Chapter 15: The Man-Eating Bird (4)
Ah Jun had planned to make a report, at most have a meal at the base camp, and then rush back to camp No. 3, and send supplies to the two communication stations set up along the way, but who knew that the committee would send a representative, and he would arrive the next day at the latest, and he would have to be questioned in person at that time. He would not be able to rush back to the camp. I had to collect a batch of weapons, ammunition and supplies, entrust the transport airship to transport them back, and ask to ensure 24-hour communication.
Since he couldn't leave, Ah Jun simply went with Irina to study the man-eating birds.
Although Irina is a forensic doctor, after all, she has lived for more than a hundred years, and she has time to learn all kinds of knowledge, forensic medicine, but it is just her preference, so in the expedition, she is also the head of the science and technology team.
By the time Jun was reporting to the committee, the members of the specialized research team had already disassembled and dissected the man-eating bird he had brought back, set up parts and biochemicals on a table, and even the body fluids had been sampled separately for analysis.
The man-eating bird is a typical biochemical machine, but its own AI is very low, and it is not smarter than birds of the same type, and its intelligence mainly comes from a radio receiver, which means that this biochemical mechanical bird has no autonomous action and is remotely controlled by humans. Judging by the receptivity of the receiver, the person operating the mechanical bird is within a radius of three kilometers.
This result is heartening, because it means that close contact is just around the corner, and if contact and communication can be made, there is a chance that war can be avoided.
In addition, the belly of the man-eating bird has two container compartments, one is a high-voltage battery, the design is very advanced, in addition to serving as the power source of the man-eating bird, it can also instantly release all the energy under the radio command, simply put, an explosion.
The Piranha's other container compartment is the same size as the battery compartment, and also has an accessory, apparently that it can be used as a backup battery compartment, but this Piranha has a compressed fire extinguishing container in its container. This shows that Asuka's mission also includes forest fire prevention.
This is further proof that the owners of the piranha birds were also immigrants from the earth, as the original settlers were basically peaceful environmentalists.
Ah Jun said to Irina, "When the committee representatives come, you can provide more information than mine." ”
That night, Ah Jun slept in the hospital in the base camp, and by the way, he could also take care of his beautiful teeth. According to the schedule, representatives of the Commission would arrive the following morning, but they did not show up at the allotted time.
Irina was worried about what had happened to them on the way, so she hurriedly inquired, only to be told that the gang hadn't set off yet.
Ah Jun gritted his teeth angrily and asked Irina to urge, Irina understood Ah Jun's mood very well, so she tried her best to explain it when she knew that it was useless to urge. Even so, the delegates arrived three or four hours after dinner, and one by one they were drunk, supposedly tasting the local specialties in the border towns of the last human city-states.
The drunken deputies, of course, could not immediately go to work, so they had to arrange for them to sleep first.
Ah Jun complained: "I knew that these guys would only start working tomorrow, so I went back to the camp, although Cheng Gang's ability is enough, but the gang in the steel city-state regard him as a traitor, and he has a hard time working." ”
Irina said, "If you come, you will be safe, and first do the things in front of you." ”
However, there is also good news, one is that the body of Kekexi and the Naga people has recovered, and the other is that the representatives of the committee came with Jin Junmei.
The next day, Ah Jun got up very early, but the meeting was not allowed to start until 10:30 a.m., and Ah Jun was not happy, so he scribbled the information he had given to the committee the day before yesterday, and then expressed some of his worries. But the delegates seemed to be suffering from a hangover and didn't heed his words.
It was Irina's turn, who explained the analysis of the man-eating birds and presented physical evidence, which aroused the interest of the delegates, but they still did not realize the seriousness of the problems, and even felt that they were easy to solve. As a result, a dispute similar to that within the committee arose among the delegates.
It is no wonder that these representatives are part of the committee, and the dispute here is only a continuation of the dispute within the committee.
The representative of the steel city-state suggested: "Since the man-eating bird can be controlled within three kilometers, let's create a three-kilometer buffer zone, set up sentinel points, and configure high-velocity automatic weapons to protect the core area." ”
In response, the representative of the Ark Alliance sneered disdainfully: "It is indeed a good way to set up sentinels to protect the core area, but who will protect the sentinels?" Another three kilometers of buffer zone? Not to mention how many resources are consumed for this? How much woodland and natural environment have been destroyed? ”
The representative of the Iron City-State retorted, "Unless you have a better way, please don't dictate our countermeasures. ”
The representative of the Ark Alliance is really confident, and he proposed: The Ark Alliance is willing to fund another batch of highly intelligent drones for the expedition, so that they can use flying chess against man-eating birds to achieve a tactical balance.
