Chapter 160 [Catching Monsters]
Pyramid-shaped ruins?
When Chen Fan saw this line of description in the notes, his eyes suddenly changed.
If he remembered correctly, the detection drone that was destroyed by the space rift seemed to have photographed a similar building before entering the cloud? As
soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Yi took the initiative to call up a high-definition aerial photo from the detection drone.
In the center of the picture, a pyramid-shaped building surrounded by a circular mechanical mountain range was flashing dazzlingly under the sunlight.
Chen Fan's mind moved slightly, and the pyramid building in the picture enlarged, and its surface details were clearly presented in front of him.
A large number of mysterious patterns appeared on the surface of the pyramid. It was not
until the camera zoomed in again that Chen Fan gradually realized the true face of these patterns-the whole pyramid was as smooth as a mirror, and those patterns were just reflections of the surrounding mechanical mountains.
Just like a spherical detection drone!
Looking at the picture in front of him, this thought that surprised him suddenly floated through Chen Fan's mind.
The surface of the detection drone made of strong interaction force materials is also extremely smooth, and its round surface can also clearly reflect the surrounding scene!
However, because the drone is spherical, the reflections are like phantoms in a funhouse mirror, with an extremely obvious deformation and distortion effect.
"This thing..."
Chen Fan swallowed hard and whispered his guess: "Isn't it also made of strong interaction force materials?"
If I remember correctly, Yi seemed to say that this technology can only be mastered by level 6 civilization?
You call this a prehistoric civilization? !
Chen Fan's face suddenly became exciting.
"Based on the information we have so far, this possibility does exist."
Chen Fan's eyes jumped slightly when he heard the electronic synthesized voice ringing in his ears: "According to this, the crashed detection drone should be the means of the Roca civilization?"
"Yi, don't you have any comments?"
"...In theory, we are invaders, and taking off without permission is a serious provocation."
"We are actually the party at fault." Yi explained seriously, "The destruction of the detection drone is a normal situation, and this machine thinks there is nothing to say."
Chen Fan was immediately anxious.
How the hell can he not say anything? !
He is a newcomer who has been working for less than a month and has just completed the novice orientation and walked out of the novice village. Can he be a match for the sixth-level civilization and artificial intelligence?
Any one of them can kill him!
Thinking of this, Chen Fan's face became serious, and he said a violent statement: "If the Roca civilization dares to attack the detection drone of the Human Alliance today, it will dare to attack the Human Alliance tomorrow!"
Yi fell into silence: "......?"
"In theory, even if the Roca civilization is a level 7 civilization, it cannot leave this universe bubble, so the other party cannot detect the existence of the Human Alliance, so..."
"Stop!" Chen Fan interrupted Yi's words directly, "Don't tell me your theory first, report the situation directly to the intern academician surnamed Song, and by the way, help me bring him a message-"
[Recording function is turned on]
Looking at the red [·REC] sign that lights up in the holographic projection, Chen Fan took a deep breath, his expression slightly distorted, and under the strange eyes of Isa and Gao Yuan, he shouted with full energy:
"Academician Song!"
"If your starship doesn't ship out, I'm really going to die in this damn place!"
...
June 12, 1735.
Relying on the remaining semi-finished materials in the warehouse, the [Hope No. 5] rocket is about to be completed.
Compared with the previous four rockets, Hope No. 5 has almost no hardware advantages - it has neither heavy armor nor extraordinary flight speed.
It is even just a micro rocket with a height of only 1.1 meters.
In addition, the orbital altitude of Hope No. 5 is set at 39,999 kilometers.
Yes, it is only one step away from the 40,000-kilometer barrier.
If the calculation is correct, Hope No. 5 will carry 20 latest-model micro-observation satellites to a high-altitude orbit of 39,999 kilometers. After reaching the predetermined altitude, these micro-satellites will be released and rely on their internal small Hall propulsion devices to form a full-range shooting position without blind spots.
After completing all these preparations, Hope No. 5 will continue to rise with the last fuel.
It is like a bait, luring out the attackers hidden behind the scenes!
Someone did a similar operation more than ten years ago, but because the shooting technology at that time was not advanced enough, almost no results were achieved.
This time, relying on the latest model of micro-observation satellites, Hope No. 5 will definitely complete its mission.
I named this mission "Catching Monsters".
