Honkai Impact: Saving the Pre-civilization by rubbing black technology

 V2/Chapter 50: Quantum Sea, here I come.

Exploring the quantum sea is actually not as difficult as imagined.

As long as we master the technology to establish a stable connection with the real world in the quantum sea, so as to enable navigation and tracking, we will be able to carry out a certain degree of exploration.

Of course, no matter how reliable the navigation technology is, there is still a high risk of failure in the unpredictable and strange environment of the quantum sea. Therefore, theoretically speaking, it is almost impossible to achieve always reliable quantum sea exploration technology.

At least not yet.

Ai Yue's previous research was also stuck at this step - he lacked sufficiently stable and reliable core materials to make the central chip of the navigation system so that it could function in the quantum sea.

Originally, if one wanted to break through this point, one would need to conduct repeated and tedious trial and error work, trying all the materials that might work one by one. However, because of the appearance of Pardofelis, Ai Yue came up with the idea of "skipping class".

That is to say, with the help of Pardofelis's good luck, try to directly choose the most suitable one.

Although it sounds metaphysical, considering Pardofelis's own performance in the original plot, Ai Yue still thinks it is worth a try.

The result also proved the value of Pardofelis - the ore chosen by the other party perfectly met all of Ai Yue's requirements. Although from the theoretical model, there are still problems such as short battery life and easy distortion once overheating, but at least it can be put into the next step of the experiment.

Since it works in theory, the next step is to make adjustments based on the problems that arise in the prototype.

Ai Yue let out a long sigh, then took another look at the system. The research on the gravity field was still progressing slowly. At the current rate of progress, it might not be completed within a week.

As the difficulty of Ai Yue's scientific research projects continued to increase, the system's scientific research progress was also slowing down. In the beginning, for many projects, the system was able to convert materials into scientific research progress almost immediately after they were put in. Later, even rare materials would take dozens of minutes or even more than an hour, and now it is even more exaggerated.

Even if ten portions of ordinary-grade materials are used, it is difficult to advance the progress by even 1%, and rare-grade materials may take a day or even several days to convert, and in the end the progress bar can only increase by a small amount.

It would be great if it could be faster, but even though Ai Yue is now working hard to absorb all kinds of knowledge to enrich himself, this method still has little effect on accelerating the system.

Therefore, he still had to wait patiently for about a week before he could activate the "gravity field disintegration ray" technology.

Of course, to develop this technology in less than a month is an unimaginable beast-level speed for humans - even for normal humans, they have no idea of the prerequisite technology tree required to research this technology.

But for Ai Yue, time is life - the Cocoon of the Finality is a bastard that won't play by the rules with humans. It can create three or four Herrschers in a row to torture human civilization in just a few years. This is certainly because the Fire Moth is too cruel, but it is also related to the other party's rules that have no bottom line.

To be fair, although the technology in Ai Yue's hands has not been fully deployed, it has already brought unimaginable progress to human civilization. He is really not sure what kind of cruel thing the next Herrscher will do to him when they appears. Therefore, before that, he must find a way to make effective plans for each Herrscher as much as possible.

So this is one of the reasons why Ai Yue is determined to explore the Quantum Sea. After all, compared to the real world, there are more strange things in a place like the Quantum Sea. If he can really find a way to reach an agreement with some existence in the Quantum Sea, maybe the other party can help him.

Of course, that kind of thing is too idealistic. Unless Ai Yue is crazy, he will not pin his hopes on such a thing.

Three days later, after countless revisions, Ai Yue finally completed the final revised version of "Ball of Yarn No. 1".

On this day, Pardofelis had to end her vacation and report back to the headquarters because she received an urgent mission recall from the Fire Moth.

"Brother Yue, I really don't want to go back!"

After receiving the mission information, Pardofelis threw herself into Ai Yue's arms and cried loudly, but she didn't shed a single tear. "I haven't rested enough. The Australian sun is so good. I really want to bask in it for two more days!"

"Good girl, this is your own choice."

Ai Yue patted her on the back, "What is the mission this time?"

"They said they suspected that a country in Europe was secretly conducting research on Honkai beasts, and they wanted to investigate."

Pardofelis rubbed back and forth in Ai Yue's arms, as if she was greedy for the smell of Ai Yue. "Because the previous two teams failed, we had no choice but to go up."

After being armed by Ai Yue, the "Cat's Claw Squad" led by Pardofelis has become the most powerful reconnaissance and infiltration team of the Fire Moth. Naturally, such a difficult task should be handed over to them to complete.

Hearing that it was just a minor problem between humans, Ai Yue breathed a sigh of relief. After sending away the reluctant Pardofelis, he did not forget to ask Prometheus to follow up on the mission, and then he turned his attention back to the task at hand.

"Ball of Yarn No. 1", as the name suggests, is a tribute to the magical ball of yarn that led Theseus through the Minotaur's labyrinth in the mythology. Ai Yue also hopes to use this thing to successfully complete his first exploration of the quantum sea.

Then he took ball of yarn No. 1 and went to the laboratory next door.

If Dr. Mei had the opportunity to see this laboratory, she would definitely open her eyes wide in surprise - because everything presented in this laboratory is almost exactly the same as the laboratory she used to carry out the "Eye of the Abyss" project in Mu Continent.

The only difference is that all the facilities here, including the ring-shaped device that looks like the Eye of the Abyss, are very compact. Compared with the huge ring-shaped device with a diameter of more than ten meters in the original version, the ring-shaped device here is at most three meters in diameter.

This is the Quantum Sea portal that Ai Yue optimized and designed on his own after mastering Dr. Mei's information. Although it is not as large as the original version, both the energy consumption and the system's operating burden are much smaller. As long as Ai Yue is willing, he can even keep the portal in an activated state for three months without any problems.

"Dr. Ai Yue, I still suggest you dive with caution."

In Ai Yue's earphones, Prometheus patiently advised him for who knows how many times, "At least please bring your guard Hua with you."

"This thing can only let one person through at a time. Given the situation in the Quantum Sea, even if Hua and I go in one after the other, we will still be far apart. There's no point in going together."

Ai Yue said very calmly, "Besides, there is only one ball of yarn. Should she use it or should I?"

"Then..."

"Stop talking nonsense and start it!"

"Understood. The Quantum Sea portal has entered the activation phase. Countdown, 10, 9, 8..."

Looking at the ring-shaped device that gradually lit up, Ai Yue took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Anyway, this isn't the first time I've traveled through world, right?
