Chapter 62: The Gates of Hell!
As the distance approaches, you can see the tips of the dense chimneys in the distance, which are spewing smoke very crisply, and the top of the chimney even occasionally bursts into red flames. The hundreds of clouds of smoke and dust gathered together, like a giant gray snake, winding in the sky and coiling into the distance.
There is no doubt that this quintessential 18th-century spectacle of heavy industrial pollution in England is where the Hell's Mén Base is located. Extracting Pandora crystals from the ore involves a complex process. With this sign, I quickly rushed along the deafening sound of mechanical engines and motors, and saw a grass-green giant machine at least 100 meters high working in a mine.
This is the largest excavation machine that mankind has ever seen: the bucket wheel excavator (B***
It has a two-kilometer-long giant toothed wheel, reaching a height of 20 meters, and can grip the rock face as tightly as if it were chewing on the rock face, and can easily crush plants, wood, and even rocks, and from a distance it looks like a small mountain of mechanical beasts moving slowly. Behind it, a deep ravine with a depth of 50 meters and a width of 100 meters will appear.
On the side of this grass-green mechanical behemoth, a long line of hell giant trucks with mí color sè is lined up, the back of this truck is entirely made up of a huge 1ù day wagon carrying the initial processing material of Pandora's ore, which appears to be sturdy and durable, and the cab is compressed into a space the size of a telephone booth to the left and right of the front of the car.
Although they may seem small compared to bucket wheel excavators, once you get close to the giant truck, you will notice that its sturdy, behemoth wheels alone are two adults tall, ensuring that it can easily pass through Pandora's thick deep earth brushes and rocky terrain, and can resist the threat of Pandora's creatures. The sporadic arrows that are up to two meters long on these tires speak volumes about the reliability of these tires.
A little closer, even the Hell Truck had no armor and could block small arms hits, but larger and sharper objects or heavy fire should be able to penetrate its armor.
It can be seen that, at least for now, the Na'vi of Omatikaya are still quite civilized, and it seems that their protest is only aimed at the tires with a few arrows, rather than aiming the arrows at the members of the cab.
As the team walked up the dirt and stone road built for the Hell Truck, he spotted a rumbling Hell Truck and grabbed the suspension ladder next to the cab and climbed up. The driver is also a big-eyed black girl, who looks very similar to Xie Wa, the protagonist of Resident Evil V's NV, and turned her head and gave her a suspicious look. The black dude knocked on the cab window and tossed a piece of gum in, "Hey, beauty, I know you're going to give me a ride, after three hours and eleven minutes of trekking through this damn jungle, you and your car are completely cuter than angels in front of my eyes." ”
What is surprising is that the black buddy was not rejected, maybe it was really the xìng sense of thick mouth that he had been bragging about that had played a role, he got into the car triumphantly and then sat in the driving seat and waved at Fang Senyan and them, and then disappeared behind the corner cliff with the smoke from the exhaust port of the hell truck.
Since he is a model, many contractors have followed suit, but Fang Senyan, who has limited charm, did not touch the nails, but directly climbed to the top of a hell truck to be accompanied by ore.
Because of the low gravity of Pandora, the big guys like the Hell Truck can also drive fast on makeshift dirt roads. At this time, the Hell Base had begun to take shape, and in the distance you could see the tall reinforced hún concrete permanent watchtower, on which the black dòngdòng cannon could shred through any uneasy element on the ground or in the air. All contractors at the base are not heavily inspected, and it appears that they are doing their regular job to avoid bringing some unknowable infectious disease into the base.
The Hell Mén base looks like an irregular square from the air, with a total area of square kilometers, and the safety of the insiders is ensured by a tall and sturdy wall that is 3.9333 kilometers long on all sides, and of course there are various automatic machine gun towers on the wall, there is a permanent guard tower every fifty meters, and there are people on duty on it, Fang Senyan conducted a visual inspection in the gap between the queues, and it is basically certain that the material of the wall is about three meters thick steel hún concrete. ..., as can be seen from the blood stains and bullet holes around the wall, in addition to the cannons, the towers of the walls are also equipped with ground-to-air automatic heavy weapons to deal with the unfriendly wildlife on Pandora, and there are also small towers every 5o meters to eliminate the invasion of some small creatures. Outside the wall, a 3o meter open field was created that was regularly and automatically cleared by machinery, digging deep trenches and heavily mined to prevent the invasion of certain digging Pandora creatures.
