Chapter 290: Life Detection

"Wouldn't we just break this glass?"

Tang Yue looked at the other people who were about to dig the sand by hand, and wondered, "How long will it take to dig with your hands?"

"No, once the glass shatters, a large amount of wind carrying cosmic radiation will blow into the building, let's just say that if Dr. Han Le and the others are still in the building, direct contact with radiation without protective clothing will be fatal."

Shu Yungui glanced at the display screen on the protective suit, even though the stars were sinking in the west and the sky was about to be exhausted, the radiation value around them was still very high.

"Then Brother Shu and Brother Cheng can't use the 'coordinate rewriting' to bring us in? You don't have to dig sand here, do you?"

Cheng Sikong took out a sapper shovel from his backpack and threw it to him, knocked his fingertips on his head through the protective clothing, and said: "Do you see the sand in the hall, it's as much as the water in your head, let's rush in without cleaning up the scene, make sure you fall into it with the first foot on the ground, it's the same as quicksand, you can't get out of crying dad and shouting mother, this place is dry, and when the war is over in a hundred or ten years, people will dig you out, and you are not rotten."

Tang Yue's face turned pale, put the laptop back into his backpack, and said stupidly while holding the sapper shovel: "Then you can rewrite the coordinates of the sand, won't this empty the scene?"

Cheng Sikong raised his hand and was a violent shock, and was dodged by Tang Yue's short body.

"Little idiot, how many times have I told you, 'Coordinate rewriting is a precision skill, not a group type skill, the gravel seems to be connected, but it is actually an independent structure, even if I can control a hundred grains of sand at a time, this large pile of exhaustion I and Shu Yungui can't finish it!"

"I know, I know, I'll just dig it!"

Tang Yue didn't dare to make a sound anymore, picked up the sapper shovel and began to dig hard, the gravel piled up outside the gate was like a landslide, the people outside couldn't get in, and the people inside didn't want to come out, Tang Yue muttered in his heart, if the comfortable mother was really here, it would have been three years, why would she starve to death, right?

But with Cheng Sikong's man-eating guy, he didn't dare to speak, so he could only dig the sand with all his strength, but he finally dug a small hole, and it was immediately filled by the sand pouring down from the surroundings, and it looked like he was doing useless work.

He dug for a long time, he was so tired and out of breath, but there was no sand in front of him, he could only look back desperately to see the progress of others, but saw Cheng Sikong and Shu Yungui standing at the back with their arms crossed, not only did they not help dig with their hands, but they kept pointing to the building and didn't know what they were discussing.

"Although the position is high, I have to help out......

Tang Yue bent down, lowered his head, and muttered in a low voice, and the Jesus beside him heard the sound and arched his fire: "That's it, they are black-hearted slave masters, you go!" Go protest!"

"You're not encouraging me to be a bird! Why don't you go yourself? Aren't you scared of the 'original space?'

Jesus snorted, "I don't know as much as they do, my father said, be generous."

Tang Yue rolled his eyes: "You're not human."

Seeing that the two were about to peck each other again, Jian Fangrong, who was not far away, stopped what he was doing, inserted the sapper shovel into the sand mound, straightened up and looked around.

In this way, the speed of digging sand is too slow, and the sand is fluid, and it will automatically level after digging a gap, so it will take at least three days to dig the gate, but Jian Fangrong clearly knows that the muse will not give them time, and the power of the protective suit will not last that long.

He had to find a faster solution, and as the chief mechanic's brilliant mind raced through it, he soon came up with a new one, but he might not be able to do it on his own, and he needed to find help.

"What are you talking about?" Jian Fangrong walked towards Shu Yungui and asked.

"We're estimating the possibility of going straight to the second floor, but unfortunately this method isn't very feasible, because we don't know how many enemies there are, and it's likely that we'll fall directly into someone's encirclement after entering."

Shu Yungui moved his neck, which had been tilting his head and causing poor blood flow, and asked him, "

What about you, what's the matter?"

"I think it's too slow to rely on manpower, I have a faster way, but I need your help."

Shu Yungui nodded: "You say."

Jian Fangrong turned around and pointed to the terrain around the Bionic Research Association building, and said, "This building itself is on high ground, the middle of the terrain is high and the surrounding is low, although it looks like it is all paved with gravel now, but in fact there is a slope, if you can blow up the drainage canals on both sides, the sand pile will siphon and flow down the terrain."

This is really a good way, Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong glanced at each other, and both agreed with Jian Fangrong's proposal.

"It's a physics student." Shu Yungui patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Why didn't you say it just now?"

"The first time I went on a mission, I wasn't used to it, and I didn't think about it that way."

Under Jian Fangrong's planning, they found several points with the largest height difference to bury the stun bombs, and with the sound of the "boom" explosion, the mountains of sand and gravel poured around, fell into the drainage canal, and continued to flow into the distance, like a long gray-white river flowing in the desert.

Not having to continue digging sand was the best news for Tang Yue, he stretched out two thumbs to Jian Fangrong, and then heard Jesus say quietly behind him, "This method, I also thought of it just now."

