The dive ship had passed through the Abyssal Gate, and now, the main material plane had lost its trace—and by calculation, forever. The surface of the abyss gate once again returned to "calm", the pitch-black and smooth interface like a mirror, there was not the slightest ripple to be seen, in fact, when the deep-diving ship completely submerged into this gate, it instantly switched to a calm state in a very unscientific way, obviously, this door is not in line with the various physical common sense of the real world.

Only the information from the probe indicates that the Abyssal Gate is still releasing the aftermath of the "invasion" just now, and that the activity of this gate has increased by about twenty percent in the past few minutes, and that three obelisks of spectral energy have been overloaded and temporarily stopped working. But now that this activation has been suppressed again, and everything is in the planning, the expert team can breathe a sigh of relief.

The information coming back from the deep-diving ship has been intermittent, but since it is not far from the gate, it still maintains a vague connection with the main material world, and the high-powered built-in antenna is working tenaciously, although this method of communication is destined to last for a moment when it sends back effective information, but at least for now, it can satisfy our curiosity about the situation inside the abyss.

On the holographic projection screen, no matter which angle, there are only clouds of black fog that are constantly surging, like a storm whirlpool, and this picture is also violently oscillating, giving people the feeling that a highly advanced deep-diving ship has become a simple ancient boat, battling the wind and waves in the dark storm, and there is a danger of capsizing at any time. "Why are you shaking?" Shallow feeling a little dizzy. "Is the ship shaking?"

"No...... The attitude of the deep-diving vessel is stable, it is very smooth, and the most sensitive sensors do not sense the signal that the hull is being hit by an external force," Tavel frowned. At the heart of her mind, she was rapidly processing the first-hand data sent from the dive ship, and then handing it over to the two servo hosts for post-processing, facing the eerie oscillation of the holographic screen. She was also confused: "Is it interference?" ”

"Interference doesn't make such a phenomenon. There will be clutter in the picture under interference, instead of the whole picture dangling "Sandora looks quite dignified" is not right...... There was no jitter and no interference from the dive vessel...... The abyss is shaking? Is the whole space inside being shaken? As soon as Sandora's words fell, her sister grabbed a small detail, and she looked at Sandora: "You've been there, you should know what it's like inside the Abyss Gate of the Dao Dao, right?" Now it's different from what you've seen? ”

Sandora shook her head: "It's different...... I can't tell if I wasn't conscious at the time, so I didn't remember it clearly. But I remember that there is absolutely no such concussion in the abyss. In fact, inside the abyss, you don't get the actual physical impact, and all the damage is based on some kind of 'concept' level, so this kind of picture vibration ...... If it weren't for the equipment failure, I really don't know what was going on. But it is certain that the dive ship has successfully entered the abyssal realm, and the swirling fog is proof of this, and I have dealt with them before, and the fog is somewhere between the physical and the illusory. They are the most common ontology of the abyss, and when they enter the realm of reality, they will become the kind of two-dimensional plane huā pattern, but inside the abyss gate, they appear to be three-dimensional structures...... These things are the same as I remember. It means that the dive ship was in the kind of environment I was in at the time. But what's going on with all this jitter around? ”

"The abyss seems to be a big cave, and now it's a big earthquake......" Shallow bit her lower lip, trying to explain the current situation with her rich associative skills, and in many cases, her nonsensical thoughts always hit the nail on the head from a certain angle, and I think this may be the reason why the problems we face are not very marginal. But this time, before she could come up with an explanation, the picture suddenly began to calm down, "Ah, the shaking stopped. ”

The footage from the dive quickly stabilized and became clear again, and we looked at each other.

"What was that? Could it really be that the abyssal space itself is in turmoil? It oscillates in a holistic way...... This is not common sense...... Well, it doesn't seem to be common sense there," Sandora muttered, "it seems that our dive ship is so lucky, it just happened to encounter an abyssal 'spectacle' that no one had ever seen before, and the whole world shook like a grain of sand on the surface of a drum. ”

"We're looking at a new world, and it's better not to draw any conclusions," Tavel advises from a scientist's point of view, "and simply recording images and data from a completely neutral point of view is the wisest way to deal with a new field." ”

"Zhilu Dao, you are a scientist, you are responsible for this" I quickly interrupted this very knowledgeable glasses sister, okay, what I am most afraid of when I am a child is to take a theoretical class, Tavir really wants the soul of a scientist to burn, she doesn't care if the person listening to the lecture in front of her is the emperor or not" Now tell me, how is the condition of the deep-diving ship? ”

"It can only be said that it is operating normally" Tavel's report is very simple: "All the equipment monitoring on the deep dive ship is its own judgment, and the information fed back to the console is only normal and abnormal equipment reports, as well as a simple shield report, which is to save bandwidth." "Leave the routine inspection of equipment completely to shipborne AI, maybe the earthlings don't think it's safe, but the Apostle of Xiling will feel accustomed to it, those shipborne AI are far smarter than manual, and in the abyss environment, even if the equipment is not in addition to the problem, it is impossible to send someone to repair it, so it is better to completely hand over the maintenance work to the host and autonomous machinery in the ship, and it can also save valuable bandwidth and transmit the following scenario back.

