Chapter 105 There Is Really a Ghost
An NPC instructor stood up with a notebook. "We can understand most of the abilities you mentioned, but why do we need to learn negotiation, appraisal, and intelligence collection? These have nothing to do with bandits, right?"
A monster also stood up and said: "Yes, boss, we have been doing robberies for so long and never heard that we need to learn these things?"
"It's because you haven't learned these things, so you are always just little robbers and can't become a big deal." I waved the two of them to sit down, and then began to explain: "First comes the negotiation. You said that when you robbed before, if both sides were evenly matched, What do you do?"
Xiao Hei, the black bear spirit who was the leader of this gang of monster bandits, stood up: "We all rely on bravery to fight hard, or give up voluntarily."
"Then tell me what are the consequences of fighting hard and giving up?"
"If you fight hard, many companions will die and many wounded will be left behind, but you can usually get the goods. It's safest to give up, but you won't get anything. But sometimes the other party will send someone out to tell us to leave some supplies and then Let’s let them pass.”
I nodded and motioned for Xiao Hei to sit down. "You have also heard that you often encounter situations that require negotiation. At this time, how to obtain the most reasonable quantity of goods becomes the role of negotiators. You can get more supplies without any effort. This kind of futility Don’t you want this business?”
"Of course." The monsters shouted excitedly, as if they were already counting the money.
"In addition to negotiations, there is also an intelligence and an appraisal. Let's talk about intelligence first. You used to squat near traffic arteries to rob, and people called you bandits. In fact, this is a very backward way of action. You guys Generally speaking, you can't cause any real harm to passing merchants, so the local occupiers don't bother to care about you. But since you are here for training, I will let you become a paramilitary bandit group with sufficient deterrence. Once your business is done Big. The local managers will definitely come forward to exterminate you, and as bandits, you basically have nothing to hide from. Everyone knows you are on this mountain anyway. I said from the beginning that you should improve your mobility, which is actually in line with this. The intelligence battlefield requires that as long as you have speed and accurate intelligence, your strike surface can be expanded to a large area and rob any passing wealth within a large area."
"Just to increase the attack surface, wouldn't it be appropriate to open a special intelligence course?"
"Of course it's suitable. And it's very suitable. It's impossible for you all to gather together after you are sent to rb. You will definitely be divided into multiple groups, and each group will be responsible for it. After you have the information, you can screen it in advance. Some are more difficult. If you don't have much money, you can just let it go. This saves manpower, and other normal property can be snatched directly. As for the last one, a very dangerous operation with huge wealth, you can rely on your excellent maneuverability and intelligence. The network invites all nearby gangs to have a big battle. Divide the stolen goods on the spot and immediately separate and escape. In this way, the safety and success rate of your robbery will be greatly improved. At the same time, your robbery method is no longer simple. Block the road. Because the scope of activities is large enough and the intelligence is complete enough, you can even conduct a surprise attack at the opponent's resting point. If necessary, you can even gather nearby gangs to directly take out a relay station."
I was talking loudly on the podium, and the instructors below were all holding notebooks and taking detailed notes, while the monsters on the other side simply had their eyes shining with stars and their mouths were drooling, as if they were in a state of excitement.
"Intelligence, mobility, and cooperative warfare, this is the most suitable combination I have chosen for you. The bandit group cannot exchange casualties for wealth. This would cause too much loss and is not efficient. You are the bandits of the new era. There must be new ideas, new equipment, and new methods. The excellent traditions of the past must be carried forward, but more attention should be paid to the use of new methods. Okay, now let’s talk about the last item, appraisal skills.” I pointed at Xiao Hei. "Have you ever encountered a situation where the enemy came just as you were halfway through a robbery?"
"Of course! It's really annoying to say that that time we just grabbed a bunch of military equipment. Then the enemy's army came. We really had no choice but to grab a few knives and ran away. We couldn't help but look at the pile of things. It’s so painful to take away!”
