Chapter 111: The Ups and Downs of Fate
People are really emotional creatures. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoSame people, same hunger, with hope, the atmosphere in the team is completely different from when there is despair.
Although the two of them were still a little restrained when they saw me, they were able to communicate normally without dodging their eyes.
People are strange creatures.
The key to our escape lies in the accumulation of garbage. This detail is so clear at a glance, so easy to find, and therefore ignored by everyone, that the key to escape is in front of you, but it traps the three most elite special forces of our defense forces.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago, what happened to me, it was so strange from just now! I've heard that stupidity is contagious, so I guess it's from you that you contracted this incurable disease! ”
Full of domineering, mean words, and contempt for men. Yukiyo has reverted to the original character of the eldest sister.
It's just that the feeling she gives me is no longer the same.
Talk to her every time, or approach her. Her pitiful appearance, like a lamb to the slaughter, and her posture of letting people flesh her, will make me think of it. It's not that she's avoiding me now, it's that I can avoid her.
Wood reverted to being the tataku who didn't talk and thought about the worst.
But thanks to him, our escape plan was carried out smoothly.
The dump is not empty.
That's what we've been ignoring. If you notice it, the answer is as simple as that.
Although there is not one, the number of pipelines is limited. According to the pattern seen on the surface, there should be a large amount of garbage piled up below the entrance of the pipeline, and over time it should be the culmination of the pipeline, forming a huge mountain of garbage.
In fact, not only are there no mountains of garbage, but there are also no tall and large garbage from the other side. In this garbage dump, everything is not necessarily neat, but it is also visited in various locations in an evenly tiled manner.
From the garbage dump, the placement of garbage can be seen that in fact, there are robots here.
So the question is, where are they? Why haven't we been here for so long and haven't been able to meet one?
Soon Wood, an expert in electronic warfare, gave the answer. He used the microwave scanning function of the tactical radar to easily spot the cleaning robot in standby with a weak discharge.
It's just that when there are living creatures in the garbage dump, these robots that are responsible for sorting out the garbage hide it. They will wait until all or other objects are inactive before appearing to clean up new trash at a slow pace.
In the darkness, it was extremely difficult to find a cleaning robot that barely sent signals to the outside world, but fortunately Wood was there. It only took him ten minutes to find five cleaning robots around us.
Perhaps God saw that we had suffered too much and did not put too many obstacles in our way to further action. When invading the cleaning robots, Wood made a shocking discovery that the core of these single-function cleaning devices was not equipped with firewall devices, whether hardware or software.
In a cautious manner, Wood spent a full hour inside the robots before realizing that he didn't need to be so nervous. Without the protection of firewalls, it would take less than a few seconds to hack these robots.
What can be done below is even simpler, with the help of the first hacked robot, relying on the working network of all the robots in the garbage dump, Wood did not have to work too hard to invade the entire system.
With the intelligence of these "locals" who have been working in the garbage dump all year round, our team has a more intuitive understanding of the garbage dump, the irregular shape, which is roughly a diamond shape, and the area of the garbage dump is more than 200 square kilometers. Among them, there are 195 cleaning robots, and there is one robot in one square kilometer. And that's not all, these robots are recharged to maintain their mobility, and unless they are simply scrapped, repairs will need to be carried out by dispatching repair robots from the transmission pipeline.
Further exploration also revealed that the robots were able to call for maintenance and charging from the outside world through a special communication device located next to the pipe outlet. In other words, with a simple command, we can ask the outside world to send a maintenance robot into the pipeline. Once the negative pressure inside the pipe is closed, it is our freedom to go wherever we want.
Trapped for too long, we were tired and hungry and couldn't hold on for too long. Putting aside unnecessary caution, a rough escape plan was made in less than 5 minutes.
Through the work network, we called 4 more cleaning robots within 5 km of the property. These tattered truck-shaped robots with robotic arms are definitely good at handling garbage. They are extremely powerful and capable of moving and transporting large pieces of waste of all shapes. In less than half an hour, a garbage staircase was built that led directly to the entrance of the pipeline. Through the garbage staircase with a gentle ascent, we walked up to the exit of the 30-metre-high conveyor pipe.
Wood's cleaning robot in control outputs to the maintenance network a request for an emergency replacement of a loaded component that has failed and needs to be replaced urgently.
The three of us had been waiting on the steps for a long time, listening to our stomachs rumbling and waiting for the negative pressure on the pipes to disappear.
Waiting is a tiring thing, not to mention the sudden change in mood from despair to hope, including me, the three of them are a little impatient.
With the slight vibration of the pipe, the huge negative pressure that had been maintained disappeared.
Wood was impatient to rush into the pipe, but I grabbed him.
I saw a fleeting look of panic on his face, and then his expression returned to normal.
"Beware of maintenance robots, just because the robots here don't have firewalls, it doesn't mean they don't have them. Be careful not to fall in the first moment of victory. ”
Wood nodded, accepting my advice, but from his reluctant look, he was unimpressed by my reminder.
In order to prevent him from being too impulsive, I deliberately squeezed in to make myself closer to the pipeline.
The look of dissatisfaction on his face was evident. Eventually, Wood endured and let me squeeze in front of him.
The eldest sister didn't favor anyone in this process, but let the two of you men do it, and I have a clean and self-righteous attitude.
From the performance of the two of them, I realized that the team order established in times of crisis is gradually disintegrating because of the resolution of the crisis. Human beings are really amazing creatures, and in terms of memory, they are inferior to many low-level single-celled organisms.
There was a screech of air in the pipe, caused by the high-speed movement of an object. I don't need to remind you now, everyone knows what to do.
We hurriedly had a cleaning robot block the exit of the pipe, while the three of us hid inside the cleaning robot's huge cargo bed.
Wood is even more prepared, once the incoming thing is close to the range of microwave intrusion, he will enter the Trojan control program at the first time, and strive to control the mechanical unit with outside authority at the first time.
The screaming suddenly stopped, and while crouching in the cargo hopper, you could also feel the wind pressure generated when the huge object came to an emergency stop.
Wood glanced at the tactical terminal, his face fused, and then buried himself in controlling the terminal. On the projection screen of the terminal, dense data transformation, all kinds of complex symbols appear and disappear in the interaction, and when everything is calm, the final display on the pitch-black screen is only the code that represents the error message feedback.
"What's going on? Is it impossible to invade? ”
I couldn't help but ask.
Wood's face turned a little blue, and after a while, he replied, "It's not a maintenance robot, it's a security robot with a powerful tactical firewall." ”
Yukiyo and I looked at each other.
Is it exposed?
If we were exposed before we could escape the dump, we would not be able to fight against the heavily armed Wolf Security Mechanists, and even their extremely difficult field infantry, with the combat strength of the three of us.
The hope that had just risen was easily smashed into the deeper abyss of despair by the cruel reality.
I don't have the consciousness to continue to fight against fate, so I think that's it, let the security mechanics kill us. Death is the real one, and I don't want to endure the abominable fate of the old witch anymore.
