To be honest, Miao Pu is very happy now. He has not experienced this emotion for a long time, because he feels that this is a good start. In the real research institute, there are indeed alternative treasures that can be discovered.
Regarding this harvest, Miao Pu did not intend to monopolize it. If the time is right, he will hand it over. After all, it will benefit the entire human group. This does not mean that Miao Pu is noble, but that he considers himself a member of the human race.
Of course, Miao Pu hopes that humanity will eventually win out in this disaster. Of course, handing it over does not affect his use at this moment.
Speaking of which, Miao Pu now feels more and more like a cow that lowers its head and eats fiercely. The fresh grass of knowledge is swallowed by him in big mouths, and then he looks for opportunities to regurgitate the knowledge, chewing it carefully and slowly digesting it.
This is roughly his plan for his future life, and even his main career for the rest of his life. If he chooses two more side jobs, plants and military, he thinks it should be these two. The former can make him have an ordinary career.
Covering it up, the latter can improve his military literacy, which can make up for his lack of wild background. He no longer expects to completely stay away from battles. He only hopes that elements such as danger and combat in his future life will not be as different as
Now that it is so frequent and intense, he feels that this goal is still within reach.
Miao Pu returned to the large research institute. Li Xuesong and the others were still waiting for him in the AI area, and the research institute had not yet been explored.
According to the original layout, the main passage leads to the periphery of the underground ruins and eventually reaches the core area of the ruins, but this is obviously unlikely to be the result now.
The logistics personnel trained by the captured blue-blood training materials performed well. They gave up multi-purpose when preparing and only specialized in logistics construction. They are engineers, architects, mechanics of the source system...
After ten hours of hard work, the living area has been basically completed, the general construction of the AI area has also come to an end, the protective shield is about to be closed, the barriers to the main passages are about to be completed, and the energy station has preliminary defensive capabilities.
When Miao Pu came back from driving [Heizi], Li Xuesong and the others had already completed cleaning up the entire B-level area. The building layout of this area is relatively simple, mainly including various large-scale laboratories, which fully control the research hardware system of large-scale research institutes.
Even if you get it.
However, Li Xuesong and the others also reported some bad news to Miao Pu. There were almost no monsters on the B layer, and there were no traces of battles. In addition, the A layer area that was first swept was also in a similar situation. There were also various abnormalities during the previous exploration of the C area. This
This means that the probability of a dangerous concentrated outbreak is very high.
"Area C itself is a very problematic place." Qian Lihang explained: "In this large research institute, the living area is at the front, Area A is for administrative, office, general control and other functional facilities, and Area B is for various experiments
According to our original information, Area C should be an auxiliary facilities area. Power, water supply, water supply, etc. are all in this area. Only a small part of them are temporary additions and expansions of new facilities. But the fact is that there are almost
A complete and separate facility area.”
"Well, indeed." Miao Pu also felt the same way. There was actually a senior researcher's dormitory in Area C, where he obtained the hard drive and [Yam Luo Tree] sample. In addition, Qian Lihang mentioned it in the power room before.
Several special areas that require ID cards to swipe the door are also in Area C. There are also areas that are inconsistent with the data, such as the backup control room and the material library. According to the data, they should have a very simple layout.
The passages and functional facilities are clearly visible at a glance. But they are actually two huge and independent unit areas.
Fortunately, when the group entered Area C last time, Qian Lihang obtained the latest map of Area C, and then had a more comprehensive understanding of the place. However, the focus of the group's visit this time was not Area C. Miao.
Park has never forgotten the original intention of exploring the mysterious passage. Exploring and finding the passage to the next building block space is the theme of exploring the mysterious passage. In comparison, solving puzzles and digging for treasure is secondary.
If Area C is the kind of area where it is easier to see where the bottom line is, Miao Pu would not mind using the power of thunder to sweep holes, add another control area and harvest valuable materials or information at will. But the current situation is
, the pool of water in Area C seemed not shallow at all. So Miao Pu chose to circle the land first, and as for the various problems inside, he would sort it out slowly after he had time.
Based on such a principle, Miao Pu's trip is focused on two points. First, this is the area bordering Area B with few expansion passages and facilities. The main ones are rooms opened around the cylindrical main axis space. According to Miao Pu
Pu means that this layer will be completely crystallized and serve as an insurance buffer layer between Area C and Area B. Only in this way can Miao Pu be assured of the safety of Area B and can dispatch logistics personnel to carry out various operations.
Due to material limitations, the number of artificial humans is limited, and Miao Pu does not want these producers to suffer any losses.
Two people worked in groups, and all the work was successfully completed in 2 minutes. Under the action of honeycomb bombs, barrier bombs, which are earth energy crystallization applications), the entire space seemed to have been turned into amber, and all spaces were covered with honeycomb structures.
filled with crystals.
This structure is hollow, and its weight per unit volume is far less than that of rock and steel, but it is extremely strong, 17 times the standard strength of military fortifications, has good adhesion capabilities, and has certain expansion functions.
