CHAPTER XVI

A few hours later, the battle robot managed to reach the passage, and the exploration of the passage began once again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The path opened by the combat robots to explore the passage was indeed much faster, and after a while, they advanced a hundred meters from the place where the engineering robots were destroyed. On this road, there is a weapon every five or six meters, some of these weapons are laser devices, some are live-fire weapons, and these weapons will stick out of the wall to shoot when the combat robots pass by, but after all, they are combat robots, and they solve these weapons very neatly.

However, after advancing a hundred meters, Zhou Xin found that there were more and more weapons sticking out of the wall, basically there was a weapon every meter, and in some places there would even be two weapons to attack at the same time, although this did not bring great trouble to the combat robots, but seeing more and more weapons coming out, Zhou's worries became more serious.

In this way, under the attack of a bunch of weapons, the combat robot advanced another hundred meters, and at the end of this hundred meters, the robot encountered the attack of weapons almost every step forward, and in order to clean up these weapons, the robot had to slow down, but it was only a matter of time before these weapons were cleared.

After clearing out the four weapons that appeared at the same time, the battle robot took another step forward, and just as Zhou Xin was about to see how many weapons would emerge next, there was no movement on the surrounding walls at all. At first, Zhou Xin didn't believe the result in front of him, he also ordered the robot to wait in place for a while, but a long time passed, and there was indeed no weapon sticking out of the wall again, Zhou Xin finally believed this result, he began to ask the robot to try to take two steps forward, and after the robot took two steps forward, there was still no weapon sticking out of the wall.

Zhou Xin couldn't believe what he saw, and he said suspiciously, "This is the end?" Left with no weapons? Passed through this passage? Then, looking at the passage in front of him, which still had no end in sight, he frowned and said to himself, "I always feel that this is still strange, if it is successfully passed, what is the passage left in front of such a long passage, I always feel that there is something strange waiting in front of me." Forget it, it's better to be vigilant. ”

So, Zhou Xin ordered the combat robot to continue to be vigilant and move forward slowly, the robot took a few steps forward, and there was still no weapon sticking out of the passage, and Zhou Xin's doubts became more and more serious. After walking forward for another 10 meters or so, suddenly, Zhou Xin heard the sound of an object falling to the ground, and then he heard the sound of the object rolling, and in less than a second, there was a small explosion, and then a blue light appeared on the screen, and then the area on the screen that represented the field of vision of the combat robot was completely black.

"We've lost contact with the combat robots." Voyager Report.

"What just happened? All I saw was a blue light. Zhou Xin asked puzzled.

Spred and the researchers said they didn't see what was happening.

"Okay." Zhou Xin said helplessly, fortunately, there is a detector behind the combat robot, let's take a look at the picture of the detector.

The screen changed to a probe behind the fighting machine.

Zhou Xin saw that the battle robot on the screen took two steps forward normally at first, but when it continued to move forward, Zhou Xin heard the sound of the familiar item falling just now, followed by the rolling sound, and then the explosion sound, but then Zhou Xin saw clearly, after the explosion, the ground near the ground where the combat robot was standing was covered with blue arc light, these arcs writhed on the ground like snakes, and after about two seconds, the arc light on the ground disappeared in an instant. Only the battle robot was still standing, but now the robot was completely still, and from time to time it still shone with the blue arc light it had just seen.

"How do these blue arcs look like electric arcs?" After watching this video, Zhou Xin asked a little puzzled.

"The detector showed that the blue light just now was indeed an arc light." The Voyager gave an affirmative answer.

"It's really an arc light." Zhou Xin was slightly surprised, "Then how did these arc lights appear?" He thought for a moment, "At the beginning, I heard the sound of an object falling, could it be related to this sound?" Did you hear that? He asked, turning to Spred.

Spred: They said they heard that strange sound as well.

So they played the video again, and in the end, the attentive Leia discovered the secret.

"Do you see there's a round thing rolling on the ground in front of the robot?" She asked, somewhat uncertain.

After playing it for the third time, Zhou Xin and the others saw a circular black shadow the size of a fist at the position pointed out by Leia, and then, after this black shadow moved on the ground for a distance, the arc light they had just seen appeared. In order to see clearly how this circular black shadow appeared, they played back the video for the fourth time, since they knew the location of the black shadow, it was not difficult to find its source, under the slow-motion video, Zhou Xin saw that the circular black shadow came out of the grooves that had already existed on the wall, because there were such grooves every 10 meters in the passage along the way, so they didn't think about what problems would happen to these grooves at the beginning.

Knowing how the weapon appeared, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the unknown was even more frightening, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"What is this? Looks like a bomb? He asked, confused, "But why haven't I seen the effect of this bomb, but this effect seems to have been seen in a movie novel, it seems to be called-" He thought for a moment, then said a new word, "Plasma grenade?" ”

"The effect is really similar to the plasma grenade in science fiction works, and even the visual effects are very similar." The Voyager replied.

