Chapter 415: The Genius Girl, the Mechanical Goddess
The quagmire of death is basically filled with swamps and forests, and is full of deadly miasma.
Legend has it that in the old days, this place used to be a lush virgin forest. There was a hidden underground military base specializing in biological viruses in the forest. However, it was attacked by a nuclear bomb on the day of reckoning, and all creatures within a radius of tens of kilometers were spared. The unique terrain and radiation have led to the accumulation of dead energy and miasma, gradually forming a no-man's land. Later, the radiation and the leaked biological virus caused some shrubs and vines to mutate, gradually forming a special biological form such as slough walkers and ooze monsters...
Mire walkers, gas ooze monsters, and various mutant insects are the main force of life forms here.
Although Link has never been here in his previous life, he has seen discussions about death quagmire on the forum.
Players in Faye and Longcheng received relevant hidden tasks, requiring players to return to the quagmire of death and look for biological virus reagents left behind by the underground military base at that time to fight the invasion of beast tides and dark forests. In the end, the player paid an extremely painful price and finally took out the biological virus reagent from the underground military base.
And after the handover of the mission, they also learned the history of the underground military base from the NPC's mouth.
The predecessors of Longcheng and Faye were one of the two superpowers of the old era. The reason why an underground military base was set up here at that time was because it used to be a crater, and a large number of Kaz crystals were found underground. After research on Kaz crystal, it was found that its powerful inert ability can isolate and prevent manic chemical reactions, so it has become an excellent material for storing biological viruses, unstable explosives and dangerous materials. It has also been directly approved to establish Secret military base.
And the quagmire of death is 60 kilometers away from the city of Shadu. If the air force base and airport on the border of Shadu are the starting point, it is only 40 kilometers away, which is not too far.
As early as when he killed Alonso, Link thought about when he would come to the quagmire of death.
Under the special miasma and virus environment, the ecological environment here has changed.
Regular beast pets, with the construction of Ecosphere No. 1 on the Gobi, Link will grab a lot in the future, and they can be synthesized at any time.
But mysterious creatures with viruses in the death quagmire breed creatures that are completely different from the natural environment of the waste Saturn.
This has never been seen in Link's "collection" of pets. Taking this opportunity to expand the types of pet library.
With his hands behind his back, Link looked at the giant tokamak ring in front of him that was spinning and releasing energy, and said, "You don't have to worry about the raw materials, I'll take care of it. The next focus will be on the construction of a large defensive force field.
Strive to be completed and put into operation before the end of December. "
Link's affirmation was the biggest compliment to the two, and Dave and Dr. Ludwig were shocked.
"Don't worry, General? Now the most critical energy problem has been solved? The manufacture and installation of a large-scale defensive force field? As long as we have the strong support of the Wind Howling Castle, Nuo Xi Shenshu and Shenmu City? We can guarantee that by mid-December Officially put into operation!" Dr. Ludwig said confidently.
Link heard Ludwig's voiceover, and the installation of Wind Howl Castle and Shenmu City was no problem. Because the Nuoxi God Tree is related to the issue of the Moon Shadow Council, some installation behaviors will be linked to the Destruction God Tree in the eyes of Druids, so there will be difficulties.
"Don't worry? The whole installation process has a green light? I will communicate with the leaders of the three places? To ensure that there is no interference in the operation of the large-scale defensive force field."
With Link's golden words? Dave and Ludwig all breathed a sigh of relief? Now it's time to flex their muscles.
"How far is the data center built?" Link asked about another key underground facility.
This project is also a joint project of Dave and Dr. Ludwig? Once completed, in addition to storing key data, the huge computing center will become a distribution center for information and data analysis in Shadu? Plus there is a tokamak device ring to provide energy , which can guarantee round-the-clock operation.
Together with the Military Intelligence Service and the Energy Center, they constitute the three most critical core groups underground in the Weeping Valley.
Dave replied: "The construction of the data center is 95% complete, and now there are only some finishing storage equipment and circuits left? Mainly waiting for core energy. Now the tokamak is officially in effect? As long as the final After debugging, it can be officially used. According to the current progress? Within three days, the spy mice will be able to upload the data in their bodies to the storage device.”