We put our minds at ease and continued with the view of the dive vessel, watching it move closer to the fog and moving on. The picture is not very sharp, and there is a lot of stuttering: this is the first time I've ever seen this on an Imperial device.

The space in the abyssal realm is distorted, weird, and the coordinates are confused, and it is quite difficult for a dive ship to move forward in such an environment, and it needs to recalculate the current mathematical laws around it with each step forward. Then adjust your own positions, as these positions are scrambled to reset every few seconds. If there are no coordinates in the void, so navigation must be based on special engines, then there are coordinates in the abyss. However, each coordinate is randomly distributed and changes every few seconds, which seems to be a little less difficult than the Void Navigation Technique, but it gives people a lot of unsolvable troubles. In such an environment, the dive ship needs to "jump" forward like a flea. Push forward a little bit every few seconds, then stop when the coordinate chaos begins. Rely on math corrections to stabilize your position, and wait for the space to stabilize a little before moving forward. The frantic structure of the space made me feel scratchy, but it made the scientists seem elated, Tavel kept recording the new data, and when I looked at the platform below, I could see that several of her mass projections were being heated discussions with a group of assistants or senior scientists around her, and occasionally they discussed with each other, and then the two mass projections would look at each other in shock. Quickly turn around and continue to discuss the problem with others......

"Tavel, aren't you afraid that one day you'll be schizophrenic?" The corners of my mouth twitched as I watched the maverick way of working of this glasses royal sister, especially when I saw her two quality projections almost discuss it with herself, I was even more shocked than those two projections.

Tavel thought for a moment, and suddenly showed joy on his face: "The subordinates are looking forward to that day, when the subordinates will divide themselves and remake a container, and then Your Majesty will be able to obtain two chief technicians." ”

I'll go! Scientists' brains are really different from normal people. I think Tavel must have mistaken the concept of schizophrenia.

"It seems that the shield of the deep diving ship is working well, it has just thrown off two layers of shields, and the internal regenerated shield has been successfully pushed up, and the equipment load rate has only increased by less than ten percent in the process, and then it has fallen back almost instantly." Tavel received the shield report from the deep diving ship and smiled, "The energy plug made by purifying the source energy ore is working very well, it can withstand the instantaneous energy flow of almost any intensity, Your Majesty, this is your strength." "I say in my heart that my strength is currently mainly in the catalytic effect on stones and birds—so don't mention it until the next promotion happens.

The image transmitted from the dive ship is not actually a direct view, just like in the void, there is no visible light in the abyss, and there are no other waves or field effects that can be received in an orderly manner, and all ordered physical effects, such as electromagnetic waves, gravity, radiation, and energy conservation, are shattered in the abyssal realm. Therefore, when the deep-diving ship "shoots" the footage, it is actually processed with its own equipment. It uses a set of void disturbers in the bow of the ship to release a full-band broadcast in all directions, and then observes this set of full-band information after an extreme moment, at this time the latter has been seriously damaged by the abyss, and the ship's main engine compares the destroyed information snapshot with the original file released before, reducing the degree of damage by one-half, so as to depict the area where the surrounding "environmental" information has been completely destroyed as a high-risk area, which can be regarded as a reef that can sink ships. Relatively complete or still recognizable areas were identified as relatively safe areas - there was still a storm, but the ship could withstand it. At the same time, the deep-diving ship processes the pictures of these blind people like elephants into a scene that we can understand, that is, those fogs that are large or small, real or imaginary, on the holographic projection. This method of observation was provided by Sandora, who couldn't tell everything in front of her after entering the Abyss Gate, with only endless darkness and ubiquitous destructive power in all directions, until she successfully controlled the abyssal power that polluted her, and realized how to open her eyes in this crazy world, and it was thanks to these suggestions that Tavel figured out the function of the Void Disturbers on the prototype of the deep diving ship and restored it.

Based on what I see now, inside the abyss is a rather monotonous and desolate worldly realm - maybe there is space there, but nothing can exist for a long time in that spatial environment, right?

