holographic image appearing inside the crystal column - it was the quantum wave map of the gravity well device of the Red Dragon Association, which perfectly overlapped with the signal ripples on unknown planets.
A monitoring system that transcends human understanding is awakening in deep space, with an astonishing range of 500,000 light years - this is the data detected afterwards, and Chen Lin actually didn't know it at this time.
"This is a cosmic cleaning program." Ding Yi's voice was filled with mechanical friction. "Whenever there is a civilization breaking through their limitations, the existence of higher dimensions will start the formatting protocol."
The image switched to the demise of a silicon-based civilization tens of thousands of years ago, and their Dyson balls fell apart in the torrent of dark matter.
Chen Lin's breathing became heavy. He saw the Red Dragon Association's gravity well model appearing in the crystal column, and hundreds of millions of quantum bubbles were disguised as the afterglow of a supernova explosion.
"You transformed your body into a living buffer?"
Chen Lin suddenly understood the meaning of the blue fluorescence that coughed from Ding Yi's mouth.
The face made of mechanical insects smiled: "My mechanical body can carry enough quantum devices to disguise communication signals as natural phenomena for twenty years."
The crystal column suddenly cracked, revealing the boiling solution of substance inside, "but someone needs to stay here forever and become the core component of the system."
"You are so crazy..."
Chen Lin looked at the quantized Ding Yi and then slowly made a sound after a while.
"Who are they, and how do you know them?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Chen Lin asked at the quantized Ding Yi at this time.
"It's a long story."
Ding Yi went directly to the communicator and established the most direct conversation with Chen Lin. "The first time I discovered that this super civilization was hidden in the inner world where the Origin Star was actually six years ago."
"Six years ago?"
Chen Lin was slightly stunned. This time point seemed to be the time point when Ding Yi had just gone to the astronomical observatory at Anyun Base. At that time, he personally approved Ding Yi's application form.
"At that time, I was observing at the observatory at Anyun Base. A detector I made myself had an abnormal reaction that night. At that time, I only thought it was a regular interstellar radiation signal, but later I found that it was a series of words."
Ding Yi's voice echoed in the empty underground space, with an indescribable heaviness: "Those words are codes that we cannot understand, but I know that is a warning."
The shadow of those words appeared in Chen Lin's mind. Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, just imagination made him feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Those words seem to be whispers from the depths of the universe, telling the existence of an ancient and powerful civilization.
"That civilization, their technological level is far beyond our imagination. They can manipulate matter and energy, and even change the basic laws of the universe."
Ding Yi's voice became deeper and deeper, "The high-level civilizations we discovered are like gods in the universe, and we are just insignificant dust in their eyes."
Chen Lin felt a suffocation.
"Why didn't they destroy us directly?"
Chen Lin asked with difficulty, "Doesn't it mean that they have discovered us?"
"Perhaps, in their eyes, we are not worthy of their own actions."
Ding Yi's answer made Chen Lin feel cold, "They set rules. As long as we abide by these rules, we can survive in this universe."
"Once we touch their bottom line, it will be a catastrophe."
Chen Lin was silent for a long time before speaking out: "What should we do now?"
Ding Yi slowly walked in the underground space, "This special ruin is actually not one with the ancient high-level civilization I discovered. This ruin is actually a defensive tower on a planet... Its birth has been It's not precise, but after I figured out how this thing works, I basically understood its function."
"By relying on the buffering function of this device, I can at least provide the association with 20 years of peaceful development time for the rapid progress."
Chen Lin didn't know what to say next, he just felt that Ding Yi was too hasty to send his life out so simply.
"You don't actually have to worry about me so much,"
Ding Yi's voice sounded again, "In fact, this posture is more free for me."
"I remember that the transfer of consciousness in our association has been a great success, right?"
"Aian was also destroyed because of the problem of the cracked black domain, but we are still developing the things on the planet Kenoligan. At most, twenty years later, we can use more advanced technology to transfer me from here. —I'll be happier to give me a perfect metal body at that time! ”
Chen Lin was a little amused and crying for a moment, "Are you letting yourself ascend to the machine in advance?"
"That's right!"
Ding Yi laughed heartily: "My technology is pretty good. I use the fluctuations of quantum states to merge the organs and the entire consciousness in my body into a ball - the reason why I changed half of my body to Mechanical, in fact, is to ensure that I can adapt to the mechanical body faster in the future.”
"If Aian was still alive, perhaps this pioneer civilization's legacy would praise me with such methods!"
Chen Lin shook his head slightly. Ding Yi is really a crazy physicist. There is no second person in the Red Dragon Association that dares to try many things he has done, at least in the field where he directly devotes his life. , he is definitely the only one.
"Come on, don't waste your time here, I'm in such a good state!"
Ding Yi spoke to Chen Lin: "Let the association install a signal transmission device here. I will contact you immediately if there is any abnormal movement. Don't call my name directly in the future. Just call my code name."
"Code name?"
Chen Lin was slightly stunned for a moment and asked, "What's your name?"
"DE?"
"This name is not good."
Chen Lin also had a smile on his face, "It's better to just call him Ding Yi. The original name can also be called to commemorate your existence, but it is not very eye-catching."
"You can name my project this. This planet is simply called Ding Yixing?"
"This is a small matter."
Chen Lin quit the communication network, and his brain was still a little messy at this time. After all, Ding Yi's operation in this short time was enough to make many people unable to react. He still needs to sort out what happened in recent times. Report to President Zhang.
At the very least, the senior executives of the association must know.
"Secretary Zhao!"
Chen Lin shouted to the door, and a figure immediately popped out.
"Prepare to return. I'll take advantage of the time I go back to sort out... The things have been a bit too chaotic recently."
"Yes, Vice President." (This chapter ends)
