Chapter 189: The Base's Problem

It was one of the rebel bases, and was run by Deku, known as the "General of Death". Miles talks about the children taken by the lizardmen and wants to organize a rescue operation. But that made Deku embarrassed.

"It's not that we don't go to the rescue, it's that our resources really can't afford such a big rescue operation." Uncle Deku said, biting his pipe. "Our energy reserves are only enough to keep the base running, and this rescue has already caused us to consume a huge amount of energy, and we need to find new ways to fill this gap."

"Are we going to ignore those kids? Those were kids, and I saw with my own eyes what the lizardmen were going to do to them! ”

"Miles, calm down, don't be so excited, we are all trying to find a way, we can't abandon the entire base in order to save people, and they have to live in the base after they are rescued, we all have to die without energy and food."

"Is my order useless?" Miles took the shot.

"This is not the headquarters, this is the branch, don't play your prestige here!" Deku's men also stood up from their chairs.

"General Deku, I want to know, what is the most shortage of the base right now?" Zhou Buxi leaned back in the chair, touched his chin and said, completely ignoring the two of them.

"Energy, it takes a lot of energy to run this underground base." Deku said as he motioned for his men to sit down.

"And next?"

"Food."

"And the third?"

"Medical."

"In this way, General Deku, now send people to reconnoiter and obtain the specific location of those children and prisoners, and do not rush forward until the information is determined, it will be time-consuming and laborious. During this period, Xuan Yuanshan and I will see if we can find a way to solve your three problems. The latter two should be able to be solved by looking for Shanshan, and in terms of energy, I will think of a way. ”

"Well, yes, I'm absolutely confident in reconnaissance and intelligence." Deku looked at Miles. "Brother, when will you be able to stabilize, you can't be impatient now, what Mr. Zhou said is indeed a very safe method. It's not that we don't listen to orders, it's that the hardware conditions don't allow it. ”

"I think if we solve these three problems, then the soldiers will be more confident in their hearts for rescue." Zhou Buxi fumbled and took out a cigarette and threw it to Deku.

"Oh...... Cigarettes, my goodness. Uncle Deku excitedly held the cigarette in his hand, put it to his nose and sniffed it.

"Okay, General Deku, sooner rather than later, you go and arrange to get information, and I'll turn this base."

After the meeting ended, Miles pulled Zhou Buxi.

"Mr. Zhou, are you sure you want to delay the rescue? Deku is cunning and cunning, is it to disobey orders in order to preserve strength. ”

Zhou Buxi glanced at Miles, he has always been very disgusted with this kind of official, unrealistic person. "You can go without delay."

"Mr. Zhou, please come with me." Deku's men, who had quarreled with Miles earlier, walked in. "I'll show you around the base."

"Miles, don't be too impulsive, but one man has led a city to survive a crisis. He didn't mean that way, everything had to be about the big picture. Xuan Yuanshan came over to explain to Miles. We're all here, we'll help. ”

"Mr. Zhou, my name is Zhang Qiang, and I am the captain of the defense team here." Zhou Buxi looked at this man in his early 30s, with short lean hair, sparse stubble, and a shabby military uniform.

"You don't have to go anywhere else, and it won't make a big difference if you go, take me to the place where the energy supply is available."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou."

Looking at this Zhang Qiang on the road, Zhou Buxi thought about it for a while and opened his mouth. "Your name is Zhang Qiang, are you Chinese?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhou, there are few borders in this environment now, but my parents are very traditional, so they gave me a traditional name." Zhang Qiang said with a smile.

"Maybe you're a Chinese, haha." Zhou Buxi also smiled embarrassedly, realizing that his question was inappropriate.

"This is it." Zhang Qiang walked up to a huge gate, entered instructions outside the gate, and scanned himself before allowing him to enter.

Inside is a huge energy core, and the huge core has three huge energy takeover links, but there is one energy takeover that is damaged, which is quite serious. One has no energy activity at all, only one is functioning, and it is full of lightning.

"This is the energy core, and all our energy will be concentrated here, and then supplied to the entire base." Zhang Qiang beckoned, and in the distance came down an old mechanic-like man, thin and lean, covered in stains.

"Hello, my name is Chris, and I'm the head of the house. You are Mr. Zhou Buxi. ”

"Yes, I am, is there any problem with the energy supply?" Zhou Buxi asked.

"It's a big problem." Chris pointed to the massive energy core. "Originally, this energy core should be supplied by three energy sources, solar, wind and fire, so it can be said that we can only have these three ways."

"Why not nuclear energy?" Xuan Yuanshan asked.

"This young lady, I also know that nuclear energy is easy to use, but there was a base the year before last, which was infiltrated by alien robots and blew up the entire area at once, and there is really no base to dare to use it." Chris launched the button, and the entire platform began to move upwards. "Look, the solar energy supply line is now damaged, and if you want to fix it, you have to suspend the energy core, then the entire base will be powered off, and the repair time is unknown, which is very difficult." Chris pointed to another energy link pipe the size of a train. "Wind power has been scrapped, the original terrain of the Grand Canyon has been blown flat, and the environmental damage has lost the role of wind power generation."

"So now it's a tricycle that only runs on one wheel?" Zhou Buxi said.

"That's right, it's not easy to survive until now."

"Then let me ask, is the energy flowing in this pipe electricity?"

"Now we only have electricity to use, and the spacecraft also uses similar electrical energy, after all, this thing is the most secure, this energy core is simply a big battery, the kind that can store electricity and generate electricity." Chris explained.

"Then I have a way, let's give it a try." Zhou asked Chris to move the platform to where the damaged pipes were. The wiring inside is complicated, but the damage caused by aging can be clearly seen. "Are you saying that all that flows in these lines is electricity?"

"yes, it's just that he can be so bad." Chris said. "No one can afford to stop the core responsibility."

"Do you have to go out of power to fix it?" Zhou Buxi asked.

"If there is no power outage, such a large amount of electric energy will become coke when ordinary people touch it." Chris said.

Xuan Yuanshan tried it with a rattan whip, and as soon as she touched the damaged end, the rattan whip instantly turned into charcoal.

"Then let me try." Zhou Buxi rolled up his sleeves.
