After we got this fighting tarantula, we got a super digger. The thigh that was cut off grew quickly after being replenished with the energy fluid, and then started to punch holes under my control. The eight legs seemed to be very thin, but it was not slow to work, and the earth and stones were flying around, and then I saw this guy moved into the passage a little bit, and the digging speed was faster than the turtle crawling Much faster. Although the turtle crawls slowly, don't forget that they are making holes! This speed is already quite amazing!
With this aid, it took us less than twenty minutes to cross the blocked passage in front of us, and then we found another mountain in front. That's right, it's really big mountain. The entire rock on the upper part of the mountain collapsed, completely sealing this side. My scan results show that the thickness of the stone in front of me is at least 30 meters, and there is no edge up and down, anyway, it is basically impossible to get around and can only be dug hard, but it is really not easy to penetrate such deep rocks. .
"Thirty meters deep?" The wizard looked at me in surprise and asked, "How long can you dig in?"
I touched the rock in front of me, and then said, "This is an entire uranium-rich stone, similar in effect to a depleted uranium armor. It is amazingly hard. To drill holes in this kind of thing, a normal drill bit is simply useless. That wolf Spiders are okay, but not too fast. "
"What then?"
"The practical explosives are a good way. I'm afraid that the tunnel here will not be able to carry another collapse."
"This is absolutely not possible." There are structural engineers in the wizard. A brief look at the readings on the instrument said: "No, the pressure is too great. Once a negative pressure is formed, the whole mountain will be shattered, and explosives cannot be used."
"Then you can only dig slowly."
"I'm afraid the people below will not be able to support that time!" The medical team guide next to said.
All of a sudden we were all silent. The medical team hoped that it would be quick, but the engineering team would not let it explode. The walls in this place are too hard. The digging speed must not be faster. This is simply no solution.
Ling thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you can use an ion effect field."
After hearing Ling's suggestion, I hesitated for a while, thinking about it as if it was indeed a solution. But although I understood, the guide next to me didn't understand it, and asked with some confusion: "What are you talking about?"
"A very special technology, but once it is started, it will generate very large electromagnetic radiation, but this place seems not to be a big deal."
To say elsewhere. I also need to worry. This place is originally a uranium mine, and there are gamma rays everywhere. It seems no big deal to get more radiation in this place.
"Does the radiation dose exceed our protective clothing's upper limit?" Asked the wizard.
I nodded and said, "Sure. But you can hide in the passage where you came, so that's all right."
After agreeing, we moved quickly. Programmable atoms are needed to arrange that ion effect field. It happens that there are uranium ore everywhere, which can be absorbed and converted into atomic energy armor by the way, and it can also strengthen the defense by the way.
The release of the programmable atom soon completed a ring close to half a human height in front of us. Watching the black atomic gray keep climbing on the ring base it has formed. Then a little bit of integration into the edge gradually formed a complete endless belt, the scene is like magic, it is really very magical. It is a pity that the guides have all hid in the passage, and they have not stayed here at all. So no one else saw it.
Immediately after the ring was formed, a large bag was swollen at the back, and then it began to grow continuously. A rather complicated protrusion was quickly formed, and several pieces of crystal-like objects exposed outside could be seen. In fact, it was the quantum thruster nozzle.
The entire installation took only a few minutes. In the end, a toy like a car engine was formed, but there was a ring in front of it biting on the rock, and there were five tracks around it, which could go forward in the excavated channel.
After this thing was in place, I immediately activated its moving core, and then I saw those blue spouts suddenly start to emit a dazzling blue flame. At the same time, the side of this thing biting on the rock and showing off this side The two circular structures began to rotate in two directions, and as the two parts turned, the entire device immediately began to push into the rock a little bit, and the speed became faster and faster.
"I didn't expect this thing to be so easy to use!" We were taken aback by looking at the device that was moving at a speed no less than that of ordinary people. But think about it makes sense.
It is not invented by us, but the warhead of the ground-bomb bombers used by the creators. Generally, such bombs are thrown by small warships, and the plasma effect field device is installed at the front end. After touching the ground, this thing will start to drill underground, and then with the bombs behind it all the way into the center of the earth, and then with a bang, the whole planet will become a pile of space meteorite flying around the sky, the power is absolutely fierce.
Of course, the bomb we made did not destroy the planet. There was only a digging bit, but the effect was still very good. A few meters deep in the blink of an eye, and the speed was still accelerating.
It took about five or six minutes for the thing in front to stop working suddenly, then started to reverse, and quickly backed out of the passage. This is set in advance. After digging through, do not penetrate the last layer of rock wall and return directly. This is to prevent someone on the opposite side, what if the survivor stabs in the past and even the survivors pierce it?
This thing quickly retreated to us and immediately turned into dust and reintegrated into the power armor of my body. The next thing needs to be figured out for ourselves.
Let Xiaochun call the guides back, and at the same time order the tarantula to dig back. The aisle here is too small, and the tarantula can't live with it. It might as well let it dig a way back, at least let Everett follow, maybe it can help.
The hole we just made on the rock is about a meter and two in diameter. Anyway, people are enough to pass, and they are wide enough to wear power armor.
I climbed in first, and then passed through the 35-meter-long passageway to the bottom of the straight passageway. There was also a layer of rock about one centimeter thick, which was intentionally left behind. I scanned the latter situation here with an electromagnetic scan. After confirming that no one was behind, he opened a hole in the stone with a punch.
