Chapter 11: The Pursuit of Destiny
Using solar panels as a roof for a car is really a helpless move.
The color of solar panels is too dark, and the surface is often smooth, which is a priori at the frequency of visible light. And in the sun, it also heats up faster than the average ground.
In short, under satellite surveillance, this kind of car is too conspicuous.
It's all because chivalry needs energy.
There is no stable supply line for knights. They can only rely on the supplies they carry with them, as well as the power of the sun.
So the knight's vehicle had to be made in this style.
And only a knight would do that. The government army can rely on the air force to airdrop energy and establish a complete transportation line.
And inside those super buildings, there are privately owned fusion reactors.
They are not short of energy. All vehicles are stacked according to the "Maximize Combat Performance" panel.
The Knight, on the other hand, had to sacrifice some of the vehicle's performance [including concealment and aerodynamic shape] to stick to such a roof.
"It's almost buried in the sand, and I don't know how long it has stopped." Jadel wiped his goggles.
Although prosthetic people do not need to worry about the prosthetic eye being injured by the wind and sand and eventually blinding, the high-precision prosthetic eye is a very valuable thing, and it is important to keep its surface smooth. Those who are particular about it will put a protective film on their prosthetic eyes. In this kind of windy and sandy weather, you will also wear goggles honestly.
He turned around the mountain, and then put his arm on the mountain of carriages: "It's quiet inside, there is almost no shaking." It's also possible that the soundproofing layer is doing a good job. β
Jadel listened, but instead went around to the back of the vehicle to clean up the fool.
Sure enough, he found the door to the vehicle.
The original Wenren also came down at this time. Yuki wanted to get closer, but the sand scraped against his face, stinging his organic skin. He called out and stepped back.
The original hearr approached Jadel. Instead, Jadel gestured for him to step back.
At the same time, the single kill king also pulled out the pistol on his waist, knocked on the cabin door, and shouted: "Fellow inside, I am the king of the instant explosion of the Arctic Red Stone Gate, and I am also a person in the rivers and lakes." If you need anything, open your mouth. β
No response.
Although Jadel was almost certain that there should be no one in there, he waved his hand behind him and motioned for the other two to step back.
Then, reach for that gate.
Jadel was careful to keep his biological brain within the reach of the hatch at all times.
You have to be careful here. This vehicle is supposed to be a knight's, but it is not ruled out that someone has turned him into a trap with a "bomb that explodes when you open the door" or something.
Or, there is a chivalrous man who is still alive, with a vague will, who did not hear the conversation just now, but noticed that the hatch was open, so he used his remaining will to drive the weapon to attack.
Etcetera.
All of these scenarios are possible.
In the stories of the rivers and lakes that the old rivers and lakes gave to their apprentices, there are similar things.
But it stands to reason that Jadel has to come and open this buddy again.
For one, there may be the resources they need in the car.
Second, there may be a life left in the car.
The door was unlocked, and it opened with a strong pull.
Xiang Shan waited for a few seconds, but found that there was no movement, so he slowly approached from the other side.
Due to the sandstorm, his vision was very blocked, and he could hardly see the contents of the carriage. The velocity of a bullet is greater than the speed of sound, so it is impossible to dodge a bullet by sound. This is already a dangerous move.
Jadel dodged out from behind the car door and stood in front of Xiang Shan.
Then he said, "There's really no one inside." β
Xiang Shan, Jadel, and Yuan Wenren got into the car and found that there was no one in the car. Only a small number of instruments are still making the sound of running. The original hearer hurriedly closed the gate to block the sandstorm.
Xiang Shan walked towards what looked like a host computer and connected his own data interface to it.
Yuan Wendao: "Senior, be careful of Gu." β
"It doesn't matter. My internal skills are okay. Waiting for idle Gu poison can't hurt me. Xiang Shan shook his head. There is indeed a Gu inside, but it is not vicious. Xiang Shan used a virtual machine to isolate it and quickly decompiled, and found that this Gu could only leave a hidden backdoor, and there was no substantial harm other than that.
I think this is also due to the fact that "if there are civilians or fellow citizens who have access to the resources here". This reduces the probability of accidental injury.
A back door, if not touched, will not be substantially harmful.
But if it was the official eagle dog infected with this Gu, the situation would be different.
Aside from this Gu, there was only one map in this computer.
Xiang Shan quickly checked, and then said, "The battery is 100% full." β
"100 percent?" Yuki's strange screams were heard in the midst of the communication.
The "donkey" also has equipment for transmitting signals at medium and short distances. Although sandstorms can cause serious disturbances, the donkey is now only a few meters away from the vehicle.
