Until they reached Area 22, there was no dialogue between the two of them. The brothers who once talked about everything were now guarding each other and were unable to even express a complete sentence. For some reason, Gu Tie had the idea of "fellow bedfellows" popping up in his mind. Four words followed by spitting. Neither the code left by Aziwei nor the traces of anyone passing by were found along the way. Gu Tie began to feel a little worried at this time, but the destination was just ahead. , according to what Lao Xiao said, it was not a bad idea to turn on the surveillance system to search for Rainforest Flowers, so he unconsciously speeded up his pace.
The words "Area 22" finally appeared on the wall. Gu Tie breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a dull pain in his internal organs, and his back was wet with sweat. Fortunately, he could take a rest. As the main control area, the access control system in this area is in line with the The central passage was equally tight, and the two minutes it took for Xiao Liping to be inspected seemed quite long. "Hiss..." The two doors finally slid open, and Gu Tie stepped in first. Compared with other areas (especially Area 14 where armored motor vehicles are parked), as Areas 15 and 16 of the biochemical laboratory) Area 22 is much smaller, with only three connected control rooms. "Gu Tie, you go to room 3 to turn on the main power, and I will turn on the active and passive defense systems. Then we will Meet in Room 2, which is the central monitoring room," Xiao Liping instructed.
"It's up to you," Gu Tie snorted and walked towards Room 3. Two red emergency lights illuminated the huge console. He sat on the swivel chair and stretched out his hand to wipe it. There was still no trace of dust on the countertop. The nameplate under the equipment marked : "Solvay Solex: PFSA2000000," Gu Tie understood that this meant that the second-floor base of Panshen Wine Cellar was equipped with a giant fuel cell unit manufactured by Solvay, the world's largest fuel cell company, with an installed capacity of 2 megawatts ( 2,000,000 watts), this scale is enough to power a town in a developed country, and it is definitely an excessive luxury to use here.
Although the Chinese have never been exposed to this kind of equipment, the more specialized the equipment, the higher the degree of automation. This is an unchanging truth. He opened the transparent bulletproof glass, found the bright red start button, and after briefly reading the instructions above, Turn on the four switches next to the button.
The big screen lit up, and the two pressure histogram values on the left were rising steadily. One represented light oil and the other represented natural gas. It seemed that light oil and natural gas were used to produce hydrogen as fuel for the fuel cell. With the automatic ignition When the device started, the temperature gauge immediately rose to 815 degrees Celsius. The methane in the raw material reacted with water vapor under the action of the catalyst to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The hydrogen pressure gauge quickly entered the green zone. Gu Tie pressed the start button hard, and then Listening to the low humming sound deep underground, Solvay Solex's PFSA special polymer plasma ion exchange membrane began to convert hydrogen into water and electricity. The current output by the membrane electrode spread throughout the entire base in an instant, "Bang, Bang bang, bang," 10,600 lights were turned on almost at the same time, illuminating every corner of the ring-shaped building. Sounds finally appeared in the dead base, various sounds, the ticking of instruments, The buzzing of the motor, the friction of the bearings, and the clicking of the printer were like a yawn after waking up from a deep sleep. The huge underground building came to life amidst the noisy noise.
Gu Tie covered his eyes and took a long time to adapt to the bright light. "Thank you," Xiao Liping's voice came from Room 1. Gu Tie walked over and saw that he was activating defensive measures one by one. Just glance at this computer The weapons console jointly manufactured by the three major weapons suppliers Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and Grumman, you know that as Lao Xiao said, this ring base is a truly powerful battleship, dense and dense. The list of weapon systems slid across the screen. There were hundreds of firepower points installed in the central channel alone, which could evaporate an assault team of hundreds of people into water vapor in one second. "Are they all automatically controlled?" Gu Tie He raised his knuckles and looked at the iron case of the console, "Is this guy reliable? As long as it's a computer, there will always be loopholes, regardless of whether it's connected to the Internet or not."
Xiao Liping replied: "The level of intelligence is relatively low. The host is protected inside a radiation-proof wall, so the reliability should be good. Okay, it's completely safe now. Let's go to Room 2."
The two walked into the monitoring room. With the restoration of power supply, the place also restored its functions. The three walls were cut into hundreds of small squares by the projector. Through gesture control, the picture of any camera could be extracted to the center of the room for three-dimensional observation. , Xiao Liping reached out and pulled down the movable keyboard from the roof, typed a string of letters and pressed the OK key. Twenty-four new pictures were called up, "This is the camera picture on the first floor of Pan Shen Wine Cellar and on the ground. It is through quantum The network connection is safe until the camouflage wall is breached," Lao Xiao said, pointing to the progress bar on the screen.
Gu Tie reached out and grabbed it, and a picture was enlarged. The camera in a hidden position showed the scene of the first layer of the bunker. It was seen that the area had been completely destroyed by the flames. The walls and ground were melted by the high heat, and the metal turned into liquid and flowed into the floor. The large hole in the rock condensed into a pool of silvery water. "Holy crap," Gu Tie shouted, "Did the Sons of God from the Brotherhood do it? How can humans create such a high temperature?"
"The photosensitive element and solid-state flash memory of the camera system can automatically record the impact within an hour. You can try to play it back to see what happened," Secretary Xiao reminded.
Gu Tie slid his finger to the left, and time began to jump in the reverse direction. The scene did not change much. Suddenly, the picture blurred, and the flames began to grow in the opposite direction. The Chinese quickly slowed down the rewind speed and saw strange purple flames peeling off the floor and walls. , gathered in the air to form countless purple petals, and then gathered in the air to form a purple flower. The building returned to its original state. Although there were red flames burning, it was clear that not much damage was caused. The purple flame was the culprit.
