Chapter 5 The Ina in the Nest
After the inheritance ceremony, the ship Ling Yina answered Cheng Yuan's questions at all times, so he quickly answered the question and understood the whole story.
It turned out that Cheng Yuan was now on a spacecraft named Ina. This spacecraft originally belonged to a nobleman in the Yilan Alliance of Foreign High Civilizations. It was translated as Lord Astor's property and was a lifeboat.
Since Ina's database was somewhat damaged, the detailed information was not complete. I only know that Lord Astor was a profession like an explorer in the Iran Alliance, and his job was to open up new colonial planets.
Since the Yilan Alliance's civilization is extremely developed, almost all suitable areas for development have been discovered and developed in the areas that can be controlled around it. It is really difficult to find a new homeless planet that has no higher intelligence, has not been privatized, and has high value.
However, the universe is too huge, and the Yilan Alliance cannot control everything. There are always countless possibilities in countless unexplored star fields, even in many dangers.
In this way, Ast, who had just become an adult and became a noble, followed the footsteps of his predecessors and made progress towards the unknown sparse star area, hoping to open up a new world for himself, to gain new glory for himself, for his family, and for the Federation!
After driving his own Astor exploration mothership, after a long period of regular interstellar journey, he finally discovered a very valuable star system in a certain star field, and made a space-time mark in the local area and planned to return to the overall star of the alliance to apply to become the master of that star system.
What I want to say here is that during interstellar exploration, in order to carefully explore, conventional sub-light speed flights are often required. If you find something valuable and want to go back, you can directly jump space and go home in an instant.
However, on the way back, when the spaceship was preparing to jump and fly in curved space, Ast's luck was so great that it happened to encounter a space-time storm. Ast destroyed the ship in time at the moment when the mothership was about to be sucked into the space-time black hole, and instead boarded the Ina lifeboat. At the moment when the mothership exploded, he used the reaction force of the explosion to escape the pull of the space-time storm, but was teleported to a strange underdeveloped star field.
During interstellar voyage, especially in interstellar exploration with unknown channels, due to the complex environment, once you fall into some unfamiliar star fields, don’t expect to call for help. Endless distances, endless space, endless magnetism, gravity, dark energy, dark matter... Any tiny interference can make your distress signal reach unknown places, but it just cannot be transmitted back to the place you want to transmit. All you can do is to save yourself.
At that time, the Ina was also seriously damaged due to the Big Bang and could no longer do long-distance interstellar navigation. It had to find a place to park and add new abilities, but in this unfamiliar star field, he didn't know where to go.
Finally, after some exploration, Astor discovered that there was a star system near the star field where he was located, and there was a planet in that star system that had already had life activities.
Yes, Astor was teleported to the edge of the solar system, and the planet in which he discovered that there was life-acting activity in the star system was Earth.
According to the detection, the planet with life activities is not rich in resources and its civilization is very low-level, but it is finally a civilized planet and has some useful resources suitable for him to settle temporarily. So he followed the Ina into the gravitational range of the solar system, and then combined with the gravity of the sun and the power of the spacecraft to come to the earth. In order to avoid being discovered by the people on earth, the spacecraft is currently hiding in the depths of the Mariana Trench.
The simple origin of the Ina is explained clearly, and the next step is the situation of the Ina itself.
The structure of this Ina spacecraft is very different from the spacecraft that Cheng Yuan remembers. It is not a flying saucer or pencil-shaped, but a large ball, and all the cabins are distributed in this large ball.
The most central part of this ball spacecraft is the core power zone. Around the core power zone, four major areas are separated layer by layer according to their functions.
The circles of these four major areas are from the inside to the outside, namely the core area, the living area, the storage area, and the isolation area.
The place where Cheng Yuan was just teleported was in a teleportation compartment in the outermost isolation area, and the command room where he was now located was in the core area.
To be honest, the entire spacecraft is like a large round onion, layer after layer, just a simplified version of a terrestrial planet.
Among them, the large ball cabin with a diameter of about five meters that Cheng Yuan was teleported at the beginning was the teleportation cabin, which was mainly responsible for short-distance transmission through the quantum tunneling effect. Simply put, it is teleportation or space movement.
Although it is a short distance, the short distance that Ina mentioned is converted into a familiar unit of long distances on the earth, which refers to within one million kilometers. However, due to the damage to the spacecraft's power system, especially the severe lack of energy in the power system, it can only transmit within 20,000 kilometers, which can cover almost half of the earth.
In other words, as long as you hold the permission bracelet, you can instantly teleport back to the spacecraft's teleportation cabin anywhere within a radius of 20,000 kilometers, greatly increasing the life saving base. Of course, there are also accidents like Astor, but the probability is too low. It can only be said that the former captain was too lucky and too arrogant.
The Ina is a special spacecraft, and the biggest special thing is that it is because it is alive! This life is not an intelligent machine in the general sense, but a real life.
In fact, before, Cheng Yuan had always been interested in the simplicity of the spacecraft. After all, in his opinion, a spacecraft always had to be full of buttons and operating platforms, and there were all kinds of robots everywhere, but this Ina subverted his concept.
For example, this command room was empty when it came in, and it looked empty at first glance, as if it was a room with nothing. Only after the order was issued, various equipment would suddenly appear and various holographic scenes you wanted could be changed at any time.
There is also the white ball aircraft that Cheng Yuan was riding in, which can sink into the floor like a drop of water at any time, blend into a plane, turn it into a podium, and it can also emerge from the floor, walls and ceiling at any time, making it like the liquid robot I remember.
