Chapter 96: The Cambrian Mastermind
As a demonstration, Lin Xi threw the corpse of a strange beast into the processing machine. The processor roars and rotates, and then several different outlets begin to spit out different materials continuously. The flesh, bones, teeth, and internal organs are classified, each accounting for a piece, and the whole process is less than a minute.
The lancers are very familiar with material handling, and some people have already come to take all kinds of raw materials, send them to the base, and then carry out further processing.
At present, the research and utilization of alien beasts have reached a very high level, with a utilization rate of more than 90%, and there are few unusable wastes.
Chu Jungui had long been accustomed to it, but Rose stared at the alien beast processor left and right, and finally said, "You guys have always come over like this?"
"Of course. Otherwise, where will the supplies and ammunition come from? Lin Xi said as he threw the new alien beast into the processing machine.
Rose didn't answer, emptied the tractor, and returned to the battlefield with Chu Jungui to collect the corpses of the strange beasts.
When he walked out of a distance, Chu Jungui asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"
Rose shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just a little unexpected." At Shadow Keep, we don't do that, and we don't have time to do it. ”
"It's normal. You have a steady stream of supplies, from supplies to soldiers, and of course you don't need to study that. Otherwise, the fighters will have to retrain on how to master new weapons. But we're different. Our landing ship crashed, and the guides who landed earlier were all wiped out by themselves. If we don't know how to use the materials of this star, we won't survive a day. ”
"Of course I know that. However, there is one thing you may not know, and that is that researching how to use the materials of this planet is not that simple, especially here, and the difficulty jumps directly by several levels. ”
Chu Jungui was a little surprised, "Impossible, isn't it? When Roland surrendered, he also contributed an armor plate formula that combined with the materials of this star, which was much ahead of our research. Isn't that what you're doing?"
"There aren't many results in the entire Shadow Fortress, and that recipe is one of them, and it's the result of intensive research. You must know that there are at least a dozen scientists in different fields in the Shadow Fortress, who are trying their best to analyze various materials on this planet, but in fact progress is quite slow. For example, in the case of alien beasts, there is no other progress except for bone grinding as a raw material for base construction. ”
Chu Jungui frowned slightly and said, "This is unreasonable. Although our agent chips are advanced, after all, they are limited by volume and energy supply, and there is a limit to computing power. If the Federation doesn't have a chip of the same grade, I don't believe it. ”
Rose nodded and said, "I don't believe it either." But after all this time with you, I find that my consciousness is slowly becoming more awake. It's like...... Wake up in the morning with a cup of strong coffee. ”
"Is this your problem or is it a common phenomenon?"
"In the case of the Shadow Fortress, it seems to be a common phenomenon. ”
Chu Jungui pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, the danger of this planet has to be reestimated. You should leave, you shouldn't have come to us. ”
"I also have some regrets. Rose sighed.
The two subconsciously sped up their movements. The more supplies, the more security you can have.
The Shadow Fortress, the central command hall is busy, and a new spherical instrument is being carried into the command hall and placed in the center of the hall.
There were originally more than a dozen different base command posts here, but now they have been emptied and moved to other rooms.
Both Joseph and William stood on the second floor, silently watching the installation of the new instruments.
Engineers removed its outer packaging, revealing a massive silver metal sphere nine meters in diameter. There are countless fine lines on the surface of the sphere, and if you look closely, they are spliced together. Judging from the workmanship alone, this metal giant ball reaches a very high level.
After the engineer puts the ball in place, he opens the interface on the ball and inserts hundreds of fist-thick cables into the ball.
Beside Joseph and William, there was also a tall, thin old man. His gray hair was messy, his eyes were deep, and his face was gloomy, and he obviously hadn't rested much in recent times.
He took the information board and introduced, "This is a newly designed Cambrian Brain, which can withstand the highest level of EMP shock. It uses a full line of data transmission, and all the cables we see today are able to withstand EMP shocks up to level 2. At the same time, it also integrates the latest vibration data processing unit, which, together with 2,000 sensors implanted under the fortress, can capture and analyze abnormal vibrations within a radius of 500 kilometers. As the data it collects increases, the analysis mode can be further optimized, and the final detection range can exceed 1,000 kilometers. ”
William didn't look so happy, and said slowly: "The defense and detection functions are not bad. But why did you get a Cambrian if it cost so much money? If I remember correctly, isn't this an antique from 110 years ago?"
The old man said: "Planet 4 has a special environment, and the daily environment here is equivalent to being within the impact range of a level 3 EMP bomb. At the peak of the magnetic explosion, it can even exceed the core strength of the Class 1 EMP. No mastermind can work in such an extreme environment, not even with all the existing protections. After countless tests, only this particular version of the Cambrian Brains was able to withstand the onslaught of magnetic explosions here. It's better than nothing, although it has limited performance. ”
"What a hell of a place!" Joseph couldn't help but curse.
A trace of resentment flashed in the old man's eyes, and he nodded, "It is indeed a hellish place." ”
"By the way, is our return ship ready?" asked William.
"You, no, it's us now. Our return spacecraft is still on the drawings. ”
"What?" Joseph jumped up at once, "Still on the drawings? Didn't you say that the progress was already over 40%?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "This time, the progress display standard has been adjusted, and the progress of the drawing stage is 70% in total. ”
Joseph's face was gloomy, he grabbed the old man's collar and said coldly, "You dare to play tricks on me?"
William stretched out his hand, took Joseph's hand down, and said, "Calm down, maybe the people above are playing tricks on us, but not Professor Herman." Otherwise, the professor wouldn't be here. ”
Joseph reluctantly let go.
Herman gasped, straightened his messed collar, and said to William, "Thank you." ”
William said, "Professor, since you know that you can't go back if you come, why do you still come? If I'm not mistaken, you shouldn't have volunteered." ”
Herman's face was ugly, and he said, "Half of it was willing." When I came, they promised to settle the rank of colonel for my only son. And if I don't come, then a series of investigations will await me. ”
William smiled and said, "Old-fashioned. But that's okay, I think you're lucky this time and you should have bet on the right direction. ”
