Chapter 37: Self-Explosion

'Bang! ’

With one last shot, a pair of armor fell to the ground.

"Hu ......" looked at the armor that fell to the ground in front of him, and the virtual people present breathed a sigh of relief.

After the previous 'Old Armor Self-Detonation Incident' has passed, these armors seem to be much less combat-capable, moving more slowly, and not attacking......

While the team was able to resolve it lightly, the crisis was not.

'Hum-' A muffled voice still rang out inside the battleship, and in the previous briefing, it seemed that the reactor had been activated.

"Hurry up and take a look at the reactor!" The captain and the team members here only caught their breath for a moment and hurried out.

And Lynn hadn't gone out with them, but was here to check on some things, mainly the armor.

The pom-pom is breaking through some of the shattered armor here, and the reason why the armor is accused can be found in the core......

In the main control area, there is a ten-centimeter metal sphere that feels like a parasite sticking to it, and the surface of the ball has some sharp 'claws' that pierce into the core of the armor.

And these spheres do not look like self-destructing.

Lin disassembled an orb that controlled the armor, and found only a very simple structure inside...... A sheet of metal.

This thing seems to be sending a signal to the armor through the claws that the guΓ² orb pierces into the core of the armor, but it should only be able to send simple commands, so there is no need for this thing to self-destruct, as it is of little value on its own......

It can make such things, though. Indicates that it is well aware of the appearance of the Voidman's armor structure, and the position of the attachment is very accurate, and it will not cause damage to the armor core......

But. Lin thought it was a little strange that the armor was completely sealed, and except for the bullet hole that had just been ejected, Lin didn't find any other exit, as if the ball had been inside in the first place.

And the material of this ball is also a metal material commonly used by the virtual people......

No, is this a ...... Created by the Void Folk themselves?

I see. It's a possibility, and it's easy to know if you look into it, probably when the armor was produced in the factory. The sphere was mixed in.

Of course, there is another kind of thing that mixes in, and that is something that can cut off the flesh and blood of the void people, leaving them with only skeletons.

But these things are no longer here, it seems to be after the flesh has been shaved off. has already run out of the armor. And the flesh was also thrown out with them, and Lin thought it should be those running balls she had encountered before.

Those little balls before...... It seems to be made of metal commonly used by the Void People.

These things may have something to do with the general...... However, Lynn felt that she should check elsewhere.

Thinking about this, Lynn let the pompoms fly out of the room, and quickly flew to the place where the captain had just goneβ€”the room where the reactor was located.

This place...... The distance is close.

After a few turns, Pom-pom saw the door to the reactor, the entrance was open, and it was remembered that only high-level access to the reactor room should be granted.

Because this is the most dangerous place for the entire battleship.

"Nope! Can't stop! "After going in a little bit. Lynn heard voices coming from inside, and two rooms appeared in front of the pom-pom.

This voice came from the room on the left. After the pom-pom flew in, he saw the five imaginary people.

The walls of this room are full of video installations, and various images show the state of the reactor, the temperature, and various problems.

And, of course, there's the operation panel, where a virtual citizen is nervously operating, while the captain and the other three look at it with anxious expressions......

"Ahh That wacky fluff ball! ”

One of the voidants screamed at the sight of the pom-pom, and the captain said, "Leave it alone, can you stop the reactor?" ”

"No way!" The virtual people who were operating said: "I can't stop at all, if this continues, this place may explode......"

Lin flew over to take a look, and saw that the display board on it showed a countdown, and the cooling system had stopped, and the virtual citizen seemed to be unable to operate no matter how he tried it.

"Beep! The command was canceled and the permissions were insufficient. "When the operator tries to shut down the reactor or stop the countdown, this prompt will pop up on the video.

"You're the only one on our team who specializes in equipment, don't you understand?" The captain asked anxiously next to him.

"I don't know why! Our armor should have the highest clearance! The operator said, "Captain, should we retreat?" I should warn the army outside, there is danger here. ”

The captain hesitated for a moment, then said as if he had made up his mind: "Okay, withdraw ......"

Suddenly, one of the players shouted, "Wait, captain, look at that ball, it seems to be trying to do something!" I remember it was the ...... that broke the armor that was about to blow itself up."

