Plasma blue flames were sprayed from the stern of the ship, pushing Qingfeng quickly closer to the edge of the battlefield.
Lin Xu stood at the porthole and could even see the pattern on a piece of debris close at hand.
The pattern has a unique complex beauty and clearly belongs to a strange civilization.
In order to see clearly, Lin Xu stretched out his hand on the porthole and made a two-finger enlargement gesture, like when operating a touch-screen mobile phone.
The porthole facing Lin Xu reacted immediately, really enlarging the fragments not far away so that Lin Xu could see more clearly.
The command and control room on the Qingfeng is actually wrapped in the core of the battleship, the safest place.
The so-called portholes are actually just holographic interactive screens that can broadcast the scenes outside the battleship in all directions in real time, making it look like you are really looking out of the battleship through the large glass.
In fact, this is not the case. The command room is not located on the edge of a vulnerable warship that can be equipped with large windows.
Lin Xu stretched out his hand and scratched on the porthole, canceling the zoom, and the picture on the porthole immediately returned to normal.
The fragment that Lin Xu was looking at just now was also pocketed by a deep space forklift composed of autonomous machinery.
At this time, outside Lin Xu's porthole, in addition to the self-disciplined machines that were assembled into conical turrets around the Qingfeng, there were also a large number of tens of thousands of self-disciplined machine aggregates, busy on the ruins of the battleship.
They continued to collect scattered fragments and brought them back to Earth for research. They also continued to move into the ruins of the battleship until they arrived at a broken battleship. Then they directly dragged the battleship out and brought it back to Earth for research.
What Lin Xu could do was look out the porthole at the busy work of the autonomous machines outside.
As for Lin Xu personally leaving the warehouse and wandering around the ruins, that is impossible.
Allowing him to work at close range is already the limit of quantum computers.
Even if the danger is not great, this is still the ruins of a battlefield.
Let him go to the front line in person. What if he encounters an unexploded bomb or something like that?
Not far from the Qingfeng, apart from Lin Xu's guarding autonomous mechanical aggregates, the only stationary autonomous machines are a dozen autonomous mechanical aggregates floating in space, guarding the core of a curvature engine. .
It's the kind of warp drive that's installed inside a planetary drive.
It's just that this curvature engine is now floating in space.
A single curvature engine is about a thousand meters in size, which is almost the same size as Lin Xu's Qingfeng.
With a separate curvature engine as the core, it is surrounded by a shell composed of hundreds of autonomous mechanical polymers.
In this way, this curvature engine can carry hundreds of autonomous mechanical aggregates and fly at faster than light speeds.
Even because he travels lightly, his speed can reach close to the limit of ten times the speed of light.
Far exceeding the speed of the earth at this time.
It can be responsible for forward exploration and warning and provide early warning for the earth.
When the earth was flying at twice the speed of light, it was this combination of autonomous mechanical aggregates and curvature engine cores that provided early warning to the earth in all directions.
By the way, being able to maintain communication at super-light speeds is also thanks to quantum communication technology.
Unfortunately, the current quantum communication technology on the earth is still limited by distance, and can only be used within a tenth of a light-year at most.
It won't work if it goes beyond the scope.
But providing early warning is enough.
And one-tenth of a light-year is already very far away, equivalent to hundreds of times the distance from the sun to Neptune.
Lin Xu stood by the porthole and watched for a long time. It was not until a large number of autonomous mechanical aggregates stopped collecting samples and turned to explore deeper in the ruins that Lin Xu returned to the captain at the top of the command room. on the seat.
It was only then that Lin Xu suddenly realized that even if he came over, there seemed to be nothing he could do.
I thought that exploring ancient battlefields or interstellar battlefields should be very exciting and adventurous activities, but in fact the adventure is not my turn at all. It is all taken care of by the self-disciplined machine. I am completely a mascot.
"Human Lin Xu, we found the opponent's core storage device in the broken battleship and read part of its contents." Bai Xing's voice rang out.
"The storage device is not damaged yet? Do you understand?" Lin Xu immediately became energetic again and asked.
"Some information can also be extracted from some devices. After a large amount of data comparison, although the other party's language cannot be completely deciphered, some information is still determined." Bai Xing explained.
"Tell me in detail." Lin Xu asked.
"This is a civil war between the same civilization. To be precise, the government troops chased the rebels and then annihilated them here. The remaining government troops returned with the bodies of both sides, leaving behind this ruins. This is also We haven’t found any suspected alien remains here.”
Lin Xu nodded slowly, and then asked the thing he cared about most, "Can you determine the current position of the main body of this civilization?"
"The main body of civilization is a galaxy thirty light years away from here. Based on how this civilization pronounces itself, perhaps we can call them Nor people." Shirahoshi suggested.
"Then let's call them Norites, but judging from their spaceship, it shouldn't be very fast, right? How long will it take them to fly thirty light years?" Lin Xu said in disbelief.
"According to analysis, the speed of their spaceship is equivalent to the speed of the voyage fleet when humans set sail ten thousand years ago, about one percent of the speed of light."
"Then it would take them at least three thousand years to fly thirty light years, right? Just to hunt down a rebel army, they have been chasing them for three thousand years? Are they so persistent?" Lin Xu's tone was full of disbelief.
"According to the information read, it seems that the rebels have captured something vital, so important that it must be taken back at any cost. This is why there was this long pursuit, until the rebels were eliminated and the things were retrieved, then Return.”
"Can you determine the time when this battle took place?" Lin Xu continued to ask.
"Three thousand years ago."
"Three thousand years ago? In other words, the returning fleet of the Nors may have just returned to their planet? What is it that is so important to them?" Lin Xu was full of curiosity.
"According to their information, it is an item called Chaos Energy, but there is no image data. Because Chaos Energy cannot be described or recorded. People who see it will become crazy, even if it is a recording machine, the data The library will also become confusing, and the extracted content cannot be understood at all, so there will be no imaging data at all.”
"What the hell? Cthulhu? Stop being funny with such unscientific stuff." Lin Xu looked unbelieving.
"It's not the kind of evil god imagined in novels. Chaos energy itself is not destructive. If it is simply placed there, nothing will happen or affect anything. Only when it is observed will it cause any harm to the observer. Influence. And this influence is not a physical influence, but only a mental or data or information influence."
"Is it affecting the mind? Mental pollution? Or is there a special electromagnetic wave that interferes with the observer's brain waves? It also interferes with computer data?" Lin Xu guessed.
"Insufficient data cannot be analyzed. Human Lin Xu, do you need to change course and go to the Noel civilization for investigation?" Bai Xing asked.
Lin Xu pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"Forget it, it's thirty light years, and it will take fifteen years to fly there! And this is someone else's treasure. When the time comes to fight, it's better not to cause trouble."
