Chapter 193 Dilemma (4)
Su slowly slowed down, stopped, looked at the brightly lit city on the distant horizon, and said, "Your news came a little late. I think I have found the Blue Scorpion's advance base."
The communicator end fell silent, and Helen seemed to be checking Su's current location. After more than ten seconds, she said: "Let me see the Blue Scorpion's advance base."
Su pointed the screen at the city with the lights shining in the distance, and then took it back. Helen held her jaw with her hand, pointed her fingers in front of the screen, saying: "From the order of magnitude of the energy required to support these lighting, this base can accommodate about 10,000 people, but obviously, they cannot have so many soldiers, otherwise you will encounter a war directly. However, even if the population of 10,000 includes research and logistics personnel, the scale is not small, that is, this direction will be the area where Blue Scorpion will focus on developing in the future. Su, I suggest you cancel the reconnaissance operation inside the base. Their biological detection system is very advanced, and it will be very dangerous to approach their base."
"I don't plan to enter the base, I just check it out with a closer look. I may have a way to deal with their biological detection system," Su said.
"Can you deceive the Blue Scorpion's human detection system? How did it do it? Oh, I forgot, even if you can do it, you won't know the principle. When you come back, I will conduct a thorough inspection of you..." When it comes to inspection, Helen is like a computer that is over-frequency. Even through the screen, she can see her eyes shining.
Su was speechless to the madman and said, "I'm going to start the action." He was about to close the tactical board.
"Wait a minute, you can take a look at this first. This is just coming from the headquarters laboratory."
A holographic screenshot of a crawler robot replaced Helen's avatar. The screenshot was taken from the remains of the robot destroyed by Su, which was naturally incomplete. A hemispherical part of the robot's chest was continuously enlarged, which shows that it is very tightly protected here. Just looking at the thickness of the shell, it is even about to catch up with the external armor. The cross-sectional view shows that this part of the material is denser than the external armor and has a more compact molecular structure.
"This is the robot's intelligent center. By the way, I found out from the internal parts that the number of this guy is cc307." With Helen's voice, the intelligent center was amplified again, and a two or three centimeter-sized domain inside was marked with eye-catching marks and kept flashing.
"It has been carbonized here, but through the detection and analysis of the residue, this thing should be biological matter. To put it more specifically, it is very similar to the brain tissue of a certain organism. Let's take a look at the energy supply unit. Yes, it is here. This container contains a nutrient solution, which is similar to the one we usually use for neural units. There is a dedicated transmission pipeline between the container and the brain tissue in the intelligent center. There is also a metabolic unit here, which should be used to collect waste generated during the metabolism of brain tissue."
Helen's mechanically beautiful face appeared again on the screen. She held her glasses and said, "I just wanted to tell you that the machinery of Blue Scorpion may be much smarter than you think."
"I understand." Su replied. The message Helen conveyed is very important.
"There is one more thing. If it is convenient, you can bring a scorpion back and live." Helen said.
This is not a simple task. Helen just asked Su not to approach the base, but now she wants Su to catch a living warrior back, which makes Su speechless. However, Helen's next message dispelled Su's dissatisfaction: "The price offered by the Dragon Rider Headquarters for a living Blue Scorpion warrior is 50,000."
In front is an abandoned town, with ruins no different from other places, with crooked buildings everywhere, ruined roads, and dead silence. 300 meters west is the base of Blue Scorpion.
The base is already quite large.
In the center of the base is an elliptical cylindrical building up to twenty meters high. There are rows of narrow windows arranged on the building, and shining orange lights are revealed from the inside out. At the top of the building, there is a circle of blue light strips, which looks particularly dazzling under the night sky. Obviously, the blue scorpion does not want to hide its traces at all.
Around the central building, there are dozens of large and small buildings, most of which are oval and a small number of square buildings. There is a very obvious commonality. All the buildings of Blue Scorpio have only a few windows and are very small, and the tops of the buildings are flashing with blue lights. Overall, Blue Scorpio's advance base tends to be the surreal style of the new era, which is completely different from the retro trend of Longcheng.
A large long-shaped building stands at the edge of the base, with a span of almost equal to the radius of the base. A row of searchlights on the edge of the building shines the clearings in front. A row of chariots are parked neatly on the open space. It seems that this is a garage.
Su slowly poked his head out from the top of the garage and counted that there were a total of ten chariots placed on the open space, all of which were seen before, eight personnel carriers and two main combat vehicles, and there was no new guy. His position was behind the lights, so that he could see clearly in front of him without fear of being discovered by the blue scorpion people. Through the exhaust window at the top of the garage, you could see that there were bright lights inside, with three chariots placed. More than a dozen people who seemed to be engineers were busy around the chariots. Rows of part racks were placed against the wall, and several robotic arms were hanging from the roof to assist the engineers in replacing the parts of the chariots. This garage seemed to have a maintenance function.
The engineers were both men and women, and their appearance ranged from their twenties to their forties or fifties. But strangely, everyone was working silently, and they seemed to know clearly what they were going to do. They would never say a word to the people next to them. In the huge garage, there was no noise except the sound of mechanical operation and metal collision. Looking at the wooden faces below, somehow, Su suddenly remembered Helen.
On the other side of the garage, there are three cylindrical buildings, with the gates from the top to the bottom and up to ten meters high. Two of them are open, and the interior of the building can be seen from Su's perspective.
In a building in the center, there was a crawler robot! It was still, and more than a dozen robot arms hanging from the high ceiling were moving horizontally along the inner wall of the hangar, replacing components for it. In front of the body of the chariot, several engineers carefully placed a half-spherical metal box on the body of the chariot. Su immediately recognized that the metal box was the robot's intelligent center. A pair of robot arms held the intelligent center, pushed it into the robot's chest, and then hung the external armor again. The robot let out a roar, and eight electronic eyes lit up one by one. It lowered its head, looked at the busy engineers in front of the car, and then looked at its left and right arms. Its arms were now just empty terminal interfaces, and no weapons were hung on it. After seeing these, it quieted down, but the electronic eyes still flashed constantly, and they looked at everything around it coldly.
On the other side of the central building, a row of three-story buildings stands upright, with people constantly entering and exiting the gates, which looks like a beehive that is constantly sucking and spitting out wasps.
"Dormitory area..." Su Momo marked it in his heart.
