Chapter 359： Golden waterway

The room is not big, it is the smallest one in the warehouse. Of course, this is relative to the entire hall. After entering the room, looking up, dozens of robots are parked in the hangar distributed in blocks.

Tang Fang felt that using the word "robot" to describe it was very unimaginative, but "Crystal Man" was more appropriate. The unmanned equipment made by the Ypsilons is about 2.5 meters high and resembles the Eve in "Robot Story", except that the body surface is completely composed of exquisite light blue "crystals", which can be blurred when viewed from the outside to the inside. I saw some silver-gray solids, which should be internal skeletons.

Just like repairing the psionic flame before, Tang Fang stepped forward, raised his hand on his heels, and pressed the e rune on the enlarged version of Eve's chest. As a golden light lit up, the surface of the "Crystal Man" flowed through several blue waves like a wave. Then, a row of orange-yellow characters appeared on the "Crystal Man" facial display screen, in Ypsilon characters that only Tang Fang could understand.

At this moment, Tang Fang nodded and let go of his hand. Five light threads protruded from the pores under the "Crystal Man"'s cheeks and gently attached to the back of his hand.

After a few breaths, the "Crystal Man" who received the instruction to "repair the dimensional roaming terminal" slowly rose up, and the circular aperture at the tail flashed with silver light like flowing water, and quickly flew out of the hangar without passing the top of Tang Fang's head.

Seeing the back of the "Crystal Man" disappearing outside the door, Tang Fang walked to Freya who had recovered his mobility and was looking at Freya from the back of the "Crystal Man" with a dull face. She didn't allow her to say anything, and took her hand quickly. Step out of the warehouse.

Having just come into contact with the core computer of the "Crystal Man", Tang Fang realized that the crystalline material on the surface of the "Crystal Man" is composed of inert crystals.

Just like the "Shield of Ulikmi", humans have also made considerable progress in the use of zero elements, but due to low refining technology. The inert low-purity zero element crystals are far inferior to Epsilon's in terms of hardness and toughness.

As an engineering drone, the "Crystal Man" is a "Crystal Man" instead of a "robot". It's because of the working environment. The dimensional roaming terminal is just one of its working objects, except for the external facilities of the "Ashtolando" system. "Crystal Man" is also responsible for the maintenance and overhaul of the dimensional lock.

The cosmic environment is very complicated. There is no doubt about this. Whether it is supernova explosions, star creation, or the activities of neutron stars, black holes and other celestial bodies, it is possible to form a strong gravitational field, which will distort time and space, spread to the dimensional tunnel, and damage the worms. Dimensional lock of hole structure. Cause a cross-dimensional space-time storm.

In this unstable channel, after the flesh and blood and ordinary robots enter, they will inevitably be torn to pieces by the shock of time and space. How about maintenance? What about maintenance? To gain a foothold in this environment, apart from some aircraft with graviton shields, only extremely pure inertized zero element crystals can do the job.

Taking into account factors such as cost, size, service life, etc., in the end, the Epsilon people chose the inert zero element crystal as the shell for the maintenance of the drone, and only then had the "crystal man" in front of them.

This kind of crystal-shaped engineering drone not only has a strong defense force, but also has a small fusion reactor to provide power. It is also equipped with an ultra-high specific impulse plasma engine, retractable ion shield, and Amm heat dissipation network. Central processing system, integrated maintenance module combination.

For comparison, look at the fully automated "Crystal Man" again, and Tang Fang smiled. This is simply a copy of Wallie and Eve.

Next to Freya, she looked at her hair and couldn't help staying away, and asked tentatively: "Tang Fang, what do you think?"

"Hehe...I want to get them back." Tang Fang said with a smug expression.

"They?" Freya followed his gaze. Not far away, the "Crystal Man" slowly flew up with a floating car. A black cube was piled in the carriage.