Theoretically, as long as there is enough energy, it can extend infinitely, and all materials contained by it and around it will be crystallized. Of course, this process may take ten years, hundreds, or even thousands of years to be calculated.
After the crystallization was completed, there was only a staircase connecting Area C and Area B. The rest, including ventilation, water supply and drainage, etc., were blocked, and the power pipelines were also blocked, making the lines completely embedded.
The common wiring ducts buried in the walls of homes are even tighter. Not to mention monsters, not even air can get through.
Later, Miao Pu called the logistics team to set up a sealed hatch and a monitoring system on the steps. Since the templates were all ready-made, the installation process was very fast and was basically completed in half an hour.
After that, Miao Pu and his party went to another point, the power area. Similar to the treatment area, the power room was completely sealed to strengthen the protection of the power department. As for the maintenance issue, the inspection channel was left, but it was very limited.
If the parts are really aging and damaged and need to be replaced, there are naturally ways to partially remove the filling of the honeycomb bomb. However, currently it can only be done by Miao Pu himself, and it has not yet been widely used.
Of course, even if this is done, there are still hidden dangers in power transmission. For example, the transmission line between the power room and the zone is likely to be damaged. However, such losses are already within Miao Pu's tolerance, and troubleshooting is relatively easy.
What's more, as an energy station, it is not very dependent on the power room. It is not known how many years and months it will take for the large number of electric power equipment in the two areas of AH to resume normal operation, and the team does not need it for the time being. After all,
There is already a complete source equipment system, and the development potential is worth looking forward to.
It only took less than two hours to complete Area C. Miao Pu was satisfied and led the exploration team to immediately rush to the main passage of Area A to explore the new area.
Passing through a portal with fortress-level protection and entering a new unknown area is like stepping from a fortress representing civilization into a barbaric world. Darkness and unknown have become the most obvious themes, and even the temperature has dropped to a level that makes ordinary people
The level is unbearable, minus 70 degrees Celsius, a freezing cold that can kill people in seconds.
"Ci'ao, if the skin is directly exposed to the outside, I'm afraid it will freeze to death immediately, right?" Qian Lihang glanced at the comprehensive display inside the helmet to show data content, oxygen content, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc. Source Technology
An application that is embodied in the form of chart data that modern humans are more accustomed to.), he couldn't help but shudder. He did not directly feel the power of the severe cold. This kind of temperature can only be imagined, and it will kill someone to feel it.
.
Hu Yantie looked at the road under his feet. The asphalt road that had been expanded from the research institute ended here. The road ahead was only a rough and smooth rock and soil road. However, it was originally supposed to be a cave tunnel, but now it is wilderness and boundless darkness.
, you can’t see the end when you shine the flashlight on it, it’s so spacious, you can’t help but feel shocked and realize your own insignificance.
Although Miao Pu also expressed emotion about the environment here, it was more of a bad premonition.
Sure enough, after traveling for a while, the road was cut off.
It is not necessarily true that it is completely cut off. There is still a way, but even for his strength, this road is terrifying. It is a broken bridge. This bridge floats quietly in the void, surrounded by
It is a darkness that cannot be seen to the bottom, and the fragments of the bridge are no longer on the same level. Some are high and some are low, and some are close and some are far apart. Some of the fragments are big and some are small. The big ones are like Yu Jian.
There was a complete bridge, and the smaller ones were made of various types of stones. He even saw that one section was very brittle and made of gravel, and the largest one was no bigger than a fist.
The bridges are very strange. They are suspended there, emitting a faint light of energy. This light is almost invisible, but it can still be easily detected using energy perception.
"Are we going to walk on this bridge?" Qian Lihang couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not. We don't even know if the bridge can reach the other side. We won't use it until it is repaired. It's too risky." Miao Pu's decision made others sigh in relief.
Just as Miao Pu said, they also feel that this road is too dangerous. To rush in without obtaining enough information and without proper protection measures is simply a joke with their lives. The surroundings are as deep as the twisted void of the universe.
.
Miao Pu did not give up at this time and led the team to search for other possible roads. As a result, they soon discovered that this place was not actually as vast as they imagined. Its total area was only a dozen football fields. It was like a
The super large terrace is suspended in the twisted void. It is impossible to get a full view because of the lack of God's perspective, but Miao Pu always feels that this place and the other two places (passage, top floor of area A) are not as simple as being directly exposed to the [capsule space]
.Of course, even so, the void here is still as difficult for him to conquer as the sky of the earth was to prehistoric humans.
In fact, Miao Pu's feeling is correct. All building block areas are wrapped in a layer of liquid-like energy, and the relationship between them is like the atmosphere and the earth. This layer of wrapped energy is thicker in some places and thicker in others.
It is thin and able to flow. Within the area it encompasses, some characteristics of [Capsule Space] can appear, such as ice coldness and dryness, but it is far from as bad as the real [Capsule Space]. The real [Capsule Space]
】It is more deserted and void than the universe, but at least there is energy here, but this energy is generally difficult to use.
Miao Pu, who found himself on an isolated island, could only do the next best thing. After the logistics team completed the construction of the energy station, they began to try to repair the bridge. Before the bridge could be passed, they had to completely complete Area C of the large research institute.
