With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 159 Second underground floor
Chen Fan had countless conjectures flashing through his mind, but he never thought about this ending.

The detection drone crashed!

This individual detection drone from the People's Federation could not withstand the 40,000-kilometer-long magical barrier of Varela Star!
Chen Fan couldn't believe his eyes: "How is this possible?"

"It's a space weapon."

There was a bit of seriousness in Yi's voice: "Normally, only level six civilizations can initially master this type of highly lethal weapon."

"Level 6 civilization?"

Chen Fan was a little surprised, but he quickly realized the problem: "Wait a minute, a weapon from a sixth-level civilization uses a detection drone..."

"Don't worry, listen to me first."

Yi explained again: "Based on the last data sent back by the detection drone, this machine believes that it is a micro-space crack."

"The power of space rifts is very great. Due to the high malleability of space itself, its attack range is much larger than that of conventional weapons."

"If you are not careful, it will cause a devastating blow to the planet itself."

"If you want to release a space rift so accurately over the planet, you must also ensure that it does not cause harm to the planet itself..."

Chen Fan's eyes moved, and he seemed to understand what Yi meant.

After pondering for a moment, he asked in a low voice: "Is it equivalent to using a butcher knife to perform minimally invasive surgery?"

This simple and crude metaphor directly silenced Yi Qian.

"...Although the metaphor is not very appropriate, it does mean this."

"Theoretically, only civilizations above level seven are capable of doing this."

"That shouldn't be the case!" Chen Fan looked at the smart terminal on his right hand with suspicion, "Even if it is an attack from an eighth-level civilization, it won't be able to destroy the detection drone manufactured by the People's Federation with one blow, right?"

"Isn't the People's Federation a ninth-level civilization?"

"Let's be honest, did this thing cut any corners?"

one:"……?"

After a long silence, an electronic synthesized sound with a somewhat weird meaning sounded again:
"Who told you that the equipment manufactured by the People's Federation must meet the standards of a ninth-level civilization?"

This time it was Chen Fan's turn to be silent: "...?"

"Don't forget, the People's Federation is a multi-civilization collective."

"Although its leading civilization is a ninth-level civilization, you can't expect that the ninth-level civilization can do all the work, right?"

"This kind of parasitic alliance will never be able to develop in the long term."

Chen Fan raised his hand and scratched his head.

Don't tell me...it sounds reasonable at first glance?
"for example."

"The shell of the individual detection drone is made of strong interaction material. This material is equivalent to the strength of a neutron star and can resist attacks from almost all low- and medium-level civilizations."

"The manufacturing work of this dense material shell is mainly undertaken by some level six and level seven civilizations."

"As for the observation equipment inside..."

"Since the detector only works on the surface of the planet, its accuracy requirements are not very high, and it is usually left to some level three civilizations that meet the standards."

"In terms of engines, usually only level five civilizations master anti-gravity technology, so the manufacturing work is also handed over to a group of level five civilizations."

"As for assembly... there is no technical content in this aspect, and some second-level civilizations can complete it. Considering the physiological limitations of carbon-based organisms, this kind of assembly work is usually left to some low-level silicon-based civilizations."

One's voice continued: "It's not just individual detection drones. Most of the weapons and equipment currently used by you, except this machine, are almost all produced by various civilizations under the People's Federation."

"Individual plasma bombs are mainly produced by secondary civilizations."

"Individual anti-material bombs are produced in level four civilizations."

"The individual soldier protective force field is relatively high-end, and the main components are produced in level six civilizations."

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

What the hell is this pan-universe arms industry chain? !

……

After temporarily solving the confusion in his heart, Chen Fan's attention moved to the open elevator door in front of him.

With power supplied from the detection drone, the lighting system has been fully restored.

The bright lights illuminate the entire second underground floor extremely brightly.

The first thing that catches the eye are the cables with an astonishing diameter.

The cables were scattered somewhat haphazardly around the room and up into the thick concrete walls.

Next to these cables, a variety of old equipment are placed haphazardly - judging from the appearance, these equipment are probably inseparable from the main work of the deep space observatory.

Chen Fan carefully stepped out of the elevator and cast his gaze into the depths of the room.

The ends of these cables with astonishing diameters are connected to a giant circular cone device that is more than ten meters high.

The whole device seemed a bit old, but the few eye-catching characters on it still made Chen Fan stop subconsciously.

【Radiation danger! 】

"This is……"

Chen Fan had some clarity in his heart: "Fusion reactor?"

This huge fusion reactor and the surrounding cables occupy most of the space on the second underground floor. Coupled with the messy old equipment, the entire second underground floor is not spacious and even a bit crowded.