Hope No. 5 is scheduled to be officially launched in three days. I hope I can catch the "monster" myself!
The rocket is released in advance. Recently, some strange things have happened in the academic circle - many academic masters have fallen into madness for unknown reasons.
This madness comes very suddenly. In just one or two days, a normal person will die in endless self-mutilation and torture...
Not only that, I heard from my former colleagues that the higher the academic status, the more likely it is to get this madness!
For this reason, doctors and researchers who study infectious diseases and mental illnesses are busy!
Academic masters are always a little important. Thinking back to the past, I... Forget it, there is no need to talk about the past.
In short, those doctors and researchers defined this madness as a new and virulent mental infectious disease.
It is surprising that this strange madness is currently spreading only in the academic community and only targeting the big names in the academic community.
But in my opinion, this is actually nothing unusual.
We have developed for thousands of years and even mastered controlled nuclear fusion, but we can't send a small satellite out of the planet. This is a strange thing in itself, isn't it?
Those big names in the academic world may have gone crazy because of this matter - anyone who knows that there is a "monster" above their heads that will constantly attack and block the rocket from leaving the planet will not be able to bear it.
...
Madness!
Looking at the scribbled words in the diary, Chen Fan opened his eyes wide.
There was madness in the prosperous era!
Moreover, the madness at that time was slightly different from the madness now - according to the notes left by the stationmaster, this madness was initially only aimed at big names in the academic world.
Chen Fan hurriedly flipped through the notebook in his hand.
...
June 15, 1735.
[Hope No. 5] was successfully launched.
Everything went as expected.
[Hope No. 5] successfully released 20 high-precision micro-exploration satellites at an altitude of 39,999 kilometers, and sprinted to the last 1,000 meters under the "watch" of these satellites.
It successfully crossed the 40,000-kilometer life and death line!
After a short wait, the "attack" appeared!
In just a moment, the body of Hope V was violently torn into two halves!
Because the fuel inside was just exhausted, Hope V did not explode violently.
The gas inside the body of the rocket was ejected, pushing the wreckage of Hope V to slowly drift in two opposite directions.
Just when I thought the attack was over, the second round of "attack" came again!
The two relatively intact wreckage instantly turned into countless broken pieces!
In the zero-gravity synchronous orbit, these broken pieces of varying sizes slowly dispersed to the surroundings.
The whole process took no more than three seconds. Fortunately, the micro-exploration satellite one thousand meters away had recorded it completely.
It's a pity.
Although today's micro-exploration satellites have made great progress, they still only captured a few blurry images.
With the help of professional software and equipment, I processed these frames accordingly, and finally got a relatively clear result -
it was a jagged black line rushing from the sky!
In front of this thin black line, the metal shell of Hope V was like paper, and was torn in half very easily.
I can't understand it.
I can't understand this strange attack method. In front of the other party, our technology is as backward as primitive people.
Maybe...
we really can't leave this planet.
...
July 15, 1735.
Since the detection results of Hope V came out, I have hardly done any research related to rockets and satellites.
In addition to looking at the latest academic news on the forum, I have been looking at the sky above my head almost all day and all night.
The radio telescope array always receives the unchanging cosmic microwave background radiation and some empty echoes.
It seems that there are no other civilizations in this universe.
By the way, a lot of things have happened in the outside world in the past month.
The sudden madness came and went quickly. After a few days, it gradually disappeared.
It's just...
I don't know why, after this madness where everyone is in danger, the big names in the academic world have all turned their attention to a new academic field - artificial intelligence.
In just one month, the collective voices of more than a thousand authoritative figures in the academic world have completely changed the academic landscape.
The hot deep space exploration project a few years ago was instantly thrown into a corner where no one cared, and everyone's attention was focused on general artificial intelligence.
With the full support of the federal top leaders, the great help of the academic big names, and the overwhelming publicity work...
For a time, general artificial intelligence became the biggest outlet on this planet!
Everyone believes that the emergence of artificial intelligence can change the status quo of this planet - resources will be redistributed reasonably, the level of productivity will be greatly improved, and mankind will re-enter a period of rapid development!
At this moment, everyone selectively forgot a fact:
we can't leave this planet.
All efforts will be in vain.
Looking at the academic world gradually falling into a frenzy, I only felt endless sadness and noise in my heart.
