Starting From Zero

Chapter 515 Super Treasure

Following Mei Lin's fingers, I saw something on the platform. To be precise, it was a part of something.

There isn't actually much there, it's just a rock wall, and in the middle of the rock wall is an obviously metal structure exposed, and this structure is very typical, because anyone with a little common sense will recognize it. This is actually a tail vent.

"Is this... an alien spacecraft?" I looked at the thing in surprise and asked, "Didn't I say that there are only three ruins discovered in the world?"

"No, it's not that three places have been discovered, but there are three places known to all countries, and this is the fourth place, the four places that only belong to our Rothschild family."

The spaceship on the rock wall only exposed half of the tail vent. There was an artificial staircase next to it, and there were some large steel frames supporting the roof of the cave. There were about thirty workers working around it, and they seemed to be all working. researcher. From the steel frame, you can see that there is an artificial hole on the tail nozzle. It should be possible to enter the spacecraft from there. Since most of the spacecraft is buried, there is only one tail nozzle on the outside, so I don’t know. How big is it inside? Anyway, the electromagnetic induction can't touch the edge at all, which means that the volume of this thing is definitely very large. Although the size of this tail vent should not be larger than our fourth zone, it is definitely much larger than the other two ruins. At least the parts I can sense are on par with those ruins.

"Can I go over and have a look?"

Meilin stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, and I immediately ran over excitedly. The people over there were panicked at first when they saw me, but they calmed down after they found Mei Lin.

I ran directly to the escalator and jumped up. Then I found that the entrance to the passage above was much larger than I thought. The space inside should not be created by humans. The original equipment must have been removed. So that leaves such a big hole. Walking inside from here, you can see the corridor inside the spacecraft. There is artificial lighting inside. The light is very good. There are some researchers busy everywhere. You can see many exposed pipes and wires. Some people are trying to dismantle a piece of equipment. At the gate.

After a rough observation, I suddenly remembered that our Dragon Clan is a recognized existence in the Fourth Special Zone. What about this spaceship? I ran excitedly to a place where there might be a console. This spaceship and the Fourth Special Zone obviously come from the same civilization, or are produced in the same factory, so the style and design inside are exactly the same.

A few researchers didn't know if they had received instructions, but when they saw me running, they immediately ran over, and then they reached a wall. There was an oval hatch in the wall of the place, but it was sealed. Seeing me stopping in front of this thing, a researcher said: "We tried this door. It couldn't be opened at all. The material of this door seems to be different from other doors. It is very strong and we broke several drill bits." There is no way to create even a small hole. We have even tried a laser cutting machine, but it is completely useless. All the technologies currently available to humans cannot do anything about this thing."

I completely ignored the researcher, but suddenly reached out and pressed on the door, and then shouted in a language that the researcher did not understand at all: "Requesting authentication."

In the eyes of the researchers, they looked like fools. The door that originally looked like metal suddenly turned black, just like a monitor. Then a light was projected on it and it scanned my body from bottom to bottom, and then suddenly displayed in the black range. A bunch of unintelligible text. After that, the text flashed a few times and turned into Chinese characters. The researchers at the scene didn’t know Chinese characters at all. Although they knew they were Chinese characters, they didn’t understand what they meant. The words flashed by. Then the door in front of him suddenly chirped and rose up to reveal a black hatch, and the lights inside slowly lit up.

The researcher next to him was stunned for more than ten seconds before suddenly exclaiming: "This thing actually has power and it can still work! Oh my God!"

Ignoring these guys, I just stepped in. There's very little space in here. It's only about three square meters, so it's very crowded with two people standing there. There was something like a computer console on one of the walls. I walked over and put my hand on it, and the control panel in front of me popped up automatically.

I touched under the console, and sure enough I found a small hole. I hooked the corner of my mouth, and pulled out the data cable from the back of my neck, then plugged it into the small hole. Instantly, something popped up in my sight. A green prompt, but then with a beep, a bunch of green data began to flood the screen like a waterfall, and I also fully opened my consciousness, and instantly felt that my head began to hurt, because there was too much data, here There was no cooling equipment, so the temperature of my brain was a little too high, but fortunately it was not within the dangerous range.

