Chapter 139 Safe Stay Line



This time, Ainor did not have to wait too long, and a fleet escorted by the Solar System Defense Force soon arrived at the Pass System.

Out of courtesy and as a gesture, all the officials in the Pass System lined up at the shuttle's landing zone to welcome the steward, and Ainol was among the crowd.

She fully utilized her subjective initiative and adjusted the direction of the airflow to keep herself 30cm above the ground.

This distance prevents her from being lost in the crowd, and she can see the newcomer directly over her ex's head.

Many people got off the shuttle, and local officials shook hands and greeted them enthusiastically.

However, Enol didn't recognize any of them, so she just followed the others and greeted them. The leader was an Earthling, and she heard the others call him the Chief Inspector.

But although she didn't know him, Bai Yi was very familiar with him.

Because this chief examiner was the former chief examiner of the Europa Review Office, Arelton, and it was he who guided and supervised Bai Yi's review work.

Now that he appeared here, the original job of Chief Inspector was naturally handed over to his son Arel.

Arielton is now the general manager of the second phase of the Deep Dive Project, responsible for overseeing the progress of the entire project and making key decisions when necessary.

Ainol had no objection to such an airborne leadership team, but the others were obviously dissatisfied.

Most of these people who are not convinced are from the original decision-makers. They were originally sitting well in their positions, but now that the first phase is over, they have been parachuted in and directly demoted to the level of grassroots cadres.

In this regard, Arielton showed everyone his unique advantages.

In a confidential room, his assistant pushed a cart in with difficulty.

When the plastic sheet covering it was lifted, what appeared before everyone was a deformed brain soaked in a green biological solution.

The reinforced glass container containing the biological solution was mounted on a portable life-support system, and a continuously decaying isotope power source was provided by the heavy lead shielding.

"It is my honor to introduce my partner, Mr. Michael Porter, the former Chief Inspector of the Solar System Audit Office and the first biological computer with absolute self-awareness in the Galactic Alliance."

"I'm Michael Potter."

A soft voice came from the machine next to the brain, and anyone who knew Potter at the scene could immediately tell that it was his original voice.

"I'm sorry to meet you in this format, but in order to further our goal, I have had to give up most of my body and reintegrate my brain with multiple sets of artificial neurons."

"Only in this way can I bear the pressure brought by the external computing module."

"Mr. Potter is my colleague and one of the first people in the Galactic Alliance to come into contact with the Abyss."

Arelton added.

"But you retired decades ago."

Someone in the audience said.

"Yes."

Potter's voice always had the same tone.

"The first phase of the deep dive plan has been in preparation since then, and my retirement is just a natural progression."

"We've done vector scans of the brains of over nine figures of people, and I'm the only one who's directly compatible with the device port."

"The technology wasn't mature enough at the time, so I paid a small price."

Arelton suddenly shuddered. He had earphones in his ears and could hear Michael Porter's message through the private channel.

He clapped his hands, and the lights in the room immediately dimmed. A holographic projection unfolded in the center of the room, and everyone readjusted their positions around the projection.

"What you will see below is the progress outline of the second phase of the deep dive plan."

The first thing that appeared in the projection was a star, representing a red dwarf star that had been infected by the abyss. Directly above the red dwarf star was a similarly sized cube-shaped structure, which was the Burning Heaven Divine Weapon that had been completely transformed into the abyss.

There is a thin line connecting the two, which is the abyss energy that is continuously output from the Burning Sky Divine Weapon to the red dwarf star.

Originally, the Burning Heaven Divine Weapon was designed to blast stars and even entire galaxies. The energy it outputs can quickly cause the nuclear reaction in the core of the star to get out of control, thereby causing a supernova explosion.

But now, although the energy of the abyss is continuously injected into the body of the red dwarf, the red dwarf, as the energy receptor, has not undergone any obvious changes in either volume or mass.

Even its surface luminosity and temperature show a steady downward trend.

"Everyone, please look here. Here are the stars and the Burning Heaven Divine Weapon."

Arelton pointed with his finger, and the image completely focused on the dual structure consisting of the star and the Burning Heaven Divine Weapon.

Then he waved his hand, and the structure's proportion in the image began to shrink rapidly. And on its periphery, near the star, a circular orbit was highlighted.

This track is called the safety hold line.

Within this line, all objects will be directly eroded by the abyss. This erosion will exceed the maintenance capacity of the universe for objects, and will directly cause a change in their properties.

The scientific research space station is within this line when conducting research activities. This is why the space station must evacuate to the safe residence line after a period of operation for cleaning and maintenance.

"It is well known that there is a steady abyssal erosion in the outer space of the double-body structure. It is this erosion that has prevented the scientific research space station from conducting long-term scientific research activities close to the abyssal reaction area."

"This erosion not only affects the physical properties of matter, but can also affect the consciousness of life and even the operation of computers at a higher level."

Everyone nodded subconsciously when they heard this. This was a very troublesome problem in the scientific research work on the abyss.

The nature of the Abyss may be simple, but because the Alliance cannot make long-term and stable observations of it, many theories cannot be confirmed.

Within its range of influence, both living things and computers will be distorted.

This distortion is only slight at first and can be easily corrected by the autonomous consciousness of the living organism or the self-correction mechanism of the computer.

But as time goes by, this slight distortion will continue to accumulate, gradually causing changes that can be directly perceived on a macro level.

However, usually when the problem accumulates to this extent, even if outsiders can see the problem at a glance, the affected entity is still unaware of the changes in itself.

Or at this point, they have already regarded the changed part as themselves.

It is like a person who has received modern education and knows the harm of tumors. However, after being subtly influenced by the abyss, he will not only become a deformed mass composed of tumors.

Subconsciously, you will take it for granted that this is how you should be.
