Chapter 665: The Tunnel of the Raid
The so-called Ark Project is a plan that Miao Pu discussed with his team early on, aiming to build a new ship, and its purpose is to make the [Wolf Tooth Squad] regain the ability to cross the earth and sea.
Now, the specific content of the plan and the technical support Miao Pu has been completed and stored in the zài source spar and handed over to Kang Danian.
According to this plan, they will spend at least 1 month building a spar ship. It's not so much a boat as an oversized sheepskin raft. The guò fully enclosed shell and the large interior space are used to obtain buoyancy, while at the same time a large amount of energy is supplied, ensuring that the shell is strong to prevent corrosion by seawater. When its main body is completed, Miao Pu will arrange a set of thorny hearts inside, which will become the core of controlling and regulating all things. To put it bluntly, this ark is a submarine-style base.
Of course, as a non-professional, Miao Pu could not give the specific construction specifications of the spar ship, and the detailed design of the ship still depended on Li Guofang, the only professional in the team. The 57-year-old captain has already started planning for a new ship after the original sea ship was destroyed by a super energy storm that ravaged the underworld. In fact, the ark was written by him, but with Miao Pu's mastery of spar generation and processing technology, the hull material problem that had been plaguing the [Wolf Tooth Squad] was perfectly solved, and Li Guofang's new ship design was also changed again and again.
In addition to exporting personnel, rare materials, technology, and plans, this material exchange also focuses on the copy of the contract.
The copy of the contract is the ultimate means to control Liu Xiang and them, and Miao Pu handed over this thing to Kang Danian, so that Kang Danian has the ultimate hole card to manage these people. And this thing is also a guarantee, once he has an accident, the copy of the contract will become the only effective means to control the signatory, which is also a kind of arrangement that Miao Pu is aware of the disadvantages of the [Wolf Tooth Squad] (his personal importance ratio is too high).
Another is the replenishment of combat power, the Heavenly Hell Base and the No. 2 Base have received a new round of combat power replenishment from the Mountain Base, with a relatively large inclination to cope with the eventful situation in the Heavenly Hell and the consumption of future subway tunnel operations.
To Miao Pu's delight, the raiding of the Bo faction and the hawks' stations in the Heavenly Prison really gave him some benefits, the most valuable of which was a batch of plant elements: [Pump Core], [Guiding Pulse], [Deep Planting], and [Heavenly Gift].
[Pump Core] is aimed at the energy core of plant derivatives, a controllable energy engine, which can allow derivatives to self-regulate energy output, and better use explosive power and standby time (slow down the flow rate, reduce consumption),
[Pulse] strengthens the energy superconducting efficiency and reduces the operation consumption, which is also good for explosive power and standby time.
[Deep Planting] is currently the most useless, allowing tokens to gain the ability to absorb free energy from the outside world. Although it is very meaningful, it cannot be operated alone, and it requires a whole set of systems to cooperate. The increase of this system will greatly increase the structural complexity of derivatives, and after some comprehensive calculations, Miao Pu believes that the cost performance of using it for derivatives is not high.
The advantage of simplicity is that it is easy to fix, and it is not prone to problems. This is also the attitude he has always adhered to towards the research and development of tokens, and he attaches more importance to the rapid and effective external injection of supplements than the ability to recover themselves but is slow, and the current main combat force of the [Wolf Tooth Squad] [Moro], soldiers, and even shooting golems are all this way of supplementing.
Of course, there is still the value of [deep planting]. For example, reconnaissance and sniper derivatives are active outside for a long time. Then [deep planting] is very effective. Although it is also possible to carry energy knots, after all, there is a limit on the amount of energy they can carry, and it is more appropriate for energy knots to be used for emergency supplies.
Finally, there is [God's Gift], this new plant element is the most extraordinary, and it also surprises Miao Pu the most. It allows tokens to gain a random stat bonus or ability during their spawn. This element can make each token extraordinary, so that the token has its own characteristics and specialties on the basis of unity.
