Chapter 314: Secret of Gantz

Within three hours, the Black Knight had successfully dug up a track of wire deep underground by tracing along the layout of the base’s wiring. It was an optical cable with a diameter of a regular fist.

The Black Knight swiftly cut open the outer layer of the optical cable, giving way to a gap wide enough to fit three fingers inside. There were bundles of thin optical cables layered within the larger cable.

After that, the Black Knight produced a device resembling a black mechanical beetle. Upon being installed on the exposed section, hundreds of probes came out of the beetle and automatically plugged themselves into the optical fibers.

“I received the signal.”

At the same time, X-112 that was positioned some twenty to thirty kilometers away suddenly informed, “The Black Knight successfully found the optical cable and installed the interceptor. I can begin infiltrating the internal server of the base using the interceptor signal.”

“Try to crack their network barrier without raising an alarm.”

Chen Chen reminded.

“Understood.”

Following X-112’s words, rows of massive data streams flashed automatically on the spaceship’s holographic projection. At the same time, X-112 began providing the latest updates. “Currently intercepting all data, preparing to decode and analyze...

“Extracted the base logs, currently infiltrating the base’s defense systems...

“The firewall has been breached...”

X-112’s infiltration was extremely efficient, there was an endless stream of updates. After approximately five minutes, X-112 spoke again, “Sir Commander, the defense systems of the base have been compromised. We can now barge right in.”

“Excellent work.”

Chen Chen nodded. “Tell me about the base.”

“This base is the North American Area 51 air force base. Somewhere around 1990, as the Gantz sphere technology began emerging, the North American, European, and Central Continents all obtained production rights of the Gantz sphere. This place is where the production of the Gantz sphere in North America was based.”

X-112 began to provide a detailed background. “However, Area 51 was already an air force military operation base in the very first place. To deploy production lines while also concealing them from the public, the underground section of Area 51 military base was excavated. This was where the production line of the Gantz sphere was set up.

“But these aren’t the primary focus. The true highlight is that to produce the Gantz sphere, an experimental environment known as ‘Vantablack’ was required.”

“I’ve heard about it.”

Chen Chen was intrigued. “‘Vantablack’ is a specially simulated environment wherein subsequent means of radiation reduction is applied to various sources of variation. This is done to negate as many sources of cosmic ray interference as possible.”

“Yes.”

X-112 replied affirmatively, “A ‘Vantablack’s environment is essential for conducting cutting-edge experiments such as dark matter detection, neutrinoless double beta decay experiments, and nuclear astrophysics. The current best method for constructing such an environment is by utilizing deep underground rock layers. Ideally, the laboratory should be built as deep underground as possible while also incorporating multiple layers of shielding to minimize the surrounding environmental radiation. The result is an almost completely pure dimension devoid of electromagnetic radiation...”

“Which is to say that the Gantz sphere can only be created under such specific conditions?”

Chen Chen nodded thoughtfully. “Excellent, I wonder if our Spire Experimental Base checks these boxes.”

“That would be entirely impossible.”

X-112 answered, “According to the information extracted, the Gantz sphere production line in the Mainland is set up in a laboratory in Sichuan Jinping. The laboratory is built 2,400 meters under a mountain. It’s the world’s deepest laboratory and they claimed it was for studying dark matter. Meanwhile, our Spire Laboratory is only 700 meters deep.”

Chen Chen let out a sigh. “Then have you found the manufacturing technology of the Gantz sphere?”

“I’ve found it, it’s being transmitted.”

X-112 announced again, “Based on the looks of it now, your speculation is correct. The Gantz sphere is no more than a terminal, while the relay station is a Gantz satellite with extended wavelengths. In other words, the Gantz sphere being used in conjunction with the Gantz satellite allows it to transport people around the world.

“Additionally, there’s something else called Gantz server inside the Gantz sphere system. The North American server is located right here. It’s used to log the data of all the people transported with Gantz. This includes information on the transported person’s cell layout, DNA structure, even the string perturbation frequency of the particles that make up DNA, and such. Without the server, the Gantz sphere is little more than scrap metal.”

“Is it that complicated?”

“That’s not even the end of it. What truly challenges the boundary of what we know as science is that each one of the Gantz Sphere, Gantz satellite, and the Gantz server are more than mechanical products.”

X-112 explained, “For the Gantz sphere, mechanical parts only make up 50% of its structure while the Gantz satellite consists of 70% mechanical parts. Meanwhile, the Gantz server is purely crafted using high-purity germanium, it isn’t made up of any other substance or contains mechanical structures. You might as well call it a statue carved from high-purity germanium... Needless to be said, this is a new aspect of scientific advancement that modern humans have not been able to achieve yet.”

“It does seem that way.”

Chen Chen flashed a curious look. “Any other discoveries?”

“The next part should be something that you’re most interested in.”

X-112 continued. “Based on the collected data, each country had foreseen the appearance of the Basilisk images and related mysterious phenomena upon their obtaining of the technology for the Gantz sphere. This is because the earliest form of Basilisk pattern is merely part of the pattern carved on the Gantz server machine...”

“What!”

If the other news Chen Chen had received so far could be described as being moderately acceptable or even predictable to a certain degree. This piece of information was completely left field and stunned Chen Chen. Even Yoru Kamidera was surprised by this revelation.

“Are you sure there hasn’t been some kind of mistake?”

“There’s no mistaking it.”

X-112 doubled down. “The complete report is logged inside the base. This report is further encrypted and shelved away in the deepest corner. At one point, it was also reported to the North American president. However, before they could conduct further research on the subject, human civilization was crippled by the mysterious phenomena. Naturally, the research was halted as well.”

As X-112 said this, a dense sheet of report written in English appeared before Chen Chen in the form of a holographic projection. X-112 went on. “What’s even more surprising is that inside this report, a research staff called Professor Stanford states that the Gantz server exists in a vulnerable but extremely unique dimension.

“There’s no way to analyze or detect this universe. Even the slightest trace of cosmic radiation would cause its complete destruction, but one certain thing is that it exists...

“One way to tell is that within the radius of the Gantz server, all mysterious phenomena are completely blocked and rendered useless.”
