Start a Subspace

The first war between humans and unknown life forms has come to an end.

From the perspective of the results, the two sides seem to have no outcome. Humans captured a series of specimens of the other side; the monster side captured a shuttle and destroyed 30 scout robots.

But those who have actually seen the relevant battles, the real insiders, are really frightened.

The opponent's combat power is too terrifying, even completely beyond the human cognition...

Suspected to be silicon-based microorganisms, occupying the planet, and mining wildly in the planet?

Whether it possesses wisdom and whether it can reproduce in the human body is still unknown for the time being.

But it can easily corrode thick metal walls, killing people is no longer a problem, as long as a little bit is inhaled through the nostrils, the entire brain will be destroyed.

On the other hand, this thing is integrated and seems to have a small amount of intelligence? It knows how to destroy the robot's chip, causing the machine to be paralyzed, and it can also tell the direction of the human being...

That is, they hold great malice towards the carbon-based life!

With so many buffs stacked together, no matter how you think about it, you feel that the enemies of this world are terrifying to an unknown area that humans have not yet understood.

...

The good mood is completely gone.

The more you understand this enemy, the more frightening you will feel.

Zhang Ran was watching the video of the entire battle, and his mood was not too good, especially when he saw the black smoke coming out of the monster's body after it died.

These black mist condense together to form groups of liquid metal that can move.

"Our room is a vacuum, right? How did the black smoke recondense? Shouldn't the gas spread in all directions? How does it destroy the metal wall? Is it the ultimate controller of the monster?"

These are all unsolved mysteries...

Under such circumstances, more than a thousand experts and scholars from all walks of life have been convened in the subspace, and an urgent research is starting.

For the sake of safety, many experts believe that the temperature of the metal cage loaded with silicon-based organisms should be lowered, such as absolute zero.

Absolute zero is the theoretical lower limit, and all particles are in the ground state. At such a temperature, matter is neither in a liquid state nor a solid state, let alone a gas state, but aggregated into a unique "superatom", which is expressed as a single entity.

Under such conditions, it is naturally impossible for any life to exist.

Even life forms like "jelly" that can travel through high-dimensional universes have a temperature of minus 220 degrees Celsius. If they stay below this temperature for a long time, they will die.

Of course, some experts believe that if it is completely frozen, it will have no research value.

So after discussion, people think that minus 230 degrees should be a relatively safe temperature.

After being frozen for up to seven days, the liquid nitrogen becomes fixed nitrogen.

The scientific researchers mined a small piece from this metal room and carefully put it into the material analyzer for research.

The whole process is very rigorous, and it is not placed in the Kunlun Mountains, but an independent small room. The leading expert is the chief researcher of silicon-based life, Professor Scott.

This small piece of solid nitrogen gas includes a few limbs of the monster, acidic slime, black chitin-like objects, and... a small liquid metal component.

Professor Scott got preliminary information within half an hour: "It is indeed a structural substance composed of a large number of tiny units, about the size of a micron. It has lost its biological activity, and it has not regained its biological activity even if it is returned to normal temperature. survived."

This fact made everyone a little relieved, which meant that these things were afraid of the cold!

It's no wonder that there are no such black mist-like microorganisms on the surface of the planet, they all hide underground.

"I ask you all to develop targeted lethal methods as soon as possible!" Zhang Ran's expression became serious, "Especially large-scale lethal methods without dead ends! Whether it's electromagnetic waves, light, or other poisonous gases Class, research as soon as possible!"

...

At almost the same time, a special piece of good news came from the Dongfang Panshi spacecraft located in the high-dimensional universe—the satellite of an unknown technological civilization was successfully captured!

In fact, even if some specimens of silicon-based organisms were captured, high-level government officials, including Zhang Ran, still realized that this planet was not easy to eat.

Even if human beings can launch long-range strikes in space, there are still a lot of billion-ton hydrogen bombs in the arsenal. But the number of monsters is too many, just a glimpse of it, it is hard to know how many are crazily digging underground, and there are also microbial-level variables such as "black mist"...

Therefore, the satellite of an unknown technological civilization has become a life-saving straw.

There may be some information left in it, or something.

The number of captured satellites, there are 3 in total.

The largest one, with a mass of 10 tons, is a geostationary satellite in a distant orbit.

The geostationary satellite is quite well preserved, and the solar panels and related main structures are intact. It may have stopped working due to lack of power.

Zhang Ran returned to the Dongfang Panshi, looked at the returning shuttle, and issued an order: "Please do a good job of preventing microorganisms."

"The currently known lethal method is ultra-low temperature. They will run out of energy in ultra-low temperature and die, not immediately. Please use a more conservative plan."

The engineer in charge of the relevant exploration plan quickly said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that this shuttle will not completely return to the Dongfang Panshi. We have brought a liquid nitrogen injection device to prevent some disasters."

"A hydrogen bomb is bound to the spaceship. Once an unpredictable danger is found, a hydrogen bomb with a billion-ton equivalent will be detonated immediately."

Is it a hydrogen bomb again?

Zhang Ran wrinkled his nose and didn't know what to say. Now that he is strapped with a hydrogen bomb, is it a new popular way of working?

"The action begins!"

A well-known engineer named Guo Yunhai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and directed the advanced robot to enter the spaceship.

The name of this robot is "Da Vinci III", and it is almost the most cutting-edge robot that Kunlun Mountain can manufacture. It is not a fighting type, it is actually a modified surgical robot, and its flexible fingers can follow the manipulator behind the scenes to move synchronously.

Three captured alien civilization satellites lie quietly inside the spacecraft.

