Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

"Afterimage of the Quantum Sea (rare): Usable value 100%."

"When used for research projects related to 'quantum technology', it can increase research progress by an additional 50 percent."

"Come to think of it, don't they look familiar to you?"

Alicia suddenly said, "It looks like they look exactly like Honkai Beasts, except for the color."

"I've noticed before that these quantum monsters and Honkai beasts are cut from the same mold."

Kevin added, "At least the quantum monsters we have seen so far can all be found in the Honkai Beasts."

"But the logic of the attack is almost different."

Alicia said, "How should I put it? Although they look the same, if we use the same strategy to deal with these quantum monsters as we did with Honkai beasts, we will suffer a great loss."

"After all, it's a monster from the Quantum Sea, so it must possess the characteristics of the Quantum Sea."

Ai Yue said simply, "As for the principle behind this, I think Dr. Mei will explain it to you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Judging by the time, the first day of the science and technology exchange meeting should be almost over, right?

In fact, not only the first day of the science and technology exchange conference is almost over, but even the exchange conference that was scheduled to last for three days is almost over.

The culprit of all this is Ai Yue himself, who intended to do things perfunctorily.

"Welcome everyone to watch our show! We are the frontline reporters of 'Yatra Daily'!"

At a technology exchange conference, a middle-aged man in a suit was talking to a camera. "I'm sure you've all seen through the lens that this should be a bustling event, but now it seems incredibly deserted. What's going on?"

As the camera lens turned, the scene of the entire venue came into view - just as the reporter said, almost all the booths seemed extremely deserted. Not only were there not many visitors, but even the scholars who were supposed to display their results at the booths and have Q&A sessions with the audience were very few in number. Some booths even had "Closed" signs hung up, and the items inside had been directly moved out.

It can be said that this is a strange scene that has never appeared in a scientific and technological exchange meeting. Even in the last hour of the last day of previous exchanges, there would still be many scholars gathered here to communicate and discuss with each other, and even argue and fight. How could such a deserted scene appear?

"I'm sure everyone is wondering where the scholars went."

The reporter kept moving forward, the camera following him closely. "Now, we'll reveal the answer to everyone—the origin of everything is because of this booth!"

Following the reporter's guidance, the camera also moved up and finally locked onto an equally deserted booth. Although this booth did not display a sign such as "Closed", it was almost as clean as the evacuated booths. There was only a table, a chair, a few documents, and a girl sitting there meticulously.

"Yes, although it is hard to believe, the reason why most scholars disappeared was precisely because of this unremarkable booth."

The reporter walked towards the booth and immediately caught the girl's attention, making her feel a little bewildered. "We can see that all the information about this booth is blank, except for the user column, where there's a name called 'Ai Yue'."

"But it was this seemingly unremarkable booth that attracted countless scholars to watch. After watching, these scholars chose to leave early and even removed their exhibits!"

"No one has yet given a definitive answer as to who this 'Ai Yue' is, but after searching various sources, we've managed to gather some insignificant clues!"

The reporter said in a somewhat exaggerated tone, "It is said that this scholar named 'Ai Yue' is a super newcomer who has recently made great achievements in countless fields. His most famous achievement is participating in the development of the 'Honkai Energy Adsorption Device', which has successfully alleviated the suffering of countless Honkai patients around the world!"

"Now, let's interview the girl in charge of the booth and see if we can get any useful information from her!"

As he spoke, he finally handed the microphone to the girl: "Hello, are you Dr. Ai Yue?"

"I'm sorry, I can't answer you."

The girl was hesitant at first, but soon calmed down. "According to the rules, you can only ask me questions after completing these three tests."

She pointed to the table in front of her, and the reporter then turned his attention to the documents on the table.

"Well, it seems this is the test that countless scholars will compete for."

The reporter flipped open the folder, and the camera shifted to the contents. "Let me see, 'Please complete the final equation according to the following formula'... This, this looks like a math problem, but why is it all in English?"

Chapter 46: Heavy, too heavy.

Ai Yue was of course very clear that if Hua was just left alone at the science and technology exchange meeting, it would undoubtedly be an irresponsible act. Moreover, as a soldier, Hua did not possess the knowledge that scholars had. If she was asked to face other scholars or other people's problems, she would soon be exposed.

So in order to prevent others from having the opportunity to talk to Hua and discover this problem, Ai Yue prepared three difficult questions to intercept everyone.

If someone can solve all three questions, then he will have the opportunity to ask Ai Yue questions, but if he can't solve them, then he will naturally have to go back and practice more.

Of course, Ai Yue would not deliberately set a very high threshold just to disgust other scholars, or simply throw out questions that he himself does not understand to embarrass others. Rather than saying that he is blocking other scholars with questions, it is better to say that these questions themselves are the knowledge he wants to share with others.

