The huge metal structure of the mountains stands in the vast cavity, and the silver-white surface constructed of unknown alloys hangs one after another ovoid dormant pods, and there is not the slightest trace of gaps or welds in the connection between the capsule and the silver-white alloy surface, which looks as if it is a part of the giant structure itself, natural and seamless.

A line of conduits responsible for transporting energy is connected from the ground of the giant structure, like the blood vessels of living beings connected to the ovoid dormant cabins that stand one after another on it, and continue to provide support for the energy of the static force field, the translucent, eggshell-like static force field is thinly covered on the oval device, and the ripples like water waves are slowly rippling on the surface, looking like transparent amber, and the amber is not inlaid with common beetles or flies, but the whole body is covered with barbs. A hideous and terrifying insectoid creature clad in golden armor.

No one knows how long the bugs have been asleep, or how long they will sleep again, it's been decades since people found this place, and yet they have been sleeping here with no sign of waking up.

But it's not dead here.

Many small drones that look like mosquitoes shuttle between the sleeping cabins, like busy bees, sometimes brushing a light curtain on the sleeping cabin to scan the numerical changes in the static force field, and sometimes stretching out the slender mechanical arthropods to disassemble the outer armor of the sleeping cabin, and carry out daily maintenance of the delicate parts inside.

These little mosquitoes are all self-disciplined machines without exception, and there is a set of quite sophisticated automatic programs behind them to control the every move of these autonomous machines, and when their designers enter the static dormant state, the daily maintenance and hidden danger maintenance work of the entire static area will be handed over to the automatic program to execute.

Obviously, a discerning person can see that whether it is a hibernation pod, a stasis force field, or these self-disciplined machines that are maintained, they are all technological creations created to overcome the long waiting times that occur when crossing the journey.

Although their civilization has been able to get rid of the shackles of gravity and set sail from the cradle towards the sea of stars, but the interstellar voyage on the cosmic scale is too long, even if their biotechnology allows them to have a long life that is almost non-aging and normal death, but the journey across the sea of stars is still too long for them, in order to save the consumption of the journey, they have created this device that can create static space-time, as well as the automatic operation device that is used in conjunction with it.

Theoretically, these devices and systems are aimed at long-term automatic operation, and there is no problem in normal operation for hundreds to thousands of years, even if there is an occasional problem, it will be quickly repaired by the self-regulatory machine, and there should not be too much of a problem.

But today, something went wrong with the system.

Still a big problem.

Warn! Warn! Abnormal operation of the static force field has been detected! The stagnation effect is rapidly failing!

Sharp alarms rang out throughout the tower, blinding flashes echoing through the corridors. The moment the alarm sounds, the autonomous machines responsible for routine maintenance are also in chaos.

The stasis force field on the surface of several dormant pods began to flicker wildly with the alarm, and with the stasis force field constantly flickering and shaking, the sleeping monsters in the dormant pods also showed some signs of awakening, and the carapace on their bodies began to appear beautiful and vibrant, and their bodies trembled slightly, as if they were getting rid of the state of long sleep and gradually returning to consciousness.

In one of the dormant pods, the insect monster looked like eight small cracks in its head, and as the carapace continued to crack widen, eight orange and yellow vertical pupils like animal pupils slowly opened, and it was at first a little confused by the current situation, as if it did not understand why it was awakened in an abnormal state, but after a moment it seemed to be provoked by something, and its eyes were suddenly filled with a violent and ferocious look.

Hiss!

The insect monster's unique three-petaled mouthparts cracked, revealing the circles and layers of fangs inside, and at the same time, the vocal organs in the back and abdomen vibrated at a high frequency, emitting a piercing sound that pierced through the protection of the static force field, and at the same time raised its long claws as sharp as knives and slapped it fiercely on the static force field in front of it!

The unimaginable force slammed on the translucent eggshell-like film, which had previously been turned off due to the abnormal operation of the static force field

The static effect has been weakened to a very weak degree, and with the angry beat of the insect monster, the static stasis force field reached the carrying limit, and it exploded into pieces of light like broken glass.

Warn! Static container rupture detected!

