Time passed slowly. One day later, just as Zhang Yuan and others were urgently developing countermeasures against the digital virus, the high-speed shuttle troops from the front successfully returned and brought back precious close-up photos.
These ultra-high-definition shooting instruments have all undergone special processing, and coupled with the ultra-high-speed movement of the high-speed shuttle, the possibility of being infected by viruses is extremely low. Comparing these photos with the video transmitted back by the frontline investigation robot may be able to discover more valid data.
After a while, an exploration force from a hemispheric civilization sent another message. They actually discovered a series of data anomalies.
Located 120 kilometers east of the Toss Civilization Base, there is a very strange silver-white circular venue covered with strange "iron balls".
These strange iron balls are inlaid in the silver-white square, with a diameter of about 150 meters, and there are about one hundred and fifty in number. The optical properties of these iron balls appear to be very strange. They are almost totally reflective and shiny, like a large piece of mercury.
The most critical thing is that the exploration robots of the hemispheric civilization did not actually explore this site. When they approached the circular square, they all changed directions and ran to another place.
This fact was analyzed after data investigation, because almost all the robots made this action in unison, as if they were avoiding this circular place, which seemed quite wrong.
This fact quickly attracted the attention of all staff.
People began to urgently analyze the photos taken by the high-speed shuttle. These photos are more real.
Zhang Yuan frowned and quickly glanced at a photo. There seemed to be a huge transparent glass cover above the silver-white square. The Hemispheric Man's reconnaissance robot changed its direction 12 kilometers away from the sphere, but no error messages came out. These things seemed to be covered up by an invisible hand.
If it weren't for the photos brought back by the high-speed shuttle, people in Hemisphere might really ignore this silver-white square.
"Is the function of the digital virus just to make the investigation robot avoid that area? Hmm... it's unlikely."
Li Zhendong sat in his seat and whispered: "Isn't this a new military weapon built by the Toss civilization?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head: "It doesn't look like it. There is no weapon like this. Instead, it looks a bit like a spaceship... With the curvature engine, a round spaceship is also pretty good."
"Why do the machines of the hemispheric civilization avoid this place invariably?"
"The cause is still under investigation."
One of the military experts said: "Then send one of our robots over to take a look."
"Our robot has also been poisoned, right?"
"Yeah, just because of this, force it to go over and see what happens?"
Zhang Yuan nodded and said: "Then send a P-113 model robot to directly attack this circular square with missiles, aim at an iron ball and launch it!"
Li Zhendong touched it and thought: "I remember that the P-113 missile uses gyro navigation."
"Yes, we need to test the properties of this digital virus!"
After issuing this order, people waited patiently for another 20 hours.
One after another, high-speed shuttles ran over to take photos. These soldiers undoubtedly took huge risks. Even high-speed shuttles were at risk of being shot down.
As a result, after a P-113 model robot of the New Human Civilization launched a missile, it unexpectedly missed the target! The missile did not bomb the circular square. Instead, it landed in a more remote corner and exploded.
Immediately afterwards, under the forced command of humans, the robot started its own power engine and rushed past like a tank. As a result, when it was 12 kilometers away from the sphere, it suddenly stopped and turned around. direction of progress.
Doesn't even P-113 work?
This fact shocked and frightened everyone.
If the robots of the Hemispheric Civilization deliberately avoid this area, it may be because their technology is not good enough, or it may be that the robots have some bugs, because the Toss Civilization is indeed very good at electromagnetic interference technology in this area.
But the robots of the new human civilization are prepared for this.
The new human civilization and the Toss civilization spent a lot of time together, and they also had technological exchanges with each other. It is unlikely that these robots will be completely paralyzed all of a sudden without even being able to transmit any information.
This large square filled with round iron balls has a problem, a big problem!
After reaching this conclusion, everyone took a breath of cold air and felt a little excited for no reason.
What people are afraid of is that there will be no breakthrough, but now, a breakthrough has appeared.
One of the experts said: "...it was a mysterious weapon that we didn't know that paralyzed these robots. According to the information we have collected so far, there are several different possibilities for the reason."
"The first is some kind of electronic interference attack. It may be that after reaching the 12-kilometer boundary, the square sent a series of electromagnetic pulses, paralyzing our robot."
"The second is physical attacks, such as micro lasers. The damage of a micro laser beam is only a few millimeters, but it can already substantially damage our robot. As long as a few small holes are punched in certain key parts, the robot will naturally be damaged. It's scrapped."
"Third, as Professor Zhang said, it is the digital virus that is causing trouble! The digital virus may have controlled the operation of the robot and caused it to malfunction to a certain extent."
"I think the last possibility has the highest probability!"
When the expert said the last few words, he was obviously nervous, "But it is still difficult for us to judge the logic behind the outbreak of these digital viruses. Is it to protect the silver-white circular square? The ones above Iron ball, what on earth is it?"
"Or maybe the digital virus is launched from these iron balls?"
Zhang Yuan frowned. Digital viruses can be regarded as a dimensionality reduction attack by advanced interstellar civilizations on low-level civilizations. Because low-level civilizations have no way to study them. If humans did not possess virtual world technology, they might be like the civilizations of the hemisphere. Even if they knew there was a huge treasure in front of them, they would only be in a state of blindness.
Level five or level six civilizations have a deeper understanding of the quantum randomness of intelligent life, and can therefore create a digital program that can dynamically change.
This kind of digital program is somewhat similar to intelligent life, but it is not real life. According to human understanding, 1 represents real life and 0 represents non-intelligent life. It seems to be an intermediate number between 0 and 1, 0.1 or 0.5. This is something completely unimaginable and abstract.
These digital viruses can spread through electromagnetic waves, penetrate almost everywhere, and infect chips with computing power.
The only digital virus sample currently available to humans is the "10,000-year-old" virus captured during the war with the Badit Civilization. But the characteristics of the ten thousand year old bug and this new virus are completely different, and there is no way to learn from them.
If humans can really control unknown digital viruses, and they don't even need to completely control them, they just need to be able to use them, it will be a huge progress and can achieve dimensionality reduction against the remaining level 4 civilizations.
