Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Back in the volcanic area, Yu Di Tuping went straight to the drilling crew, but was in vain.Hu Wen's assistant said that he went to the government building and had just left.Tu Ping tried to contact him, but there was no response, so she dragged Yu Di back to the boat and asked the driver to take them to the first highland.

From the volcano area to the government building, it is slightly closer than going back to the temporary residence.Their boat was so fast that they overtook Hu Wen halfway.Hu Wen noticed them and switched on the on-board communication.

"Did you come to see me?"

"Yes, Yu Di's renovation plan is finished, and there is something I want to discuss with you about my model. What are you going to do in the government building?"

"We found something in the lower star mantle. Let's not talk about it, I have to seriously sail, you just follow me, if there is anything to say, wait until the parliament."

"it is good."

Soon, they reached their destination.Thanks to the designer of the government building at the time, Ulu’s "round aesthetic" was brought to the extreme. After the 11.97-degree inclination, the whole building can still be used normally. It’s just some spray marks. Now I have to tilt my head look.

Uru in the government building seemed busier than the Academy of Sciences, and those behind the service desk were operating several communicators at the same time.There were guards patrolling the gate, and after parking the boat, Tu Ping swam in with Yu Di.As the focus of attention, there are also many Ulu in the government who recognize Yu Di.Especially her flamboyant big fish tank, which is too conspicuous.

A staff member quickly put down the communicator in his hand, swam out from behind the service desk, and stopped them: "Comrade, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Hu Wen swam up to them: "I am Hu Wen from the temporary base in the volcano area of ​​the Academy of Sciences, and I have an appointment with the communicators of the parliament today."

"That's it, then please wait a moment."

The other party swam back to the service desk, confirmed Hu Wen's appointment information, took out a coin-sized device, and placed it in a square instrument for a second. Yu Di could see the slight water waves rising from the center of the instrument.

Seeing Yu Di's curious eyes, Tu Ping quietly explained: "This is called positioning, and it's a kind of passport." Yu Di blinked, but her little brain couldn't connect the name with its function.She thought about it, let's say it was a translation error.

Hu Wen took the small coin and went straight to the innermost floor of the government building.On the way, I passed several locked doors, all of which were opened by this gadget.Although she has a certain degree of understanding of the internal structure of the Ulu building, she will still get lost if she really makes Yudi go around in these circles.

Naturally, Hu Wen was not as crazy as Yu Di, an alien, and soon swam in a downward direction, stopped in front of an unguarded door, and tapped a few times with his tentacles.

"Come in." A rather steady voice came from under the door, and Hu Wen just pushed open the door and swam in.

There is a ring of huge alcoves in the room, and each alcove has what looks like a seat.Three of the niches contain Uru, all with the same instrument on their heads.

Although Yu Di looked at these instruments with the same curiosity, it was obviously not the time to explain.They came over without an appointment, and they didn't know if they would cause trouble to each other.Tu Ping put the fish tank containing the Yudi on the ground, quietly waiting for Hu Wen to introduce herself.

"Excuse me, these two are my colleagues, they belong to two different project teams, and they all have reports, so I brought them here."

"It's okay." Ulu, who happened to be facing them, waved his tentacles, "You are all welcome."

Only then did Tu Ping feel relieved.

"Then I won't talk nonsense. I have sent you a summary of the data of the various drilling groups before. The cavities we found in the lower mantle are almost all connected together through sonar mapping, and are connected through Going deeper. I came here to apply for another batch of materials, make new detectors, and explore as far as possible in the star core."

"We have read the information carefully. How confident are you that you can mine qualified ore? You should know that the cost of new materials is too high. The more the loss, the greater the pressure on the people. This meteorite disaster has caused great harm to the people. If mining is expected to be too bad, it may only be postponed temporarily."

"I'm sure this time!" Hu Wen handed over a metal plate, "This is the amount of radiation recorded by our detectors at the extreme position. If we have better materials, we can definitely get something out of it." .”

"Hold on."

The three communicators read the data on the metal plate at the same time, discussed in private for a while, and did not directly reply to Hu Wen's request.The communicator who was facing them turned his eyes to Yu Di: "We still need to discuss and coordinate this issue. What did your colleagues find?"

Yu Di signaled Tu Ping to speak first.

Tu Ping didn't come to ask for something, she only gave a brief report on the new route, and then shifted the topic to Yu Di: "This is our engineer in charge of the engine modification plan, I will discuss it with her on the way here over this."

"Comrade Hu Wen told us about the engine modification, your plan was completed so quickly?"

Yu Di nodded: "It's just a preliminary plan, and the actual removal and replacement of the line still needs to be done by the engineering team." She then shifted her gaze to Hu Wen, "The extraterrestrial jump experiment of the zero machine has to be put on the agenda."

It is necessary to ensure that the new nuclear power engine can also operate normally under the conditions of outer space before it can be scaled up and connected to the spacecraft.

Hu Wen clung to the tentacles, looking distressed.

"Recently, my main attention has been on the lower mantle cavity. The related experiments of No. [-] machine have been handed over to other researchers. The outer space experiments are a bit difficult, and they are still preparing."

Yu Di thought for a while: "If a No. [-] machine is reproduced and equipped with Tu Ping's AI navigation system, will it be possible to conduct engine testing and new route exploration at the same time?"

Hu Wen nodded: "In theory, it is possible. But I am afraid that if something goes wrong during the transition, the data will not be transmitted back, and we will not know which link needs to be re-corrected."

"We can conduct short-distance experiments first and choose a transition point that can transmit information."

"Yes, yes. But if we use the trial and error method to test, I worry that the existing resource reserves will not be enough." Hu Wen looked at the communicator, "In the final analysis, energy is the fundamental."

The communicators discussed privately again: "Your application will be approved within two hours, but this will be the last allocation of additional material for the drilling program in three years. On behalf of all of Ulu, we admire your commitment .Although the future needs to be considered, we cannot give up on the present. People's living standards have dropped significantly, and they cannot afford more expenditures."

"I understand." Hu Wen nodded solemnly, "I will maximize the use of this batch of materials."

The communicator nodded: "If there is nothing else, you can leave first."

"Wait a minute," Tu Ping raised her tentacles, "Can I apply for Yu Dichang to wait on the spaceship?"

The communicator showed a puzzled look, and after listening to Tu Ping and Yu Di's explanation, she waved her tentacles: "Approved. I contacted the clerk, and I will go to No. [-] of the Third Ring Road to register later."

Until returning to Tu Ping's boat, Yu Di looked at the time—such a few important things were finished in less than half a day?The service efficiency of a mature civilization is terrifying.

"The two of you can rest for a few days." After going out, Hu Wen looked at them happily and said, "I think Yu Di's idea of ​​No. After the No. [-] machine is built, I will talk to Ulu of the spaceship team to see if it can be combined for testing.”

"That's great." Hearing this, Tu Ping turned around happily, "Mr. Hu, you go back to the volcano area first, and I'll send Yudi to the spaceship."

"Go, be safe on the road."
