Chapter 224: Wormhole
With a rhinoceros chariot leading the way, they detoured around the road at high speed and drove towards the town of Lizhu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, in the corner of the community, the man who was injured by Nuwa was standing on the roof of the building, his wounds had recovered, holding the bullet that had injured him in his hand, looking at the rhinoceros chariot.
His eyes are blue, and the other mutants have red pupils. He jumped directly from the eighth floor, and after his feet hit the ground, he pressed five or six centimeters of footprints on the concrete floor, and the surrounding area was covered with cracks.
Then people shoot out like arrows off the string, and the speed is like a speeding sports car.
The iron ore mine in Lizhu Town, surrounded by steel walls, has a battalion of soldiers guarding day and night, and there are many workers working here in the mine, of course, at this time, it must be the precious red iron ore that is digging at the risk of their lives.
As soon as the two cars arrived outside the gate of the fence, the people standing on it immediately shouted: "Listen, people in the car, park your car in the parking lot on the left, bring your weapons and supplies, get out of the car and enter the green iron gate to hand in your weapons, and then undergo a physical examination, and we will give you protection, food, and water." ”
If it was an ordinary survivor, of course he wouldn't mind, but Ye Guchen didn't like to be disarmed, and his purpose was red iron ore, and he couldn't get what he wanted in it, so he asked Nuwa to drive to the yellow mud road on the right.
The soldier on the fence frowned and shouted again: "The parking lot is on the left." ”
The soldiers shouted several times in a row and did not respond, the soldiers frowned, but they didn't say anything, they had already encountered survivors who were unwilling to disarm, many of these people chose to leave, and they did not stop them, watching the rhinoceros chariot leave.
Wei Rui's car didn't feel strange, they all thought that Ye Guchen was a person from the big base, so naturally they would not accept disarming here, and they could see that Ye Guchen didn't want to take them with them, so they all followed the guidance of the soldiers, drove to the parking lot, and then took weapons and lined up one by one from the green door next to them.
The rhinoceros chariot went around to the other side of the mountain, there were many sections of the road where it was no longer possible to drive, the three of them got out of the car, Ye Guchen took the rhinoceros chariot back and scanned the terrain here and said: "Nuwa, scan this mountain to see if there is any red iron ore." ”
Nuwa nodded, walking around the mountainside, her eyes scanning the deep layers of the rocks, Ye Guchen and Zhicong following on guard.
After circumventing the mountainside, Nuwa stopped and said, "The red substance attaches to the surface of the mountain, slowly penetrating from the surface of the rock, and this mysterious substance is not only changing the characteristics of the iron ore, but also splitting. ”
"You mean to say that the Red Devil virus multiplies underground and spreads deep underground." Ye Guchen said.
"Yes, it's a slow process, and in a few hundred years, you don't have to worry about the earth being affected, but a lot of new metals will appear as a result." Nuwa said.
"How much red iron is there?" Ye Guchen asked.
"There is red iron ore in this area on this mountain, and preliminary calculations show that there are 470,000 tons of red iron, and only about 47 tons of red iron are refined into red iron, and there will be fewer high-purity red iron." Nuwa said.
"10,000 to 1, it's really rare, but it's enough for us to use, I'm mining here, you guys are on guard." Ye Guchen pointed the ring in his left hand at the position designated by Nuwa, and the ring immediately emitted light, and the three-level collection technology could collect the materials needed within ten meters and suck them into the material processing room.
This gathering speed is thousands of times faster than digging by hand, and the stones touched by the light will turn into tiny stones and fall, while the red iron will be absorbed.
After lasting for more than an hour, a hole more than 30 meters deep was dug on the mountainside, and Nuwa followed behind, constantly scanning the surrounding structure, marking the location of red iron ore for Ye Guchen to collect.
Zhicong stayed at the entrance of the cave, looking outside in a daze, and sometimes took out mutated jerky to eat.
"After this time, I must build a robot for special collection, and my arm feels paralyzed." Ye Guchen stood in front of the stone wall, raising his left hand and joking.