After the green data flashed, I found that I had successfully connected to the operating system, and then all the control systems of the entire spacecraft were online. I got a bunch of data in an instant.

I unplugged the data cable with a smile on my face. When I walked out of the room, the people outside looked at me as if they were looking at God. It wasn't until I walked outside that those people remembered to catch up.

Meilin didn't come up, but she asked me after seeing me coming down: "Did you gain anything?"

I nodded and said, "You have found a treasure."

"I know." Mei Lin said calmly: "The key is that we don't know what kind of treasure this is, and we don't know how much it is worth. We only know that it is definitely a treasure. Can you tell me what it is?"

"Special support base." I said, "This thing is not a spaceship, it is a forward base."

"Advance base?" Meilin obviously didn't understand.

"Do you know about real-time strategy games?" I suddenly asked.

Although Mei Lin doesn't seem like someone who likes playing computer games, someone like him should know a little bit about everything. Sure enough, he nodded and said, "A game like StarCraft, right?"

I nodded and said, "This thing is equivalent to the main base in StarCraft."

"What?" Mei Lin, who had always been calm, had a very obvious reaction for the first time. He looked at me in disbelief and asked, "You mean to say that as long as we have this thing, we can develop all the technologies of a race?"

"It's impossible to produce all of them, but most military products can be produced. No, it's even more exaggerated than producing military weapons. This thing can produce machinery for producing military weapons. As long as you have this thing and resources, you can build a whole set of The military industry can completely copy most of the aliens’ military technologies.”

"Oh my God!" Mei Lin covered her heart and looked like she couldn't accept it, obviously very stimulated.

In fact, I was also very stimulated, because in a sense, this thing is more important than the Fourth Special Zone. Although it is not as big as the Fourth Special Zone, this thing is equivalent to a modern machine tool master. With it, you can build machine tools, and with machine tools, you can build any industrial product, so the importance of this thing can be imagined. Know.

Mei Lin, who finally recovered after breathing for a long time, suddenly looked at me and said: "I feel a little regretful now, but I am still very happy to make such a choice. Because if it weren't for you, we might not have done it for another hundred years of research. Understand what you have in your hands.”

"Then what do you mean now...?"

"Originally I wanted to jointly develop, but now..." After hesitating for a long time, Mei Lin said: "Forget it, our current situation does not allow us to do anything else. Then, I have only one request."

"Say it."

"Convert all qualified descendants of our Rothschild family into dragons, and then it will be yours. This thing will become the common property of your dragons."

"I must refuse your request."

Mei Lin, who was originally full of confidence, did not expect that I would refuse. She looked at me in disbelief and asked, "Why?"

I explained the previous situation of Hyde, and then asked: "Do you think it is possible for me to add such an unstable factor to our dragon family? If it is like Catherine, I can accept it. But Hyde..."

Before I finished speaking, Meilin reached out to stop me from continuing, and then said: "Hyde can be an exception. He is a special case of our family. As for other descendants... we can also discuss it. If the character You don't have to accept it if it's not suitable. But you can't reduce the number of people on our side unreasonably for other reasons. We can discuss the specific situation later."

I nodded and said: "I agree in principle with this. I don't mind accepting your suggestion of transforming into a dragon, as long as you don't bring in some black sheep. But to be honest. Even if Hyde is transformed, it won't have much impact, because we The Dragon Clan has a collective will. If an individual deviates from the main will, it is likely that he will be rejected by the main will and have all thoughts and memories washed away and become a puppet-like existence. Therefore, it is better not to participate in it for people like him."

Just as Mei Lin was about to speak, a pager on her body rang. He picked it up and answered it, then hung up and said to me: "Okay. We have reached a verbal agreement now, and we will discuss the details later. The preparations over there have been completed, let’s take you to meet everyone first, and then show off your strength.”

