Chapter 444: Improvising Equipment
"Ah, yes, I think so."
Thinking about what the concept of a thirty-meter-thick metal shield was, Long Yun could only raise his eyebrows in agreement, not to mention that even if he hid behind a thirty-meter-thick metal wall, he could only get close to the "dead city" to fourteen kilometers away, how could such a thick shield move forward with the scouts?
What the hell, is this just a joke!
Since this is the case, not to mention other materials, Long Yun knew that shielding this road would not work.
Since shielding methods have no future, what about other technical means?
Long Yun, who thought he had come with a well-thought-out and ingenious idea, walked through the huge workshop and factory building accompanied by the detectives and Zakaev, walking all the way through the equipment and tools of different shapes and functions, and then listening to the explanations given by the agents one by one, and then he really realized how detailed the investigation of the Rome General Office was.
In order to spy on the "dead city" shrouded in mysterious forces and unable for humans to set foot, KGB agents and technicians can be said to have tried all kinds of methods over the years, and tried all the technical means that human beings can use at this stage. In front of Long Yun, what he saw at this time was a six-wheeled remote-controlled reconnaissance vehicle in the shape of a lunar rover, which was remotely controlled by wires and control stations, and was equipped with optical reflectors and mechanical sampling equipment for easy observation; The detective explained on the side that he was planning to use the wire control method to drive the car to the surrounding area close to the "dead city" for reconnaissance.
"Oh...... This thing looks good! How's that, test results-"
As soon as he asked, he was immediately swallowed by Long Yun in the second half of the sentence. Because he remembered immediately. If you visit these devices can really be used. Then the General Administration of Rome may have already figured out the truth about the "dead city", so why bother for more than ten years and have always been at a loss?
Sure enough, hearing Long Yun's question, the detective replied in a whispered with some interest:
"Well, it turned out badly. Comrade Major General, the car you see now is just a real prototype car left by the project team at that time; I don't know why when I actually tested it. The mysterious power can even destroy electrical circuits, and the cars we sent out are completely unresponsive after advancing a certain distance, and they can no longer be recovered. ”
"Ah, that's right."
This terrifying mysterious power is so strange that even military-grade rugged circuit equipment can be destroyed?
Thinking of the equipment and equipment that he had just seen that were full of creativity but had lost their effect around the "dead city" without exception, Long Yun nodded with a heavy heart, sure enough, if any electronic devices could not be used, even the smart machines that were everywhere in the real world could only stare dryly.
All in all, after a long visit, Long Yun is now more convinced of his judgment: relying on instruments and equipment will not work. Therefore, whether the investigation is successful or not, you still have to try it yourself to find out. After returning to the office. After a brief exchange of views with Zakaev, and a consensus was reached that "there is no hope for the research and development of equipment at present", Long Yun continued to express his opinions:
"You see, Comrade Zakhaev, it was precisely because of the complete failure of electronic equipment that I had the idea of going on a trip myself. Without any electronic devices, it's impossible to get information remotely, right? As for myself, I'm just going to try it, and if I feel unwell, I'll evacuate immediately, so I can be safe. ”
"However, after all, many people have tried, and I am afraid that your words will ......"
Finding it difficult to persuade the ace major general in front of him to give up this idea, Zakaev's words sounded quite tactful, in fact, what he wanted to say was that "so many people have tried and can't get close to the 'dead city', and it is not only dangerous for you to run like this, but also in vain".
But the old man didn't know at this time, Long Yun, who had already made up his mind, of course would not be persuaded by this reason, and the two of them discussed for a while, weighing the pros and cons of the investigation action, Zakayev reluctantly approved Long Yun's plan of action, and also promised to coordinate the technical force of the General Administration of Rome to provide the necessary support for Long Yun's trip to the 0353 region from a relatively professional point of view.
Speaking of which, Zakaev was also thinking at this time, since Viktor Rezenov in front of him was holding an order signed by Beria himself, maybe there were some supreme instructions that could not be disclosed to himself? If that is the case, then the matter is simpler, just do as the Major General commands; If he can really manage to solve the mystery of the "dead city", it can be regarded as helping the General Administration of Rome to complete an important task, it will be great.
Seeing that the plan had been decided, without further ado, Long Yun immediately began to make preparations before departure, and went to the equipment warehouse of the General Administration of Rome with Zakaev to search for all the things that were available.
Walking into the spacious warehouse full of various materials, Long Yun saw a lot of new things that were not even available in the market, of course, these things were nothing in the real world, but they were the best spy and intelligence equipment in the parallel world; But alas, around the "dead city" where all the electronics failed, these devices were completely unusable.
To go to the forbidden place of the "dead city" to carry out the investigation, now he can only choose tools and equipment that do not need electricity at all, fortunately, after years of research and targeted preparation, the equipment preparation that has nothing to do with electricity in the Roman General Bureau is quite perfect, Long Yun found common items such as gas lamps, water bottles, and gas masks, and found reinforced tents and water evaporation extractors specially used in the Gobi desert area, in addition to cold fireworks that can be illuminated for a short time, this reliable equipment that does not rely on electricity is very suitable for "dead cities" It is used in such extreme environments.
After rummaging for a long time, there were only these things, but Long Yun didn't feel much disappointed: Originally, if no one could get close to the "dead city" at all, what was the use of preparing more equipment? It is estimated that the KGB has long since died and sent people to investigate this heart, so he has not put much effort into the equipment used by people, and now he can only make do with it.
"Comrade Rezenov, if you decide, I will contact the responsible department of the General Directorate in Central Asia; You arrive in Cherkar first, from where you can catch a vehicle to the 'dead city'. ”
"Okay, Comrade Zakhaev. - Oh, by the way, there's one more thing,"
I had thought about a question before, and at this time, Long Yun lost no time in mentioning it: "I take the liberty to ask, did you also go to the 'Rome' base before that tragedy?" Do you still have any memories of what it was like there? (To be continued......)
