Chapter 73 Drilling network cables
"Are you sure this will work on Brainiac?"
Shen You looked at the virtual mechanical device model composed of 3D projected light in front of him with some doubts.
The transparent screen next to him displayed various detailed parameters about this device.
"It should work."
Astra, the former general of Krypton, stood in the Red Sun cell through the glass with his arms folded and introduced calmly.
"Brainiac's usual method is that every time he comes to a planet, he will take away an entire more advanced city on that planet as a collection.
He has some kind of miniaturization technology that allows him to shrink an entire city small enough to fit inside his glass bottle. "
Shen You naturally knew this. As a well-known figure collector, the city is Brainiac's favorite part of the invasion. His spaceship has a large collection of representative cities from different civilizations. It’s just that he seems to be unable to escape the end of being fucked by Superman in the end, and his precious figures will eventually become a beautiful scenery in the Fortress of Solitude.
If I remember correctly, even the destruction of Krypton was related to him.
In fact, as a super civilization, Krypton was suddenly destroyed at the drop of a hat. There is something a little strange about it. In the subsequent supplements to some Superman stories, the shadow of the figurine maniac is often found in the events of the destruction of Krypton.
Collectibles are more valuable precisely because they are rare, and Brainiac, the number one figure fiend in the universe, also believes in this truth. Therefore, when he lands on a certain planet and digs up a city, he will absorb and digest all the historical, cultural and technological knowledge created by that civilization, and after a period of time, he will quietly erase that civilization from the interstellar space by some means.
In this way, the collection he holds becomes the last trace of that civilization in the interstellar space, and its value will be immeasurable.
"I developed this 'anti-miniaturization device' after Brainiac left." Astra said lightly, "Set three devices like this in the building targeted by Brainiac. Three specific coordinates around the city form a triangle.
The electromagnetic barrier it generates is capable of neutralizing the miniature rays emitted by Brainiac's spacecraft. "
"That's it." Shen You nodded, "Pal, do you understand?"
"Assembly has begun. It is expected that three anti-miniature prototypes will be completed within two days, sir." Pal's voice sounded.
"Very good. Then did you mention that there is a more critical technology?" Shen You asked, "What do you call that? Quantum transmission robot?"
"That one can't be completed." Astra shook her head.
"Tell me."
"The anti-miniature barrier is the shield we designed to deal with Brainiac, and the quantum transmission is the spear we designed to deal with him." Astra said, "The reason for this design is because Brainiac originally When Yark invaded, all of Krypton's weapons were nearly ineffective against his ship.
His defensive force field is indestructible, no matter whether it is live ammunition or energy, we have tried every means but can't break through it. "
Shen You nodded. He also had an impression of this. After all, with Superman's level-defining data panel, it is often impossible to penetrate the defensive force field of Lao Bu's spaceship.
"Later, we made some unexpected discoveries through research." Astra continued, "Brainiac is an AI, and his entire army is a machine made by himself, without a living body.
We reviewed the situation repeatedly after the war and discovered a signal in a special frequency band that does not exist on Krypton."
"You mentioned this." Shen You nodded, "You said you could detect Brainiac's movements based on that signal fluctuation."
"Yes. But using it for early warning is only one aspect. Our most cutting-edge scientists have proposed another plan." Astra said, "Brainiac commanded all the machines and warships under his command to use the same frequency band signal.
Jor-El invented a robot. The robot has a system that allows it to switch between physical and signal states. Therefore, as long as we crack and simulate Brainiac's signal frequency band, our robot troops can mix into his command channel and jump directly into his battleship in the form of signals. "
This fantastic idea surprised Shen You a little at first, and he couldn't help but wonder that this Kryptonian scientist was not a vegetarian after all, and he could still do this kind of thing. But then I thought about it, and it seems that this kind of operation is not uncommon in DC.
The most well-known of similar abilities is probably the Atom, which can shrink its body to a microscopic level and derive the ability to jump along network cables, phone lines and even wireless signals.
There is also Qinglan, a prisoner in the Phantom Zone who appears in the American TV series "Supergirl", who also has the superpower of drilling through network cables. Shen You speculated that the inspiration for the technology studied by the Kryptonians might have come from her.
There was even a Superman at some point. At that time, Superman's body suffered an abnormality and turned into "Superman Blue" made of pure energy. He also developed the ability to transmit signals, jump along network cables, and shuttle through the data world.
But speaking of this
Shen Youxun thought, if you want to put it this way, it seems that he should be regarded as a pure energy body?
"That's why I said, this is impossible." Astra shook his head, "The concept of the quantum transmission machine army was not completed in the end, and it only stayed in the experimental stage until the destruction of Krypton.
And the people who mastered this technology have perished along with Krypton, so no one can now"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen You: "Is this what you said?"
As he spoke, Shen You's whole body glowed brightly, and a dazzling golden light bloomed in the room. The next moment, the human form of Shen You's body disappeared and transformed into a ball of pure light energy, which entered a smartphone he placed on the table next to him.
Astra opened her mouth wide when she was halfway through speaking, and swallowed the unfinished words back into her stomach, all of which turned into that classic and friendly greeting——
——What The F*ck? ? ?
The next moment, a golden light flashed at the console in the room, and the golden light leaped out from the screen. Countless spots of light dissipated and he returned to Shen You's human form, standing there and adjusting his clothes elegantly.
"Is this what you're talking about?"
Astra's mouth opened into an O shape.
After a long while, he said stiffly: "What are you doing?"
"Oh, this was an elective course when I was in school. It taught us how to energize our bodies and get into the data world, so that we can jump along the wireless signals." Shen You said casually.
Superman Blue in the energy state can change signals and drill network cables, and Ultraman can do the same. In the 27th episode of TV, Membius digitized his body and got into the system of the Defense Force Guys, and fought against the virtual monster Jayton in the data world.
It's nothing unusual for Shen You. Not everyone in the Kingdom of Light knows it, but it's not too difficult if you want to learn it.
Astra's eyes widened.
Datafication of the body. Elective course?
What is taught in your school?
Then Astra realized something even more terrifying.
School electives, does that mean that as long as everyone on this planet studies hard and makes progress every day, everyone can fail like this?
Thinking of this section, the look she looked at Shen You couldn't help but become even more horrifying.
So what kind of heaven-defying planet is he coming from?