"This ball is weird." The captain looked at the pom-pom suspiciously, "What is its origin?" ”

"I don't think this ball can stop this!" The virtual people who were operating said, "Captain, let's go!" ”

"Of course you can't stop." The pom-pom slowly flew to the head of the Void Folk who was in operation, and then uttered the Void Citizen's language, "Because it was set from the beginning. ”

"Huh?" When the pom-pom was spoken, all of them screamed in surprise.

"Can it talk?" "Who are you?" "What the hell are you?"

"Leave that alone!" It seemed that among all the imaginary people, only the captain reacted to what the pom-pom said, and it quickly asked, "What do you mean by setting?" ”

The pom-pom stretched out the fluff and pointed to the 'lack of permission' on the image and said, "When it was manufactured, it was already set like this. ”

"Originally, there was an 'automatic safety system' in this place, but after the automatic system, there was another setting, which was to start the reactor after a certain period of time after the safety system was activated, and the 'self-detonation' program was started."

Lin discovers that the Void uses a new type of reactor, and the energy production principle is different from the 'old' one that Lin has found on meteorites before, but their equipment has a lot in common, they both have a cooling system, and it is very easy to install a self-detonation function on it.

"What?" The virtual people present were shocked again, and the captain said, "How is it possible to set up such a system? ”

"But." Pom-pom didn't answer the captain's question, and continued: "You can turn off this system, but you need permission. ”

"We're already the highest authority!" The captain said: "It's the authority given to us by the general, how can it not be enough?" ”

"But it can't give you supreme authority." Pom-pom said: "If its authority is 'Level 1', you can only get the possibility of 'Level 2', if it is really the highest, you can investigate anything here, which it does not want to see." ”

"What the hell are you?" One of the virtual people raised his weapon and said to the pom-pom, "Is it a machine used to talk?" ”

"Lay down your arms!" The captain pushed away the weapon, and then said to the pom-pom, "What do you think we should do now?" ”

Pom-pom said, "Contact the generals and let them give you the highest privileges, so that they can be turned off." ”

"Contact?" The captain said: "But there has been a problem since the contact just now, and there is no way to receive the signal from the outside!" ”

"Use this." Pom-pom grabs something out of the fluff on Fluff and throws it at the captain.

"This ......" the captain looked at the block in his hand and said in amazement, "General emergency communication device? How did you have this? ”

"Stole."

Although the captain of "......" was puzzled, when he saw that the various danger indicators of the reactor on the image were constantly approaching the danger point, it didn't care so much, and quickly opened the block.

The way to open it is to press it on the side, and Lin found that the virtual people like to use this kind of block to talk, but this block has many abilities that other devices do not have, and one thing is that the communication ability is strong, and the general can use this to talk to distant places in the underground bunker.

However, this thing can only be contacted at a fixed point, for example, this can only contact the general's base.

"General! We must ask for the highest authority! The captain opened the cube and shouted inside, and almost as soon as it finished speaking, the general's angry voice rang out: "How did you get this thing?" ”

"That ......" The captain was stunned for a moment, and then said: "General, there is a big problem here, there is a problem with the reactor, and it is about to explode!" ”

"What?" Suddenly, there was a shout of extreme surprise: "How is it possible! ”

I see, this has nothing to do with the general.

Hearing the general's words, Lin was basically sure that although the general was not here, she could feel his feelings from its language.

Lynn thinks that 'the reactor is set up with a self-detonation system', and it is possible that this thing was done by the general.

But looking at its reaction now, it should be impossible, and it should be impossible for the general to want this place to blow up, after all, it is the latest warship it is building with all its might.

If so...... The problem must be in the construction of the warship.

"Only the highest authority can stop the explosion!" The captain said, "Please send me the highest authority!" Otherwise, the entire battleship will be blown up, and it will spread to the surrounding places! Hurry up, it's going to explode in thirty seconds! ”

"You ......" the general seemed to hesitate a little if what the captain said was true, but it quickly said, "The communication device you are holding can be unlocked by touching the operation video." ”

"That's it?" Hearing this, the captain immediately took the block in his hand and put it on the operation video.

"Beep! Permissions unlocked! (To be continued......)
