Chapter 682: Crisis Water World
To be honest, Miao Pu is very happy now, this kind of love has not been experienced for a long time, because he thinks it is a good start. In the real research institute, there are indeed alternative treasures to be excavated.
Regarding this harvest, Miao Pu didn't want to swallow it alone, he would hand it over if the time was right, after all, it would be beneficial to the entire human group. It's not that Miao Pu is noble, it's just that Miao Pu, who thinks he is a part of the human race, certainly hopes that in this disaster, humanity will win in the end. Of course, turning it in does not affect his use at the moment.
Speaking of which, Miao Pu now feels more and more like a cow that eats with his head down, the fresh grass of knowledge is swallowed by his mouthful, and then finds an opportunity to regurgitate this knowledge again, chew it carefully and digest it slowly.
This is roughly his plan for his future life, and even the main career he will be engaged in in the second half of his life. If he chooses two more side jobs, plants and military, he thinks it should be these two, the former can allow him to have an ordinary career as a cover, and the latter can allow him to improve his military literacy, so that he can make up for the lack of his wild background. He no longer had the luxury of hoping to stay away from fighting completely, he only hoped that in the future, elements of danger and combat would not be as frequent and fierce as they are now, and he felt that this goal could still be achieved.
Miao Pu has returned to the large research institute, Li Xuesong and the others are still waiting for him in the A1 area, and the research institute has not yet been explored.
Originally, the main passage was to lead to the periphery of the underground ruins and eventually to the core of the ruins, but this is obviously unlikely to be the case now.
The logisticians who have been trained from the captured blue-bloods cultivation materials are excellent, and they are engineers, architects, and mechanics of the source system who have abandoned multi-purpose in their preparation and only specialize in logistics construction......
After ten hours of hard work, the living area has been basically completed, the general construction of the A1 area has also entered the final stage, the protective shield is about to close, the barrier of the main passage is about to be completed, and the energy station has a preliminary defense capability.
When Miao Pu came back with the [Sunspot], Li Xuesong and the others had already completed the cleaning of the entire B-layer area. The architectural layout of this area is relatively simple, mainly all kinds of large-scale real rooms, which are completely controlled, and the research hardware system of the large-scale research institute can be regarded as in hand.
However, Li Xuesong and the others also reported some bad news about Miao Pu, there are almost no monsters on the B floor, and there are no traces of battle. In addition, the first area of the A layer to be swept is also in a similar situation, and there are various anomalies in the previous exploration of the C area, which means that the probability of dangerous concentrated outbreaks is very high.
"Zone C is a very problematic place in itself." Qian Lihang explained: "In this large research institute, the living area is at the forefront, Area A is the administrative, office, general control and other functional facilities, and Area B is all kinds of practical rooms. According to our original information, Area C should be an ancillary facility area. Power, water and water supply, etc., are all in this area. Only a small fraction of them are new facilities that have been added and expanded temporarily. But the truth is that it's almost a complete and self-contained facility area. ”
"Yes, indeed." Miao Pu also felt the same way. There was a senior researcher's dormitory in Area C, and it was there that he obtained the hard drive and the Yama Tree samples. In addition, in the power room before, Qian Lihang mentioned that several special areas that require ID card swiping are also in Area C. There are also areas that do not match the data, such as the two areas of the standby control room and the material library, according to the data, it should be a very simple layout, with channels and functional facilities, which belong to the kind that is clear at a glance. But in reality, they are two large, separate units.
Fortunately, the last time the group entered Area C, Qian Lihang obtained the latest map of Area C, which gave them a more comprehensive understanding of here. However, the focus of the group's visit this time was not Area C. Miao Pu has never forgotten what the original intention of the exploration of the mysterious passage is. Exploring and finding the passage to the next brick space is the theme of the mysterious passage exploration. Comparatively, solving puzzles and digging for treasure is still secondary.
If Area C is the kind of area where it is easier to see the bottom limit, Miao Pu doesn't mind using the momentum of thunder to sweep the caves, add another area to control, and harvest valuable materials or information at will. But the current situation is that the water in Area C does not seem to be shallow at all. So, Miao Pu chose to stake the land, first enclose the land, and as for all the inappropriateness inside, wait for time and then slowly sort it out.
In line with such a principle, Miao Pu's trip is two points, the first is C7, which is the area bordering Area B with fewer expansion channels and facilities, mainly around the columnar spindle space and opened up rooms. According to Miao Pu, this layer will be completely crystallized to act as an insurance buffer between C and B areas. Only in this way can Miao Pu be assured of the safety of Area B and can send logistics personnel into it to carry out various operations. Due to material limitations, the number of androids is limited, and Miao Pu does not want these producers to lose anything.
Under the action of the Hive Bomb (like the Barrier Bomb, both of which are used in the crystallization of earth-based energy), the entire C7 seems to be amberized, and all the space is filled with crystals of the Hive structure.
This structure is hollow, yes, and the weight per unit volume is far less than that of rock and steel, but it is unusually strong, 17 times the standard solidity of military fortifications, and the adhesion ability is also good, and there is a certain expansion function. Theoretically, as long as there is enough energy, it can extend indefinitely, crystallizing its containment and all the material around it. Of course, this process may be calculated in ten, hundred, or even thousand years.
