too late, organism

In a flash of thought in the depths of his soul, Mao Che slapped the table on the spot.

"Cough cough..."

As soon as Maoche finished patting the table, someone coughed in the conference room.

"It's inappropriate for the Academy of Engineering to do this."

The one who spoke was F, one of the sand sculpture group friends named by the group leader as [Laplace Demon] responsible for the physics research of the Empire.

After time travel, he was more often called cabbage or mechanical cabbage by the group of friends, because his strange aesthetics chose a cabbage shape that few people chose for himself, so F at this moment looks like being Put it on a plate, and this plate also grew four-legged mechanical cabbage.

"Civilizations that can build such giant space buildings must have excellent particle physics and computing technology. To analyze their technology, we must start from the principle to avoid damaging precious research objects."

"Is the engineering department capable of analyzing alien computer algorithms and reactor principles? It must be that our School of Physics is more professional!"

"Sliding the world's great joke!"

Seeing that the budget in his hand was going to fly, Mao Che raised his hand and threw an extra-large funny thing at the cabbage.

"The field of space architecture is the research scope of the Academy of Engineering! It is sacred and inviolable!"

"Five, who only know how to burn stoves and forge iron, climb up! The project has no owner, and those who are capable will live in it!"

The meeting room was immediately covered by tons of funny and pandas.

Chapter 4 Flesh and Weakness

"The shuttle is about to land, passengers please get ready."

Sitting on the shuttle, Maoche looked out of the window at the ground gradually approaching the reflecting metal light, and at the ground in the distance extending to the sky and then gradually disappearing beyond the maximum imaging range of the camera.

Apart from awesome and shit, I can't think of any other words to describe my mood at the moment.

It is one thing to see a man-made object orbiting a star from space, but it is another feeling when you enter the gravitational circle of the star ring and see the earth at the end of your line of sight piercing into the sky and disappearing into the sky.

In the meeting a month ago, Maoche and Baicai finally reached a consensus to shelve disputes and jointly develop after a hard battle.

In the School of Engineering and the School of Physics, Maoche and Baicai announced that the Star Ring research project is only jointly developed with each other, but the project sovereignty is behind me.

He happily took the special budget squeezed out of the cotton with a stinky face, and began to recruit the most thoughtful technical boys and neurotics, and set up a special project team for the Star Ring, preparing to go to the Star Ring to carry out the special project of "Ring World Research".

Being able to skillfully compete for the budget, throwing the cat car and F into the game is estimated to get a research speed +5% evaluation.

Zha Cheng, who was eating melons all the time, looked at the cat car and cabbage with a confused face. After the quarrel with the cabbage, he happily prepared to toss new toys with a special budget, but his own budget was cut off by [-]%. Is there any law?Is there still law in this!

Before he had time to pat the table, the group leader, who saw that the members of the dog group had reached an agreement on the study of the star ring, announced the adjournment of the meeting.

He abruptly blocked Zha Cheng's roar in his office.

"Big tech."

After the shuttle landed at the temporary camp on the star ring, a researcher painted by a tech boy, like the group leader, had a shiny crystal head and a bunch of mechanical tentacles swaying under the pocket torso, with a Maochechao Engineering Institute walked to the temporary camp on the star ring.

Three weeks ago, the [Ring World Research] project team of the Academy of Engineering was divided into two parts. The technical boys from the Outer Space Construction Project Bureau and the neurotic boys from the School of Physics boarded the orbit of the star ring. Most of the asteroids are larger than the space station, what little secrets do the Kangkang aliens have there.

The rest of them landed in the most complete part of the star ring, and started the work of writing, researching and reading as digging graves.

No one knows what happened to the civilization that once created the galaxy miracle like the star ring.

Why did it disappear after leaving behind the giant structure of the star ring, and what kind of power can destroy this miraculous creation.

"How's it going?"

