Chapter 69 Radiant Beast-Marine Species
On the tarmac of the Auto City, the ''mechanical airship'' rose into the sky again. The six energy jets below spewed out blue flames. Inside the airship, countless internal air vents began to spontaneously exhale. This wonderful fluid structure allowed passengers to take off. For a moment, there will be no feeling of tightness in the chest, let alone the so-called airsickness.
?First the vehicles on the tarmac gradually became smaller, then the tarmac turned into palm-sized squares, and finally the entire car city turned into a small black dot.
?Du Zhaodi is not the only one on this ‘mechanical airship’.
In addition to her, there are also Gao Gong, Zhao Ji, and an entire tactical team of exoskeleton warriors.
I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but this time the leader of the team was still Major Zhou Cong.
?Zhou Cong had a complicated expression as always. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I hope this cooperation will be pleasant, Major Gao."
That''s right, the senior engineer has been promoted to the military adviser of the security corps, with the rank of major.
“Of course, there is no time when our cooperation is not pleasant,” Gao Gong glanced at Zhao Ji, then looked at Du Shaodi who was carefully flipping through the information, and said with a smile:
“The trio from the factory are back together again, and everyone seems to be very happy.”
“You are right, Xiao Zhao.”
Zhao Zhuo''s face darkened, he took a deep breath and forced a smile: "You are right, Major Gao."
“I would like to ask, which one is bigger, the major, or you, the captain?”
Zhao Zhuo gritted his teeth and said, "I only have the rank of second lieutenant, how can I compare with you."
"Tsk, the second lieutenant can make life worse than death, so what can the major do?" Gao Gong thought seriously for a moment, and suddenly looked at Du Zhaodi affectionately.
“I understand, it’s teasing women!”
?Du Zhaodi glanced at him dissatisfied and shook the information in her hand.
?This girl with the ponytail is definitely a workaholic. She just submitted her "membership qualifications" yesterday and started typing the application report for factory equipment today.
Zhao Zhuo''s face turned red from suppressing it. This dog food was poisonous, but thinking of his great future, he forced out an ugly smile.
“I’m going to get some air!”
“He is here to steal our technology,” Du Zhaodi said without looking up while writing the report.
“How can these people give up easily without shedding tears before seeing the coffin?”
“What are you going to do?”
“Nothing can be done,” the senior engineer shrugged. “They want technology, so give it to them. Open the market and let the competition be fair.”
?Du Zhaodi took a serious look at him to make sure he was not talking nonsense, then stretched out a slender hand with a layer of calluses, squeezed his palm, and got back to work again.
?The senior engineer glanced at the other person, pondered for a moment, opened the system panel, and poured experience into his first deputy position.
[You will raise [Industrial Materials Science] to lv5]
Lv5: Transform, repair, and synthesize most mechanical materials
[You will upgrade [Mechanical Transformation] to lv5]
Lv5: Master the design principles of mechanical bodies and be able to upgrade the performance of some mechanical bodies
[You will upgrade the junior worker of Factory No. 4 to lv5]
[You trigger the job transfer task, mid-level worker in Factory No. 3]
【Job transfer task: self-cultivation for technical jobs】
Task content:
1. Bring the old with the new. Find a master to help you become familiar with the processes and types of work in the machinery factory.
2, Mechanical maintenance, carry out maintenance work on ten mechanical bodies
That’s indeed the case!
??The promotion tasks for entry-level workers are most likely related to the factory.
All job transfer tasks are not created out of thin air, nor are they divorced from reality.
For example, "child labor (factory worker is the simplest maintenance work, the level of a car wash shop.
?As for the ''junior workers'', they need to master some knowledge of precision maintenance, build a small robot, replace a prosthetic body, etc.
And ‘intermediate level workers’. The assembly and maintenance of ''advanced mechanical bodies'' require the use of production lines.
As for ‘advanced engineering’, it refers to the modular installation and operation of some large mechanical systems, such as aerospace systems, war fortresses, and prosthetic factories.
? Only by combining theory and practice can one become a true technical master - technician for short.
Gao Gong grabbed Du Zhaodi’s hand and said sincerely:
“Director Du, please take me with you. I want to enter the factory.”
?Du Zhaodi blinked, and a big question mark flashed on her white forehead.
…
?The place where Gao Gong and his team are going is the third link of the ‘Classic Hunter Mission Chain’, the cemetery of the older generation of mechanical hunters.
Hunter Cemetery is not within the limits of Motor City. It is separated by two oases and is close to the edge of the central desert.
The area next to the Central Desert is not called the Western Desert, but the Blue Desert.
? And the frontline mechanical corps is not fighting against land beasts. To be precise, it should be called marine radiation species.
…
On most living planets, the number of marine organisms exceeds that of terrestrial organisms by an order of magnitude.
?Especially when mechanical civilization carries out ‘industrialization’, or when carbon-based civilization carries out ‘genetic reconstruction’, the types of life on land will only decrease rapidly.
The ‘Battle of Hydera’ was just the outpost of the ‘Beast Mechanism Disaster’.
The level of harm it causes is only at the level of a ‘Mechanical City’.
??But the ‘zoological disaster’ is a Star Wars that covers all the twenty-two colonial areas.
The source of its troops comes from the ocean.
?Life battleships cooperate with mechanical species, or mechanized super ocean life forms.
In addition, the battlefield is an endless sea.
As strong as the ‘Mother City’, several colonies were also destroyed in land and sea wars.
??Without the "Beast Mechanism Disaster" that caused the internal emptiness in the three mother cities, the final "Cyber ??Tide" may not have been successfully launched.