I nodded and followed Mei Lin out. After meeting Yeyue and the others in the study, I went to the underground hall with Mei Lin accompanying me all the way. Mei Lin introduced me to everyone as the owner, although they knew it early. I exist, but it would be better to reintroduce it.

After the introduction, Meilin asked the heads of state who had arrived early to say a few words, but in my opinion it was just a small talk without any important information. Finally, Mei Lin announced that the main work for tonight would begin immediately, allowing everyone to witness the powerful strength of the Dragon Clan in order to decide on future cooperation methods.

Amid the noise of the crowd, I was handed over to Terry by Mei Lin, and he went to accompany the heads of state first. After all, he was the master, and the heads of state were the most distinguished guests here.

"How's it going? What did Mr. Merlin tell you?" Terry asked as he led me into an elevator.

I guess Terry didn't know about the existence of the alien ruins, so he didn't say it directly, but simply responded: "Nothing, he just wants to cooperate with us. As you know, Rothschild's current situation is a bit... …”

Although I didn't finish speaking, Terry also knew the situation, nodded and said nothing more, and the elevator just reached the end at this time. After the elevator door opened, I discovered that in front of us was an empty hall like a square. In the hall, we could see some people busy preparing various things. The most conspicuous among them was our Long Yuan group. Because only their equipment is the largest.

"Hi." Seeing that the support staff over there were acquaintances, I took the initiative to say hello. These are the people who assisted us in completing our mission today. Even the equipment they carried was the same batch as before, and it was obviously sent here without being transported away.

After seeing us, most of the people said hello and continued busy, but only one person in charge put down a notebook in his hand and walked over. "Master Shenlin, we have debugged everything and can carry out your maintenance at any time. In addition, we have also brought a lot of spare parts. If you need anything, you can tell us at any time. We can carry out comprehensive maintenance here, so don't worry , it won’t affect your performance.”

I looked at the large equipment in front of me, and a lot of data immediately popped up in my sight. After a simple check, it turned out that they were basically our maintenance equipment. And all the equipment that I don't recognize are here. It seems to be very complete.

After checking the equipment here, I nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"No, you are the ones who really work hard. We are just providing some logistical services, which cannot be compared with you."

I stretched out my hand to stop the other party's politeness. Then he asked: "Can we start adjusting now?"

"Of course. Always available."

"Then let's get started."

After we decided to start making adjustments, Terry immediately said: "I'll be at the end of the passage over there. Just come and find me when you're done."

I nodded without being polite to him, and then walked towards the large regulator over there. Yeyue and the others were not idle either. They all walked towards their equipment and then after the support staff closed the temporary changing room made of iron shelves and cloth curtains, they took off their clothes and walked into the adjuster in front.

Although we generally don't need a changing room when we're at the base. But not all the staff here are from us, some are from the United States. Naturally, we can't wear nothing in front of these people, not to mention Yeyue and the others are female characters, we can't let them take advantage, can we?

After we entered the regulator, the access cover outside the regulator fell down, completely sealing us in, and then we began to perform simple battlefield maintenance.

There is actually nothing wrong with our current situation. The reason why maintenance is required is just a routine, because the actions in a while are very important, so according to the rules, maintenance must be performed before important actions if conditions permit and time allows. This is to try to avoid unnecessary losses caused by unexpected factors. .

Because it was just a routine inspection and simple maintenance, the speed was very fast. However, the only ones who were fast were me, Xiao Longnu and Shuangxue. Yeyue had to replace the prototype body in the game, so the speed was a little slower.

When we all completed the final debugging and the maintenance staff outside removed the curtains, all the original staff in the base took a breath, not because of us but because of Yeyue. After all, she is now She looks like a downright beautiful snake.

"How do you feel now?" The person in charge here came over and asked.

I tried to make a fist, then nodded and said, "Very good."

"That's good." After the other party said it, he waved, and then several support staff came over pushing several electric-assisted flatbed trucks. Each of these little flatbeds has a suit of power armor, but strangely it's not our own.