At this distance, interference is nothing.
Xiang Shan nodded: "The battery is completely full, is there any problem?" β
"The vehicle's battery is full, but its owner has abandoned it, Master!" Yuki exclaimed, "That doesn't make sense! β
For a moment, he remembered the mayor's wild horror stories that scared children.
For example, the pervasive green forest can unknowingly abduct people in vehicles, and so on.
"Huh?" Xiang Shan patted his forehead: "Have you ever seen the green forest?" Have I taken you to fight the Green Forest? β
"There is ......"
"Do you think there is anyone in the green forest I slaughtered who can do that kind of thing?" Xiang Shan shook his head. It seems that this kind of horror story is indeed human nature. The "aschemators" have used a number of decisive means to remove all religious and superstitious elements from the culture, and today's children do not know what a ghost is. But I didn't expect that "ghost stories" could be revived in this form.
It seems that this is also the "pre-installed" nature of the human brain......
Yuan Wenren smiled and said, "Little brother, this thing is actually normal. You have to take into account that this car has its own solar panels, and it has been here for a long time. Even if it ran out of power when it broke down, it could be fully charged now. β
Yuki woke up from a dream and said, "That's right......"
Xiang Shan continued: "It's just a pure map here, and there is nothing else like a driving record. β
This is also a very normal thing. Nowadays, no more than in the old days, every prosthetic person has a storage device in his body, and he can completely put it in the memory in his brain. This ensures that "no one else will have access to my data until I die". [Unless invaded by internal strength] The real secret, of course, is safer in one's own body.
And the driving records of the knights may reveal important information such as their strongholds and helpers.
There will never be a backup of the driving record in the vehicle.
Not to mention, knights are always ready to abandon vehicles.
Attracting fire with vehicles is also one of the optional tactics. No matter how precious this thing is, it can't compare to your own life.
The chances of the documents remaining in this system falling into the hands of the government are too high.
A map, which can be used as an aid to the automatic pathfinding software, is sufficient.
But......
"Since the electricity is full, it means that it has been here for a day before the sandstorm." Yuan Wenren spoke: "It has been four days since the outbreak in Sand City to our arrival in Songying City, and then here. It stopped at least five days ago. β
"For five days, the knight didn't come to recover this vehicle......"
When the original Wenren said this, he was slightly silent.
But everyone else understands what that means.
The knight is still using solar panels, which shows that the probability of having an isotope battery is not very high. And the general battery to support five days of activity is very reluctant.
Not to mention that when the knight was separated from the vehicle, he must have noticed that there was an official eagle dog. Even if the knight escapes, it will have to go through a battle.
Jadel's fingers ran across the surface of an instrument. There is a layer of floating dust.
It's been a few days, indeed.
"It's possible that after they abandoned their vehicles, they merged with other knights. It doesn't have to be dead, either. Jadel said, "Let's check the resources available in the car." β
The owner of the broken down vehicle is no longer likely to return. It doesn't matter if he's alive or dead.
The original rummager rummaged through it. There aren't many resources inside. Only a small number of explosives that are difficult to replenish, as well as ammunition, are worth carrying.
Xiang Shan took off the vehicle's fully charged battery.
He doesn't need any more vehicles for the time being. The three vehicles, together with the equipment inside, are basically more than enough to support the regular parts replacement. His three vehicles have a large number of spare batteries in case of this sandstorm.
At this time, if you want to bring this vehicle, you need to have three existing vehicles to balance out the spare batteries.
This is very uneconomical.
Xiang Shan carried the battery and said, "Cheer up, at least we are on the right path." According to the map, we were less than 200 kilometers away from the area where the old man had first fallen. β

Kan sat down in front of a large piece of metal wreckage. It's not about "resting". For prosthetic people, there is not much difference between "sitting" and "standing". It's just that he really needs a place where he can shelter a little from the wind and sand.
"It's not good if the joint gets into the sand." Kan L thought so.
Kan L is a ranger from Whitehorse City who holds the title of "Chasing Destiny".
"Rangers" are also called "commandos". The word seems to have existed in the old days. However, in modern times, it is a class created by the Agnini King to fight against the Jianghu people, aiming to hunt down all the threats in the rivers and lakes. Rangers often have to roam the land for long periods of time, looking for targets and assassinating them.
There are many good hands that are folded on these Rangers.
He knocked on the wreckage behind him and said, "Well, look in this direction again, if you can't do it, go back to the errandβtsk, too." At this time, how could there be a chivalrous man rushing over from the north. β
Before he could finish speaking, his brain could extract a bit of "movement" from the background sound of dust and storms.