At the sound of the system's warning, the freed insect monster has crawled out of the pod with great agility, clutching onto the dormant pods that extend from the metal structure like a rock climb, and in the blink of an eye, it has climbed onto a protruding alloy platform.

The insect monster skillfully passed the certification on the platform, and the alloy gate slowly opened in the voice of successful certification, but the scene revealed was not an empty corridor that stretched to the end of the view, but a group of fully equipped tactical teams standing behind the door with loaded guns.

The insect monster was stunned for a moment, it may not have figured out what was going on, why it had just woken up and the bedroom door was blocked with a bunch of guys who looked bad, but before it could make any moves, the chairman who was sitting on the throne and remotely controlled these people gave the order to attack.

Fire!

Ferocious firepower poured out from the muzzle of the gun, and the overwhelming bullets formed a barrage storm, which instantly engulfed the figure of the insect monster!

Although the whole insect monster was blinded by this sudden suppression of firepower, the set of equipment on his body would not be invalid because of his distraction, and at the moment when the tactical team with loaded guns opened fire, the few pieces of golden armor he put on his body emitted a vibrating buzz, and the crystal embedded in it burst out with crystal clear light, and then, the armor unfolded a circle of shield force field around him under the vibration resonance, and met the first batch of firepower in the moment of lightning.

He stood in the rain of bullets and bullets, and faced the baptism of the metal storm composed of bullets generously.

No bullets hit him.

Not even one.

The rapid expansion of the gas caused by the rapid combustion of the gunpowder pushed the pointed bullets out of the chamber, these bullets were like the death's scythe, only after hitting will burst out a burst of blood mist, there is no way to dodge and no way to defend, but these high-speed moving bullets near the insect monster quickly stalled for some reason, becoming like a bullet fired underwater through a slender trajectory in the air, the speed became slower and slower, and finally fell to the ground because of the stall.

It felt as if the kinetic energy of the bullet had been sucked out by some means.

Conventional kinetic weapons fail, get on the rocket!

The chairman immediately discovered this problem, after discovering that this was a spaceship from a higher civilization that could travel the universe, he was mentally prepared for the weapon technology to be suppressed by the other party, and after realizing that the kinetic weapon of the gun and bullet may not be able to produce the desired effect, he immediately gave the order to switch the attack mode.

Woohoo

Two rockets erupted with a slender tail flame, and then under the shaky and unstable vibration of the platform, the high-temperature flames caused by the two explosions exploded on the platform.

But in the next second, the flames and smoke were torn apart by a flash of light, and a swift black shadow rushed out of it, and the distance of several meters was instantaneous, and several arcs of light quietly crossed these people, and when the insect monster stopped, he was already standing more than ten meters behind those people.

Whoa!

The guns in the hands of the tactical team turned into a pile of parts with flat cuts, and fell to the ground, and then the perspectives of several ports went offline one after another, completely losing contact.

What happened in that moment was so fast that not only the people of the tactical team, but even the chairman who controlled them on the other side of the port didn't have time to make an effective evasion move before they were hit.

Hiss hiss

The worm shook its back and abdomen again, hissing in an indeterminate sound, as if mocking and admonishing, before turning away, and the last port was plunged into the darkness of disconnection.

The chairman who was sitting on the throne slowly opened his eyes, and his electronic eyes flashed with a strange red glow, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow.

Attention of all units, the test team has been completely wiped out, and Target A has awakened and is approaching the first line of defense.

Conventional kinetic weapons are ineffective against each other

It is suspected that the force field shield of kinetic weapons will be weakened, and the main focus of the next battle will be on weapons that are dominated by chemical reactions.

Logistics Group A, which transports chemical reactive weapons and hybrid weapons of personnel control

According to the calculation of the target's athletic ability, it is preliminarily determined that the opponent's athletic ability is at least about six times higher than the human limit, and the open ground combat will be overwhelmingly unfavorable, and it is necessary to set up positions and trenches to fight around the battle.

Engineering team, urgently set up defensive positions.

There are many more targets awakened, and personnel are immediately assigned to erect defensive lines

As the minutes ticked by, he gave unhurried commands, and the entire inhabitants of Night City were under his control, like delicate gears snapping into each other.
