Chapter 298: Reunion
There are a lot of sundries in the back carriage.
Everyone set a maximum itinerary of three days for this mission, and brought a lot of logistical supplies such as weapons, ammunition, food and medicine, all of which were piled in this carriage.
Fortunately, they were all packed and classified, and the planning was reasonable.
Bai E squeezed out the sundries and pushed out a spacious open space, spreading all the messy things on the floor of the carriage.
After pointing out the corresponding knowledge and technological capabilities, the effects that various objects can play are like instincts. When holding those things in your hands, the explanation subtitles directly related to the things you want to make will jump out in front of you——
[Failed information collection transmitter (sensor type I): This small black round iron piece can transmit your vital signs and current location information back to the fixed receiving center with the set channel, but the premise is that it has not been damaged. Now you can only try to take out the set signal transmission module from it, which may be helpful for the ultra-long-distance communication equipment you need to make. 】
Technology is the ability to mass produce by combining the abilities of many people, not to mention the hand-rubbing of a single person.
Bai'er, who has both information technology and electrical manufacturing capabilities, wants to try whether he can use semi-finished materials to make a communicator that can contact the city's information receiving base... even if it can only transmit simple signals.
[You are trying to assemble a machine...]
[Free creation mode: You are using your knowledge and ability to try to create something new and unknown to you. According to your knowledge, the current success rate is "low". You can pay a certain price (general/scientific research experience) to assist you in completing this creation. (Consumption: 20 experience points/min)]
Don't talk nonsense, just start!
Bai'er is focused and starts to work.
[You are paying general experience to assist your creative attempt... (Consumption: 20 experience points/min)]
The attempt is not smooth sailing.
Just like the sensor type I in his hand, the instinct given by technology and knowledge only allows Bai'er to "know" that a certain module in this thing "may" be useful for his attempt.
The useful parts that other small electrical equipment can provide are even more confusing.
Even the panel's recognition of the possibility of creation is "low", which means that this hand-rubbing is not a simple reading of the bar.
[You are trying to assemble a machine...]
[You are paying general experience to assist your creation attempt... (Consumption: 20 experience points/min)]
[Free creation mode: ...Current success rate is "medium"...]
The car shook, but not violently.
The difficulty did not come from the outside, but too many choices and ideas were the key to Bai'e's troubles.
Without relevant experience, he could only try one idea after another through exhaustive method. Fortunately, he had a "progress bar" that could naturally determine whether it was correct or not, so he could always move in the right direction.
...
Good luck.
The ten teams scattered in such a large area are indeed sparsely populated, but after the first day of exploration, everyone has not deviated far from the initial planned area.
In addition, considering the possible encounters and cooperation between teams, a local area network center installed on each team's car will automatically include the walkie-talkies that enter the communication range into the contactable channels.
That is to say, when the distance between the two teams is close enough, even if they don't meet each other directly, they can contact each other through voice and meet each other.
"Shh~"
Dashan drove to the side of the transport vehicle of another team that was resting in silence.
The other party had opened the window and waited, and shouted to each other through the window: "What's the matter, brother?"
"Did you find that the big guy can't handle it?"
The other party's tone was a little excited.
They tracked for a day, and they also ate dust for a day.
There were almost no clues that could provide information in the tunnels left by the sandworms, and they could only use primitive methods like the Bai'e team to track the places where the sandworms passed.
At this time, other teams suddenly came in a hurry. Does it mean that they have found the target and they will be able to complete the task soon?
"No." Dashan, who was driving, rolled down the window and said urgently, "Hurry up and check the sensors on your body. Are they still on?"
"Sensors?" The other party was stunned.
That thing is close to the skin and hidden in the innermost part. They don't take a shower when they go out on missions. They don't even take off their combat uniforms in the past few days. Who would observe this?
However, Dashan's tone sounded ominous. He asked casually while instructing his teammates behind him.
"What happened?"
Dashan didn't say anything, waiting for the other party to give an answer.
Self-checking is quick, just lift up the clothes.
"It's not working."
"It's not working."
"Mine is not working either..."
The results were summarized, and the captain of the other team who leaned out of the car window suddenly looked serious, "What's going on?"
He stared at Dashan while speaking, "You too?"
"Yeah... us too."
Even if it's broken, it won't break down for everyone.
The things in the research institute may be unreliable occasionally, but they are not unreliable to this extent.
Needless to say, everyone knew this obvious knowledge, so what happened before them meant that the sensors on their bodies were unknowingly attacked by mysterious forces.
None of us are experts on the technical side, and we neither care nor understand how our opponents do this.
They just care...
"Who did this!?"
Dashan spread his hands helplessly, "We also suddenly discovered this problem, and then we thought of verifying it with you. Now it seems... we are not the only ones like this."
When it expired... I don't know.
Where it failed... I don't know.
His eyes darkened.
The unknown is even more frightening. The other team's captain frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Continue the mission?" Dashan looked confused, "We don't know either..."
They didn't discuss the reason just now.
Fulfilling one's responsibilities must be the first priority in their minds, but when encountering obviously weird situations, it seems that going back to report them is quite valuable.
"How about you go back and report the news, and we can continue the mission?" Song Ying stuck his head out and gave the plan he had thought up along the way.
"It's also a way..." The other party nodded and felt that it was not impossible.
If one team is like this, it may be a coincidence. Two teams that left separately are like this, which is hard not to make people wary.
"Shh!" Song Ying, who was sitting in the back row of Dashan, suddenly shouted.
The tacit understanding of the teammates caused the entire team to remain silent for an instant. Dashan, who was sitting at the window, also signaled to the opposite team to stop talking.
Even the engine that was started shut down instantly.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
Song Ying looked sharply at the other side of the opponent's carrier vehicle, and his eyes when he poked his head out were a little confused, "Where is the tunnel you found?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, the team members in the other party's car also noticed something strange.
"team leader!"
With a cry of surprise, the huge transport vehicle was instantly overturned.
Right in front of Dashan and others, the opponent's team's carrier vehicle, which was standing at a right angle, was lifted up on the spot by a huge force, and what followed was sand and rocks flying all over the sky like bullets.
"boom!"
The carrier vehicle that was lifted off rolled several times on the spot, but the movement caused by it could no longer make Dashan and others care.
A more important thing lies ahead - bugs!
The sandworms burst out of the ground and hissed ferociously in the air.
The low hum of insects shook everyone's eardrums.
Was it a premeditated attack?
Or was it because their special gathering behavior aroused the vigilance of the Zerg that had been secretly monitoring them in some way, so they broke out in advance?
But what is certain is that the masterpiece that destroyed each of their sensors was indeed the work of a bug!
These subconscious thoughts were swirling in different people's minds, and a cold voice sounded from the back of the car.
"Meet the enemy!"
Bai E stood by the open door of the carriage and glanced back at the assembled instrument that he had stuffed into a ball of soft materials.
The palm-sized instruments connected unsightly with cables exposed to the air are flashing red lights in the dark compartment, and the data stream that cannot be perceived by humans is being sent in a certain direction through a special channel. .
The signal transmitting device that has been set up in advance can still perform its work faithfully as long as it is moved to another place.
[You have completed a communication device assembly, computer hardware maintenance experience +12, basic electrical manufacturing and processing experience +8. 】
I just hope it can help the base discover something strange about the team going out on a mission...
"boom!"
Bai E suddenly closed the iron door, and with his machine gun, he fired at the sandworm that was fluttering in the air.