I smiled and said: "Not only will this kind of thing happen in the future, but it may become more frequent, because once your activities become rampant, the local lords will inevitably strengthen public security management and will not give you much time to divide the spoils and transport the dirty land. I will give you at the beginning The transportation tools provided only allow you to transport as much stuff as possible, but this still does not guarantee that you will have enough left. But taking what is left is a matter of science. In the past, you only grabbed food, weapons and valuables. . That doesn’t require too much professional skills. But it’s different now. You are a semi-military bandit group. Not only do you want crystals and gems, but also other materials. In the past, you only grabbed swords and the like. You may even have to grab the cannons, but you will suffer a loss if you can't distinguish the grade of the ordnance. Also, in the future, you will be exposed to a lot of raw ores. If you accidentally leave the raw magic crystal ore behind, you will get some white diamonds back. , that would be a big loss. So you must learn appraisal skills, be able to distinguish simple quality and value, and evaluate the value of shipping back horizontally. Take the most valuable ones quickly. If the enemy comes after you, you It’s not a pity to leave something worthless behind.”
"Boss is wise." The monsters below were all excited. They had experienced what they told me before, and they were naturally excited to hear my solution.
I smiled and said to them: "I said it was a class today, but in fact I just told you what you want to learn. How to do it in order will have to be learned later. In short, you try your best. As long as you graduate. I can send you to rb to participate in gang activities, and you will become the most famous bandit group."
I was almost exhausted from the class. Since I was little, I have been taught by others. It was only when I taught lessons for the first time that I realized that the teacher was not that good. At least the teaching is over, I have to run quickly. The demon students were assigned to classes by Vader, and then they practiced like regular soldiers. He took advantage of this time to find teachers who met my requirements. If you want to teach assassination, you have to hire an assassin. If you want to teach Taoism, you have to hire a Taoist priest. If you want to teach appraisal, you will naturally need an appraiser. Fortunately, Essinger is a huge comprehensive metropolis with a full range of talents, so it is not that troublesome to find one. But no matter how troublesome it is, it's still his business, and I can't care about it anyway.
Go back to the vault and say hello to Rose, and then take the demon pets to study my mission scroll. The National War is about to begin, and in a month and a few days there will definitely be a world war in the game, even if other countries don't start a war. Our country and rb will never be at peace anyway. Once the war begins, we will inevitably face the Great God Tianzhao of RB and many local gods of RB. These are god-level NPCs, and we players are inherently suppressed by them. Although the gods of our country will definitely come to help after the national war begins, after all, we cannot just rely on others. It is very dangerous if we do not have the strength in our own hands. It just so happened that when I killed the area guards and obtained the spirit-controlling hill this time, I also got a task scroll to relieve the suppression of god-level NPCs. As long as I complete it, I can fight these guys head-on.
As soon as I opened the scroll, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't gone to check on the little one today. Anyway, luck and silver are important forces in our Dragon Fate. Their son is also a star of hope for the future, so we can't help but pay more attention to him. First, I put away the scroll, talked to Scott and the others, and then everyone went offline to visit the little one.
The room where the Demon Pets went online was relatively close to Lucky and his friends, and everyone had already arrived when I arrived. The nutrition that little ones get in the base is definitely sufficient. Coupled with the powerful regeneration ability of synthetic life forms, the little one has almost recovered in the past week. Now the little one can basically speak, but he obviously has a stutter, and his EEG is basically clear in terms of thinking. At least it can be read by the instrument. It looks like it will take at most ten days and a half to fully return to normal.
After the visit, I planned to go online to do tasks, but unexpectedly, a researcher from the Electronic Technology Department suddenly came over and insisted on showing me something.
"What on earth do you want me to see?" I was pulled by these two young technicians and ran towards the laboratory, with Scott and the others following behind.
"You'll know when we get there." These two guys were very strict and refused to tell me what I wanted to see. But I think it must be something related to us, otherwise they wouldn't come to me. There should be no need to notify me when the technical department produces results, but since they are notified, it must have something to do with me.
We were taken to a large laboratory, and on the opposite side of the laboratory there was a large group of people surrounding a giant machine as big as a giant ship power engine. After seeing me come in, those people all turned to look at me, but no one spoke. Suddenly a young researcher walked out of it. This guy’s name is Wu Bo. He is an activist in the base and he is very familiar with me. He waved to me: "Quick, quick, come here to show you something interesting."
