Captain, your ship has exploded again.
Chapter 668 Planetary Traction Project
Zhang Xun also expressed his inability to appreciate Marcus's new vest, saying that if it weren't for the space environment, any slight gravitational influence would cause the protruding parts to fall like dominoes.
"Take some photos, and show them to Marcus later. We can't be the only ones who lost SAN."
Zhang Xun directed everyone to take photos of the large traction device. As for why Tianwen didn't provide the images, it was mainly because the pictures it provided were too objective and didn't have that kind of "shocking" perspective.
After everyone finished taking photos, they headed to the core chamber of the device.
"To be honest, this thing is obviously rushed out of production. I think it can only be used once."
Wang Ge patted the spot where the armor had been rubbed. Not to mention the illegal constructions on the outside, the inside was also full of various equipment.
"There's no way around it. You're dealing with a sphere with a diameter of 13,000 square kilometers. The total area of Europe is only 10 million square kilometers, while even this crippled version is worth trillions of square kilometers. And that doesn't even include the internal areas that need to be processed."
Zhao Wanyang appeared before everyone, looking exhausted. Her condition was far worse than before, a far cry from her previous elite researcher days. She looked like she could beg for food on the street with just a broken bowl.
"Hey sis, what's going on? Do you need any parts?"
Wang Ge took out a metal bowl made from a metal sheet, which still had many fingerprints inside.
Zhao Wan rolled her eyes at Wang Ge and led everyone to Marcus.
At this point, Marcus was back in the brain-in-a-jar state, but much better than Palpatine, as he could at least control many of the robotic arms and doodle on his glass jar.
"Damn, not Marcus, we've been running around doing all this, and you're still an art student? What, we've set up some tables and beer, and you're going to give a passionate speech?"
Wang Ge stepped forward and tapped the jar in front of him. Although his words were quite harsh, he knew that if Marcus was so bored that he drew a picture for him, he would go crazy.
At that moment, a deep, mechanical voice came from above.
"Sorry, I can only detect a distance of two meters right now. I'm not very used to using sonic radar. Come, sit down first. Tell me what you do over there? Is there anything fun?"
As the mechanical voice gradually transformed into Marcus's voice, Zhang Xun realized that since the day the meeting ended, Marcus had become a brain in a vat. The connection and coordination between the human brain and the Cybertronian processor was extremely troublesome. Once Marcus was given his own senses, even the slightest disturbance would lead to failure.
However, the fact that he can now control the equipment inside the core compartment proves that the first phase of adjustments has ended.
"Hey, what could it be? We were feeding turtles in the sea and experiencing a few days of high-temperature bathing underwater. Let me tell you! That bastard Zhang Xun actually wouldn't let the cyborgs come down. With them, at least they could have scrubbed me clean. If it weren't for the long hours of work, I would have taken off my armor. You have no idea how painful it is to be in a dry sauna."
Zhang Xun could only roll his eyes at Wang Ge's accusations; being without hands or feet, he really couldn't do anything to him.
Ignoring the people chattering around Marcus, Zhang Xun went to Zhao Wanyang's side and asked.
"How's the progress? We don't have much time left."
Natal is already showing signs of losing control, which is something that shouldn't happen normally. After all, natural stars and celestial bodies have a certain margin of error, which is why their trajectories are not circular.
The Kovok designed this star system with most of its data being very uniform for easier adjustment and control. This meant that when Blue Star experienced orbital deviations, the other planets in the inner ring provided more gravitational pull.
"The thirteen secondary brains have been connected. In addition to the central Megatron's secondary brain, six more Autobots were added as per your request. It is expected to be ready for trial operation tomorrow."
This Megatron isn't the one that merged in; it's the Megatron who was killed at the Los Angeles base. As the leader of the Decepticons, his core strength far surpasses that of other Transformers. If it weren't for the need for Optimus Prime to stabilize the other Transformers, Marcus would now have a dual-core processor.
"Let's rest for the night! I'll take over for Natal in a bit, and the day after tomorrow I'll end all this damn stuff."
Natal's situation is alright; Shen Yuexin can take over the operation. Moreover, the main task there is to ensure the Death Star operates normally. On the other hand, the technical department is severely overworked. The reason Zhao Wanyang can be seen is because she needs to debug the Cybertronian array in the core room.
As the technical department responsible for logistical support, non-combat casualties would be the norm for them if it weren't for sufficient medical technology support.
Zhao Wanyang sighed and said, "I don't want to see the weapons I made destroy Blue Star, even if it's just Blue Star in a parallel universe."
After saying that, she left silently. She needed to prepare for the trial run tomorrow; she was indeed no longer suited to continue working.
Zhang Xun concealed Plan B from most people, which was also the reason he sent his team members back first. At this time, on Blue Star, a fleet was helping the Chinese people carry out an orderly evacuation.
Zhang Xun had already secretly informed the top leaders of China that from the very beginning, under the guise of repairing Blue Star, they had a plan to reclaim all resources, including various cultural relics. However, due to the short and rushed time, Zhang Xun did not intend to care about people from other countries.
This means that if the traction plan fails, in order to prevent the solar system from being completely destroyed (the planet being swallowed by the star will cause a chain reaction), the Star Killer Cannon will destroy Blue Star, and Zhang Xun will then reconstruct a planet on the original orbit.
