Chapter 47: The Golden Cicada
The beast ability and the woman each had a space ring, Xia Fei took it down very unceremoniously, they were all dead, what was the use of keeping things? Besides, it is also a matter of course for a soldier to obtain his own spoils, and the assessment regulations do not say that they cannot take other candidates' things, and anyone can kill them, let alone things.
After cleaning up the three corpses, Xia Fei and Xiaoyu returned to the bushes where they were hiding.
Xia Fei took out a bottle of mineral water from the ring and handed it to Xiaoyu, took out a Hongta Mountain and lit it, took a deep breath, and let the smoke stay in his lungs for about thirty seconds before Xia Fei exhaled.
Xia Fei poured out all the things in the two spatial rings, and there were suddenly a lot of messy things on the yellow earth.
Xiaoyu blinked, looking surprised, "Brother Xia Fei, are you going to do magic again?" ”
Xia Fei patted Xiaoyu's head, "Come, help my brother find where is the token of the second level?" ”
"Hmm!" Xiao Yu began to rummage through the pile of things very seriously, Xia Fei's eyes lit up, and he suddenly found that there was a golden egg in these things, which was very similar to the mechanical killer just now.
Xia Fei hurriedly picked up the egg from the ground and held it in his hand to look at it.
The golden egg has a flawless body, a smooth and clean surface, and it feels cold to the touch, as if it were on ice.
The size of this egg was much smaller, only the size of a goose egg, but it was very heavy, Xia Fei weighed it, and it weighed at least thirty kilograms.
"Ghosts? What is this thing? Xia Fei asked.
The ghost squinted slightly, staring at the golden egg with an appreciative gaze, "This thing is called the Golden Cicada, and it is also a killing robot left over from ancient civilizations, but its grade is higher than that of a mechanical killer." ”
The combat power displayed by the mechanical killer made Xia Fei's heart palpitate, especially its cruelty, if it weren't for the beast ability with good defense, the mechanical killer would definitely chop him into meat sauce entirely, not just chop off his head, and this thing is even more powerful than the mechanical killer!
"There is a flying intelligent robot worm in it, it looks very much like a cicada, so people call it the golden cicada, the golden cicada is not only strong in attack but also extremely fast, can reach about a thousand meters per second, as long as it is an opponent within this speed range, it is basically difficult to escape its attack." The ghost continued.
The mechanical killer just now has a serious flaw, that is, his speed, judging from the few steps he runs, his speed can reach at most fifty meters per second, that is, as long as the speed can exceed fifty meters per second, the ability can escape under the tracking of the mechanical killer.
And the speed of the golden cicada is 1,000 meters per second, which is enough to catch up with most of the abilities, just making up for the shortcomings of the mechanical killer.
Xia Fei thought for a moment, "The robot bee is also very fast, is the golden cicada similar to it?" ”
The ghost burst out laughing, "The robot bee is a child's toy, how can it be compared with this thing, you must know that the biggest difference between robots and machines is artificial intelligence, all robots have intelligent systems, the higher the level of robots, the higher the degree of intelligence, I heard that the highest level of robots can even think like people, but unfortunately the number of high-level robots is too small, I just heard that I haven't seen it with my own eyes." ”
Xia Fei took the silver robot killer over to take a look at it, and found that his body had become a little weak, and he casually pulled it with his hand, and actually tore off an arm from the mechanical killer's body.
This is really a strange thing, only a few dozen minutes ago, the lancet in the arms of the mechanical killer was able to break through the strong defenses of the beast ability, but now it has become so unbearable, the contrast between before and after makes Xia Fei puzzled.
"The materials used by the golden cicada and the mechanical killer are a special metal, this metal is hard and sharp, but once it is exposed to the air, it will quickly become soft, so these small robots will be protected in an egg-shaped device to isolate the erosion of the air, and it is precisely because of this that a large number of egg-shaped robots can be preserved after the destruction of ancient civilizations, as for those high-level robots are extremely rare."
"There is also a speculation that the ancient civilization rebelled not all robots, but those who really have a high degree of artificial intelligence among the robots, those high-IQ robots disappeared into the vast sea of stars after destroying the ancient human civilization, and the robots left behind are all low-level artificial intelligence types."
The ghost shadow said a lot of things about the ancient civilization in one breath, and Xia Fei couldn't help but have a yearning for the mysterious ancient civilization, and he suddenly remembered a legend about Atlantis.
Legend has it that the Atlantean civilization used a large number of robots, could it be that the Atlanteans are avoiding the pursuit of robot rebels? Could it be that Atlantis is a remnant of an ancient civilization?
Xia Fei shook his head, trying his best to clean up these messy speculations from his head, the most important thing now is to pass this assessment first, as for other things, let's talk about it later.