Our own powered armors are all exactly the same as the armors in the game. Everyone has their own armor, and the ones here all have the same appearance, and there are only three sets. Obviously, Yeyue was not prepared. After all, her tail It is also not suitable for general power armor.

"What is this?" I asked in confusion as I looked at the three sets of power armor in front of me.

The person in charge explained: "I don't know what's going on. Anyway, the order from above is to put on this kind of power armor for you. I don't know the specific situation."

I shook my head helplessly and walked over, then scanned the power armor with my eyes.

This is a very simple power armor with no extra functions. It is a basic protective armor plus an active assist system. There is nothing else, not even a helmet. Its functions are only simpler than the first-generation power armor. A slightly better point.

"Is this thing considered a powered armor?" Yeyue asked, knocking on the powered armor in front of her.

I shrugged and said, "Whatever, we are just monkeys in the circus today. We can do whatever they say."

Now that I've said that, Yeyue and the others didn't have much to say. They each found a set of powered armor and wore it. Although Yeyue didn't have powered armor, she got a non-powered breastplate, although it was also quite crude. , but it’s better than nothing.

After the installation was finally completed, Xiao Longnu asked them where the weapons were. As a result, the person in charge on the opposite side actually shook his head and said: "I don't know. The person in charge of the weapons was asked to leave after we arrived. That's all we are responsible for."

"No weapons?"

"The devil knows what's going on." The person in charge was obviously quite confused.

"Okay, if you don't have a weapon, you don't have a weapon." I said goodbye to the maintenance staff here and walked towards the passage over there. Yeyue and the others quickly followed. During this period, Ye Yue caused another discussion when she started swimming.

The passage is indeed not too long. After walking through it, you arrive at a regular octagonal room that looks like a lounge. I saw about eight people here besides Terry. These people are not very old, the eldest among them is Terry, who is basically between the ages of sixteen and thirty, and except for Terry and another woman in her late twenties, the rest of the main They are all concentrated under twenty-five.

Terry stood up as soon as he saw me come in, and a few of the remaining guys followed suit. But three people did not move. Among these three people, there is a man who is about 17 or 18 years old, a man who is about 23 or 24 years old, and a woman who is about 18 years old. They all seem to be rebellious. The other ones who stood up were obviously better educated, although I didn’t know what they were thinking. But at least the appearance is very good, giving people a very polite feeling.

Terry gave me a brief introduction to these people. It turned out that they were all children from wealthy families, but thinking about it, of course they would not be ordinary people who could appear here and sit with Terry.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Terry guided us to leave through the passage on the other side. However, the younger of the three people who were sitting there without moving or joining in the greetings suddenly spoke: "Perform better in a while. I've made a big bet to prevent you from making it to the third level, so don't let me lose money."

If I had figured it out before, I would have immediately become furious, but it's different now. I turned around and glanced at the guy. After marking this guy as a "thorn" in the psychic network, I turned around and continued walking without saying a word under Terry's nervous gaze. Terry immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that I didn't get angry because of it. , then turned around and tapped the guy fiercely with his finger. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning of that action and expression was clear. The oldest woman in the crowd walked over and gave the guy a hard blow on the head. The tall guy immediately jumped up, but I didn't pay attention to what happened next. I had already walked into the space in front with Terry. .

This passage is not long, and there are no forks in front. After walking for more than ten meters, you enter a small room. There is only one door in front of this room, and it is a gate. It is obviously not the kind of door that people here can open by themselves.

After Terry arrived here, he said to me: "I can only send it here. When the door opens, you can walk in. Behind this is an environment similar to the level-breaking missions on TV shows. The difference is The mechanisms here are more complex and high-end, and they can really kill people if they are not handled properly. I have a gag order, so I can’t tell you what obstacles are ahead, but I know that those things are very powerful, and there is definitely nothing I can do if I go in. Get out alive. You shouldn't have much problem, but you must be careful. In addition, there are some rules that need to be explained."

"you say."

"The level you enter is a canyon-like crack with spectators above it. You can use the rock walls on both sides to move around, but you cannot climb onto the stands. You can also destroy the walls, but you are not allowed to drill holes in the walls to bypass the switches. There are no restrictions on other things. My suggestion is to let go of all your abilities. The more exaggerated your performance, the better. It is best to shock those bastards to death."