"What a boring place...... "If I stay there, I'll be bored and crazy in a few moments." Is there no end to these fogs? ”

"The dive ship has just entered, and it's still hovering around the gate," Tavel replied as she checked the signals coming back, looking a little worried: the signals were getting weaker and weaker, and there was packet loss, which was not a good sign—it might not take a few minutes. The deep-diving ship is about to lose contact with the real world" Maybe you want to hear this? The 'voice' of the abyss. This stuff is starting to confuse the team of experts. Very, very wrong stuff. ”

Tavel switched to another channel, and the observation platform was enveloped by a very strange low echo: it sounded like a giant animal was moving, followed by a series of muffled weights scraping against each other. Then comes a heavy impact, and the cycle repeats. "It's a sound signal simulated by the device, if there is a background sound in the abyss. That's how it should be. But in reality, these sounds don't exist, they are clutter formed by the piecing together of many disorganized pieces of information. We filter out these clutters in all known ways, and ultimately the only thing that can be represented through the terminal is these sounds. Theoretically, yes. ”

I was surprised: "Sounds like a regular pattern?" "Whenever the abyss comes into its own, it's surprising that something can be associated with the word 'regular', and I've noticed that there are several senior assistant technicians in the vicinity who are arguing about it, perhaps based on these 'voices'.

"It's not logical!" "My assistants are checking to see if there's something wrong with the equipment, and this is the second puzzling signal since the start of the dive, the first time being the vibration. The second time is these clutters that hide their regularity, which is not recorded in any of the existing databases! ”

Tavel seemed to care about the signals, but I was a little unimpressed: "This is the first time we've sent a dive ship, and it should be possible to find anything unexpected, right?" ”

"No, that's not the case," Tavel shook his head, "and now the information we've gathered can actually be found in the existing database, even if we don't launch a dive ship to the Abyssal Gate. We've probed it in the past by other means, but what we detected at the beginning is not the same as what we are feeding back now......"

My sister suddenly asked, "At the beginning?" When was it? ”

Tavel thought for a moment: "Old Imperial Era...... The subordinates refer to the database fragments left over from the old empire, and there are also some detection reports about the abyssal environment, although they are not of great reference value, but they are certainly different from the things you see now. ”

It seems that Tavel has encountered a technical problem that bothers her very much. However, I may not be able to help, only Shallow seems to have an association, her eyes are drifting, this is the precursor of the start of the Shallow V2.0 version of the thinking program: "Will the abyss mutate over time?" What the old empire observed, maybe is gone now. ”

Sandora shrugged: "Mutation? It hasn't changed for hundreds of billions of years, so what's going on to mutate something like this lately? ”

Qianqian suddenly shouted: "Such as the Void Cataclysm!" ”

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and on the empty observation platform, only the low roar of the cycle and regularity was constantly echoing—this was a voice from the abyss, a voice from the abyss, a chaotic abyss for hundreds of billions of years, breathing regularly.

Everyone turned all their eyes on Asashi, who involuntarily shrank his neck and subconsciously repeated: "For example, the Void Cataclysm......"

"Tavel, are you sure that the database left of the old empire does not record what happened to the deep-diving ship now?" Sandora looked at our Chief Scientist with a solemn expression, "I want you to search for all the pieces of the old empire that you can find, and confirm that no one has observed this sound, as well as the concussion just now. ”

"Yes, your will." Tavel gave a standard military salute, and one of her mass projections hurried from the work area to the teleporter—a handy ability.

"Also, let's take a look at the blueprint of the deep-diving ship," my sister thought for a moment and added softly, "What if the equipment design is defective?" Maybe we didn't take into account the environment in the abyss, something is out of order. ”

Tavel also did not hesitate to give a military salute: "Yes, your will." Then another mass projection hurried from the workspace to the teleporter.

Qian Qian bit his lip and thought for a long time, then raised his hand: "Besides, didn't Father God bring so many divine realm observation records?" There's something related to the abyssal environment, and if you see if there's any record of the current situation, they've been observing it for so many years, and we've been interrupted for tens of thousands of years. ”

Tavel continued to obey, and another mass projection ran out.

I thought about it and felt like I should add: "I said ......"

Before Tavir could speak, Lin Xue kicked over first: "You toss people!" Can't get together and finish it? ”

I grabbed the girl's ankle: "I just wanted to ask how long this test is estimated to last!" ”

Lin Xue jumped there with one foot, and with the other hand took out a frying pan and pointed it at my head: "I'll count to three!" Three! ”

"Bang!"

Didn't you say count to three......

The connection with the deep-diving ship is getting weaker and weaker, and soon it reaches the point of intermittent, and the working groups at all levels have done a good job of saving and backing up all the data before this, in case all the databases of the deep-diving ship are not salvaged, and we still have the most reliable feedback data available. Finally, the connection between the deep-diving ship and the real world was finally completely severed, and the last image it sent us was a strange cloud, like the fog of the mountain peaks on the sea, and it was heading towards the fog - I don't know what will happen to the road after passing through this fog.

Once the signal was completely cut off, all we could do was wait. And, see what Tavel can spot from ancient fragments of information
