Tiandu, the headquarters of the Provincial Bureau of Discipline Inspection, 780 meters underground, the third special machinery design laboratory.

Because of the terrible war that swept the world forty years ago, a large number of anti-nuclear bunkers, headquarters and shelters have been built under the capitals and major cities of the world's major powers to fight against the devastating nuclear war that may come at any time.

At present, the super-large underground network crisscrossed Tiandu, such as the Daoyi Hub at the end of Route 26 and the headquarters of the Security Bureau located under the reservoir, were built to avoid a global nuclear attack and maintain a viable force.

The Provincial Bureau of Discipline is no exception.

The 3rd Special Machinery Design Laboratory, originally established in 1934 as the Jeongkook Special Artillery Central Design Office, began to study the submarine-launched missile launch module of nuclear submarines in 1940, and then became the main research center for special mechanical design, and in 1972, during the 'space competition' period, it merged with the three laboratories under the Jeongkook Space Administration to start research on spacecraft-related projects.

The design of the deep-sea exploration ship Jiaolong, which explored the ruins of the Dragon King, and the test ship No. 1, which appeared when the Tallinns landed a few days ago, are all from this laboratory.

And now, Su Sun, who was invited here, saw a 'small' spaceship.

It is thirty-five meters high, fifty meters wide, and one hundred and fifty-three meters long, and has a cigar-shaped appearance. There are no obvious edges and corners in the whole ship, only rounded arcs, and the inside of the silver-white alloy shell flashes with a light blue aura that is very obvious to Su Tian.

This spaceship, with a total length of no more than 200 meters, is about the same size as a sea destroyer, far smaller than the Tallinn exploration ship that looks like a hill, and even the frigate rubbed by the craftsmen and masters a few days ago is one size bigger than it.

It was in the dock deep underground, as if it were ready to be dispatched at any moment.

"How is it, Professor Su, this 'scientific research ship' is not bad in terms of appearance alone, right?"

On Su Day's side, a gray-haired old man who was only in his early fifties at most in his early fifties stood with his hands in his hands, and nodded with satisfaction: "In recent days, with the help of many Tallinn engineers and Zhengguo master craftsmen, we have completed the prototype of this scientific research ship. ”

"Its function is roughly similar to that of the Tallinn exploration ship, which is used for star exploration, but because of our unique technology, we don't need such a huge hull - we can't build it for the time being, so we took a small idea and designed such a compact spaceship."

"It's handsome, it's a work of art."

In this regard, Su Day's answer was very simple, he looked up and down at this spaceship with a sense of sci-fi design, and his heart was full of surprise: "I didn't expect it, this spaceship doesn't look dirty at all!" Unexpectedly! ”

Li Sheng didn't know what Su Sun was thinking in his heart, but if he knew, he would definitely shake his head - the relevant designs of the Dao Discipline Bureau before also took a lot of thought, fitting many historical allusions and related legends, the public always said that it was cheesy, but they couldn't appreciate that ancient beauty, which had nothing to do with the soil, but it was not good for this national aesthetic.

If it weren't for the need to hurry up for the exploration operation, he would have designed a set of gold and red dragon armor patterns for this research ship.

By the way, Li Sheng is 98 years old this year, and he is currently the oldest and oldest of the Zhengguo Holy Seats, and he is a pure technician, responsible for dealing with all kinds of extraordinary-related device design for decades, in other words, because he is too focused on technology, he has been separated from the outside world for decades, and his aesthetic ......

Cough.

All in all, Su Day, who was notified to go to the headquarters of the Dao Discipline Bureau, came here precisely to see in advance the car he was driving to the Qingqiu Secret Realm.

Qingqiu Secret Realm, as I said before, is a starry sky secret realm with cosmic stars.

The entrance to the secret realm is located in the Qingqiu Planetary System, on the fifth planet named 'Qingqiu V', and their target is an Earth-like life planet named 'Qingqiu III'.

The New World Exploration Department, which belongs to Su Sun, has already explored the vicinity of the entrance of the secret realm located on the fifth floor of Qingqiu, and the elite team of Shao Qiming and others has also carried out corresponding tasks, and their report shows that there are a large number of relics of the ancient immortal era around the entrance of the secret realm, and according to the analysis, it should be an ancient trade market.

Thousands of years ago, this trade market was shrouded in a huge array that kept it at room temperature, but now, the formation has disappeared because the aura has faded, and the entire ruins have been destroyed by ice or asteroid impact.

In this market, the exploration team found a large number of cherished ancient resources, as well as several immortal eras, the resource library of the 'Central Divine Court'. Although most of the herbs and herbs and elixirs in them have decayed and cannot be taken or consumed, the many rare metals and extraordinary materials in the rocks are also regarded as a lot of income.

"This time, Professor Su, your task is to observe what kind of changes have happened in Qingqiu Sanshang, causing the humans living on it to be judged by the Chixiao Sword to be in great trouble—don't act rashly, we have to judge whether to help the other party according to the specific situation."

At this time, it was Yu Sheng who was speaking through the network connection, and the middle-aged man whose left eye had been transformed should still be in the moon back base at this time, and the communication had an extremely high delay: "Because of the loss of ancient books, we don't know much about the Qingqiu Secret Realm, and making a random move will lead to bad results." ”

"Lisheng, who will be with me on this mission?"

He nodded to Yu Sheng, indicating that he was clear, and then, Su Sun turned his head to look at the gray-haired old man, and he said: "There are also the staff on the spaceship - although I have received training in rocket control and can be regarded as handy when piloting the spaceship, but there are probably not many astronauts in Jeon Jeongkook, is it enough for a spaceship?" ”

This is not that Su Tian is innocent of suspicion, but it is true, if you want to control a huge spaceship, in addition to high-performance AI assistance, you also need a large number of personnel and automatic machinery to control and maintain.