"Ghost, how should this thing be used?" Xia Fei asked, pointing to the golden cicada in his hand.
"The top of this egg can be opened, and if you look closely, you will see that there is a line there that is not obvious."
Xia Fei took a closer look with his eyes, and sure enough, there was a thin silk thread above the eggshell, which he couldn't find if he didn't look closely.
"This is a safety device, to protect the starter from accidental opening due to random touch, if you want to start the golden cicada, you first need to open this safety first."
This is like a safety switch on a weapon, to prevent accidental misfire, Xia Fei followed the ghost's guidance to push open the safety clockwise, revealing a circular groove inside.
This is the second insurance, you need to insert your finger into it and press the button inside, which can start the golden cicada, it seems that the ancients were also very afraid of the power of the golden cicada, so they made the starting device so complicated, after all, this little thing is to take people's lives as soon as it is released.
After Xia Fei learned how to activate the egg-shaped robot, he put the golden cicada into his spatial ring, and by this time Xiaoyu had already finished sorting all the loot.
She grouped the different kinds of things together, and arranged them in piles, with a metal nameplate engraved with words in the center.
This nameplate is round, the whole body is red and dull, and the word rulings are engraved on it, needless to say, this must be a token of the second level.
Among the remaining items were a dozen bottles of water and two bags of snake's eye berries, which could replenish his stamina and hydration and were exactly what Xia Fei urgently needed right now.
The rest were medical and survival tools and clothing, which were of little value.
"These three people are really poor enough, and there are no good things except for the golden cicada." The ghost said, shaking his head.
Xia Fei smiled, one of the two space rings is one cubic meter, and the other is about 0.5 cubic meters, which is worth more than 100 million yuan in total, plus a golden cicada, such a benefit is already a lot for Xia Fei.
After putting away these things, Xia Fei handed Xiaoyu a snake-eye berry and ate one himself.
Xiao Yu was very curious to follow Xia Fei's example and stuffed the snake-eye berries into his mouth, and as soon as he bit them, Xiao Yu's face showed a bitter expression, "Brother Xia Fei, this fruit is not delicious at all." ”
Xia Fei couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pinch Xiao Yu's face, "Although this thing is not delicious, it is very good for your body, eating it can make Xiao Yu grow up quickly." ”
Xiaoyu nodded obediently, reluctantly swallowed the snake's eye berry, tilted her head and asked, "Does this fruit taste like chocolate?" ”
……
Outside the Earth's orbit, in the pitch black space, there is a whole fleet of warships escorting this crisis assessment, this is the Fifth Fleet of the Ndaro Adjudicators.
When the Adjudicators' Guild decided to send the powerful Fifth Fleet to Earth, there was a lot of controversy within the guild, and many people didn't understand why the defense of the assessment was so tight this time.
You must know that the Fifth Fleet is composed of four Raven-class battleships and 24 Torlex-class cruisers, and there are as many as 100 other small ships.
However, President Robert ignored all the suggestions to reduce the cost of the assessment, and sent the most elite fleet under his command over the crowd, and his resolute attitude was very puzzling.
The Fifth Fleet has set up layers of defense with the earth as the core, like an impregnable wall.
However, the Fifth Fleet did not realize that less than a light year from Earth, a Helios-class stealth service ship was sailing in the darkness of space.
The stealth service ship was converted from a small frigate-class ship, which removed a lot of weaponry and installed a number of advanced electronic systems instead.
It can not only conduct covert reconnaissance on specific targets, but also intercept the communication signals of the other party, and even stealth in the vast space, making it impossible for people to find out.
The Helios-class stealth service ship had no number, no name, no information about what a spaceship should have, and no information about the ship could be found even in the Alliance database.
It sailed in the vast and deep starry sky, like a ghost, quietly flying towards the earth.
Countless electronic devices in the surveillance room were busy working, and all information transmission from Earth to the Adjudicator's Guild was intercepted by the ship.
In the universe, intercepting information is not too difficult to do, the key is how to crack it.
Any combination and country has its own unique encryption system, and encryption systems up to hundreds of millions of bits are by no means so easy to crack, even with the most powerful computers, it will take 10,000 years of continuous computing!
Very few people try to crack the encryption system, because before you can calculate the other party's encryption program, the other party has already changed to another system.
However, the light curtain in the monitoring room of this ship was full of information being transmitted by the adjudicators' union, from the candidates' materials to the orders of the higher-ups.
You know, this 12.8 billion bit encryption system was only started by the adjudicators' union this year!
On the largest light screen, more than a dozen candidates were playing at the same time, among which there was a short-haired girl about eleven or twelve years old, who was very cute, with a delicate little nose and a pair of watery eyes.
In the picture, she said to Xia Fei while chewing a snake-eye berry, "Does this fruit taste like chocolate?" ”
