Chapter 597 Chapter 594 Stronger than a Vault
The more methods there are, the more complicated the methods are... Zhuang Xuteng smiled awkwardly, and then replied to Meteor: "Of course I know you can unplug the power supply! I was just thinking about ways not to cut off the power supply, so that it would be possible to recycle these detectors .
"Really?" Meteor sent a smiling emoticon, and then a long string of text: "Are you sure you know which wire to pull out? In order to ensure battlefield stability, it may have two or three current loops, and There will be fault alarms between each other. If you pull it wrongly, it may trigger the alarm directly!"
When it's time to give in, you have to give in. At least you have to have a good attitude when asking others for advice. Zhuang Xuteng replied: "Uh... please tell me which one I should pull out!"
"I'm also not sure about the difference between military products and company products. Let me teach you a way: you focus on the metal ball and see how many wires it is connected to. These wires are either power wires or data wires. Whether it is cutting off the power or disconnecting data, it can make it lose its detection ability. Another method is to find the battery inside the device. The circuit must be connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. This is also a method. The only thing to worry about is the onboard capacitor, which may have residual power. , perhaps enough to send a short alarm..."
If we change the scene and let the intelligence agent deal with the shock detection mine, she will extend multiple stinging tentacles, control all possible connection points respectively, and then cut them off at the same time, leaving no opportunity for redundancy and self-checking systems.
Zhuang Xuteng thought of a simpler and cruder method: directly drain the shadow energy of these devices.
"Okay, I know how to solve the problem, thank you." Zhuang Xuteng said to Meteor: "I may need technical services later, but there is no need to occupy the line all the time. Can I treat you to dinner later?"
"My hair has grown again and I want to style it."
This request was free of charge, so Zhuang Xuteng naturally agreed. If you want to get your hair done, you have to tell Lucy and Morgana in advance to get their permission. And you have to consult where to get your hair permed. Zhuang Xuteng will only leave the hair if he can, and he doesn't know which company is better at perming his hair.
Regarding the detector hidden in the stairs, Zhuang Xuteng took a two-pronged approach, using the wraith tentacles to unplug the power and data cables, and also using the sensing tentacles as a medium to drain the shadow energy inside. After completing this task, he carefully searched the road ahead, and fabricated several other detectors and monitoring heads in the same way. Zhuang Xuteng said to Mike: "Come on, the previous problems have been solved, and we can move on."
"What's the problem ahead?" Mike frowned slightly, looking a little nervous.
"Some of the problems with surveillance equipment are gone now. Without the company's equipment and strict monitoring, wouldn't it be pointless for us to come here? Now that we have these things, you should be happy."
"To be honest, I'm a little nervous. I've only done peripheral auxiliary work in the riot control unit and have never had any collision with the company's direct force. I heard..."
Zhuang Xuteng waved his hand: "Stop talking. Unless your source is someone who often directly confronts the company's power, your words will only damage our morale. Whether we fight the company or not, what we have to do has not changed. It's just When you encounter a problem, you just need to solve it. If you can’t solve it, then withdraw, if you can’t withdraw, then fight, if you can’t fight, then you will die, that’s all.”
Mike swallowed. He began to worry about whether he would live to spend the money he earned from selling information. "Naike, let's go down directly from here?"
"Yes, just take the steps. The elevator is obviously out of service, so jumping is actually an option: can your knees bear it?"
"I take the steps. Left or right?"
"It's up to you. I don't know which side is stronger, so you try to be careful." Zhuang Xuteng walked straight forward, held the railing with his hands and climbed out, and started to fall directly. Mike hurriedly rushed up and looked down, only to see that Zhuang Xuteng had fallen to the bottom of the ground and seemed to be safe and sound.
He looked at the height of thirty meters, gritted his teeth, shook his head, and decided to just walk up the steps honestly.
After reaching the bottom of the shaft, passing through an arched tunnel more than ten meters long, you can see the entrance to the underground fortifications. There is a gate made of reinforced concrete at the entrance, in the shape of a gear, embedded in the wall of the same material, and it fits tightly without leaving any gaps. There should be a control device in front of the door. By entering the password, you can connect to the console inside the door and start the machine to move the door. But someone had destroyed the console, leaving only the bare base with a few long-rotted wires in the holes in the center.
