Chapter 2181: Exploring the Trail of Sha Lan (19)

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Aswan in Africa, in the artificial man-making workshop in the Shalan Gorge.

The Blade Monster's infiltration continues. Or maybe it's barely halfway through the infiltration, there are still plenty of enemies in the workshop that Palamides need to destroy, and the big cat has been instructed to capture alive the cyborg engineering authority hiding in the base, Dr. Virgil, without sounding the alarm.

He had to be extra careful, as if failure caused the base to sound the alarm, Dr. Virgil would escape through the hidden passage and never be caught again.

The Leopard Warrior in the Blade suit had just walked up the stairs to the second floor, and when he peeked around the corner of the stairs, he immediately saw three second-generation androids standing there, with two turrets above them.

The staircase was so tightly guarded that Palamides knew that it was impossible to break through such a level without sounding the alarm just by getting close to the body. But even with the silver* he carried, it would not be easy to shoot all the enemies here in one go.

The big cat retracted his head back to the corner of the staircase and thought for a moment.

Then he suddenly reached out from around the corner, aimed at the approximate position of the two turrets in his memory, and fired a barrage of bullets.

Whoosh whoosh

The Silver* has a fast rate of fire, which is one of its strengths but also one of its disadvantages. But at this time, thanks to its incredible rate of fire, Palamides easily destroyed two turrets, which was a good result.

A blind shot was followed by two turrets exploding at the same time. In fact, with the defense of these turrets, only one or two bullets were enough to destroy them, and Palamides wasted about half a *, or about fifty rounds, after this wave of blind fire.

However, because the Silver* is such a powerful silencer weapon, the sound of its firing was not even heard by the androids, but the sound of the explosions of the two turrets behind the guards caught their attention. Those second-generation androids themselves are not much different from machines, and the AI is relatively simple and even stupid, and when they hear the turrets exploding behind them, they stupidly turn around to check the status of those turrets. It was great that they could not have cooperated with Palamides' actions in this way, and the leopard warrior made a silent charge behind the androids, raising his bayonet and stabbing one of them to death. The other two humans had noticed that something was wrong with their companions, and they were just about to raise their weapons to defend themselves, but the big cat was still one step faster, and a bayonet chopped off the mechanical head of the other android, and then raised their guns to shoot, and it took five bullets to thin the chest of the other android. All three androids collapsed in less than five seconds, leaving only the Blade Monster with not a drop of oil on its body.

Thinking about it this way, the series of actions he had just made were actually quite handsome, and Palamides was a little stinky.

But of course he understands that since this is a checkpoint, there must be guards nearby who will come to pick him up. Sure enough, I heard the sound of the staircase checkpoint, and a team of android patrols rushed over to check on the situation. If this wave of enemies is not dealt with immediately, the alarm will inevitably be sounded at the base, so the situation is actually very critical. Without even thinking about raising the silver* in his hand, Palamides fired at the end of the corridor on the other side, and he ignored the accuracy of the strafing and charged as he went, just to avoid a fish slipping through the net in the downed enemy patrol.

After his rapid assault, the three androids in front of him had already fallen, just at the bottom of his feet. The Silverblade monster also rushed to the corner of the hallway, just in time to see an android fleeing backwards. The big cat raised his gun and fired in a burst of fire, but luckily hit the second generation android in both legs before the bullets in the magazine ran out, shattering the very bony legs made of its metal skeleton! Palamides rushed up with two bayonets, killing the android before it could do anything------ or rather stopping it!

In this way, it should be temporarily cleaned of nearby enemies, lest it cause more trouble, and the big cat dragged the corpses of several androids on the ground to the staircase, piling them all in a less conspicuous shadow.

He didn't hear the footsteps of the others, so there shouldn't be any more patrols approaching here for the time being. Should I go to Dr. Virgil next? The leopard warrior thought for a moment. This area doesn't have to be Dr. Virgil's haunted area, at best, it's just an area where Dr. Virgil might be haunted by the rebels' analysis of the entire base and guessing. If their guess is correct, there must be a room like a surveillance room somewhere on this floor, which is filled with a large number of electronic devices used to monitor the production process of the android factory. And Dr. Virgil must be in charge of observing everything in this monitoring room, in case the production line of the third-generation androids is messed up.