Link nodded after listening, everything was going according to the established plan.
Wait until Dave successfully extracts the plans and data obtained from the Mechanical City Laboratory Building? The Mechanicum's technology leading the entire waste Saturn will be transformed into Sand Capital's advantage.
After asking about work, Link asked a few more things about life: "Is Helen still used to living in Shenmu City?"
When it came to his granddaughter, Dave's expression gradually softened with excitement, and there was a little more happiness in his eyes.
"Thanks to the boss, she is very much better now! Every day there is a fragrant pig feast to nourish her body. All the sequelae of the nutrient solution over the years have been resolved, and her body is growing and re-growing every day. In just one month, It's five centimeters taller!"
"That's not bad, are you still used to life?" Link was very pleased to hear that the future mechanical goddess was eating and drinking well.
But when he said this, Dave's expression froze immediately, and he looked at Dr. Ludwig beside him for help. The doctor helped his glasses and didn't know how to speak. The atmosphere between the three suddenly became awkward.
"What's the matter, is it hard to say?"
Dave scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "It's not really... It's just that she usually stays in Shenmu City by herself. She doesn't want to and insists on following me, so I brought her to the research center... Boss I'm sorry! It's my fault. After today, I'll let her stay at home obediently and never let her come to the research center."
Dave and Ludwig both knew that Weeping Hollow, whether it was a research center or a data center, was a classified project.
Only Dave, Sandu No. 1 Laboratory, and Penny, the director of the Lin's consortium responsible for funding, knew about this, and other departments did not know about the underground plan in Wailing Valley.
Now Dave brings his granddaughter Helen in without authorization. According to the regulations, he will be punished, and the project may have the risk of leakage.
When Link heard Dave's explanation, the expression on his face changed several times, and finally came together: "What is she doing in the research center?"
Dave looked flustered, and quickly explained: "I didn't let her run around, I gave her a copy of an empty room, and then gave her some materials and books casually, so that she could spend time to entertain herself. Then wait. After get off work every day, go and ask her to go home with her."
Dr. Ludwig on the side also defended Dave: "General, what Dave said is the truth. Helen never ran around, she usually stayed in the house, and only asked for some books and basic materials. Playing around in the room."
Link raised his hand and gestured, "Go, let's go and have a look now."
Dave lowered his head and sighed.
Dr. Ludwig also looked helpless.
The two walked ahead, leading Link to the door of the room that was about to end in the depths of the tunnel.
"This room was originally planned as a utility room. It's just that there are not many employees in the research center, and it has not been settled on a large scale, so it has been vacant. Originally, I meant that Helen could be placed in the front room, However, Dave rejected the proposal and placed Helen in this corner room." Ludwig was still trying his best to exonerate Dave.
Link raised his hand and interrupted him: "Open the door now."
Dave's shoulders hunched down visibly, and his whole body emptied like a balloon.
Slowly opening the door, Dave saw at a glance Helen who was tinkering with the machine.
At that time, she didn't have any response, holding the book in one hand and fiddling back and forth on the machine she assembled with the other.
Dave pretended to cough a few times, attracting Helen's attention.
"Grandpa, Uncle Ludwig...Lin, General!" Helen's eyes lit up and she hurriedly put down the tools and books in her hands. The smile on her face was like the sunshine in spring, enough to warm the ice.
Helen asked excitedly, "Why are you all here?"
Dave stared at Helen, his eyes full of reluctance, but he couldn't bear to let Helen, who had just escaped from the mechanical city, know the cruel truth, and hurriedly said: "General Lin came to inspect the work today and knew that you were here, so he came here. Look." After speaking, Dave turned his head to look at Link with a pleading look on his face, hoping that Link would not announce his punishment in front of the child.
Helen nodded and thanked: "Thank you General Lin for still remembering me, and taking time to see me during my busy schedule. In addition, I would like to thank you for the fragrant pig feast. Now my body has recovered very well!"
Link stared at Dave, then turned his attention to Helen, and threw a detective at random.
Name: Helen
Race: human
Level: lv20
Occupation: Department of Mechanical Engineering - Electrical Engineer
Health: 700/700
Stamina: 600/600
Evaluation: A talented electric girl
Seeing Helen's upgrade speed as if sitting on a rocket, Link was stunned.
