Chapter 469 AI's New Energy Technology
"I'd better forget it."
As Chen Lin spoke, he casually took off his arm armor, and in front of the person in charge of the shelter, the thing actually switched into something like liquid, and then the liquid condensed into a piece, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a mechanical sphere.
"This……"
Before the middle-aged man in the shelter could ask what this thing was, he saw the mechanical sphere floating in front of him!
He stared at this miraculous technological product with wide eyes, and was stunned for several seconds before finally speaking to Chen Lin: "Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, what is this?!"
Chen Lin smiled and waved his hand, and the smart assistant immediately floated to his right shoulder.
"It's just an intelligent assistant. It can be considered a technological pet."
The person in charge of the shelter stared at the gadget several times, but still couldn't understand how it could float. However, he still praised it, "It's really different... The things around Mr. Chen should be the latest technological products of the association, right? Things like this are not bad..."
Chen Lin corrected him with a smile: "This thing is a product of the pioneer civilization, not made by the association."
"That's even more amazing!"
The head of the shelter opened his mouth wide, with an expression of "I see". "The technology of the pioneer civilization is said to be very abnormal. If our people can fully master this technology, we will definitely be the boss on Earth. By then, the White Eagle Association will only be our younger brother!"
Chen Lin nodded and said yes, smiling non-stop. After his smile faded a little, he spoke: "The Pioneer Civilization has now handed over the technology to the Association. According to the capabilities of our ACS platform, it is very simple to manufacture these gadgets. If you want something similar at that time, you can go to the Association to buy it."
"And what you just said about mastering the technology, at our current learning speed, it will take at least several decades to master it all. It's a very long process, and many things will happen in the middle, and no one can predict it clearly."
The person in charge of the shelter had no doubt about what Chen Lin said. Chen Lin had a special identity. He had held many positions in his resume. He was the direct person in charge of the super lucrative job in the transmission department, and now he was the person in charge of Anyun Base which managed the entire continent. Any one of these identities was enough to crush the people in the shelter.
"Speaking of this..."
Chen Lin suddenly remembered something when he said this. He stood up and said to the person in charge of the shelter, "Let's stop here for today's introduction. You guys continue to work. Pet breeding has a bright future. When the time comes, we can sell the products on a large scale and earn a lot of money for the association. There is a lot of potential!"
"After I go back, I will ask the base to allocate some funds for you, and then we can expand the scale."
The person in charge thanked him quickly, and Chen Lin waved his hand and walked outside. The guards followed him along the winding path. They didn't know what Chen Lin had discovered that made him return so quickly.
I thought we were going to return to Anyun Base, but Chen Lin directly said that the Suzaku aircraft would go to Stuttgart. This time the destination given was very clear, and he directly stated that he was going to the territory where the 905 camp was stationed - that was where the invisible building was discovered.
The discovery of the invisible building shocked the entire Red Dragon Association. After Chen Lin arrived, he was unfortunately sucked into the building along with the people around him for more than ten days. At that time, Chen Lin's ability had not been upgraded yet, and the portal was still one-way open. His disappearance directly caused the entire Red Dragon Association to panic, and a large number of people were mobilized. All the senior staff in Stuttgart heard the news. While maintaining overall stability, they obeyed the association's orders to transfer personnel, and even made plans for the remaining personnel to stay in this strange world for a long time.
After all, the portal was one-way at the time. If Chen Lin did not come out of the invisible building, the portal would only be able to return and not enter again, which would make all the efforts spent by the association before go to waste!
"When was the last time Ding Yi and I met?"
Chen Lin suddenly asked this question while sitting on the Suzaku. The assistant on the side was stumped by this question. Although he knew a lot of routine work arrangements and itinerary plans, these things were originally done by Chen Lin, Xiao Wu and others, so he really didn't know much about them.
"Professor Ding Yi is currently at Blue Ocean Star. The last time you met him was three months ago. At that time, he had just been transferred from Base No. 6 in Stuttgart to Blue Ocean Star on standby."
"Base No. 6..."
Chen Lin pondered for a moment. The invisible base was indeed named Base No. 6. If the guard had not reminded him, Chen Lin would probably not have remembered this until the Suzaku aircraft arrived at the scene.
Chen Lin vaguely remembered that someone had mentioned the name of the invisible building's Base No. 6 to him once. However, there were too many things to do and he seldom went there, so Base No. 6 was left out.
The Suzaku aircraft was extremely fast, and it had reported here before coming. A battalion force numbered 902 was still stationed at the ground base No. . They usually monitored the invisible buildings here, and could be mobilized to reinforce various parts of Stuttgart at any time if other things happened.
When Chen Lin got off the plane, someone came to greet him. The person in charge of the camp troops was still Sun Wei, whom Chen Lin had met before. This old friend was sucked into the invisible building together with him. The group stayed in the building for half an hour, and more than ten days had passed when they came out. The different flow of time almost caused a big chaos outside.
Captain Sun was very excited when he saw Chen Lin, but his military rank was there. Chen Lin had gone through a series of things and had become much more stable than before. Under these circumstances, Sun Wei still saluted Chen Lin seriously, and Chen Lin responded with a smile.
"Captain Sun, long time no see. The last time we met was probably last year, right? Time flies."
Sun Wei could not hide his excitement. He said to Chen Lin, "I didn't expect the colonel still remembered a soldier like me. The last time we met was more than a year ago. At that time, we entered the invisible building together and met the AI inside..."
After he talked about what happened at the beginning, the atmosphere suddenly eased a lot. Chen Lin smiled and chatted with Sun Wei about what happened in the period after the incident. Sun Wei himself was a standard soldier, and everyone had experienced real things together, so the records obtained from the inquiries were exactly the same. After more than half a month of tossing, the heat gradually died down.