Hearing that he was in such a hurry, I naturally quickened my pace and trotted over there. I vaguely felt that there was a strange feeling here, but I couldn't put it into words. After running a few steps, Wei Na suddenly shouted: "Be careful."
"Huh?" I looked back at Weina and her body was still moving forward, but before Weina could explain, I felt like I had hit something. With a thud, I was bounced back by the force of my own running. But I didn't fall. As soon as I stepped back a meter, I felt I was leaning against something. Where I was leaning, a piece of light blue light appeared floating behind me, supporting my body.
I stood up in surprise, but I had just left that place. The light disappeared. I tentatively touched it with my hands, and the light appeared again, but the color was very light. Wei Na and the others ran over together. Ling and Xiao Chun both beat the void hard. As a result, the place where they were hit would instantly light up a blue light curtain, and the color of the light curtain would change with the strength. It's not exactly the same. The greater the force, the darker the color.
I was about to give it a try when Xiaochun and Ling suddenly fell forward, and the light curtain that had been blocking them just now disappeared. Xiao Wu walked over with a smile. "how do you feel?"
"How about what?"
"That defensive field just now?" Xiao Wu looked excited. "This is a sample that was just completed this morning."
"Did you do that?" I asked him, rubbing my nose. The impact just now was quite serious.
"Hey, to be precise, it's a counterfeit." Xiao Wu said to us: "Didn't Chili Pepper once use magnetic energy to restrain the explosion of grenades in a nightclub? Later, we also popularized this technology to you. Didn't you some time ago? Have you just received training to use this skill to block bullets?”
"Yes!" I asked in confusion: "But that is our ability. Could it be that you also achieved it with a mechanical system?"
Xiao Wu pointed at the big guy behind him. "Isn't this sitting there? You tried the power just now, didn't you?"
I was surprised and walked over to the machine to take a look. Wei Na and the others also came over to take a look. Xiao Wu came over and activated the thing again, then took out a gun and fired a shot at the light curtain. The bullet hit the light curtain and immediately bounced out, and the location where the light curtain was hit suddenly lit up. "See? Just like in the movie. This is a real protective cover. We have tested the interception capability. The maximum interception effect at the current test site is to successfully block the attack of an old anti-tank missile. However, when the new anti-tank missile was tested, But it successfully penetrated it, but there is no need to worry yet. After all, the tank itself has armor. After penetrating this, the missile is no longer destructive. However, this thing is a bit larger, and the tank probably cannot fit it. .”
"Anyway, this is the first generation sample. It will definitely be improved in the future." I comforted Xiao Wu.
"Haha, with my talent, I can definitely improve it to a very miniaturized state." Xiao Wu started laughing wildly, really regretting comforting him just now. Such people don’t know what frustration is! Xiao Wu smiled and suddenly turned around and asked Wei Na: "You just reminded me, did you discover the existence of the protective shield?"
Vina nodded. "We can all feel the changes in electric field intensity, but this ability can be turned off. Keeping this ability on will interfere with vision and touch, so we usually don't turn it on. If we were looking at the ground just now, Shenlin wouldn't have hit him head-on. Up there. When activated the shield looks to us like a translucent wall standing there."
Xiao Wu smiled and said: "Although you can see it, it is invisible to normal people. However, as long as this protective shield is under pressure, it will glow due to electronic anomalies. It is not yet known whether there is a way to eliminate this effect. Invisible Ground protective cover is the best choice.”
"This is already very good. Besides, even if you can see it, there is no problem. They can't penetrate it anyway."
Xiao Wu corrected: "It's not that it can't be penetrated absolutely, it's just that it can't be penetrated by small weapons."
"Anyway, this thing is definitely useful."
Ling suddenly asked: "Is the protective shield produced by this thing spherical or something like that?"
"The shape can be controlled at will. By setting the output angle of the magnetic field generator and changing the resonance frequency, the area and shape of the released shield can be controlled."
I suddenly remembered a very important performance: "How large an area can this thing cover? What is its energy consumption?"
