Volume 20 Chapter 92 Shit Luck

"Can this thing really still work?"

"I don't know. [ ]" The technical piranha clan member quickly swam to the equipment lying among a pile of rubble.

As the technician said before, the internal structure of this device is basically covered by a large shell, and all we can see now is this shell. What is inside this cylindrical shell that looks like a water storage tank is the equipment we need, but because the shell is not completely broken now, we can't see the inside yet. But at present, the shell is basically almost broken. Its surface is covered with large and small potholes, and some places are even completely deflated. Judging from the thickness of the shell, the impact force is definitely not small. However, if you want to know what's going on inside, you still have to wait for technicians to open the casing.

The size of this device is not small, and there is also a gap between the outer steel shell and the internal structure. During previous inspections, technicians drilled in through the entrance at the bottom of the steel shell. Therefore, after carefully inspecting the shell and confirming that only a few places were penetrated, the technician asked us to help turn the device over.

Due to the rolling fall, the bottom of the equipment is now inserted diagonally into a pile of rocks, so the technicians cannot get in at all. But thanks to the help of pepper-controlled monsters, turning it over is easy.

After Chili directed the monsters to turn the equipment over, the technician immediately swam to the entrance and wanted to get in. When he saw the handle of the door, he was completely dumbfounded.

The door at the entrance is something like a pressure door on a ship. There is a turning handle like a steering wheel on the outside of the door. By turning the handle, the hatch can be opened. However, the originally flexible rotating handle was now twisted like a knot. You didn't need to try it. You could tell at a glance that it was absolutely useless.

Of course I saw such simple and obvious damage. So before the other party could say anything, I took the initiative to land next to the door, then took out Eternity and pointed it at the edge of the door. Then I turned around and asked the technician: "Will it hurt the equipment if I insert it from here?"

The technician immediately said: "No, the equipment is at least two meters away from the casing." When he said this, I immediately inserted the eternally changing dagger into the door, and the technician quickly shouted: "Then It's water-sand steel, you can't poke it..." He originally wanted to remind me that this thing is very strong and I can't cut it at all, but he only swallowed it halfway, because just as he was speaking , I have cut the steel door from the outer shell like cutting a cake.

I grabbed the door that was completely separated from the shell and pulled it outward. With a bang, I was thrown out of the door. "Okay. You can come in."

The technician looked at me dumbfounded, and it took him a while to react. "Oh, okay. But you'd better lend me your knife. There are many support beams inside, and they must have been deformed now. I guess I won't be able to get through without cutting off these support beams."

"Then I'd better go with you. You can't use my weapons." I said and made a gesture for him to advance. After seeing the eternal dagger in my hand gradually deforming, the other party also understood that this kind of Weapons with the ability to transform must be high-end equipment for weapon spirits, and ordinary people really can't use them.

After the guy jumped into the equipment, I followed suit. Because the water in this body of water glows for some unknown reason. So even the inside of the device is not dark at all.

Just as the technician guessed, various deformed support steel pipes were lying crookedly between the outer shell and the equipment. If you wanted to move forward, you had to remove all the support columns. However, I just glanced forward through the gaps in the twisted metal pipes and gave up the plan of leading the researcher into them. There are too many things here. Even if Eternity is very sharp, it will definitely take a long time to cut through it.

"If this outer casing and these support pillars are all removed, will it have no impact on the equipment itself?" I turned around and asked the technicians.

The other party said while looking for a gap that could be squeezed through: "The outer shell is used for protection to prevent some aquatic animals from damaging the internal equipment. It has nothing to do with the equipment itself."

I nodded and said, "In that case, I'll just remove the shell. It's too much trouble."

The researcher thought for a while and said, "That's okay, but wouldn't it be troublesome for you to dismantle it like this?"

"Of course it's not troublesome. It's not my fault anyway." I said and directly opened the wormhole on the inside of my wrist while the technician looked at me in surprise. Then I saw ghost worms crawling out of the hole one after another. Come out and quickly crawl everywhere. As soon as these beetles appeared, they quickly materialized themselves and turned into shining beetles like diamond handicrafts. Then they started crawling around and eating the metal shell and supporting steel frame. Although one insect gnaws slowly, a dense layer of insects gnaws together much faster. For a moment, the entire metal shell and the supporting steel frames quickly collapsed and collapsed, as if performing a rapid decay process in front of us. In the end, the entire shell of the device was chewed away, but the internal device was not damaged at all. "It's much more convenient now, let's start checking."

We didn't have much hope for this thing before taking off the outer shell. After all, it was a bit too high to say it could still be used after it was smashed like that. However, when the shell was eaten away by the ghost bugs, we suddenly had some hope again.

"I really should thank the designer of this thing for actually creating such a strong shell." I stroked the instrument that seemed to have almost no damage and said: "In other words, the designer of this thing knew that this thing would fall from above. ?"