In the StarCraft series of games, Zerg units have the ability to regenerate. Even if you are not on the germ blanket, you will slowly recover from your injury. The Terran has it. It can treat damaged mechanical units. Biological units can also be treated by nurses and medical transport planes. Only Protoss, whether it is a mechanical unit or a biological unit, after the shield is destroyed, the main body will be injured. It cannot be restored.

Will there be no repair machinery based on the technological level of the gods? Who believes that, but Blizzard castrated it out of gameplay. There is a maintenance team on the Morningstar, and there are still in the system space. No matter how you look at it, the ability in logistics maintenance is already excellent. But who is Tang Fang? Having been a thief for so long along the way, the ability to take the sheep with one's hands has been deeply rooted in his bones. If there is such a good thing on "Tikal", will he be indifferent? It's a waste to put it here as a mummy anyway, it's better to get it on the Morningstar.

The system of "Crystal Man" is very powerful. As long as you order Emma to translate the existing human science and technology data into Ypsilon, and then input the core by itself, it will upgrade the database by itself, integrate the human science tree, and obtain maintenance man-made machinery. Ability. The full-name space construction vehicle is a light-armored unit, and it is difficult to undertake the rapid maintenance work on the frontline battlefield. The "Crystal Man" is different. This thing is made of inert zero element crystals, as well as a super high specific impulse engine, and ion protection. The shield can be completely repaired on the inland battlefield. Even in the cosmic battlefield, with its size, it can be repaired and repaired, completely ignoring the enemy's gunfire.

Looking at the "Crystal Man" who came from the opposite "Kaibu", Tang Fang liked it more and more, and became more satisfied with it. He was a human, and he liked beautiful things. Naturally, he couldn't avoid it. The thing in front of him was much more cool.

"Crystal Man" is too ugly, so why... Tang Fang turned his head to look at Freya, and he smiled, better to call "Cupid".

With distraction, "Cupid" has flown near the damaged part of the "door" facility. A fan-shaped beam of light is emitted from the eye area, sweeping across the damaged part, and then stretched out his arm. The front section of the ring crystal is blooming like petals, a silver-gray strip. The metal arm pops out, and the needle-shaped structure in front is at a point on the damaged part of the doorpost. The blue light roams around, and finally converges to the "door" facility node crystal, which instantly bursts out a dazzling silver light.

Then, the damaged module was separated from the main body of the "door" facility, and under the lead of "Cupid", it landed on the open space nearby. After doing this, it stretched out its arm again. The needle-shaped structure at the front changed for a while and expanded into a rectangular interface, which was inserted into the cube control panel on the maglev vehicle behind you. Originally dark. The cube like a stubborn stone came to life in an instant, like a collapsing sand model. All at once scattered into countless small particles.

"Broken..." Freya was about to ask, the particles scattered on the ground, like ants, gathered into a black stream, all the way up the doorpost, and condensed into brand new system components in the damaged area.

"Micro-material robot?" Tang Fang narrowed his eyes. Nano-robot technology is nothing, but such a fully automated building material robot is truly amazing.

After "Cupid" repaired the dimensional roaming terminal. At the most eye-catching e rune of the "door" facility, I heard a burst of electric currents, and the faint blue climbed up the arch, and a group of electric lights jumped up from the center of the arch structure, and then slowly expanded to form the surface of the water. Generally, a light blue light curtain with ripples from time to time.

"It's done." Tang Fang exclaimed sincerely, and was about to operate the psychic flame. At this moment, "Cupid" suddenly flew in front of him, his eyes projected a light screen in the air, and a series of golden Ypsilon words flashed by.

"That's it..." The more I looked back. Tang Fang's face became uglier.

He finally understood the reason why the "Lost Land" could not sail at a speedy speed. In the process of the "Lost Battle", the "Ashtorando" system of the Ypsilons suffered a disaster, and not only most of the external equipment was damaged in the hand-to-hand combat. Even the Dimensional Tunnel suffered a devastating blow, and the Dimensional Lock system was paralyzed.