You must know that behind the mother city, there is an advanced civilization at the level of a galaxy cluster. What the frontline corps is fighting against is the submarine radiation beasts that are constantly coming ashore from the ocean.
??The radiation field in the uninhabited area seriously interferes with the quality of aerial photography, but it can still be seen that the map has changed from large areas of red to large areas of black.
The classical mechanical hunters’ ‘Western Expedition’ almost penetrated the entire central desert.
?It is a pity that the sudden onset of biological rejection brought this post-disaster human self-rescue operation to a dismal end.
?When the initial hope turned into the final swan song, Lao Sun became a deserter, or in other words, a gravekeeper.
He stored some precious biological modification information and some human corpses at the end of the Western Expedition, at a place called the Hunter''s Tomb.
“Major Gao, please come to the cockpit.”
Zhou Cong''s voice was a little nervous on the loudspeaker. The sleeping senior engineer opened his eyes, gave Du Shaodi a comforting look, and walked into the cockpit in three steps and two steps at a time.
As the cabin door closed, Zhou Cong didn''t waste any time and said directly: "There''s trouble."
Gao Gong glanced at the airborne radar. The numbers on it were a mess. Through the window, he could clearly see that under the gloomy sky, there were dark clouds and storms visible to the naked eye, even forming a huge vortex.
“The atmosphere is choked with nuclear waste, how can there be thunderclouds?” Gao Gong looked surprised.
“It’s the Thundercloud Electric Eel, a marine radiation creature. It can stir up strong winds and huge waves on the sea, and can even overturn warships. It is the biggest trouble for colonial transportation.”
?The senior engineer didn’t ask the other party how he got ashore, but just stared at the ice flowers that kept popping up on the window glass.
“What’s your suggestion?”
The pilot wiped his cold sweat and said, "There are two options. One is to rush through the thundercloud storm before it is completely formed, and the other is to change the route and go to the nearest oasis and wait for the storm to pass before sailing."
“How long will it take?”
“At least five days.”
The senior engineer let out a breath and followed the command''s plan to leave in the morning and return in the evening. During this period, he would 3D print a temporary factory and airdrop various equipment. If everything went well, he would be able to produce a ''biological weapon'' that night.
The attack of the beast tide will only take place within a day or two.
Wait for five days until the day lilies are cold.
“What level of monster is the Thundercloud Electric Eel?”
“According to the standards of radiation beasts, they are level C, but the energy contained in the body of radiation beasts in the sea is generally two to three times that of land radiation beasts.”
“I have no choice but to force my way through.”
“Turn off all electronic equipment and energy weapons, and turn the energy furnace to minimum power.”
“Prepare landing equipment for everyone and be ready for airborne landing at any time.”
?The senior engineer paused and said, "Also, open the hatch and let me out."
They were all old acquaintances and knew the senior engineer’s abilities, so everyone took action immediately.
…
The cabin door opened, and the violent wind and waves hit Gao Gong''s face like a knife. The "enhanced motor" on his knees was fully powered. Against the strong wind, Gao Gong climbed up the ladder step by step to the top of the airship.
Fortunately, there are many gaps between the top armor and the armor, and there is a place to stand. He does not have to worry about being blown away by the storm.
?Taking out the ''Neural Frequency Amplifier'' and hanging it on his ear, the senior engineer immediately sensed that there was a sound similar to the rapid tapping of a typewriter coming from inside the storm.
According to Zhou Cong, many colonial cargo ships heard this sound, their routes were disrupted, and then disappeared.
?Gao Gong took a deep breath and opened the radiation field.
The next moment, a ball of blue light enveloped the entire airship.
In the "line of sight" of senior engineers, the radiation field in the sky is more of a "charged particle flow" than a "neutron ray".
? No matter how fierce a nuclear war is, it will not explode to the bottom of the sea.
So the species of ocean radiation is more about energy variation than radiation variation.
?A blue eel more than ten meters long emerged from the thundercloud. Its surface flashed with circuit-like patterns, and there were four pairs of ''dragonfly wings'' growing on both sides.
Like a big flying snake, he looked at the senior engineer curiously.
Gao Gong''s expression remained unchanged. The transparent tentacles popped out from his temples and shook slowly. With the help of the ''neural frequency amplifier'', he tried his best to exude a friendly emotion.
Generally speaking, as long as high-level radiation beasts do not take the initiative to attack, low-level radiation beasts will not come up to stir up trouble.
?But this is just a general situation. No one knows the habits of marine mutated species.
Fortunately, this blue electric eel was quite well-behaved. It bumped into the armor of the airship out of curiosity and swam over.
Gao Gong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
?So during the storm, the senior engineer opened a radiation field and disguised himself as an ''airship mechanical beast'', while informing the driver of the direction through the ''sub-body'', transforming into a ''naked radar''.
As long as you are not unlucky enough to be struck by lightning, you should have no problem getting through.
?The wind changed from weak to strong, and then weakened again. The visible storm gradually appeared in the rear. Before the senior engineer could breathe a sigh of relief, the corner of his eye suddenly twitched fiercely.
There were a dozen electric eels that rushed over menacingly.
During the storm, it was not that he had never bumped into these thundercloud electric eels, but there were at most two or three, and he carefully avoided them.
How come there are so many all at once!
?These electric eels broke into the radiation field with great force. Gao Gong was distracted and quickly stopped the exoskeleton warriors who were ready to attack.
In his own radiation field, he did not feel that the other party had any ambition to "conquer the upper level", but instead felt a very anxious physiological state.
?This state is very much like rushing to poop, oh no, it’s like laying an egg.
