".Incomprehensible phenomenon?"

This description surprised Vidoville - when the problem was placed at this level, this sentence itself had considerable weight.

Although the Federation's technology still has a large number of unsolved problems in the universe, under the premise of 35 billion years of technological research and expansion, the Federation is still basically clear about most of the contents of this universe.

The Federation has basically recorded most of the celestial bodies and non-entity phenomena in the universe that have regular patterns, and these contents that belong to the cosmic environment are obviously not enough to become "incomprehensible phenomena."

If we talk about deeper content, the federation also has a considerable level of expansion and application:

In current deep space navigation technology, the most commonly used ultra-long-distance navigation method to remove time distortion is to use a completely warped and closed space bubble to wrap the spacecraft and give this layer of warped space an anchor point that is very similar to the destination anchor point. "Vibration frequency" is then "pulled" directly by the anchor point, thereby achieving ultra-long-distance navigation. Every large-scale transportation hub has such a unique ultra-large space frequency vibration generation base station, and the frequency used by the spacecraft is "extremely Similar" rather than "identical".

In this way, even if two spacecrafts set off from one place to their destination, they will not interfere with each other, because even if they are the same spacecraft, their actual conditions will not be exactly the same.

Differences in this subtle vibration will lead to substantial acceptable relative errors. These errors can effectively avoid catastrophic accidents. This technology was produced after the friction between the Federation and strange space phenomena in the universe. In terms of super-dimensionality, short- and medium-range high-dimensional property transitions have long been a mature technology.

Although black boxes still exist in these processes, as parts that have long been understood, these black boxes are gradually being dismantled by the modeling system at a slow speed - this is true for all unknown areas.

Even those phenomena that are weaponized and can almost only be temporarily created, the Federation has a considerable degree of analysis of them.

In short, in the face of various situations that may arise in the universe, federal technical personnel should be capable enough to face them, or at least be able to come up with reasonable hypotheses and basic structural conjectures, so that they can directly deal with them in such a short period of time. It’s really strange to say “incomprehensible”.

As the First Consul of the Federation, Weisrifan is theoretically the real event handler of the Federation. She is connected to the Federation’s most powerful databases and networks, as well as her own exclusive advisory group and other think tanks at many levels. If support is still needed under such circumstances, the specific details of the related content will often require mappers and mathematicians to be busy for a while.

"At present, the Federation is not in a position to affect the whole body...but...I hope this anomaly can be classified as an abnormal structure in the end...Theodal's distortion circuit leaves too many problems..."

Vidoville turned off the holographic display in front of him and edited a message directly in his mind. With the help of the information collection network, this message was sent directly to the commander of the permanent army in the third hexagram:

"Calost, the Archon's secret order - there is a major problem at a permanent outpost in the third hexagram. The reason is unknown, and the fleet is required to provide support. This mission is the highest level covert operation, and the temporary mission details have been uploaded."

"Understood, Archon. Execute the corresponding process, and the live record of the hidden army call has been synchronized."

Vidoville reached out and activated a holographic information display window in front of him. With a thought in his mind, a chair was randomly generated behind him. In the holographic display screen, there was a special fleet that had been assembled to deal with major unknown issues.

Among them, the "Taroga" class self-sustained deep space large battleship as the main force of the fleet and the leader of the "Goddess Bee" class complete engineering ship are particularly eye-catching. The former has a fusiform hull commonly used in Federation battleships, while the latter has a hull It is composed of multiple rectangular bodies combined with a hoop structure. Inside these huge armored boxes, the highest federal standard mobile hazardous source isolation cabins and a complete set of frontline industrial systems are stored.

"Start performing spatial resonance matching. Authorization code has been submitted. Confidential level. Start execution."

In the holographic image, as the focus of the line of sight jumped again and again between the hulls of 100,000 kilometers, light flashed in the darkness one after another - the light source did not come from the engine, but from the chromatic nuclear armor on the surface of the hull. Reflected starlight. This "strongest material" that the Federation can mass-produce has always shown its elegance and indestructibility in the extended time and space in the most gentle and elegant way.

On the outside of the fleet, a layer of crystal-clear total reflection mirror gradually emerged. This is the result of the fleet's public warp space generator. A layer of closed warp space is wrapping the entire fleet. When this layer of warp space After the space is completed, compared to the entire universe, the space where this fleet is located becomes a small bubble, independent of the current universe, free from the constraints of the light speed barrier, and their speed can theoretically be reaches infinity.

The mirror slowly closed. From observation, the fleet was already independent of time and space. With a burst of starlight distortion, the space bubble disappeared into the starry sky.

In the state of space resonance navigation, the communication bandwidth will be extremely limited, and only some special means can transmit information - most of them were used long ago by the last Federation machine that was large enough to penetrate the nebula. Created by extremely high-energy gravitational wave shock accelerators created in the open deep space environment:

During the highest energy level impact test at overload power, an incomprehensible large-scale vacuum fluctuation occurred inside the equipment, a strange malfunction occurred in the entropy tester, and a huge explosion occurred in the accelerator, with a blazing glow that was incomprehensible. The method was released from the reaction end of the accelerator, destroying everything on site and then disappearing.

Since the results of the experiment were finally confirmed to be usable, the Federation did not rebuild the test site. For the Federation, the cost of taking any action against such a large-scale facility is quite high.

However, the abnormal phenomena that occurred after the explosion also attracted sufficient attention from scholars at the time. The current information collection network comes from the research results brought about by that accident. Scientists have discovered that certain "fluctuations" seem to be independent of entropy. Beyond the influence of value, it ignores the speed of light barrier and is extremely difficult to be interfered with. Such characteristics allow Nuoda's universe to have a truly complete and stable ultra-wide-area instant communication method.