"Currently, the total area of the protective cover produced by this machine cannot exceed 7.73 square meters. As for the location of these areas, they can be set at will."
"What? Only a few square meters?" Wei Na asked in surprise: "Then how did you do it when you stuck the divine forest in the middle?"
Xiao Wu said with a smile: "Although you are knocking on the protective cover, in fact the area where your hands and feet are in contact is only a little, seven square meters is enough. We plan to use the radar first if it can be used on warships in the future. Capture the missile’s attack direction. Then place three to five layers of protective cover on the missile’s impact point, so that the missile can definitely be blocked.”
I nodded and said: "The idea is good, but the defense area is still a bit small. What if there are multiple missiles flying at the same time?"
"This is not a finished product. In the future, the defense area will definitely be increased, and the protection will definitely be improved a lot. Moreover, it is impossible for this machine to be so big. Miniaturization will definitely be considered in the future. Another point is that you just asked The energy consumption problem. At present, we can only say that the energy consumption of this thing is very terrible, at least ordinary warships will definitely not be able to carry this thing."
"Can't nuclear power work?" I asked.
"It's okay, but four small reactors must be specially prepared for it."
"Does it consume so much energy?"
Xiao Wu said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do. The consumption of this thing is just like this. Analysis of your body data shows that you do not seem to consume such a high energy when generating the protective shield, so we guess that it is probably caused by the loss of power inside the machine. Well, this is still a sample used for demonstration anyway, and it’s still very early for it to be put into practical use.”
"Anyway, it would be great to be able to come up with something like this." I couldn't help but smile. "The protective shield technology is really good. I believe the immigration spacecraft should use it."
Xiaochun suddenly asked: "According to the law of conservation of force. Where is the offset force transferred to? Shouldn't it all be borne by the machine itself? In that case, the machine itself will also be greatly impacted."
Xiao Wu explained: "Of course, force cannot act directly on the machine. Otherwise, the machine itself will not be able to withstand it! In fact, we have adopted a relatively simple method to deal with the dissipation problem of this force."
"How did you handle it?"
"We directly transfer the force to the correct position of the force-bearing point, that is to say, if a bullet flies from the front of the machine. When the bullet hits the protective cover, the force disappears, and at the same time, the bullet at the opposite position opposite the machine All matter will be thrown out at an accelerated speed. To be precise, this protective shield directly conducts the force to the next point in space, skipping it itself, so no matter how hard it is hit, the force will not act on the machine."
"Doesn't that mean it's completely unaffected by external forces?" Wei Na asked.
"Absolutely!" Xiao Wu said: "Suppose we hit the protective shield system on a ship, and then use another ship of the same tonnage to hit the ship. If the protective shield does not activate, the result will definitely be that the ship is hit. Next to it, but if the protective cover is activated, the ship will not even be shaken after the impact. On the surface, this seems to violate the laws of physics, but in fact it is completely consistent with the laws. Because if you activate the particle observer, You will find that at the moment of being hit, the other side of the hull is spraying particles outward at high speed. When these particles are sprayed out, they will form a reaction force. This force just offsets the force generated by the ship that hit the shield. Ground kinetic energy. You can also imagine that there are devices like rocket thrusters installed on both sides of the hull. When one side is hit, the other side will ignite and boost at the same time. To ensure the balance of the strength of the hull."
Wei Na nodded: "I understand. The function of this device is to transfer the force across the machine itself, from one side of it to the other side. The impactor did lose kinetic energy, but the machine itself did not receive kinetic energy, and the kinetic energy was It is passed on to the material particles on the other side of the machine.”
"Sure enough," Xiao Wu said excitedly: "Your intelligence enhancement is really amazing. It took me two full days to figure out these theories before. I'm still called a genius child!"
"Go, you are the only one who has acknowledged your genius." I exposed Xiao Wu's background honestly and unceremoniously, and snatched the telescope-like thing he had been holding in his hand. "What is this? Have you been holding it?" I held the thing against my eyes.