Of course, the new standard is not as good as the old one, but it is still better than wandering in the universe.
Zhang Xun left the group and went to the Death Star command room alone.
"coming."
"Hmm, have you figured out the coordinates of the Walker homeworld?"
Zhang Xun wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't fight back. Since the Walkers had left traces (the fleet), Zhang Xun had no reason not to respond.
Natal pulled up the reconnaissance information and said, "Based on the information from the enemy warship, we found four coordinates. Although they deleted them very cleanly, the elements on the warship's hull don't lie. However, I still marked them. The covert detector will not be able to send back information for another three days."
The reason they didn't leave immediately after the battle was that, in addition to saving Earth and dealing with the Walkers, they also had to test Cybertron's energy and build a fleet.
Of course, the fact that Yi Jiu has not responded is also a major factor. Zhang Xun helped the humans here because of his own considerations. He used high-level energy many times, which erased a large amount of his own humanity and memories. If he doesn't find a way, he may actively convert into energy at any moment.
Two days later.
Zhao Wanyang: "Analysis array starts normally, Cybertron energy injection, 10%, 15%, 20%, reaching the first stage balance value, start the large gravity device, heat engine three, two, one, start."
Yu Qilan: "The traction device is in normal condition. Gravity has begun to be generated, and the value is stable within the range. Marcus, please adjust traction device number seventeen according to the data."
Because it is a large-scale artificial gravitational source, Tianwen has been used for magnetic field beam wave calculations. Even if the intelligence of the Primordial Celestial Venerable has not been activated, physical isolation is the best way to deal with silicon-based intrusion.
Wang Ge stared idly at the screen, then said to Huang Hong beside him, "Do you really think we need to be this careful? Besides using communication adjustments, do we also have to stay here and guard this core?"
At this moment, besides Wang Ge and Huang Hong's VF fighter jets, there was also the No. 3 unit piloted by Maki, with the three of them jointly guarding the core of the Primordial Celestial.
As for Sun Hui, she was guarding the Cybertronians on the prison ship, while EVA Unit-02 was not yet repaired, so these T1-level combatants were assigned here.
It wasn't that Zhao Wanyang didn't want to remove the core of the Primordial Celestial, but rather that once the core was removed, the entire machine would lose its energy. If a new power reactor were to be built, there simply wouldn't be enough time. The technology from Cybertron had only been acquired in two months at most.
To modify a massive gravity device within this timeframe, and to digest and design a new super core, is something that even if all the people in Zhang Xun's technical department worked themselves to death at their desks, it would be impossible.
Don't be ungrateful. Understand that the Death Star took at least four years to build, and it would take China at least seven years to build an aircraft carrier. Even if Zhang Xun's technology is far ahead, and he can transform trillions of square kilometers in two months and then build a new energy source that is nearly 100 meters long, that's a myth, not science fiction.
Masumi's voice came from Unit 3: "With billions of lives on our side, we can't be too careful. If he wakes up and shakes the gravity device, the solar system will turn into a pool table."
Huang Hong tapped the core in front of him with his VF and asked, "If that really happens, which planet will Black Eight be?"
Wang Ge adjusted the VF head position and said, "Of course it's the sun. Crashing into it will lead to your grave, whether you crash into it or not."
"Tsk, you Chinese are really going too far, using so many veiled and obvious language. I hate it when you use compressed files and homophones."
Unit 3 seemed to be angered and came to the opposite side of VF to stand guard. Of course, this was not because Mashiro was petty, but to ensure that the forces exerted by both sides could be balanced in the event of an emergency.
"I hope nothing goes wrong. You have no idea what happened back when Huang Hong, Marcus, and I commanded the fleet..."
Before Wang Ge could recount their glorious history, Huang Hong stopped him with a VF fighter jet.
"Brother, dear brother, aren't you ashamed of what happened between the three of us? What, trying to jinx it? You know Zhao Wanyang has already started building the transforming armor. Guess who will be the first user?"
"Zhang Xun?"
"Bingo, you guessed it. You don't want Zhang Xun to give you a Shining performance, do you?"
Mentioning Shining, Wang Ge suddenly felt a chill in his groin. He didn't want to experience sitting on the head of a missile again, so he nodded three times and made a wispy gesture with his finger over his mouth to indicate that he was completely shut up.
"Tsk, I was just about to hear some gossip when I was cut off. Huang Hong, you're a bad person."
Just as the three were joking around, the 162 tentacles and one main gravity generator outside were reaching out towards Blue Star.
The number of tentacles was designed according to the three-sided traction of a sphere, with the front being tractioned by Death Star II. In addition to ensuring that the Earth would not shatter, so many traction points were also to make it easier to allocate the other twelve sub-brains besides Megatron. After all, Zhao Wanyang, as a researcher, also had a bit of OCD (Grace from Avatar 1 also had a bit of OCD).
Once the tentacle version of the Primordial Celestial was in place, all 164 beams of gravity acted on Blue Star, instantly causing the sea surface on Blue Star to fluctuate violently.
Looking at the blue planet that was beginning to turn white (due to the large amount of waves on the sea surface), Zhang Xun shouted firmly, "All equipment at full power, traction plan begins!"