"you, why don't you go in and save people yourself? Maybe General Ake sees you as a lifesaver and cries out to give you a set of bionic skins."

"You know what? Stinky little ghost, my dad said, androids can't be too smart, they will be envied by humans."

Tang Yue's cheeks twitched, and he asked, "It's your dad every day, where is your dad?" Why didn't he come to you?"

"It's confidential, and I won't tell you."

Jesus grimaced, though it looked similar to him with or without a grimace.

"Alright, stop arguing, pack your things and get ready to go upstairs."

Shu Yungui stretched out his hands to pull the two apart, walked between them, and walked straight towards the gate.

The sand in the hall had not yet flowed clean, and fine pieces of gray-white gravel kept scratching through the vamps of their shoes, making a "whoosh" sound like the wind sweeping the leaves.

"The last person to come in closed the door to prevent the radiation wind from entering, Cheng Sikong was on alert, and Tang Yue re-detected the life signal."

As the sand and gravel continued to flow away, the hall on the first floor of the research building was finally revealed, Tang Yue brushed away the sand that remained on the front desk, put the computer on it, and began to scan the life signals of the entire building.

Except for the five of them, the entire building was quiet, and it didn't seem to be as dangerous as General Ake said, Shu Yungui paced to the elevator sign on the first floor with a gun, and saw that it was -

[1F Waiting Lobby]

[2F: Android Transformation Registration Center]

[3F: Human Consciousness Extraction Site]

[4F: Bionic Body Manufacturing Division]

[5F: Human Electronic Consciousness Storage Center]

Because the electronic human consciousness and the manufacturing of androids in the Butterfly Nebula is an industrial chain with legal provisions, all transformation activities are led by the government, and the people are not allowed to carry out consciousness extraction and consciousness transplantation without permission, so almost the entire Alpha Star needs to carry out consciousness extraction and transplantation People have to go through the process in this building, Shu Yungui estimates that this place should be crowded every day.

There is only a five-story introduction on the elevator nameplate, but from the outside, this building is far more than five floors, and the reason why it is not stated is that it is estimated that all above the fifth floor are not open to the public.

"Their business is really good, and there are more than 900 people in line."

Cheng Sikong picked up a dusty electronic caller from the ground covered by sand and gravel, although the machine was damaged, there were still words on the display screen that "Waiting for Calling Ahead: 955".

In one day, nearly a thousand people came to handle consciousness extraction, and it seems that on this planet, the probability of human mortality is really high, and family members must take patients to the research building when the hospital issues a critical illness notice, and queue up for consciousness extraction.

It also takes time to customize the appearance of the android, and all the extracted human consciousness must be temporarily stored in the human electronic consciousness storage center on the fifth floor, and the customized body can only be transplanted after the customized body is built.

This seems to be a rather long process, but since the birth of humans on ancient Earth, human beings have been tirelessly pursuing immortality, and not many people can resist the temptation of electronic human consciousness, and no one can refuse a bionic body that will never get sick and will not be afraid of radiation, so the number of people who receive natural deaths on the Butterfly Nebula every year is less than 0.5% of the total annual deaths. Look at the book

Shu Yungui sighed a little, fortunately, the fertility rate among androids is not high, otherwise the population of Butterfly Nebula would have exploded long ago.

"Tang Yue, have the detection results come out?"

Shu Yungui returned to the center of the hall and saw that Tang Yue was still working hard, and he was more and more likely to collapse.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Tang Yue raised his head with a sad face, he didn't even have confidence in his voice, and said in confusion: "I don't know if there is a problem with the computer, I scanned it three times, and it still shows that there is no other sign of life in this building except for the four of us."

Shu Yungui's face sank when he heard this, and he asked urgently, "What is the possibility that the Life Probe will be damaged?"

"I—I don't know...... I just know that the program is fine, and I can't understand the hardware......

"Don't worry, let me check."

Jian Fangrong put down the gun in his hand, held up the computer and opened the back cover, looking for the hardware module of the life detector inside.

Tang Yue's computer has been modified by the IAFA technical department and himself, from the software to the hardware, it is unique in the entire Hope Star Field, and it is quite complicated to overhaul, but Jian Fangrong's speed is still very fast, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "The hardware is fine."

"Then it seems that the life detector's results are correct, there are no living people in this building."

Cheng Sikong looked at Shu Yungui and said, "Actually, haven't we been mentally prepared for this result, the outside of the building is so barren, and there is no sign of human activity inside, Dr. Han Le is not a android, she needs to eat, and it is impossible for the Muse to keep her alone here."

"Since there are no signs of life in this building, then we are now facing only two results, either Dr. Han Le has been killed, and her body may still be in this building, we can try to find it, or she has been transferred by the Muse as an important hostage, and my thoughts are close to the second possibility, because she is the wife of General Ake, and the Muse should not kill her easily."

Shu Yungui nodded and said, "In this case, we can only prepare with two hands."

He glanced at the time and said, "There are still two and a half hours until twelve o'clock, let's hurry up and search this building, and if we don't find Dr. Han Le's body, we will withdraw from the building and find a way to return to the Red Nightmare to make plans."