"The stagnation at the end of theory has lasted for a long time, and a considerable part of these problems are very young..." At the same time that a bottom-level thinking thread began to start, the database lost no opportunity to match individual thread access requests with The main network is connected together.

…

Under the guidance of the army's navigation system, Victorville's perspective switched to the destination—the border A1 hub of the third hexagram, a "fortress" shaped like a double-pointed cone.

The original rocky surface of the planet has been replaced and reshaped. The metal-rich mantle and core have been reshaped by atomic arrangement and turned into two huge cone-shaped broadcast towers that fit together. The central axes of the two broadcast towers are The celestial coordinate axes of the three-dimensional main material plane are absolutely parallel, and space vibration waves are released from these two mutually symmetrical spiers, forming an "anchorage" within a light-day range around the hub. Such a range is enough to accommodate ships approaching from different directions from the entire universe to dock and repair.

However, as soon as the perspective switched here, Vidoville's eyes were immediately attracted. In the border area close to the universe, the density of galaxies is much smaller, and their color is also biased toward orange-red due to the aging of the main stars. The brightness is It was also faint, and most of the accretion disks of quasars did not exceed a hundred light-years in diameter. Every quasar in this part had already been registered in the database, but Victorville saw something unusual. :

On the dark space background, a golden light spot appeared in what should have been an empty area. The brightness was extremely high, and a clear structure could be seen directly. In the center of the light spot, there is a tiny lightless area, and on the periphery of the black area, a clear dividing line separates the dark "hole" from the golden radiating structure on the periphery, and this weird structure is exactly in the direction of the outpost. .

In the first time, the huge database matched dozens of "impossible" items:

Not to mention what this weird structure is, the outpost in question is at least two billion light-years away from the hub in a straight line. Even if the perspective problem is not considered, just the optical facilities in the hub can capture the scene. It’s hard enough to understand——

The total time from when Weisruifan issued the notice to him to the current action is less than five hours. Even if the response time of Weisruifan and the information collection network is added, the total time will not exceed seven hours. , in such a short period of time, the "light" emitted by this structure spanned a distance of more than two billion light years.

And it does not seem to have any level of distortion structure. All filtering facilities and deflection prisms are without warning - even the main shield of the entire central facility is the same.

"--What's this?!"

"Archon, a large number of abnormal records have been detected. All stages of screening have been carried out before communication. All shielding systems have been deployed. After confirming that the distortion is allowed, communication will begin - we have received a new coordinate, the format is deep space gravity-free focus type. , through comparison, it was found that the coordinates are about five thousand light years away from the original outpost." Calost's voice sounded in Vidoville's mind.

"...Follow the navigation and go to the coordinates." Victorville thought quietly, and then responded as if suddenly awakened, "Proceed with caution, this incident may be unusual."

"Yes, the fleet is about to start a high-dimensional space jump, and the communication bandwidth will be limited again. The safety inspection has been started. If there are uncontrollable consequences when it comes into contact with abnormal environments, the "meltdown" process will start spontaneously."

"...Through the special force field generator, the spacecraft will show high-dimensional characteristics in terms of attributes, and such a spacecraft sails in the universe, just like a shadow passing through a U-shaped pipe, convenient and traceless, but, This strange force field, like the warped space bubble, will seriously interfere with communications." After confirming that the communicator could no longer respond in a short period of time, Vidoville closed his eyes.

"Cavenriel, what do you think about this matter?" After a few minutes of contemplation, Vidoville frowned slightly and connected with the chief scientist of the army.

"Consul." A new holographic information window popped up in front of Vidoville, and a figure wearing a white-gray army scientist uniform appeared in the window. As the communication was connected, the identity card information was also followed. The rules expand on the screen:

Stratus Cavenriel, federal science officer, one of the chief scientists of the federation, and chief scientist of the army.

"I don't know what exactly happened when the outpost encountered an unknown phenomenon and lost contact. You must have noticed the unknown golden structure. Just from the perspective of optics, it has many properties that are beyond our current knowledge. Unexplainable. I have contacted all the teams at the first opportunity, but..."

"...the number of people and resources are too many, and they are not suitable. Termination..."

The simple discussion seemed to be isolating them from the world.

"...To sum up, if possible, I would like to go there myself to conduct a more detailed study."

"Are you specifically responsible for this incident? Even if the responsibility system is removed...for a being like you to do such an incident from a single and entity perspective, the risk is too high and it is against the rules."

"Archon, I will make the best preparations for this matter. I have copied my thinking circuit, and I will leave a part of my soul memory. At the same time, I have prepared my own consciousness. I have taken the strongest protective measures. If I still can’t protect myself by doing this, then this will be an unstoppable threat to the Federation.”

"...Carry out confusion calculation and approve the action. It must be carried out under the highest degree of protection. Once any new abnormal phenomenon occurs, soul leap will be carried out immediately."

"learn."

"...It's a little strange."

Now, the active black box has not transmitted any strong enough ruling proposals, and all previous spacecraft are now almost in a state of semi-disconnection. Only the extremely limited bandwidth is sending out the message that the fleet is still intact. .

Victorville left the information interaction position and walked slowly to the edge of the hall. A part of the wall showed light and shadow like water waves. Soon, the original white wall disappeared. After switching to panoramic mode, Victorville Standing in front of the wide area observatory and looking into the deep sky.

As one of the Federation's most important security protections, the main shield is optically invisible.

In the dark corner of the third hexagram, a golden star shines brightly.