Some dimensional locks were destroyed and some dimensional locks were damaged, causing the spatial continuum to partially collapse and forming a sub-dimensional storm that swept the entire "Ashtolando" system.

Before the start of the "Lost Battle", the entire "Lost Land" was not as independent of the Sky Nest as it is now. There was no buffer zone between the outer star system of the Epsilonian jurisdiction and other star systems in the star area, and the distance was only A few light years.

The dimensional tunnels of the "Ashtolando" system are all over the jurisdiction. After the "Lost Battle" was over, the dimensional storm not only swept the entire tunnel. It also produces a see-saw with the dimensional lock system, which then twists the entire wormhole network. Caused a chain reaction that spread to nearly a hundred light-year diameter range.

As we all know, the universe is not flat. Like mountain roads, it is flat and rugged. The unstable wormhole network of the "Ashtolando" system will be distorted on a multi-dimensional level, just like a sea storm, from the original parallel state to a jittery state, thereby intersecting with normal time and space, and even appearing unidirectionally. The gravitational effect forms a dimensional crack.

In such an environment, want to use the speed engine for interstellar travel? That is purely seeking death. Ever since, the "Lost Land" has evolved into the current "lost" state.

"Tang Fang, what's the matter with you?" Freya asked with a worried look when he saw him turn from joy to sadness.

Tang Fang sighed and described the embarrassing state of the "Ashtolando" system at this time.

"Since the equipment is broken, let's go back, Freya is hungry." In the girl's eyes, the "Ashtorando" system is not as important as the five internal organs.

Tang Fang scraped her little nose angrily: "There is food and drinking water I prepared in the shuttle. If you are hungry, you can eat it yourself. I still have information to check."

"Um..." Looking at the empty hall where you can't see your head, Freya bit her lip and muttered for a moment: "I'll wait for you here."

Tang Fang shrugged, turned and walked to "Cupid" again, connecting to the center again. He didn't believe that the Ypsilon people had no countermeasures. The reason why "Cupid" was designed in this form was to deal with what might happen inside the Dimensional Tunnel. Time and space storms, this shows that the Ypsilon people are well prepared.

Sure enough, after sending the corresponding command, "Cupid" gave him a positive reply. The database not only stores the maintenance plan of the dimensional lock, but also the design drawings. In other words, it can not only repair the damage of the dimensional lock, but also make a new dimensional lock.

It's just that, in the current environment, the damaged dimensional locks are not one or two, but throughout the entire "Ashtolando" system. There are only two finished dimensional locks in the warehouse. If they are temporarily manufactured, they will be of zero quality and material. It is also a drop in the bucket.

This can't help but make Tang Fang a headache. If he can't repair the "Ashtorando" system, he will not be able to set foot on other star systems in the "Lost Land" and lose the opportunity to unlock other Protoss technologies.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Frowning his brows and walking back and forth for a moment, he turned to the front of the psychic flame of the Dimensional Roaming Terminal, and connected with it, calling out the structure diagram of the entire "Ashtolando" system.

Along with the center of the psychic flame, blue light shot out. The distribution map of the dimensional lock of "Lost Land" and the buffer zone slowly appeared in front of Tang Fang.

Under normal conditions, these dimensional tunnels with spider webs will be marked with green spots, at this moment. 98% of the system network is showing a red alert posture.

Staring at the network topology map for a while, Tang Fang suddenly said "Huh?" Send a command to the psychic flame.

Then, the Blu-ray reappeared, and a star map of "Lost Land" was overlapped on the top of the network topology map.

Due to the impact of the previous "Lost Battle", some working and semi-working dimension locks were affected by the storm and were thrown to the "Lost Land" and the surrounding areas of the buffer zone, which not only fragmented the dimension tunnel network, but also affected real time and space and interfered. Sail at normal warp speed.

According to the answer given in the center of the psychic flame. After the Ypsilon jurisdiction was broken up and reorganized into the "Lost Land", the dimensional roaming terminal of the "Tikal" star had to get in touch with other operational terminals and resume use. The dimensional tunnel must be reopened and the dimensional lock must be configured. system.

