Chapter 37
'boom! ’
With the final shot, a pair of armor fell to the ground.
"Huh..." Looking at the armor lying on the ground in front of him, the virtual people present breathed a sigh of relief.
After the previous 'old-style armor self-destruction incident' passed, this Xiao Jia's combat ability seems to have deteriorated a lot, his movements have become slower, and he can no longer attack...
While the team was thus able to resolve it easily, the crisis was not resolved.
'Om--' A low voice still resounded in the battleship. In the previous briefing, it seemed that the reactor had been activated.
"Come and see the reactor!" The captain and the team members here just took a breath and hurried out.
And Lin hasn't followed them out, but is checking some things here, mainly this Xiao Jia.
Pom Pom is opening some of the smashed armor here, and the reason why the armor is controlled can be found in the core...
In the main control part, there is a ten centimeter metal sphere, which feels like a parasite sticking inside. There are some sharp 'claws' on the surface of the sphere, piercing into the core of the armor.
And these spheres don't look like they're self-destructing.
Lin disassembled a sphere that controlled the armor, and found only a very simple structure inside... a metal plate.
This thing seems to send signals to the armor by piercing the claws of the orb into the core of the armor, but it should only be able to send simple commands, so there is no need for this thing to self-destruct, because it has little value in itself...
However, it can create this kind of thing, which means that it knows the armor structure of the virtual people very well, the position of the attachment is very accurate, and it will not cause damage to the armor core...
However, Lin felt a little strange. This Xiao Jia was completely sealed. Except for the bullet hole that was shot just now, Lin didn't find any other exit. It seemed that this kind of ball was installed in it from the beginning.
And the material of this ball is also a metal material commonly used by Xumin...
No, can this be said to be... made by the virtual people themselves?
It turns out that there is such a possibility. As long as you investigate it, it is easy to know. It may be that the spheres were mixed in when the Xiaojia was produced in the factory.
Of course, there is another kind of thing mixed in, that is, something that can cut off the flesh and blood of virtual people, leaving them only with skeletons.
But these things are no longer here. It seems that after cutting off the flesh and blood, the armor has already escaped, and the flesh and blood have been thrown out together by them. Lin thinks it should be the sniffing and running ball that she encountered before. .
Those small balls before... seem to be made of metals commonly used by the virtual people.
These things may have something to do with the general... but Lin felt that she should confirm other places.
Thinking. Lin let the pompoms fly out of this room, and quickly flew to the place where the captain and the others went just now - the room where the reactor was.
This place...is very close.
After a few turns, the pom-pom saw the gate of the reactor. The entrance of the gate was open. Remember that only high-level authority can enter the reactor room.
Because this is the most dangerous place in the entire warship.
"No! I can't stop!" After going in for a while, Lin heard voices coming from inside, and two rooms appeared in front of Pom Pom at the same time.
The sound came from the room on the left. After the pom poms flew in, they saw the five imaginary people.
The walls of this room are full of video devices, and various images show the state of the reactor, the temperature, and various problems.
Of course. There is also the operation panel. I saw a phantom man operating nervously on the operation panel, while the captain and the other three looked at it with anxious expressions...
"Ah! That weird fluff ball!"
A phantom screamed when he saw the pom-pom, and the captain said, "Don't worry, can you stop the reactor?"
"No way!" said the virtual people who were operating: "It's completely impossible to stop, this place may explode..."
Lin Fei came over to take a look. He found that the display board above showed a countdown, and the cooling system had stopped working.
"Beep! The order has been canceled, the permission is insufficient." When the virtual people of this operation try to turn off the reactor or stop the countdown, this prompt will pop up on the video.
"You are the only equipment specialist in our team. Don't you understand?" the captain asked anxiously beside him.
"I don't know why! Our armor should have the highest authority!" The operating virtual people said: "Captain, should we retreat? We should tell the army outside, there is danger here."
The captain hesitated for a while, and then seemed to make up his mind: "Okay, withdraw..."
