Chapter 960 Pre-War Hospital, Abandoned Tunnel Boring Machine!
"We will never have a conflict with the Foundation caravan. We just need to give them what they want.
"Even looking at their current performance, this group of people probably doesn't want to have any communication with us. They just want to clear a place for those outsiders to find mature and calm fans."
"In this case, we only need to report this news to the Qinggang Shelter at the right time, and they will handle the rest of the trouble."
Chapman's plan is very long-term, and it doesn't seem to be something he came up with on a whim.
Facts have proved that the desire for revenge can really make people grow quickly.
A long time ago, he was just the captain of a combat brigade in the Qinggang Shelter, but now he has grown into the deputy manager of the Giant City Shelter and the master of force.
It was this blood feud that supported him to keep moving forward.
And the reason why Aldridge promoted Chapman was also very simple. The Giant City Shelter really needed a "hawkish" figure to ensure that the benefits it should have would not be lost inexplicably.
"I understand. I will bring it up when the meeting starts. "
Watching more and more predators hiding in the ruins of buildings being "cleaned up" by the power mecha in the video, Aldridge's face changed, and finally he sighed slightly and got up to leave.
Each shelter will keep some predators above it to act as its eyes and ears.
If the person they offended was a cross-river dragon, he would still want to go out and mediate.
But this group of people from the foundation are obviously gods who have descended from heaven.
Kindness does not mean weakness.
Between the interests of the Giant City Shelter and the predators, these non-staff personnel, Aldridge naturally chose the former.
Besides, he also knew that if the Sunny Harbor Shelter really dominated, it would not help the future situation of Sunny Harbor City, but might even cause unnecessary trouble.
"It would be great if it could be stable forever, why bother"
Turning his head to look Chapman sat down and stared at the screen intently.
The door closed.
Aldridge narrowed his eyes slightly, and his figure disappeared into the darkness of the corner.
Fifth Ring Road of Qinggang City.
The scavengers who went to Kaixuan Hospital to find mature and calm powder were walking cautiously on the road full of big potholes, passing through the plant territories lying on the ground.
Walking on both sides of the team, the two caravan guards did not skimp on their saliva and kept describing the characteristics of each unfamiliar radioactive plant. Among them, there are red high-risk plants that will threaten the life of creatures, and there are green, healthy and practical wild fruits.
Without the destruction of human beings, the once prosperous metropolis has gradually been occupied by plants again, becoming a steel kingdom growing in the rainforest.
"About 600 meters ahead is our destination today, Kaixuan Hospital. "
Darren was quite quick in clearing the surrounding threats.
Before the team arrived at Triumph Hospital, he had already arrived and started to introduce.
"The Triumph Hospital in the pre-war era was the second largest medical institution in the entire Qinggang City. It had two 29-story buildings and a ground outpatient facility covering an area of nearly 20,000 square meters. When the economy was booming, many wealthy people came here every year to recuperate. "
"At the same time, this is also an industry under the Qinggang City Triumph Group. As a large enterprise mainly engaged in construction, the Triumph Group's business scope is very wide. Most of the buildings you can see in the entire Qinggang City have their design language. "
"This is good news, because we can roughly find the emergency population and facility storage of this hospital from their previous design drawings. "
The Foundation has done an exceptional job in collecting intelligence on each city.
After a brief introduction, Darren took out a roll of paper with a map from the storage compartment of the power armor.
It was spread out on a half-corroded frame, on which the general topographic map of Triumph Hospital was briefly outlined.
The entire hospital is a square quadrilateral.
The two high-rise buildings are located on the east and west sides respectively.
The one on the east side is the "sanatorium building" that the rich love very much, and the one on the west side is the "intensive care building" for intensive care.
The names are different, and the design language of the two buildings is completely different.
For example, each room in the sanatorium building is three times the size of the intensive care building, and it also uses The frameless panoramic window overlooks the entire Jilan River next to the Fifth Ring Road, which can be said to be a perfect river view room.
