Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 493 Harmonic Force Field
However, as soon as the drone flew over the giant crater, it shook uncontrollably. The two pairs of balanced rotors turned and stopped intermittently, and wisps of black smoke visible to the naked eye began to emit from the inside of the movement.

"What's going on? Is there any interference?" Ke Lan asked immediately.

"I don't know. It doesn't look like interference. The signal received by the remote control is still full..." Before Layton finished speaking, a series of sparks "cracked" from the drone, and then fell to the ground. To the bottom of the pit.

"It was shot down by something?!" The hound picked up the weapon nervously and aimed it in the direction of the huge pit.

"No, it wasn't shot down." Layton shook his head. "The last feedback message I received before the drone lost control was that the motor core was burned, and the reason for the burn was...overload."

"Overload?!" The hound froze for a moment, "How many energy crystals did you stuff into the converter?"

"No... this drone doesn't use crystal drives at all, and it doesn't have a converter installed. It uses a lithium battery." Layton said, "Even with full power output, it can't be overloaded... it must be somewhere. What's the problem!"

"Could it really have been disturbed by the outside world?" The hound asked again.

"I checked it when Ke Lan asked about it just now. If there is really interference from the outside world, the control system will definitely report an error, but now I only get the information that the motor is overloaded." Layton was a little irritated Scratching my head, "Overload means that the input current is too large in a short period of time, directly burning the movement. But the problem is that the engine movement I chose is manufactured according to the standard of the crystal engine, let alone a piece of it. The lithium battery is gone, even if the output power of a 20 yuan lithium battery is impossible to burn it down."

"This current may come from the outside." Ke Lan analyzed, "'Wireless charging technology', Layton, you should be familiar with this term... This technology has been very mature in the old era, but because of the charging process. The energy loss is too large, so it has not been promoted on a large scale. However, after this technical problem has been solved, there are still quite a lot of devices that use wireless charging technology. Last month, the new power vehicle company launched a self- A hovercar with a floating charging base?"

"You mean to say that there is an external device 'remotely charging' the drone? No, no, no...it's impossible." Layton suddenly shook his head like a rattle drum, "The infinite charging technology that has been practically applied now is mainly Two types, one is the electromagnetic induction type, but the charging efficiency of this method is not high. The most important thing is that the electromagnetic resonance is far away from... Uh, this resonance is not the same as the resonance caused by the explosion of those bugs, but the 'resonance' produced by the explosion evolved from this concept..."

He continued: "Whether it is inductive or resonant, wireless charging has a transmission distance limit. Just like those bugs, as long as the distance is long enough, even if they explode at the same time, they will not be able to cause resonance-and the drone overloaded How can it possibly be resonated when it is at least more than 100 meters away from the crystal pillars below?"

"But the base for charging the hovercar on the Ark is not so big." Aya suddenly stood up, pointing to the crystal pillars in the huge pit and said, "If you take out any of these pillars, it is enough to support the whole world. Ark’s daily consumption for a year may still be much more—such a large power and a transmission distance of 100 meters should be able to be obtained, right?”

"That's what I said, but don't forget, we were standing on the edge of this huge pit before, and the distance from the nearest crystal pillar to us was less than 100 meters - if this thing can cause electromagnetic resonance, we All the equipment on my body has been reimbursed a long time ago." Layton retorted, "Unless these crystal pillars can choose their own targets... But since it destroyed my drone, there is no reason to let those of us who used to Intruders who have come within 'its attack range'."

Aya couldn't help being silent, this is indeed something she failed to consider just now.

"The range is limited to just above the huge pit." A voice suddenly came in, and everyone followed the sound, only to see Akira Asano squatting on the ground at some point, with his hands tightly pressed against the ground.

"I can feel... an unknown force field is shrouded directly above the giant crater... My thoughts cannot invade it."

"A force field?" Ke Lan looked up subconsciously, but the corresponding dome above the giant pit was no different from the surrounding area.

"Is it a defensive force field? Something like an energy shield? No, it's not right." Layton immediately denied his guess as soon as he said it, "If it was a defensive force field, the drone would have hit it head-on. , It exploded directly... Wait a minute! I got it! This should be a resonance force field!"

"Resonant force field? What? I've never heard of it—" The hound glanced at Layton, who was a little excited at the moment.

"I created this word myself, but this concept was proposed by someone, but because it was impossible to implement, it was forgotten." Layton said quickly, spitting wildly, "Resonant force field, It is to use the 'resonance effect' of energy crystals to make a large number of crystals amplify each other, thereby generating greater output power—you see, these neatly arranged crystal columns are just a wonderful array of amplification!"

"But, it was you who said it couldn't be resonant. According to what you said now, were you just farting about your feelings?" Resonance, we are so close, it is impossible to have no influence at all?"

The hound looked up at the power armor's energy margin. Not only did it not increase, but it dropped by two percentage points from the previous inspection.

"That's why this concept can only exist in theory and cannot be implemented!" Layton said, "To make this kind of large-scale resonance force field effective, there must be a means of confining the energy, otherwise there will be It won't be a force field, but a super big explosion... just like those lava beetles. But this technology is far more difficult than building a perfect augmentation array!"

"Humans can't create it, but it doesn't mean that this third civilization can't be created..." Ke Lan murmured, "It seems that they have mastered the technology you mentioned, and successfully made this 'resonant force field' restrain Within the scope of the giant pit."