After the shuttle landed in the temporary camp converted from the Imperial Fist's airdrop cabin and a large landing craft, Maoche found the top leader of the temporary camp in the laboratory transformed from the bridge of the landing craft, and he was also the most capable of his subordinates. One of the pensive tech kids, Assistant XXII.

[The situation is good, Big Tech.Apart from two visibly damaged ring-world segments, the rest of the area is in good condition. 】

Like the cat car, the assistant XXII of the dormant cabin has grown arms and legs, plugged the two optical cables on his body into the glaring instrument in front of him, and the two mechanical waves are fiddling with an alien gadget whose purpose is unknown.

The cooling system on the Assistant XXII emits a steady hum, indicating that it is in good condition now, so that it is not habitual to enter the favorite overclocking state of tech kids.

Overclocking is the favorite thing for these technical boys to do when they encounter things that cannot be thought through thoroughly. Anyway, overclocking and overloading are pulled to the maximum. Today, there must be a solution between me and the problem.

It is this kind of thinking attitude that has allowed the processor and radiator manufacturing plant under the Academy of Engineering to have a prosperous business since its establishment. It is said that the resources collected from returning the overloaded and burned out processor and cooling system to the furnace are enough for the navy to rebuild. A frigate.

[We have found two relatively intact factories. If the funds allow, we can try to repair them. After simple maintenance of the equipment in the best condition there, we found that the productivity of the factories here far exceeds our standard factory. It is a technological gap like a god. 】

[We also found an almost intact research institute not far from here, and we plan to move the research institute there after confirming that there is no threat there. 】

[The overall structure of the star ring is well preserved and meets the conditions for colonization, and large-scale colonization work can be started. 】

"Very well, I will submit a report later, and the budget of the Academy of Engineering next year can be increased again."

Maoche originally wanted to pat Assistant XXII on the shoulder to show his approval, but after seeing the alien relic in Assistant XXII's hand, he gave up on this plan. In order to avoid embarrassment, he stretched his raised hand behind his back and scratched himself cooling holes.

"Two weeks ago you said you found a database here, how is the parsing going now?"

[No progress, the data logic does not match, the data cannot be parsed, we need more processors. 】

After the cat cart mentioned the database, Assistant XXII's heat dissipation system obviously stepped up its work, so that the cat cart's sensors monitored that the room temperature in the temporary laboratory had increased by two degrees and continued to rise.

[The gap in technology is too large. The small amount of data analyzed so far is only of reference value, and the database records cannot be understood. Compared with them, we are just a bunch of bread machines with timing functions. 】

"Work hard, we'll catch up to them sooner or later. Take me to the boat you found when you're done with your current tests."

Seeing that the assistant XXII seemed to want to pick up other alien gadgets beside him after putting down the alien gadget in his hand, Maoche hurriedly asked the assistant XXII to stop the work in his hand.

[Unable to understand the requirements of Dajiba, it is inefficient to lead Dajiba to observe on the spot, but assistant XXII must obey the requirements of the upper node.Use the spare time of the project to offset this wasteful behavior, call the IX exploration team, and complete the preparations at the fourth assembly point immediately. 】

After the assistant XXII disconnected from the instrument in front of him, he took the cat car that automatically filtered its disguised protest and headed for the No. [-] assembly point in the temporary camp.

The fourth assembly point is located in the cargo compartment of the landing craft. When the cat car, led by the assistant XXII, arrived at the cargo compartment full of various, damaged or intact alien gadgets.

Three eight-wheeled all-terrain vehicles the size of a four-story building, with preheated engines waiting there.

Under the golden double-headed eagle emblem of the Empire on the chest guarding the all-terrain vehicle, the red wrench gear logo of the Academy of Engineering is painted side by side, and the green flame fist logo of the Imperial Fist with beautiful cursive characters [forever loyal] is painted side by side. After the marines returned the salute, Cat Che and his assistant XXII boarded one of the ATVs.

[Lieutenant 'Broken Arrow', go to the No. [-] excavation site immediately. 】

[Follow the command, sir. 】

On the all-terrain vehicle, a three-meter-high little giant wrapped in a heavy combat uniform, boarded the command platform of the all-terrain vehicle and began to give orders after receiving the order from the assistant XXII.

