Chapter 87: The Mysterious Metal Orb
Shatterdome Base, Panama City.
It is located east of the entrance to the Pacific end of the Panama Canal.
Despite its small size, it is strategically significant.
The Panama Canal, a global shipping hub, is where the base focuses on defense.
It's a pity that the mecha construction factory in the base has been completely submerged by the sea.
The Cherno Alpha mecha, whose power core was destroyed, was also soaked in seawater into a pile of scrap metal at this time.
The staff of the base are struggling to fill the huge deep pit, wanting to make the last trace of effort.
"General Omar, how soon is this mecha building factory expected to be put back into service again?"
"Commander Chang Weisi, just filling this huge pit will probably take a week. This is not the most critical thing, the most critical thing is that all the equipment in this factory has been soaked in seawater and damaged, including this broken mecha. If you want to put it back into use, it will take half a month at the earliest. ”
Following the direction of General Omar's finger, Chang Weisi looked up.
The Cherno Alpha mecha that was about to be formed, the devastating tear in the chest, the hearts of those who watched it were cold.
The rest of the body's electrical equipment has not been waterproofed and cannot be used again.
Just as Chang Weisi was about to continue asking, General Omar suddenly thought of something, and then immediately spoke.
"Oh yes, Commander Chang Weisi, there's something for you to look at."
Omar's assistant immediately handed over a report and a small ball of light blue metal.
"What is this?"
This small blue metal ball looks very delicate, and the whole is hollow out.
The inner part of the ball is a clear, glass-like container with some blue liquid suspended in it.
Where have you seen this liquid?
Looking at Chang Weisi's puzzled expression, General Omar immediately explained.
"Commander Chang Weisi, this metal ball was found in the broken hole cut by the Kaiju Beast when I was cleaning up the mecha, and it was embedded next to the power core device at that time."
"And it's so hard that our instruments can't detect its composition or what it does for the time being."
The blue metal ball is not only cold in the hand, but also has a warm feeling.
"It's not just this metal ball, we also found something else at the scene, and the details of those things are recorded in the investigation report."
Chang Weisi took the investigation report handed over by the assistant and immediately opened it to check it.
The body surface tissue of the chrysanthemum.
Metal retainers.
Small metal balls.
Timed trigger device.
...
Except for this metal ball, everything else has been identified, which is nothing more than some leftover equipment.
It seems to be all used to serve this metal ball.
Chang Weisi put away the investigation report and immediately looked up and replied.
"Thank you, General Omar, I'll bring this report and this metal ball back early tomorrow morning, and I'll give you an answer after the analysis is finished."
"Okay, Commander Chang Weisi, a rest room has been prepared for you here, and you can go and rest at any time."
"Don't worry, I'll take a look at this scene again."
"No problem, then Commander Chang Weisi, I'll go and get busy first, you can tell my assistant at any time if there is anything."
After the two politely nodded to each other, General Omar immediately left the mech-building factory.
Chang Weisi then slowly came to the middle part of the mecha construction platform, and this was the place where the metal ball was found.
Looking at the very inconspicuous groove, Chang Weisi touched it with his own hands.
Unlike other places, there is also a warm feeling here.
Just when Chang Weisi picked up the metal ball in his hand and compared it with the groove.
An inconspicuous iron cut suddenly cut through a finger.
Blood oozed out instantly, dripping onto the metal ball.
In an instant, the lines on the metal ball suddenly turned.
Although it was very inconspicuous, it was noticed by Chang Weisi.
Well?
Chang Weisi hurriedly wiped the blood off his fingers, and then began to fiddle with the metal ball again.
But this time, no matter how you touch it, nothing has changed.
Is it blood?
Chang Weisi suddenly frowned.
After a lot of struggles, I finally decided to give it a try.
took out a knife and gently slashed it on his finger, and blood instantly gushed out on the tip of his finger.
Next, Chang Weisi slowly dripped blood on the metal ball.
At that time!
The lines on the metal ball rotated again, and the blue liquid in the innermost glass container also shook.
But it was only for a moment, and no matter how much blood was dropped, the metal ball no longer moved.
"What's going on?"
Chang Weisi looked at the metal ball that had changed back to its original appearance, and immediately recorded the situation.
It wasn't until night fell that the study of this metal ball was completely abandoned.
"Forget it, let's take it back early tomorrow morning and study it."
After putting the metal ball in his briefcase, Chang Weisi came to the lounge under the leadership of his assistant.
The briefcase, on the other hand, lay quietly in the locker.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the Panama City base was still brightly lit.
Workers in a mecha construction factory are working overnight repairing equipment and mechs.
The breeze above the sea blew ripples, crushing and spreading the moon.
Just when everything is immersed in this hectic peace.
Suddenly, a loud bang pierced the peace of the night.
"The chrysanthemum beast is coming!! All on alert!! ”
"Fire Defense Group!! Fire!! ”
In the rest area behind Panama City.
The two chrysanthemum beasts reproduced the previous way, and suddenly emerged from the ground, wantonly destroying the surrounding buildings.
In particular, the building where Chang Weisi was located became the target of the key destruction of the chrysanthemum beast.
It's still a quick blitzkrieg.
Before the fire defense team could all arrive, the two chrysanthemum beasts drilled back down the crater.
"Oops!! Commander Chang Weisi!! ”
General Omar's face turned blue and immediately yelled at his side!!
"Quick!! All personnel! Enter the assault zone now! Searching for Commander Chang Weisi!! ”
"Yes!!"
The rest area has turned into a sea of fire at this point.
The ruined ruins were scattered all over the place.
"Fire crew! No matter what it takes! Live to meet people! Death to see the corpse! ”
"Otherwise, we'll all have to head up to see Chief Ling Xiao!"
In this case, the probability of survival is close to zero.
In less than a week, Panama City was hit twice.
And it's all blitzkrieg without warning.
Even in this case, General Omar is still hoping for a miracle.
"Commander Chang Weisi! You can't die! ”