Suddenly a member of the team shouted: "Wait, captain, look at that ball, it seems to be trying to do something! I remember that it was the one that broke the armor that was about to explode..."
"This ball is very strange." The captain looked at the pom-pom path suspiciously: "What is the origin of it?"
"I don't think this ball can stop this!" said the virtual people who were operating: "Captain, let's go!"
"Of course you can't stop." The pom-pom slowly flew to the head of the man who was operating, and then said in the language of the man: "Because it was set from the beginning."
"Huh?" Xumin who was present heard the pom-pom talking. [,! ], and all of them cried out in surprise.
"It can talk?" "Who are you?" "What the hell are you?"
"Don't worry about those for now!" It seems that among all the virtual people, only the captain responded to what the pom-pom said, and it quickly asked: "What do you mean by setting it?"
The pom-pom stretched out its fluff and pointed to the 'insufficient authority' on the image and said, "It was set like this when it was manufactured."
"This place originally had an 'automatic safety system', but after the automatic system, there is another setting, that is, after the safety system is activated, the reactor will be activated after a period of time, and the 'self-destruction' program will be activated."
Lin found that Xumin was using a new type of reactor, and the principle of energy production was different from the 'old-fashioned' type that Lin had found on meteorites before, but their equipment had a lot in common. It is also very easy to install the self-destruction function.
"What?" The virtual people present were shocked again, and the captain said: "How is it possible to set up such a system?"
"But." Pompom didn't answer the captain's question, and continued: "You can close this system, but you need permission."
"We already have the highest authority!" the captain said: "It's the authority that the general gave us, how could it not be enough?"
"But it can't give you the highest authority." Pompom said: "If its authority is 'first-level', you can only get 'second-level', if it is really the highest, you can investigate here. Anything, it doesn't want to see it."
"What the hell are you?" A phantom raised his weapon to the pompadour: "Is it a machine for talking?"
"Put down the weapon!" The captain pushed the phantom's weapon away, and said to the pom-pom, "What do you think we should do now?"
Pompom said, "Contact the generals and ask them to give you the highest authority, so it can be turned off."
"Contact?" the captain said: "But there has been a problem with the contact since just now, and there is no way to receive the signal from outside!"
"Use this." The pom-pom grabbed something from the fluff on the fluff and threw it to the captain.
"This..." The captain looked at the cube in his hand and said in amazement, "General emergency communication device? How can you have this?"
"Steal."
"..." Although the captain was puzzled, when he saw that the various danger indexes of the reactor on the image were constantly approaching the danger point, he didn't care so much, and quickly opened the box.
The way to open it is to press it next to it. Lin found that the virtual people like to use this block to make calls, but this block has many capabilities that other devices do not have. One thing is that it has strong communication capabilities. You can have conversations in the middle and far away.
However, this thing can only be contacted at a fixed point, for example, this can only contact the general's base.
"General! We must have the highest authority!" The captain opened the box and shouted inside. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the general's angry voice sounded: "How did you get this thing?"
"That..." The captain was stunned for a moment, and then said: "General, there is a big problem here, the reactor has a problem, it is going to explode!"
"What?" An extremely surprised shout came from there: "How is it possible!"
It turns out that this has nothing to do with the general.
After hearing the general's words, Lin was basically certain. Although the general was not here, she could feel his emotions from his words.
Lin thinks that 'the reactor is set with a self-destruction system', and this thing may be done by the general.
But looking at its reaction now, it should be impossible, and the general should not hope to blow up here, after all, it is the latest battleship it has built with all its strength.
That being said... the problem should be in the construction of the battleship.
"Only the highest authority can stop the explosion!" The captain said: "Please send the highest authority over here! Otherwise, the entire battleship will blow up, and it will spread to the surrounding areas! Hurry up, it will explode in thirty seconds!"
"You..." The general seemed a little hesitant about whether what the captain said was true, but he said quickly: "The communication device you are holding will unlock the permission by touching the operating image."
"That's it?" The captain heard the words and immediately placed the cube in his hand on the operating image.
"Beep! Permission unlocked!"