"Look, the road at the door extends to the left and right. It's 70 meters here and 140 meters there. They're all blocked by landslides. If it wasn't blocked, there would be no problem driving cars down here." Zhuang Xuteng squinted. He raised his eyes to check, and then said: "These landslides may not all be caused by natural causes. They are most likely caused by directional blasting. We don't want people to walk from these two sides."
Mike took off his headlamp and held it in his hand, looking as far as he could in both directions. The headlamp didn't work efficiently enough, and the light couldn't give him a distant view. He could only see a dark blackness with floating dust - he couldn't make any comments, he could only keep his mouth shut tightly.
"Is your implanted eye broken?" Zhuang Xuteng asked, pointing to Mike's left eye.
"This is not the original eye. When I left PCPD, I had to hand back the police implanted eyeball. Now this eye only has the ability to zoom in, zoom out, and take pictures, and does not have functions such as low-light vision to enhance observation."
"You still want to return it? That's really mean - but it also shows that you don't have a good relationship with people. I heard that some people just pretended to do it, just went through the fault reporting process, saying that the implant was damaged, and then found a cheap eyeball to smash and hand it in."
"It's true for people in some departments. I'm a detective, and the original eye is directly connected to the identity database and several laboratories, which require an authorized account to access. I thought that when I leave PCPD, those accounts will be cancelled, and since the functions are not used, I might as well return it directly."
"You are so honest... Since you are a detective, then investigate it, and then find out how to open this door!" Zhuang Xuteng came to the front of the console base and lowered his head to look inside. "I'm really convinced, this place is blocked with cement. What are people who do this afraid of? Can someone get in from inside?"
Mike came over to take a look, and it was indeed filled with cement slurry, which was completely blocked, leaving only three rusty wires sticking out like weeds. "I suspect these three wires are some kind of trap. Since they have decided to pour cement, why not just press the wires and pour them in together? Cement is cheap, so what will happen if it is filled up?"
"It is indeed possible that it is a trap. As long as the wires are connected, the alarm may be triggered. But it is also possible that this is a reserved interface so that people who know how to open the door can connect in. If it is the company's own people, they are not afraid of triggering the alarm anyway." Zhuang Xuteng touched his chin and said.
"We obviously don't have the conditions. We are afraid of the company's discovery, and we don't know how to hack into the system." Mike pointed at the door and said, "We can't use blasting, can we?"
"If it was just built, blasting is pure nonsense. The building structure here is obviously designed to withstand high explosives." Zhuang Xuteng narrowed his eyes and stared at the door, and said thoughtfully: "But so many years have passed, looking at the state here, it is obvious that there has been no maintenance. Maybe its structure is already very fragile, but it only maintains a false decency on the outside?"
Mike thought for a while and said, "This reminds me of a case where a group of guys wanted to steal a bank vault by digging a tunnel. After they were blocked by the outer wall of the vault, they used a flaw detector to find weak points, and then used chemicals to corrode the wall bit by bit, burning a hole in the wall."
"Oh? I haven't heard of this. This case should not be done by mercenaries, right? Did they succeed? "
"No, and they are definitely not mercenaries. It is unlikely that mercenaries would spend half a year digging tunnels, nor would they be knocked down by chemical fumes because they forgot to change the filter element of the gas mask. "Mike looked at Zhuang Xuteng and complimented him: "Are mercenaries very cautious and detail-oriented, or are you the only one like this?"
"Everyone is like this." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and asked: "Can the flaw detector you mentioned penetrate this steel-concrete structure? What mechanism does it use, X-ray perspective?"
"Yes, X-ray is one of them, there are also those that use ultrasound, and there are those that use the principle of magnetic field. I don't understand it very well, but I can go and look up the information. "
"My X-ray is not strong enough, we should try to find other ones." Zhuang Xuteng pointed to his eyes, indicating that the eye implant has X-ray perspective function. "Mike, you go along the wall to the left and right to see if there is a gap, and come back to the place where the landslide occurs. Pay attention to the top of your head, maybe you can bypass this wall - just in case you are lucky, right?"
