Volume 20 Chapter 30 Grab It!
When the two Germans heard my question, they did not make a decision immediately. Instead, they said, "Let's talk about it."
I thought about it and said: "The most important things on the ship are nothing more than the weapons bay at the bow, the computer system at the center of the ship, the berthing area at the bottom of the ship, and the power cabin at the stern. With the number of people we have now, we can only take away the most That is, some core components, so the things in the berthing area are basically not considered. The only ones that are really valuable are the bow, stern and core. The power system of the stern is undoubtedly the most valuable, but it is definitely not small, and the power system is average. They are all dual planes or multiple planes connected in parallel. Even if we go together, we can divide it. So I suggest that we send one person from each side to search this area. If there is something that can be divided equally, we can share it equally. If it is not easy, we can discuss it in the end. As for the boat The head and the heart of the ship..."
I hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The weapon area is as important as the core control system, but your steel mechs seem to be unable to keep up with the computer performance, and we happen to lack deep space strike capabilities, so we each take what we need." , you go to the core area to get computers, and we go to the weapons area to find weapons. Do you think this is okay?"
The two Germans exchanged opinions with each other and then directly agreed to my request. Anyway, the current situation is that there are many people and few things, and there is simply no way to take them all. Rather than delaying the business by arguing with us over things that cannot be taken away, it is better to be more generous.
Now that everyone has no objections, we immediately started taking action. After discussing with Ling, I sent Ling to the bow of the ship to search for the weapon system. I went to the stern of the ship with another German to search for the power system. As for the remaining German, he went directly to the core. district.
After the group separated I entered a break near the stern with the German who was with me. This place has basically been disconnected from the sound of the ship in front. Only a part of the top shell and a bunch of suspended wires and pipes are still connected to each other. Most of the hull and support structures have been disconnected.
Since the opening here is very large, we did not go outside the ship, but flew in directly from a corridor in the center of the break. After moving forward less than twenty meters along this corridor, the road was blocked by a half-closed gate.
According to the experience of the Fourth District, the alien spacecraft seems to automatically close all the access gates after crashing. This seems to be completely contrary to the design on our earth.
Although the door in front of me has not been completely lowered, you still have to open it to get through. The opening under the door is only a little over one meter, and I can pass through it empty-handed, but the weapons backpack is a bit in the way. As for the German named Hans who came with me, there was no hope of getting through. The Iron Trooper captain aircraft he controlled was more than three meters high. Even if the door was fully opened, he would have to lower his head to get in, not to mention that the door was half sealed.
I walked to the door and looked at it, then I took out something like a yo-yo from behind my waist and threw it into the passage behind the door. As soon as the metal ball hit the ground, it immediately deployed eight slender mechanical tui on both sides, and then a round turret-like observation port popped up in the middle. Then the thing beeped several times. After making a sound, he quickly started to climb up along the passage, and during the crawling process, the top observation port of the thing was also rapidly rotating up, down, left and right.
I waited for a few seconds before saying to Hans: "It's safe behind the door."
Hans nodded, then walked over and took off the bottom of the door with one hand and lifted it up. There was a click, as if something was breaking, and then the door was suddenly pushed upwards. I looked at the pushed-up door and was stunned for a moment, then stepped over the door and entered the passage behind.
Hans saw me passing and immediately followed me in, but the bearing behind the door was probably broken by him. As soon as he let go after entering, the door fell down completely, which shocked us. Fortunately, after we tried it a few times, we found that it just couldn't be fixed, and it didn't seal our way back.
Behind the door just now is a relatively long corridor. The metal passage is a little deformed, but it is generally still intact. After passing through this passage, we encountered another door, but this door was not a gate, but a mechanical door that opened to both sides.
The little robot I released before had already circled the door several times before we arrived. After confirming that there were no gaps, it waited by the door. After I came over, I put away the robot, and then tried to knock on the door panel. Listening to the unclear echo, I tried to cut the door twice with the blade claw, and it was easy to pull out several claw marks. "It seems that this door is not too strong. Does your steel robot have a cutting machine?"
"Yes, yes, but what if there is flammable material behind the door? I use a laser cutting machine!"
"Is that so? Then I have no choice but to come." I said and pulled out the long sword hanging on my waist, then tightened my wrist, and the long sword immediately made a sharp sound, and then I pulled the long sword out. He stabbed the door hard. There was only a harsh metal friction sound accompanied by a large number of flying sparks. The long sword gradually entered the door, and there were obvious signs of redness at the contact point between the sword and the door.