According to Ina's explanation, this is because all the materials of the spacecraft are actually micro-nano-scale nanorobot polymers smaller than cells. As long as the main core program of the spacecraft, that is, Ina's body, is not subjected to fatal trauma, everything in the entire spacecraft can be freely decomposed and combined according to the command at any time, so the behavior of dismantling the secondary compartment as material and supplementing the main parts.
For example, the entire spacecraft is actually a group of small robots that are invisible to the naked eye and are smaller than cells, formed by stacking arbors or building blocks. These small robots are like cells in the human body, and are the basic components.
However, human cells are carbon-based life composed of substances such as water, protein, and other substances. The small robots, or cells in Ina's body, are composed of more special substances with metal and non-metallic properties.
Also, it is impossible for humans to control all the cell behaviors of the body at present, but the Ina can control the behavior of each cell.
This is simply the level of transformation in the fairy tale!
That's why I said that the entire Ina spacecraft is not an artificial robot, not a carbon-based life, nor a silicon-based life, and an artificial life based on special materials that are unknown to the earth!
It is precisely because Ina is a living person that she has some characteristics of living organisms, such as intelligence flexibility, and timely replenishment after being damaged. Of course, her food is not about eating vegetables, meat, eggs and milk. They eat directly into inorganic things such as metal stones, and then transform it into a nanorobot smaller than ordinary cells in the body.
What I have to say is a bit close to Transformers.
In this regard, Cheng Yuan could only sigh that alien technology is alien technology. If you don’t accept it, it is actually a living spacecraft, which completely integrates complexity and simplicity. This is art.
The power system used on Ina is a special power crystal energy supply mode. This power crystal is very small in size and takes up not much space. It is only the size of a football, but it can directly utilize or convert the ubiquitous dark energy and antimatter in the universe, thus providing the spacecraft with stable and powerful energy.
The energy density of this power energy crystal is greater than that of nuclear fusion, but it is much more stable than nuclear fusion. It is one of the best power modes in space navigation and the only energy that Ina can use, because the basic component of Ina's body, that is, small robots at the nano-level, also have metabolic processes. In addition to eating normal substances, they also have to eat these dark energy dark matter that has been absorbed and converted. The only thing that can provide these is that special power crystal.
To put it bluntly, this dynamic crystal is not an organ such as the heart, but a special stomach that can swallow various forms of energy and convert it into the energy it needs.
But the problem is that because the space storm damaged this set of power cores, the damage rate of the power crystal reached more than 99%, and less than one percent of the crystals could still be used. This energy cannot be used for surface space jumps at all, and even conventional interstellar sub-light navigation is slow and people are devastating.
Since this energy crystal is composed of many special elements that are not available on the earth, it cannot be obtained from the natural environment of the earth. It can only be restored bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, that is, recreating the relevant elements.
Speaking of this, Cheng Yuan can understand that, after all, the current periodic table of human elements is said to have artificially synthesized element No. 119, with a mass of 299 times that of hydrogen. If it is true, then this will start the eighth element cycle, which is of subversive significance.
This means that the elements known to humans are just a drop in the ocean, and there are too many unknown elements that have not been discovered. Therefore, it is normal for alien technology to create what energy crystals are formed by unknown elements.
However, it is easy to imagine that it is difficult to synthesize a variety of unknown super elements from humans out of thin air, including dark matter and antimatter elements. Even alien technology like Ina is full of difficulties.
Therefore, less than one percent of the remaining energy of Ina currently is used to synthesize many unknown elements, and more than 90% of the core computing power is also used.
Given the danger, accuracy and irreversibility of synthesis of new elements, once the synthesis process begins, you cannot give up in the middle. Once you give up in the middle, all your efforts will be wasted and you can only start from scratch. Even if you are not careful, a super explosion will occur. Not only can you destroy the entire spacecraft, but even the explosion scale will damage the earth. It is not uncommon to explode another Gulf of Mexico. At that time, it will be the end of the world.
In other words, because of the need to repair the energy core crystals and repair its own damaged parts, the spacecraft is basically in a state of hiding. Not to mention flying again, even maintaining the basic energy supply in the body is at the lowest level. Even short-distance space transmission can only provide once a day.
It is also because of this reason that the Ina is empty. Only when needed will the maneuvering energy be temporarily called to activate related equipment and systems. Other secondary aspects, such as the various related robots in the original spacecraft, have all disappeared in order to save even a little energy.
The most important thing is that this is the time when Ina is the most vulnerable, because she now has no ability to resist. If she is intensively bombed by nuclear bombs, she will be a waste of goods.
Although it has basically lost its power in self-healing, this so-called life-saving capsule-class spacecraft with a powerful function and displacement of more than 50,000 tons is still powerful at the current level of the earth. Even the value of research is huge and unparalleled. If it is discovered, it may be snatched away by a swarm of countries and groups.
"I'll ask, when will your repair process be able to repair the energy crystal and restore power?"
"From the year of the earth, it will take at least one hundred years to accumulate slowly by my own energy."
"One hundred years..." Cheng Yuan blinked, thinking that he would still say whether he was there or not. And if someone discovered it for so long, it would be difficult to say what he would be like, as his heir, or the commander, would be the end of him. After all, he would not be able to stay in the spaceship all day, and he would have family and friends...
Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. I can only take a look, adapt to the situation and talk about it.