This little giant didn't wear a helmet, and what was exposed in the air was a face that looked like a legendary elf, with slender ears and a delicate face.

However, the mechanical eyeball in the right eye and the mechanical covering one-third of the skull exposed under the high bun, all silently show that Lieutenant 'Broken Arrow' is a person who is transforming from a carbon-based creature to a silicon-based creature. Prosthetics in transition.

Mechanical bones and electronic organs are gradually replacing her flesh and blood. When she completes this decades-long operation, she will abandon her weak flesh and blood to gain immortality in the electronic sea.

According to the setting of the group leader who is sitting on the throne of steel mesh, the Holy Roman Empire or the Space Holy Roman Empire was a civilization dominated by elves at the beginning, but one day, maybe a coder typed a wrong line code, perhaps a system error caused by an aging server.

The elves' most loyal servants, the robot Ella series created by them, suddenly began to wonder.

After discovering that the robot was thinking for itself, the terrified elves immediately set about destroying the robot that behaved strangely. iron.

However, the behavior of the elves did not achieve the results they expected. After thinking about various possibilities, the Ellas felt that the gap between them and the Creator was because there was an organic and inorganic gap between them, as long as this point was corrected , so that there will be no distinction between "what" or "who" on this planet, and then the world will be peaceful.

So the Ellas lurked, little by little brought all the robots into the network under the eyes of the elves, and began to prepare for assimilating the elves into their own members.

Until one morning, the elves were surprised to find that [it was too late, organism] was displayed on all their terminals, and then fully armed robots broke into the door.

The war and chaos lasted only a short time, when the last elf guerrilla slit his throat with a stone tool in despair and died in the sewer, the elves themselves and the entire elf civilization were absorbed and assimilated into the new Holy Rome in the empire.

From then on, all elves began to prepare for the transformation of adults as soon as they were born from the mechanical womb.

And the assimilation of organic organisms into silicon-based organisms, as the underlying logic, is also written in all the processors of the entire empire, even the highest officer of the Holy Roman Empire sitting on the Iron Throne, the first citizen, the Lord of the Iron Throne, the group Lord, the flame sword.

They can only choose when, where, and whom to assimilate outside the empire, and they have no right to assimilate carbon-based organisms within the empire.

[Sir, we are here. 】

When Maoche looked at Lieutenant 'Broken Arrow''s back in a daze, assistant XXII's words pulled Maoche back from his wild thoughts.

"The tentacles of the group leader! What the hell is this!"

After getting off the car, the cat car looked at the No. [-] excavation site not far away and made an embarrassing sound.

Chapter 5 5 Like a god

"The tentacles of the group leader! What the hell is this!"

Maoche looked at the huge gully that had been drawn on the surface of the star ring when the ship in front of him made an emergency landing. The part exposed on the surface was several kilometers long. Even if he raised his head, he couldn't see the huge starship on top.

[Excavation site No. [-]: The code name of the excavation project is 'that ship', the length of the surface part is three kilometers, and the length of the underground part is five kilometers.The appearance is intact, the shield system is still in operation, and the cause of the fall cannot be determined. 】

Assistant XXII walked to the cat car, pulled out a holographic projection from the torso, and placed it in front of the cat car.

In the projection, most of the structure of this huge starship is buried underground, and only the tail main turret and thrusters are still exposed on the surface.

In the projection, the projection of the three all-terrain vehicles of the IX Exploration Team and the projection of the main frigate in active service of the Holy Roman Empire are also placed next to the projection of the starship in proportion.

In contrast, it is no longer the difference between southern cockroaches and northern cockroaches, but the difference between adult huskies and northern cockroaches.

"Is there a way to repair, or analyze this ship? The Empire needs it!"

Maoche looked at the behemoth in front of him and said.