As my hand suddenly loosened, the long sword penetrated more than an inch deep into the door. I knew it must have penetrated. Then I started to move the long sword and cut a straight line. When I saw that the distance was almost there, I pulled out the long sword and inserted it again at a 90-degree vertical position to cut a vertical line. After four consecutive lines came out, I immediately made a square gap on the door. Of course, the gap is only more than a foot wide and cannot be passed through.
I cut this gap just to give us a place to use our strength, not to dig out a door myself. After all, although this door is not very strong, it is quite thick. It would take at least ten minutes to completely cut out a door big enough for the two of us to pass through. Our people outside are trying their best to buy us time, and we don't have ten minutes to waste.
As soon as the door was cut open, I threw the small robot in. After confirming that there was no problem inside, Hans came over and reached in, grabbed both sides of the gap and tore it apart hard. Based on previous experience, I thought he could push open the door easily, but I didn't expect that he only pushed open a small gap and couldn't push it anymore.
"Damn, this thing seems to be stuck something!" Hans said helplessly.
After looking at the door that had been opened to a crack of more than an inch wide, I simply got in front of Hans and inserted my hand into the crack of the door and said: "Try again, I will count one, two, three and we will work together. One, two, three pulls." "
As the two of us exerted force at the same time, the door immediately made a squeaking and tooth-piercing sound of metal friction. It was obvious that the track behind the door had been completely corroded. We were pushing two large steel plates on it. Forced movement on rough ground. Thanks to my strength and the power output of the steel machine soldiers, which are abnormal enough, otherwise this door would really take a lot of effort.
Although it took some effort to open this door, what was behind the door made us instantly forget the depression just now, because directly behind this door is the power cabin.
Behind the door is a huge indoor stadium-like space, but the half on our left has been completely flattened, with the floor reaching the ceiling. I don't know if it was caused by the impact or what happened. . The area in front of us and on the right hand side is relatively complete. From here we can see two huge machines fixed to the ground and ceiling by a pile of thick metal components that look like overpass piers.
It can be inferred from the positions of these two machines that there should be a similar device in the area that was crushed to our left, but it should have been completely crushed by now. But this is very convenient for us. If there are only two devices left, we and the Germans will have exactly one on each side, so no one will take advantage of the other.
"Wow, how are we going to take this thing away when it's so big?" Hans next to him shook his head as he looked at these two pieces of equipment that were several times larger than an old-fashioned steam locomotive.
I looked at it and said, "We don't have to take all these things away. We can just take them apart and take away the core components that are worth taking away. We can then find ways to win over the other parts when the countries are equally divided."
Hans nodded and said, "That's all we can do now."
"Then let's check it out first and see if there's anything worth grabbing."
"OK."
After discussing it, Hans and I immediately walked over and started studying around a machine.
This device does look a bit like an old steam locomotive, but of course it doesn't have wheels. This thing faces the door we entered, that is, at the end of the ship's bow, is a long cylindrical tank. This is like the boiler in front of an old steam locomotive. However, steam train boilers are sealed metal tanks, but this device is not.
Although this thing is cylindrical as a whole, its entire side wall is made of a transparent material similar to glass, and it can be clearly seen that this transparent material is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers, and there should be one meter between the two layers. How far apart is the interval. There seems to be a lot of green liquid in the transparent material on the inner layer, but of the two machines, only the tank on the right hand side is full of liquid, and for some reason, there is not a drop of liquid left in the middle machine. . Of course, this does not affect the distribution between us and the Germans. Anyway, we only need to take a sample of the liquid and bring it back for testing. The amount is not a big problem.
Both ends of this transparent tank are sealed with special materials, but I have never seen this material before. Preliminary inspection can only determine that it may be a substance similar to ceramics, but the composition is not clear.
There are a bunch of complex machinery connected behind the sealing components at both ends, but they generally look like simple electrical components. Therefore, we just used light and ultrasonic bo to conduct a perspective scan of the results and recorded its spatial structure in the database. As for the specific parts, we did not plan to take them back. We just tried to cut the various parts with different components. Cut off a small piece, so that when you go back, you can figure out what materials are needed for each component location.
Except for the huge tank at the front of the entire machine, only a mechanical structure half the length of the tank is left at the back. Of course, we also used the perspective scanning method to confirm the internal results of this part. The resulting composite image showed that the outside of this thing is very simple, except that there is an internal component at its core that looks very much like the American super electromagnetic engine, but this thing The volume is much smaller, and the results are a little different.
"It seems that this is the core component." I marked the position in the three-dimensional image and passed it to Hans.
After looking at the image, Hans said: "Then don't bring other things. Let's take this one back and talk about it later."