The foundation of the earth side in this regard can be said to be extremely weak, at least Su Tian knows very well that people like Shao Qiming who have not been trained in spaceships are unlikely to participate in this mission.

"The main explorers, and two, coincidentally, you know both."

Li Sheng stretched out his hand and swept forward, and the file of the holographic projection on both sides appeared in front of Su Tian's eyes: "Weiwu Liu Department, Liu Wuxin, Transcendent Peak Cultivator, and Doctor of Biology." Nongsheng disciple, Lin Chengde, a transcendent peak cultivator, and a doctor of botany. ”

"In addition, there is also a professional research team from the Third Section of the Provincial Discipline Bureau who will act with you."

"The third section, the transcendent environment, the secret realm exploration department?"

Su Ri recalled slightly, then remembered the responsibilities of the Third Section of the Dao Discipline Bureau, and suddenly understood: "That's normal, after all, a whole living planet located in the secret realm does need the entire team to explore." ”

"Their professionalism is believable, but the force is really insufficient, and you need to protect it."

The gray-haired old man sighed, and he shook his head slightly: "Of course, you can also bring a few people with you, Professor Su, all this depends on your own choice, but don't have too much, after all, the reserved space for scientific research ships is not large." ”

"I'll pick one, actually, I already have one."

Su Tian replied briskly, but he still had doubts: "It's just that this is just a researcher accompanying the ship—where is the crew of the spaceship?" Will they all control the ship? ”

"Why, Yansheng didn't tell you?"

In this regard, before Li Sheng, who was sorting out his thoughts, opened his mouth, Yu Sheng, who was on the other end of the light curtain, took the lead in replying, he laughed, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to Su Sun's pocket: "He gave you the 'Soul Abyss Server', why haven't you said this yet?" ”

Su Sun's pocket was indeed bulging, and what it contained was naturally the 'Soul Abyss Server' that was given by Yansheng before to collect the souls of the dead and wounded human race in the Qingqiu Secret Realm, and by Yu Sheng, Su Sun blinked, and immediately figured out the key.

Pilots, experienced veterans, souls, dead resurrections, ghosts, and a large number of crew members who quickly multiplied......

"Excuse me?"

For a moment, Su Yan's expression became subtle, and he didn't know whether it was curiosity, excitement or hesitation: "Yansheng copied the soul of an astronaut...... And then use it as a template to create a large number of intelligent driving AI?! ”

"Oh, that's it. For so many years, the only one who dared to copy the soul was Yansheng himself, and the copy of this freak would not argue with the main body about who was real...... Who knows? ”

Yu Sheng didn't seem to expect Su Sun's thinking to jump so much, and he actually dared to think of such an extreme challenge to ethics, he waved his hand, and the red light in his left eye flashed: "It's a Tallinn person." ”

"Those Tallinn people who were saved by Rafa's seal, some of them still died after being unsealed because of serious injuries, plus the Tallinn souls collected before, these aliens agreed to the conditions of the Yansheng in order to survive, voluntarily converted into electronic souls, signed a contract, and worked for us."

Saying this, Yu Sheng's tone was relaxed, even with a hint of enthusiasm: "Anyway, the operation of their spaceship also puts people in the electronic world, and the body is dormant - in that case, why can't we directly use the 'ghost' to drive the spaceship?" ”

"There's no need for food, no water, no oxygen – the Electro Ghost can use psychic power to influence the physical world, and it can electronically interact with the ship's systems and manipulate the ship like an AI...... This is a crew that is far more suitable for 'interstellar navigation' than corpse humans, even Yan Sheng himself did not expect that the first time that the electronic Hades showed its role was actually in interstellar navigation. ”

"That's amazing." In this regard, Su Sun also clapped his hands sincerely, he turned his head and looked at the not very large scientific research ship, and immediately saw more things: "No wonder our scientific research ship can be so small - because most of its crew has no entity!" In this way, we can build as many ships as possible with the least amount of resources by cutting down on the life support system, and guarantee the same, if not better, spaceship living environment! ”

The ghost ship is a strange ship condensed by the souls of the dead who are drowned in the sea in ancient legends, and it can sail endlessly and wander forever in the sea.

And now, because of the electronic Hades, this strange existence in legends has become a reality...... And in the future, it will even become some kind of normality, and even become the largest source of troops for the fleet on the earth side, turning into a modern ghost fleet!

"That's true."

Yu Sheng laughed, the signal of the moon base he was on at this time was very bad, and even a little intermittent, this was because there were too many alien spaceships unearthed in the recent period, and their residual psionic radiation would interfere with communication: "These Tallinn people have signed a covenant with Hades, don't worry about them not having to work...... We didn't squeeze their labor anyway, it's a win-win deal. ”

"There's a good chance I'll be on the moon for the next few days, and I won't be able to see you off, so I'm going to wish you a smooth journey in advance, Professor Su."

"I promise you."

Su Sun replied with a smile, and then Yu Sheng closed the communication.

Immediately after, the young man frowned slightly, looked at Li Sheng, who was speechless, he touched his chin, and then said slowly: "...... The Plague Sage, the Shengsheng, the Universe Sage, and the Yan Sage, they are the reformers of the Thirty-Six Thrones – keen to use novel technology to transform society, and actively participate in various industries to make a difference. ”

"So it's normal for Yusheng to ignore the 'Soul Abyss Server', and Lisheng's opinion is ......"