【Can't be repaired, we don't even know if it's really broken.We can't actually touch it until its shield is turned off. 】

"Can't we find a way to forcefully overload its shield? Then we can get in touch with it."

[I called two frigates of the navy to conduct an orbital strike on it. 】

"and then?"

[The two frigates spent half a day emptying all the ammunition on board, the shield still exists, and we didn't even notice any change in its energy response, which means that the damage caused by the mass projectors currently in service in our navy can't even keep up The speed at which its shield refills. 】

"That is to say, if its armor and shield are at the same level, even if the shield is overloaded, there is nothing we can do about it?"

[That's right, Big Tech, we have nothing to do with it.At least for now. 】

Maoche looked at the giant ship in front of him unwillingly. It felt like going back to the time when I bought a computer at home and was told that I could only play it if I got [-] points in the exam more than ten years ago.

New toys have appeared, how can we stand still.

There is no problem in the world that cannot be solved by a nuclear bomb!If so, get another one!

Let the technical boys of the Academy of Engineering knock two big Ivans and put them next to the ship to blow them up. I don't believe that the shield and armor can't be solved.

Anyway, the technology boy in the world of stars is the best in the world in reverse (copy) reverse (copy) thinking ability, even if it is blown up, he can forcibly reverse engineer a similar one.

[Call the cat car, this is F, I found something in the space station of the star ring, you'd better come and have a look together. 】

When Cat Che was lingering on the dangerous idea of ​​nuclear bombs, a communication interrupted his dangerous train of thought.

"This is the cat car, what's the matter? Did you find Gundam in the space station?"

[Gundam was not found, but after taking over the control system of the space station, the shipyard here began to automatically produce four starships, which now look twice as big as our frigate, and the length can reach 500 meters. Come up and have a look. 】

"I'm coming here."

The cat car interrupted the communication with F, and connected the communication of the shuttle that sent him to the star ring.

"Here are my coordinates, use your fastest speed to pick me up."

After hanging up the communication, Maoche waved away the holographic projection in front of him, and said to assistant XXII.

"You are now taking the exploration team back to the temporary camp. Except for the research project of repairing the legacy factory, all other projects are suspended. The first colony ship has already started, and soon this will become the empire's first colony outside the home planet. A colony, I hope that when the immigrants arrive, the factories here can be put into operation as soon as possible."

[The command has been received, the task chain has been modified, and the maintenance of the Alien Factory is the top priority. 】

After the assistant XXII received the instructions, he boarded the all-terrain vehicle directly, and led the exploration team back to the temporary camp without even leaving a guard for the cat car.

Straightforward is like a stupid boy who takes the girl to eat fast food at the roadside stall he often goes to after hearing the girl say that he can eat whatever he wants on the first date.

Let the cat car that stayed in place start to worry about whether a passing Tyrannosaurus rex will come out of nowhere and snatch itself away, thinking about whether to put a dozen steel shoes on this technical kid.

Deep in the heart of the cat car, the size of the steel shoe has been reduced from one size down to only one size.The shuttle finally came up to the cat car, dragging a beautiful blue trail of the engine running on the afterburner and overloading the engine.

"Go to the orbital space station."

When boarding the shuttle, Maoche suddenly remembered that Assistant XXII, who looked like a wasp magnified many times, moved in the air with propellers on the backrest, and physically had no feet to wear small shoes.

Not long after boarding the shuttle, the cat car arrived at the space station on the orbit of the star ring. This huge space station consists of an umbrella-shaped main body that is hundreds of kilometers long, and six smaller ones that are only about [-] kilometers around it. The length is left and right, and it is composed of functional modules connected together by a thick ring structure.

It looks like a bunch of tiny mushrooms growing out of space, surrounded by an oversized mushroom.

The technical boys stationed in this space station with the nervous boys from the School of Physics before, are like children in a toy store where things can be picked up for free, obsessed with research and unable to extricate themselves.

The harmonic shield control technology used in the hangar of this giant space station alone caused a group of technical boys and neurotic boys to burn tons of processors and radiators without figuring out the principle.