However, the cost of obtaining this effect is not small, once the [Heavenly Gift] is used, the energy consumed is 5 times that of the original. In other words, regardless of the material, the energy required to craft 5 normal tokens will only be able to create one token with the ability of [Godsend].
This kind of expenditure is naturally a bit painful for the mass production of cannon fodder monsters, but it is very good for Miao Pu, who is taking the elite route and preparing to mass-produce the exoskeleton armor of the plant monster system, and he can't wait to immediately rebuild the auxiliary body to feel the benefits of [God's Gift].
The acquisition of the four major mother tree elements has made Miao Pu earn a lot of money, compared with it, the effort to take in the two human teams has become worthless, and every point of the work of the two teams in the future can be regarded as net profit.
After an 8-hour rest, the action team that replenished the corresponding supplies set off again, this time with Liu Xiang missing from the team, but the number of shooting puppets increased from the original 100 to 160.
It has been 16 hours since I arrived at the forward base in the subway tunnel area again, and it has been more than 100 hours since the total destruction of the boss of the derivative monster wargroup in the tunnel. The derivative monster's cousin was unexpectedly calm, not to mention the blue-blooded people, Miao Pu could fully imagine the various situations of their secret **** wounds.
Having seen the biological production line of blue-blooded people, Miao Pu has a relatively clear understanding of the incremental increase of blue-blooded people. Even if the blue-blooded base here has the same production capacity as the blue-blooded base in Hell, it is about 10 per day, and 40 in 4 days. Miao Pu didn't think that this amount could make up for the loss of the previous battle with the derivative monsters.
Therefore, the current blue-blooded side is still short of combat power, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recover in a short time.
Derivative monsters are probably more likely to be diametrically opposed, they are numerous, and more importantly, they have the initiative, maybe while confronting the opponent here, they have already launched operations in other places, so the [Wolf Tooth Squad] can't afford to consume, and the result of consumption is very likely to be a sudden catastrophe.
However, Miao Pu did not intend to take the lead in attacking the blue-bloods because of this, nor was he prepared to find a frontier outpost where the derivative monsters might have zài in the subway tunnel area, and his plan of action was the same stupid way as ever - to analyze the operation of the energy tide.
Such a job does not require a large team, as long as a person who can be competent in relevant skills, such as himself.
If it had passed, he would have been on the road alone at this time, but after this period of adaptation, he now finally has a little bit of the consciousness of a commander. This kind of thing should not be handled by him personally, not only because "the son of a daughter can't sit down", but also because he can do more things in the rear.
So he sent a Mora to it.
This [Moro] carries a very expensive new device, the Source Crystal Neck Ring, this device can be seen as a clone of the [Machine Spirit], but it is actually fundamentally different from the [Machine Spirit], from the perspective of the principle of operation, this clone is more like an intelligent encyclopedia. It can only provide information that is in its knowledge base, but it cannot give a creature or opinion.
After sending [Moro] away, Miao Pu prepared to dig a new shelter, which was closer to the core of the energy tide and closer to the base of the bluebloods. The purpose of this is naturally to use troops against the blue-bloods more quickly and time-saving in the future, instead of spending a lot of time on the road.
Building a new Vault was a monotonous and tedious job, and it took the Wolf Tooth Team more than 3 hours to advance the Forward Vault to an area 5 minutes away from the Bluebloods base. The new shelter is the fourth shelter counted from the back to the front, not counting the forward bases, and it follows the transfer station scheme, and both No. 1 and No. 3 are treated as fake stations that mislead the enemy and are actually abandoned. 2 and 4 are built as real stations, and the specific situation is lackluster.
On the other hand, it was the reconnaissance of [Moluo], and the experience was thrilling. It relies on the method of changing channels to avoid the energy tide, so it has to take the source of the tide as a point, the source is like the sun, every minute and every second is releasing terrifying energy to the surroundings, and you can imagine how dangerous it is to pass through it.