This is an impossible task for him now. The number of dimensional locks in the warehouse is insufficient. Even if "Cupid" is ordered to start manufacturing new dimensional locks, even with the inventory resources of the relay station, it will not be possible to make up the number of dimensional tunnels.

Dimensional locks not only require a large number of components, but also palladium, platinum, iridium, titanium and other metals. Some silicides, supermetals, iso-polymers. And other materials. Of course, these resources can all be transformed from zero elements, but it is a pity that Tang Fang does not have a conversion factory, nor does he have enough zero elements.

However, the fact that it cannot be completed now does not mean that it cannot be completed in the future. In addition to the scarce transactions in the free market in Tianchao, there is nothing for minerals such as palladium and iridium?

By superimposing the dimensional lock distribution map and the "Lost Land" star map. Tang Fang discovered that the area affected by erythema is not a 30-light-year buffer zone covering the entire "Lost Land" and the periphery. There is a gap between erythema and erythema. In such a gap area, there is no warping speed interference phenomenon. Suitable for war speed navigation.

Of course, the distribution of these gap areas is very messy, separated by erythema areas of different sizes and shapes, and many of them are dead ends. It is impossible to walk like a big road. Therefore, for more than 200 years, those explorers who tried to get involved in the "Lost Land" have all ended up with no bones.

But Tang Fang was different. If he hadn't repaired the dimensional roaming terminal and obtained the dimensional lock distribution map, he had to return to Meijiaer obediently to find another way out if he wanted to go to the Tianchao star area on the other side. Now it's different. Although the crevice area is uneven and disorderly, he still found a small path connecting the outside world. Just be careful and pass it safely.

There are still three space shuttles on the "Morning Star". If they are handed over to the machine gunners to drive them and open the road ahead, the safety factor will be greatly improved.

If you choose to return to Megall and find another way, it will be a troublesome thing to break through the border blockade of the empire. Secondly, the sailing time of six months is too long. However, if it passes through the gap area, the travel time is reduced by 3 times if it takes only 2 months at most. Moreover, this is tantamount to opening a new channel, a new channel that belongs only to him. From then on, "Lost Land" will truly become his back garden of technology. After collecting all the materials to make the dimensional lock and successfully repairing the "Ashtolando" system, the "Lost Land" will be fully recovered and become the cornerstone of his strong rise.

"Emma, ​​how is it?"

"Commander, the star map and the dimensional lock distribution map have been integrated, and useful information has been collected."

"Okay." Tang Fang nodded, held Emma back, and turned to look at Freya: "This is the matter, let's go, go to'Solna' again, and go back home when you are done."

"Then...this...the dimensional roaming terminal is not repaired?"

Tang Fang glanced back at the gloomy interstellar door and smiled slightly: "The day will be long." Then, he sent a dormant command to the Psionic Flame, and awakened a "Cupid" in the warehouse, and Fulei Ya walked out of the hall.

At this moment, Freya was already familiar with the function of the ankle ring. She simply tore off her combat boots and hugged it in her arms, like a cheerful jungle elf, babbling, swaying around Tang Fang, swaying past, and sending out from time to time. Several chuckles like silver bells.

Considering that her body is very unusual, and it is not harmful to be exposed to a vacuum environment, Tang Fang ignored her, set up two "Cupids", stepped into the cockpit and sat down.

After a while, the girl Xu was tired of playing. She had a pair of snow-white little feet, and held in her arms the large canned beef that Tang Fang had brought from the Morningstar before she left. She sat down in the co-pilot and ignored her. Greasy, he stuffed his mouth vigorously, groaning and yelling: "Go, go, go early and return early."

Tang Fang turned his head and glanced at her. He felt like Ming Jing for the girl's little abacus. The girl specified that she wanted to show off the pair of "hot wheels" on her feet in front of Tang Yun, Linglong and others. (To be continued)