"Is that so?" the technician said: "But there are sometimes rocks rolling down on the cliff where it was placed before. In addition to preventing the destruction of aquatic organisms, this shell is mainly used to deal with those falling rocks."

"In this way, wouldn't the effect of falling rocks from above be almost the same as if the device fell by itself?"

"That's why the casing can protect the equipment." After the technician finished speaking, he added: "But don't get too excited. I found three penetrating wounds on the casing before. That means something entered the inside of the casing. Now I still I couldn’t find any scratches on the machine, but I hope they were all blocked by the support beams.”

"If it's just a wound, can we help you look for it together?" I asked aloud.

The researcher thought for a while and nodded: "That's right. Let's all look for it together. Just to confirm whether there are any impact marks or scratches or anything like that."

It is not necessary to look for impact marks or scratches on the surface of this device because the device itself does not look like its casing. The shell was originally a flat cylinder. Even if it was hit with bumps and bumps, it only had some undulations. The structure was not very complicated, so any holes or the like could be seen at a glance. However, although the equipment inside is also a columnar object as a whole, there are many high and low protrusions on its surface, and some places are connected to pipelines and some special grooves. It takes some effort to find a wound on such an irregular surface. But still lucky. At least we have a lot of manpower, so we can work together very efficiently.

——More than ten minutes later——

"Hey, I think I found one." In the end, it was the piranha clan member who acted as a guide who discovered the problem first, so everyone gathered around it.

Following the guy's guidance, we soon discovered an obvious breach in an area with dense pipelines. After seeing the structure outside, everyone frowned in the same way. If a hole was opened in a relatively flat area, we wouldn't be so worried, but now this hole is at a location where so many pipelines are jointly connected, which shows that this location must be a very important transit point. If a hole is made in this place, the possibility of affecting the operation of the machine will increase infinitely.

"How is it? Is there any important component damaged?" I looked at the technician and asked after worrying.

The other party did not answer directly, but frowned and said: "This is a very important area. The equipment behind it is quite dense. There is an 80% chance that the xing equipment has been damaged, but there is no way to be sure without opening it and taking a look. But this There are too many equipment pipes in the place. If you want to open them, you must first dismantle them. If I do it alone, it will take at least five or six hours to open it. If the foreign matter penetrates deeper than expected, it may be possible later. You still have to disassemble the parts inside, and the time will be even more terrifying.”

"Is that so?" After hearing what the other party said, I thought for a moment and said, "How do you install this thing? Are you using screws and locks, or is it directly closed with magic?"

"It's just an ordinary turnbuckle. This is not a high-end magic equipment with strict volume requirements. If it is sealed with magic, the cost will be too exaggerated!"

I nodded and said, "If you say so, then I can help you disassemble it quickly."

Upon hearing this, the technician hurriedly threw himself on the equipment to protect it and shouted: "You can't use those bugs to chew on it anymore. It doesn't matter what the casing is. Everything here is useful, and if any one of them is damaged, it will affect it." The equipment is working!”

"Do you think I'm an idiot? Of course I know that the main body of this device cannot be chewed. I mean to find you two helpers." I said and directly summoned Brigitte and Everett.

Although one is the God of Thunder and the other is the Fire Elf King, Brigitte and Everett are actually constructed creatures, which are magical versions of beings similar to robots. Although their lightning and fire attributes are greatly restricted in water, if they just help tighten screws or something, that's still no problem. As robot-like beings, it goes without saying that everyone knows how fast they can remove screws.

Although the piranha technician didn't quite believe them when he first saw Everett and Brigitte. But after reluctantly letting them try to remove a pipe, the technician was completely convinced.

As long as the constructed creature in the game has a spiritual core, it will inevitably have an attribute - mechanical proficiency. This attribute was originally used to facilitate the constructed creature to repair itself after being damaged, just like the healing technique that comes with the Paladin. However, the scope of use of this skill is actually much wider than imagined. In addition to being used for self-repair, this skill can also help constructs accurately grasp the working principles of machinery and understand how to use and maintain these devices.

Of course, the above situation was discovered accidentally because there are too many golems in our guild. But now it comes in handy. Everett and Brigitte are both constructed creatures, so they can roughly understand the function and operation of the equipment just by looking at the appearance of the machine. It would be easier to get started if someone guides them.

Under the guidance of the technician, Brigitte moved to the equipment with her hands raised like a doctor preparing to go to the operating table. Then her hands suddenly folded and retracted into her wrists, and then two things with special rollers on the front end, which looked like a vise, stretched out. Use these two things to clamp the fixing nuts at both ends of a pipe, and then there will be a whining sound of mechanical rotation, and the screw nut will start to fly upward. The screw cap that originally required the technician to twist a wrench for a long time was unscrewed from the fixed column in less than two seconds. Then Brigitte raised her hand slightly, and the pipe was removed with a click.