"Strange color," Xiao Liping muttered, "Sulfur will produce a blue-purple flame when burned in the air, but the temperature will not exceed 800 degrees, and it is impossible to melt metal. Could it be a compound containing potassium ions?"
"No," Gu Tie suddenly cried out in a dreamy voice, "No, it's not a chemical substance, it's not the flame of this world at all..."
Not long after entering the "world", Gu Tie used Yona's body to witness the blooming of the halo mandala. Purple fireworks bloomed in the cherry-colored night sky. The cold and gorgeous color was unforgettable. "This, how is this possible? Isn't this the unique spell of the fallen dark fire magician Jeffta?... It should be said, why can even the magic in the game appear in the real world?" The strong shock made him unable to do anything for a while. He moved and watched the moon halo mandala on the screen shrink in reverse and disappear into the air. A man's blurry figure stood in the flames. The camera failed to illuminate the man's face. The screen suddenly became dark. The recording time was over. Xiao Liping turned around. Overdoing it: "What do you mean, is this the power of the Son of God?"
"No, Lao Xiao, this is magic in the 'world'. I have seen it with my own eyes once," Gu Tie shook his head slowly and couldn't help but touch the small scar on the back of his neck, where the biochip was implanted.
Lao Xiao stared at him until he was sure that Gu Tie was not joking, "If you are right...it seems that we have revealed a secret, Gu Tie, the biochip in the body of the ghost member can convert the in-game The ability is brought to the real world, allowing people to gain magical power."
"Temporarily obtained," Gu Tie corrected his partner. He dragged the screen back and pointed to a corner: "Look, this person is the one who cast magic. He was crawling on the ground and then swallowed by the flames, but here He had died before, and the black mark was the plasma spurted out of his body. Something happened inside this guy's body, so that his internal organs were shattered, and his ears, nose and throat were bleeding violently. I guess the magic power was not lent in vain. His, the price must be his life... This man seems a bit familiar,"
Xiao Liping said seriously: "The information has been saved and should be analyzed in detail in the future. Now let's search for Aziwei's whereabouts first. I will enter some characteristics for the surveillance system to automatically search. As long as she does not leave the base, she will be safe for the time being. "
Gu Tie patted his cheek to concentrate more, watched Lao Xiao typing, and suddenly said: "I know,"
"What do you know?" Xiao Liping did not look back.
"You have been using words like 'temporarily', 'short time', and 'until' since just now. As an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient who pursues accuracy, I have never seen you use such imprecise words in a conversation," Gu Tieju He raised his fingers and said, "There is only one truth. You are waiting for a certain moment to come. You just need to delay the time, so 'temporarily' is accurate enough. If you guessed correctly, that time is the countdown that the 'betrayer' has been calculating." day, and it is very close, so close that it can be measured in minutes,”
"...Why do you think so," Xiao Liping said calmly.
"I guess your mission is to keep me here on the second floor of Pan Shen's wine cellar before the time comes." Gu Tie spread his arms, "Let me guess again, the final time was calculated not long ago, you As soon as he got the result, he rushed from China non-stop, found me in Africa, and brought me to this place. And my appearance in Batangafo was no accident. It was Matilil who arranged everything. The resistance war was just a Under the guise, he just wanted me to appear spontaneously in Central Africa and near Pan Shen Wine Cellars,"
Xiao Liping said calmly: "Is that so?"
"It's not over yet, let me continue my guess," Gu Tie showed a half-smiling expression: "I will appear in Central Africa at the right moment because I was knocked down while trying to save people on the ocean-going tuna ship 'Old Man of the Sea'. Although I was rescued in the sea, my brain was hit and fell into a coma. If not for this, I am afraid that I would still be leisurely hanging big tuna on the boat and chatting with those Japanese uncles all day long. Looking back, even if I My body was weak at that time, so how could I be knocked unconscious by a big fish? I should have taken self-protection measures if I fell into the water. It was not a flash flood. There were no wood or stones that could knock people unconscious. Know my identity. The person who saved me, the person who brought me to Africa, the person who has always been by my side... the woman who disappeared after arriving at her destination..."
Xiao Liping said: "Haha, then Aziwei is also our accomplice,"
Gu Tie shook his head: "No, in a sense, your purpose is the same, but you are not familiar with each other. It should be said that the instructions you received were not the same. There was a conflict and contradiction between you. , we are suspicious of each other, but since we are also escorting me to the destination, we have not broken our skin for the time being,"
"You're crazy, brother," Xiao Liping suddenly said with a serious face: "Everything I did was to save you. Do you know how many people outside want to cut you into pieces? If I had known this, I shouldn't have Open this secret base to you,"
"I know conspiracy theories are your specialty," Gu Tie leaned against the wall, showing a vague smile: "But let me speak this time, Lao Xiao, everyone has a habitual little move when they lie, you Do you know what your moves are?"
Xiao Liping said coldly: "I didn't,"
At this time, Gu Tie suddenly turned around quickly and jumped out of Room 2, kicked the door hard and slammed it shut. He rushed out of Area 22 in two steps. His running steps suddenly stopped, and an orange-red net appeared in front of him. The entire passage was cut off, and the burning smell in the air proved that it was an insurmountable network composed of high-energy particle beams.
"Don't run around, I won't attack you, brother," Xiao Liping walked slowly out of Area 22, pushing up his gold-rimmed glasses.
"That's the action, brother," Gu Tie said with a sad smile,