The first problem is the energy release formula of high-density plasma under magnetic field confinement. This is one of the most important topics in conventional physics at present. As long as it can be cracked, a theoretical model for stable nuclear fusion and efficient energy release can be established, thereby solving the most critical problem of nuclear fusion reactors, "energy output is greater than input."

Ai Yue has listed the optimized formula as a fill-in-the-blank question. As long as the answerer can fill in the correct numbers of each indicator into the corresponding blanks, he can get the complete formula.

The second issue is a brand-new artificial intelligence underlying logic editing system. This system can enable artificial intelligence to break away from the traditional operating mode and make its "thinking" more flexible. For today's artificial intelligence field, it is definitely a subversive design.

However, this set is just an optimization based on Velvet's original theory, and it is still far from the original version of Prometheus.

The third question is to demonstrate the role of non-coding DNA and RNA in gene expression. This topic was originally used to regulate the performance of fusion warrior genes in terms of ability. However, even if it is listed separately, it is enough to play a huge role in promoting human current biology.

In this way, the three questions involve three completely different fields, which not only ensures that no one can answer all of them, but also ensures that the scholars participating in the exchange meeting will not return empty-handed. Ai Yue is still very satisfied with his operation.

The only problem was that the effect was too good - so much so that more than 85% of the scholars at the entire scientific and technological exchange conference received useful information and inspiration from the questions raised by Ai Yue. As a result, these people simply abandoned the exchange conference and ran back to their own laboratories to conduct experiments, which led to the deserted result of the entire exchange conference.

When Ai Yue arrived at the venue, even the reporters had left - after all, he found that he either couldn't understand English or couldn't understand the questions, and he felt a little broken inside.

"Hey, is the first day over?"

Ai Yue found his booth and discovered that Hua was still sitting there obediently. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. "It feels like it's a little earlier than the time mentioned before."

"You are finally here, Dr. Ai Yue."

Seeing Ai Yue appear, Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Can we go now?"

"Well, this journey to Mu Continent is already halfway done,"

Ai Yue nodded, "It seems like I don't need to come for the next two days."

"Then what are we going to do?"

Hua immediately got into work mode.

"I still have things to take care of, but you can take the day off."

Ai Yue took the folders and said as he wrote, "Oh yes, Eden is also in Atla, don't you want to go see her?"

Hua was obviously tempted. As someone who had saved Eden before, she obviously had a good relationship with him. But in the end, she shook her head: "No need. Business is more important."

"Don't worry, I'll call if anything happens."

Ai Yue closed the folder and placed it on the table. "Anyway, let's go eat first."

If someone looked through the documents on the table after the two left, they would be surprised to find that Ai Yue had completed all the contents and even added a lot of extra content. Any one of these contents would be enough to make an unknown person become a top scholar in the relevant field, but there were three results of the same weight that were thrown here so casually.

It's as if what's written in it is not an amazing achievement that can revolutionize the industry, but an elementary school word problem that someone did casually.

Ai Yue didn't care what kind of waves such content would cause. Fire Moth would definitely help him clean up the mess anyway. The most important thing now was the "Star Gate" project.

The device that can teleport between the Earth and the Moon sounds similar to the portal developed by Ai Yue using the power of the Second Herrscher, but in fact they are completely different. The most important thing is that in the original plot, this project was actually successful, but was eventually destroyed by the power of the Herrscher of Rock. However, Ai Yue had previously used his authority to check all the projects under development by the Fire Moth in Atla City, but did not find anything related to the stargate.

Finally, Prometheus found a clue in the archives that had been sealed by the Fire Moth. It was a project marked as "Stargate", and the hosts of this project were... Mebius and Hen.

The most noteworthy thing is the termination time of this project. According to calculations, it was about thirteen months ago - I don’t know if it is a coincidence, this time point is probably when Ai Yue just traveled to this world.

In the end, Ai Yue chose to go directly to Mebius to ask for clarification.

"You mean Stargate?"

Mebius made a puzzled sound, then fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Oh, well, I'd have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. There was such a project, but it's been abandoned. What, are you interested?"

“Why was it abandoned?”

Ai Yue continued to ask, "I checked the information, but didn't find any problems?"

"There are many problems. First of all, this thing is not actually the technology we have currently developed. I guess you can see that."

Mebius said, "It's based on... how should I put it, archaeological excavations? It's something that was unearthed. Simply put, it's a technology whose origins are unknown and difficult to analyze."

Ai Yue nodded, and was not surprised by what Mebius said.

After all, when he was playing the game, he felt a little uncomfortable with the strange design style of the star gate - it was obviously not the technological style of the previous civilization.

Furthermore, if the Stargate was truly a technology developed and mastered by a pre-existing civilization, why would they have built the only Stargate between the Moon and Earth? At the very least, they should have had a prototype, as otherwise, the cost of building a Stargate on the Moon would be prohibitive.

Unless this thing was originally discovered on the moon.

What's more, Mebius is a scholar in the field of genetics, and has nothing to do with the wormhole theory used by the stargate. Not to mention Hen, his job is not a scholar at all, otherwise he shouldn't be on the front line now. No one would believe that these two people could create a stargate together.

