Chapter Ninety-Six: The Unlucky Pumas
After entering the interior of the Earth's atmosphere, it seems that Pumas has escaped from pursuit, but in fact it is still in very bad condition.
Because the black poison needle injected into Pumas's body by the mechanical poisonous bee has already begun to work, the toxin on it is concocted by the sound waves himself, and it is specially aimed at the powerful rust poison of the mechanical intelligent life form.
Therefore, Pumas had lost most of its self-consciousness when it landed, and could only rely on inertia to turn into a burning meteorite and slam into the ground, but fortunately, before the impact, it adjusted as much as possible to hit the ground at a small angle.
As a result, at the time of the impact, the geographical location where Pumas landed was quite special, on the surface was a layer of rock crust tens of meters thick, but there was an underground lake below.
It slammed diagonally, broke the layer of rock crust above, flew more than ten kilometers inside the underground space, and then plunged headlong into the underground lake, and even plowed a deep trench several kilometers long at the bottom of the underground lake.
In the end, Pumas stopped with his head at a 30-degree angle to the bottom of the lake and his tail tilted up.
This is the cause of the "turtle's back" shaped uplift that Fang Linyan saw at the bottom of the lake, which was completely lifted up by Pumas when it landed.
The location where Pumas slanted through the surface crust was more than a dozen kilometers away from the underground lake, and a small landslide occurred at that time, blocking the hole where it had crashed, so that even if people on the ground saw the meteorite coming, they would not find anything.
Sonic was quite confident in the rusty poison he had concocted, and after determining that Pumas had been hit by multiple black poison needles, he thought that this guy would definitely die, so he didn't pursue it.
Indeed, Pumas has been in a coma at the bottom of the lake ever since, but after successfully landing, it has entrusted everything to the artificial intelligence inside the ship: the light wheel.
Halo has been trying to save Pumas, but the means are scarce.
Mainly because the rust poison on the black poison needle is quite vicious.
Artificial Intelligence: The maintenance robot made by the light wheel is ------ kind of mechanical spider that dies quickly almost as soon as it gets close.
Because it is difficult to replenish its own energy, the light wheel cannot be infinitely manufactured to repair robots to fight the poison of rust.
At the same time, the poison of rust is still eroding the vitality of Pumas all the time, making it continue to dissipate.
It was also thanks to the fact that Pumas had been able to contact the fragments of the steel fire source for a long time before, so his vitality was extremely tenacious, and he could survive under the poison of this rust, which took so many years.
And the dissipated vitality of Pumas is a very special mechanical life energy, which is equivalent to a disguised radiation power.
Under the radiation of this energy perseverance and years, this artificial intelligence: the light wheel is also constantly evolving, and it should be regarded as a semi-mechanical intelligent creature at this time.
Not only that, but also the native creatures in the underground lake, which have also begun to evolve into semi-metallic organisms.
The first thing that is affected is that snails, crabs, and turtles, which can absorb calcium and create protective shells on their own, only need to evolve the ability to absorb calcium to make protective shells, making them the ability to absorb metal to make metal shells.
Because the life force exuded by Pumas has a fatal allure to these creatures, most of these creatures will linger around the spaceship, invisibly protecting the ship's ruins.
However, there are some small mutated half-metal creatures that will still be swept into underground rivers while hunting and wandering, and then washed out with the current.
In the late 80s and early 90s of the last century, a metal-shelled snail swimming out of the underground lake was already captured by the outside world.
In just two years, this semi-metallic creature with a metal shell began to be discovered one after another, and there were more than a dozen of them circulating in the outside world, but they were all metal snails.
In this case, the half-metal creature finally attracted the attention of one of the big names in the Blood Umbrella Company at that time.
This man's name is Williams, he was originally a researcher, and he was also mediocre in research, but he had a very outstanding achievement in politics, and he quickly rose to become one of the five directors of the Blood Umbrella Company.
However, he was ambitious, but he was not willing to stop there.
At this time, the blood umbrella company was divided into two major factions: human research and mixed gene research.
Williams wants to improve his right to speak, from a normal point of view, he can only stand in line and choose one of the departments, and then dig into the corner to buy the directors of major laboratories, the heads of branches, and so on.
