Chapter 326 Think tank, good thing, but not much better
After the crisis in the Truth-Quest Foundation fleet was temporarily resolved, Amber and everyone on the Polarized Light also breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, having so many enemies on a single ship can still make people a little panicked.
Fortunately, through 'Lilith's Magic Trick', the Foundation's fleet has been temporarily scared away, although it is not ruled out that the other party may come back again.
But now that the jump has been entered, even if the other party discovers the problem and plans to fight back, they have to wait for the end of the current jump → temporary maintenance of the jump drive → re-determine the coordinates and enter the jump.
No matter how awesome the ship's technicians are or how they streamline the process, they can still create a window of more than ten hours, so Amber and the others are still safe during this period.
After ordering Tom and the others to slowly adjust the course and attitude of the 'Polarized Light' so that they could remain invisible and approach the bottom of the 'Forerunner Ruins', he headed to No. 332 under the leadership of Saleh. The center of the think tank.
After accepting the anchor of Amber’s ‘spiritual shackles’, Saleh broke out of a broken jar and completely relaxed.
"You are quite relaxed now"
On the transportation platform heading to the central area, Amber looked at Saleh standing next to him with a relaxed expression on his face. The soft foot-like tentacles on her body fit comfortably behind her head.
"I've 'locked' your brain, but you don't even have any sense of crisis."
"As you said, I've 'locked' my brain, so what else can I do?" What do I need to resist? As long as I don’t cross the red line you set, my life is not in danger and I won’t be punished or mistreated. Isn’t that a relaxing life?”
Salih revealed a hint. Sly smile:
“You still have to provide food and shelter, don’t you?”
“Can all you Jerram people adapt so quickly? Or is it just you? Is that so?”
"I don't know, maybe it's because after sleeping for more than two million years, my mentality may have changed."
While the two were communicating, Lilith also passed through various functions of the power armor. There are sensors everywhere, observing this 'uninvited guest'.
“Is this an alien? It’s really very different from human structures.”
“Master, look at her tentacles. Every movement reminds me of an ancient movie. The ‘facehugger’ in early science fiction horror movies.”
“Master, do you think this alien is reproductively isolated from humans?”
Lilith kept asking some strange questions, while Amber chatted with him in her head.
The multi-tasking ability of a psyker comes in handy here, allowing him to chat with two people at the same time, which can be called a 'Sea King's special skill'.
For Lilith, a strong artificial intelligence that has already understood almost all human knowledge, new knowledge often makes her unable to help but understand, and a brand new species can greatly arouse her interest. interest.
“Master, when we get back, can you let me do a full-body examination on her?”
“Are you sure it’s not some weird examination?”
"Master, where are you thinking? Huh, pervert~"
Amber was chatting with Saleh and Lilith at the same time while doing two things, and from time to time, she contacted the "Polarization Signal" remotely.
As for Isabel, she is leading members of the intelligence analysis team, busy analyzing and archiving the large number of images and videos sent back by Amber.
Soon, the transportation platform Amber and the others arrived at the central area of 332 Think Tank.
This is not only the core control area of the entire think tank, but also the 'technology storage warehouse' of the think tank. All technologies developed in this think tank have complete technical data backups. This is an absolute treasure trove for Amber and Atlas.
The Forerunners, or these technological products of the Jerram Civilization, are still very advanced for the current human civilization. If they can be mastered, it is not impossible to trigger a technological revolution in mankind.
But the premise is that the technology in this think tank is operable.
If it is a blueprint like 'Megastructural Design Plan - Stellar Energy Extraction Station' or 'Strategic Weapons Plan - Planetary Destroyer Ship', it is indeed very powerful and beautiful. But the problem is that these things have changed from blueprints to In reality, a lot of front-end technology is needed.
Materials, engineering, chemistry, automatic control. A large number of pre-existing basic technological limitations prevent mankind from soaring into the sky just because of a few accidental blueprints.
Even in the relics of the 'jump drive' technology discovered on Blue Star, there are many supporting pre-technologies, which has saved mankind from making many detours.
“Assistant, you don’t need to tell me the results of checking the current stored data in the central database separately, they will be broadcast directly.”
“Received, respected think tank deacon.”
Saleh already knew Amber's purpose in the previous conversation, so he directly used his authority to issue instructions to the think tank's assistant.
Those radicals who locked her in a cryogenic chamber two million years ago probably did not expect that she would see the light of day again, so they did not erase Saleh as a think tank when they left. Deacon's authority.
It can only be said to be a very dramatic development.
Because Think Tank No. 332 still suffered certain losses in the battle two million years ago, many subsystems and energy supply problems have occurred, which has also caused the processing speed of the central system to become somewhat slow.
After waiting for a while, the voice of the assistant AI sounded again.
"Think Tank No. 332 stores 1,277 technical data, including 92 advanced technical data, 667 intermediate technical data, and 518 basic technologies."
"How many complete data are currently stored? ”
"Due to the influence of force majeure, 99.84% of the data can no longer be read. It is judged as damaged and the remaining 2 items are intact and can be used for data and blueprint extraction."
When hearing the assistant AI report that only two technologies are available When extracting it, Amber actually had a premonition of 'shipping' in her mind.
“The name of the technology that can be extracted from the report?”
“Advanced technology theory—gravity control technology”
“Intermediate technology theory and blueprint—long-distance pointing magnetic field channel”
"Sure enough."
After hearing the names of these two technologies, Amber finally felt relieved. Now it seems that the experience in the game, especially this kind of 'item drop' experience, Even if it is placed on the ruins of the forerunners, it is still applicable.
Salih on the other side felt that Amber beside him seemed to be relieved, and asked curiously:
"You seem to have known that there is such a person in this think tank for a long time. Two technical archives?”
“I don’t know. This is my first time in this place. How can I know what is in your Jerram people’s think tank?”
"Really? I always feel like you're bluffing me."
"Really, really." Amber interrupted Saleh's inquiry and continued:
"Ahem .Hurry up, extract these two technologies, and let’s get out of here.”
