Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 151
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, and many people have not slept well.
Even if they had already handed over that monster to Yuan Yuxue's hands, they couldn't feel at ease.
Just the thought of lurking in the starship with such a completely uncontrolled and threatening killing weapon is as unreassuring as telling them that they have broken into the lair of a group of S-class zergs.
But when these people racked their brains thinking about how to get rid of Jie Zhouyan without offending Yuan Yuxue, who seemed to be very interested in Jie Zhouyan. Another big news came, and they couldn't think about quitting Zhouyan wholeheartedly.
It was even stimulated to forget about it at all.
After all, the goal of the starship is to find a new planet in the interstellar world, which can support a large amount of resource mining and has the best environment to live in.
However, the conditions for the formation of this habitable planet are too harsh, and they have sailed for nearly a hundred years without finding this mission goal.
Just when they thought that even if the personnel inside the starship experienced another birth, old age, sickness and death, they would not be able to find this habitable planet before the great blood exchange, the reconnaissance ship sent out finally came with the good news that it could smash people unconscious.
They found an uninhabited planet that was beautiful, rich in resources, and habitable in all kinds of conditions.
This is the second huge piece of good news they got after discovering that Yuan Desire Xue can repair many starship systems.
And "uninhabited planets" are generally divided into two types -
One is that there is really no one, and the other is that the aboriginal technology level inside is much lower than theirs, and the people who can be eliminated at any time are "unmanned". Luckily, the detected planet was of the first kind, saving it the trouble of using force.
Of course, it is better not to start a war, they are not interested in slaughter, they are only interested in the resources inside.
In the end, such a good news of fulfilling a long-cherished wish somewhat overwhelmed the minds of the high-level people, so that they did not even think of an extremely unreasonable point.
Such a beautiful and rich planet, which has not even been hit by any cosmic storms, has not multiplied with life under the abundant resources.
Chapter 169: Fear Voyage 19
In the balance of forces and the open and secret battles, it was finally decided that the specific number of teams that would be sent to explore the unmanned planet was finally decided.
Probably the forces of each faction were eventually assigned three or four people, and these people also formed the highest-ranking exploration team in history, the starship responsible for landing reconnaissance.
In the past, this kind of mission was quite dangerous, and all the personnel who were sent out were almost equivalent to having to go and never return.
Although "glorious", it is not a good errand.
The people sent out were almost all professional dead soldiers trained by various forces. And unlike the current configuration, it's almost all about people of considerable status - at least above the fourth level.
It is also because the situation obtained from this investigation is quite optimistic.
The planet is beautiful and docile, with no desperate resistance, dangerous natives. The landing site they chose was also a plain-like terrain populated by small, docile herbivores with little danger from the outside.
The climate is mild, and it will not be exposed to cosmic storms and direct rays for nearly 100 years.
The excitement of exploring such a rich and peaceful planet, plundering those abundant resources and wealth, and completing the mission, and returning to their homeland has been entrapped.
Almost all the members of the expedition team who were assigned to carry out the mission felt a sense of destiny and mission with honor.
Their deeds will go down in history. They're making history with their own hands.
Of course, even if the danger of this mission is assessed to be almost zero, because of their special status, they must be fully prepared before landing on this planet.
The most well-equipped protective suit, a miniature light weapon to carry around.
In order to ensure absolute suppression and absolute safety by force, someone even turned to Yuan Yuxue for help, hoping that he could transform some of the heavy light energy weapons, at least he could wear them by his side.
After all, Yuan Yuxue is a technician who can repair weapon systems, and of course knows quite well about this aspect.
Although Yuan Yuxue had not done similar operations before, she listened to their request, and with her already very proficient theoretical knowledge, she transformed those small light energy weapons into weapons that could be carried on her body.
Although the lethality is somewhat discounted, it is enough for those who go out on duty. For a while, those upper class people were surprised and delighted.
In fact, this kind of work is not difficult and complicated for Yuan Yuxue, but it is very laborious.
Even with Yuan Yuxue's terrifyingly accurate grasp of various instruments, it took some time—it took about two all-nighters to transform these weapons before the expedition team landed on a new planet.
Yuan Yuxue doesn't actually need to rely on sleep to replenish energy, this matter is more common to him. But in the eyes of others, Yuan Yuxue's workload was so heavy that it seemed that they were brutally oppressing him.
But because everyone got the benefits, no one talked about it for a while.
During this period, Jie Zhouyan has been staying by Yuan Yuxue's side very strongly, watching him transform those instruments.
In his opinion, it was the orders of those people that made Yuan Xuxue work for so long, so that his expression was very gloomy.
When handing over the weapon, Jie Zhouyan also accompanied Yuan Yuxue.
Because of amnesia, Jie Zhouyan seems to be inseparable from people now-Yuan Xuxue thinks so.
Yuan Xuxue did not put the chains of shackles on Jiezhouyan as the others requested, and took him with him, so that when Yuan Xuxue explained to the others how to use the transformed weapon, Jiezhouyan looked at them with that extremely terrifying gaze.
Several times, those who came to hand over their weapons thought that they would be attacked by Jiezhouyan, or at least they would not be able to get out of this place intact.
But because Yuan Xuxue was restrained from the side, they didn't suffer any injuries in the end, but the psychological pressure was a little great, and finally they were a little embarrassed and staggered away from the place where the transaction was placed.
Even after leaving far away, he still had lingering palpitations about the sight of Jie Zhouyan.
…… What the.
They want to.
It's like a monster to a vicious dog that is always waiting by the side of his master, tearing and biting those who dare to oppress him.
That is, they really can't pull out now, they are all busy discovering new planets, and they are fighting among themselves, in order to distribute more benefits in this operation, and prepare for the next class division, otherwise they will have their hands free to clean up that terrible monster.