The first impression is that of a packed utility room.

A scanning beam quickly swept over the fusion reactor in front, and an electronic synthesized voice also sounded: "It is indeed a fusion reactor. It should use deuterium and tritium fusion, which is considered the first generation of nuclear fusion technology."

"No residual traces of radiation have been detected."

Hearing this, Chen Fan stepped forward again.

At the same time, white scanning beams continued to flash by his side, and the holographic projection in front of him also continuously displayed analysis records from Yi.

As Chen Fan guessed, these old devices placed around the cables are equipment related to deep space observation and rocket manufacturing.

As Chen Fan continued to go deeper, some remaining traces of life gradually appeared in front of his eyes.

Used towels, packaging bags of various fast food, empty bath products...

He even saw a simple clothes drying rack built with a few iron poles next to the fusion reactor!

"It's really a good way to dry clothes using some of the waste heat that escapes when the fusion reactor is working."

Regarding Yi's evaluation, Chen Fan just curled his lips and said nothing.

Yes, it's really good, but it's just contaminated with a little radiation, and it's not gone.

Realizing what Chen Fan was thinking, Yi explained aloud: "Although the first-generation fusion reactor contains a small amount of radiation, the impact is not significant and can basically be intercepted by the reactor shell."

Chen Fan nodded silently and walked towards the corner ahead.

As soon as he turned the corner, Chen Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

His eyes widened slightly and he murmured softly: "This is..."

A spacious and bright factory building!

Yes, it’s the factory!
A large number of fragmented mechanical parts and stamped metal casings are scattered on the floor of the factory.

The scanning beam flashed rapidly, and the outline of a small rocket was gradually pieced together in the holographic projection in front of Chen Fan.

An incredible conjecture came to Chen Fan's mind——

The text recorded in the main control computer on the underground floor was not empty words!
The director of the Haian Deep Space Observatory is really relying on his own strength to continue building rockets!
"Your Excellency Chen Fan, there is also a model of the goddess here."

While Chen Fan was looking at the parts in the factory in a daze, Isa's somewhat strange voice came from the shanty house set up inside the factory: "Not only the models, there is also the body of the stationmaster and some... Record."

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then walked quickly towards the shanty house that was randomly built with several layers of iron sheets.

……

As soon as he entered the room, Chen Fan took a breath of cold air.

He finally knew why Isa's voice sounded a little weird.

A shriveled corpse covered with dust was kneeling on the ground in a strange posture, his head slightly raised, as if he was looking up at something.

At the same time, his right index finger touched the ground, seeming to be tracing something on the ground.

Looking at this weird gesture, Chen Fan's mind immediately thought of the unlucky man who died during the broadcast in Kukan Underground City!
When he was about to die, the unlucky man whose name was unknown also assumed a similar pose!

"One, immediately scan the remaining traces on the ground."

After reacting, Chen Fan did not hesitate and directly issued an order to Yi: "Try to restore all the actions of the opponent before his death!"

As he spoke, he walked to the metal table next to Isa.

On the table is a personal computer that has stopped running long ago and a notebook full of writing.

On the iron wall on which the table rests, there are several dusty and inconspicuous paintings hanging - there are high-altitude photos of Varela and carefully drawn maps of the world.

Before Chen Fan could give the order, the particle-level scanning beam appeared again, shining directly on the personal computer.

Chen Fan also carefully reached out and picked up the notebook full of words.

……

1730 12 Month 9 Day.

Those short-sighted high-level officials must not have thought that I would move all the old equipment in the warehouse into the fusion reactor on the second underground floor!

Although I am the only one left at the Haian Deep Space Observatory, the deep space observation and rocket launch missions will still continue!
……

1731 1 Month 8 Day.

Fortunately, the network at the observatory has not been completely interrupted, otherwise I would go crazy!

Word has spread that all deep space observatories will be closed.

This big news caused an uproar around the world, and I saw a lot of interesting statements online.

Many people believe this is an alien conspiracy.

Fuck aliens.

How could an alien be so bored that he would go to a horned gada to entertain ants?

Having said that, there is a post that says it well.

Those 40,000 kilometers of demonic barriers may be related to the ruins discovered some time ago!

At present, there seems to be a generally accepted view in the academic community.

We are not the only owners of this planet. The pyramid ruins unearthed some time ago are the most favorable proof.

I heard some colleagues talk about that ruins - that thing seems to have been made by prehistoric civilization. Until now, those scientists have not found a way to enter the ruins.

Damn it, the things created by prehistoric civilization are so powerful, and yet we can only live on a small planet and consume ourselves.

So damn unfair!