Chen Lin has already come out, and there are no surprises in the inquiries provided by Sun Wei and others, so the matter has naturally been resolved.
"Are you coming here today to plan on entering that invisible building again?"
Sun Wei glanced around and asked Chen Lin in a low voice. Chen Lin still had a smiling expression and shook his head slightly, saying, "I came here today mainly to see what the situation is, and I don't plan to go in."
"Didn't the data USB drive provided by the invisible building require nuclear fusion technology to activate? We are now proficient in this technology. Is there no change on the part of the invisible building?"
Captain Sun said bitterly, "Really not... When Professor Ding was here, he frequently conducted various experiments. He even turned off the external cloaking of the invisible building. But it's useless. The building's materials are very special. It's basically impossible for us to break into the building without using super weapons. The research bottleneck is currently concentrated here."
Chen Lin nodded. He probably wouldn't be able to help much today, but the AI in the invisible building had told him very clearly that with the breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, they could acquire more super technologies. Nuclear technology was the key to unlocking the technology tree. Now that there had been relevant technological breakthroughs, it stood to reason that the invisible building should also have made some new discoveries.
The two walked along the road for a while, and Chen Lin soon saw the familiar gray-black building - the building was no longer invisible at this time. Similarly, because it could not be broken into, the various scientific research equipment that had densely circled around it had basically been withdrawn. Currently, only a few devices were still continuously collecting data here, but they were all daily mandatory requirements, and basically no one was very attentive.
Currently, the association's research focus is concentrated on the technology of the pioneer civilization, and the research on invisible buildings has been lightened. The consequence of the shift in focus is that invisible buildings have completely become abandoned, and there are not many people stationed there.
Chen Lin got the USB flash drive that Sun Wei brought with him. The information and blueprints in that thing have been thoroughly understood by the current association. It contains the blueprints of electromagnetic weapons and crystal engines, which gave the original association enough capital to develop the Origin Star and several other satellite planets. The association still has a more favorable impression of the AI in this building.
"This thing is no longer useful. Unfortunately, we can't establish a connection with the AI in the building through this USB drive. This thing is not a key, so we can't use it to get in..."
Sun Wei looked helpless. He didn't think there was anything wrong when he saw Chen Lin holding the USB flash drive, but Chen Lin signaled his assistant to get out the laptop, and he took the USB flash drive and directly plugged it into the laptop.
"I remember you said that this USB drive can communicate directly with the AI?"
After he finished speaking, Chen Lin suddenly felt something was wrong. The interface of his laptop became obviously stuck after the USB flash drive was plugged in.
Before he could speak again, a door suddenly appeared on the computer screen.
The door suddenly opened, and the ancient AI he had seen before walked out of it. In front of everyone present, this thing actually "walked" out directly from the computer!
Everyone saw an AI image made of light and energy slowly emerging in front of them. The appearance of this AI was smooth and streamlined, as if it was carved by future technology. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom, and she seemed to be able to see through everything!
The AI scanned the crowd at the scene, and seemed to notice the soldiers rushing over from a distance. It then turned to Chen Lin and said directly, "Long time no see, Guide."
Chen Lin was not surprised by this title. The last time he entered the building, AI called him a guide, so he already had expectations.
AI's voice echoed in the air, clear and powerful.
Chen Lin raised his hand to signal Sun Wei to order the soldiers rushing over from afar to return to their original positions. He then asked the AI in front of him: "Can you tell me more about your civilization now?"
"Insufficient permissions, unable to obtain."
"Didn't you say that it would be OK once we mastered nuclear fusion technology?"
"That's just one of the channels to enter the technology tree..."
When the pioneer Ai An learned about the matter of Base No. 6, his attitude was very subtle. His response to Chen Lin at that time was that the two civilizations did know each other, but because of their different concepts, Ai An was unwilling to interfere in the matter of invisible buildings. He was also unwilling to reveal more information about Base No. 6 to the association.
"You have obtained the key to open the technology tree. I am the guardian of civilization, and I have been given the ability to grant new technologies. I have observed your world and seen your difficulties and challenges... Now, I will grant you a new technology that will change your lives and bring unprecedented progress."
The invisible building's AI slowly raised her hand, and a ball of light appeared in the center of her palm.
The ball of light slightly separated from his hand and floated in mid-air. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding environment.
But beneath this calm appearance, Chen Lin still subconsciously took a step back.
Several guards stepped forward and stood in front without leaving a trace. If the situation went wrong, they would immediately take action to either attack the AI or protect Chen Lin. Chen Lin himself was not too worried about anything happening. He had a lot of protective devices on him, and many of the things he had obtained had been upgraded several times, but Chen Lin had never used them once.
The intelligent assistant also realized that something might be wrong, and was now hovering and spinning on his shoulder, clearly in a protective posture.
The AI's voice sounded again.
"Contained within the Sphere of Light is a new energy technology - one that will allow you to harness an endless supply of energy."
Chen Lin stared at the ball of light without saying a word, while the people around him looked at each other in confusion.
At present, the Red Dragon Association has mastered the technology of nuclear fusion. It is said that the laboratory has managed to reduce the fusion device to a size of more than ten centimeters... This is already an unlimited energy source for the Red Dragon Association.
The invisible building then suddenly said that they had a technology that could provide endless energy, but everyone was not actually very excited.
However, the atmosphere was already like this, and everyone showed an expression of wanting to take a look.
Endless energy is, after all, a science fiction concept. If we can obtain energy sources other than nuclear energy, it would be a great achievement!
