Chapter 199: Great Harvest!
These flat trolleys should be the products of the original underground laboratory, and the staff inside left them here directly after moving things. After all, these cars are not complicated to produce, and there is no need to take them all with you when you flee.
The discovery of flatbed carts meant that the expedition was able to carry more supplies.
Otherwise, the amount of materials that can be taken away by relying on a backpack to carry things is greatly reduced.
Liu Xuwei, who was seriously injured and had fallen into a coma, could also be pulled away directly with a flatbed truck, and there was no need to carry it on his back, freeing up a person's hands. That's pretty good. Lu Yiming took a deep breath and said.
"Zhong Peng, can you still walk, can you push one?"
"Yes, my lungs have recovered a bit. As long as you don't run too fast. Zhong Peng nodded and ate another compressed energy bar.
"What do you say about that computer that's still on?" Shi Dayong also took out a piece of compressed chocolate and chewed it, "You should have explored it." ”
Lu Yiming pondered for a while and said: "It should be a military computer, I probed it with my mind, the performance is not too high, the process of the chip may be micron-level, and the energy used inside is a bit strange, not like a battery in the traditional sense." I think it's probably a monster's heart core battery or some other technology. It's hard to say what happened to you, but you can only know when you bring it back carefully......"
"It's a sturdy thing." Li Yao sighed with emotion: "Decades have passed, and I am still working." ”
Theoretically, some military products of very good quality can indeed last for decades or even a hundred years.
For example, the Voyager 2 probe, launched in 1976, is still in operation more than 40 years later.
And now this room, in a sealed environment, is quite dry, and the environment for preservation is very good, and it is indeed possible for these military-industrial products to work for a long time without damage.
"And is it what we're looking for?"
Lu Yiming hesitated slightly, "It should be, I can't be too sure...... I couldn't read the text here, and the various documents in it looked like all kinds of numbers, mixed with some messy tables. ”
"My guess is that there may be a very, very important experiment that has not yet been completed when the civilization here is evacuated, so we can only arrange these computers to perform automatically and record the relevant data...... They were expecting to return to the continent in the future to get the relevant data, but in the end they were not able to return. ”
"If that's the case, we're going to make a fortune! This means that we will be able to obtain the final technological crystallization of this civilization! ”
Li Yao also said: "In a small room next to me, I found some tapes and disc-like storage devices. I don't know why, this civilization didn't take them with them before leaving. ”
"I think they're really looking forward to being able to return to the mainland in the future. So there's some material left in this lab. But the end result is, they didn't come back. ”
Shi Dayong licked his lips, he was not as excited as Lu Yiming: "Don't be too happy too early, let's find a way to move this computer completely first, as for other things, how much can be moved!" ”
This large main engine is two meters high, the volume of a refrigerator, and the weight of five hundred catties, and it took a lot of effort for the three of them to move it to a flatbed truck. Lu Yiming pushed it, and found that the sound of the car's tires was not too loud, and it was barely acceptable, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Next, the group searched around, using the wooden planks of a few tables, to piece together a few glove boxes, and then dismantled each of the mechanical devices that looked like computers and put them in the glove boxes.
Tapes, CDs, etc., are also brought with you.
These messes were piled up in four flatbed trucks, and the whole process took more than three hours in total.
Later, the 4 flatbed trucks could no longer be stacked, and everyone's backpacks were full, so they really couldn't fit it, so they gave up the search.
"It looks like you can only bring so much ......"
"It's pretty much the same. There's no need to carry these things like paper shredders. Is this a robot vacuum...... Forget it. ”
Lu Yiming and Li Yao lifted Liu Xuwei from a coma, threw him on the top of the glove box, and tied him tightly with bandages to prevent him from falling off in the middle of the process.
Although this posture is not very comfortable, Liu Xuwei is in a coma, plus the manpower is tight, where can he manage so much?
It's already been calculated to bother to bring him back.
"Zhong Peng, can you push one?"
Shi Dayong chose the lightest one for him, and then took the backpack on Zhong Peng's body and put it on his car.
This way, everyone will be able to travel light.
Zhong Peng nodded, coughed a few more times, and could barely do this without weight.
Next, the group discussed how to return safely.
"The last hurdle, a safe return."
This question is so important!
With so many important supplies, plus four carts, if you encounter a powerful monster on the road, there is basically no way to resist. There are still some weapons and ammunition, but there are more or less problems with everyone's physical condition, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to fight hard.
"So, even if there is another safe passage here, we can't afford to risk it."