The intensive care building is a bit miserable. Not only is the room small, but you can only see the city made of steel from the window. The shape is a bit similar to those super high-rise residential buildings on the earth.
In the middle of the two buildings, there are two opposite medical facilities with a height of twelve floors.
The emergency department is located on the side close to the intensive care building, and the outpatient department is located on the side close to the nursing building.
"The most favorite growth environment of calm neutral moss is mostly buildings with relatively stable internal environment. They will not grow on the surface of the building in the open air like spore moss, waiting for the opportunity to parasitize and prey on passing organisms. They will not be like light and moss, like to climb high to absorb light and proliferate themselves."
"If we want to find a large number of mature neutral mosses, we must target the most stable place in the entire city. Take this Triumph Hospital as an example. As long as the energy supply facilities under the hospital have not completely stopped, this nursing building is the best place for them to grow."
"Strike? Is there anyone maintaining the nursing building now?
The building's exterior could be seen through the fog from a distance, and Feng Long was shocked.
Unlike other buildings with dilapidated exteriors, the exterior of this 29-story sanatorium building was still in a semi-new state, which was a world of difference from other high-rise buildings around it.
There were no disgusting spore mosses adhering to the exterior surface of the building, nor were there any other plants clinging on it.
If you ignore the surrounding environment and topography, this building alone would not look out of place in any modern metropolis on Earth, and it would even look a bit avant-garde.
"Maintenance? This Triumph Group is really powerful, and it hasn't closed down yet. But they seem to have left here for more than a hundred years and moved to the vicinity of the Holy City, so the industry here naturally has no value."
"Everything you see now is probably because the automatic maintenance robots built in the basement of the sanatorium have not all gone on strike. According to the intelligence we have collected, there is a super fuel rod that can supply energy for a hundred years, locked at the bottom of the sanatorium. Even if the energy supply outside has been cut off for more than two hundred years, it can still supply some necessary energy to the infrastructure in the building."
"It is worthy of being a place where rich people live, it is so luxurious!?"
Feng Long was shocked and had a deeper understanding of the life of the rich before the war on Blue Star.
Good guy, after studying controlled nuclear fusion and almost unlimited energy supply.
If human productivity wants to achieve a qualitative breakthrough, it really has to focus on artificial intelligence to replace work.
And the rich who have mastered a lot of productivity live much more luxuriously than imagined.
Take this residential building as an example. This energy can still be supplied even after more than two hundred years of civilization decline.
If the human beings on Earth have this technology, why worry about not being able to land on Mars for colonization?
"Wait, since the environmental maintenance inside this building has not completely stopped, won't there be many predators or wanderers living in it?"
"Of course not." Darren shook his head, and a laugh came from under the armor mask.
"Why?" Feng Long was full of doubts.
"You don't think that those robots responsible for maintaining the environment are all unarmed service robots?"
Darren's voice fell.
At this time, a rumbling sound like thunder suddenly came from the building in the distance.
Several radioactive creatures that escaped from the power armor rushed out of the hospital, wailing all the way and rushing deeper into the city.
Looking at the red and black blood that kept splashing out of their bodies while running, it was obvious that they were injured by large-caliber gunshots.
"Comfort is always the second priority for the rich."
"Compared to that, safety is the prerequisite they value more."
"In Sunny Harbor City, this sanatorium is probably a more solid fortress than the mole shelter. Its building rigidity cannot be shaken at all unless it is bombarded head-on by a nuclear bomb. Its internal security was once taken care of by 800 pre-war latest model guard robots. They are so advanced that you can regard them as mobile power armor."
"The most outrageous thing is that there is a small arsenal hidden underground in this sanatorium. As long as the raw materials inside are not consumed, it can continuously produce the maintenance parts needed by the guard robots, as well as various weapons and ammunition, to prevent outsiders from breaking in and threatening the safety of the rich to the greatest extent."
"Of course, I also know your doubts."
Darren seems to be introducing this kind of thing to others not for the first time, and he seems to be quite interested.