Da Vinci III stepped forward cautiously and came to the largest satellite among them. A small cutting electric drill began to work at high speed.

There are also two robots, ready to flip the switch on the liquid nitrogen tank at any time.

One of the robots carries a substance detection device that can simply detect the composition of substances.

Not long after, a small hole was cut out of the satellite, and the densely packed parts inside were exposed to human eyes.

From the appearance, it is actually difficult to know whether the technological level of this unknown civilization is higher than that of human beings or lower than that of human beings.

"Modular satellites, the wiring design is quite reasonable. Please switch to the infrared viewing angle."

"This cube-shaped object emits a small amount of heat. It should be a battery made of radioactive elements. The radioactive elements should not be completely exhausted, but there is no way to generate a stable voltage."

"This... could be an atomic clock? I'm not sure. If this civilization invented an atomic clock, they probably learned about general relativity."

A square device was shown on the screen, and the composition of cesium was checked, so people suspected it was an atomic clock.

Many experts are discussing enthusiastically based on real-time video.

"Disassemble carefully, and don't damage some parts. Maybe one of them is a storage device, and the data inside will be lost if it is disassembled."

At this time, the engineer Guo Yunhai showed a very strange expression: "The structure of these satellites is modular, which is relatively easy to understand, and it is easy to disassemble."

"But I found a big black box, which occupies half of the space of the satellite, and can be easily taken out. I don't know what it is at all, and I dare not open it easily... In theory, satellites don't need black boxes, right?"

Zhang Ran pondered for a moment: "Has the composition of silicon-based microorganisms been detected in the satellite?"

"Not found yet."

"Then open it and have a look."

Anyway, there was a liquid nitrogen injector next to it, and a hydrogen bomb was attached to the spaceship, so Zhang Ran had nothing to worry about.

The rest of the people had no objection, they held their breath and watched cautiously.

There is a small lock on the black box. It's not too complicated. It's just a conventional mechanical lock. The Da Vinci robot uses the corresponding cutting tool to break the mechanical lock in just a moment.

Zhang Ran took a deep breath, widened his eyes, and looked at the operation of the robot on the screen...

It seems that there is something called time rushing out of the black box!

The black box is plated with a layer of gold, which looks very grand. Gold is a very stable metal, it is difficult to chemically react with other substances, and it can be stored for a longer period of time in space.

Inside lay a metal plate plated with gold, a square metal box, a stack of things like gold leaf, and a round technological creation.

material!

In the black box, there is actually specially placed the information of the technological civilization in this position, which is left for the latecomers.

People froze for a moment when they saw what was displayed on the screen.

This feeling... seems to have a subtle sense of encountering an old friend in a foreign land.

Many people recalled that on the eve of leaving the earth, human beings specially placed some materials in the shelter to prove that human civilization once existed.

Is human beings considered a great civilization? Maybe not, but judging from the information passed down, human beings seem to be particularly great, after all, only the friendly side is recorded.

As a result, this unknown technological civilization placed some data in space...

Carbon-based beings will always do some unreasonable and worthless stupid things, but they sound quite romantic, maybe just to impress themselves.

He Zhang Ran was silent for a while, and then said: "Open these materials and see what they are! Maybe there are related materials about underground monsters. If it is confirmed that there are no microorganisms, you can also bring these materials back to the mothership for further investigation." examine."

"clear!"

The crowd in the captain's room soon boiled over.

People seem to have a subtle affection for this unknown, never-before-seen civilization.

"I think this civilization didn't die, but escaped! Microbes that can form liquid metal are really hard to resist." An engineer said enthusiastically, "If they have a small universe, escape from this world It shouldn't be too difficult. They even have the leisure and elegance to put some information here."

"I have a question, can liquid metal fight in space? No matter how powerful it is, it can't fly in the flesh, right?"

"Liquid metal itself may not be able to do many things, but it can control a lot of puppets. A monster like that flower bone can decompose and smelt metal... I think the monsters hiding in the ground must have the ability of interstellar warfare .”

Zhang Ran felt a little funny. Is this the change in attitude after the degree of favorability...

Humans actually began to worry about the future and fate of this unknown civilization, and the fate of human beings is not very good.

Even if there is really a lot of valid information in the data, human beings may not be able to defeat the silicon-based life in the ground...

I have to admit that human beings are such amazing creatures. From the moral point of view, you gave me a gift, and I will give you a blessing in return, which is naturally considered reciprocal. Anyway, it's just a blessing, and there won't be a piece of meat missing.

"Then let's transport those materials back first, and then slowly disassemble the satellite." Zhang Ran said to a staff officer beside him.

"clear."

A few hours later, the materials were brought back. For safety reasons, people still placed the materials in an isolation room, and a human worker personally investigated the materials.

"The total number of gold foils is 103. There are quite a lot of them. They are full of words, but we are unable to decipher what these words are for the time being."

The preservation technology of the unknown technological civilization is good, the gold foil is not glued together, and the text is clearly legible.

The handwriting on it is very small, about 3,000 characters written on an A4-sized gold leaf.

"As for this round box, it seems to be some kind of video playback device, and there are several large film rolls inside. This film is made of special resin materials, and it can theoretically be preserved for tens of thousands of years. .”

"This disc should be a record...I'm not sure, but at a certain rate, the recordings in it should be able to be read. The original planet had an atmosphere, so the life here should have evolved a way of producing sound."

"Can it be played?" Zhang Ran asked quickly.

"It takes about an hour to crack. This thing should use electricity. We only need to find the right voltage to make it work."