And these powerful figures have long been included in the rest of the big directors at this time, and Williams will inevitably offend people if he wants to dig into the wall.
In this case, Williams chose to take a different path and start anew, opening up a new third faction within the Blood Umbrella Company: Biomech!
Williams mobilized a large amount of money and began to concentrate on the study of the captured semi-metallic creatures.
It was also his luck that he successfully caught a crab with a metal shell at this critical time, and suddenly made a breakthrough in biomechanical technology.
Williams is mediocre in his research, but he's a genius in politics and marketing, the kind of strongman who can sell plain water as a high-end nutritional product and fool crowds of people crying and shouting to buy it.
What's more, at this time, he really came up with epoch-making results in his hands?
As a result, Williams immediately strengthened his wings, grabbed a lot of resources, and attracted an astonishing amount of money and venture capitalists to enter the game.
After obtaining sufficient resources, Williams immediately conducted a comprehensive investigation of the place, and then spent a lot of manpower and material resources to secretly start building Veronica Laboratory, relying on the development of the so-called underwater ruins to achieve great success.
As a result, the faction of biomechanics was also born, because they had ready-made mutated biological samples to study, so they took many detours, and soon began to squeeze the other two factions out of breath.
It's just that even the top level of the Blood Umbrella Company at that time, including Williams, didn't know that the underwater ruins they studied were actually a living mechanical intelligent life, but it was in a state of suspended animation.
Of course, if they knew, it would have gotten even crazier.
The next thing, there should be no need to say more, the blood umbrella company has split,
It's just that Williams had been planning for a rainy day, and when he established Veronica's Laboratory, he built a full eleven addresses in the Three Caves of Cunning, eight of which were under the guise of covering this real core laboratory.
For Fang Linyan, it was difficult for him to suppress his excitement at this time.
Because he has obtained a shocking secret from the remaining memories of Pumas.
That's where that little piece of steel shards are located!
When Phimas went to steal the energy block, he didn't carry it with him.
At that time, Sonic had placed a large piece of steel fire fragment in the base, and if Pumas had taken the fragment with him, the two would have been one, and once they were combined, they would magically merge into one like two drops of water.
Not only that, even if two pieces are close to a certain range, it is very likely to resonate.
Given the nature of the steel shards, Pumas didn't dare to wander around with it, instead using some of the materials found in the abandoned dump to make a shielding box.
Usually put the fragment of the steel fire source next to him in the shielding box, and the shielding box was buried in a pit he usually dug.
When Pumas was caught stealing energy blocks, it was equivalent to inviting Jun into the urn and falling into the ambush circle himself, and he had done his best to rush out of it, of course, he didn't have the time to go back and get the steel fire fragments.
In other words, how it was put there at the time should still be in place now.
It is located next to a mountain range on the far side of the Moon, which will never be observed from Earth!!
And this piece of steel fire source fragment, Fang Linyan felt that he couldn't even evaluate its rarity, he had heard one thing when he was chatting with goats before, every world hides one or several ultimate secrets.
This ultimate secret is unique, and once discovered and obtained, it will disappear forever.
Of course, it must be incredibly difficult to obtain this ultimate secret, and you will die for a lifetime!
At that time, Fang Linyan jokingly said that I don't know how many people have been included in Noah's space, and those who are selected must be elites, if everyone becomes the chosen one and competes fairly, then there is something to say.
But since you know about it, the rest of the people must know about it too.
Others enter the space for a few years or more than ten years, and wait until they are strong enough to come back and discover this ultimate secret, how can they keep it?
The goat told Fang Linyan that there were conditions for wanting to obtain the ultimate secret, and it was very demanding, such as personal attributes could not be higher than much, and for example, he must be a trialist or a contractor, and if he was higher, he would be directly disqualified.
This is similar to the achievement of "accompanying ten different female classmates home from school before the age of 14" and "achieving 100 people in high school", etc., which can only be completed at a certain stage.
It will definitely keep the difficulty of obtaining the ultimate secret constant in extremely difficult conditions.
After calming down for a while, Fang Linyan began to put away his thoughts, and then continued to patiently search for the structure diagram of the activated mechanical heart in front of him,