After the crystallization is completed, the connection between Area C and Area B is only a step channel, and the rest including ventilation, water supply and water supply are blocked, and the power pipeline is also blocked, so that the line is completely embedded, which is tighter than the line pipe buried in the wall commonly in the family, not to mention the monster, even the air can't pass.
Subsequently, Miao Pu summoned the logistics team to set up a sealed hatch and a monitoring system on the C7 ladder. Since the templates are ready-made, the installation process is very fast, and it is basically done in half an hour.
After that, Miao Pu and his entourage went to another point, the power area. Similar to the method of dealing with the C7 area, the power room is completely sealed, so as to strengthen the protection of the power department. As for the problem of maintenance, the maintenance channel is left, but it is very limited, and the parts really need to be replaced by aging and damage, and there is naturally a way to partially remove the filling of the honeycomb bomb, but at present, it can only be operated by Miao Pu himself, and it has not yet been popularized to the generalized Cheng dù.
Of course, even if this is done, there are still hidden dangers in power transmission, such as the transmission line between the power room and the C7 area, which is likely to be damaged. It's just that such losses are already within Miao Pu's tolerance, and troubleshooting is relatively easy. What's more, as an energy station, the dependence on the power room is not high. A large number of electric power equipment in the two areas of AB want to operate normally again, and it is not known what year and month it will take, and the team does not need it for the time being, after all, there is already a perfect source equipment system, and the development potential is worth looking forward to.
It took less than two hours to get to Area C, and Miao Pu was satisfied and led the exploration team to immediately rush to the main passage of Area A to explore the new area.
Walk through a fortress-level portal and enter new uncharted areas, like stepping into a savage world from a fortress that represents civilization. Darkness and the unknown have become the most obvious themes, and even the temperature has dropped to a level that is unbearable for ordinary people, minus 70 degrees, and every minute and second can make people die.
"Jiao, if the skin is directly exposed, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death immediately, right?" Qian Lihang glanced at the comprehensive display number jù (energy content, oxygen content, temperature, humidity, wind speed, etc.) inside the helmet, and the source technology is an application embodied in the chart number jù that modern humans are more accustomed to. He couldn't help but shudder, he didn't directly feel the power of the cold, this kind of temperature can be used to think about it, and it will kill people if he feels it.
Hu Yantie looked at the road under his feet, the asphalt road that had been expanded from the research institute was broken, and the front was only a rough and smooth rock and soil road, but it was originally supposed to be a cave tunnel mode, but now it is a wilderness and boundless darkness, and there is no end in sight when the flashlight shines on the past, which is particularly empty, which makes people feel a sense of shock, and thus realize their own insignificance.
Although Miao Pu also has feelings about the environment here, it is more of a bad premonition.
Sure enough, after a short time on the road, the road was cut off.
It is not necessarily true to say that it is completely cut off, there is still a way, but this road can be called terrifying even for his strength. It was a broken bridge, this bridge floated quietly in the void, it was surrounded by darkness that could not be seen, and the fragments of the bridge were no longer on the same level, some were high and some were low, some were close and some were far away, and those fragments were some big and some small, the big one was simply a complete bridge, and the small one was all kinds of stones, and he even saw that one of them was simply gravel, and the largest was not as big as a fist.
The bridges were eerie, they were suspended there, emitting a faint glow of energy. This light is almost invisible visually, but it is still relatively perceptible with energy perception.
"Shall we walk this bridge?" Qian Lihang couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not, we don't even know if the bridge will reach the other side, we won't use it until it's repaired, it's too risky." Miao Pu's decision made the others secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As Miao Pu said, they also felt that this road was too dangerous. Running around without getting enough information and without proper protection is a joke with your life, and it's a twisted void as deep as the universe.
Miao Pu didn't give up at this time, and led the team to find other possible roads, but they soon found that this place was actually not as vast as they imagined, its total area was more than a dozen football fields, it was like a super-large terrace, hanging in the distorted void, because of the lack of God's perspective to get a glimpse of the whole picture, but Miao Pu always felt that this and the other two places (the passage, the top floor of Area A) were not as simple as directly exposing the [capsule space]. Of course, even so, the void here was as difficult for him to conquer as the skies of Earth were to prehistoric humans.
Actually, Miao Pu's feeling is correct. All the building blocks are wrapped in a layer of liquid energy, which is like the atmosphere on the earth. The energy of this layer of enveloping is thick in some places, thin in others, and can flow, and in the area it encompasses, some characteristics of the [Capsule Space] are revealed, such as cold and dry, but it is far from being as bad as the real [Capsule Space]. The real [Capsule Space] is even more desolate and void than the universe, and there is at least energy here, but this energy is generally difficult to use.
Miao Pu, who found that he was on an isolated island, could only settle for the next best thing, and began to try to repair the bridge after the logistics team completed the construction of the energy station. And before the bridge was passable, they had to go and completely complete the C area of the large research institute.
Soon, the group picked up on the progress of the previous expedition and arrived at the waterlogged area of the area where the backup control room on the C1 floor opposite the power zone was located.
