"No substantive content related to the Prometheus program was retrieved." Emma answered.

"Forget it, just go down and take a look."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the data center, passed the elevator, and arrived at the 24th floor underground.

The moment the elevator door opened, Tang Fang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but stutter. This was an underground hall covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, with various armored vehicles parked on the booth like goods.

While walking forward, look at the instructions on these armored vehicles on the monitor next to the booth.

"Wildfire" tank: equipped with a double-barrel 80mm cannon and a fire-breathing device, which can kill infantry on a large scale.

"Medusa": a light off-road vehicle equipped with a 35mm beam weapon, with a maximum speed of 320km.

"Phantom" tank: equipped with optical camouflage device, which can effectively integrate into the surrounding environment and launch an ambush on the target unit.

The giant tank of "Thunder King": equipped with a double-barrel cannon, a retractable machine gun array tower against infantry, a six-connected missile launcher, a detachable track armor, and an excavation arm.

...

The entire hall is more like a weapon display hall. Every vehicle here is a test model developed by the Galaxy Armament R&D Center, but it cannot be mass-produced for various reasons and can only be parked here as a collection.

I walked around like a quick walk, and finally walked to a "Hellscream" attack tank, bent down, pulled out a trackpad from the chassis, and typed a string of digital passwords.

"Swish..." A sound of gas ejection came not far away, and the outer armor of a large drone mcv (mobile base vehicle) unfolded outward, revealing the internal hive structure.

Following Emma's guidance, Tang Fang walked into a hive and pressed the touch button casually. With a strange sound, the soles of his feet trembled, and the platform on his feet slowly descended.

Half a minute later, the elevator hit the bottom and the sensing door closed to both sides. Tang Fang stepped out of the elevator and entered the -25th floor lobby and took a look. His face changed.

The same as the -24th floor. The open hall with thousands of square meters is much higher than the former.

The place where Tang Fang stood was the upper floor of a zigzag staircase. From a distance, there were five super-large glassware in the hall, filled with light blue fluid. Various conduits extended from the bottom of the vessel, electronic equipment interface, catalytic furnace diversion valve, etc. to a large laser instrument in the center of the room.

"Well? What research is the military doing?" He walked down the ladder and looked at the environment in the hall. Not to mention the extremely precise scientific instruments, the fluid substances in the five super-large vessels were surprising enough.

Zero source. Many, many zero source!

"What is the Prometheus plan?" Confused, Tang Fang came to the center of the hall.

The laser instrument is a wheel-shaped whole, with 6 laser guns aiming at a damaged chip floating in the air in the center of the round wheel, and purple streamers flash quickly along the lines on the chip.

Because the entire Apalus base has been shut down, the wheel-type equipment has also stopped operating, and the entire hall is quiet, only the data model on the electronic device display is still rotating and changing.

"Emma, ​​can you figure out the meaning of 'Prometheus'?" Tang Fang asked casually by inserting the lead of the power armor into the data interface of a supercomputer under the wheel-type laser instrument.

"Decrypting the data, please wait."

About 5 minutes later, Emma's voice sounded: "Commander, decryption is completed."

"speak."

"According to official information, Prometheus's plan is an experimental project to decrypt a data chip of unknown origin. Just like deciphering Ipsilon Technology, it is to analyze the data contained in the chip and obtain more advanced scientific and technological resources."

"Huh?" After hearing Emma's explanation of the "Prometheus" plan, Tang Fang couldn't help but frown: "So. Does this broken chip store data that is far more advanced than human technology?"

"It can be said that by looking up the experimental data of 'Prometheus', it can be confirmed that the military is planning to use the method of deciphering Ipsilon technology to extract the scientific and technological resources on the chip. However, it is obvious that they have entered a dead zone. It has been 288 days since the plan was implemented. As for the research results, they are infinitely close to zero."

"Infinitely approaches zero?" Tang Fang was surprised: "Is it possible that the technological level of this damaged chip is higher than that of the Ipsilon civilization?"

"There is no way to verify, no data to refer to."

Tang Fang pondered for a moment: "No matter what, this thing cannot be left in the hands of the military."

After saying that, he moved a lifting machine from the side, pressed the lifting button, and slowly took it into the air.

The chip was quietly suspended in the air. If the purple streamer was ignored, it would be an inconspicuous broken iron piece at a glance. After finding out that there was no danger, he stretched out his right arm and grabbed the broken chip from the center of the wheel equipment.

Originally, the chip was still, just like a dead object. Who would have thought that as soon as the palm and the chip came into contact, the pulse energy of the forehead rotating around the Ipsilon character suddenly became as violent as thunder. Before Tang Fang could react, he was like a tide of thunder, rushing straight to the broken chip along his right arm to the palm of his palm.

"Snap" a dazzling light flashed by, and the arc hit the chip pattern. The purple streamer, which was originally as thin as a gossip, instantly flourished, bursting out a dazzling flash of light.

Zi lights burst out from the chip pattern, like a 3D holographic projection facility, drawing a series of non-stop streams of binary characters in the air.

"This... what is this?" Tang Fang was confused, his eyes staring at the binary data streams, and he was a little at a loss.

"Emma, ​​Emma... can you see it? What do these binary characters mean?"

After waiting for a while without hearing the response, Tang Fang was shocked: "Emma, ​​what are you doing? Why don't you reply?"

Still no answer, he glanced at the still-beating string, and Tang Fang switched his attention to the system space. The scene that appeared in front of him made him stunned.

The Zerg and the Gods are safe, but the humans have returned to the gray locked state that was not activated before.

"How could this happen? Why did this happen?" My heart was heavy, like a huge rock adorned with, and it couldn't be squeezed.

What is the origin of this damn chip? Why does it affect the interstellar system in my mind? Why is the gods and insects unhindered, and there is a change in the human race alone?

Gray, locked state, this... It's like the beautiful mood that just unlocked the heavy factory disappeared in an instant when I returned to the front before liberation.

Now that I am not well-fed, without the support of the human base, how can I disguise my own power by relying solely on the gods and insects? How can I face the Crotan garrison?

"Damn it! Where did this ghost thing come from?" Just as he was angry and was about to throw away the chip, the flow of the binary data string stopped and the purple light slowly disappeared.

At the same time, an invisible force forced his attention back to his mind.

The system space has been black and the cursor is flashing.