Because I felt that Terry meant what he said, I smiled slightly, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean."

Terry nodded, then said goodbye and planned to leave, but after taking two steps, he looked back as if he suddenly remembered something and said, "Ah. I almost forgot the most important thing."

"Is there anything else?"

Terry nodded and said: "Yes, it's a very important thing. There will be three prompts in this passage that you need to pay attention to."

"hint?"

"Yes." Terry explained: "Although this level is mainly about violence, there are actually some puzzles and the like, so there will be some prompts. One of the prompts is the text or pattern prompt in the mechanism equipment. . Such hints are definitely correct, but they are often very vague. You need to guess by yourself."

"Isn't this everywhere in the game?" Xiao Longnu said, "Anyone who has played "Zero" should know it very well, right?"

Terry nodded and said: "Of course I know this. What I'm mainly talking about are the remaining two prompts. One of them is a broadcast, and the other is an existence similar to an NPC."

"Holy crap, are you making a real-life game? Why are the NPCs even here?"

Terry explained: "They are either real NPCs or people arranged by various forces. Some of them will appear as your enemies, and some are simply NPCs. They can communicate with you or provide help. These people are It was arranged by big forces like us, but the personnel belong to different forces, so the attitude is unclear."

"Unclear attitude?" I immediately grasped the key point.

Terry nodded and said: "This is what I want to remind you. These people come from different forces, so they represent different ideas. If they are inclined to you, they will give help and various tips. They will even provide supplies. But if they are hostile, they may deliberately cause trouble or give wrong prompts. But because the positions of these people are all chaotic, and they will all appear wearing exactly the same power armor, so I can't tell you who they are. Which ones are reliable and which ones are dangerous. All of this needs to be judged by yourselves, so you can't completely trust these NPCs, because some of them hope that you will die here."

"Is life still in danger here?" Shuangxue asked.

Terry nodded and said: "Yes. This demonstration is a completely live demonstration, so casualties are allowed. Not only you, but also the NPCs are allowed to be killed by you."

"Is this okay? Can a test reach this level?" Xiao Longnu asked in surprise.

I stretched out my hand to stop Xiao Longnu from asking further questions and continued: "What about the last hint?"

Terry said: "The last kind of hints are ghost-like special effects characters composed of holographic projections. They can't actually help, but they will give various hints and answers. Be careful with the hints given by these projections. They What is given is often a warning of danger, and I will tell you the key to solving the danger, so you need to take it seriously. Well, that’s all I know, you must be careful, I hope you can pass all the levels safely.”

I nodded and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to die yet."

Terry nodded and turned around to leave the small room. Before leaving, he pressed a switch on the wall, and then an iron gate at the entrance of the room slowly lowered, sealing the room completely.

After the room was sealed, I used the spiritual network to link Yeyue, Xiaolongnu and Shuangxue and reminded them to be careful. Then I turned on all scanning functions and started scanning the surrounding environment.

This room seems to be surrounded by cement walls, but in fact, after our detection, we found that there are many cameras hidden around it, as well as some infrared detectors and the like. In addition, we also found that the cement on the walls is actually only It's about two centimeters, and the back is all steel plates.

As soon as we finished scanning these things, we suddenly found four steel plates extending horizontally above our heads, which looked like they were going to close above our heads. We have no plans for this, because strictly speaking the test has not started yet.

As expected, no danger occurred after the steel plates were closed, but the gate in front of us suddenly began to rise upwards. As the gate, which was obviously sandwiched with lead plates, rose, our electromagnetic scan immediately discovered that there was an electromagnetic vulnerability in the room. , and then we saw the situation outside after the door was fully opened.