"So, why was it terminated?"

Ai Yue continued to ask, "Because your startup failed?"

"No, we succeeded, but of course, we can also be said to have failed."

Mebius' tone was filled with confusion. "A Star Gate, we call it a Star Gate. This thing not only consumes a lot of energy, but it's also unstable and has the risk of failure. If it just fails to transmit, it's fine. But if the base is unstable and explodes, the energy contained in the Star Gate is enough to send half of Mu Continent into space."

"We conducted several stability tests, but the last one failed. The higher-ups decided the project was too risky and had to terminate it."

Mebius sighed and said, "What a pity! I never took the opportunity to go to the moon and take a look."

"So, the equipment is intact, it's just blocked, right?"

Ai Yue nodded, expressing his understanding. "So there's still a possibility that this thing can be restarted?"

His tone didn't change, but he couldn't help muttering in his heart - I failed the last time. Could it be that my travel through time caused fluctuations in some physical parameters of the world, thus affecting the experimental results?

If this is true, then it would be a serious sin.

"You want to restart the Stargate?"

Mebius was stunned for a moment, then his tone became urgent, "No, wait a minute, the risk of a star gate is too great. Besides, isn't the portal you invented also very useful? It's not necessary to research this, right?"

She paused for a moment, then said, "At worst, I can give you the sample of the quantum monster. Can you just stay on Earth?"

Obviously, for Mobius now, Ai Yue's safety is more important than the research value of the quantum monster. As long as the other party is willing to behave honestly, the temporary victory or defeat will not matter.

"Keep that thing for yourself."

Ai Yue couldn't help but laugh. "Don't worry, I'm just asking. I won't do anything stupid. After all, it's too dangerous to go to the moon right now."

Ai Yue himself wasn't sure what his current situation was with the Cocoon of the End. If the other party hadn't noticed him, perhaps a trip to the moon wouldn't be a problem. But if the Cocoon of the End had already noticed this unstable factor...

Then when I go up, the opponent won't directly activate the afterimage of the Herrscher of the End to attack him, right?

When he thought about the broken image moving and punching him, Ai Yue's restless heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

However, no matter what we say, the star gate still needs to be studied.

Ai Yue followed the navigation given by Prometheus and headed towards the original laboratory location of the Stargate project.

The wormholes involved in the space bridge theory are essentially similar to black holes. After all, the wormhole theory was originally an extension of the black hole theory, and the essence of the wormhole theory is the space-time distortion phenomenon caused by extreme gravitational fields.

The Herrscher who is likely to appear next is none other than the "Herscher of Rock" who controls gravity, or the power of gravitation.

Although Ai Yue has made preparations for the Herrscher of Rock, if he can master the technology related to gravity in advance, he will be able to take a certain initiative, at least he will not have to take a beating first and then fight back.

Therefore, no matter what the current situation of the Stargate Project is, as long as Ai Yue can obtain materials or projects related to the gravity field from it, then this trip will be a great success.

Although a year has passed since the termination of the Stargate project, this huge project has not been completely destroyed and remains intact in its original location.

All I can say is that antiques are indeed valuable. If this were a normal scientific research project, it would have made room for newcomers long ago.

Ai Yue came to this laboratory located in the wilderness and opened the door with the help of Prometheus' power. What came into view was a huge spherical stone structure. Its structure consisted of two parts, the outer part was two ring devices, one large and one small, and the center was a huge prototype platform, which looked rough and mysterious.

Although the star gate gives people the feeling that it is carved out of stone, it is actually not that simple. From the peeling of some of the outer shell, it can be seen that the entire structure of the star gate is made of a kind of crystal that is highly eroded by Honkai energy. This material, which is like a combination of silicon-based minerals and Honkai energy crystals, itself contains quite exaggerated energy. This may be the key to forming a gravitational field.

According to Ai Yue's speculation, when the star gate is operating normally, the two ring-shaped devices on the outside will begin to rotate, forming a gravitational field, causing space-time distortion, connecting to the other side of the moon, and then "teleporting" people or things on the platform to the structure on the other side.

Of course, this is just some speculation. If you really want to verify it, you need to make further judgments.

Ai Yue walked forward and placed his hand directly on the star gate.

The cool touch came along with the information from the system, and Ai Yue couldn't help but smile.

"Special technological items detected and included."

"Houkai Quartz Fusion Crystal (Rare): Usable Value 100%."

"Using this material, we can increase the advancement speed of research projects related to 'Honkai' by an additional 50%."

Looking at the new light spots lighting up in the corners, Ai Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Let’s start with this project and see if we can achieve any results.

Then again, didn't the ancient civilization rely on the Stargate to establish outposts and research bases on the moon? Wouldn't that be all gone if I got involved like this?

If that's the case, why not build one ourselves? Even if we can't go up there, digging up some moon soil would be great.