The group gritted their teeth in hatred and thought.
After all the weapons equipped with them were upgraded, the expedition team finally landed on a new planet from the research ship in perfect condition.
The instrument has done a preliminary survey of the new planet, and it has been determined that the surface of this planet has a very abundant oxygen content, and there are no harmful gases and rays, even if they take off the protective clothing now and freely expose themselves to this planet, they will not be harmed. They can also absorb fresher and purer oxygen than the reserves in their protective suits.
But just in case, no one did.
They began to collect all kinds of resources on it - a task that could be given to the machines, but they had to make sure that the information they collected was absolutely unbiased, as it was likely to be their next long-term home planet, and the machines were not as nimble as humans.
The earth, the air, the plants, and the primitive animals that belonged to the planet—presumably because there was too much food and no natural predators, the life on the planet was a little sluggish and easy to catch.
People in protective suits quickly ended the lives of these animals. Their blood and bones were collected and placed in a special storage box, ready to be brought back to the starship.
For absolute safety, they could not bring any of the lifeforms from the new planet to the starship, and they could only collect some of the flesh and blood in this way.
After collecting these regular substances, they began to search for the richest treasure on the planet - the abundant minerals.
A large part of this is precious metals that can be traded as hard currency, and some are more practical and equally expensive energy stones.
Their starships had been sailing for hundreds of years, and even with the best preparation at first, the energy stones had become what they desperately needed today.
The people who collected it for a while were a little hot-eyed. If it weren't for the strict regulations, and their backgrounds were very good, they wouldn't even be able to help but want to bring back some more precious energy stones.
The collection work was carried out in an orderly manner, and the duo responsible for the coordinate axis Y011 area encountered a small controversy at this time.
In order to ensure safety, all landing expeditions will be grouped into groups, and there will be a mandatory minimum of two people.
Usually people who belong to the same faction of the same faction will be assigned to a group.
However, because the number of places that can participate in the expedition team is not evenly distributed, there will always be some people who are split out to form a team. Therefore, the duo in charge of the Y011 area is not only not a unified faction with harmonious relations, but also a sworn enemy with a lot of friction in the past.
Compared with the congenial atmosphere of the other groups, they did not have any conversation from the time they boarded the research ship to the time they came out to carry out the mission.
Along the way, they arrived at the mission area in great silence.
Then, in the midst of a small dense forest filled with strangely shaped vegetation and abundant water vapor, they found a cave woven of vine-like plants and earth.
The entrance is very wide and can fit the size of the next person. And it doesn't look too deep, and through the light shining inside, you can see the scene inside, the ground is a lot of muddy water, and on top is a vine weaving top, and there are some crystalline, unrecognizable energy stones that are inserted horizontally in the cavern.
The cave trend seems to be slightly downward, with some strange downward curves, so although the visibility is good, standing at the entrance, you can't see the whole scene inside.
One of the two who had a bad relationship finally spoke his first words of the day.
"It's kind of weird."
- He said it strangely, because at the beginning they were on the starship, and they had all seen the topographical map of the area they were responsible for exploring. At that time, the terrain did not seem to have such a wet vine cave.
"I remember that there were no caves on the topographic map." He added.
"You're mistaken." The speed of the other person's reply was almost as fast as a rebuttal for the sake of rebuttal.
In fact, he did habitually object to the proposal, saying, "How do I remember that there was—and, even if it didn't?" Machines aren't entirely accurate, they never go wrong, and if they were to be trusted, we wouldn't have come to collect these resources. ”
His words were so promising that the other pursed his lips slightly, revealing a not very happy look.
But he still didn't choose to continue arguing with the other party at this time. But when he saw another person, who had already slightly opened the vines and wanted to walk forward, he couldn't help but stop him, "Do you want to go in?" ”
"Don't forget our mission. Collect all the special resources that your eyes can see. He pointed to the power stone in the cave, buried in the middle of the stone wall.
"But—"
The man, who was already extremely dissatisfied with his indecision, interrupted him, "If you don't want to go, you can wait for me outside." ”
The other looked at the damp cavern full of mud, probably because the fire had also come up, and said in a cold voice, "Whatever you want." ”
Chapter 170: Fear Voyage 20
The reason why the man is so stubborn and determined to enter the cave is certainly not how brave he is, and he can not be afraid of death in order to complete the task.
And purely because he had looked through the investigation materials of this new planet countless times before, and he was sure that this was a planet with a mild climate and no threat, and in this area they investigated, there were not even any large, ferocious beasts - not to mention that even if he did, the weapons he wore on his body that surpassed the technological level of this planet could easily solve any crisis.
Add to that the protective suit that can defend against all attacks, and will not be torn even if exposed to a cosmic storm, and he has nothing to worry about.
Presumably with this in mind, the man who remained outside the cave, after his anger, realized that they had violated the rule that they could not be separated, and did not rush forward to join his companion.
Anyway, they look at each other and hate each other, and the other party may just use this excuse to catch his breath alone.
On such a safe planet, there's really no need to be clinging to each other and being annoying.
The man who was thinking this also happened to see his companion leaning over slightly, digging out the energy stone that was exposed a little outside the cave, and putting it into the special storage box.
He withdrew his gaze.
Somewhat surprisingly, there was a lot of ore in this narrow cavern. The man lowered his head and began to carry out his task, having forgotten the controversy and unpleasantness just now.
The long bending made his shoulders and backs ache a little. When he straightened up, the man found himself unconsciously entering the depths of the cave.
Because the cave was slowly going down, he was standing there, and he couldn't see the entrance of the cave anymore.
The man didn't care much and kept going. Only then did he realize that the cave was deeper than he had imagined.