Done.
Soon, the group caught up with the progress of the last expedition and arrived at the waterlogged area where the backup control room on the CI floor is located opposite the power area.
The water in this layer has not been excreted as expected, but has dropped from above the knees when Miao Pu left to below the ankles. As for the other two layers below, they are naturally still soaked in water.
Qian Lihang checked the connection equipment and said: "It seems that the drainage pipe is blocked."
Miao Pu nodded. He saw a lot of plants underwater, not to mention various objects soaked in the water. It was not surprising that the drainage pipe was blocked. He decided to start by destroying the monsters. Soon after, the group
Then the monster with the strange tail pincer was discovered.
The monster's body was not that big, about the size of a Tibetan mastiff, and it looked like a velociraptor, but it had no front claws, and its powerful hind legs were a bit awkwardly long. He thought, maybe it was because of these two
Only with legs, the monster can swim in water as deep as a meter without showing its head and back, and it can stand up to a height of about 6 meters.
Everyone fired, and the monsters that didn't die immediately screamed and rushed towards them.
When Miao Pu took a look at it, he thought that this head was really cheap. It had no nose or eyes, only a mouth and ear holes.
"Tsk" Miao Pu shot him in the head. However, the skull of this monster was extremely hard, and even the shot he shot failed to penetrate its head.
The monster that had been shot by Miao Pu stumbled back a little, and its head whipped around, intending to bite again, but it had no chance. A hail of bullets from the machine gun in Hu Yantie's hand swept over the monster, and the monster was immediately beaten into a hornet's nest.
.
The battle ended within two minutes, but the group had a very deep impression of the monsters, not only because of their strange appearance, but also because of their abnormal defense with thick skin and thick flesh. Every one of them had to be shot.
They need to be hit by at least ten shots before they die. If this were the firepower configuration when they first entered the underground ruins, any monster other than Miao Pu would probably put them in dire straits.
Not long after that, they lost another group of monsters. This group rushed out from a certain room, and there were about a dozen of them. Miao Pu and the others thought that this room might be the monster's lair. After destroying the monsters, they entered
But I found that this was not the case. So I wondered why the monsters gathered in this room.
With this question in mind, the group turned back and conducted a simple examination, including dissection, of the recently killed monsters in the passage.
As a result, not long after it started, I saw the water under my feet quickly flowing away in the direction it came from, and then I heard the rumbling sound of water.
"Come into the house quickly, Tide." The first one to react was Li Xuesong, and the one who deliberately acted last was Miao Pu.
Sure enough, when he retreated into the house, he saw that in the passage, the passage was completely filled with turbid waves, gushing and rolling in this direction.
The door of this room had long been destroyed by monsters. But even so, it was able to avoid the direct impact of the turbid waves.
However, this rolling wave is not naturally generated. Although Miao Pu and others were not directly swept into the water, the influx of water was extremely strong, forming a water surge like a water dragon. When it rushed to the top,
Miao Pu and his party were unable to stand due to being pushed and fell down one after another.
But that wasn't the end. The water was like a living thing. After knocking everyone down, it took advantage of the backflow to drag everyone out of the room.
Fortunately, people had already realized that there was something fishy about the water. Qian Lihang directly threw a barrier bomb at the door. The crystallized energy wall formed by the explosion of the bomb cut the water in two like a guillotine.
The flowing water that wrapped around everyone like tentacles immediately lost its strength and fell into pieces and turned into ordinary water.
Miao Pu and the others knew that the crystallized barrier could not withstand the force for long, and could only take a breather at most, so they reacted quickly, forming a group back-to-back, connected by ropes, which not only increased the resistance to the impact of water flow, but also ensured that no one would be left alone.
At the same time, the water waves hit the crystallized barrier, and the barrier cracked, just like a ship sinking into the deep sea, and the deep sea pressure affects the cabin window glass. Miao Pu's group is at the front. This room is like the standard of many express hotels.
The same as the room, the entrance section is only a mile wide. A group of four people, even with their bodies, is wide enough to get stuck and will not be easily taken out.
boom
The barrier collapsed, and the impact of the turbid waves came over like a giant hammer. Everyone activated their energy shields one after another. They were not injured, but they were still inevitably swept away. However, just as they expected, the entrance to the room was too narrow and the water rolled back.
At that time, they were not able to take them out.
After this wave, a large amount of water continued to pour in, turning the entire room into an underwater world in an instant. For Miao Pu and the others, this was not as depressing as before. Their armors had their own respiratory and circulatory systems.
There was a problem of drowning. Moreover, the hard and soft armor system took into account the force of external pressure, so despite the extremely high water pressure, no one felt any discomfort.
"This water pressure is really not small. The instigator's ability to control water with his hands is really strong." Miao Pu looked at the water pressure data and was secretly shocked. He gestured to the others, meaning to let them wait here.
I want to go out and have a look.
In this special water, his perception was greatly limited, so he could only take risks. He couldn't even guarantee his own safety, so naturally he didn't want Li Xuesong and the others to rush out rashly.