The outside of this door is indeed a canyon just as Terry said, about seven or eight meters wide. The ground is somewhat uneven, but it does not affect traffic. The rock walls on both sides are obviously natural because they are not very smooth, but they have also obviously been artificially processed. Some of the more protruding parts were removed to make the cliffs on both sides less easy to climb. Although we can only see this with the naked eye, our electromagnetic induction revealed that there are cameras hidden everywhere, with no blind spots at all. It can even be said that there are at least three cameras in every location that can take pictures.

We were observing the environment when we suddenly heard the sound of a radio broadcast from above. "Four members of the Dragon Clan, your test mission has begun. Your mission goal is to pass the entire passage. The rules are that you are not allowed to drill holes in the rock wall to bypass the mechanism. You are not allowed to leave the scope of the test passage from above the canyon. Nothing else. limit."

This rule is really simple enough, and we walked into this canyon without thinking too much.

Because Terry said it was dangerous here, we turned on all our sensing capabilities as soon as we came up, completely relaxed the thinking restrictions of our brains, and entered normal working mode. Now the time around us seems to have become The speed is one sixteenth of the original speed. But in fact, time does not slow down, we just speed up.

With all our senses relaxed, we found that there did not seem to be any danger in this section because it was surrounded by ordinary rocks. I guess this is probably because the test channel has just started, so the agency hasn't arrived yet.

Although no danger was sensed. We still moved forward carefully and little by little, and walked for more than a hundred meters without any problems. It was not until we turned a corner that we finally discovered the difference here.

The floor of this section of the passage is actually a flap. If you step on it, you will fall down. And below is the compressor. If you fall in, it will be crushed into small cubes by the compressor like compressing steel scrap. In addition to discovering this mechanism, we also found some people standing on top of the rock walls on both sides. It is clear. These are the people who came to confirm our strength. The reason why there is no one in front is because they know that there is no mechanism in front, and it can only be found from here. So everyone was standing near the office waiting to see if something happened to us.

Ignoring the people above, we used electromagnetic induction to confirm the area of ​​the flap and jumped over directly. A sigh immediately came from above. Sure enough, just like those young people when we came here before, many people here have placed bets on us, and the content is nothing more than which level we will die at, because these people simply do not believe that we can completely pass these organs. The reason is because in their opinion, the dangers of these institutions are too much beyond human adaptability. Although they know that we are dragons, not humans, they have never believed that our dragons are very strong, so they think we will never be able to survive.

After jumping over this flip, we walked through various traps one after another. These stupid traps, which were like the ancient tomb traps in the game, were not only extremely slow, but also not very powerful. We almost completely ignored them, and Along the way, the onlookers around me finally began to pay attention. As for the reason why they pay attention to it, it is because of the agency we just encountered.

This mechanism is actually very simple. It is a huge stone ball hidden in a beam above. When we pass by, the stone ball will fall down and crush us. And because this section is downhill, the speed of the stone ball will become faster and faster. Fast, normal people are basically dead, because after the stone ball fell, a stone wall more than one meter thick and eight meters high rose up in front. Normal people will definitely be blocked, and then they will be caught up by the few people behind. Crushed to death by a ten-ton stone ball. However, the fact is that when the stone ball fell, the little dragon girl who was under the stone ball did not run away, but directly carried the stone ball weighing dozens of tons that fell from a height of five meters. On the big screen You can clearly see that the moment she caught the stone ball, the rocky ground beneath her feet cracked and shattered. Xiao Longnu's feet sank into the ground, but she just held on and threw the stone ball away. He went out and directly smashed through the one-meter-thick stone wall in front of him.

Those who stood on the cliff and watched were stunned. If it weren't for the vibration under their feet when the stone ball hit the stone wall, they would even think that the ball was made of foam. As for those who were watching the broadcast, they ran directly to the cliff here in disbelief. It was not until they heard it confirmed by others that they believed that Xiao Longnu had really carried a stone ball weighing dozens of tons, and also carried the stone ball that weighed dozens of tons. The ton-heavy stone ball was thrown dozens of meters away and crashed through a stone wall more than one meter thick.

It was only then that the people at the scene understood for the first time that our strength was not just that of special forces. This was completely beyond their scope of cognition. (To be continued ~^~)