"The best way is to go back the same way, the original route has basically been discovered, just a few hours of effort, the probability of another monster is not too great...... Hopefully, hopefully. ”
Faced with Lu Yiming's suggestion, everyone nodded in agreement.
Of course, the only trouble is the large group of eyeball monsters blocking the intersection.
These eyeball-like creatures fly at high speeds, and there are so many of them that it is difficult to hit them directly with a normal firearm, and although they can kill a few with a grenade, it is impossible to kill them all at once......
The most troublesome thing is that these guys will squirt acid.
The acid splashes on the body are not immediately fatal, but a single drop of acid can corrode a hole in the body. Ants bite elephants to death, and in their current physical state, it is already very good to be able to run a few steps with a flatbed truck, and it is impossible to survive the pursuit of eyeball monsters.
"What can I do, the room where the eyeball monster is located is the only way to the outside world. The detour seems a bit difficult. ”
Li Yao touched his chin and said, "Can you find another passage?" ”
Lu Yiming shook his head, thinking back to all the rooms he had just passed by: "The other passages are generally difficult...... Because outside that room is the military corridor. According to the conventional security principle, it is unlikely that we will bypass the military corridor and run directly to the outside world. Unless we take a particularly long detour, it's a different route. ”
"I have an idea." Speaking of this, Lu Yiming suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Those eyeball monsters should eat meat, right?" ”
"Then for sure, Liu Xuwei's arm was gnawed off by them. But maybe they'll eat grass, they'll eat moss, they'll be omnivores, you ask what they're doing? ”
Lu Yiming licked his lips: "Didn't we kill a scorpion monster?" By throwing this dead scorpion out as bait, we might be able to entice them to eat, and we'll be able to get through that passage. Dead scorpions are large enough that even if they eat fast, they can last for a while, right? ”
Shi Dayong's eyes lit up, "Good way!" ”
But he hesitated again: "But what if those eyeballs don't eat scorpions, but come to attack us?" ”
"There's no way around this, we can only do this." Lu Yiming shook his head.
After discussing it for a while, this risk must be taken, and instead of looking for other ways out, I don't know how much time it will take, and there may be other dangers. In contrast, this method has a higher success rate.
"So be it!" Shi Dayong clapped his hands and spat on them.
After making up their minds, everyone pushed the flatbed and slowly made their way down the hallway, trying not to make too much noise from the wheels of the flatbed.
But this thing is really a bit difficult, with so many loads loaded, it is almost impossible not to make a sound. In particular, when the flatbed encounters some slopes or gaps in the road surface, the noise generated is even greater. So much so that everyone in the team was thrilled with every step they took.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and nothing unusual happened.
Eventually, the flatbed trucks were pushed to the vicinity of the Eyeball Monster's room.
Lu Yiming swallowed, and through the wall, he seemed to be able to hear a "buzzing" sound of wings vibrating.
This is the final level!
"Let's go, let's go back and carry the body." Shi Dayong said, "Zhong Peng, you stay here. ”
Lu Yiming nodded, and the three of them pushed back to the room where the scorpion monster was, reaching out to carry it for a while.
Good fellow, the corpse of this monster is at least 500 kilograms, and the three exhausted members of the expedition are very difficult to carry.
There was no way, everyone could only go back to the control room again, find another flatbed, and forcefully lift the scorpion's corpse onto the flatbed, and finally be able to move normally.
After preparing all the processes, Lu Yiming's mood was slightly nervous, he was too afraid of an accident at this moment.
If there is really an accident, it is equivalent to losing all the previous efforts, and all the efforts are in vain...... And their lives will be threatened.
"Everybody take a break, and then we're going to run again. Get ready! ”
After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, and taking another injection of stimulants, Lu Yiming felt that his eyeballs were full of bloodshots.
The pulse on the temples is constantly beating, which may be due to excessive fatigue and too much medication in a short period of time.
"Leave the scorpion's heart core, maybe there is a little research value."
"You're very thorough." Shi Dayong smiled bitterly, maybe because he stayed in the institute too much, his thinking would be affected to a certain extent. But it's a good idea.
Lu Yiming activated the rune knife and cut off a hexagonal crystal the size of a basketball.
"Are you ready?" Shi Dayong made a gesture and said softly, "I'm opening the door!" ”
Lu Yiming, Li Yao, and Zhong Peng made an "OK" gesture to indicate that everything was ready.
“3……”
“2……”
“1……”
"Open!"