"That's a multispectral comprehensive imager, which includes all the observation technologies that have been invented today. With this thing, you can see the kind of electric fields and particle lines you see. You are all like Superman. You don't need this thing. You can see that those of us who are engaged in research are not so lucky, so we can only make do with this!" Xiao Wu said and wanted to snatch it back. "Give it back to me quickly, don't break it. Each researcher is only given one. If it is broken, it will be deducted from your salary!"
"Tch, if I break it, I'll count it as normal wear and tear, and I'll just give you another one. Look at how stingy you are. I don't know where you spent your salary of more than 300,000 yuan a month!" I said while holding it. That thing turned to look at Xiao Wu, because I wanted to see how different his body structure was from ours. This thing has hundreds of observation methods, including the ability to see through the x-ray band. However, because it is an internal device, it is not decorated much, and it is more troublesome to operate. You can only select different video modes with a knob installed on the right side. I complained as I spun the thing around. "Why is this thing so troublesome to function? It has to be...!"
As I turned the knob, the image in the display mirror kept changing due to different viewing modes. But in my quick spin. Suddenly a lifeless green female face appeared in the screen, and it was very close to me. I was so scared that I even threw away the eyepiece.
"My observation scope!" Xiao Wu flew out to catch the eyepiece I had thrown away.
Ling and Xiaochun both gathered around me. "What's wrong? What scared you just now? We felt a strong sense of fear coming from you."
I didn't answer, but remained calm in the shock just now. Although I felt like I saw something scary. But I am not an ordinary person after all. After shaking my head, I quickly rushed to Xiao Wu and snatched the eyepiece out of his hand and put it on my head again. When I threw it out just now, I didn't move the frequency adjustment switch, so the display mode of the eyepiece was still in that gear. As soon as I put on the eyepiece, I immediately turned my head and looked around. The left side was fine, but as soon as I turned my head to the right, I immediately saw the green woman's face again. I only felt a chill instantly rising from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and the hairs all over my body stood on end.
"ah!"
My reaction this time was even more exaggerated than before. I jumped more than three meters away from where I was standing. As a result, I was unlucky enough to hit the protective shield again. The thing was still open! With a thud, I landed flatly on the protective shield. Then it fell down with a loud bang.
This time I was not slow at all. I turned over and stood up. After turning around, I saw the woman again, but this time when the distance was further away, what I saw was more than just a simple human face. What was shown in the eyepiece was a completely thin woman, but this woman made all the hairs and goose bumps on my body stand up.
Growing up, I thought I was very brave, and nothing in my daily life could scare me, but I had to admit that the woman in front of me really scared me. My courage is different from that of some people. I am not the confused and courageous type. I am bold because of my intelligence and calm thinking. Composed of b13, I have perfect thinking ability. I can use scientific theories to explain everything in life, so nothing scares me. But now I'm scared because I see something I can't explain.
I don't scream like a woman when I see bugs because I know they can't hurt me. I'm not afraid of going in and out of the laboratory's morgue. Because I know what's lying there is just a bunch of carbs. As for pure darkness, it doesn't have a frightening effect on me, because I know there is nothing in it. But now I saw something I shouldn't have seen.
The woman shown in the eyepiece was not seen when I took off the eyepiece, but now she was standing there looking at me. This is the reason for my fear. This laboratory is huge. Apart from the researcher, the only people in the room were me and my staff. We are now standing in the middle of the laboratory, and the researchers are surrounding the protective cover and release device at the other end of the room, more than thirty meters away from us. Apart from my subordinates and me, the only person standing here is Xiao Wu. But this woman suddenly appeared next to Xiao Wu after I put on the eyepiece. I didn't see her as a person before I put on the eyepiece. It would have been impossible to wear the eyepiece for such a short time unless she was a biochemical human like us. Sent to us from outside the room.