"Before joining the caravan, my father was an architectural designer. My dream was to follow him and become an excellent designer, but later I took this path by chance."
"There are many things to consider behind the design of every excellent building."
"Like this building, even if the moles covet the security robots and arsenals inside, as well as the high-end medical technologies and medical machines that may be stored inside, they dare not force their way in."
"Its underground may contain a nuclear bomb that can be detonated at any time."
"Ah? Nuclear bomb?!"
Feng Long was shocked again, as if he couldn't believe that the top weapons of the Earth era were hidden in such a building that looked ordinary, well, not ordinary.
"This is my guess. You know, there is a lot of information that can be seen on the architectural drawings."
"I saw the rough outline of the nuclear missile silo on the design drawings of this sanatorium. It may be a hidden hand left by the Triumph Group to threaten its business competitors. It may also be one of their trump cards to save lives at critical moments."
Hearing this, Feng Long breathed a sigh of relief.
Nuclear bombs are a great terror rooted in the genes of human beings on Earth.
There is this thing buried near the territory. He is a little afraid that if something special happens, what will happen if this thing explodes?
The distance between the two sides is only more than 100 kilometers. It is self-consolation to say that it will not affect them.
In fact, Feng Long has been a little afraid of nuclear weapons after seeing the genetic changes of animals and plants caused by nuclear radiation.
It's just that it didn't show directly on his face.
"Our goal is not to invade this building. Of course, we don't have the ability to enter, even if we know that there may be a large number of calm powder growing within reach."
"See, the emergency department, that's our goal."
Pointing to the ground medical complex next to the intensive care building, a group of people walked in from the scattered gates of the hospital.
Two hundred years is enough for any civilization to decay.
This once prosperous and unusually large medical complex is now in ruins.
A large number of twisted plants grow wantonly in the corners, extending their bodies in all directions.
There are white traces pouring out of the cracked ground. A closer look shows that it should be the feces left by passing creatures.
There may have been a large number of landscape trees planted here, but now only those mutant species that have survived nuclear radiation have survived.
On the branches, several unnamed mutant birds squatted at the highest point, cautiously watching the group of uninvited guests break in.
"What is that?"
Walking at the front of the team, the male gun brother noticed the huge mechanical device on the open ground at a glance.
This thing is simply too eye-catching.
Not only is the size comparable to a small mining truck, but the overall shape is also a disc extending backwards, with a length of about ten meters.
The corrosion of time has left too many traces on this mechanical device.
Of course, compared with the dozens of pieces of fragments at the back, the rust on the surface of the disc can only be regarded as a sprinkle of water.
"Is this probably a -23 model shield machine?"
Darren looked at it for a few times and gave an uncertain answer.
"The KV-23 shield machine is an antique. It still uses a traditional power device and burns methane for energy. Its performance is not as good as the later nuclear-powered shield machine."
"It seems that the real estate of Triumph Group was really big. They put this retired large-scale engineering machinery on display in the hospital park, which is probably one of the means of showing off their muscles. However, looking at the appearance of this shield machine now, it should have been completely damaged, especially the power compartment at the back, which was forcibly dismantled into this state."
Hearing an unexpected term, Feng Long looked normal, but he was a little excited in his heart:
"Is it no longer repairable?"
Darren nodded.
"This is something that was eliminated before the war, and it is estimated to be at least 350 years old. I have only seen this thing in the book on the origin of the shield machine. Even if you can really find its drawings, it is more cost-effective to build another one if you want to repair it."
"Forget it then."
Feng Long shook his head hurriedly, remembering all the confidence Darren revealed in his heart.
If it cannot be repaired, that's fine!
Before coming to the Fifth Ring to detect, Su Mo had already explained the task of collecting information in advance.
The most important thing is to find some large-scale engineering machinery.
No matter what the state is, even if it is damaged to the point that it has completely lost its repair value.
At the moment, doesn't this shield machine just meet the requirements?
