Chapter 16: Unknown Forces
……
The computer in the body keeps repeating a message.
"Warning, warning, robot dog number three lost contact, robot dog number three lost contact".
Jin Yang was stunned, "What's the matter?" According to the time calculation, No. 3 was supposed to patrol the hilly area, but now it has lost its signal and cannot be contacted, what happened? ”
Puzzled, he stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and a stream of energy shot out from his fingertips, forming a virtual screen in the void, and his fingers dotted again, and the screen switched to a three-dimensional projection.
Sand dunes, Gobi, plains and other terrain and landforms appear very clearly in the air, forming a reduced scale holographic map.
At this time, on the map covering a radius of several hundred kilometers, there are several red and green bright spots in different areas, moving regularly, Jin Yang counted carefully, and there were only nine bright spots representing the mechanical dog, and the remaining one was missing.
"Sure enough, one is missing"
Jin Yang's six-meter-tall mechanical battle body stood in the open space of the maintenance warehouse, holding his chin with one hand, and fell into thought.
"Could it be a mechanical failure? No, after the ten mechanical dogs began to patrol one after another, there have been no mechanical failures and technical problems, even if there is, with the robot dog brain computer, the frequency of self-inspection every half an hour, will also be found, and sent to the computer in their own brain for processing, but did not receive any information before, then the possibility of mechanical failure is ruled out. ”
"What causes the signal to be broken? There is not even a little bit of information coming back, could it be that the No. 3 mechanical dog has been attacked? ”
One question after another lingered in his mind, but the current information was very limited, making it impossible for Jin Yang to make an accurate judgment.
After thinking about it, Jin Yang brought up the picture from the virtual screen ten minutes ago.
Because he wanted to develop a car bomb, he handed over the management authority to the high-performance computer in his head, and the computer kept sharing information with ten mechanical dogs at all times, and the pictures from the last few days were saved, which made it much easier for him.
I saw that ten zoomed out lenses appeared on the screen, all of which were video information sent back by the mechanical dog, and Jin Yang carefully looked at the images displayed above, focusing on the video screen of the No. 3 robot dog.
On the slightly shaky video, showing the current location of No. 3, the hilly area of eighty kilometers east of the castle, the undulating hills, so that the perspective is greatly affected, from the ground on both sides, it can be seen that the No. 3 robot dog is patrolling at an average speed, everything is normal, however, when the time points to a minute ago, the small screen representing the No. 3 robot dog is instantly filled with snowflakes, and the information is interrupted here.
Jin Yang's heart was shocked.
Judging from the information recorded by the computer, the No. 3 robot dog does not look like it has been attacked suddenly, and if it is sneak attacked, the camera will not be so stable, and he can see the flaws in the video sent back. The problem is that the camera is very stable all the time, and there is nothing unusual except for the slight shaking caused by the robot dog moving forward. ”
"The sudden interruption of the signal is more like electronic jamming, like the information storm caused by the electronic warfare aircraft on the earth and the anti-radiation missiles, could this be done by the Decepticons? Well, the possibility of the Autobot is not ruled out, after all, the robot dog has just been developed, and if the Autobot does not know, it is also possible to paralyze the robot dog for its own safety. ”
All of this is just speculation, and the specific reason is still unclear, but Jin Yang had to plan for the worst and give instructions to the nearby No. 4, No. 6 and No. 9 robot dogs through the computer:
"Four, six, nine, in a semi-encircled manner, quickly approached the xxxx area for close reconnaissance."
After receiving Jinyang's order, the three robot dogs, under the control of the intelligent program, quickly turned around, lined up in an inverted triangle formation, and drove to the area where the No. 3 robot dog disappeared.
Subsequently, Jin Yang sent another message to several of his subordinates:
"Immediately return to the underground warehouse".
The bumblebee, who was digging metal bricks on the hill-like garbage mountain, quickly stood up after a pause, and looked at Lan Gang, who had stopped what he was doing at the same time, and the Weilong and Mighty brothers:
"The boss sent a message, and you received it too, right?"
Lan Gang nodded and said:
"Boss, let's go back to the warehouse, let's go, meet with the boss first."
The two brothers of Weilong and Weimeng looked quite excited, they have been suffocated in the past few days, in addition to turning on the search radar every day, they are moving bricks everywhere, how can they stand it with their personalities? Because of Jin Yang's strong strength, he didn't dare to mess around, and now he finally doesn't have to work, and he is very happy.
……
Next to the workbench, Jin Yang opened the boxes containing accessories one by one, and picked out more than a dozen sets of well-preserved accessories from them and put them on the ground.