The first phase of the [Moro] reconnaissance took more than 90 minutes, and the information brought back allowed the [Wolf Tooth Squad] to have a better understanding of the situation at the source of the energy tide.
After making appropriate adjustments to its equipment, the second phase of the reconnaissance began, this time taking a little longer, nearly 150 minutes, and generally smooth, with several important speculations confirmed, and the situation at the source of the tide largely revealed.
At the heart of the sewer area is a peculiar cube that at first glance looks indistinguishable from the silt tanks that connect the other passages, but the biggest difference is that each passage has a hidden space door at the edge. So much so that as soon as these spatial doors are opened, it will go from an ordinary hub to a multi-pronged nodule that can pour energy or matter in six directions.
The core of the subway tunnel is essentially the same, except that its structure is more complex.
At first glance, it looks like a three-way intersection, just like the other intersections in the subway tunnel area, but in fact it is a 360-degree rotating liner that corresponds to a total of 9 lanes at three sets of three-way intersections. At the same time, its interface with the channel is also a spatial door.
In addition, there is a substance in the center of this inner tank, a peculiar energy generator, which the [Machine Spirit] calls the [Heart of Ability].
The Heart of Ability is a Source Civilization creation, and its technical difficulty is extremely high, even in the Source Civilization era, only the best of the ruling class can create it. Its constituent materials are extremely rare, even rarer than the extraterrestrial meteorite iron of the Zhiyang Valley Mine. These two determine its quantity.
Part of the principle of operation of the [Heart of Ability], similar to the positive and negative poles of the electric current, it is itself the negative pole, and the space gate provides the positive pole, and every time the energy tide, the space gate opens, the positive electrode energy appears, and then the negative electrode energy of the heart of the ability is induced, so as to form an energy tide and gush forward.
Of course, this description is only for a better understanding of this phenomenon, and the specific reality is more complicated.
[Heart of Ability] itself has a certain microwave-like effect, which makes it very dangerous when it operates, the core area of the subway tunnel, in a way, like the inside of a high-temperature furnace, there is not enough resistance, and it will quickly disintegrate when it enters the range.
The Blue-Bloods used the [Heart of Ability] and the positive electrode energy, and they placed the collection rod, collection ring, and conduction channel in the core of the subway tunnel and on the edge of the passage outside the space door, respectively. Therefore, in each energy tide, intercept some positive and negative energy, although it is not much, but it is not expensive. Moreover, Miao Pu found that the blue-blooded people could have been more ruthless, but they didn't do it, and it can be seen from the number of collection sticks and collection rings they installed that they could have installed more, but in fact there were four collection rings and only two collection sticks.
After discovering these situations, Miao Pu began to think about a question: "What exactly does the derivative monster want from the blue-blooded people?" ”
If it's just to stop the parasitic blood-sucking behavior of the blue-blooded people, why don't the collection rods and collection rings be destroyed? You must know that the [Capable One] is also a multi-base, if you don't destroy the facilities, it is likely that the front foot will be wiped out, and the back foot will be resurrected. And if it wasn't for the blood-sucking behavior of the blue-blooded people in the subway tunnel, what would it be for? Could it be that this is just one of the [Mysterious Space Creators] comprehensive purge operation against the blue-bloods?
Miao Pu didn't think it was like it, mainly because the derivative monster was too brave in attacking the blue-blooded base before, and it was completely a way to do it at any cost. Is it necessary to be in such a hurry to clean up? Especially since this enemy has been blocked at the doorstep.
After thinking about it for a long time, Miao Pu didn't come up with a reliable inference, could it be that he, a relatively poor **, couldn't understand the mentality of the big tyrant?
At this time, [Moro] had already launched the third stage of investigation. This time it took longer, and it took nearly 9 hours to complete the reconnaissance on the premise of replenishing energy three times in the middle. Finally, the hard work paid off, and I really found the frontier outpost of the derivative monster.