The representative of the Ark Alliance also said triumphantly: "Our drones are highly intelligent, completely crushing man-eating birds in technology, and can also carry simple weapons and tactical formation, whether it is operators or related equipment, we provide one-stop service." ”
Interestingly, the representative of Fandao actually agreed with the Iron City-State, but suggested that changes could be made, such as the outpost could be converted into a Fandao-style crypt, and the rabbit warriors would be stationed there, which would save a lot of resources and minimize the damage to the forest, and finally he added: "Our warriors are very agile, and as long as they are equipped with the right rapid-fire weapons, they can deal with the man-eating birds and the operators behind the scenes." ”
Seeing that there was support, the representative of the steel city-state immediately said, "Our warriors can live and die together with the warriors of Fandao and take on this task together!" ”
Unbeknownst to him, his hot face was attached to someone else's cold fart, and the representative of Fandao said with disgust: "Your warriors are too tall, if you really want to join, we have to prepare a king-size toilet, otherwise it won't fit." ”
"You ......" the steel city-state representative's face flushed.
While the two representatives were arguing, the representative of the Tree Elf sneered on the side, and then said, "Jungle warfare is still the most professional of our race!" To build a sentry or something, we don't need to build a house and dig a hole, we don't even need a kitchen, because the big forest is our home. ”
The representative of the steel city-state said angrily: "Don't want a kitchen? Admit it, you're a bunch of monkeys who haven't evolved yet! As he spoke, he took a banana as a hand and threw it at the representative of the tree elf, and as soon as the representative of the tree elf bowed his head, the banana accurately hit the representative of the metropolis, who said with an innocent face: "What did I do wrong?" Then he grabbed a handful of prickly plums from the fruit bowl and counterattacked, but the prickly plums were not big, and a dozen of them were scattered and hit some innocent guys, so the scuffle began.
A long time ago, Ah Jun had heard that although the city-state alliance was a rubber stamp, it often staged all-out martial arts because it represented the interests of their respective city-states, and today he can see it with his own eyes.
As a bounty hunter, this level of attack was completely negligible to him, but it was a headache for the noise, so as the battle began, he quietly slipped out of the venue. found that Jin Junmei slipped out earlier than him, leaning against the wall and spitting smoke.
Ah Jun walked up with a smile and said, "Smoking is harmful to health, this is an ancient adage. Beware of me telling your dad."
Jin Junmei said angrily: "He is fighting with your sister now, so he doesn't have time to care about me." ”
Ah Jun said, "If you're looking for excitement, I've got a better one." As he spoke, he took out a "matchbox" from his bosom and opened it, revealing three pieces of heaven inside. Explained: "This was given to me as a reward for the last sisterhood, and now there is no source, and there is one less piece." ”
Jin Junmei saw it, his eyes lit up and said, "I didn't expect you to save such a good thing." He grinned and reached out to take it, but Ah Jun dodged it and said, "I only said that I had a better one, but I didn't say that I wanted to share it with you." ”
Jin Junmei said unrelentingly: "Wealth does not reveal wealth, since I know, I will not return empty-handed." ”
The two laughed and played, but they didn't know that an unprecedented crisis was about to befall the head of the expedition team still stationed in the depths of the forest, first of all, the communication balloon at the communication station was mostly destroyed by man-eating birds, and the communication with Camp 3 was almost cut off.
Due to the planet's arc and dense forests, a communication tower is needed about every 50 kilometers to relay the communication signal. So the expedition set up three communication stations along the way, raised balloons to maintain communication, and left four maintenance personnel.
At present, the damaged communication stations are No. 3 and No. 1, and the communication station No. 2 is still intact, but since there is only one relay station left, the communication signal is weak and intermittent.
The communications officer of the base camp tried to report as soon as he found out that the communication was interrupted, but found that almost all the high-level personnel of the expedition had been taken to the conference room, so he had to go to the conference room to report in person, and met Ah Jun and Jin Junmei on the way, so he quickly told him the news of the man-eating bird attack on the communication station.
When Ah Jun heard this, he immediately rushed to the house, he hurriedly deployed manpower and materials, but was told that now all administrative orders have been frozen by the committee representatives, and a person, a gun, or even a bullet cannot be received now.
Ah Jun immediately asked Jin Junmei to go to the conference room, he still had some "small treasury" in case of emergency, and he didn't care so much at this time, so he took it all out, and caught up with Kekexi and a few other Naga to recover their health, but they didn't care what they represented. helped Ah Jun carry supplies and went straight to the airship landing field.
But when they got to the airship, they still couldn't get up without the approval of the committee representatives, but fortunately, the guards were also members of the expedition team, and they were also friendly with each other, so they hinted: "As long as I'm still standing here, I can't let you drive the airship away without permission!" ”
Ah Jun said: "That's what you said. Then he shot the guard in the head with his index finger, and the guard fell down with an exaggerated scream, and then fell to the ground and said, "Take my gun with you, one more gun, one more insurance." ”
