Chapter 12: Squirrels and Birds
A group of seven people saluted and said goodbye to the veteran robot.
From the moment they knew that the base was 700 meters above the ground, they knew that there might be no chance of returning.
Unless you find a new source of energy, and then use the flying machine that sent these people out of the house and bring it back.
Otherwise, they may be considered the last time they will see each other in this life.
The training time is not long, but it is only seven days, but the meaning is very important.
Because, here is theirs, a new beginning, a new life.
In front of them, these three veterans have implanted their ideas into the robot system and have maintained this base for 200 years.
After they woke up, it can be said that in the state after birth, he spared no effort and selflessly gave them help and solved their doubts.
Let them feel like they are facing their fathers.
However, the outside world cannot support the consumption of such robots, and without energy, they can only separate here.
This parting may be forever.
No one can guarantee that energy will be found, and no one can guarantee that the next group will be found.
They don't even dare to guarantee that these seven of them will survive outside.
Because of the classes they have taken for 7 days, in addition to training them in the use of equipment and self-defense skills, the rest of the time is to introduce the outside situation.
And after each class, the three veterans would leave them a message.
"The outside world, in a constant and rapid change, is changing with each passing day, and with it comes danger, the danger of never changing.
This change is unpredictable, so you have to be flexible when you go out. ”
Indeed, the information they have received in the past few days has completely subverted their original perception of the world, and the memories of the 23 years they left before do not feel applicable to this world.
It's a newborn world, a world that has been reborn from the shell after the Great Destruction.
Li Shuixin, she is the most psychologically fragile one among the 7 people, wearing a combat uniform and a helmet at this time, but she is crying profusely.
Then he jumped up and hugged the veteran robot whose mouth was cracked to the root of his ear, crying and asking a question that others wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.
"You ...... How long can you stay asleep like this? ”
She was born relatively late, not the youth of Liu Qingqing and Li Qian, as well as Yang Shu and Yuan Hong.
At that time, the young people could be said to have a very high spirit and a very strong spirit, and even in terms of ideological intensity, it could be said that they were fighting heaven and earth.
But Li Shuixin, who was born decades late, has already passed the wave of fighting heaven and earth, and has never experienced any setbacks in her life.
Because of this, her personality is softer among these people, and she is even the most vulnerable among the 7 people.
The more vulnerable people are less able to let go of something.
The veteran robot patted her vest: "10 years, if you can find the energy to run this base again in 10 years."
Then the dormant base can be revived and functioning again.
But maybe you don't have that chance.
Well, time is running out, let's go early!
In addition, don't always think about crying when you go out!
Don't think about being afraid, think about how to solve things when you encounter them, instead of crying, crying is useless, but it is easier to attract danger. ”
After speaking, the veteran robot let go of Li Shuixin, picked up her hand, and put it in Chen Qiao's hand.
"I know this girl may be vulnerable, but it's not you!
And you ......."
The electronic eye swept over the rest of the people and said again.
"Try to live, the future is up to you!"
Finally.
A hole opened in a corner of the base, a flash of fire, and a flying machine slowly rose into the air, calmly flying out of the big hole that had been opened up many years ago.
In the cockpit of the aircraft, the rest of the people were sitting in their seats, locked in their seats by safety devices, and watched as a circle of screens outside was projected in the cockpit.
What is displayed on the screen is the surrounding scene outside the aircraft, up and down, left and right, front and back, and because it is a three-dimensional projection, it seems that this cockpit looks like a glass warehouse with no dead ends.
A few hundred meters passed in a blink of an eye, and they quickly rose into the air, and then found that this was a large canyon.
And the hole they flew out of was actually one of the many caves in the Grand Canyon.
After the aircraft flew out of the cave, it entered a state of level flight, and the seven people in the cockpit were instantly shocked by the scenery outside.
They thought that the lessons given to them by the veteran robot could already clearly describe the scene outside.
But I didn't expect that listening to a lecture was a lecture, but when I looked outside, I found that the outside world was more shocking than what the veteran robots said.
What is a towering tree?
How tall would it be if the earth had not been cut down for a hundred or two years.
The answer is very, very, very big.
Even the fastest-growing Australian almond eucalyptus can grow into a wood more than 10 meters tall in 5 years.
But 100 years is just like that, just a few tens of meters!
It's not that tall, at least it won't be shocking like this.
So.
What if it is a tree that has grown for a hundred or two hundred years without being disturbed by people in the radiation?
Maybe it's not just radiation, it's some other kind of energy, otherwise no tree can grow so fast and so tall.
Below where they are now is a dense forest, and the trees of the forest are extremely tall.
How tall is it?
It was so tall that they could almost see it, and the trees of the forest beneath their feet were more than two hundred meters.
All the trees were so thick that they couldn't even tell what kind of tree it was.
They could even see beasts of prey, running and chasing between the dense canopy of trees.
Between the branches, it was as wide as an unfenced viaduct road.
"Dr. Li Qian, you are a doctor of biology, can you tell what kind of tree this is, and what kind of beast is running in the canopy?"
Chen Qiao did find that his knowledge was a little lacking, and the training of the old robot squad leader did not mention the tree and the beasts in the canopy.
I had to ask Li Qian for advice.
instantly stunned Li Qian.
Li Qian was a little embarrassed and said: "Captain, my memory is only 23 years old.
When I was 23 years old, we had just resumed the college entrance examination, and I had just been admitted to university for a year.
So my knowledge may be a little small, as for the level of the doctorate, I estimate that it may take a long time, according to the time calculation, at least 10 years.
It takes 10 years of memory before I can have a doctor's level or longer, for a longer time!
Because of this, my knowledge may be a little lacking, and so far I have not recognized what that beast is or what kind of beast it is. ”
Yang Shu and Yuan Hong, as well as Liu Qingqing, all have a trace of helplessness, they are people of the same generation.
Almost all of them are the ones who have just resumed the college entrance examination and have not been admitted to university for a long time.
In terms of knowledge, the 23-year-old knowledge, in fact, the four of them are still not as good as Chen Qiao, Wan Xiaoqian and Li Shuixin, who were born decades later.
Suddenly, Li Shuixin raised his hand and whispered: "Captain, I think that thing looks like a squirrel, it's a little bigger!" ”
Chen Qiao was dumbfounded, his mind was at a dead end, it was indeed like a squirrel, but he didn't expect the squirrel to be that big.
After all, in his memory, even the largest squirrel in the world, a one-meter-long giant squirrel weighs only seven or eight pounds.
But that thing just now, according to the length of that body, it must be ten meters, right?
That's a squirrel?
Even if the length of the tail accounts for a large proportion, no matter what, that thing is at least more than 100 pounds!
You told me this thing was called a squirrel?
Suddenly, at this time, they felt something above their heads, blocking the sun.
Look up, a huge bird of unspeakable kind!