When the contractor's feet reached the surface of the Mén base of Hell, the Mark of Nightmare finally gave a hint, "You have successfully reached the Mén base of Hell. ”
"Warning: The use of violence in the Mén base of Hell is a very dangerous thing to do, and it is best not to do so, remember every word above.
"You have gained the trust of the subsequent battlefield side quest: Mén of Hell." ”
"Mission Objective: Raise your reputation within the Rda base to Honorable within seventy-two hours." (Your current reputation is: Neutral.) Prestige, in that order, Neutrality, Friendliness, Respect,
Reverence, worship)
, "Hint: In battlefield side quests, if you use items that can quickly increase your reputation, its effect will be reduced by 5o%"
"Hint: The first three contractors who complete this mission ahead of schedule will receive additional rewards. ”
"Warning: If you fail this mission, you will deduct 8 merit points!" ”
"Warning: If you decline this quest, you will receive a reward and return immediately. ”
, "Are you going to accept this task: yes/no?" ”
When he arrived at the inside of the base, Fang Senyan was very relieved: the base showed a phenomenon of being tight on the outside and loose on the inside, after all, once a crime was committed in this place, there was nowhere to escape. The perimeter is heavily guarded, and there are soldiers on guard at 25 hours (the duration of a day on Pandora), which is supposed to be to monitor dangerous creatures that may cross the fence or burrow into the ground. And the interior is very relaxed... This means that if Fang Senyan is forced to sneak into a certain laboratory and do something bad about taking blood from a certain test subject, the chance of escaping is also quite large.
At this time, the construction inside the base had begun to take shape, and not far away, several colonels with typical American GI style were already shouting loudly for their group to gather. Fang Senyan recognized at a glance the Colonel Miles Quach with a flat head, and the three clear scars on the right side of his head that were flushed red had successfully betrayed his identity.
At this moment, Fang Senyan even after maliciously speculating and killing him, most of them would fall, "Mecha Pilot Advanced Mastery Scroll LV7" Once the colonel sat on the amplified outer skull system mecha, his strength in ròu combat was undoubted, and in that battle, he even completely overwhelmed the NV protagonist of the seventh-order legendary creature Death God Beast, and in the end, it was necessary for the male NV protagonist to kill it.
After everyone had stood with their feet apart and straightened their backs in a collapsed military posture, the colonel did not speak, but looked at everyone with his piercing eyes like a bird of prey, as if scanning everyone with a full light, and only after two minutes said, "Maybe I should call my old friend on the Star of Entrepreneurship and praise him for his work efficiency this time, and he has sent us enough manpower" One..." Now my only question is: I wonder if you are the bāng lads we desperately need! ”
Speaking of this, the colonel paused, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and said, "Only those who obey orders and endure hardships will receive high salaries, benefits, and my favor." Listen, if any of you are a champion of Grace Augustine's chattering and peaceful, then I'll be generous enough to give you thirty seconds to disappear from my presence. ”
"So you need to choose a camp now." Fang Senyan said in his heart.
Obviously, although the entire hell is almost completely controlled by the RDA company, it is divided into two distinct factions, and the six factions are the advocate of the Avatar Project, and the host is Dr. Grace Augustine, who has been on this planet for ten years at this time, and most of them are scientific researchers. On the other hand, there were hawks, led by Colonel Miles Quartch, who felt that bullets, high-explosive yào and fighter jets could solve all problems.
At this time, Yuan Zhan took the lead in standing up, bowed slightly to Colonel Miles Quach and said, "Mr. Colonel, although I may cause your disgust if I say this, my heart and conscience tell me that I should protect this beautiful planet while digging out the wealth of the underground, instead of destroying it desperately, if you don't mind, can you tell me where I can find Dr. Grace Augustine?" ”a。
