Chapter 67: The Rubik's Cube
"Don't you think a 'secret experimental base' would be more of a curiosity to the Enclave? Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Do you think, if we destroy everything when we retreat, then at most we will ensure that our research results will not be stolen by the enemy, but in fact, how many technological crystals do we have that are worthy of their plagiarism?"
"And if we hold our ground and wait until they've completely taken over New Vegas, or even stabilized, and then discover this place. How many 'important figures' should such an experimental base attract the attention of such an experimental base! At that time, the timing is right, boom-"
Mr. Yes used this onomatopoeia visually, and Ling Qi seemed to see a large group of Enclave officers and elite scientists being blown into the sky.
"Of course, our remote-controlled self-detonation devices, or even timed self-destruct bombs, may not work in time, after all, their technology is much more advanced than ours. But we have one of the biggest killer features that they certainly don't have—the Nightmare!"
"It's like you've given the order to let Zero release the nightmare at the last moment, and I agree with that. But, by the same token, if you can leave a loophole for it to escape on its own after the Enclave takes over here..."
"Actually, I've always thought that the Enclave's behavior of blowing up the fuel mineral mining site back then was stupid, and if I had been replaced, I would definitely have planted a few self-detonating strategic nuclear bombs in the depths of the mine!
Ling Qi listened and nodded again and again, Mr. Hao's words were simply deep in his heart.
This is called making the best use of things, and today's good Mr. Hao makes him feel like the back waves of the Yangtze River are pushing the front waves. In order to prevent being slapped on the beach by the back waves, Ling Qi decided to hide his vigilance with silence.
Seeing Ling Qi's face of approval, Mr. Hao couldn't help but say proudly:
"Those were just my previous assumptions, and when the Enclave withdrew, I suddenly thought again, why do we have to destroy all the underground experimental bases?"
His words made Ling Qi slightly stunned, and he subconsciously said:
"Of course, for the sake of secrecy, are you sure that such a large underground space can be hidden from the investigation from the ground?"
The Enclave's special methods are not mentioned for the time being, but the most advanced ground-based detection radar in the wasteland is currently recognized, which can detect hundreds of meters deep into the surface. Therefore, it is simply not going to work hard by fighting in tunnels or digging a hole under the enemy's lair to get cheap.
If the forces to be faced can't get that level of scanning equipment, it means that there is no need for them to engage in those methods. And if it is necessary to rely on the trail to win, it means that the technical strength is completely at a disadvantage.
"Hey~ Of course it's not okay to hide it completely, but the void in the ground, can't it be innate?"
"To camouflage a large area and disable the detection equipment, we will definitely not be able to do it with our current resources and strength. ”
"But just change the overall shape of the space a little, modify the corners slightly, and then camouflage the entrance as well..."
Mr. Yes guided him little by little, and Ling Qi pursed his lips.
"The Enclave is not stupid, he wouldn't send some small mechanical detection equipment to investigate it?House's underground factory is only a few dozen meters below, and this depth is almost flat for some special mechanical units. In half a day, they can be anywhere they want to go!"
It's not that Ling Qi hasn't thought about building a secret stronghold underground, but at a depth of 100 meters from the surface, it really can't be said to be hidden.
And if you want to go deeper to develop and use the underground space, the technical resources that need to be invested are not the source of his energy consumption.
In fact, with the current top-notch scientific and technological strength, unless you can dig through the earth's crust, turn over the magma, and carve out a space in the mantle layer, can you say that you have an absolutely safe fortress, and is that possible? That is not the concept of hundreds of meters underground, but tens of thousands of meters!
Mr. Hao smiled, as if he understood Ling Qi's thoughts.
"Have you forgotten the nightmare?"
Ling Qi frowned, it was the big killing weapon in his hand, but it was also the most unstable killing weapon.
"Anyway, don't sell it!"
Ling Qi showed some impatience at the right time, only to see that Mr. Hao couldn't help but stretch out his "eyes" and "hands", it seems that after the humanization became more and more obvious, he also had some ADHD tendencies.
"Ling Qi, just talking may not be enough to be vivid, you look at the front. ”
Ling Qi raised his eyes and saw that it was the direction of the screen.
On the huge screen four or five meters long, a three-dimensional structure with green lines like a Rubik's cube suddenly appeared in the black background.
The picture on the screen was immediately divided into two parts, the left side was still the same monotonous line drawing, and dozens of windows appeared on the right, neatly arranged, crowding the entire screen.
Most of the scenes in those windows were monotonous black and gray, like dimly lit rooms. Less than a tenth of them are bright, and half are still empty. Ling Qi quickly found some familiar figures, in addition to the mechanical warrior cleaning the blood stain in one window, there were also two windows playing the life records of his two "teammates" and one of their companions.
"There must be more than that in the secret room below. ”
Ling Qi asked lightly, as if he understood what Mr. Hao meant.
Sure enough, as soon as he had finished asking, Mr. Yes motioned for him to step back a little further, until he stood at the edge of the room, and Mr. Yes said:
"Alright, look!"
