Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Mastermind of the Base
"Sure enough, it's really troublesome. Whining at Moria in the Pavadiga lingua franca, Shul let out a deep sigh, "Our troops did evacuate the K-45 system in November 3550 (what the hell is it), and the base is now vacant. However, on March 29, our group of 34 returned to K-45-3 with a special mission, so it was necessary to borrow your forward base. ”
"Task content. ”
"According to Article 22 of the Code of Secrecy for Classified Operations under Protocol XVII, when emergency use rights are exercised, there is no need to explain the details of the mission to the other party for tasks with a secrecy level of B or higher. Shuer said a lot with a serious face, as if he was endorsing, "Our mission is classified as A, which is in line with the scope of application of this clause. ”
"It is impossible to determine the authenticity and needs further verification. ”
"Time is of the essence and it is not possible to present you with a written report, if you need it, you can connect to the communication line and contact the X-9-31 Base Master Brain 256 directly, the B3 communication port is now open and ready to accept your contact request. Shuer was very calm and confident, but his heart was extremely entangled, after all, no matter how strong his psychological quality is, he will be like him when he speaks a string of terms that he doesn't understand, "In addition, our party is all human and psionic aliens, and we can accept your z-ray scanning test to verify our race." ”
"The race meets the criteria, but the camp cannot be determined. ”
"Supplement 3 to Protocol 17 stipulates that both our army and the Free Wind Army will be treated equally if they are in a forward base in the Fallen Sector. Shul said with great certainty, "Therefore, the race meets the criteria, and the faction is not affected." ”
"Drop", the prompt sounded, and the door of the hall slowly rose upward, "The application has been approved, welcome to you, human allies." ”
"Thank you. Glancing at Moria, the two calmly walked out of the door, "May I ask ...... you are?"
"K-45-3 Base Mastermind, %#¥&. ”
"Very good name. Xiuer nodded solemnly, as if he really understood the name, "Soul Clan Mastermind, may I ask, don't you need to verify your identity?"
"In February 3551 of the general calendar, the Zerg captured the planet's ground base, and during the war, the information pipeline of the main base was damaged, and most of the regional functions were invalid, and it was impossible to carry out Z-ray scanning verification. ”
"Then you let us in. Shure asked thoughtfully, "Aren't you afraid that we are liars?"
"The basic scan is complete, and it is not a Zerg pretender, and the logical judgment is passed, and the person with the highest authority in the base has the right to approve your application for use. ”
"The most privileged?"
"The highest authority is extended down according to the military rank, and when there is no member of our clan present, the mastermind of the base is the highest authority. ”
"It seems that Wei is the same, that's why he thinks of me as a commander. Shur solved a question, and asked with a smile on his face, regardless of whether the mastermind could see it or not, "So, what facilities can I use now?"
"You can use any facility except the energy center and equipment center. Although the voice was cold and the behavior just now was very unfriendly, the current base master brain showed quite cooperation, and the cooperation even surprised Shure a little, however, he was immediately disappointed, "However, most of the nodes cannot be connected, and some of the connectable nodes cannot exist in physical form, so for you, only four areas can be accessed and used normally. ”
"Whew, I'm in trouble. "We need to find a special place, which should be an open area, at least three hundred meters in diameter, where there must be no shelter, not only for buildings, but also for additional equipment. ”
"You're going to study that sudden spatial anomaly?" If it were a human, it would have been a surprise by now, but the voice of the base master's brain couldn't hear the surprise, "Unfortunately, the base can't provide you with the relevant research equipment." ”
"No, no, no, there is no need to provide any equipment, just show us the space...... Abnormal...... The point is fine, and we can solve the rest ourselves. Shuer's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Moria, and said with the excitement in his heart, "It seems that you know where the anomaly is, the master of the soul clan." ”
"In ...... Human language should be translated as nursery. ”
"Huh, nursery?" Xiuer was confused, there was such a thing in the front-line heavyland?
"A special place to store a mechanical body waiting for our members to enter. "Human language has no nouns to which it translates to the most similar nouns. ”
"Well, that's appropriate. Shuer shook his head and smiled, this artificial intelligence is really creative, "There should be a lot of mechanical golems in the nursery, no, mechanical bodies, those are also shelters." ”
"In the war where the ground base fell, all the clansmen had entered into the body and entered the battle, and the nursery was now vacant. ”
Shuer couldn't laugh a little, it seemed to be a rather tragic battle, in the real sense of fighting until the last warrior fell, whether it was the same race or the same world, such a brave man who went forward and succeeded was worthy of admiration, at least worthy of Shuer's admiration.