The outpost is not on the same plane as the series of shelters they have built, and the quickest way to reach it is to rush into it when the core of the subway tunnel rotates to dock with the corresponding passage. However, this aspect is only suitable for a very small number of people, and the core of the subway tunnel with [Heart of Ability] is too dangerous.
After the investigation is over, it is a relatively boring period. The members of the team relied on the construction of the frontier base to pass the time, and the [Machine Spirit] further estimated, calculating the time and law of the passage where the subway tunnel core was transferred to the outpost of the derivative monster, in addition to the relative coordinates of the blue-blooded base.
Both of these are more complicated, mainly because the spatial structure of the subway tunnel area is the same as that of the underground waterway, which cannot be substituted by common sense, including gravity, sense of direction, etc., which are different from the outside world.
Fortunately, [Machine Spirit] has a good set of coping methods, so far, there has not been a big difference, and Miao Pu is also very confident in his next appearance.
At noon on the 5th day after the battle with the derivative monsters, the dismantling of the advance base was finally completed. The original piles of derivative monster corpses have been turned into various raw materials, among which the largest number of monster bones and flesh are processed into a powder as organic raw materials. Combined with the corresponding ability energy, this powder can recreate the energy mixture that the team had stolen from the energy network of the plant nest during the Underground Ruins. In other words, the derivative monster sent charcoal in the snow, and in one fell swoop solved the biggest problem of Miao Pu spawning a new flood desolate lair on the front line.
Soon after, the calculations on the [Machine Spirit] side finally came to fruition, and the team began a new round of excavation work.
The excavation was carried out in a shelter at the forefront. It stands to reason that this refuge is at this end of the tunnel, and the base of the blue-bloods is in front of the other end of the tunnel, which is not only more than 3,000 meters away, but also separated by a 20-meter-wide tunnel, and if it is dug straight up, it is impossible to intersect with it in any way. However, the [Machine Spirit] told Miao Pu very firmly, it was in this direction, and if he kept digging, he would eventually dig a tunnel to the base of the Blue Bloods.
No matter how bizarre this judgment was, Miao Pu chose to believe it, and he set the puppets moving, advancing at an average speed of 300 meters per hour.
As a result, this excavation allowed the team to successfully see some of the magic behind the scenes of the three areas of aggregation.
Spatial faults, like the gaps between the Rubik's cubes, exist in some kind of rule. But the excavation work passed through this dangerous fault, and the vertical excavation suddenly turned into a horizontal excavation, and the so-called change in gravity was unusually abrupt.
This is behind the scenes, if it is in front of the stage (in the tunnel), the transition of this fault will be much more natural, just like the rubber soft bridge of an old-fashioned bus, and a stretchable area is responsible for turning the original stiff and abrupt turn into a natural one.
Therefore, looking at the other end of the fault, you can see people standing on the side wall to excavate, and the excavated soil and rocks will not fall straight down, but are loosely piled on the side wall.
This situation was surprising at first, but it didn't take long for me to get used to it. It's really because this tunnel is much longer than expected, and there are as many as 4 faults through it, and after a lot of experience, it will be numb.
In 23 hours, the tunnel was completed, with a total length of about 6,500 meters, and the last step at the other end was not drilled, but it has been confirmed that it is a soil layer hardened by spars, which is similar to the soil treatment method of laying a foundation, which is used by the blue-blooded people.
The next thing is to wait, wait for the most opportune moment.
After the core of the subway tunnel once again ended its docking with the tunnel where the monster spawn outpost was located, the [Wolf Tooth Squad] on standby at the end of the tunnel launched a raid on the blue-blooded lair......
It was a perfect raid, and the Bluebloods had no idea that in such a complex area, an enemy could drive a tunnel more than 6 kilometers and in the right direction to the interior of their base. Straight down, but loosely piled on the side wall.