"I'll go now!" Mike nodded, and used his headlamp to carefully check the wall and left.
Zhuang Xuteng faced this giant door with a diameter of five meters alone. Humans often make some large things that make themselves look small, and the door in front of them is one of them. It not only uses an impact-resistant reinforced concrete structure, but also mixes a large amount of heavy metal powder in the concrete, including lead that can prevent the flow of shadow energy, and some radioactive substances that interfere with the operation of spells, which prevents ghost-like summons such as vengeful servants and banshees from passing directly. However, a philosopher once said: If the door is stronger than the wall, then the wall is the door.
Zhuang Xuteng ordered Miss Patient to pass through underground. She can decide the penetration point by herself, but she must not let anyone find out.
Miss Patient can teleport after the swing is accelerated, but no one knows the thickness of the door and the wall, nor does anyone know what is behind the door. If the sick lady is teleported into this reinforced concrete structure, she will most likely be trapped. At that time, the banshee will only have the option of disintegrating on her own, which will waste a lot of mana.
Blasting the door is a joke, and that method must not be used. Apart from anything else, just looking at the many vibration and sound detectors installed in the shaft of the passage, it can be imagined that there will probably be similar equipment behind the door. As long as it is blasted, the vibration generated will definitely be enough to trigger the alarm device.
Is there no other way besides blasting? Obviously not. Zhuang Xuteng also has the powerful weapon of disintegration effect. As long as the mana is enough, any corner of the wall can be dug. But such a skill obviously does not need to be known to Mike, and it should not be used "blatantly" on the main door. If the company's people have a brain twitch and check, and see that there is a hole in the steel-concrete door, they will definitely be curious about who did it, how it was done, and why it did not trigger the alarm.
Zhuang Xuteng cast his eyes on the landslide deep in the passage, where he can show his skills. Zhuang Xuteng tapped the door lightly, sighed, and shouted to Mike, "There's no chance here. I'll go to the other side and meet in front of the door later."
"Okay!" Mike replied, and continued to scan the wall with his headlight.
The sensing tentacles can see far, but in terms of accuracy, the close-range ghost jelly is stronger. Zhuang Xuteng came to the landslide and used the detection results of the ghost jelly to construct a detailed state map of the entire landslide structure in his brain.
It is definitely not enough to just look at it. Zhuang Xuteng pushed and kicked the landslide body a few times and tried to move some of the structures, and then used the "feeling force" technique of the supercomputing martial arts to feel the feedback pressure.
"It's possible." Zhuang Xuteng pondered for a while: the landslide body is very large and has a certain degree of stability. It should not be a problem to create a space close to the wall where a person can curl up and enter and exit. It is best to bring some support materials to supplement and improve the stability of the hollowed-out area. After completing the work here, use quick-drying cement to seal and cover the internal holes, and then collapse the outside, so that the passage can be covered without anyone noticing.
But the premise of all this is that it is worth exploring inside.
Just as Zhuang Xuteng turned around and returned, the patient lady came back. She remained invisible and only established a connection with Zhuang Xuteng at the energy and spell level in the shadow. Judging from its flying speed and range of activities, the sick lady must have found a way to enter and went in to take a look, otherwise she should still be in the process of exhausting the list.
"Is there any target that can be attacked inside?" Zhuang Xuteng could only ask the question in a way that the sick lady could understand. In the eyes of the undead summons full of resentment such as the banshee, there is only a difference between attackable and unattackable, and there is no difference between men, women, old, young, black, white, yellow, and red - they have achieved absolute racial equality.
The sick lady increased the concentration of resentment and made preliminary preparations for the bone spear technique, which is obviously enough to indicate "attackable".
In other words, there must be someone inside, and it must be a living person. What are living people doing in this underground space that has been closed for many years? In addition to conspiracy, are there other possibilities?
Although there is no Palovic and the Gardener Organization here, Zhuang Xuteng's escape plan is to cause enough losses to the company, get the investigation team back, increase the tension in Peicheng, and end the search for Palovic. Regardless of what is inside this underground project - after all, Miss Patient only knows what to kill and how to kill, and nothing else - it is at least hidden enough, far away enough from Zhuang Xuteng's daily world, to be an alternative target.