"Now you are in dire need of crystal nuclei, base car technology requires a lot of energy, and there are various supporting technologies, you still have to think about where to get so many crystal nuclei. The further back you go, the more energy is needed. Nuwa grinned, she liked Ye Guchen's mood very much, and she felt very funny.
Ye Guchen spread his hands and was about to continue chatting, when Nuwa suddenly showed a surprised look and shouted, "Stop." ”
Ye Guchen was strange, but he immediately stopped collecting, and after the blue light disappeared, Nuwa pointed to the wall in front of him and said, "There is a lot of space in the back, I see many, many insects, red worms, and purple-red beetles." ”
Ye Guchen frowned and asked in a low voice after approaching the stone wall, "What is the thickness of the wall?" ”
"11 centimeters, inside is a nest of bugs." Nuwa whispered.
Ye Guchen took out the spiral cone blade, and after the blood touch was covered, it shot out at the stone wall, and the ordinary rock touched the spiral cone blade and was penetrated like tofu, and it didn't make much noise, and it drilled a fist-sized hole.
He lay at the entrance of the cave and watched, but unfortunately it was dark inside, but he could hear the sound of many insects crawling inside, and after knowing that it was insects, hearing these sounds would definitely give goosebumps all over his body.
Ye Guchen walked outside, released the rhinoceros chariot, and activated the bee-type reconnaissance plane inside, this wasp-like reconnaissance plane could fly through the hole, and they could see the situation inside through the camera of the reconnaissance plane.
After the wasp-like reconnaissance plane flew through the hole, a green picture appeared on the display in the car, which was the night vision effect on the camera.
There are several openings in the cave that lead to various places, and there are many beetles about one meter in diameter carrying red iron ore, all of which are sent to the largest hole in the middle.
Ye Guchen controlled the bee-type reconnaissance plane to enter the passage, and after about 20 meters of distance, he saw another cave, which contained many larvae with a body length of more than one meter, which were eating away at the red iron ore piled inside.
Two of the other holes are larval burrows, seven are the nests of purple-red beetles, and the largest one in the middle, the bee-type reconnaissance plane, has seen the huge worm, which is more than 3 meters tall and more than 8 meters long, and has been laying eggs under its huge abdomen.
Ye Guchen was just about to take a closer look, when suddenly the screen shook, and then the screen turned into a snowflake, and the control system showed that there was no target.
"These insects feed on red iron ore, the number is very large, it is impossible to estimate, once it is loaded, the people here will not survive, and the creatures of the entire Lizhu Town will die." Nuwa said.
"I don't have the time to save the people of the whole town, you analyze the red iron content of these insects, feed on red iron ore, and their bodies must be full of red iron elements." Ye Guchen showed an excited look, which was much faster than collecting.
Nuwa scanned the nearest red beetle through the hole, and after a while, she said in surprise: "It's so high, it's even higher than the purity of the red iron you extracted, this thing is full of red iron elements, and the red iron in the larvae will be much less, but the content and purity of the adult worm are very, very high, it's just a moving red iron." ”
Ye Guchen licked his lips and said, "We have new work to do." ”
"Wait, there's bad news, the collection site on the army's side seems to be about to dig a wormhole, and at the speed of their excavator, it can dig inside in about half a day, do you need to remind the people over there?" Nuwa asked.
"Reminder? I'm afraid they will take our kindness as a provocation. Ye Guchen has seen a lot of such people, and he often thinks of other people's kindness as having intentions for himself.
"But if we don't stop it, we'll have trouble hunting these things after the wormholes are opened. If it is in a closed environment, you can develop targeted chemical toxins according to the body of this insect, and you can kill these things in a large area. Nuwa said.
"Okay, I hope you don't meet someone who is too stupid, you and Zhicong will stay here, and I will go alone." Ye Guchen didn't want to face the insect swarm by himself, otherwise he would have to evacuate, so he wouldn't be able to collect red iron here.
"Well, be careful yourself." Nuwa nodded, and Ye Guchen came to the mine from the foot of the mountain in a half-circle.
