Super Dimension Technology Era

Asteroid belt spring zone - rain zone.

After more than a month of intensive construction by nanorobots, using the surrounding debris, a super-large base with a diameter of 1,500 meters is floating in the asteroid belt.

There are also Phoenix satellites responsible for escorting the surroundings, as well as three Huo Qubing-class battleships.

The spherical spacecraft was wrapped inside the scientific research base, and a large number of monitoring instruments monitored the spherical spacecraft around the clock.

All operators and scientific researchers are on a transport ship on the side of the scientific research base. The scientific committee has formulated very comprehensive and strict research management regulations for this kind of extraterrestrial civilization.

After all, no one knows what is hidden on the spherical spaceship. If you are not careful and foolishly use real people to contact it, that is not research, that is risking your life.

If the neutrino detector has the highest accuracy, Ma Zhili has already observed the materials on the outer shell and interior of the spacecraft. Although there is only a thin layer of the peculiar 16-neutron degenerate state material, none of the researchers present took it lightly.

They used all the means currently available to humans, whether it was lasers, nanorobots, or kinetic energy impacts, it was difficult to break through the outer shell of the spacecraft.

As for why we know that there is only a thin layer, that is because Ma Zhili calculated that the spacecraft has only one layer of 16-neutron degenerate material by weighing the spacecraft.

Because the density of the 16-neutron degenerate material is very high, for the same cubic meter, the weight of steel is only about 0.24% of that of the 16-neutron degenerate material.

If the spherical spacecraft were entirely made of this material, its weight might be as high as 300 million tons.

However, the measured weight of the spacecraft was only 4,372 tons. The difference between this data and the estimated 300 million tons is really huge.

The most reasonable explanation is that there is only a thin layer of 16-neutron degenerate material, which only serves as defense and skeleton support for the spacecraft shell.

Analysis of the material at the tear further proved Ma Zhili's guess.

…

Ma Zhili's stand-in robot floated the three of them towards the gap in the spherical spaceship.

Today they came here to crack the hatch of the passage. Simback, who previously worked at the Institute of Life Sciences, also came here through a stand-in robot.

It's just that he seemed a little tough in his movements. Although he was assisted by artificial intelligence, because the scientific research base in the asteroid belt was 110 million kilometers away from Blue Star, communication was delayed by more than ten minutes.

Therefore, using a stand-in robot will appear very stiff and uncoordinated, but there is no way now. For safety, they can only use this method.

"Sim, we're here." Ma Zhili stopped.

After looking up at the eye-shaped spaceship, Simbek suddenly woke up. No wonder the lizard people's biochemical technology was so powerful. It turned out that they had obtained an alien spacecraft.

He is also very interested in the Nibelungs now. After all, he is a German, and the myth of the Nibelungs is their German myth.

But he didn't expect that myths and legends actually had real-life references, and they were also aliens.

Entering one of the passages, the lights on their bodies automatically illuminated, and the top and bottom of the passage were as smooth as a mirror, making them look seamless.

The circular hatch is right in front of you.

"Sim, give it a try!" Ma Zhili gave up his position to the other party.

"Okay." Simbek concentrated on controlling the exoskeleton armor on the side.

Inside the exoskeleton armor is a cloned lizardman. This technology was developed by Simback.

Regarding cloning technology, New Humanity has not been applied to the human body on a large scale. It has only developed artificial stem cells and artificial organs.

On the contrary, the breeding industry is trying to use this technology to produce artificial beef, which is intended to be used to replenish outer space.

This cloned lizardman has been controlled using brainwave glasses, and his entire memory is blank, so Simbeck can easily control him.

Sure enough, when the lizard man approached the hatch, the detection equipment detected an X-ray signal and a microwave signal near the hatch.

Ma Zhili and Simbek looked at each other, and then Ma Zhili nodded cautiously.

The lizard man stood for more than ten seconds, and suddenly a virtual floating window panel popped up in front of him. A line of unknown text appeared on the panel, as well as 16 buttons, and something similar to a countdown.

[Is it the key?]

[Most likely. ] Ma Zhili activated the base's supercomputer and tried his best to decipher these words.

After 24 seconds, the virtual floating window panel disappeared by itself.

Simbeck controlled the lizard man to leave the cabin door. He was waiting for the results of the supercomputer decipherment. The researchers had already expected the secret key.

But they are helpless now. The password must not be randomly tried. If there is a setting on the spacecraft that will cause it to self-destruct if there are many mistakes, it will be a disaster.

Soon the supercomputer deciphered the possible meaning of the panel symbols, but Ma Zhili didn't have much hope.

[Let's go and talk in our lab again. ]

With more than a dozen symbols, even top linguists will have a headache. Now it seems that the only way to break through is by force.

But the strength of degenerate materials cannot be broken by new humans now.

what to do?

For a while, the researchers were at a loss.

Now they faced this spherical spacecraft, which was simply a turtle shell, and it was also a degenerate turtle shell, so they had no way of starting.

Even if it was bombarded with neutrons continuously, the turtle shell was still unscathed, which worried Ma Zhili and others.

As the only insider, he is probably that Adam, but now that guy has been reduced to rubble. Even if it can be cloned, what about the memory?

No solution!

Unless new humans now develop degenerate materials, it will be possible to break through the turtle shell in front of them.

Ma Zhili himself is engaged in the research of neutron degenerate materials. The current research progress of New Humanity in this area can only be described by one idiom - it is difficult to make progress.

More than half a month later.

Ma Zhili took the risk to control the cloned lizardman, entered a secret key, and confirmed that the wrong word was entered in Nibelonic.

As for the second attempt, Ma Zhili and others did not dare to make it at all.

Generally speaking, if the password is entered incorrectly, there will be no countermeasures for the first time, but the risk will rise sharply from the second time.

If there were antimatter bombs or the like on the Nibelung spacecraft, the threat would be extremely terrifying.

…

After Huang Mingzhe listened to Ma Zhili's report, he thought for a while and said: "Old Ma, you think of other ways next, and don't try the password."

"Chairman, I still have this sense of propriety." Ma Zhili replied quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

After explaining the relevant work, Ma Zhili left in a hurry.

Huang Mingzhe was the only one left in the office. He was thinking about the Nibelung spaceship in silence. Although he very much hoped to decipher the secrets, he knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

"You have to be strong to make iron." He muttered to himself. He didn't feel sad that he couldn't crack the Nibelung spacecraft.

After all, if you can get alien technology, just research it. If you can't get it, it's no big deal.

It is best for new humanity to be more down-to-earth in its scientific and technological development and not think about pie-in-the-sky all day long.

Turning on the virtual display, he quickly flipped through the progress of the Lunar Large Particle Collider project. This was what he should be concerned about now.