The stagnant water in this layer was not excreted as expected, but from the knee when Miao Pu left, to the current Cheng dù who was not above the ankle. As for the other two layers below, they are naturally still soaked in water.
Qian Lihang's connection equipment was inspected and said, "It seems that the drainage pipe is blocked." ”
Miao Pu nodded, he saw a large number of plants underwater, not to mention all kinds of objects soaked in water, it was not surprising that the drainage pipe was blocked. He decided to start by destroying the monsters. Soon after, the group discovered the monster with the strange tail pincers.
The monster's body is not large, the Tibetan mastiff is general, and it looks like a velociraptor in appearance, but it simply has no front claws, and its strong and powerful hind legs are also a little awkward. He pondered that perhaps it was because of these two legs that the monster could swim in water at a depth of meters without showing its head and back, and that it could stand up to 1 in height. About 5 meters.
Everyone opened fire, and the monster that didn't die in the first place screamed and pounced.
Miao Pu looked at it and said in his heart that this head is really economical! There is no nose or eyes, only a mouth and ear holes.
"Whew!" Miao Pu was shot in the head. However, the monster's skull was so hard that even a single shot from the name failed to pierce its skull.
The monster that was shot by Miao Pu fell slightly, and as soon as his head fluttered, he was about to bite again, but it had no chance, and a wave of bullets from the machine gun in Hu Yantie's hand swept over, and the monster was immediately beaten into a hornet's nest.
The battle ended in two minutes, but the group was very impressed by the monsters, not only because of their peculiar appearance, but also because of their rough skin and thick perverted defense, each of them had to be shot at least ten shots before they hung up, if it was replaced with the firepower when they first entered the underground ruins, except for Miao Pu, a random monster, I am afraid they could put themselves in a desperate situation.
Shortly after this, they took out another group of monsters. This batch was rushed out of a certain room, and there could be more than a dozen heads. Miao Pu and the others thought that this room might be a monster's lair, but after destroying the monster and entering, they found that it was not the case. So I wondered, why did the monsters gather in this room?
With this question in mind, the group turned back and conducted a brief examination of the monsters that had just been killed in the passage, including dissection.
As a result, not long after the beginning, I saw the water under my feet flow quickly in the direction from which I came, and then I heard the rumbling sound of water.
"Come in the house, Tide." The first to react was Li Xuesong, and it was Miao Pu who deliberately fell into the last action.
Sure enough, when he retreated into the house, he saw that in the passage, the turbid waves of the flood peak completely filled the passage, and spurted and swept over to this side.
The door to this room has long since been broken by monsters. But even so, it was able to avoid the frontal slap of the turbidity waves.
However, this rolling wave was not naturally generated, although it did not directly involve Miao Pu and others in the water, but the diversion and influx of water was extraordinarily strong, forming a water burst like a water dragon.
But this is not the end, the water is like a living thing, after washing everyone down, it actually takes advantage of the trend of the return to roll everyone out of the room.
Fortunately, people have realized that this water is greasy at this time, Qian Lihang directly threw a barrier bomb at the door, and the crystallized energy wall formed by the explosion of the bomb was like a guillotine to isolate the water in two, and the flowing water that wrapped around everyone like tentacles immediately lost the power of the bundle, and fell into ordinary water.
Miao Pu knew that the crystallized barrier could not withstand it for long, at most it was to breathe a sigh of relief, so they reacted quickly, a group of 4 people back to back, rope fastening, increasing the ability to resist the impact of the water flow and ensuring that no one would be left alone.
At the same time, the water waves hit the crystallized barrier, and the barrier cracked, just like a ship sinking into the deep sea, and the deep sea pressure acted on the cabin window glass, Miao Pu's group was at the front, this room was like the standard room of many express hotels, the entrance section was only a meter wide and narrow, and the width of the group of four people was enough to be stuck without being taken out by the light yì.
Bang!
The barrier shattered, and the turbidity wave blasted like a giant hammer, and everyone turned on their energy shields, but they were not injured, but they were still inevitably swept away, but as they expected, the entrance to the room was too narrow, and when the water rolled back, it didn't take them out.
After this wave, a large amount of water poured in, and in a matter of moments, the entire room became an underwater world. For Miao Pu and them, they were not as depressed as they were just now. Their armor has its own respiratory circulatory system, and there is no problem of drowning. Moreover, the soft, hard and soft armor system takes into account the force of external pressure, so although the water pressure is extremely high, everyone does not feel uncomfortable.
"This water pressure is really not small, and the initiator's ability to control water is really violent!" Miao Pu looked at the water pressure number and was secretly frightened. He gestured to the others, meaning to let them stay here, and he was going to swim out and have a look.
In this special water, his perception is greatly limited, and he can only risk his life. He couldn't even guarantee his own safety, so he naturally didn't want Li Xuesong and them to rush out. Shattered, the turbidity wave impact blasted over like a giant hammer, and everyone turned on their energy shields one after another, but they were not injured, but they were still inevitably swept away, but as they expected, the entrance to the room was too narrow, and when the water rolled back, it did not bring them out.