What scares me more is my senses. Even if this woman was fast enough and rushed to us the moment I put on the goggles, she shouldn't have no sense of presence! I clearly saw her standing there in the eyepiece. But I could hear the heartbeats of everyone nearby, except hers. I could smell and distinguish the odors of the people around me, but there was no scent of this woman in the room. I can feel the brainwaves of people around me, but this woman's electromagnetic waves are as if they don't exist. If I hadn't paid close attention when I saw her there, I would definitely not have discovered her even if I turned on my electromagnetic induction ability. The last bit of trouble was that I tried switching my eyes to infrared mode and moved the eyepieces a bit. Once the eyepiece is removed, the contents of the room remain the same. Only the woman was invisible. But she showed up again with the goggles on. I activated my infrared vision just now. Any material with temperature will emit infrared radiation. If the woman cannot be seen under infrared rays, it only means that she does not exist or has the same temperature as the air. Otherwise, as long as she is a little bit hotter or cooler than the air, she will definitely be caught by infrared vision. The temperature in the base is constant at 20 degrees. How can a person only have 20 degrees? This woman shouldn't exist!
Seeing me looking at her, the woman actually walked towards me. This time it was even worse, she actually floated over without moving her legs. Is she a laser projection? impossible! Although the brain waves are so weak that they are almost imperceptible, this woman really has brain waves. She is not a phantom. The video system really captured her image. She does exist, but she is completely inconsistent with what I can understand. of anything. Unless she's that kind of thing? is it possible?
"Shen Lin, what's wrong with you?" Ling and the others looked at me anxiously, not knowing what was going on with me.
I don't have time to answer them. Originally, I wanted to retreat, but the damn protective shield was still on and I couldn't get through. Suddenly I noticed that the researchers over there seemed to have eyepieces, so I rushed over and grabbed a bunch of them and threw them to Ling and Scott. "Adjust to..." I avoided the woman and walked in circles while taking off my eyepiece, glanced at it, and put it on again. "Adjust to MRI mode."
Xiao Wu also got an eyepiece, and he brought this thing with him like everyone else. Then there was a scream in the room, and Xiao Wu actually fainted.
"Is it haunted?" Wei Na retreated to me in surprise. "Are you scared by this thing?"
"Aren't you afraid?" I asked angrily.
Wei Na took my hand and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will hide away?"
Scott asked bravely: "What on earth is this?"
"This...if...if...probably...maybe...!" Ling speculated for a long time without saying anything.
"what exactly is it?"
"It's a ghost." Xiao Chun said simply. "Ghosts, dirt, spirits, that's what it is."
A researcher came over and looked at us all nervously, not knowing what we were doing. "What's wrong with you?"
I quickly took off the eyepiece and put it on his face, and then he screamed and rolled back more than ten meters before stopping. I put the eyepiece back on and looked at this woman. After spending a long time walking around here with her, my fear of her has begun to decrease. The rational thinking dominated by b13 began to take the initiative, and I was gradually thinking and evaluating this woman who might belong to the legend. At this time, the rest of the researchers imitated me and picked up the eyepieces and tried to look. Half of them fainted, and the other half cleverly turned off the protective shields and tried to get a good look. Opportunity to run away.
My emotions affected Wei Na and others, and everyone began to analyze like me. I said as I watched: "There is no thermal induction, no mass or the mass is small enough to levitate in the air, the moving speed is slightly faster than a person's walking speed, the radio wave induction is weak, there is no optical feature, and there is a certain degree of consciousness." What I said. These are the characteristics of this possible female ghost, and Scott and the others quickly realized it.
Without the interference of the protective shield, we quickly moved towards the door, and the female ghost followed us. I saw the opportunity and pulled a button off my clothes, then threw it towards the female ghost. The button penetrated the female ghost's body easily, causing the image of the female ghost still attached to it to shake.
"There are physical characteristics." Wei Na quickly analyzed the situation.
Ling added: "The characteristics are not obvious."
Scott suddenly took over an experimental metal rod placed next to the wall. This thing was supposed to be a part of something, but now it has become a weapon. Scott rushed forward quickly with a stick, and after a series of horizontal and vertical chops, the woman's image was actually scattered. We only saw a bunch of small green pieces scattered into the surrounding air. Xiaochun asked the researchers over there to run quickly, and also took away those who fainted. It would be much easier if we were the only ones left here. At least our ability to escape is much stronger than ordinary people.
Just after the researchers evacuated, the scattered green matter began to reassemble, and soon the woman appeared in front of us again. We all feel like our scalps are numb now, we actually encountered a ghost!