While Zhou Xin and the Voyager were talking, Ralph asked curiously, "What is a plasma grenade?" ”

When the Voyager gave Ralph their popular science, Zhou Xin thought to himself, "There really is a plasma grenade, how can this weapon that only exists in science fiction works appear, this civilization can actually create items that only exist in our imagination, it's incredible." It seems that their technological level is higher than ours. ”

After thinking about these things, Zhou Xin saw that the Voyager had finished popularizing science to Spred, so he said to them: "Plasma grenade is something that can't be made with our current technology, it seems that what I said at the beginning has become a reality, and the appearance of plasma grenade This kind of weapon shows that the technology of this civilization is indeed stronger than ours, so what should we do next." ”

Spred thought for a long time, and then said slowly: "Actually, I've been having a question for the past two days. He paused for a moment, "So far, we've made such a big fuss in this passage, and it's always strange to me that if the technology on the other side is higher than ours, how can they not find out about our actions." ”

Zhou Xin followed Spred's words and thought about it, "You mean to say that they found out about our actions, but didn't react to our actions?" ”

"Maybe there's another possibility—" said Spred hesitantly, "maybe—this civilization is long gone, so there's no way to talk about discovering what isn't being discovered." And the weapons we've encountered so far may just be the automatic defense they've left behind. ”

After listening to Spred's words, Zhou Xin fell into deep contemplation, and after thinking for a long time, Zhou Xin said, "If it is according to your idea, then our next exploration is indeed safe, it is nothing more than a little more trouble and a little more time." But have you ever wondered what if this was their conspiracy, and they deliberately acted as if they didn't find out about us, and then waited for us to go in before they did it? ”

"And what did they do it for?" Spred retorted, "Designing such a complex clue to get us here step by step, just to move towards an unknown civilization?" They don't even know what level of civilization they are going to face to dare to do this? I think you're still too cautious. ”

Zhou Xin reflected on his thoughts, "You're right, I'm thinking too much, okay, let's move on." ”

"Have you figured out how to deal with plasma grenades?" Ralph asked from the side.

"Combat robots can deal with it." Zhou Xin spread his hands, "At first, I didn't know what it was, so I didn't know how to solve it, but now I know what it is, and I know how it came out, it's easy to deal with, just tell the robot to pay attention to the grooves in the wall, either block the launch port, or use quick action to lure the grenade out." ”

When the decision was made, Zhou Xin ordered the follow-up battle robots to replace the robots that were destroyed at the beginning and continue to move forward, but fortunately, just in case, Zhou Xin asked several battle robots to wait near the stone wall, so after a while, the new battle robots replaced the work of the previous robots, and they continued to move forward.

After knowing how the plasma grenades appeared, the speed of the combat robot was accelerated, even faster than before passing through the area of laser and live ammunition weapons, after all, those weapons appeared from the wall coldly, and the robot had to be prepared to prevent being attacked with every step it took, and these plasma grenades were fired from the grooves in the wall, as long as you paid attention to the points in front of the grooves. In less than 20 minutes, the combat robot managed to advance another hundred meters.

At this time, Zhou Xin's mood began to be a little nervous again, according to the previous exploration of the channel, Zhou Xin found that in addition to the engineering robot at the beginning of the 50 meters, every 100 meters after that, the weapons in the channel will undergo some changes, either in quantity or type. So, when the robot reached the end of the hundred meters again, Zhou Xin looked at the screen intently, in case he missed something.

Sure enough, as Zhou Xin expected, after walking this 100-meter distance, the weapons that came out of the wall began to change, and there were more flashbangs shot out of the wall, when the first flashbang exploded, Zhou Xin was really startled, and when he thought that this combat robot was going to be destroyed again, the screen returned to its original state, and then the combat robot reported that it had just encountered an ordinary flashbang, which made Zhou Xin feel strange, and the channel inexplicably shot out a weapon that did not hurt what to do. But what happened next made Zhou Xin understand, and the robot took a few steps forward, at this time, in addition to firing a flashbang on the wall, all the weapons that the robot had encountered before appeared, in the strong white light, a laser appeared in the cold, or a bullet, or even a plasma grenade, but due to the special structure of the robot, it ignored the impact of the white light and disposed of those weapons without danger. Of course, under the influence of the white light, Zhou Xin did not see the process of the robot cleaning the weapon, and he only learned what had just happened under the report of the robot later.

After making sure that the flashbang did not affect the combat robot, Zhou Xin ordered the combat robot to move forward, and then, under the constantly flashing white light, gunshots and explosions continued to sound, and the entire passage almost became a battlefield, although the combat robot was not well affected by the strong light, but the dense weapons still inevitably slowed down the robot's pace.

Looking at the screen in front of him, which was constantly flashing with white light, Ralph asked curiously, "What's the use of this flashbang?" I don't think it will have any effect on robots. ”

Spred patted her on the head, "If it were you in the passage right now, you wouldn't think so." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "I also just reacted, of course these flashbangs have no effect on robots, they are prepared for us natural creatures." He said to Ralph, "Think about it, if we go down, will we be able to destroy other weapons so smoothly under the influence of flashbangs?" ”

Ralph tilted his head and thought, "Seems to be, if I go down, I will definitely be unable to find the north by Flash." ”

"And I think we're probably close to our destination." Zhou Xin continued, "Except for auxiliary weapons such as flashbangs, there have been no new weapons of destruction in the passage, and according to this law, either auxiliary weapons will appear again, or the attack will end, and I think the latter will be more likely." ”

"Perhaps." Spred was noncommittal.

Then, Zhou Xin refocused his attention on the screen, and on the screen, the battle robot continued to move slowly and orderly under the attack of various weapons.

After waiting quietly for more than half an hour, the combat robot finally broke through the distance of 100 meters forward, and after processing a laser device, the robot took a step forward, but at this time, the passage was quiet again......
