Chapter 751 God Armed Branch
After the battle in the salt field, Athena left "Nasero" directly and entered outer space. On the one hand, she wanted to escape for her life, and on the other hand, she also wanted to divert Tang Fang's attention and hide the location of the God's Armed Forces branch.
It's a pity that there is one thing she doesn't know. Iger Stetmann is not a hostage, but a ticking time bomb.
Different from the scientific research base of God's Armed Forces in "Gypsel", the branch led by Mr. J is located in the deepest part of the famous Kandonia Trench in "Nasero".
One can imagine how difficult it is to build a deep-sea base in such a high-pressure and high-cold environment far away from the mainland and with a depth of more than 10,000 meters.
Fortunately, the investment is high and the return is high. Almost no one can approach this place. Even the "Nasero" military does not know that there is a scientific research base hidden under the Kandonia Trench.
For Tang Fang, fortunately, Igger Stetman made the right move, otherwise, in order to capture Athena, he would have already torn face with the Lionheart King's independent fleet, triggering a sea battle.
The sparkling water was getting farther and farther away, Tang Fang and Bai Hao had already got into the belly of the king worm, and continued to dive into the deep sea.
The Armed Forces of God deployed some underwater drones in different sea areas to detect abnormalities in the area near the trench. Fortunately, there were detectors and high-level templars opening the way, and the king worm passed through the shallow sea area without any surprises and entered Trench hinterland.
According to the images sent back by the detectors, the terrain of the Kandonia Trench is extremely steep, like a rift that penetrates vertically into the ground, extending to a depth of more than 13,000 meters.
The information provided by Emma shows that the Kandonia Trench is not a real trench, because it does not come from the special geographical environment formed between oceanic plates or the collision between oceanic plates and continental plates.
The Kandonia Trench existed on this planet before "Nasero" was transformed into a habitable planet. It is a great rift valley with a northwest-southeast trend.
Later, after more than ten years of atmospheric environment modification and surface oceanization projects, "Nasero" gradually became an terrestrial planet covered by oceans, appearing in the territory of human colonization. corresponding. This trench has undergone many geological movements, and the central rift has become steeper and narrower. Thus forming today's Kandonia Trench.
Seriously, if it weren't for the human planet transformation plan, its name should be called the Kandonia Rift Valley, not the Kandonia Trench.
Tang Fang didn't have much interest in its origin. He only cared about where the Armed Forces of God branch was located in the trench, what the surrounding terrain was like, and what early warning and defense facilities the other party had set up.
After stepping into the universe civilization,
Human scientists are not interested in the research of these trenches formed due to the transformation of the planetary environment. As a result, the topography of this abyss is almost forgotten by human beings, and even marine life is afraid of its coldness and emptiness, and it becomes rarer as it goes down.
The king worm has dived to a depth of 8,000 meters, and there is almost no light around it, which is darker than a night without moonlight.
If it is the strong acid ocean on the surface of Akron in the Acubado star system, the king worm can dive to a depth of 10,000 meters at most. "Nasero" is different, the corrosion ability of seawater is extremely weak, and the threat to the human body is mainly reflected in In terms of pressure.
With creatures like the Zerg with strong physique and adaptability, the 10,000-meter-level water depth is not enough to pose a threat to their bodies. Not to mention the king worm known for its rough skin and thick flesh.
But the situation of the detector made him more worried. When I was on Akron, Emma gave the detector's dive limit to be between 13,000 meters and 15,000 meters, but now the detector has dived to 12,000 meters. It is approaching the limit value of 13000 meters.
Fortunately, Emma gave a new explanation. There is a big difference in the density of the water body between the strong acid ocean of Akron star and the ocean of Nasiro star. Therefore, the data obtained from the original analysis cannot be used in the current environment. The deepest part of the Niah Trench will not be damaged.
Hearing this, Tang Fang was relieved a little. Just as he was about to tell Emma to pay close attention to the situation below, another scanning image and topographic map came from the detector.
A shiny red dot is marked on a narrow stone platform jutting out of the cliff at 12,809 meters above sea level. The scan data shows that the platform covers about 2 square kilometers. The scientific research branch of God's Armed Forces in "Khanos" was built on this platform. Form a building park covering an area of 0.4 square kilometers.
"It turned out that it was not built in the depths of the trench."
Tang Fang placed the pda on the smooth muscle structure in front of him, and the projector drew a model map of the building community in the green abdomen of the king worm.
The entire park is composed of a series of semi-circular buildings, stretching on the long and narrow platform. The building materials are high-density alloy and super concrete, which are highly resistant to compression, explosion and corrosion. The buildings belonging to the park are uniformly painted in dark gray, which blends in with the darkness of the trench. Only a few buildings can see the light inside through the glass structure.
Tang Fang was particularly surprised that the "big lobster" that he encountered in the underground of "Gypsy" appeared in the image sent back by the detector, but unexpectedly, the two big guys did not wander around the base. Performing patrol missions, but fell on the open space on the side of the base, covered with large and small potholes, looking as if he was dead.