It's only morning, it's not even lunch time, and there's a high chance that Dr. Virgil will stay in the studio and monitor everything.

The question remains of how to find that surveillance room without alerting the guards. Palamides peered out from the corner of the stairwell, and across from him was a long, open hallway, extremely modern, with various tube-like devices all over the ceiling, and it was not known whether they were pipes for ventilation or for transporting something. Considering that the climate in Africa is so hot, it is even very likely that these tubes are used by central air conditioning in order to transport heat exchangers. There were a lot of wire-like things next to those pipes, and they were just exposed, and they didn't protect at all. It should be said that the only "protection" on these wires is the thick rubber skin that wraps around the wires, but they can be easily pierced by bullets.

Are the people who designed this base stupid, if these wires are broken, there will probably be an entire area of the facility that will have to lose power, right? What if an intruder (like Paramidis) comes in and destroys it?

But Palamides quickly understood that these heat pipes and wires were originally in pairs. This is because the android fabrication workshop requires a huge amount of electricity to allow the high-powered robotic arms to swing at frantic speeds, fitting the body parts of the third generation of androids together with unmistakable precision. Not only that, but 3D printing equipment is also quite power-intensive. They use a special biochemical material, which is slowly printed onto the skeleton of the android in a programmed order, forming more complex things such as nerves, blood vessels, and muscles, as well as tendons. Whether it is spraying biochemical materials or subsequently fixing these biochemical materials with electricity, the power consumed by the equipment is extremely large.

The wires on the ceiling in the corridor in front of you are the high-voltage cables used to transmit this huge amount of electricity. The amount of electricity flowing through these wires is so huge, and the amount of heat they generate when they transmit the power is of course extremely huge.

In other words, the pipes next to the cables are not at all the heat exchanger transmission pipes for the central air conditioning of the facility------ they themselves are the cooling pipes for these wires. They are close to each other with the wires to facilitate the absorption of excess heat from the cables, so that the cables do not overheat and burn out.

What if you give these cables a shot at this time......?

No, forget it. Palamides quickly dismissed the idea. In that case, the news of the cable damage would surely reach Virgil, who was monitoring the production line. Normally, cables protected by a heat exchange system would not be so easily damaged, and Dr. Virgil would have guessed that something was wrong in the workshop. Even if the alarm hasn't sounded yet, it is estimated that he will find a way to escape first. It would not be wise to scare Dr. Virgil before he met him.

Try following these cables, which will inevitably lead Palamides into the power room of the android fabrication workshop. The base consumes a lot of electricity, and it must be a common occurrence for generators to break down. If the entire power system fails and many of the equipment in the factory is not functioning properly, Dr. Virgil will have to find a way to troubleshoot the fault in the motor room------ maybe he will go to the power room to repair the system himself.

That was the perfect time to capture Dr. Virgil alive. It's not about startling the snake, it's about luring the snake out of the hole. Palamides thought it worked, and simply tried to carry it out. It wasn't difficult to follow the cables, because he knew they must have been running from the depths of the base, through the corridor in front of him, and then through the stairs, all the way to the workshop downstairs. There are only two directions, so it's strange to get it wrong!

But, of course, exactly as the leopard warriors had guessed, the power room in the depths of the workshop was indeed extremely heavily guarded. There are only four second-generation androids guarding the door of the power room, and they are all monsters with heavy photon gatlings, and there are four heavy photon turrets in the corners. If ordinary people want to break through this kind of place, it is estimated that they will be ejected into a hornet's nest by thousands or hundreds of lights within half a second.

Of course, it is possible for the leopard warrior to force his way through here, but it will definitely be a tough battle, and he must kill this large number of enemies in a short time to prevent them from sounding the alarm. And it is also unknown whether there will be more guards rushing out of the power room. It is simply impossible to solve all the internal and external security of the power room without sounding the alarm.

Beep. It was at this time that an extremely low-key tone sounded in Palamides' ears. It's Blade Monster's optical camouflage system that has cooled down and can be used again.

"Hmph. The big cat hiding in the shadows in the corner at the end of the hallway snorted. He had a bold idea.