Sighing softly, Shul bowed deeply to the empty place with one hand to his chest, expressing his respect to the dead, although Moria didn't know why, she cooperated with Shul to make the same action.
"Is this your human etiquette?"
"Etiquette of the home planet. "Shul is a pun," used to show respect. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Heh, I am also a warrior, so I think I have a feeling. Shuer shook his head, "Excuse me, can you take us to the nursery first?"
"The base is seriously short of energy, and it takes energy to open the door to the nursery every time, so it is recommended that all of you enter after you have assembled. ”
"The others are still waiting at our base, and the two of us are the advance team, and we need to verify that the location you mentioned is the goal of our mission. So I'm sorry, but we have to go in first. ”
"The energy necessary to maintain operations is the highest priority, and the base cannot cooperate, but you can manually open the entrance. ”
"Well, it's just an open door. Shuer frowned and said, "Wasn't the door to the place where we teleported in just now opened easily?"
"The entrance to the base is an automatic door without safety level, and the energy consumption is negligible, but the entrance and exit of the nursery room is the highest security level gate, and it takes a lot of energy to open it, so using an emergency manual opening device is the most energy-saving way. ”
"Okay, I see. Shul tapped his fingers on his thighs and nodded with a smile, "Then please show us the way." ”
"Follow the left passage all the way forward, enter the circular corridor, and break away from the ...... by the third branch" The Soul Clan base seems to be very large, and the main brain said for a long time before pointing out the direction of the nursery, and finally explained, "When the base is not damaged, you can go directly, but now many areas cannot be opened, so you can only go around." ”
"It's okay, it's not bad to take a detour, just visit. Shul shrugged indifferently and pulled Moriath into the passage indicated by the mastermind.
"We had a great time. Inexplicably pulled away by Shuer, Moria didn't resist, but said with a smile, "What did you all say?"
"The third branch is, hell, the base is so big. Finally able to communicate in the lingua franca of Pavatiga, Shul complained as he ran, "The base is quite beautiful, it would be nice if it could be smaller, otherwise if you really choose to break away from the otherworldly projection here, after a few days when the group of ordinary people come in, it will take more than an hour just to run over, which is too much time." ”
Wei really didn't lie, the soul clan people really like the feeling of spaciousness, it's just a passage, it's dozens of meters wide, and it can make a group of knights form a formation group to charge, with a room that is hundreds of meters wide at every turn, if you want to reach your destination, you have to run for several kilometers around and around, I really don't know how the people of the soul clan usually live.
The main color of the interior of the base is also bright yellow, and the walls are full of light and mystery, walking through the base, both sides are full of never-before-seen facilities, as if you are in a magical world, dizzying.
"If it's smaller, without the right environment, the projection door won't be here at all. "Moria didn't care too much about the magical environment around her, after all, as a race favored by the goddess of the forest, Anika, she had witnessed various miracles many times for more than a hundred years, and she was no longer surprised by the novelty, she was concerned about another question," you guy changed the subject again. ”
"Okay, okay, I explain. Anyway, there was no danger around, and Shuer didn't hide it, and simply retold the conversation since he entered, "That's it, I barely found an opportunity." ”
"These terms were all told to you, I said, when you talk to that mastermind, how do you speak more fluently than usual, you should recite Wei's original words. ”
"Oh, I made a request, and she taught me sentence by sentence, otherwise how could I know. ”
"Still, the races in this world are strange. Lin Jing asked curiously, "These are all military fortresses, they are so easy to open to other races to use?" ”
"How can there be such a good thing, the loose terms are limited to the frontline base, do you know what the frontline base is?" Shure sneered, "The so-called frontline base, especially refers to those bases that have been abandoned in the territory that has been captured by the swarm, just like the fortress we live in now and this base, there are no soldiers anymore, and the basic operation is completely maintained by artificial intelligence, and it will not last long before it will be captured by the swarm, or completely lose its function due to energy exhaustion." ”
"For all races, the forward base has no use value, rather than putting it there to waste, it is better to squeeze out the last value of it and selectively open it to the Allies in exchange for corresponding benefits. So...... Well, here it is, here it is, I feel it, the special fluctuation of the projection gate. ”
At the end of the passage, a metal door was crossed in front of the two of them, no wonder the main brain was reluctant to open it, the pure metal door forty or fifty meters high and nearly a hundred meters wide was also very thick, and it really took a lot of energy to open it once.
"I can be sure that the projection door is inside. It was good news, but Shul looked melancholy, "But this thing has to be opened manually? ”
