Chapter 018: Tunnels

The three who were rejected walked out of the abbot's courtyard with Hong Ye, preparing to disconnect all the energy supply here first.

However, they were not particularly disappointed, after all, whether these old humans were evacuated or not had little impact on the outcome of the mission, it was only a matter of time before they found Dr. Shimizu.

Le Meng and Li Dapeng did not know the specific details of the search target, and they had only come to assist in the operation, strengthen the encirclement and coordinate the cooperation between the law enforcement team and the local people. Even after Li Dapeng helped introduce Hong Ye, his task was completed, and he continued to accompany him just out of curiosity.

As the cross-border law enforcement team with the highest authority in this operation, that is, Lu Qian's department, they did not come overnight to disturb the old humans on the mountain, but waited until the Old Human Affairs Administration sent someone to negotiate, and there was a reason why they were so leisurely.

According to Hu Beibei's words, it is equivalent to the volume difference between a ten-centimeter-long No. 3 standard potato and a six-centimeter-long No. 4 standard potato, and the energy that can be stored and the equipment that can be loaded are very limited, so limited that if he wants to live, he can only stay in Huazang Temple.

The mountains are high and the forests are wide, and Lu Qian is not worried that Dr. Shimizu's prosthetic body can absorb solar energy, so it will only be exposed to hundreds of sets of reconnaissance equipment in the sky.

And she didn't worry about Dr. Shimizu finding a cave or crypt to hide all the time, it was impossible, unless he died, he would inevitably come out to replenish his energy.

This is due to the fact that the prosthetic brain cannot be powered off, and if the emergency battery stored in the prosthetic brain is depleted, then the prosthetic brain will die physically and philosophically.

Even if Dr. Shimizu went into a deep sleep, according to the experts of the law enforcement team, he would run out of power in 12 days at most. Although the prosthetic brain can generally recover some of the data when it is reconnected to the power source, this is only a physical resurrection, and philosophically speaking, the previous personality has completely dissipated.

With the Federation's current technology, of course, it is completely possible to create a prosthetic brain that can be physically resurrected. However, that would be meaningless to the user himself, and would cause many ethical issues, so such a prosthetic brain did not pass the review of the Celestial and Human Administration and was put into use.

If Dr. Shimizu is caught by them, the most likely thing is that he will be locked up alone in a high-level world, because although he is engaged in forbidden research, he does not have many accusations of vicious crimes, and he is completely unable to commit it, and he would rather be scattered than hide without showing his head.

Therefore, although the cross-border enforcement team has deployed a lot of manpower in order to keep the place under strict control, it appears to be calm and unhurried during the search. In their plan, as long as all energy supply is cut off, Dr. Shimizu doesn't need them to look for it, or he will turn himself in in a few days.

Hong Ye took Lu Qian and the others to the distribution box, and on the way he explained: "Our power plant is built in the belly of the mountain, and in terms of depth, it is close to the foot of the mountain. Not only Huazang Temple, but the entire Emei District is powered by this. ”

"The power plant uses a third-generation magnetic confinement fusion reactor built 200 years ago, and its design life is more than 100 years old. If the pile is stopped, it will affect Yamashita, and it will be very troublesome to operate, and it will be even more troublesome to restart. ”

"So if you only need to disconnect the power supply to Huazang Temple, you can cut off the line from the distribution box in the climbing elevator. However, the mountain elevator is also located on the side of the mountain, and your emergency contact desk is not available, so why don't I go in alone and turn it off? ”

Le Meng frowned slightly, this one-meter-nine man heard that the contact desk could not be used, and he did feel a little withdrawn.

Because although theoretically this mission is not very dangerous, it is too insecure to be unable to connect to the Wi-Fi in the mountain elevator, just like ordinary people when their eyes and ears are completely blindfolded. However, let Hong Ye cut off the power supply alone, he is not at ease, what if the evil ghost runs down the elevator?