With the experience of the first pipe, the technician knew that it was no problem for them to dismantle the pipes, so he no longer watched them work one by one, but directly told them where to dismantle. So Brigitte and Everett began to dismantle them one by one. The faster technician found a pile of pipes piled next to them before they even had time to number the parts.

"Ah, why are you so fast? Why don't you let me make a number? How can I restore it after it has been messed up for a while?"

As soon as the technician finished shouting, Everett said directly: "We have the ability to accurately remember. We can accurately remember the location of every part we disassemble. Don't worry, as long as we dismantle it, we will be able to put it back together."

"Really?"

"certainly."

"Okay, now let's remove the cover."

After the technician compromised, he began to guide Everett and Brigitte to dismantle other things. Without the obstruction of the pipe, the punctured hexagonal cover was exposed. But this thing is fixed to the machine by twelve screws, so it has to be tightened. Because this time they were removing screws instead of tightening screw heads, Brigitte and Everett put the pliers on their wrists again, and then pulled out two screwdrivers that looked like electric drills. Aiming the screwdrivers at the screws and clicking again, a nearly ten centimeter long screw was screwed out. If someone were to twist it slowly with their hands, I don't know how long it would take.

Since the constructs can do two things at once, they were tightening two screws with both hands. Brigitte and Everett worked together, and the cover was removed in less than ten seconds.

After removing the cover. There is a big hole exposed in the machine. From here, you can see that there are dense pipelines and some parts covered with crystal shells. It looks very complicated.

"By the way, what kind of device is this? Why is it so complicated inside?" I asked, looking at this thing.

The technician took the time to explain to me while instructing Brigitte and Everett to continue to dismantle things. "The first one is the background bo balancer, which is specially used to monitor changes in the gravity field, and at the same time feed back the change signal to the gravity generator, and then generate reverse gravity to offset the changes in the gravity field."

The gravitational field is the field of attraction formed by universal gravitation. On the earth, the gravity field in most areas is basically stable, but it is different in the sea. Because the density of seawater changes with many factors, and special changes such as tides caused by the moon's gravity will affect the gravity of seawater, leaving the gravity field in an unstable state.

The teleportation array uses space magic, and space itself will be affected by changes in the gravitational field. If the gravity field between the starting point and the end point of the transmission always changes in a symmetrical way, then no matter how the gravity changes. It doesn't matter. It's like a rising tide lifts all boats. No matter the water level is high or low, if a person wants to climb out of the water onto the boat, the amount of effort required in this process will always remain the same, because the distance between the side of the boat and the water has not changed. However, if the gravity field between the starting point and the end point of the teleportation does not change in a symmetrical manner. But if one becomes higher and the other becomes lower, or the amplitude of the increase is different, problems will occur in the transmission itself.

Let’s use the analogy of a boat in water. If you are throwing a ball from the water onto a nearby ferry, the force you use must have a range. If you use it too small, it will hit the side of the boat and bounce back; if you use it too much, it may fly over your head and fall back into the water from the other side of the boat. If you record the force of throwing the ball onto the boat and set this range as a safety standard, then if the water level changes, you will still use this safety standard to throw the ball, and naturally there will be no problem. Because both you and the boat are rising or falling together as the water level changes. However, suppose that a lot of cargo is now loaded into the big ship, causing the ship to sink a lot. But you haven't changed. If you still throw the ball with a safe force, the ball will fly directly to the other side of the boat.

The principle of teleportation array is similar. Setting coordinates between the two teleportation arrays is actually setting a safe range of power. As long as it does not exceed a certain range, there will be no problems with the teleportation itself. However, changes in the gravity field of the seawater will affect the change of the spatial position near the teleportation array on the seabed. Therefore, if no adjustment is made, the teleportation array will still use the original coordinates for teleportation, and the result will probably be that we do not know where to teleport people. went. It would be considered lucky if it fell near the teleportation array. If it happened to fly into the turbulence of time and space, it would be great fun. Therefore, this balancing device is crucial to the normal operation of the teleportation array.

What? Why don't you adjust the coordinate data of the teleportation array to adapt to changes in the gravity field?

Is the teleportation array data so easy to adjust? Not to mention how troublesome it is to import data, even if it is very simple, do you have to send a data change notification to all teleportation arrays in the world every time the gravity field changes? Therefore, it is unrealistic to modify the coordinates of the teleportation array. The best way is to stabilize the coordinates of the unstable teleportation array so that it is always maintained at these coordinates, so that others will not have problems as long as they teleport according to the coordinates.

After the technician explained the purpose of this thing to me, the disassembly work was basically completed. The end result is extremely shocking. Yes, it was indeed extremely shocking, because the unknown foreign object actually passed through a key area full of important equipment, opening several through holes in various fixing plates and support frames along the way, but it had a magical function No parts were touched either. In other words, this device is fine at all.

"Holy shit, this is really shit! It was penetrated completely and nothing happened!" In the end, even the technician couldn't help but started to sigh. ! .
