ACT114: Ruins

"Unknown Titan Soldiers? Looks like something was dug up in the ruins of Astra! ”

The news of the defeat of the two divisions on the front line quickly reached Franco's ears, but he was not too surprised by the sudden appearance of a giant god soldier in the opponent's hand. The discovery of the ruins of ancient people in the Astra region is indeed a secret for ordinary people, but a high-ranking general of Franco's level is still very clear.

Before the rebellion, Franco had thought about giving priority to the control of this area, but the defender Duruti had always been at odds with him, and the local garrison had never been able to intervene. Now that the ruins have been dug up with the Giant God Soldier, although this has caused some trouble to Franco, as long as the other party does not dig out half a dozen in one go, his chances of victory are still very good.

"Don't worry about the people below, the other party only has one giant god soldier, we have two, and this kind of thing can't fight for a long time. As long as we keep the pace of steady progress, the victory will be ours in the end! ”

Franco knows very well that in the case of giant gods on both sides, a super weapon that can only fight for a few hours and then cannot be dynamic may be able to reverse the local situation of the war, but the impact on the entire war can no longer reach the strategic level. He believed that as long as Duruti was not a fool, this giant soldier would never strike again before the Republican army was exhausted.

And the fact is exactly as he thought, the "gentleman" giant god soldier retreated to the hidden underground bunker after only 10 minutes of attack. Restores the energy of the Titan at a rate of one minute per attack. It is necessary to shut down for 4~5 hours to recover, and this 10-minute operation needs to be shut down for nearly 2 days to recover to the best state.

However, this kind of thing does not affect Marta who is immersed in the excitement of "Hi Da Puben" at the moment.

The "revenge" operation was a great success, and the giant god soldiers made a strong debut. These two pieces of good news were like a shot in the arm, which cheered up all the soldiers and civilians of the colonial republican camp. But the foreign powers involved in the civil war were clearly more interested in the "relics" than the locals who were excited. It's been almost three hundred years since this world found a new giant god soldier, and now a new one has suddenly popped up, and it's hard not to be interested.

As soon as they returned from the front, Zhao Jian and Rezenov successively approached Duruti to understand the situation. Compared with Zhao Jian, who only euphemistically expressed "interest", Rezenov very bluntly put forward the request for "on-site visit". Duruti thought for a moment. Feeling that it would be better to be honest with his allies, he agreed to take them to the ruins, but only for the two of them.

Rezenov is currently the supreme commander of the Soviet Volunteer Army. Behind him is the representative of Moscow, and Zhao Jian is the representative of the Datang North Industries Group, and behind him is the Tang Dynasty, which is more powerful than the Soviet Union. The situation inside the ruins was clear to Duruttie, except for the giant god soldiers who had already entered the battle. None of the rest of the stuff seems to have any secrecy value.

"The ruins were discovered after an earthquake 10 years ago. At that time, the sewer in the west of the city collapsed, and the workers followed the collapsed tunnel to find a hole underneath. Since then, our country has been secretly developing this ruin, but there is no impermeable wall in this world, and I believe that your country's intelligence services must know about it. ”

Led the two into a heavily guarded building, the three of them took a mining elevator and sank underground. As the elevator descended, a throbbing gradually rose in Zhao Jian's heart, which felt exactly the same as when he had touched the pit station.

Plummeting down about 300 meters, Zhao Jian could clearly feel that the temperature around him was rising rapidly. At the same time, the humidity has also increased significantly. The bearded Rezenov was already sweating on his face.

"It feels so hot! And I said, Have you built a bathhouse down there? ”

"Actually, it's a hot spring. There are many volcanoes in the colony, so there are many hot springs. When we found the ruins, most of the space inside was soaked in hot springs, and the water temperature was very high, and some areas even reached the boiling point. ”

Soon the elevator was lowered to the bottom, and as soon as the three of them came out of the elevator, the first thing that caught their eyes was a straight corridor about 10 meters wide, and a heavy machine gun position was arranged directly opposite the elevator door.

"Lieutenant, prepare three sets of equipment for us, we need to go in and have a look."

The ruins are currently filled with a large amount of high-temperature water vapor, and the environment is almost like a cage drawer, if people do not wear insulating clothing, they can be steamed in a few minutes. The Spaniards tried to drain the water at first, but the efficiency of the pump was simply not as fast as the filling speed, and in the end they had no choice but to give up.

After a while, the lieutenant brought someone to push three sets of protective suits over, and Zhao Jian looked at the appearance of the protective suit, and said in his heart, Isn't this a space operation suit? This thing can weigh 50 kilograms in a set, and it's easy to say in gravity-free space, and wearing this in a gravity environment is no different from masochism.

"Finally, are you sure you want to go in with me?"

Patting the helmet of the protective suit, Durutti's inquiry made Zhao Jian and Rezenov look at each other, and finally nodded in agreement. Anyway, they have already come down, it's a pity not to go in and take a look, it's just a few dozen kilograms, and both of them are very confident in their physique. And when they started wearing it, they found that the original protective suit had been treated with weight reduction, and the actual weight was nearly half lighter than the space version.

After putting on protective clothing, the three of them officially entered the ruins through two isolation doors under the leadership of several ruin staff, and the environment inside was indeed as steamy as Duruti said, and the mask of the protective suit was instantly covered with a layer of white mist, and it was necessary to rely on two small wipers on the brim of the hat to maintain their vision.

Looking down at his feet, Zhao Jian found that they were stepping on a glass-like translucent ground, and there seemed to be some text-like patterns looming on it, so he leaned down to check, but as soon as his palm touched the ground, a feeling of "electricity" instantly spread all over his body along his arm, and then the originally dull ground lit up.

"Y-What did you just do?"

"I ...... I just had a strange feeling that someone was asking me to touch the ground, and I just touched it. I wonder what this is all about, too! ”

Several people present stared at Zhao Jian with an "innocent expression" on his face for a while, and finally chose to believe him. After all, this kind of incident is not uncommon in the ruins of ancient people, and when human beings explore these ruins, many new discoveries are thanks to the "gods" who owe the bear children, so everyone did not blame Zhao Jian on the ground, so that he successfully confused the past.