He didn't know much information about this mountaineering elevator, and now it was guarded by the cross-border law enforcement team, thinking of this, he turned his head slightly to look at Lu Qian.

Lu Qianhun waved her hand absentmindedly: "It is impossible for our law enforcement team to always attack when performing tasks, this situation has been encountered a lot, I will go with you." As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Li Dapeng and the others: "You may not have much experience with this, so it's okay to wait outside." ”

Li Dapeng laughed: "I have taken this mountain elevator many times, and the power plant in the belly of the mountain has to be inspected several times a year from various departments, so I am quite familiar with it, and I will go in with you." ”

Le Meng was helpless, so she had no choice but to say that it was okay, and slowly walked down the mountain road behind the three of them.

The highest exit of the climbing elevator is one line lower than the Weituo Cliff where Lu Qian shot down Dr. Qing Shui's horned prosthesis, but on the other side of the mountain, it is a deep tunnel that leads at a slight upward angle to the belly of the mountain to prevent flooding.

If Dr. Shimizu had known about this place beforehand, there was a chance that he would have escaped into this place before he ran out of energy.

Hong Ye explained to the three behind him that the elevator was built more than 300 years ago, and the entire project took nine years to complete. It was in the dark years of demon rule, and it was still a lively tourist area, and it is said that the elevator was able to receive 20,000 visitors in a day at the peak of the mountain.

At the entrance, there were two law enforcement officers from the Northeast Squadron guarding the entrance, and after greeting a few people, they handed Lu Qian a set of individual auxiliary equipment that could be used in such a semi-enclosed space.

The personal terminal is a ribbon that resembles a hairpin and is divided into several segments. Lu Qian encircles it from the back of her head to the front of her eyes, and it can transmit sound through the occipital bone into the inner ear, and can also provide night vision and dynamic annotation in the dark.

Then there is a swarm of electronic dragonflies, which follow several people into the tunnel, leaving one behind at all turns as a signal relay. Due to the limited size of the relay equipment, it cannot effectively send and receive the theoretically unlimited bandwidth 'quantum optical band' commonly used in the unlimited network, otherwise the sympathetic module will not be unusable.

Hong Ye saw another electronic dragonfly behind Lu Qian break away from the team and dock on a mine lamp, seeing that the elevator room was about to arrive, he asked a little strangely: "Miss Lu, why is your colleague just guarding outside, and not worried that the evil ghost will infiltrate the elevator shaft through other means and give us a ride?" ”

"That can't be." Lu Qian denied it without hesitation, and then patiently explained: "We tracked the evil ghost last night, and we have captured his trajectory and confirmed that we have entered the Huazang Temple. ”

"And with the speed at which we laid the encirclement, and the performance of the reconnaissance equipment, if he wants to enter the tunnel, he will have to drill at least 9 kilometers from a depth of fifteen meters underground, which is inferred from the energy and equipment he can carry."

"In addition, we have been monitoring the path along the transmission line, and he has no way to charge it in the middle of the way, and he should not have the equipment to directly use the high-voltage electricity used for transmission to charge."

After saying this, she sighed with some regret: "If you are willing to evacuate, we can use a better active fluoroscopy device, so that he can be scanned even if he is hiding a hundred meters underground." ”

Active fluoroscopy devices are harmful to the human body, and the old humans who are unwilling to evacuate have restrained the hands and feet of the law enforcement team.

Hong Ye sneered a little awkwardly, and found a plausible reason for Lu Qian not to be too angry about this: "Actually, even if we can evacuate, those wild animals can't evacuate either." There are still many rare animals such as Tibetan monkeys in Emei District, which occasionally go up to the top of the mountain, and some even build nests nearby. ”

Given the importance that federal countries, especially China, attach to the ecological environment, Hongye is indeed right to use this as another reason not to turn on the active perspective device. It is impossible for humans to move wildlife habitats without causing destructive impacts.