When Helen was rescued in Mechanical City, she was only level 2. But just a month later, she is now level 20.
This upgrade speed completely abuses the vast majority of players.
In Destiny, players use experience to level up, while NPCs use something called experience to level up.
Helen reads books in the house every day, plus fiddling with machinery, she has completed a feat that many players are difficult to accomplish in a month.
It can only be said that being able to become a mechanical goddess has accidental factors, but there are also inevitable reasons.
"I'm here this time, on the one hand to see you, on the other hand..." Link looked at Dave and said truthfully, "I heard that Dave brought you into a secret institution like a research center without authorization, and destroyed it. The rules of the research center."
Hearing the words "substitute without authorization" and "breaking the rules", Helen's face was pale and bloodless, and she immediately said: "That's not the case, it wasn't that grandpa brought me here, it was me who insisted on pestering grandpa. Come here, it's not his fault, it has nothing to do with him, General Lin punishes me if he wants to!"
What follows is a scene where the grandfather and grandson have a good relationship and are vying to take the blame.
Link watched as the two constantly excused each other and took responsibility for themselves. If it continued like this, both of them could not help but commit suicide first.
"Dave, you have a great granddaughter!"
"You brought people in after all, so this punishment is also yours."
Hearing this, Dave felt relieved and replied with a smile, "No matter how the boss punishes, I will."
"Anything you want?"
"kindness!"
"Then I will punish you, teach Helen all the mechanical knowledge you have mastered, and let her join the follow-up research and development plan."
Apart from Link, Dave, Ludwig, and Helen were all stunned.
They never thought that Link's punishment would be this.
Dave's mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say.
Ludwig also stood beside him, completely unable to understand the intention of this punishment.
Helen, on the other hand, froze in place, staring at Link's deep black eyes, feeling as if the secret was being spied on.
"Boss, are you joking or..."
Before Dave could finish speaking, Link pointed to the workbench in front of Helen and said, "Before you question my decision, you might as well find out what your granddaughter does every day here alone."
Dave stepped forward, opened the book, and when he saw the objects on the table, his eyes widened and his eyes were split.
"This……"
On the table is a palm-sized miniature tokamak reaction device.
Dave picked it up and glanced at it, and an electromagnetic force suddenly pulsated from the palm of his hand, flowing through the entire body of the device, and peeping at its structure.
Helen on the side was like a child who did something wrong, bowed her head, twisted her hands together, and said timidly: "I just watched Grandpa and Dr. Lu lose their minds and sleep all night because of this thing, watching them hold the blueprint. Thinking about it all day, I wonder if I can help a little bit..."
Dr. Ludwig confirmed that the blueprint has been in the hands of himself and Dave, and it is in the research center, and has not been taken out. The only chance Helen could get in touch with every day was when she came in in the morning and left in the evening, passing through the experimental bench to see the blueprint of the device for a few seconds.
"You made this device after just a few glances?" Ludwig was shocked. At least this tokamak device, from the outside, looked the same as the giant device they made.
Helen Chicken nodded as if pecking at rice: "But because there is no reactant, I don't know if this thing I made can start normally."
After a while, Dave opened his mouth slightly, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and suddenly asked: "Helen, have you modified the reaction ring inside the tokamak device? Its size is half a centimeter larger than the blueprint standard, and here The gap is also two millimeters more..."
Helen snorted: "This is because the grinding tool in my hand is not accurate enough, but in order to allow the activated energy to pass through smoothly, the internal dimensions have been modified. I tried to light it with electromagnetic force and found that it can run. .But after loading the reactants, I don't know..."
Dave and Dr. Ludwig looked at each other with only shock in their eyes.
As a fifteen-year-old child like Helen, with no outside interference and zero foundation, relying on the self-study and practice of this room full of books, he even solved the problem that even they were helpless, and successfully made the tokamak device miniature. change.
Electro-mechanical force surged in Dave's hand, injecting energy into the device.
Immediately afterwards, the ring of the tokamak device in the palm was lit, exuding a blue energy glow...