Lifting off the thin layer of rock skin at the entrance, we entered the space behind. Obviously, the landslide is also very powerful. The original aisle is no longer visible at all. What can be seen is that there are large blocks of stone or concrete everywhere, and there are some exposed steel bars and hydraulic support beams. There are some narrow passages among these messy things, of course, the gaps between the stones supporting each other. Such passages can only be said to be barely passable, but they can only climb forward with hands and feet. It is impossible to stand up and follow Ben.
After I got in from the tunnel we dug, I started to crawl forward along the gap between the stones in front of me, and the people behind could only keep up, because the tunnel was so narrow, there was no way to run parallel.
I climbed a short distance in front of me and found that a stone had sealed the passageway halfway, and the remaining gap was small. If I removed the power armor, I could squeeze it over, but even if I could remove the power armor, the guide at the back Obviously this cannot be done. All around us is uranium ore with intense radiation. Those ordinary people just have to vomit blood within one minute of taking off their clothes. There will be no doubt within two minutes. So I have to find a way to clear the road.
This rock is not large, it is easy to get rid of it, but the problem is that it is still on top of it. If I break this stone, the stone above will fall. Moreover, the vibration may cause a chain reaction, or we may all be buried alive. I'm fine anyway. Even if the entire mountain collapsed, the atomic armor could withstand it. Using programmable atoms to dig a little bit, I can go out sooner or later, but the guides in the back and the people waiting for rescue in the front cannot. So you have to be careful.
Take a look at the structure of this stone. I carefully cut a third of the rock with the laser cutter of the multi-tool on my wrist, so that there was enough space for everyone to climb over.
After I opened the passage, I continued to move forward. Fortunately, although the road behind was not easy to go, I still managed to pass.
After climbing for seven or eighty meters in a pile of stones, I finally got out of the crooked stone passage. I don't know where this place is because the original map is useless because of landslides and mountain movements. All I know is that this was a fork in a passage, but half of it was blocked. I can see a huge gate in this part, but it looks like 80% of it can't be opened.
"What's wrong? No more road?" The people behind climbed out one after another, and saw the large iron gates in front of them stunned.
One of the wizards opened his wrist computer and operated it, then said, "This should be the isolation door of the rest area. Damn, how come here! This thing should be hundreds of meters away!"
"Is there such a large range of mountain movement?"
"No, right." A guide next to him operated the wrist computer and said, "This door hasn't moved yet."
"Impossible! We didn't ..." The guide was half-chucked.
The latter guide continued: "Understood? The passage has collapsed, and we are not on the same road. The collapsed rock on the ground raised the ground, and we started to climb up from this point. This position It just happened to be the original rest area. "
"If we say so, our current position should be near the original rest area." The former guide said, "If you say that, the trapped person should be here not far."
"Where was the last person located?" I asked.
"Here." One of the wizards showed me the screen of my wrist computer.
"It doesn't look far, but it's not in the right direction!"
"Or dig down?" One of the guides asked.
"No, the rock is too thick and uneven, so it is not easy to dig it down. It will be more troublesome to cause a second landslide. You must find your way." Another suggested. I looked at the surrounding topographic map, and then re-scanned the current situation, and then said: "It is a passage less than ten meters forward from here. You can dig through these meters and you can go there. Dig. "
So this place is also suitable for us to be a rescue team. The passages in front of them are blocked by hundreds of thousands of kilograms of rocks. Without excavators, humans have no way to take these things, but the road in front of them collapsed like that. The excavator dug in a little bit and did n’t know it was a monkey Things are more convenient by comparison. We have reached this depth in less than an hour and a half, and the speed of moving these boulder is not slower than the excavator at all.
The eight guides looked at us in pairs and two, as if the courier company was loading and unloading a few hundred kilograms of boulder to pick them up, one by one did not know what to say.
Soon we cleared the stone in front of a channel ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and found that the front was really a horizontal channel, but the outer wall had been damaged, which just let us in. After entering from here, you can see a door on the left front, similar to the previous one. In fact, these two doors are the two entrances to the rest area. The door in front of us was bypassed by carrying stones, but there is no way around this door.
This kind of door is a sliding door, which needs to be opened to the left and right sides, but the outer channel is deformed. There is no space for the door to slide at all, so we have only two options. Either remove it or make a hole in it.
The thickness of the protective door in a safe house in a uranium mine can be imagined. It is unrealistic to tear down and it is not easy to punch holes. Fortunately, we are all destruction kings. The high-frequency vibrating blades were put together, and a small hole that could barely climb past was soon opened.
As soon as the door was opened, I smelled a smell. Unlike the guide, my helmet mask is open, and I'm not afraid of radiation anyway. The strong smell here indicates that at least several people have died, otherwise it would not be so strong, but compared to this, I also smelled a bit of bad smell, like the smell of battery fluid. It is estimated that the device was smashed It leaked.
Carefully drilled through the entrance and exit, the taste inside became even more unpleasant. In addition to the two more serious strange smells before, there was a smell of something burning, and there seemed to be a more and more serious trend.
I activated all the scanning devices on my body to scan the surrounding environment, and then the target was fixed on a small piece of gray matter.
"Your sister! How can there be purified plutonium in this place? I haven't heard that plutonium is still natural!" (To be continued.)