This is how the same thing? Could it be that the God Armed Forces branch was attacked, and even the construction machinery unit responsible for defense work was killed? In a place like this, who can kill them?
He suddenly discovered that there were some traces of mud and sand left on the stone platform next to the "big lobster". It looked like something rolled over it, messing up the originally even sand layer.
"No way..." He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Bai Hao asked, "Why not?"
Tang Fang pointed to the traces in the sand and the "big lobster" riddled with holes, and said, "Don't you think such traces and attack methods are familiar?"
Bai Hao looked carefully for a while, his eyes suddenly widened: "You mean...that prickly pear did it? How is it possible?!"
The traces in the dust and sand on the stone platform are very similar to the marks left by the wheel snails when they ran over the beach, and the large and small holes on the "big lobster" also seem to be pierced by sharp thorns. The "big lobster" knocked over to the ground, and can pierce such porous things, it seems that there is nothing else that can do it except the prickly pear.
"How is it possible..." Bai Hao's mouth twitched a few times. He repeated what he said just now, but his tone became significantly weaker, and it seemed that he had begun to accept such speculation. And feel speechless about it.
Tang Fang scratched his slightly itchy scalp, but was also speechless. He also didn't believe his guess. But other than that, is there another explanation? No matter how you look at the following situation, it is a chaotic situation caused by the cactus going crazy.
Fortunately, it only sprayed its air on the "big lobster" and did not demolish the surrounding buildings.
Not to mention, he really guessed right, the two "big lobsters" were indeed killed by the mt-10002 experimental body.
The battle in the salt field just now showed that the experimental subject mt-10002 had no concept of enemy or friend when it went berserk, and several clones were crushed into meatloaf by it.
Neither Athena. It is still the experimental subject mt-10002, both of which came from the ark, and are not subordinate to Mr. J's God Armed Turanx United Kingdom Branch. Athena is okay, she has a relatively normal thinking, but the experimental subject mt-10002 is different, it is difficult to compare with humans, and her intelligence is low.
When it was on the ark, it was kept by Noah as a pet, and it would be taken out every once in a while, although it was brought by Athena as "Nasero". Living habits have not changed much.
A week ago, Athena released it because it was the fixed release time. Platform activities near the park.
She overlooked one thing --- subject mt-10002 is a militant.
Of course, it will not be interested in the dark buildings in the park, nor will it focus on tiny creatures like human cloning.
In the end, it killed 3 blue whales and 17 megalodon sharks, and then returned to the scientific research park contentedly, ready to go back to sleep in the cage.
Coincidentally at that time, two "big lobsters" returned to the platform from nearby waters.
As an ipsilon engineering robot with a height of more than 30 meters, its power is beyond doubt. The experimental body mt-10002 has seen them as early as in the ark. Just because Noah was present, it wanted to fight but didn't have the guts to fight. The only thing he can do is restrain his minions and lie dormant quietly. Pretend to be an obedient baby.
It's different now. This is not the Ark, and Athena is not Noah. As a combative creature with low intelligence, how can he hold back when he sees the object of jealousy all the time.
Ever since, the two "big lobsters" fell into bad luck, were ravaged by them, and finally turned into two metal corpses riddled with holes.
Then, it was satisfied, and Athena was furious.
After that release, she never let it out of the cage again. It was not until the ambush in the salt field failed and Tang Fang was cornered that she cruelly let this crazy big guy out.
The two "big lobsters" were seriously injured, and even the mechanical intelligence brain was offline. Naturally, it was impossible to repair it in a short time, and Tang Fang was about to arrive at "Khanos", so Athena and Mr. J focused on In the matter of how to set up an ambush to eliminate him, the repair work on the "big lobster" was temporarily ignored. To this day, they are still lying in the sand next to the park. Blast into countless pieces.
Tang Fang didn't know whether his guess was right or wrong. Anyway, the destruction of the two "big lobsters" would be very beneficial to his next actions. At least the defense of the park would be weakened a lot.
Next, with Emma's assistance, the detectors scanned the sea area near the platform in more detail to determine what other defense forces there are in the park besides the "big lobster".
Because the inherent turrets and torpedo launch systems in the park are hidden in the building complex, it does not have much impact on his infiltration behavior. Instead, there is an octopus-like drone scattered in the nearby waters, which may pose a threat to the infiltration mission.
They are not active attack weapons, but a small submarine that can scatter mines. After arriving at the mission area, the closed bud-shaped structure will unfold outwards, and the spherical mines attached to the suction cups will be dropped at specific positions to prevent intruders. Uninvited guests entering the waters of the park.
After analyzing the battlefield information, Tang Fang turned off the pda, Wang Baihao said, "Are you ready?"
