<h4>Chapter 314: Secret of Gantz</h4>


    Within three hours, the ck Knight had sessfully dug up a track of wire deep underground by tracing along theyout of the base’s wiring. It was an optical cable with a diameter of a regr fist.


    The ck Knight swiftly cut open the outeryer of the optical cable, giving way to a gap wide enough to fit three fingers inside. There were bundles of thin optical cablesyered within therger cable.


    After that, the ck Knight produced a device resembling a ck 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 ck Knight sessfully 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 theirwork barrier without raising an rm.”


    Chen Chen reminded.


    “Understood.”


    Following X-112’s words, rows of massive data streams shed automatically on the spaceship’s holographic projection. At the same time, X-112 began providing thetest 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 beenpromised. 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 ce 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 ce. 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 ‘Vantack’ was required.”


    “I’ve heard about it.”


    Chen Chen was intrigued. “‘Vantack’ is a specially simted 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 ‘Vantack’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 rockyers. Ideally, theboratory should be built as deep underground as possible while also incorporating multipleyers of shielding to minimize the surrounding environmental radiation. The result is an almostpletely pure dimension devoid of electromaic 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, “ording to the information extracted, the Gantz sphere production line in the Maind is set up in aboratory in Sichuan Jinping. Theboratory is built 2,400 meters under a mountain. It’s the world’s deepestboratory and they imed 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 spection is correct. The Gantz sphere is no more than a terminal, while the ry 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 cellyout, 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 thatplicated?”


    “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 exined, “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 shed 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 rted 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 eptable or even predictable to a certain degree. This piece of information waspletely left field and stunned Chen Chen. Even Yoru Kamidera was surprised by this revtion.


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


    “There’s no mistaking it.”


    X-112 doubled down. “Theplete 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 itsplete 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 arepletely blocked and rendered useless.”
