Chapter 1,262 Another Memory
Mars colony.
Near the 071 mineral point.
Near the long-abandoned mine, there were a few tire tracks left for a long time.
Two infantry vehicles and a heavy-duty engineering vehicle stopped beside the sand dune about a hundred meters away from the mine. The overturned Mars rover was leaning not far away, and traces of bites from devil bugs could still be seen on the chassis armor.
After looking out the window, Zhang Hai reached out and pressed his hand on his helmet, getting in touch with the coordinator on the Expedition.
"...have arrived at the target area, requesting air strike support."
"This is the Expedition. The air strike request has been approved. Please place the air strike beacon within thirty seconds."
"receive."
Soon, the top cover of an infantry fighting vehicle opened, and a soldier leaned out half of his body, took out a flare gun from his waist, and pulled the trigger at the sand dunes on the other side.
The red beacon dug into the dunes and transmitted the coordinates to the missile that was falling from geostationary orbit.
Soon, a black spot gradually appeared in the sky, dragging a long tail flame.
Before the black spot became clear, the soldier got back into the infantry vehicle and closed the top cover hard.
"boom--!"
The tremor of hitting the ground spread along the bottom of the car.
The roaring gravel was blown dozens of meters away, covering the entire convoy with a thick layer of sand.
Soon, another muffled sound came from an unknown depth underground.
The explosion of flames engulfed all the tunnels, completely suppressing the area.
The convoy continued to move forward, probably advancing more than ten meters.
The engineering vehicle stopped first, and the staff inside operated the robotic arm, took out a four-meter-long pyramid from behind, and threw it on the sand. Two infantry vehicles, one behind the other, protected it in the middle, and the electromagnetic gun on the top carefully guarded against possible threats.
Their mission today is simple.
There are four pyramids in total, smash them all into the ground, and then you can return.
"Are you sure this thing is really useful?" Sitting on the infantry fighting vehicle, Zhang Hai looked through the sight glass at the engineering vehicle using the mechanical arm outside to push the pyramid into the ground bit by bit, enduring He kept asking questions.
"Theoretically it works."
Sitting opposite the Marine captain, Wang Qiang looked at the tablet in his hand, browsing the instructions and data on the screen, and responded casually, "They are like bats at night, and what we have to do is to get a few high-altitude robots." With a decibel sound, bury it in the ground and emit 'noise' to the stratum ten kilometers below 24 hours a day. If I were those insects, I would definitely not want to stay here."
The latest task assigned to these frontline researchers by the Star Ring City Research Institute is to find out this frequency through repeated trials.
This pyramid was originally used to map the geological information of the mantle. After some magical modifications by several researchers, it has now been completely transformed into such a seismic wave transmitter, used to create "noise" of different frequencies.
The nuclear fusion battery built into the "pyramid" will allow it to work until next year. After a while, if you throw a life signal detector into the 071 mine, you will know what frequency of noise the devil bugs nearby react the most to. As for turning around and running after hearing that...
In addition, in order to prevent the bugs from biting it, the engineering vehicle will have to dig a few steel rods near this root.
"Is it that simple?" the Marine soldier sitting next to Zhang Hai asked with some uncertainty.
He is a new guy named Koenig, an immigrant from Italy, with the rank of corporal. He serves as the assault trooper in the team, replacing the injured Sergeant Miller.
When they were on the Expedition, they simulated fighting against devil bugs through the training program in the phantom helmet. In simulation training, they are taught that any contact with the ground is fatal.
"It's that simple." Wang Qiang responded calmly, tapping his fingers on the tablet, and then looked at Zhang Hai, "Can you please come closer over there? There may be another solar wind outside, I have a signal here Very bad.”
"no problem."
Putting his hand on his helmet, Zhang Hai gave instructions to the soldier in charge of driving, and soon the infantry vehicle drove next to the engineering vehicle.
The four-meter-long pyramid has completely submerged into the desert, leaving only a platform less than a foot high on the surface. In order to prevent this thing from being buried under the sand, the engineering vehicle also planted a New Zealand flag on top of the platform as a mark.
"Is it done?"
Looking at the engineering vehicle with its robotic arm retracted outside, Zhang Hai looked at Wang Qiang and asked.
"One is not enough, about four are needed." Wang Qiang set the parameters on the tablet, and then pressed the start button. "Surround the 071 mineral point into a square, and then emit shock waves at the same time. We will collect the data here."
"Is this thing really useful? Are you sure? I don't feel any change at all." Koenig doubted.
"Because it emits ultrasonic waves, and you stand behind the shock wave excitation surface, the effect on you is at most a slightly faster heart rate for half a beat." Wang Qiang grinned and put away the tablet, "If If you stand right under it, you will feel that life is worse than death."
…
The first floor below the Future Man Building.
After getting off the elevator, Jiang Chen followed Dr. Amos and walked side by side in the corridor to the laboratory.
"After you fell into coma that day, I lost the connection with the drone. At first I thought the drone was broken, but then I thought about it carefully, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. If the memory of Gaia civilization is Using our drone as a springboard to communicate mentally with you, who is directly neurally bridged to the drone, there is no reason to destroy the drone entirely."
"So?" Jiang Chen asked.
"So, I wonder if the Gaia civilization used some special means to make a small modification to the communication frequency of our drone's communication chip. After all, we are still only doing research on Crane particles. Baby steps, but they are already quite mature. If you want USB to plug into a computer before 1994, you have to make a conversion interface or simply upgrade the hardware."
Taking out the ID card from his pocket, Dr. Amos swiped it on the door and made a gesture of invitation, "Sure enough, it took me more than a month to find this frequency... To be honest, I almost gave up. .”
Walking to the computer, Amos reached out and clicked a few times on the touch pad, opened the holographic screen, and displayed a ppt in front of Jiang Chen.
"What is this?" Jiang Chen asked with a slight frown.
"Another memory, but the one I found is somewhat different from the one you encountered," Amos shrugged. "It is very short. If what you see is a world history, then it is just a diary. Or a memoir or something like that. After reading it, I made it into a slideshow based on my impressions.”
"A diary?" Jiang Chen looked at the image on the holographic screen and asked, "Whose diary?"
"The last Gaia," Amos paused, then continued, "the one who died in that ruins."