"Okay." The young man stood up, and the dark particles eroded his skin at an extremely fast speed, converging into a black battle armor, and then pressed down on Tang Fang's shoulder, the dark particles turned into a tide. Wrapping his body out, at first glance it looks like there are 2 black knights.
"Let's go, Brother Tang."
Tang Fang didn't speak. Just nodded slightly.
Bai Hao held his body, and drilled out from the abdominal sac of the king worm. Into the cold, murky water outside.
Neither the harsh environment protective suit nor the Marauder power armor is suitable for fighting in an underwater environment at a depth of 10,000 meters. The armor of the Zealot and Templar is fine, but as a human being, he obviously cannot wear it, so it is best The best way is to let Bai Hao use dark particles to create a humanoid deep-sea submarine. to carry out the next infiltration mission.
He doesn't know whether the central core of the scientific research park is managed by a mechanical intelligent brain like the "Void Ripper". In the scene that appeared on the Internet, the intelligent system started the destruction process and burned those precious samples. Moreover, this is the Kandonia Trench. Using a strong attack method is likely to bring unimaginable consequences. Therefore, the best way to obtain the stem cells of the Epsilonian. It's sneaking in secretly.
First, they had to avoid small mines in the waters outside the park.
When the two sank to the waters 1,000 meters away from the platform where the park is located, the polluter (scorpion), which had not had a chance to use it since it was unlocked, appeared on the cliff on the side of the trench. With a body size of nearly 20 meters, it looks extraordinarily terrifying, like an evil crawler hiding in a dark hell, with a slight movement of its front paws, large chunks of rock will break away from the cliff and fall down.
Under Tang Fang's order, countless black bees spewed out from the mouth of the polluter, turned into a cloud of black clouds in the icy sea water, and enveloped the waters around the platform where the park is located.
It's like pouring a cup of ink into clear water, and the cloudy black quickly diffuses.
The symbiont, called the Black Bee, can do more than just fly through the air. It also has perfect mobility under water, no matter it is high pressure. Even the deep cold can't bring any harm to them.
The mine's sensing system quickly detected the presence of the swarm. It turned into torpedoes, sailed towards the bee colony, and exploded into a ball of fire, sending the entire water area into turmoil.
But this does not have much impact on the spread of bee colonies. They are like a group of plagues that cannot be extinguished. They include the waters above the park into their sheltering range, and even light cannot pass through.
The high-power searchlights on the periphery of the building complex in the park were turned on, drawing thick beams of light one after another in the water, but they couldn't figure out what was going on at all, only knowing that the visibility of the water above was very low.
The key is that the sonar system is also in chaos, and the data obtained by surveying and mapping show that they are somewhat similar to large particles of smoke that can move freely.
The staff responsible for monitoring the movement of the nearby waters were very puzzled, wondering what it was. Is there someone doing some tricks in the waters above, or are these things a tide of plankton?
Combined with the data sent back by the sonar system earlier, the first speculation can be ruled out, but if it is the second speculation, why did this black plankton tide come to the depths of the trench and trigger the mine's induction system, causing a series of explosions? ? .
He could only send a reconnaissance drone to the upper waters to conduct a more detailed investigation to confirm the source of the swarm.
A minute later, when the reconnaissance drone left the launch cabin and entered the edge of the "black cloud", suddenly, the picture on the big screen of the combat command center vibrated violently, and a black shadow with wingspan was vaguely seen in front of the camera. Passed by, and then lost the signal.
At this time, a new situation appeared on another large screen. With the help of high-power searchlights, the cameras arranged around the park sent back a piece of interesting video data.
During the downward pressure of the "black cloud", there are many creatures with huge claws in front of them, whether it is a sensor device used to measure environmental data, or a drone that lays mines, or underwater Navigation marks and lighting devices are all within their attack range.
These half-human-sized creatures seem to specialize in eating metal, and they will eat up all the equipment in a short period of time. As a result, more and more early warning units are paralyzed, and even the display arrays in the hall have lost their signals one after another. .
At this moment, a clone synchronized the newly received image data to the large screen that lost signal just now, attracting the attention of many people.
In the sand on the periphery of the park, the two special service robots modified from Ipsilon construction machinery were surrounded by the creatures they saw just now, biting them as food.
What reassured the person in charge of the combat command center was that the speed at which those creatures devoured the special service robots was extremely slow, and they were only interested in metal substances, and had no idea about the super concrete structures around them.
This means that even if they fall into the park, at most they will eat up some of the shells of the buildings and some ancillary facilities made of high-density alloys, and they will not be able to cause fatal damage to the main body of the buildings in the park, which may bring A certain degree of influence, but it is obviously not a catastrophe.
Of course, this does not mean that he will let those strange creatures attack the park, and shouted to the area where the defense team is located: "Activate the park's close-in defense system, and try to kill these alien creatures with all our strength, and we must minimize the loss."
"Yes." The leader of the defense team agreed, and arranged the attack plan according to the data transferred by the investigation team, and activated the weapon units in the park in sequence. (To be continued.)