I nodded, and then said with a wicked smile: "Although we don't want other things, I suggest that it is best to dismantle them as much as possible, and then mix them with some other unrelated equipment parts. We have the drawings, and everyone will share them equally. This machine can be easily restored when the time comes. There are some parts that we can make ourselves. If we can’t make them, we can ask for these parts when we are divided equally. In this way, we can quickly copy this equipment in our own country. As for other countries..."
"They can only stare at a pile of parts with no clear purpose." Hans said with a laugh: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's get started."
Although I don't know exactly how this device is made and how it works, if you just want to take it apart, it is too simple. We simply irreparably destroyed some material parts that seemed like we should be able to synthesize them ourselves, especially some small parts that looked critical. I simply made a plasma and melted them all into a pile of metal solution. , after they cool down, even if the gods come, don't even think about figuring out what they looked like before.
Using violent dismantling methods, we quickly dismantled the machine into broken parts all over the floor. Some were complete parts, while others were completely destroyed. In addition, we also dismantled several nearby things that may be circuit control equipment, and then mixed the parts of these things into the parts pile of these two large devices, so that it will be more difficult for others to distinguish the parts.
While completing the destruction work, we also obtained the core components we found previously. This thing is actually not small. Its shape is somewhat like a jet fighter engine, and its volume is about the same as a real fighter engine. It may be slightly smaller, but not much smaller. Its length is about three meters and its diameter is about one meter. It is basically about the same size as the German steel mech standing straight. Of course, the weight of such a big thing is definitely not light. I weighed it myself and weighed about a ton and a half. This weight is not a big problem for us, and we can easily lift it with one hand. However, this thing is too bulky, and there is no place to grab it. We can only carry it while walking, and the balance is very difficult to control.
We also spent a lot of effort to get these two things out. After all, these things are not small in size. The road we came in before was a little narrow for them, so we had to remove a few of them in the passage. The deformed part was stretched open to get these two things out.
By the time we got these two things outside, more than twenty minutes had passed. Instead of ending, the battle outside had become even more chaotic. Elites from various countries who arrived later had a melee outside the cave, and the troops who rushed to the entrance of the mine had a fierce exchange of fire with the troops blocked in the mine. At the same time, the troops in the tunnel were still fighting with us and the Germans in the ruins. People's troops exchanged fire, and the entire battlefield was divided into several sections and the fighting was fierce.
Hans and I carried two core equipment and just left the crack in the hull, we saw two missiles flying in from the outside. With a flash of light, we saw a Ring Knight and a Steel Trooper being blown away, but fortunately both sides They were all blown away by the air waves of the explosion, and there was no damage to them. Of course, we can’t just take beatings here. The Ring Knights, who had just eaten two missiles, immediately fired a row of small missiles towards the entrance of the cave. As a result, the entire entrance collapsed. The battle paused for twenty or thirty seconds before continuing after an explosion. .
"Damn, they fought really lively!"
"As long as they don't rush in, everything else is easy," Hans said.
I looked at Hans and said, "Don't think of things so simply. It's true that they won't be able to rush in for a while, but have you considered how we can get this thing out? Also, why can we block them now? , entirely because the passage is too narrow and our firepower is too strong. However, no matter how much ammunition we have, there will still be a time when it is used up, and I think this time is not far away. "
Hans was stunned for a moment when he heard what I said, and then he quickly checked the ammunition levels of other steel mechs through the internal data link. He didn't know the result, and was shocked when he saw it. Half of their steel mechs actually only have 3 to 7 percent of their ammunition left, and the remaining half only have a little more than ten percent. What's even more terrible is that heavy weapons such as It seems that all the missiles and everything are used up. The only thing that is relatively abundant now is probably that there is still a lot of power energy left. After all, their steel robots use hydrogen fuel cells. A battery the size of a disposable lighter is enough for a steel robot to operate at maximum output for a week. , and almost every one of their steel mechas carries more than a dozen of these batteries, so power is the least of their worries.
After reading the data, Hans asked worriedly: "We only have 100% ammunition left. How about your side?"
"Better than you, but only 11 to 12 percent."
"Then what do we do now?"
"What should we do? Of course we need to call for reinforcements at this time."
Hans said depressedly: "Our reinforcements have arrived a long time ago, but it's a pity that they are blocked outside and can't get in at all!"
Hearing Hans's words, I shook my head dejectedly and said, "I've heard that you Germans are quite rigid, and I've seen it today. If you can't get in through the entrance of the mine, won't you blow a way out somewhere else? Above our heads. The soil layer is only a hundred meters thick at most, so if you use your equipment to blast it forcefully, it shouldn’t take long to dig in, right?”
"this……"
Hans was about to say something when I reached out to stop him, because Ling's call came from my electronic brain data connection.
"Master, you'd better come to my place and take a look."
"What happened?"
"This... I seem to have found something incredible!" ro! .
