Chapter 295: Ecological Monitoring Station: Antarctica
Pillars of blue light emitted by the planetary engine passed through the layers of shadows in hyperspace and finally landed on a white ice sheet.
As soon as he landed, Qiao Lu felt a cold wind hitting him, and the temperature displayed by the nano sensor on the armor also plummeted to more than minus eighty degrees.
If there is no global climate anomaly like the Wandering Earth, then this must be Antarctica.
Although they encountered a strong cold snap from the beginning, this time the investigation team did not notice the existence of enemies in the vicinity.
It seems that the location of the teleportation point is also a little remote, at least it does not have to be surrounded by a large number of zombies as soon as it came up like the last time the Resident Evil plane was located.
"No obvious threat creatures have been detected, the waypoint is safe!"
The members of the investigation team finally breathed a sigh of relief, and in any case, the first step in the exploration of this plane was finally taken smoothly.
Qiao Lu reminded them: "Don't let your guard down so quickly, our enemies are not necessarily creatures, don't let up just because you can't detect biological signals!" ”
In this Overwatch world, intelligence machines are even more dangerous than humans. This base may be inaccessible, but not necessarily for intelligent machines.
Liu Peiqiang ordered the members of the investigation team: "You heard it, stay vigilant!" Secure the waypoint until reinforcements arrive! ”
"Yes, sir!"
The members of the investigation team immediately began to skillfully set up positions, establishing a defensive line to enclose the teleportation point. Without enemy interference, this was done with great ease.
At the same time, after the existence of an observer from the wandering Earth in this world, a communication connection was finally established between the two planes.
Qiao Lu immediately contacted the Wandering Earth Command and explained to them the current location of the investigation team:
"According to geographers, this is the South Pole of the Earth, and the temperature is indeed quite low, which is too unusual even for the polar regions in this season. No hostile targets have been identified so far, and a second group of troops can be prepared for the teleportation. ”
Luo Feng nodded and said, "Received, prepare for the second teleportation, since it is an uninhabited South Pole, then we can immediately establish a front-line base." ”
At present, it seems that there is really no one here to prevent the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force from establishing a forward base, and it seems that this time the pressure on the investigation team will be much less than the last time in the biochemical plane.
However, the bad news also came immediately, and Ding Yi, who was in the headquarters of the Wandering Earth, said to Qiao Lu:
"Since it is not yet possible to determine what kind of effect the intelligence signals sent by the wisdom pupil will have on the mechanical lifeforms, we will not be able to ask Moss to come over to support you this time, and in the same way, it is better for the Transformers not to be dispatched, I hope you can understand."
"Understood."
In any case, it is not a wise choice to let the mechanical life forms of the wandering Earth come to this intelligent machine crisis plane.
Even if it is not said that it may be affected by the signal of the wisdom pupil, just letting them see this confrontation between people and intelligence machines may make them feel guilty.
Therefore, it is better to avoid letting artificial intelligence or Transformers come into contact with this Overwatch world as much as possible, so as not to have any bad influence among them.
This time, humanity is on its own.
However, the absence of Transformers does not mean that the Wandering Earth does not have a large mechanical force capable of providing fire support!
As the blue teleportation pillar fell again, the entire ice field trembled, and a thick ice mist shook up on the teleportation point.
In the shadow of the ice mist, a tall figure slowly appeared.
I saw a huge heavy mecha like a small mountain slowly stepping out of the ice mist, and with every step one could feel the ice field under their feet trembling slightly, it was like Gulliver who had come to Lilliputia, and everyone could only look up at its huge dark green body.
This is the Russian mecha hunter Chernoalpha who has been transformed by the Wandering Earth Demon, and this time it will temporarily take on the task of providing heavy fire support for the investigation team.
It has to be said that the Chernoalpha is extremely heavily armored, and the head of the heavy mecha hunter is like a pillbox, which can give people a full sense of reliability.
By the time it's in place to provide fire support, the waypoint defense line is impregnable.
Next, the mobile base vehicle and the carrier engineering mecha were also teleported in turn, and the construction of the frontline base of the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force was in full swing on this inaccessible polar ice field.
It all went very well, and sure enough, the location of the waypoint in a remote location was the benefit.
While the construction of the forward base was well underway, the investigation team's reconnaissance also paid off, and one of the investigation team soldiers flew around with the flying device of a steel suit and came back and reported:
"At eight o'clock, I found a scientific research station, about 150 kilometers away from here, the equipment is quite complete but it looks a little deserted, I don't know for what reason."
"Research station?"
There is nothing strange about the discovery of a scientific research station in Antarctica, human beings have never stopped exploring the mysterious continent of Antarctica, and for the technologically advanced Overwatch plane, exploring the polar regions is even more commonplace.
It's just an abandoned Antarctic research station, which reminds Qiao Lu of a character in Overwatch anyway.
"Let's go and have a look."
Qiao Lu immediately formed a team, and the group quickly rushed to the direction where the scientific research station was discovered.
The station was built in a huge ice valley that blended in with the surrounding ice, and would have been difficult for the team to notice if it weren't for being too close to the teleportation point.
The most conspicuous place must be the radar signal tower towering in the center of the research station. It's just that the signal tower has been obviously damaged, and there is an obvious fracture mark in the middle, which makes it completely fall to the side of the ice, which is obviously irreparable.
Strangely enough, however, at the top of the radar tower, a huge icicle sticks protrudes from the ice, holding it in place and not leaning, which is why it has not completely collapsed yet.
And next to the radar signal tower, a Watchman flag is fluttering in the wind. Judging by the condition of this flag, it seems that someone has replaced it with a new flag not long ago, so it is not as worn out as anything else.
There are all kinds of indications that this is indeed the place that Qiao Lu thought of - the ecological monitoring station: Antarctica, where Overwatch member Xiaomei once worked!