A pillar of green light was projected from the surface of the PP boy screen to the big screen in front of it, and then the already dim light in the room disappeared completely, and the shimmer on the PP boy's screen also dimmed, and the silent big screen "buzzed" and trembled, this screen with no holographic projection function at all, was born in a range of about four meters in front of it, projecting a completely three-dimensional image!
The stereoscopic image is still divided into two parts, the left half is suspended with a three-dimensional cube with a green line structure, and there are many small numbers and symbols that Ling Qi can't understand around, which should be some kind of marking.
On the right, dozens of live broadcasts are all stretched into 3D mode, but they only form a flat square cylinder, and then more black squares appear on the bottom section of the cylinder, gradually accumulating, forming a cube with a similar structure to the left!
"This, don't tell me about the secret rooms below, the three-dimensional structure after scaling will be like this?"
Ling Qi asked lightly, obviously a little unconvinced.
Although he had only been to the depths of the earth twice, the first time was at the end of the day, and he could probably guess the general shape of the place, which was definitely not so regular!
"Not yet, of course, but it's not much worse!
Mr. Yes replied, and the stereoscopic image of the right half has undergone a new change, and some corners of the regular cube have begun to protrude, and the whole has a tendency to expand and collapse!
But in the end, it didn't really crumble, but turned into a bloated, fusiform "cube"!
"You see, just like this, like this, and like this, it becomes like this!"
Mr. Yes waved his tentacles and demonstrated.
Ling Qi looked at the changes in the projection and found that this seemingly irregular fusiform really only needed some minor changes to form the cube he had seen earlier.
"Could it be that you calculated this from the very beginning?"
Ling Qi asked lightly, saying that if he was not shocked, it was fake.
"How is that possible?!You didn't ask for that at first!"
Mr. Yes shouted dissatisfiedly:
"Everything in nature has a law, such as the underground space, not all of which are dug out by mechanical scorpions, most of them are formed after the underground cracks are penetrated, and the widening part is also selected for excavation in the softer soil. ”
"As for the mechanical structure and connections inside the various secret rooms, I did it intentionally, but not for the present, just to make them more in line with the aesthetics of mechanics!"
As he spoke, Mr. Good's tone became triumphant again.
Ling Qi decided not to dwell on this aspect anymore, no matter how amazing Mr. Yes and Zero were, from the current point of view, they were still firmly on their side.
"So, then, even if you get it so neat, even if you make something like that underground. However, as long as it is still there, there is no escape from being discovered by the Enclave!"
This is the key! Its shape doesn't matter, it's square, round, long, flat, and whoever has a hole in the ground will try their best to find out.
"So, here's the key—"
Mr. Yes sighed, and the projections on the left and right sides began to change at the same time.
Some corners of the Rubik's Cube with a line structure suddenly began to disappear, and as those lines disappeared, the characters annotated on the side also jumped, some increasing, some decreasing.
Ling Qi couldn't understand it either, so he simply paid all his attention to the physical projection on the right.
Only then did he realize that it was not the space that had disappeared, but the surface of some secret rooms and tunnels that had changed in terms of materials, and he was helpless to find that this was also puzzling to him.
It didn't take long for the projection on the right to stop changing, and the overall shape was still cubes, but the mechanical structures between the small squares and some of the interrelated effects became more complex.
And the line cube on the left has been transformed into an ordinary steamed bun-shaped underground cave!
"You see, the left side is what they can see through the radar scans at that time, and it's not surprising that there is an extra cave like this underground. ”
Mr. Hao said smugly, but Ling Qi shook his head.
"But he'll still probe deeply!"
"yes, so I'm not going to use it!"
I saw that Mr. Yes's tentacles pointed directly at the cell in the center of the bottom of the projection cube on the right, and the picture zoomed in accordingly, and Ling Qi found that it was his uncontrollable killing weapon locked inside!
"Ho ho ho! Look, my greatest invention of this century has appeared! This is called the Absolute Defensive Barrier!"
With Mr. Yes's exaggerated laughter, I saw that the cube changed again, and the largest and most special cube representing the "Nightmare" cell suddenly protruded from the bottom of the cube, elongated into a flat shape, and directly occupied one side.
The glass cover that had been holding it in the picture was then opened, and...
Nothing happened!
"Ahem, it's just a real-time simulation, and it's actually the same as you saw it at the beginning. ”
Yes Mr. seems to be a little unhappy with this anticlimactic demonstration.
"How can you make sure you can control it!"
Ling Qi asked lightly, it is easy to catch a tiger.
"It doesn't matter, in my plan, all the 'cages' outside it will be replaced with that kind of high-hardness tempered glass material, and its own strength is not strong enough to break through the cage and escape. ”
Yes Mr. replied without thinking. For him, there is nothing to be afraid of if he can be restricted, and no matter how magical he is, he can't escape the fate of being used.
"How..."
"You're trying to take advantage of those phantom ?!!"
Ling Qi suddenly woke up, but instinctively felt that something was wrong, but something even bigger called ambition was swelling faster than vigilance!
