Civilization of the Stars: I loaded the mod

Chapter 68 Antimatter Energy?
"What a big ball!"

When Xing Lai saw this group of computers that could be called 'works of art', his eyes dimly lit up.

After large-caliber firearms and sparkling crystal gems, the idea of ​​collecting the mysterious spherical computer in front of me came up.

As soon as there was movement on her feet and she wanted to run over, she was caught by Aisha.

"Don't go, this floor has changed a bit."

Aisha stared at the surrounding space with some seriousness, and pointed to the central high platform towards Bana.

The other party immediately understood what she meant, and took out a small drone from behind.

"That thing is floating by some means, and it seems to have energy."

Pace also stopped other teammates to explain.

If it was a pure ancient civilization instrument, it would have run out of energy for tens of thousands of years, so they wouldn't have to worry about defensive measures no matter how much they waste.

But the anti-gravity suspended sphere is different.

It can still fly now, but the technology and procedures are unknown, whether there are countermeasures against intruders, and whether the internal energy has been consumed for tens of thousands of years, whether it has lost its previous safe and balanced structure, all are unknown.

The same goes for the nearby computer systems. Although the other spheres are not suspended off the ground, they have the same style. Even if they are imitations, there may be some unknown black technologies.

There was a buzzing sound, and Bana's drone wobbled forward.

The distance of [-] meters was quickly crossed, and the drone boldly took a closer look.

Everyone in the team took a few steps back nervously.

Suddenly, a blue light glowed under the suspended sphere, as if to show the existence of maintaining its floating position.

The same blue screen was projected in front of the sphere, but before the text appeared, it gradually dimmed until it went out.

Before it was turned off, Bana controlled the drone to circle the sphere, and the dim screen did not cause any waves of covered light, as if the projection source did not come from the sphere.

"Scan it!"

Pace swallowed hard, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and ordered with a heavier tone. "Let's retreat into the ramp first."

Regardless of the outcome, safety comes first, although this distance may not help.

"Isn't it too cautious...it's just a scan."

Xing looked at the floating sphere, and retreated reluctantly.

Aisha ignored her, seeing her teammates retreating, and looking at each other with Pace, the eyes conveyed information.

"Antimatter energy?" Elsa raised her eyebrows slightly, and Aisha expressed doubts.

"Zero-point energy." Pace frowned to express her expectation. Compared with antimatter, she hoped for zero-point energy.

"Will it be too high?"

"No, it's right in between the two."

"Is there artificial intelligence?"

"High probability!"

"Materials technology is also strong."

The two leaders spoke to each other, conveyed the guess of the spherical computer, and nodded in agreement with each other.

As the crystallization of a civilized industry, the production process of the computer is complicated, and the judgment of the appearance and history is enough to get a glimpse of the leopard.

Xing Lai next to him turned his head to look at their rich facial expressions curiously and asked:
"What energy are you talking about?"

"Nothing, you don't need to know."

Aisha waved her hands without answering.

The technological names they exchanged just now belong to the blueprint of the technological tree in the confidential files, and only leaders at the leader level have the right to view them.

The system of the technology tree expounds his conjecture on the level and progressive technology among the civilizations of the universe, and the source is "the almighty Lord Gudu".

Energy tech is one of the most critical parts of the tech tree.

T1-level fission energy, T2-level fusion energy, T3-level cold fusion energy, T4-level antimatter energy, and T5-level zero-point energy.

It can support the machine to still run after more than 4 years, and it is guessed that the level of energy must reach at least T[-] level antimatter energy.

They are not familiar with zero point energy for the time being, but antimatter...

As early as in the pre-space civilization period, the Gudu people had the ability to produce the simplest antimatter under laboratory conditions.

That is: antihydrogen atom composed of antiproton and positron.

The field of particle physics at IAP also occasionally conducts experiments that exploit the properties of antimatter (particles).

This does not mean that the Gudu civilization lit up the antimatter technology tree.

Just like the Gudu people in the barbaric period learned to start fires from the fire caused by lightning splitting trees, it does not mean that they can create their own 'electric weapons'.

The same is true for antimatter. The types of antiparticles produced have remained unchanged for many years, and the output is pitifully small. The methods used are mainly "brute force" particle collisions and annihilation explosions.

The way to make antimatter into a full-fledged energy reactor... they don't know anything about it.

For example, the machine in front of me, if it is really antimatter in its body, and it has been idle for a million years, it has some energy failures... It is no exaggeration to say that the city on the surface will be destroyed if the underground explodes .

Hiding far away is purely for psychological comfort.

But considering the appearance of the 'Holy Sword' neutron armor, they are still confident in the quality of this pioneer product with a very different style - the computer ball.

The premise is that the artificial intelligence that may exist is not malicious to them.

Soon, as the drone emitted invisible radio frequency waves, the sphere seemed not to be aware of it, and remained motionless without any defenses, allowing it to penetrate.

On the screen held up by Bana.

The internal structure of the sphere is gradually revealed from blurred to clear, but the core area is like a black area, and no image is transmitted.

"It didn't move."

"Didn't find our scan? Or don't care."

Aisha was a little unbelievable, and for a moment wondered if she was thinking too much.

Please!

There is a high probability that you are a computer of an unknown pioneer civilization.

There is no reason why it can't stop the detection of a new civilization that has just entered the interstellar world. These days, Gu Du alone knows to install emergency energy backup in his personal terminal.

Stand up!
"There are many areas in the spherical computer that cannot be scanned."

Pace put his mask on and thought for a moment. "Bana, you control the drone to scan other sphere computers."

"no problem."

Bana heard the words and controlled the drone to slowly leave the high platform.

There was a faint buzzing sound in the air, and he chose a direction at random, and hovered in front of other smaller spheres without levitation effects.

A new composition appears on the screen again.

The messy wiring seemed to be forcibly stuffed inside, the core area was completely unable to withstand the scanning frequency waves, and the frozen sphere was completely exposed.

They are obviously imitations of ancient civilizations, and the level of technology is very rough.

Seeing this scene, Pace's heart was at peace, and then sorrow emerged, his face was tangled.

For hundreds of thousands of years, there is no recoverable information in the computer. I thought that there would be a large number of data records in the core area at the bottom, but the result is that almost all computers are scrapped.

There are no more murals, and no frozen books. The entire silver-white hall is round and smooth, and you can't see any obtrusive items at a glance.

If the big sphere in the middle is a sacred object of ancient civilization...then the sanctity of this holy place is really good.

Except that there are a lot of corpses...

Withdrawing the complaints in his heart, he turned his head and asked Fang Yan.

"How is the information recorded when you come?"

"Thanks to Xinglai's intuition, it is enough for us to analyze the ancient civilization, but there is very little content about the holy sword."

Fang Yan called up the sorted records and browsed them roughly.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and Pace cast his eyes on Aisha, with a questioning look in his eyes, and the meaning was obvious.

"In this case, withdraw or take by force."

Elsa returned a look.

Hold on.

She turned her head to face the player star.

"Xing Lai, what do you think of that spherical computer?"

"Pretty, advanced."

"If I say it might have artificial intelligence, do you think it's dangerous?"

"It's pretty, wouldn't it be..."

"..."

Xing Lai replied quite simply, a good looks means justice.

Aisha had a helpless expression. She installed a robotic arm on herself, moved the mechanical fingers, and looked at Pace again.

The meaning is obvious.

Come here, just do it!