I was about to take out the energy source and put the metal fittings on the ground into it, but after thinking about it for a while, I gave up.
Staring at the pile of accessories on the ground, Jin Yang thought to himself:
"My current strength is too weak, and I don't have enough self-protection ability, so don't expose the energy source for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"These accessories can allow the bumblebee to fit them into the component space, once the situation is not good, they will leave the castle and go to other places to develop, and the accessories in front of them are spare parts, whether they are used by themselves and their subordinates, or assembled into combat weapons, they can play a great role."
In fact, Jin Yang is also helpless, through the disappearance of the robot dog, it can only be deduced that there is an unknown force approaching the castle, as for whether the other party is friend or foe, it is impossible to make an accurate prediction, the other party may be an Autobot, or it may be a Decepticon, even the strength of the other party is also a mystery, there are too many variables in this, he does not dare to gamble with his own life and the lives of his subordinates.
This has nothing to do with cowardice, in the ever-changing planet Cybertron, as a weak Autobot, if you want to live well, you must know how to make trade-offs, otherwise you are irresponsible for your own life.
When the situation is unclear, give yourself one more choice to be safer, of course, only in the worst-case scenario, Jin Yang will leave the castle, after all, he does not want to give up this temporary residence at will.
He had already thought about it, even if the person who came was a Decepticon, as long as the opponent's strength was not strong, he would definitely rush forward as soon as possible and kill the other party, if it was an Autobot, it would naturally be the best result.
……
When Bumblebee and the others came to the underground repair warehouse, Jin Yang pointed to the accessories on the ground and said:
"These are all accessories for junior fighters and auxiliary autobots, you can choose a few sets and put them in the component space, you can install as many as you can, and we will use them later."
Lan Gang, Bumblebee and Weilong Weimeng were all stunned, Jin Yang asked them to come back to do this? Isn't it good to put these parts in an underground repair warehouse? Why should it be loaded?
"Boss, is the Decepticons here?"
Lan Gang, who has the most calm personality, asked.
Jin Yang shook his head:
"It's still impossible to know for sure, but the No. 3 robot dog that was patrolling outside suddenly lost contact a few minutes ago, and no information was sent back, so I suspect it may be related to the Decepticons."
"So what are we going to do?" Bumblebee said worriedly.
The Weilong and mighty brothers next to them were very happy when they heard that the Decepticons might appear, not only did they not show the slightest fear, but they were very happy.
Wei Long laughed exaggeratedly:
"Wowha, the Decepticons are coming, it's so exciting, wait a minute, I must let them know that Lord Weilong is amazing."
Mighty also shouted:
"The barrel of my gun is already hungry ~ thirsty ~ unbearable, oh oh oh."
As he spoke, Wei Long Wei danced violently, jumping and jumping, which made Lan Gang and Bumblebee very unaccustomed to it, and they glared at them angrily.
For the two brothers who were crazy from time to time, Jin Yang was no longer surprised, and directly chose to ignore it, and then said:
"Whether my speculation is true or not, we have to be careful, be prepared, and if the situation changes, evacuate the castle quickly, and all right, let's get moving."
After speaking, he picked up the parts on the ground and put them into his component space, although Lan Gang and Bumblebee still had questions, they all chose to believe in Jin Yang, even the Weilong and Mighty Brothers were no exception, several Autobots formed a circle around, and kept stuffing the metal parts on the ground into the component space.
The component space of the junior transformers is not large, including Jin Yang, there are only eighty or ninety cubic meters, in addition to the original car components, plus the stored fire and some energy weapons, each Autobot only has three sets of accessories to be full.
When they couldn't let go of any more items, Jin Yang waved his hand:
"Target castle east, departure".
……
The eastern area faces the side of the plain, and the terrain within more than ten kilometers outside the castle is flat and unobstructed, and any force that wants to get close cannot hide, which is very advantageous to the defenders, and farther away, it is the sandy Gobi mixed with hilly terrain, which is also the direction in which the No. 3 robot dog disappeared, and if the other party wants to enter the castle, it must not be able to avoid their sight.
Jin Yang led several Autobots to a gap in the city wall and stopped.
The gap is more than 100 meters wide, and it is located right on the T-junction of the outer ring of the castle, and the road inside is wide, and it is undoubtedly the most convenient to enter the castle from here.
So he arranged for Bumblebee, Lan Gang, and the Weilong Mighty Brothers to lie in ambush behind the remnants of the buildings on both sides, and if it was finally confirmed that it was the Decepticons of the mad faction, then they could carry out a sneak attack on the enemy.
He himself hid and turned his attention to the computer in his head, focusing on the three robot dogs that were surrounding the target.
